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.

Recovery Simulator and Analysis tool further strengthens PNNL’s short-term resilience planning efforts for Puerto Rico.

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.

Research published in Journal of Manufacturing Processes demonstrates innovative single-step method to manufacture oxide dispersion strengthened copper materials from powder.

Multidisciplinary teams from research and industry are brought together using management systems developed by a team of software engineers at PNNL.
