Develop fundamental surface science characterization data for use in improving mixed alcohol synthesis catalysts via Computational Investigation of Ethanol Synthesis from Biomass-derived Syngas Using Rh-based Catalysts

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Shawn Kathmann
Project type
Exploratory Research
Novel catalyst design is essential and combined experimental and theoretical/computational catalysis can provide the essential mechanisms, influence of promoters, energetics, selectivity, and…

Characterization of Ore Components

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Theva Thevuthasan
Rocks pieces, ground rocks and moss with sand need to be assayed using particle induced x-ray emission, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The elements in these…

Nanoparticles-Based Biosensors for Detection of Environmental Biomarkers

Lead Institution
Washington State University
Principal Investigator
Yuehe Lin
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Human exposure to toxic chemical agents (i.e. pesticides, nerve agents) and infectious agents, such as pathogens, may have some immune response, which is composed of both cellular and acellular…

Detailed Characterization of Arsenic Adsorptive Media

Lead Institution
Battelle Columbus
Principal Investigator
Daniel Kremser
Project type
Exploratory Research
Adsorptive media are being evaluated and demonstrated by the U.S.EPA for their effectiveness for arsenic removal from small drinking water supplies. Data collected from an EPA-funded, multi-column…

MgO-based double salt absorbent for warm temperature CO2 capture

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
David King
CO2 absorbent development also has gained attention for syngas clean up from fossil fuel power plants, and other industrial areas which produce a highly concentrated stream of CO2 as a byproduct,…
