A -- BIOLOGICAL SEPARATION OF PHOSPHATE FROM ORE Contact Mr. Ron Bopp. Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies (LMIT), P.O. Box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3805; a management and operating contractor for the Department of Energy at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) is seeking research partners to perform cooperative research with LMIT. LMIT has developed and patented a bioprocess for the separation of phosphate from its rock. This process has the potential of supplementing or replacing current phosphate production processes by providing lower production cost while decreasing undesirable waste products. LMIT is seeking partners who are currently producing products directly from phosphate ores (e.g. phosphate ore, chemical or food grade phosphorus) who would scale the bioprocess to pilot production. The process can be used in a continuous extraction of phosphate rock when applied to soil or in bead form to accommodate the needs of phosphate fertilizer application. Participants must provide evidence of organizational structure and financial resources necessary to commercialize transferred technology. This is not a solicitation for government contract. This request for interest will close to response 21 days after publication. Send required information to: Mr. Ron Bopp, Technology Transfer Office, LMIT, P.O. Box 1625, 2525 N. Fremont, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3805. (018)
