- Description
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle Memorial Institute under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology (hereinafter referred to as "technology"). License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. PNNL may also be available to licensee(s) to assist in further research and development of the technology under a sponsored research agreement or CRADA program. Description of the Invention: High capacity sulfur dioxide adsorbents based on the highly active manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve OMS-2 (tunnel structure cryptomelane) have been developed. Their SO2 capacities from 250?C to 475?C are more than ten times higher than those of conventional metal oxide-based SO2 adsorbents. Their maximum SO2 capacities can be as high as 70 wt%. The dominant mechanism for SO2 absorption is through the oxidation of SO2 to SO3 by Mn4+ and Mn3+ followed by SO3 reaction with Mn2+ to form MnS04. These high capacity SO2 adsorbents can be used for removal of SO2 generated from thermal power plants, factories, and on-road diesel engines, off-road diesel engines and marine diesels. They can be especially effective for removal of SOX present in the emissions of diesel trucks, in order to protect downstream emissions control devices such as particulate filters and NOx traps which are poisoned by SOx. Reference 14004-E. Note: THIS IS NOT PROCUREMENT. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by e-mail) no later than 45 days from the publication date of this Notice summarizing the company's business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Companies deemed appropriate will be provided with further information on the technology. Such information may require the execution of a Nondisclosure Agreement. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a commercial license will be required to submit a business plan for the commercialization of the technology prior to licensee(s) selection and negotiations. Please send letters of interest to the attention of the POC identified within this Notice. technology@pnl.gov Click here to send an e-mail to a Commercialization Manager at the PNNL Technology Commercialization Office. Please include the above SOL (Solicitation No.) in your reply.
