Title: Electrodeionization technology to reduce cost to process biomass-based chemicals, fuels and treat water

Argonne National Laboratory and Nalco Company, with headquarters in Naperville, Ill., have reached a licensing agreement for an electrodeionization technology to reduce the cost of technology that can process biomass-based feedstocks into biofuels and chemicals. Specifically, Argonne's patented technology allows for the deionizing or the continuous removal of charged products like organic acids from aqueous streams and eliminates the requirement to continuously add neutralizing agents. Conventional bioprocessing technologies require significant capital expenditures on energy-intensive steps to recover these products and generate large waste streams.
