Pilot-Scale Method of Processing and Reusing Fats, Oils, and Grease (2021-158)
Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOGs) have long burdened society by taking up space in landfills and causing pipeline blockage, sewer overflow, and property damage. Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) process FOGs and send the waste grease to landfills in containers. With an increasing population, however, a more aggressive approach is necessary to reduce the...

Energy-efficient Direct Air Co2 Capture System (2021-031 & 2021-093)
With CO2 emissions regulations and CO2-related environmental challenges on the rise, more and more focus has been placed on capturing CO2. CO2 can be captured where it is released, but can be a challenge to capture directly from air where its concentration is significantly lower.
CO2 can be adsorbed from ambient air, but this is typically inefficient...

Catalyst for Degradation of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) (2019-044)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of chemicals that are resistant to grease, oil, water and heat. These advantageous properties have allowed PFAS to be used in fabrics and carpeting, cleaning products, paints, and fire-fighting foams. However, the widespread use of PFAS coupled with their inability to degrade in the environment...

Photocatalytic Carbon Filters (116-046)
Harmful Algal Blooms, or HABs, occur in fresh water, especially in the presense of warm temperatures, sunlight, and excessive amounts of nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen. HABs produce toxic chemicals called cyanotoxins which affect people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, and birds. These cyanotoxins can cause fatal illness in humans. HABs have...

Novel Mercury (and other metal) Vapor Sorbents (106-035)
Dr. Neville Pinto and his laboratory have developed a material to remove metal vapors from gas streams, particularly mercury.
Coal-fired power plants are the largest single man-made source of mercury pollution in the U.S. (approximately 48 tons of mercury annually, or about one-third of the total US anthropogenic mercury emissions). Mercury from coal-fired...
