The technology consists of an original industrial process by which natural materials can be turned into products with optional level of hydrophobic and oil adsorbent properties. These products can be developed as powders or granules with varying levels of hardness, water resistance, size, and density for diverse set of applications. Based on raw material products can be further enhanced to inherit additional properties for heavy metal adsorption, gas adsorption, protein adsorption, and more. Th...

Oil spill disasters bring about massive environmental and long-term ecological problems. Companies also suffer significant profit losses due to oil wastage. In addition to oil spills, the contamination of water sources with industrial wastewater containing toxic organic solvents further aggravates the scarcity of clean water. Adsorption is one of the most effective clean-up methods used. However, commonly used absorbents (such as polymers, activated carbon, etc) suffer from low adsorption effici...

Though air is invisible, we feel air in almost anywhere on this planet. That is why we are so conscious about air in dairy life. The device which applies this technology has ability to decompose odor constituent in air by photocatalysis reaction, and exhaust clean air. Although scale of this device is not big, it has outstanding output power. The technology has minimal operation and maintenance issues. The technology has already been deployed and validated in various facilities such as one of t...

An environmentally friendly production of a low cost aerogel-type material was developed to be used for improving properties of existing products in areas: Thermal Insulation, Filtration of Gases and Liquids, and Coatings. Classically produced aerogels are due to high production cost mainly used in blankets or boards for improved high performance thermal insulation. The high cost only makes it possible to address niche markets which limits the market potential. The simplified and efficient new p...

Graphene, a two-dimensional carbon allotrope with diverse properties such as superior electric conductivity, thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, flexibility and low density, amongst others. By tuning the surface functionality, various graphene derivatives and composites can be synthesized using low-cost wet process. Different technological solutions that address different issues like anti-fouling, durability of coatings and long service life Li-ion batteries, etc., have been developed by...

The Integrated Reverse Osmosis module (iRO) is a compact and energy efficient module for small scale seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) applications of typically less than 100 m3/day. The patented module design includes an internal energy recovery system (ERS) which can significantly reduce the energy consumption for desalination.  The integration within a single module eliminates the capital cost of a separate ERS, as well as the need for skilled personnel for installation and maintenance of the h...

We provide an intelligent air cleaning system with real-time monitor and remote control. The system is able to remove air pollution such as PM2.5, formaldehyde, VOC, and bacteria. In addition, the system does not only monitor air quality, but also transmit the air quality data wirelessly to the cloud database for further analysis. Based on the system, the countermeasures on promoting community environmental health can be established. As a result, we can breathe clean and fresh air everywhere.

A new material has been developed by embedding graphene, in roll-up form, in titanium-dioxide composite nanofibre. It is used as a photocatalyst to harvest light, in order to generate electrons and positive holes. These electrons are transferred to various sites along the nanofiber where reactions are needed, and reacts with oxygen in air to generate super-anions, while the remaining positive holes react with water vapour in air to generate hydroxyl radicals. The highly conductive nature of grap...

Silica (SiO2) fibrous material is a special functional material with unique properties represented by amorphous fibre structure. These silica fibres can adsorb significantly more water than commercially available silica gel of the same mesoporous character. This feature is especially apparent in the range of medium relative humidity (30-70% RH), which is industrially the most important range for adsorption (in electronics, food, chemical industries, and numerous others). Owing to its porosity, t...
