Chemo-catalytic valorization of pectin production side streams into platform chemicals
A biphasic acid/solvent reactor process that converts wet pectin manufacturing side streams into 5-(chloromethyl)furfural (CMF) and furfural without drying or biological catalysts. CMF and furfural are mainstream bio-bas...
Lignin-based sunscreen formulation using silica gel particles for UV protection
A novel sunscreen concept that uses lignin-derived aromatics irreversibly absorbed onto silica gel particles to block UV light. The silica carrier prevents skin absorption of chemicals and eliminates reef-damaging runoff...
Colorimetric test for acrylamide in drinking water
A simple, low-cost colorimetric method for detecting acrylamide in drinking water using hydroxamic acid derivatization and transition metal complexation. Designed as a cheaper alternative to LC-MS and GC-MS, the approach...
Cu-zn and metal alloy water filtration cartridges for chlorine and chloramine reduction
A novel approach to water filtration using pure reducing metal couples (such as Cu-Zn or Sn-Zn) in cartridge form to reduce chloramines and chlorine in water, eliminating the need for activated carbon. This technology ai...
