The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. Novel Process for Functional Chromium Plating from Non-Toxic Trivalent Chromium (Cr(III)) Plating Bath

    SBC: Faraday Technology, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    Chromium coatings are widely used in various industries. Functional chromium is currently plated from a Cr(VI) bath. However, Cr(VI) is identified as one of 17 "high-priority" toxic chemicals by the EPA. Compared to Cr(VI), Cr(III) is environmentally benign and the waste disposal cost is significantly reduced. However, functional chromium coatings are not currently available from a Cr(III) bat ...

  2. The Use of Recycled Solid Automotive Paint Wastes as Ingredients in Automotive Sealant Products

    SBC: Aster Inc.            Topic: N/A

    About 75,000,000 lbs of paint sludge is generated by the U.S. automotive industry each year. This type of waste and (similar streams from other industries) make significant contributions to landfills. The solution proposed by ASTER, Inc., proven feasible during the Phase I of this work, is to recycle the paint sludge into ingredients for automotive sealants. This new approach results in waste g ...

  3. RECYCLING OF SOLID ZINC PHOSPHATING PROCESS WASTE

    SBC: Chemical Reclamation Tech            Topic: N/A

    A METHOD FOR RECYCLING ZINC PHOSPHATING PROCESS WASTE IS PROPOSED. ABOUT THREE MILLION POUNDS OF SOLID CHEMICAL WASTE IS GENERATED ANNUALLY FROM ZINC PHOSPHATING IN NORTH AMERICA. THE WASTE IS AN INORGANIC MIXED ZINC/IRON TERTIARY SALT OF PHOSPHORIC ACID. TOXICITY LEVELS VARY BUT MOST WASTES CONTAIN NICKEL, CHROME, LEAD, AND OTHER TOXINS IN SMALL QUANTITIES. THE METHOD DEPENDS UPON CONTINUOUS REMO ...

  4. AQUEOUS BASED SULFUR FREE PULPING

    SBC: GUILD ASSOCIATES INC            Topic: N/A

    THE PROPOSAL RESPONDS TO PUBLIC AND US EPA PRESSURE ON THE PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRY TO REDUCE POLLUTING EMISSIONS. PULP FROM THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER, CONTAINER BOARD, TISSUE AND BAGS IS PRIMARILY PRODUCED BY THE KRAFT PROCESS. THIS PROCESS REDUCES WOOD CHIPS TO PULP USING SODIUM SULFIDE AND SODIUM HYDROXIDE. AS A RESULT, LARGE QUANTITIES OF NOXIOUS SULFUR CONTAINING GASES MAY BE EMITTED FROM THESE ...

  5. DIRECT SULFUR RECOVERY

    SBC: Sorbent Technologies Corp            Topic: N/A

    THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AND DEMONSTRATE A LOW- COST ALTERNATIVE TO A MODIFIED CLAUS PLAN FOR CONVERSION OF SO2 TO ELEMENTAL SULFUR, AND, MORE SPECIFICALLY, TO OPTIMIZE AN EXISTING ACID RAIN SORBENT REGENERATION PROCESS DEVELOPED BY SANITECH TO YIELD DIRECTLY A PURE ELEMENTAL SULFUR PRODUCT. IN SANITECH'S PRESENT REGENERATION PROCESS, APPROXIMATELY ONE- QUARTER OF THE LI ...

  6. SCRAP TIRE PYROLYSIS-- PRODUCTION OF HIGHLY ENHANCED MARKETABLE PRODUCTS

    SBC: Hichem Corp.            Topic: N/A

    RESEARCH WILL BE CONDUCTED BY HICHEM CORPORATION, TO DEVELOP A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR PYROLYSIS OF SCRAP TIRES. DISPOSAL OF USED TIRES IS A BIG PROBLEM IN THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY USA, SINCE MORE THAN 2.5 MILLION TIRES ARE DISCARDED EACH YEAR. MOST OF THESE TIRES ARE DISPOSED IN LANDFILLS. PYROLYSIS OF SCRAP TIRES HELPS TO RECOVER AND REUSE MOST OF THE VALUABLE CHEMICAL AVAILABLE IN TIRES. PYROLYSIS OF S ...

  7. RECYCLING OF DUST FROM ELECTRIC ARC FURNACES

    SBC: Pei Associates Inc            Topic: N/A

    THE MAJOR SHORTCOMINGS OF THE VARIOUS PROCESSES SUGGESTED BY RECYCLING METALLURGICAL DUST HAVE BEEN THE HIGH CAPITAL COST OF THE EQUIPMENT AND THE NEED FOR LARGE QUANTITIES OF DUST FOR THE PROCESSES TO BE ECONOMICAL. ELECTRIC ARC FURNACE DUST IS NOT AMENABLE TO THESE PROCESSES BECAUSE IT IS GENERATED IN SMALL QUANTITIES AND A LARGE NUMBER OF LOCATIONS, DISTANT FROM INDUSTRIAL CENTERS WHERE REGIONA ...

  8. Passive Lean NOx Trap Technology for Mobile Diesel Engines

    SBC: Sorbent Technologies Corp            Topic: N/A

    Heavy-duty highway diesel engine NOx emission standards will drop from the current 4.0 g/bhp-hr level to 0.2 g/bhp-hr in 2007. No technology, or combination of technologies, has yet demonstrated the ability to achieve such a NOx reduction on the road. During the last year, Sorbent Technologies Corporation has been working on a Phase II research project to develop a new NOx control concept for st ...

  9. Phosphorus Removal and Recovery From Municipal Wastewater Using Nano-Enhanced Media

    SBC: MetaMateria Technologies, LLC            Topic: A

    This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop approaches for the capture and recovery of phosphorus in municipal reclamation facilities processing under I MGD using an innovative nanostructured sorption media. The captured phosphorous will be recovered from the media by a simple treatment and will be converted to a useful material.Eutrophication is a process in which ...

  10. Hard Gold Plating for Electronics Applications from a Non-Cyanide Bath

    SBC: Faraday Technology, Inc.            Topic: 14NCER2A

    The proposed program addresses the need for a commercialized process to efficiently deposit a hard gold coating from a non-cyanide bath for electronics applications that also does not contain nickel or cobalt. Seventy percent of industrial gold use is in the deposition of gold coatings for electronics applications. Most of the electrodeposited gold is used to provide electrical contact surfaces wi ...
