Gritty Research Leads Scientists To Metal-Loving Discovery

conditions, researchers found that the bound metal contaminants remain in the solid and do not leach into solution.

Presently, Pacific Northwest is gathering data on the commercialization potential of SAMMS. "We're trying to make sure that the technical and economic issues associated with getting the technology into the marketplace are being addressed," Lombardo said. Current research is evaluating the performance of SAMMS in different forms (dispersed powders, solid pellets, membranes or filters) to determine the effectiveness of each material for a given application. "Companies such as Mobil and 3M are working on the engineered form of the material with us," Lombardo added.

Liu points out that the laboratory is one of many research organizations exploring and advancing the integration of mesoporous ceramics and functional monolayers. This discipline also is being pursued actively within DOE's Center of Excellence for Synthesis and Processing of Advanced Materials, a collaborative, multi-laboratory effort.

SAMMS was named by R&D magazine as one of the 100 most significant innovations of 1997, and was a finalist for the 1998 Discover magazine Award for Technological Innovation.
