AS HUMAN POPULATIONS AND ECONOMIES GROW, it becomes ever more important to obtain vital resources sustainably in order to reduce energy use, minimize pollution, and avoid shortages. At the same time, common waste products have the potential to be sources of these valuable materials. Join MIAM in welcoming Audrey Moores (秀色直播 Chemistry) and Sidney Omelon (秀色直播 Mining & Materials Engineering) as they discuss how this can work in practice, whether it is turning the chitlin in crustacean shells into biodegradable plastics or 鈥渞ecycling P from pee鈥� 鈥� that is, recovering the element phosphorus, a key input to agriculture and industry, from biowaste.

AUDREY MOORES听focuses on different aspects of green chemistry in her research, such as catalysis and biobased materials. In particular, she worked on the use of iron and iron oxide nanoparticles as catalysts or magnetically recyclable supports for听听and oxidation reactions.听Since 2018, she has received national media coverage for working on transforming shrimp shell waste into biodegradable plastics.

SIDNEY OMELON听works to improve our civilization鈥檚 sustainability by designing new processes to recover waster materials for reuse. She investigates and tests low temperature, low pressure processes to convert waste to valuable materials, and 鈥� as in the case of phosphorus fertilizer, whose production is currently unsustainable 鈥� to create loops to recover and reuse critical nutrients. Her research group also focuses on crystallization, vertebrate biomineralization, and carbonate chemistry.

The event will be moderated by MIAM Co-Director and 秀色直播 Professor of Chemistry听MATTHEW HARRINGTON.
