Low temperature hydrogen plasma permeation in palladium and its alloys for fuel recycling in fusion systems

Superpermeation of hydrogen isotopes through metal foils is a critical component for efficient fuel recycling in fusion power systems. In that context hydrogen permeation through foils of palladium and its alloys with silver and copper was studied at low temperature (60 - 200°C) under plasma exposure. These alloys differ significantly in both bulk and surface properties, and comparisons can provide mechanistic insights. Here, permeation was observed only during plasma operation, confirming the negligible contribution of molecular hydrogen to the observed flux. As-received foils required surface treatment to achieve top performance. For Pd and Pd75Ag25 an oxidation treatment increased permeation an order of magnitude, but proved unstable as this desirable surface was reduced under hydrogen plasma exposure. In contrast, an Ar plasma cleaning step provided both high and stable flux. As-received FCC phase Pd60Cu40 foils required annealing to transform it into the high permeability BCC phase that delivered top performance. All foils displayed similar temperature dependence with flux declining with temperature, suggesting that the primary rate-limiting step is absorption of superthermal hydrogen. Among these foils the hydrogen flux through PdCu was 3 - 5X greater than that of Pd or PdAg, which were similar. The superiority of BCC PdCu is attributed to its superior hydrogen desorption kinetics. Using PdCu 100% permeation of supplied hydrogen was achieved, and the flux saturated with increasing plasma power at values >10 –2 mol H•m –2 •s– 1 , and under these conditions permeation rates are equivalent with or without the membrane present. The fluxes achieved are the highest reported to date at these conditions, and the results highlight the important roles of both surface and bulk properties.

Effects of Copolymer Structure on Enzyme-Catalyzed Polyester Recycling

Polyesters are an omnipresent material used for a variety of applications (e.g., bottles, packaging, textile, windshield), roughly comprising 8% of plastics produced worldwide. Enzymatic recycling is an emerging solution to deal with the increasingly diverse polyesters that are not suitable for mechanical recycling. However, enzyme activity and efficiency are still the limiting factors impeding enzymatic recycling for different plastic waste forms. The effects of thermal and structural properties (e.g., glass transition temperature, crystallinity, specific surface area), which are determined by chemical composition and preprocessing, directly influence enzyme recycling efficiency. This work investigates two extrusion methods (single screw and twin-screw extrusion) to pretreat a range of copolyesters (RPET, PETG, Ecozen, Tritan and PBT) and modify their properties (i.e., glass transition temperature (T g ), crystallinity (%), and molecular weight (M n )). A PET-specific enzyme, leaf-branch compost cutinase (LCC ICCG ), produced from a fed-batch fermentation of Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), was used for the enzymatic depolymerization of different polyesters. Several copolyesters showed improved depolymerization after pretreatment, as measured by rate and amount of monomers produced. Furthermore, those that did not depolymerize were found to have exceptionally high glass transition temperature or percent crystallinity, highlighting the importance of these physical parameters on conversion efficiency.

Low temperature polyolefin deconstruction via tandem cracking-hydrogenation

The use of aluminum chloride in dichloromethane to crack polyolefin chains in tandem with alkylation of the resulting products has been previously reported as an efficient polyolefin recycling route. Building off this work, we report that a tandem cracking-hydrogenation system also efficiently converts polyolefins into gasoline-range light alkanes at mild temperatures without needing a hydrocarbon co-reactant. This Lewis acid and hydrogenation bifunctional system uses anhydrous aluminum chloride as the acid catalyst and Pd/C as a hydrogenation catalyst to achieve nearly 80 % conversion of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) at 70 °C in three hours, with 90+% selectivity towards gasoline-range (C 4 -C 12 ) branched alkanes. By combining the endothermic cracking reaction with the exothermic hydrogenation reaction, the thermodynamic limitations to low-temperature polyolefin deconstruction can be overcome. In using hydrogenation instead of alkylation, the system’s carbon efficiency is greatly improved, the cost of the reactants is reduced and the overall mass of both reactants and products reduced as well.

