University: Robert Gordon University
Sector(s): Life Sciences, Chemical, Engineering & Manufacturing, Energy & Renewables, Food & Drink, Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals, Environment & Sustainability
About Opportunity:
The technology utilises widely available, relatively cheap standard granulated carbons and modifies their surfaces to suit specialised applications. The unique benefit is the increased specificity that allows for the selective absorption/separation of target molecules from gas/liquid streams and also the exclusion of other unwanted species from the filter, which would otherwise reduce the efficiency of the filter and its lifetime.
Key Benefits:
Energy - recovery of pure hydrogen from air for fuel cellsPurification - of toxic effluents, nuclear waste & contaminated water streamsBio separations - where disposable filter elements for dialysis and the selective filters for bioactive molecules is currently of immense interest in containing & treating contagious diseasesSafety/Protection - ability to use the technology as safety clothing &breathing apparatus for civilian and military protection
Applications:
Energy ProvisionFuel cell development Water and effluent treatment companiesBio separation and biomedical devicesPersonal breathing apparatus Food and beverage processing
IP Status:
United States Patent Pending 12/373,273 European Patent Pending EP2040815
