Subtopic 3G: Advanced Solid Separation Technologies: Program Area of Interest 3: Coal Fuels and Hydrogen Background: The Coal Fuels and Hydrogen program sponsors coal-based research directed toward developing: 1) processes to produce clean liquid transportation fuels and hydrogen; 2) more efficient processes for manufacturing carbon products and chemicals; and 3) advanced separation processes. Overall Program Goals Enhance the Nation apos;s energy security by sponsoring the development of technologies that offer the opportunity to produce affordable, clean liquid transportation fuels and hydrogen from coal. Provide the technical foundation for producing high value carbon products and chemicals from coal. Develop the underlying scientific and engineering principles relating to solid-solid and solid-liquid separations, especially as they are applied to the mining industry. Reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gases from coal-based processes through life cycle engineering. Research Objectives for Program Area of Interest 3 Subtopics Program Area of Interest 3 has seven Subtopics: Subtopic 3A - Hydrogen Storage; Subtopic 3B - Production of High Hydrogen Content Coal - Derived Liquids; Subtopic 3C - Process Intensification; Subtopic 3D - Advanced Water-Gas Shift Membrane Reactor; Subtopic 3E - Advanced Solvents and Solid Sorbents - Based Separation Systems; Subtopic 3F - Advanced Fuels Research; and Subtopic 3G - Advanced Solid Separation Technologies. NOTE: The project narrative for Program Areas of Interest 1, 2 and 3 shall not exceed 30 pages (excluding the cover page and table of contents). Subtopic 3: Advanced Solid Separation Technologies Funding Opportunity Announcement No. DE-PS26-04NT42249-3G This research area would focus on development of advanced technologies in solid-solid and solid-liquid separations that have crosscutting applications in the mining industry. The research would include a combination of computational, laboratory and bench-/pilot-scale research that utilizes physical or chemical methodology to improve the efficiency of mining operations and reduce the environmental impact of those operations. An example would be new technologies for dewatering coal fines to reduce the amount of this material that is being disposed, and applying new technologies to recover these fines residing in waste ponds. Another example would be recovery of metals from what is now being disposed as waste and which may pose an environmental threat. Research may also include development of monitoring and analytical components needed to fully deploy the separations technologies.
