Publication number: 20130180914Abstract: In situ formation of U(VI)-Fe(III) oxides and hydroxides can provide effective uranium remediation. The reason for this is that such compounds can effectively sequester uranium, even in the (VI) oxidation state. Such compounds can be formed in situ by 1) providing Fe(II), 2) reducing uranium to U(IV), and 3) oxidizing the resulting mixture to provide the desired U(VI)-Fe(III) oxides and hydroxides.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2012Publication date: July 18, 2013Inventors: Wei-Min Wu, Xin Du, Craig S. Criddle

Publication number: 20130071890Abstract: Methods for producing bioplastics from biogas include techniques for the production of PHB using a dirty biogas (e.g., methane from landfill, digester) as both a power source for the process and as feedstock. Biogas is split into two streams, one for energy to drive the process, another as feedstock. Advantageously, the techniques may be implemented off the power grid with no dependence upon agricultural products for feedstock.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2012Publication date: March 21, 2013Inventors: Craig S. Criddle, John R. Hart, Wei-Min Wu, Eric R. Sundstrom, Margaret C. Morse, Sarah L. Billington, Katherine H. Rostkowski, Curtis W. Frank

Publication number: 20120028321Abstract: Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) is performed by delivering substrates such as methane in gas phase during a high solids fermentation. Microorganisms are grown under balanced conditions, then gas phase substrates are delivered under unbalanced conditions to produce PHA granules inside the cells. The cells containing these granules are lysed and the bioplastic powder recovered. The balanced phase growth may occur in submerged liquid cultures or attached as biofilms to a surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2010Publication date: February 2, 2012Inventors: Craig S.
