High Resolution and Fast Scanning Speed SQUID Based Nondestructive Inspection System of Niobium Sheets for SRF Cavities
SBC: Amac International, Inc. Topic: 30High energy physics accelerators and instruments in other fields require the use of thousands of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities that are made of high purity niobium (Nb) material. The purity of Nb is critical for these cavities to reach the highest accelerating fields. Tantalum (Ta) is the most prolific of metal contaminants, can cause thermal breakdown, and can prevent the cavitie ...

ILC Coupler Design
SBC: Avar Inc. Topic: 30Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) power couplers are used to introduce RF power into evacuated accelerating cavities typically operating at a few degrees Kelvin. These couplers are historically a problematic component that adversely affects the cost and reliability of the entire accelerator system. This project will develop a coupler which is low in capital and operating cost, highly reliable, ...

Green Electropolishing for Niobium SRF Cavities
SBC: BLACK LABORATORIES LLC Topic: 36aThe ability of nuclear physics research to continue to make a significant impact on the scientific community relies on advances in accelerator performance, particularly on improvements in superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. In order to obtain optimal performance, the inner surfaces of the SRF cavities must be clean, smooth, and free of damage. However, current methods of treating the s ...

Feasibility of Commercialization of a Pre-Pretreatment Process for Enhanced Biomass Saccharification
SBC: SuGanit Systems Inc. Topic: 13aCurrent methods to break-down biomass into simple sugars for fermentation constitute the core barrier to the production of ethanol with minimal energy and water input, and waste output. In particular, the present practice of enzymatically hydrolyzing biomass into its constituent sugars in aqueous media suffers from slow reaction rates. This project will develop an ionic liquid pretreatment process ...

Discovery Tools for Science Education Content
SBC: David Wojick Topic: 41There is no reasonable way for teachers, parents or students to search on the Web for science content, especially Department of Energy research that is suited for a specific grade level or degree of difficulty. There are thousands of small collections scattered through the Web. The only way to search them is one by one, which is too difficult. This project will develop a grade level stratification ...

Aqueous Phase Base-Facilitated-Reforming (BFR) of Renewable Fuels
SBC: Directed Technologies, Inc. Topic: 22aThe primary industrial hydrogen production method today is Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) of natural gas (NG) at medium centralized facilities. This method has several shortcomings: (1) the natural gas feedstock is not renewable, (2) carbon emissions require costly mitigation systems to be compliant with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, (3) reformation results in a dilute hyd ...

Improved, High-Moisture Ensiled Crop Feedstocks for Cellulosic Ethanol
SBC: Edenspace Systems Corporation Topic: 01As grain ethanol production capacity becomes constrained by the available supply of corn grain, production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass is widely seen as necessary to meet the surging demand for fuel ethanol. However, the high cost of biomass pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis make cellulosic ethanol too expensive. This project will develop technology to improve the quality of ensi ...

A Novel Method for Phytoextraction and Phytostabilization of Environmental Mercury
SBC: Edenspace Systems Corporation Topic: 38bBecause environmental mercury poses significant challenges to global public health, reducing mercury levels in air, soil, and water is an international priority. However, the widespread distribution of mercury (Hg) through the atmosphere makes current methods of addressing Hg contamination ¿ such as excavation and replacement of soil, or pump-and-treat techniques for water ¿ too expensive to be ...

Development of a Highly Efficient Solid State Electrochemical Hydrogen Compressor
SBC: FuelCell Energy, Inc. Topic: 03With the depletion of fossil fuel reserves, hydrogen-based energy is becoming increasingly important. However, the production, purification, and compression of hydrogen represent key technical challenges to the implementation of a hydrogen economy, especially in the transportation sector where on-board storage of pure hydrogen may require compression at pressures up to 12,000 psi. Existing compr ...

New Technology for Improved Nuclear Energy Systems
SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED Topic: 53aGeneration-IV nuclear energy systems, especially the very high temperature reactors are planned to operate at temperatures above 1000 degrees C and with neutron fluence up to cm. Accurate temperature measurements will be needed to identify hot spots, control thermal cycles, and perform temperature compensation of sensors, functions that are critical to the safe operation of these reactors. Howev ...
