Significant Industrial/Govt Activities Relating To Separation and Detoxification Technologies on Water/Wastewater Treatment, and other areas • Joint membrane development work with Sepro Membranes (currently Nanostone Water Co), Oceanside, CA
and synthesized positively-charge nanofiltration membranes, selective NF membranes, and functionalized microfiltration membranes in Full-Scale (Nov, 2012-present)
• Developed selective functionalized membrane technology to obtain a target protein (biotin-specific) at very high purity from a mixture of unwanted proteins (joint NIH funded work with University Medical School and Dr. A. Nath)
• Pioneered the development of direct “Green Synthesis” of iron nanoparticles in membranes for water detoxification.
• Worked with Huber Corporation in the area functionalized silica material and mixed matrix membrane development for mercury and silver capture
• Helped GalxoSmithKline corporation (though collaborative work) with pharmaceutical wastewater treatment problems (solvent separation from water, organic loading for biological waste treatment plant, etc.) by the use of nanofiltration and new types of pervaporation membranes
• Developed the application of free radical reaction (chelated Fenton Reaction for near neutral pH operation) for groundwater remediation involving TCE and other dilute chlorinated organics; has completed pilot plant evaluation at site, Dow Chemical; potential full-scale remediation with this technology.
