- Description
- TECHNOLOGY/BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY - Mercury Abatement Fixative THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT BA-839 Idaho National Laboratory (INL), operated by the Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA) under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to license, further develop, and commercialize a unique method to remove mercury vapor from a selected environment. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. INL may also be available to assist in further research and development of this technology under a sponsored research agreement. Potential Applications: This novel technology has been developed primarily for the removal of mercury vapor using new and unique chemistry. This technology may be used in the clean-up of contaminated sites or possibly in the processing of spent compact fluorescent bulbs Benefits: This promising technology will potentially: •Allow for safer processes and work conditions •Provide higher quality mercury vapor removal •Provide an easier method for mercury vapor removal •Expedite hazardous material clean-up •Reduce costs of environmental clean-up Development Status This technology has been tested on the bench scale. Additional development will be required to demonstrate a pilot scale process. Intellectual Property: U.S. Patent Application is being explored. Foreign patent protection may be available. Commercial Opportunity: INL is seeking industry partners to continue to develop and commercialize this unique technology. The ideal partner would have some or all of the following capabilities either independently or through teaming arrangements with third parties: •experience in the manufacture of chemical treatment products and/or equipment for the processing of such chemicals •experience in the development and commercialization of new of hazardous material treatment technologies •financial resources sufficient to make an investment in the development of a commercial chemical manufacturing process •an interest in performing and funding cooperative research at INL if necessary •substantial manufacturing and research operations in the United States Companies interested in commercializing this technology should provide a written statement of interest by e-mail to the Commercialization Manager (below) no later than 30 days from the publication date of this notice.
