• Patents for licensing

The University Institute of Materials of the University of Alicante has developed an ingenious electrochemical reactor that allows the regeneration of spent activated carbon from different industries with an efficiency between 90-100% quickly, selectively, very economically and in the same facilities where the spent activated carbon is located. Moreover, it is an environmentally friendly technology. This new reactor has two possible configurations and is very versatile, since it allows the regeneration of more than 100 kg. of activated carbon saturated with pollutants from different industries, such as: wastewater treatment, water purification, gas and liquid purification, metal recovery, food and beverage production, chemical and pharmaceutical industry, etc. It is looking for companies interested in acquiring this technology for its commercial exploitation through patent license agreements.

• Patents for licensing

University of Ljubljana has repurposed Nitroxolin for the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by coronaviruses, in particular SARS-CoV-2. A significant advantage of nitroxoline over other candidate drugs for the treatment of covid-19 (repurposing drugs – amantadine, teicoplanin) is that the mechanism of action on the target has been extensively investigated. Our process can additionally generate a variety of compounds with improved antiviral activity.

• Investment Opportunities in Startups and Spinoffs

LSF is a Chemtech business based in Amersham, UK, with extensive industry experience. A B2B operation, generating revenue from customers Proof of Concept (PoC) testing and a roadmap to deliver the first demonstrator facility. The LSF process accepts used solid or liquid, hydrocarbon-containing, feedstock materials. The process gasifies the feedstock and then using a liquid electrolyte, oxidation and saturation reactions are initiated. These reactions produce a recovered, saturated condensate and a solid, raw Carbon Black output. LSF's recovered condensate is of a higher quality and has far lower contaminants than its competitors and the rCB has been tested as suitable for vehicle and industrial rubber components. LSF has patented the core technology and the novel application of electrochemical processing of hydrocarbon-containing feedstocks. UK & US patents granted with EU patent expected to be granted in Q1, 24.
