Paper is the largest material used in the packaging industry due to its low handling costenvironmentally friendly nature recyclability and low weight. The global demand for paper andboard in 2016 was $279 billion and is expected to reach $518 billion by 2022. Compared to plasticpaper and paperboard are produced from cellulose which is the most abundant natural material.However hydrophilicity and p ...

Equity capital markets are unorganized or non-existent in rural areas with most capital directed outward. Emerging growth companies have difficulty obtaining equity capital - precisely the kind of companies that rural America must develop to increase earnings or workers. The key to attracting investment of capital and know-how to rural areas is to create regionally-based organizations capable of c ...

During Phase I Dakota Technologies, Inc. (DTI) will demonstrate a fuel leak detection system that is vastly superior to the costly, manpower-intensive techniques currently used in repair, overhaul, and production facilities. The technique uses resonance enhabced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy to test the airspace outside the tank for the presence of certain hydrocarbon constituents o ...

A low value by-product of flour milling--midds--shows great potential as a bioprocessing feedstock to produce high protein feed. Phase I research demonstrated ability to upgrade 18% protein midds to 47% protein concentrate, in part, by hydrolyzing hemicellulose to pentose for high protein yeast propagation, instead of leaving it as an inexpensive source of fiber. In the U.S. 224 flour mills produc ...
