Electrochemical Carbon Dioxide Separator
ud19-12 – APPLICATION: This is an inovative product that can continuously capture and concentrate carbon dioxide from a gas stream. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED: Current carbon dioxide separators are not able to operate continuously, but instead, require regeneration like sorbents in order to keep operating. Additionally, current separators are not very compact and do not operate at maximum efficiency... Read More
Electrochemical generation of valuable chemicals from carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide
ud19-08 – APPLICATION: A novel electrochemical method for obtaining amides, carboxyl acids, and thioesters from carbon dioxide and/or carbon monoxide has been invented. This technology will support inexpensive, highly sustainable, and green production of a range of valuable chemicals. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED: Current carbon monoxide electrolysis reactors and electrochemical production methods for... Read More
Photodynamic Therapy of Cancer Using Novel Water Soluble Palladium Biladiene Derivatives
ud18-43 – APPLICATION: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) represents a minimally invasive and highly localized treatment strategy to ablate tumors with few side effects. Photosensitizers embedded within tumors are activated by light and undergo intersystem crossing, followed by energy transfer to molecular oxygen, resulting in the production of toxic singlet oxygen. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED: Several... Read More
Tandem Adsorption-Catalytic Oxidation for the Abatement of Ammonia Emissions from Poultry Houses
ud18-36 – APPLICATION: This technology has introduced a revolutionary way of abating ammonia emissions using an absorption-catalytic oxidation process. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED: Emission control of ammonia using catalytic oxidation is currently not in the market even though there is 44 million tons of ammonia produced globally each year. It is a unique new process that can segway into future... Read More