An industrial policy framework for transforming energy and emissions intensive industries towards zero emissions

The target of zero emissions sets a new standard for industry and industrial policy. Industrial policy in the twenty-first century must aim to achieve zero emissions in the energy and emissions intensive industries. Sectors such as steel, cement, and chemicals have so far largely been sheltered from the effects of climate policy. A major shift is needed, from contemporary industrial policy that mainly protects industry to policy strategies that transform the industry. For this purpose, we draw on a wide range of literatures including engineering, economics, policy, governance, and innovation studies to propose a comprehensive industrial policy framework. The policy framework relies on six pillars: directionality, knowledge creation and innovation, creating and reshaping markets, building capacity for governance and change, international coherence, and sensitivity to socio-economic implications of phase-outs. Complementary solutions relying on technological, organizational, and behavioural change must be pursued in parallel and throughout whole value chains. Current policy is limited to supporting mainly some options, e.g. energy efficiency and recycling, with some regions also adopting carbon pricing, although most often exempting the energy and emissions intensive industries. An extended range of options, such as demand management, materials efficiency, and electrification, must also be pursued to reach zero emissions. New policy research and evaluation approaches are needed to support and assess progress as these industries have hitherto largely been overlooked in domestic climate policy as well as international negotiations.

Recycling Epoxy by Vitrimerization: Influence of an Initial Thermoset Chemical Structure

Epoxy/anhydride cured thermosets are widely used in aerospace and wind energy structures. Recycling the enormous amounts of epoxy thermoset waste remains a global challenge. Vitrimerization, a practical, low-cost, eco-friendly and scalable method was developed for closed-loop recycling of the crosslinked epoxy by converting the permanent network into a vitrimer type dynamic network. Here we study the effect of virgin epoxy network properties on network reforming efficiency and the activation energy of the dynamic network by varying the epoxy/anhydride ratio. The results point out that the permanent network crosslink density and glass transition temperature have a more pronounced effect on vitrimerization efficiency by comparison with the concentration of free hydroxyl groups in the system. Furthermore, the result can be potentially used to better control vitrimerization efficiency in recycling epoxy thermoset polymers and tailor the vitrimerized products properties.

Complete the Design, Cost Estimate, Assembly Plan, and Operating Instructions for a Bench-Scale Packed-Bed Tubular Methanol Catalyst Testing System

This report details the design of a test stand that converts carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methanol via a two-step process. The first step is a reverse water-gas shift reaction, carried out at 600°C and 25 bar to reduce carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, and the second is a synthesis reaction that forms methanol at 260°C and 75 bar. The purpose of the system is to test catalysts for each of these steps. The test stand produces approximately 1.5 gallons of crude methanol (methanol mixed with water) per day, and recycles unreacted syngas for increased efficiency. At peak recycle, the stand is expected to consume 0.29 cylinders per day of carbon dioxide and 1.43 cylinders per day of hydrogen. It is planned to be built next to the Blue Star electrolysis unit in the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) and includes future plans of acquiring hydrogen from that stand rather than gas cylinders. At this phase of research, three key documents have been produced, as summarized in Table 1. These documents are primarily intended to describe the system and its operation, demonstrate that selected components are appropriate for the intended application, identify potential hazards, safeguards, and mitigation strategies, and ensure that the system is designed to appropriate standards. The body of the report and its appendices provide a narrative of the work completed in FY25. The parts required to build the test stand will be procured and assembled in FY26. Testing will be conducted in the final quarter.

