Fred
Martin, PhD.
Dr. Martin first specialized in membrane technology
using cellulose acetate membranes for reverse osmosis
for the purification of brackish water. Subsequently,
he conducted studies using reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration
membranes for such diverse purposes as hemodialysis
to the concentration of various food products such as
tomato juice, orange juice, and whole milk.
With this background, Dr. Martin was able to develop
a polysulfone membrane capable for processing caustic
extracts of lignin and silica obtained from rice straw
by which the sodium silicate passed through the membrane
while the lignin was concentrated. This technology combined
with known technologies for the conversion of low molecular
sugars and of cellulose to ethyl alcohol led to the
publication of U.S. Patent 5,735,916 with Mr. James
Lucas.
Dr. Martin received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from
the University of Missouri at Columbia. |
