News from CLQ: Quarterly Activities Report – June 2017


Clean TeQ has a partnership with Ionic Industries Ltd for the development and
commercialisation of graphene-oxide based water filtration technologies. Ionic is a
commercialisation partner of Monash University and has secured a licence from Monash for
intellectual property relating to a range of graphene oxide based technologies.
Graphene oxide (GO) is regarded as a highly versatile industrial material with its ability to form
super-strong ultra-thin 2-D matrices. Researchers at Monash University have developed a
method of producing GO which is suitable for the production of water and wastewater filtration
products. The method has the potential to be readily and economically scaled to meet
commercial needs.
The partnership is consistent with Clean TeQ’s strategy of developing and acquiring
complementary intellectual property in order to broaden and enhance the core Clean TeQ
technology. Many of the technologies under development have significant potential in some of
the world’s largest water markets – such as China and the Middle East – where increasingly
stringent water discharge requirements can no longer be met by conventional technologies or
systems.
Clean TeQ has commenced a range of preliminary investigations and testwork at Monash
University and at our Notting Hill laboratory into potential new applications for the GO
technology.
