“Long-Term Continuous Co-reduction of 1,1,1-Trichloroethane and Trichloroethene over Palladium Nanoparticles Spontaneously Deposited on H2-Transfer Membranes”
New research by the Rittmann and Chen Zhou Labs were just published in the Environmental Science and Technology issue on ACS Publications. This research talks in depth about understudied chemicals and their co-reduction using catalysts. You can check out the cover and issue here and then the full article here!
Biodesign Research Implemented at Precient Technologies
The Rittmann and Zhou Labs, within the Biodesign Swette Center for Environmental Biotechnology (BSCEB), have done some amazing research focused on removing wasteful substances and metals from contaminated water. This remarkable research is being implemented at the spin-off company, Precient Technologies, http://precienttechnologies.com/ http://precienttechnologies.com/ You can view a video about how Precient Technologies is implementing BSCEB’s… Continue reading Biodesign Research Implemented at Precient Technologies
Biodesign Chalk Talks
What is the purpose of the faculty Chalk Talk workshops? The Chalk Talks have two purposes. One is to make it easy for Biodesign faculty to learn about their colleagues and the colleagues’ research. Biodesign is very diverse, and we need to enable cross-center and cross-disciplinary communication. The Chalk Talks are key to achieving that goal. … Continue reading Biodesign Chalk Talks
