Alpha DaRT™ (Diffusing alpha-emitters radiation therapy) cancer treatment

Description

Alpha DaRT is a novel radiation technology that can treat recurrent, metastatic, and locally advanced cancers. What makes this new therapy unique among radiation therapies is that, for the first time, it employs alpha particles for treatment of solid tumors. Alpha DaRT treatment consists of intratumorally-inserted radionuclides that emit alpha particles which kill tumor cells, sparing healthy cells nearby. In comparison to existing radiation therapies, it is highly effective, safe, and tolerable for patients. Alpha DaRT can potentially fill a huge unmet need for treatment of advanced cancers that are resistant or have become refractory to prior conventional therapies such as X-rays and chemotherapy, and when surgery is not an option.

The Air Disinfection and Purification Solution Based on CKER (Coronavirus Killer) System and Its Application

Description

A novel air disinfection and purification system called CKER (Coronavirus Killer) was developed at the crucial moment of global epidemic prevention and control. The CKER system was based on three Gree patented core technologies, namely the high efficiency trap technology based on the combination of high density plasma and HEPA, the accurate temperature control technology based on target temperature of virus inactivation and the rapid purification method of space airflow organization.

The CKER system has already been applied in our novel antivirus air purifier, which was developed epically to kill the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The test results of the third-party authority showed that the antivirus air purifier using CKER system can rapidly reduce the fine particulate matter and eliminate a range of harmful pathogens. Moreover, the field test report from Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences clearly proved that the inactivation rate of SARS-CoV-2 is higher than 99% after one hour operation.

Up to now, the products have been exported to more than 50 countries and regions around the world, the sales of the products have reached more than USD 156.7 million, adding USD 24.1 million in profits and USD 11 million in taxes.

Wealth from Waste: Dead Batteries To Pigments - Cobalt aluminate

Description

A mission towards Sustainability brought focus on converting hazardous metal extracted from waste Li-ion batteries into a value added chemistry that also reduces impact of mining and ecological damage. The product, cobalt aluminate pigment was successfully synthesized utilizing recovered cobalt and a major part of the aluminium raw material from recycled sources (spent Li-ion batteries). The pigment’s desirable total solar reflectance properties are at par with that made from virgin raw materials. A good Total solar reflectance (TSR) value of pigments is desirable to keep inner temperature of buildings lower, reducing air-conditioning costs and contributing to lower carbon footprint.
