 rms.office.com/r/yvfHarZj4q\n\nAS HUMAN POPULATIONS AND ECONOMIES GROW\, i
 t becomes ever more important to obtain vital resources sustainably in ord
 er to reduce energy use\, minimize pollution\, and avoid shortages. At the
  same time\, common waste products have the potential to be sources of the
 se valuable materials. Join MIAM in welcoming Audrey Moores (91˿����Ƶ Chemis
 try) and Sidney Omelon (91˿����Ƶ Mining & Materials Engineering) as they dis
 cuss how this can work in practice\, whether it is turning the chitlin in 
 crustacean shells into biodegradable plastics or “recycling P from pee” – 
 that is\, recovering the element phosphorus\, a key input to agriculture a
 nd industry\, from biowaste.\n\nAUDREY MOORES focuses on different aspects
  of green chemistry in her research\, such as catalysis and biobased mater
 ials. In particular\, she worked on the use of iron and iron oxide nanopar
 ticles as catalysts or magnetically recyclable supports for hydrogenation 
 and oxidation reactions. Since 2018\, she has received national media cove
 rage for working on transforming shrimp shell waste into biodegradable pla
 stics.\n\nSIDNEY OMELON works to improve our civilization’s sustainability
  by designing new processes to recover waster materials for reuse. She inv
 estigates and tests low temperature\, low pressure processes to convert wa
 ste to valuable materials\, and – as in the case of phosphorus fertilizer\
 , whose production is currently unsustainable – to create loops to recover
  and reuse critical nutrients. Her research group also focuses on crystall
 ization\, vertebrate biomineralization\, and carbonate chemistry.\n\nThe e
 vent will be moderated by MIAM Co-Director and 91˿����Ƶ Professor of Chemist
 ry MATTHEW HARRINGTON.\n