Comparing Parallel Plastic‐to‐X Pathways and Their Role in a Circular Economy for PET Bottles

Abstract The United States generates the most plastic waste of any country and is a top contributor to global plastic pollution. Multiple end‐of‐life strategies must be implemented to minimize environmental impacts and retain valuable plastic material, but it is challenging to compare options that generate products with different lifetimes and utilities. Herein, they present a material flow model equipped with consequential life cycle assessment, cost analysis, and a plastic circularity indicator that considers product quality and lifetime. The model is used to estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, circularity, and cost of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle mechanical downcycling to lower‐quality resin, closed‐loop glycolysis to food‐grade PET, upcycling to glass fiber‐reinforced plastic, and conversion to non‐plastic products (electricity, oil) on a United States economy‐wide basis for the year 2020. A brute force algorithm suggests that a combination of 68% glycolysis, 11% mechanical recycling, 6% upcycling, 9% landfilling, and 5% incineration can minimize the cost and GHG emissions and maximize the circularity of the current PET economy. However, uncertainty around transportation distances, materials recovery facility efficiencies, and recycling yields can result in different “optimal” pathway mixes. This flexible framework enables informed decision‐making to move toward a cost‐ and environment‐conscious circular economy for plastic.

Global Regulations for Sustainable Battery Recycling: Challenges and Opportunities

With the rapid expansion of transportation electrification worldwide, the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) has increased dramatically, creating new and sustainable growth opportunities for the global economy. However, as the most expensive component of EVs, lithium-ion batteries pose significant sustainability challenges due to raw material consumption and supply chain constrains, as well as the complexities of end-of-life battery disposal and recycling. To address these concerns, many countries are actively establishing regulations to promote sustainable pathways for battery reuse and recycling. Despite these efforts, existing battery recycling regulations remain often inefficient and vary significantly across different countries in legal enforcement, producer responsibility, waste classification, recycling targets, design standards, public engagement, and financial incentives, particularly given the complexities of the global supply chain and resource distribution within the battery industry. Understanding these regulatory differences and establishing a unified framework are therefore crucial to ensuring sustainable and efficient battery recycling. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the necessity of establishing robust regulations for sustainable development of battery recycling industry. The evolution and refinement of battery recycling regulations are deeply reviewed to identifying persistent gaps and challenges in key countries. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges associated with regulatory enforcement and propose strategies for developing a more cohesive legislative framework to ensure the effective utilization of retired batteries.

Evaluating the Impact of Tritium Permeation Membrane Performance and Direct Internal Recycling on Fusion Fuel Cycle Efficiency Using TMAP8

An efficient fuel cycle is vital to sustainable and cost-effective energy generation in fusion systems. Since tritium is not widely available, fusion systems must breed their own tritium for sustainable fusion deuterium-tritium reactions. An inefficient fuel cycle increases the tritium inventory needed for operations, which increases costs, constraints on tritium management systems, and safety concerns. A fuel cycle model is a powerful tool for understanding tritium inventories and flow rates across all systems in the fuel cycle. By simplifying the technical details into time-dependent tritium flow rates and inventories, the model can simulate the entire fuel cycle with high computational efficiency, even for technologies that are still under development. It can therefore quantify the impact of new tritium management technologies on fuel cycle efficiency. To evaluate the impact of key components on reducing tritium inventory, we are using and expanding an existing fuel cycle models based on latest advancements in fuel cycle research. The new model integrates Tritium Permeation Membrane (TPM) and Direct Internal Recycling (DIR) to enhance tritium transport from blanket breeders and plasma exhaust. These fuel cycle models are implemented in TMAP8 (Tritium Migration Analysis Program, version 8), a MOOSE-based open-source application designed to provide cutting-edge capabilities for tritium transport and fuel cycle modeling. The study aims to demonstrate the extensibility of existing fuel cycle modeling capability in TMAP8 and to offer a proof-of-principle design for future fusion plant systems. The presentation will cover the performance of fuel cycle modeling capabilities available in TMAP8, highlight advancements in fuel cycle research, and present a sensitivity analysis of these models. The results underline potential approaches and technology solutions to lower tritium inventory requirements, highlighting their role in shaping the future of fusion energy.

