Mono / Multilayered Plastic Sorting Based on Multi-Block Non-Negative Matrix Factorization

Plastic sorting is an essential part of waste management. However, the presence of multilayered plastic makes sorting much more challenging.

Solvent Tolerant Nanofiltration and Reverse Osmosis membranes for the purification of industrial aqueous streams

To overcome that the presence of solvents in water streams lowers membrane performance hindering their implementation in industry, new solvent tolerant polymer-grafted ceramic nanofiltration membranes were synthesised and tested.
Washing plastics

Pyrolysis of mixed plastic waste (DKR-350): Effect of washing pre-treatment and fate of chlorine

What is the effect of washing pre-treatment and fate of chlorine? The influence of different washing procedures was investigated.
The predictability of pyrolysis yields and product composition of mixed plastics has been studied.

Pyrolysis of mixed plastic waste: predicting the product yields

The predictability of pyrolysis yields and product composition of mixed plastics has been studied.

Sortability of packaging towards dummyplastic streams for chemical recycling

In this publication the sortability of 16 packaging materials to create 2 dummy benchmark streams was determined.

Non-Negative Matrix Factorization and Systematic Simplification of Hyperspectral Images for High-Speed Plastic Sorting

A simple and efficient procedure for the selection of essential pixels/wavelengths in HSI data sets is introduced with a high potential for application in industrial plastic sorting.
Whitepaper Industriele Flexibiliteit

Whitepaper Industriële Flexibiliteit

Whitepaper over de mogelijkheden voor elektrificatie en flexibilisering voor de Nederlandse industriue.
Green hydrogen is crucial in the future energy system

Roadmap of the measuring requirements for green hydrogen production by electrolysis

This roadmap helps identifying and prioritizing the needs for measurements related to green hydrogen production (via PEM and Alkaline electrolysis).
Hydrohub Hyscaling project

Progress 1st year Hyscaling project

The Hyscaling project is about making hydrogen production from electricity on a GW-scale applicable.
Pinched - Industrial Heat Pump Market

PINcHED – Process Integrated Heat Pump Drying

The PINcHED project investigates the heat pump process integration for 2 typical drying processes: Convective drying (Huhtamaki use case) and Contact drying (Cosun/Rixona and AVEBE use cases).
Dashboard of the Carbon Transition Model

Carbon Transition Model for Dutch industry

The Carbon Transition Model maps out raw material, energy and emission flows for carbon-intensive companies, and predicts how these flows change with different options for achieving sustainability.

On the mechanism for the plasma-activated N2 dissociation on Ru surfaces

Plasma-activation of N2 via vibrational excitations or electronic excitations enhances the dissociative sticking probability on Ru-surface.
from the Birkeland–Eyde process towards energy-efficient plasma-based NOx synthesis

From the Birkeland–Eyde process towards energy-efficient plasma-based NOX synthesis: a techno-economic analysis

Plasma-based NOX synthesis via the Birkeland–Eyde process was one of the first industrial nitrogen fixation methods.

Plasma-catalytic ammonia synthesis beyond thermal equilibrium on Ru-based catalysts in nonthermal plasma

Recently it was proposed that plasma-catalytic NH3 synthesis with excited N2 allows for conversions beyond thermal equilibrium. We show that this is indeed possible with experimental data for Ru catalysts...
Plasma Activated Electrochemical Ammonia Synthesis from Nitrogen and Water

Plasma Activated Electrochemical Ammonia Synthesis from Nitrogen and Water

An all-electric method for sustainable ammonia production from nitrogen and water using a plasma-activated proton conducting solid oxide electrolyzer.
plasma-catalyst interactions

Plasma-driven catalysis: green ammonia synthesis with intermittent electricity

A summary of the literature on plasma-driven ammonia synthesis.

Vibrationally Excited Activation of N2 in Plasma Enhanced Catalytic Ammonia Synthesis: A Kinetic Analysis

Plasma-enhanced catalytic ammonia synthesis has been proposed as an alternative pathway for green nitrogen fixation in the case of medium- and small-scale operation. Recently, Mehta et al. [Nat. Catal. 2018,...
plasma activated electrolysis

Plasma Activated Electrolysis for Cogeneration of Nitric Oxide and Hydrogen from Water and Nitrogen

In this work an all-electric route for simultaneous NO and H2 production is demonstrated. H2O is reduced to H2 in the cathode of a solid oxide electrolyzer while NO is...

Comparing the Performance of Organic Solvent Nanofiltration Membranes in Non-Polar Solvents

Whitepaper: Responsible Innovation for the Acceptance of AI in the Process Industry

Responsible innovation for the acceptance of AI in the process industry

This whitepaper stated that if the process industry wants to become ‘smart’ its innovators should be keen to develop skills.

Plasma Conversie

Plasma conversie heeft het potentieel om een gamechanger te zijn in de chemische industrie voor de productie van ammoniak. Het biedt een ecologisch schoon alternatief proces voor Haber-Bosch zonder kooldioxide-uitstoot...
DES: a nature-based, renewable pulping technology

Deep Eutectic Solvents in the pulp and paper industry

New, mild pulping technologies based on natural Deep Eutectic Solvents lead to a significantly more sustainable process that is energy-, cost- and resource-effective.
STNF - Solvent Tolerant Nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes for the purification of industrial aqueous streams

Epoxy-based STNF membranes prepared via non-solvent induced phase inversion as novel class of stable membranes

A method of partially crosslinking a polymer solution prior to casting was successful for the preparation of solvent-tolerant nanofiltration membranes.
