Available Technologies by Category
Vapor Modification Method for Wood Product Preservation	Water repellant: Manages moisture content by facilitating deep penetration and coating of metal oxide throughout the wood structure Fungal resistant: Withstands mold growth in humid and moist environments Thermally insulating: Reduces thermal bridging in wood studs used in building materials	8391
Recovery Strategy for Carbon Dioxide and Solvents	High quality - superior quality lignin produced that is sufficient for chemicals, pulp, and paper Useful - aids in isolating lignin and recovering and concentrating carbon dioxide	8234
Field Measurement of Gas Fluxes Using a Non-Gradient Method	Costs: lower equipment and operation cost without compromising measurement accuracy Efficiency: efficient modeling gas fluxes at diurnal and seasonal scales Applicability: natural and pollutant gases over all types of land surfaces.	7990
Alternative Methods for Producing Fixed Nitrogen	Increased efficiency - directly oxidizes nitrogen to create nitric acid Sustainable practice - less energy-intensive process than existing practices Cost saving – elimination of heat and pressure during production	7924
Method for Measuring Quality of Dielectric Liquids	Broad applications — can be used for any system that uses weakly-electrolytic fluid Low cost — more accurate results prevent premature fluid changes Efficient — highly sensitive measurements in very short time periods	3900
Oxyfuel Combustor Arrangements to Reduce Emissions	Reduce carbon dioxide emissions Reduce costs Improves power production and fuel efficiency	4897
Using Capillary Foams to Recover Spilled Oil	Improved performance- better solution over existing enhanced oil recovery mobility-control methods Effective- efficient capture of the spilled oil Low-cost- affordable materials	7102, 6941
Water Waste Removal using Magnetic Nanoparticles	Fast - The adsorption process only takes 30 minutes, and the treatment process only requires one step (i.e. no filtration). Economical - The method of preparing the magnetized nanoparticles is simple and cost-effective. Furthermore, a given batch of nanoparticles can be reused more than 20 times, with a 90% recovery rate. Green - This does not introduce harmful chemicals, and enables the recovery and recycling of phosphorous.	6869
CECICS - Water Disinfection Device	Low cost - $0.10 per cubic meter of water treated Low health risk Low energy consumption	7981
Methods of Recycling and Replacing Lithium Ion Batteries	Low cost – low energy use compared to other methods Environmentally friendly – low emissions High purity – accurate separation of high value metals from other components	7892, 7941
Coating and Scaling of Material Stripes and Patterns	Exceptional flexibility with respect to material selection Highly scalable	7749
Smart Test Strip Enabled by Inkjet Printed Microfluids	Cost effective manufacturing approach Eco Friendly Light-weight	7505
Improved Liquid Sanitization Cyclic Filtration System	Biological, chemical, and physical contaminants are extracted from liquids and discharged as separated waste while the system is in operation Extracted contaminates are continually flushed from the system to reduce residue accumulation on the filtration membranes Self-cleaning filter design allows the system to operate more efficiently than traditional water filtration methods	6000
