Direct Energy Solutions proposes to design, fabricate and test a basic prototype decontamination device for building protection from chemical and biological weapons attack and the general enhancement of indoor air quality. The decontamination device generates metastable Singlet Delta Oxygen (SDO), O2 (a1¿), a strong oxidant of biological and chemical pathogens, from direct optical excitation of ...

This SBIR Phase II proposal addresses development of a field-portable, amperometric biosensor for monitoring organophosphorus (OP) and carbamate insecticides in water. The miniaturized biosensor will use a modified screen-printed microelectrode with high sensitivity and lowlimit of detection for OP and carbamate pesticides. This biosensor will be selective for OPs and carbamates. The enzyme use ...

The contamination of drinking, recreational, and agricultural water sources in developed and/or developing countries, including the United States, necessitate a fast, reliable detection method. The use of biological weapons by terrorists to contaminate water supplies is a more recent development that poses additional challenges since such agents are difficult to observe at the time of initial dep ...

TDA Research, Inc., (TDA) is developing a novel non-carbon sorbent to control mercury emissions from flue gas from hazardous waste incinerators and coal-fired power plants. The sorbent could be easily injected into the flue gas and could be recovered in the Particulate Control Device (PCD) along with the fly ash, minimizing capital investment. Unlike the carbon materials used to date, our sorben ...

The contamination of water resources (drinking, recreational, and agricultural) in developed and/or developing countries, including the United States, necessitates a fast, reliable water safety detection method. The potential use of biological weapons by terrorists to contaminate water supplies is a more recent development that poses additional challenges because such agents are diffi ...

Directed Energy Solutions (DES) proposes to design, fabricate, and test a basic prototype decontamination device for protecting buildings from chemical and biological weapons attack and the general enhancement of indoor air quality. The decontamination device generates metastable singlet delta oxygen (SDO), O2 (a1Δ), a strong oxidant of biological and chemical pathogens, from direct ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SELECTIVE DETECTORS FOR GAS AND LIQUID CHROMTOGRAPHY FOR THE SENSITIVE MEASUREMENT OF SULFUR-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS IS PROPOSED. THESE DETECTORS ARE BASEDON FLUORINE-INDUCED CHEMILUMINESCENCE AND ARE HIGHLY SE SELECTIVE FOR SULFIDES, DISULFIDES AND MERCAPTANS. THE MAJORRESEARCH PROPOSED IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SOURCES OF FLU FLUORINE WHICH WILL BE SAFE, PROTABLE, AND LOW IN ...
