    The Global Environment Centre Foundation (GEC) is an entity that supports the UNEP’s International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC), based in Japan. GEC is dedicated to the transfer of environmentally sound technologies, in both developing countries and countries with economies in transition. The foundation aims to contribute to Japan’s international efforts on the environment, sharing project collaborations as well as promoting Japan’s rich conservation knowledge and experience in developing nations.

  • Small Volume Organic Oils transported by air stream for cooling/lubricating in machining processes

    Type: 
    Product

    The present invention relates to a nozzle for use in a metalworking process whereby the nozzle is designed to precisely deliver an oil-containing liquid and non-flammable gas mixture onto the interface between a metalworking tool and a workpiece whereby the nozzle is comprised of a tip and a valve body affixed to one another. Furthermore the present invention relates to a method for cooling and lubricating a tool and workpiece during a metalworking process. It is well known that fluids in machining operations serve two purposes: heat transfer and lubrication.

  • Exhaust Gas Purification Catalysts and Methods of Making the Same

    Type: 
    Product

    Project ID: D2009-44 Background: Exhaust streams generated by the combustion of fossil fuels contain different types of pollutants such as carbon monoxide oxides of sulfur and nitrogen unburned hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds oxides. While there are different catalytic devices and methods to treat exhaust streams it is difficult to remove certain pollutants found within those streams. The rate of conversion of the pollutants often depends upon the exhaust gas temperatures. There is an initial time period between when exhaust emissions begin (i.e.

  • Purification of Gas with Liquid Ionic Compounds

    Type: 
    Product

    Researchers at Notre Dame pioneered the use of ionic liquids for use in gas separation. And this work continues today with an eye towards applications in natural gas purification effluent treatment pre-combustion separations supported liquid membranes and gas drying.

  • Synthetic Mineral Microparticles For Retention Aid Systems

    Type: 
    Product

    Summary: Metallic microparticles are used to improve the rate of retention of fine materials and enhance the rate of drainage of water during the paper making process. A method for the production of synthetic mineral particles by admixing soluble metal salt and one or more compounds is described. For example this method can be used to produce silicate by the reaction of a meta-silicate with metal salt. Furthermore these particles produced provide a system of agglomeration useful in water treatment.

  • Improved Optical Waveguide

    Type: 
    Product
    Technology:

    Background: An optical waveguide is a structure that guides electromagnetic waves in the optical spectrum. Optical waveguides commonly are used to support and illuminate photocatalysts; for example they could be used in remediating effluent waste streams by photocatalytic oxidation or photooxidation. Transition metal oxides such as titanium dioxide are effective photocatalysts.
