	Jun 28, 2010 VeruSOL Marine™ Submitted to National Contingency Plan for Gulf Cleanup Bloomfield, CT - VeruTEK Technologies, Inc., recently made the first submission from its VeruSOL® Marine product family to the National Contingency Plan for immediate use in addressing the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. VeruSOL® Marine products provide safer, faster, green solutions for not only dispersing but also greatly accelerating destruction of the oil to restore a clean environment. VeruSOL® Marine is an environmentally friendly dispersant derived from plant materials and contains no solvents, alcohols or ethers. Recently released aquatic toxicology results have proven the product's safety. VeruSOL® Marine treated areas are not harmful to workers or the local population. read full press release>>
	Jun 01, 2010 Hilltop Enterprises Inc. (West Chester, PA) recently secured its first project as a strategic partner for VeruTEK Technologies. Hilltop Enterprises Inc, a national, research-driven, soil remediation provider and brokerage company, operates its TEVET® thermal soil remediation system throughout the world, directly and through their venture partners. Hilltop became a VeruTEK partner in April 2010 and on May 27 secured its initial project utilizing VeruTEK technology. This contract calls for a Thermal Surfactant Enhanced Ex Situ Chemical Oxidation (Thermal S-ESCO) Laboratory Treatability and Optimization Study for impacted soil from a site in Pennsylvania. The contaminants of concern (COCs) for this treatability study are eight VOCs, two SVOCs, and three chlorinated pesticides. Three Thermal S-ESCO processes will be tested in this study: Thermal S-ESCO with persulfate, Thermal S-ESCO with persulfate/peroxide and Thermal SESCO with alkaline persulfate. The study will contain four phases - Characterization of representative site materials including site soil and DNAPL Thermal Desorption/solubilization enhancement of target COC's Dissolution/oxidation of COC's in the emulsion phase using Thermal S-ESCO Thermal S-ESCO batch soil tests with Summa Canister gas phase sampling

	Feb 11, 2010 Non-toxic "green" nanoparticles In vitro biocompatibility of nanoscale zerovalent iron particles (NZVI) synthesized using tea polyphenols Mallikarjuna N. Nadagouda, Alicia B. Castle, Richard C. Murdock, Saber M. Hussain and Rajender S. Varma A green protocol was used for the rapid generation of nanoscale zerovalent iron (NZVI) particles using tea polyphenols. The NZVI particles were subsequently examined for in vitro biocompatibility using the human keratinocyte cell (HaCaT) line as a representative skin exposure model. The cells were exposed to NZVI for time periods of 24 and 48 h. Biocompatibility was assessed using the methyl tetrazolium, or MTS, (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2 H-tetrazolium)) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays to determine in vitro cytotoxicity. The evaluation of mitochondrial function (MTS) and membrane integrity (LDH) in human keratinocytes showed that these green synthesized NZVI particles were nontoxic in the human keratinocytes exposed when compared with control samples synthesized using a borohydride protocol. In fact, in most cases, these green nanoparticles induced a prolific response in the cellular function even at the highest concentration (100g ml^-1). Click here to read more
	Feb 10, 2010 Varma Receives Visionary of the Year Award Dr. Raj Varma of NRMRL's Sustainable Technology Division was awarded the Green Technologies Visionary of the Year Award Oct. 14 at the Second Annual Green Technologies for the Environment Conference in Bloomfield, Conn. Varma received the award for developing new technology to generate zerovalent iron using tea polyphenals. Green technology company VeruTEK is currently exploring the commercialization of this technology with clients in the U.S. and worldwide for the remediation of pollutants such as halogenated materials. VeruTEK chief executive officer Dr. John Collins presented the award, noting that Varma's work will have profound effects on new efforts to clean up toxic materials in the environment.
