Department of Energy (DOE) released a report suggesting that, in theory, over 300 former and present coal power plants could be converted to nuclear. Such a conversion has never been done, but the report is another sign that the idea is gaining momentum—if with the slow steps of a baby needing decades to learn to walk. “A

nm, average) of iron pyrite (FeS 2 ) nanoparticles are advantageous to sustain reversible conversion reactions in sodium ion and lithium ion batteries. In this work we explore the sodium and lithium conversion of ultrafine FeS 2 nanoparticles, with a tight size distribution centered around ∼4.5

Using a novel, reusable carbon material derived from old rubber tires, an Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)-led research team has developed a simple method to convert used cooking oil into biofuel. The patent-pending, waste oil-to-biofuel conversion adds a new approach to waste tire recycling initiatives. —Hood et al.

The platform technology is also being commercialized for conversion of waste brines to chemicals and desalinated water. Mangrove’s modular solution can be scaled to any capacity and co-located with upstream lithium producers or cathode and cell manufacturers. The process creates an effluent stream with salinity below 3,000 ppm.

Researchers in Sweden and Spain have devised a three-step process for the conversion of precipitated kraft lignin from black liquor into green diesel. The kraft process converts wood into wood pulp for paper production. Their paper appears in the journal ChemSusChem. tons of black liquor dry solids.

It is usually associated with other lithium minerals; spodumene has a chemical composition of LiAlSi 2 O 6 but small amounts of sodium sometimes substitute for lithium.
