Saint Mary's Scientists Sign License for Greener Future
Two Saint Mary's professors whose Green Chemistry breakthroughs have shown strong potential for industrial applications have signed a license agreement with GreenCentre Canada. The agreements with Dr. Robert Singer and Dr. Jason Clyburne will help them advance their ionic liquids research from laboratory prototypes to large scale pilot site testing. Dr. Singer's effort is focused on removing a wide variety of metals from wastewater using less energy and without the risk of releasing toxic chemicals in the process. Dr. Clyburne is working on ways of removing carbon dioxide from industrial gas emissions
