This Phase I research project involves an innovative technology for sulfur dioxide (SO2) removal from coal-burning flue gases: flue gas desulfurization (FGD) technology. The current FGD technologies are expensive and energy extensive, and they generate secondary pollution. For example, the… More

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop an innovative carbon- polymer-matrix material for gas separation applications. Synthesized with a unique method, the material possesses unique chemical-physical properties, such as liquid expelling and catalytic reactivity.… More

In this Phase I program, a unique carbon material is proposed as high density, ambient condition ammonia vapor storage media. Ammonia is a potential solution of hydrogen supply for fuel cell systems; it has high hydrogen content and cracking ammoniagenerates COx-free hydrogen gas. The preferred… More

This NIH SBIR Phase I research will study the feasibility of using our recently developed large micropore volume activated carbon (LMPV-AC) material for medical oxygen gas storage applications. The proposed research is based on the fact that the proposed material possesses large micropore volume… More

We propose to develop a novel nano-laminated Fe magnetic core material. With our proprietary technique, we have developed a process to create Fe sheets of hundred nanometers thick. By coating these Fe sheets with a thin insulating layer and subsequent consolidation, we can achieve nano-laminated… More

79763S Natural gas provides a clean and environmentally friendly fuel for electric power generation; however, the distribution network, and especially the storage system, is ill-suited for projected gowth in natural gas used for electical energy generation. This project will develop a natural gas… More

This SBIR Phase I program aimes to demonstrate the feassibility of an innovative multi-polutant removal technology for the flue gas purification of small industrial boilers. Compared to the conventional flue gas purification processes, the proposed technology is more suitable for the small… More
