| 20120118823 | ORGANOSILICATE BASED FILTRATION SYSTEM - Organosilicate compositions of variable charges, hydrophobicity, and porosity, and in particular organosilicate-based molecular filtration devices are disclosed. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20110289827 | Process for the Dissolution of Coal, Biomass and Other Organic Solids in Superheated Water - A process of solubilizing organic solids that includes reacting an organic solid with an oxidant in superheated water to form a solubilized organic solute. Preferably, the organic solid is selected from the group consisting of coal, lignite, kerogen, biomass, solid organic wastes, and mixtures thereof. The oxidant preferably is molecular oxygen. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110190506 | NANO-REAGENTS WITH COOPERATIVE CATALYSIS AND THEIR USES IN MULTIPLE PHASE REACTIONS - Nano-reagents with catalytic activity are provided herein. The nanocatalyst comprises at least one amino acid attached to a nanoparticle, wherein the reactive side chain of the amino acid catalyzes a chemical or biological reaction. Methods of using these nano-reagents to catalyze reactions in solution or in multiple phases are also provided, as are methods of making these nanocatalysts. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110139622 | METHOD OF DETECTING ANALYTE-BIOMOLECULE INTERACTIONS - The invention provides methods for detecting an interaction between an analyte and a biomolecule. The method comprises separating at least one biomolecule according to its isoelectric point in the presence of a given analyte and detecting an interaction between the analyte and a biomolecule using fluorescence anisotropy. The method may further comprise collecting the analyte-biomolecule complex and analyzing the biomolecule. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20100223693 | METHODS OF USING PLANTS CONTAINING THE GDHA GENE - Disclosed are new effects of increased gdhA gene expression on plants that are susceptible to | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100130763 | PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FATTY ACID ALKYL ESTERS - The present invention provides processes for the formation of fatty acid alkyl esters, which may be used as biodiesel. In particular, the invention provides an esterification process in which a lipid material is contacted with an alcohol in the presence of a metal halide or metal alkoxide conjugated to a solid support. Also provided is a transesterification process in which a lipid material is contacted with an alcohol in the presence of an N-heterocyclic carbene. Also provided is a combination esterification and transesterification process in which a lipid material is contacted with a metal halide or metal alkoxide conjugated to a solid support, and then is contacted with an N-heterocyclic carbene or an alkaline catalyst. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20080289248 | IMMOBILIZED ESTERIFICATION CATALYSTS FOR PRODUCING FATTY ACID ALKYL ESTERS - Provided herein are processes for the production of biodiesel. In particular, provided is an esterification process in which an alcohol reacts with free fatty acids in a lipid material comprising free fatty acids and glycerides in the presence of an immobilized zirconium(IV) metal salt to form fatty acid alkyl esters. Also provided is combination process in which an esterification reaction converts the free fatty acids in a lipid material to fatty acid alkyl esters and a transesterification reaction converts the glycerides in the material to fatty acid alkyl esters. | 11-27-2008 |
