Photonic Crystal Slot Waveguide Spectrometer for Monitoring of Volatile Organic Compounds in Groundwater and Hazardous Pollutants in Air
SBC: OMEGA OPTICS, INC. Topic: 09NCERC1In this program, Omega Optics, Inc. and the University of Texas, Austin, propose a novel lab-on-chip photonic crystal slot waveguide infrared spectrometer for detection and spectroscopic analysis of BTEX hydrocarbons (benzene and toluene) in water and greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide) in air. The device utilizes the unique dispersive properties of slow light photonic crystal waveguides together ...

Improved Heterogeneous Catalyst for the Transesterification of Triglycerides to Biodiesel
SBC: LYNNTECH INC. Topic: 09NCERH1There is a finite amount of fossil fuels, which will only last a few more decades. Therefore, it is imperative to develop renewable sources of energy. An area that has recently attracted a lot of attention is the conversion of renewable oils to biodiesel, primarily through the methanolysis of triglycerides. The use of an immobilized lipase as a heterogeneous biocatalyst to transform oils into ...

Organophosphate Degrading Enzymes
SBC: AGAVE BIOSYSTEMS INC. Topic: 08NCERI1Agave BioSystems in collaboration with Carl A. Batt proposes to develop decon-nanoparticles, which will leverage ongoing opportunities in enzyme engineering and the fabrication of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles. Enhanced performance will be engineered into the system to improve the catalytic degradation of chemical agents. Through an iterative process optimizing the particles and the enzy ...

Sensitive, Quantitative, and Portable Anatoxin Assay using Aptamers and Quantum Dot Nanoshell Reporting
SBC: Biotex, Inc. Topic: 07NCERD1This proposed project directly addresses an U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calling for “improved detection and measurement techniques including screening kits for algal neurotoxins (especially cyanobacterial anatoxin) and cytotoxins in drinking water systems.” Bloom-forming cyanobacteria have been observed in water bodies, including drinking water reservoirs all over the world. Se ...

Handheld FRET Aptamer Sensor to Satisfy the Beaches Act
SBC: Operational Techologies Corporation Topic: 06NCERC2Operational Technologies Corporation (OpTech) proposes to couple the ultrasensitivity of fluorescence-based detection with the high affinity and selectivity of DNA aptamers as improved replacements for antibodies to detect fecal indicator organisms in fresh and marine recreational waters. Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) aptamer assays for fecal indicator organisms will be demon ...

Reduction of NOx using On-Board Plasma Generated Hydrogen
SBC: LYNNTECH INC. Topic: 06NCERD3Off-road diesel-powered equipment (i.e., tractors/dozers, excavators, backhoes, surface equipment, etc.) are designed with lifetimes of more than 25-30 years. As such, most of the diesel equipment in use today was manufactured before there were any emissions standards at all, much less up to the stringent requirements of modern vehicle emissions. To combat this massive source of pollutants, ...

An Inexpensive Biological and Chemical Decontamination Solution from a Powdered Concentrate
SBC: LYNNTECH INC. Topic: 06NCERD5All levels of government and law enforcement are making plans to contain the effects of a terrorist attack using chemical and biological warfare agents. An important containment strategy is to enable emergency response personnel (e.g., police, fire fighters, etc.) to neutralize the threat using decontamination methods. The two primary decontamination solutions used by the military are supertropi ...

Environmentally Benign Production of Nanoscale Materials
SBC: LYNNTECH INC. Topic: 05NCERD2The sorbent proposed to be developed by Lynntech, Inc., in this Phase I project will have potential applications in: (1) industrial wastewater treatment plants, (2) municipal wastewater treatment plants, (3) nuclear waste treatment plants, (4) drinking water treatment plants, (5) several types of existing point-of-use and point-of-entry water purifying systems, and (6) for remediation ...

Real-Time, Reagentless, and Arrayed Detector for the Monitoring of Harmful Algal Bloom Toxins
SBC: LYNNTECH INC. Topic: 05NCERD4Harmful algal blooms (HABs) occur in aquatic environments when conditions trigger an increase in the abundance of organisms that produce toxins. The toxins are transferred through the food web where they affect and even kill zooplankton, shellfish, fish, birds, marine mammals, and possibly humans. HABs have been estimated to cost the United States as much as $50 million per year as ...

Novel Material and Process for Replacement of Lead Products
SBC: MATERIALS PROCESSING, INC. Topic: 04NCERA3Lead is a soft, low melting point, high density, and inexpensive material that can be shaped easily. All of these attributes have made lead useful in applications such as bullets, fishing rod sinkers, weights for balancing tires, hunting shots, etc. In spite of these attractive properties, lead is a major environmental contaminant because of its toxicity. Lead can be stored in biological tissue ...