Recycling of multilayer plastic packaging materials by solvent-targeted recovery and precipitation

Many plastic packaging materials manufactured today are composites made of distinct polymer layers (i.e., multilayer films). Billions of pounds of these multilayer films are produced annually, but manufacturing inefficiencies result in large, corresponding postindustrial waste streams. Although relatively clean (as opposed to municipal wastes) and of near-constant composition, no commercially practiced technologies exist to fully deconstruct postindustrial multilayer film wastes into pure, recyclable polymers. Here, we demonstrate a unique strategy we call solvent-targeted recovery and precipitation (STRAP) to deconstruct multilayer films into their constituent resins using a series of solvent washes that are guided by thermodynamic calculations of polymer solubility. We show that the STRAP process is able to separate three representative polymers (polyethylene, ethylene vinyl alcohol, and polyethylene terephthalate) from a commercially available multilayer film with nearly 100% material efficiency, affording recyclable resins that are cost-competitive with the corresponding virgin materials.

Urea-to-Ammonia Conversion at Proteus mirabilis Modified Pt–Ni/BDD Electrodes

Efficient wastewater recycling technologies are essential for long-duration space missions and sustainable water management on Earth. Here, a bioelectrochemical system integrating Proteus mirabilis with a platinum–nickel-modified boron-doped diamond electrode (Pt–Ni/BDDE) for urea-to-ammonia conversion in synthetic urine is presented. Immobilized P. mirabilis catalyzes enzymatic ureolysis, converting urea into ammonia, which is subsequently oxidized electrochemically, and no direct electrochemical urea oxidation is observed. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) of P. mirabilis on Pt–Ni/BDDE in 0.1 M urea and synthetic urine revealed a broad anodic oxidation peak at approximately 0.55–0.75 V vs Ag/AgCl (sat. KCl), corresponding to ammonia oxidation. Control experiments using bare BDDE and Pt–Ni/BDDE in synthetic urine showed no oxidation peak, establishing that the bioelectrocatalytic response originates exclusively from the bioelectrode interface. Chronoamperometry studies revealed that immobilization potential and time critically influenced bacterial adhesion and electrochemical response, with optimal conditions yielding a maximum current density of 0.0055 mA·cm –2 . These quantitative results establish that microbial ureolysis can be efficiently coupled with advanced electrode materials for urea-to-ammonia conversion, offering a promising self-sustaining strategy for urine processing and water recovery in closed-loop life support systems.

Melt Processing Pretreatment Effects on Enzymatic Depolymerization of Poly(ethylene terephthalate)

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a common thermoplastic material, used in a wide variety of applications (i.e., bottles, fabrics, packaging, electronics, and automotive components). Increasing demand for PET has precipitated a need for improved recycling technology, especially for single-use PET waste. Recently, enzymatic depolymerization has shown promise as an environmentally responsible alternative for PET chemical recycling that yields economically useful products (e.g., terephthalic acid, adipic acid, and ethylene glycol). However, the depolymerization system still suffers from low rates on crystalline PET substrates, and effects of realistic waste streams are not known. In our work, PET waste is pretreated using an ultra-high-speed twin-screw extruder system. PET substrates were modified by various processing pretreatments to allow enzymes better access to depolymerize substrate materials. The effect of varying throughput and mechanical shear on structural properties of the PET waste was analyzed using molecular weight and thermal characterizations. These pretreated samples exhibit modifications in molecular weight, glass transition temperature, crystallinity, and specific surface area. The unpurified leaf-branch compost cutinase enzyme produced from the fed-batch fermentation of Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) was used in enzymatic depolymerization, where a faster reaction was observed as crystallinity was decreased and the specific surface area was increased. The rate of terephthalic acid production was also significantly higher for samples processed at lower mechanical shear with higher throughputs. As a result, this work demonstrates the potential for tailoring pretreatments in pursuit of faster and more energy efficient PET recycling using enzymes, with facile adaptation to the industrial scale for the circular economy.

