The projects listed below are joint-product-development efforts that involve scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and sales-and-marketing personnel from universities, federal and private laboratories, and major industries. Our purpose is to commercialize the technologies. The following projects are those that ChK Group, Inc., is currently conducting:

• Research on Fiedel-craft reactions and strong Lewis acids
• Biosilica-blended cement for high-performance concrete (HPC)
• Filters for the removal of As(III) and As(V) from contaminated drinking water
• The slow release and multi-nutrient plant growth medium for urban horticulture, golf green constructions, and space applications
• Flame-retardant fabrics
• The applications of nano-carbonate treatment in acid mine water applications.
• The stabilization and applications of violet-colored nanophase manganese oxide in natural and synthetic solid supports and fabrics, including the following:
  • The easy and rapid synthesis of disulfide using different thiols
  • The odor control of N- and S-based compounds
  • Mouthwash
  • The degradation of chemical- and biological-warfare agents
  • Biocide and algaecide with and without fabrics
  • The degradation of quaternary ammonium compounds
  • Fabric metal polish
  • Smart chemical sensors
• A fundamental understanding of soil-heaving mechanisms and the prevention of soil-heaving
• The manufacture of zeolites from industrial and agricultural wastes
