Recycling polyolefin materials is challenging. One waste management strategy is plastic upcycling. New work demonstrates a single-step upcycling route coupling cracking and alkylation, recycling carbon and keeping valuable resources active.
A PNNL study developed a water management module for Xanthos that distinguishes between the operational characteristics of hydropower, irrigation, and flood control reservoirs.
PNNL is honoring its postdoctoral researchers as part of the fourteenth annual National Postdoc Appreciation Week with seven profiles of postdocs from around the Laboratory.
A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.
Report for the Oregon Public Utility Commission highlights innovations and best practices for resilience and utility planning could be helpful to other states as well.