Machine learning models for estimating contamination across different curbside collection strategies

Contaminated recyclables, which are frequently discarded as waste, pose a significant challenge to the implementation of a circular economy. These contaminated recyclables impede the circulation of resources, resulting in higher processing costs at material recovery facilities (MRFs). Over the past few decades, machine learning (ML) models such as linear regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF) have evolved to provide new methods for predicting inbound contamination rates in addition to traditional statistical models. In this study, we applied ML models to predict inbound contamination rates using demographic features from 15 counties in the U.S. with different curbside collection strategies. In general, we found that ML models outperformed linear mixed models. Specifically, SVM models had the highest performance (R 2 = 0.75; mean absolute error (MAE) = 0.06), which may be due to their ability to model nonlinear relationships between features and inbound contamination rates. Further, the key predictor was population, with poverty rate being positively correlated and median age negatively correlated with inbound contamination rates. To improve the management of contamination and enhance the implementation of a circular economy, better models are needed to understand and estimate inbound contamination rates as well as identify critical factors in the present and future.

Superior removal of As(III) and As(V) from water with Mn-doped β-FeOOH nanospindles on carbon foam

Arsenic pollution of water is one of the severest environmental challenges threatening human health. Iron-based nanomaterials have been demonstrated effective in arsenic removal. However, they generally suffer from low removal efficiency towards highly toxic As(III), loss of active sites owing to agglomeration, and poor reusability. Herein, we report a carbonized melamine foam supported Mn(IV)-doped β-FeOOH nanospindles(CF@Mn-FeOOH NSp) for tackling the technical hurdles. The designed CF@Mn-FeOOH NSp appears as a free-standing monolith through a low-cost and straightforward hydrothermal method. The atomic-scale integration of Mn(IV) into β-FeOOH enables an oxidation-adsorption bifunctionality, where Mn(IV) serves as oxidizer for As(III) and Fe(III) acts as adsorber for As(V). The maximal adsorption capacity for As(V) and As(III) can reach 152 and 107 mg g -1 , respectively. Meanwhile, As in simulated high arsenic groundwater can be decreased to below 10 μg L -1 within 24 h. By simple "filtrating-washing", 85% and 82% of its initial adsorption capacity for As(V) and As(III) can be easily recovered even after 5-cycles reuse. Kinetics and isotherm adsorption study indicate that the arsenic adsorption behavior is mainly through chemical bonding during single-layer adsorbing process. The as-prepared CF@Mn-FeOOH offers a scalable, efficient, and recyclable solution for arsenic removal in groundwater and wastewater from mines and industry.

Carbon-conserving bioproduction of malate in an E. coli -based cell-free system

Formate, a biologically accessible form of CO 2 , has attracted interest as a renewable feedstock for bioproduction. However, approaches are needed to investigate efficient routes for biological formate assimilation due to its toxicity and limited utilization by microorganisms. Cell-free systems hold promise due to their potential for efficient use of carbon and energy sources and compatibility with diverse feedstocks. However, bioproduction using purified cell-free systems is limited by costly enzyme purification, whereas lysate-based systems must overcome loss of flux to background reactions in the cell extract. Here, we engineer an E. coli-based system for an eight-enzyme pathway from DNA and incorporate strategies to regenerate cofactors and minimize loss of flux through background reactions. We produce the industrial di-acid malate from glycine, bicarbonate, and formate by engineering the carbon-conserving reductive TCA and formate assimilation pathways. We show that in situ regeneration of NADH drives metabolic flux towards malate, improving titer by 15-fold. Background reactions can also be reduced 6-fold by diluting the lysate following expression and introducing chemical inhibitors of competing reactions. Together, these results establish a carbon-conserving, lysate-based cell-free platform for malate production, producing 64 μM malate after 8 h. This system conserves 43 % of carbon otherwise lost as CO 2 through the TCA cycle and incorporates 0.13 mol CO 2 equivalents/mol glycine fed. Finally, techno-economic analysis of cell-free malate production from formate revealed that the high cost of lysate is a key challenge to the economic feasibility of the process, even assuming efficient cofactor recycling. This work demonstrates the capabilities of cell-free expression systems for both the prototyping of carbon-conserving pathways and the sustainable bioproduction of platform chemicals.

