Ruthenium is recovered from used nuclear fuel in an oxidizing environment by depositing the volatile RuO4 species onto a polymeric substrate.
This invention describes a new class of amphiphilic chelators (extractants) that can selectively separate large, light rare earth elements from heavy, small rare earth elements in solvent extraction schemes.
Among the methods for point source carbon capture, the absorption of CO2 using aqueous amines (namely MEA) from the post-combustion gas stream is currently considered the most promising.
A novel method that prevents detachment of an optical fiber from a metal/alloy tube and allows strain measurement up to higher temperatures, about 800 C has been developed. Standard commercial adhesives typically only survive up to about 400 C.
An electrochemical cell has been specifically designed to maximize CO2 release from the seawater while also not changing the pH of the seawater before returning to the sea.
The increasing demand for high-purity lanthanides, essential for advanced technologies such as electronics, renewable energy, and medical applications, presents a significant challenge due to their similar chemical properties.
The ORNL invention addresses the challenge of poor mechanical properties of dry processed electrodes, improves their electrical properties, while improving their electrochemical performance.
Test facilities to evaluate materials compatibility in hydrogen are abundant for high pressure and low temperature (<100C).
