Synthesis of Spherical Carbonaceous Particles via Spray Drying from Coal-Based Precursors for Energy
A process has been developed to convert coal, or waste streams from coal processing (e.g., coal refuse) into graphite for use as anode in lithium-ion batteries.
Method for separating bulky solids from powders in an automated fashion. Powders are particularly challenging to work with in an automated workflow employing robots for chemical manipulation.
Standard stages for X-ray diffraction are designed to carry holders that are relatively large. This imposes a significant space constraint that can reduce the number of samples analyzed.
2,3-butanediol (BDO) is a chemical compound with many industrial uses, including as a biofuel precursor and an additive to aviation fuel. 2,3-BDO can be produced from biomass, making it a more sustainable fuel source, but it must be separated and purified before utilization.
Demand for lithium is expected to increase drastically due to the use of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in portable electronics and electric vehicles. An efficient method to extract lithium is necessary to help meet this demand.
Most plastic is discarded after a single use, with about 76 percent of plastic waste discarded into landfills annually. The current practice is wasting feedstock resources, energy, and carbon used for their production.
