Inexpensive Colorimetric Sensor for Formaldehyde
SBC: ISENSE, LLC Topic: 16NCER1AThis Phase I proposal describes the development an inexpensive, portable optical sensor to monitor indoor formaldehyde levels. The proposed instrument will be capable of detecting 0.05-5 ppm levels of formaldehyde in the presence of common interferents. Formaldehyde is used in manufacturing and is present in many building materials. There are significant health risks associated with even low level ...

A Simple Lead Test for Drinking Water Safety
SBC: KWJ ENGINEERING INC Topic: 16NCER4CThe goal of this program is to demonstrate a simple, low cost home test for lead ion, Pb(II), in drinking water. The US is faced with a deteriorating water service system used by many millions of people. This condition poses a serious public health threat, as illustrated recently by the Flint water crisis, but the problem is widespread and expected to grow. A simple, yet reliable test is needed th ...

Renewable electricity-powered carbon dioxide conversion to ethanol for storage and transportation
SBC: TWELVE BENEFIT CORPORATION Topic: DEFOA0001563Cost-effective electrochemical reduction of CO2 (ECO2R) in the atmosphere, is the holy grail of green chemistry. Using only water and electricity as other inputs, ECO2R has been demonstrated to produce ethanol with pure oxygen as a co-product. Ethanol is a versatile fuel that can be used in fuel cells, reformed to make hydrogen, or burned in an internal combustion engine. Ethanol produced from air ...

A Membrane Preconcentrator for Portable Trace VOC Detectors
SBC: MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 05NCERC3The sensitivity of low-cost, portable volatile organic compound (VOC) detectors currently in use is low, which limits their application in many situations. More sensitive detectors are more expensive and less robust and not suitable for field use. This Phase I project involves the development of a membrane-based preconcentrator able to concentrate trace amounts of VOC contaminants to levels that ...
