Novel Class of Materials for Boron Extraction

Project ID: D2009-11 Background Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) has gained widespread acceptance and use in laboratories due to the fact that it is a solvent-less extraction technique, its mode of operation is relatively simple, easy to automate, and sampling and sample preparation are combined into one step. Until now, methods that coat SPME...

Cost- and Energy-Efficient Device for De-watering Microalgae Using Stimuli-Sensitive Hydrogels

Project ID: D2016-01 IP Status: US Patent 10,077,422 Invention Description: Currently, a major hurdle for commercial-scale production of fuels and other products from microalgae is recovering algal biomass from growth media with minimal cost and energy input. When cultivated in open raceway ponds, microalgae concentrations are very low – typically...
