SBIR PHASE II: Novel Ambient Temperature Emissions Control Catalyst

这个小型企业创新研究的第二期项目是完成一种用于环境温度下污染控制的新型催化技术的商业化研发。该新技术将使用高活性的新型杂多型金属氧酸盐（HPOM）催化剂进行低温氧化，从而破坏挥发性有机化合物。这种新型催化剂比传统的铂氧化催化剂活性更高。第二阶段催化剂将为科学研究和教育提供新的途径，通过研究在不同地理位置的先进仪器所需的温和条件下的催化作用，并将其应用于燃料电池、费托合成等其他社会需求。商业应用将提供高效、低成本的工业排放控制和改善室内空气质量。该公司的研究设施和先前SBIR许可的成功将促进快速部署。该计划应该保护国家的环境，提高经济竞争力。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project is to complete the R&D to commercialize a novel catalytic technology for pollution control at ambient temperature. The novel technology will destroy VOCs using low temperature oxidation with a highly active class of novel Heteropoly Oxometalate (HPOM) catalysts. This new class of catalysts is dramatically more active than traditional platinum oxidation catalysts. The Phase II catalyst will provide new avenues for scientific research and education, by studying catalysis at mild conditions needed for advanced instrumentation at diverse geographic locations, and by expanding the applications to other societal needs in fuel cells, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, etc. Commercial applications will provide efficient, low cost industrial emissions control and enhanced indoor air quality. The firm's research facilities and prior SBIR licensing success will facilitate rapid deployment. The program should protect the nation's environment and improve economic competitiveness.
