Methods and systems for preparing compositions

Abstract

Embodiments described herein generally relate to methods and systems for preparing compositions, such as those comprising hydrogen gas. In some embodiments, the method comprises injecting liquid hydrogen and/or a liquid noble gas(es) into another liquid (e.g., a composition) such that at least a portion of the liquid hydrogen and/or liquid noble gas(es) can change phase into a gaseous phase. The liquid noble gas may be, for example, liquid xenon, liquid argon, or the like. In some embodiments, the gaseous hydrogen and/or the liquid noble gas(es) may infuse with the composition (e.g., such that at least a portion of the hydrogen gas and/or noble gas(es) is dissolved within the composition). Such compositions comprising hydrogen gas and/or noble gas(es) may be useful, for example, for the treatment of animal and human diseases, for improvement in athletic performance, for the enhancement of the overall health of a subject, or the like. Such compositions and/or liquids described herein may be administered (e.g., orally) to a subject, e.g., drunk by a subject.

         70 . An article, comprising:
 a sealed container containing a composition pressurized using liquid hydrogen.   
     
     
         71 . An article as in  claim 70 , wherein the sealed container further comprises greater than or equal to 0.1 mg of a liquid noble gas. 
     
     
         72 . An article as in  claim 70 , wherein the sealed container is a can, bottle, jar, pouch, box, bag, or capsule. 
     
     
         73 . An article as in  claim 70 , wherein the sealed container contains a pressure at least 1 psi greater than atmospheric pressure. 
     
     
         74 . An article as in  claim 70 , wherein the composition is a drinkable liquid. 
     
     
         75 . A method, comprising:
 introducing, into a container comprising a composition, greater than or equal to 0.1 mg of liquid hydrogen; and   sealing the container.   
     
     
         76 . A method as in  claim 75 , wherein the liquid hydrogen changes phase to gaseous hydrogen after sealing the container such that the contents within the container are pressurized. 
     
     
         77 . A method as in  claim 75 , wherein introducing the liquid hydrogen comprises dispensing the liquid hydrogen into the container via a dispenser. 
     
     
         78 . A method as in  claim 77 , wherein the dispenser is configured and arranged introduce liquid hydrogen into a plurality of containers at a rate of greater than or equal to 100 containers per minute. 
     
     
         79 . A method as in  claim 77 , wherein the disperser comprises a valve for introducing liquid hydrogen into the composition, and the valve is configured such that the liquid hydrogen does not substantially change phase while flowing through the valve. 
     
     
         80 . A method as in  claim 75 , wherein the composition is a drinkable liquid. 
     
     
         81 . A method as in  claim 75 , further comprising introducing an inert gas proximate the container. 
     
     
         82 . A method as in  claim 75 , further comprising introducing, into the container, greater than or equal to 0.1 mg of liquid noble gas. 
     
     
         83 . A system, comprising:
 a source comprising liquid hydrogen; and   a dispenser in fluid communication with the source, the dispenser configured and arranged to introduce greater than or equal to 0.1 mg of liquid hydrogen into containers associated with the dispenser at a rate of 100 containers per minute.   
     
     
         84 . A system as in  claim 83 , wherein the dispenser comprises a value, wherein the valve is configured and designed for the introduction of liquid hydrogen into the container. 
     
     
         85 . A system as in  claim 83 , wherein the composition is a drinkable liquid. 
     
     
         86 . A system as in  claim 83 , further comprising a container sealing system configured and designed to seal the containers after the dispenser has dispensed liquid hydrogen into the containers. 
     
     
         87 . A system as in  claim 83 , wherein the source further comprises a liquid noble gas. 
     
     
         88 . A system as in  claim 83 , wherein the system further comprises a gaseous hydrogen removal system in gaseous communication with the dispenser. 
     
     
         89 . A system as in  claim 88 , wherein the gaseous hydrogen removal system comprises a fan.
