The use of unattended floats, platforms, and drones addresses the immense challenge of cost-effectively characterizing the chemistry of the oceans. The proposed program strengthens this capability by demonstrating the feasibility of Laser Fluorescence Enhanced Flame Spectrophotometry (LFEFS) for the simultaneous and high precision measurement of calcium and strontium. These are key elements of the ...

Precision Combustion, Inc. proposes to develop functionalized nanocarbons as an improved high capacity, regenerable filter for VOCs and other gaseous contaminants, tailored to the purpose of sorption of a broad array of air contaminants from indoor or industrial sources. The company’s sorbent offers to overcome limitations to air purification inherent to other commercial sorbents, including loss ...

Portland cement concrete is the most widely used construction material, and is a prevalent component of construction and demolition (C&D) waste. The large carbon footprint and energy content of Portland cement concrete; the constraints on its strength, durability and capability to encapsulate toxic elements; and the low value of C&D waste concrete have created a growing demand for alternative ceme ...

This project will result in a high-efficiency, low-cost nanostructure array (nano-array) based NOx aftertreatment devices to meet the need of reducing the NOx emission from the transportation industry and the usage of Pt-group metals (PGM). Synthesized via a low temperature solution process, a nano-array based Lean NOx Trapping (LNT) device will be developed and validated with great advantages ove ...

PHASE I WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF A SIMPLE, COST EFFECTIVE PROCESS FOR THE ON-SITE REGENERATION AND REACTIVATION OF SPENT CARBONS. THE SPENT CARBONS MAY CONTAIN HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS, BOTH ORGANIC AND INORGANIC. THE REGENERATION IS ACCOMPLISHED WITH AN INNOVATIVE THERMAL PROCESS WHICH PRODUCES HIGHLY REACTIVE CHEMICAL SPECIES AT HIGH TEMPERATURE ON THE SURFACE OF THE CARBON MATRIX WHERE THE ...
