- LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY SEEKS PARTNERSHIPS WITH INDUSTRY TO COMMERCIALIZE A MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR REMOVING AQUEOUS PHASE METALS Announcement: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the University of California under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is seeking one or more industrial partners to commercialize LLNL's aerogel/Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) composite solid materials and method for removing metals from aqueous media. Scientists at LLNL have invented solid materials to remove contaminating metals and organic compounds from aqueous media. The contaminants are removed by passing the metals in an aqueous or vapor phase through the solids in molded, granular or powder form. The solids adsorb the metals and the organics leaving a purified aqueous stream. The species-specific adsorption occurs through specific chemical modifications of the solids tailored toward the contaminant(s). The contaminated solids can then be disposed of or the contaminant can be removed and the solids recycled. The materials can be used to clean-up any aqueous stream with environmentally damaging materials such as ground water with uranium, hexavalent chromium, or other heavy metal contamination, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contamination, ground water or surface waters with petroleum product contamination or fuel spills, and waste storage tanks. Another use is metal recovery. An aerogel/GAC composite solid material is also capable of adsorbing aqueous phase gold. LLNL has a patent pending on the method and materials. LLNL is seeking industrial partners to commercialize the invention. LLNL is also interested in a collaborative research partnership to improve the invention and to explore other applications for the invention. Note: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Companies interested in developing and commercializing LLNL's technology for removing metals from aqueous media and/or a collaborative research partnership should provide a written statement of interest, which includes the following: 1. Company Name and Address 2. The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact 3. A description of corporate expertise and facilities relevant to commercializing this technology Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization P.O. Box 808, L-795 Livermore, CA 94551-0808 Attention: FBO 92-04 Please provide your written statement within thirty (30) days from the date this announcement is published to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's subject title.