Carbon Negative Synthesis of Amino Acids Using a Cell-Free-Based Biocatalyst

Biological systems can directly upgrade carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into chemicals. The CO 2 fixation rate of autotrophic organisms, however, is too slow for industrial utility, and the breadth of engineered metabolic pathways for the synthesis of value-added chemicals is too limited. Biotechnology workhorse organisms with extensively engineered metabolic pathways have recently been engineered for CO 2 fixation. Yet, their low carbon fixation rate, compounded by the fact that living organisms split their carbon between cell growth and chemical synthesis, has led to only cell growth with no chemical synthesis achieved to date. Here, we engineer a lysate-based cell-free expression (CFE)-based multienzyme biocatalyst for the carbon negative synthesis of the industrially relevant amino acids glycine and serine from CO 2 equivalents–formate and bicarbonate–and ammonia. The formate-to-serine biocatalyst leverages tetrahydrofolate (THF)-dependent formate fixation, reductive glycine synthesis, serine synthesis, and phosphite dehydrogenase-dependent NAD(P)H regeneration to convert 30% of formate into serine and glycine, surpassing the previous 22% conversion using a purified enzyme system. We find that (1) the CFE-based biocatalyst is active even after 200-fold dilution, enabling higher substrate loading and product synthesis without incurring additional cell lysate cost, (2) NAD(P)H regeneration is pivotal to driving forward reactions close to thermodynamic equilibrium, (3) balancing the ratio of the formate-to-serine pathway genes added to the CFE is key to improving amino acid synthesis, and (4) efficient THF recycling enables lowering the loading of this cofactor, reducing the cost of the CFE-based biocatalyst. To our knowledge, this is the first synthesis of amino acids that can capture CO 2 equivalents for the carbon negative synthesis of amino acids using a CFE-based biocatalyst. Looking ahead, the CFE-based biocatalyst process could be extended beyond serine to pyruvate, a key intermediate, to access a variety of chemicals from aromatics and terpenes to alcohols and polymers.

Unraveling the influence of microbial necromass on subsurface microbiomes: metabolite utilization and community dynamics

The role of microbial necromass (nonliving microbial biomass), a significant component of belowground organic carbon, in nutrient cycling and its impact on the dynamics of microbial communities in subsurface systems remains poorly understood. It is currently unclear whether necromass metabolites from various microbes are different, whether certain groups of metabolites are preferentially utilized over others, or whether different microbial species respond to various necromass metabolites. In this study, we aimed to fill these knowledge gaps by designing enrichments with necromass as the sole nutrient source for subsurface microbial communities. We used the soluble fraction of necromass from bacterial isolates belonging to Arthrobacter, Agrobacterium, and Pseudomonas genera, and our results indicate that metabolite composition of necromass varied slightly across different strains but generally included amino acids, organic acids, and nucleic acid constituents. Arthrobacter-derived necromass appeared more recalcitrant. Necromass metabolites enriched diverse microbial genera, particularly Massilia sp. responded quickly regardless of the necromass source. Despite differences in necromass utilization, microbial community composition converged rapidly over time across the three different necromass amendments. Uracil, xanthine, valine, and phosphate-containing isomers were generally depleted over time, indicating microbial assimilation for maintenance and growth. However, numerous easily assimilable metabolites were not significantly depleted, suggesting efficient necromass recycling and the potential for necromass stabilization in systems. This study highlights the dynamic interactions between microbial necromass metabolites and subsurface microbial communities, revealing both selective utilization and rapid community and necromass convergence regardless of the necromass source.
