This project aims to develop a scalable catalytic process that can sustainably upcycle mixed plastics from bioprocessed municipal solid waste into hydrogen and valuable carbon nanotube products. The process will integrate pyrolysis, reforming, and carbon growth technology into a single reactor, enabled by the rational design of multifunctional catalysts. Through computational process simulation and optimization, life cycle analysis, and techno-economic assessment, investment and operational costs at larger scale are anticipated to be greatly reduced. By mitigating mixed waste plastics from going to landfills, the project will also provide significant benefits to clean energy production and advanced material manufacturing in Australia.

该项目旨在开发一种可扩展的催化工艺，可以将混合塑料从生物处理的城市固体废物中可持续地向上循环为氢气和有价值的碳纳米管产品。该工艺将通过多功能催化剂的合理设计，将热解、重整和碳生长技术集成到一个反应器中。通过计算过程模拟和优化，生命周期分析和技术经济评估，预计在较大规模的投资和运营成本将大大降低。通过减少混合废塑料进入垃圾填埋场，该项目还将为澳大利亚的清洁能源生产和先进材料制造带来重大利益。
