There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The Georgia Tech Research Corporation has received a $413,072 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)to develop a novel class of solvents to capture CO2 from coal-fired power plant flue gas. Dr. Charles Liotta and Dr. Charles Eckert will lead the research project which will focus on the synthesis, characterization and testing of novel reversible ionic liquids and then use structure/property relationships to optimize their physical and thermodynamic properties for CO2 capture. The project at Georgia Tech represents one of 15 funded by DOE totaling $36 million aimed at developing new and cost-effective technologies for carbon dioxide capture from the existing fleet of coal-fired power plants.
