Propane Reforming Process Development

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Robert Dagle
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The proposed project is to investigate the conversion of propane to a hydrogen-rich reformate stream for commercially-deployed portable fuel cell applications. Most of these applications occur in…

Blanca Lupiani's Proposal

Lead Institution
Texas A&M University
Principal Investigator
Blanca Lupiani
Project type
Exploratory Research
Avian influenza (AI) is a major respiratory disease of poultry that has the potential to cause catastrophic losses to the commercial poultry industry worldwide. In addition, AI viruses can be…

Semi-Rigid Block Copolymer

Lead Institution
Washington State University
Principal Investigator
Alexander Li
Project type
Exploratory Research
In this project, we explore new concepts in nanoscience and nanotechnology: self-organization of semi-rigid block copolymers. Our hypothesis is that properly designed polymers can self-organize into…

Proteomic Analysis of the Filamentous Fungus: Aspergillus fumigatus

Lead Institution
Tulane University
Principal Investigator
Joan Bennett
Project type
Exploratory Research
Fungi, with the possible exception of yeast, are less well studied than other microbes. One objective of this proposal is to generate a unique proteome database for a filamentous fungus directly…

Single Particle Studies of Heterogeneous Atmospheric Chemistry

Lead Institution
University of Iowa
Principal Investigator
Vicki Grassian
Project type
Exploratory Research
It is becoming increasingly clear that heterogeneous processes involving particulate matter in the atmosphere can greatly perturb the chemical composition of both the troposphere and the stratosphere…

Maria Salazar-villalpando's Proposal

Lead Institution
National Energy Technology Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Maria Salazar-villalpando
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Understanding the reaction mechanism of carbon formation is required in order to find solutions to avoid catalyst deactivation during the partial oxidation methane for syngas (H2 and CO) generation,…
