Staff Accomplishments
FLC Award Goes to PNNL Team for SAMMS Technology
Congratulations to ETD's Shas Mattigod, James Toth, Shane Addleman and Rick Skaggs, ESTD's Glenn Fryxell, NSD's Tom Zemanian and CPD's Eric Lund on receiving a 2006 Federal Laboratory Consortium Award for SAMMS, self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous support. This technology can be tailored to selectively remove metal contaminants without creating hazardous waste. It offers huge savings to users faced with costly disposal requirements. A licensing agreement was established with Steward Advanced Materials for use in stack emission coal fired power plants, municipal incinerators and other similar plants.
The FLC award is given for outstanding work in transferring technology from a federal laboratory to the marketplace.
