68 -- CHEMICAL MODIFICATION OF HIGH SURFACE AREA CERAMICS SOL KAW01 DUE 083100 POC Kathleen A Whelan 509-375-4312 E-MAIL: Kathleen Whelan, kathy.whelan@pnl.gov. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle Memorial Institute, Pacific Northwest Division, for the U. S. Department of Energy, is seeking expressions of interest from commercial sources to functionalize ceramic mesoporous substrate materials for use in liquid separations. The funtionalization involves a solvent-based approach in which an organized assembly of organic molecules containing specific interfacial functional groups is attached to the surface of the mesopores material. Quantities to be functionalized may vary from 1 kg to 200 kg. Functionalization may involve powders 5 to 15 microns in diameter, or sphere-like particles ranging from 100 to 2000 microns. Anticipated period of performance is 12 to 24 months. The Request for Proposal (RFP) is anticipated to be issued in the October to November 2000 timeframe. Interested parties should provide a letter of interest and capabilities statement by August 31, 2000, to Kathleen Whelan by mail at PNNL, P. O. Box 999, MailstopK9-84, Richland, WA 99352; by facsimile to Facsimile No. (509) 372-4334; or by email to kathy.whelan@pnl.gov. Posted 08/03/00 (W-SN481765). (0216)
