Selective recovery of polypropylene (and polyethylene) from mixed plastic wastes
Project ID: D2021-43 Background Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer used in packaging materials, consumer goods, automotive components, and medical devices. It is difficult to recover PP from mixed plastic waste streams; PP has a similar density to polyethylene (PE) and cannot be selectively separated from PE via the sink-float methods...

Two-step method for production of multiple biofuels and products from Non-Lignocellosic Biomass
Project ID: D2015-31Background Biomass of non-lignocellulosic origin is typically composed of one or more of three components – protein, starch and oils (such as triacylglycerides or other lipids). One of the concerns with thermochemical processing of protein-containing biomass is contamination of bio-oil with nitrogen-containing compounds (such...
