Potential pollution prevention and waste minimization for Department of Energy operations
With the tightening of budgets and limited resources, it is important to ensure operations are carried out in a cost-effective and productive manner. Implementing an effective Pollution Prevention strategy can help to reduce the costs of waste management and prevent harmful releases to the environment. This document provides an estimate of the Department of Energy`s waste reduction potential from the implementation of Pollution Prevention opportunities. A team of Waste Minimization and Pollution Prevention professionals was formed to collect the data and make the estimates. The report includes a list of specific reduction opportunities for various waste generating operations and waste types. A generic set of recommendations to achieve these reduction opportunities is also provided as well as a general discussion of the approach and assumptions made for each waste generating operation
Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis in Flow
Photoredox catalysis: A variety of organic transformations mediated by visible-light-active photoredox catalysts have been conducted in a photochemical flow reactor. The reactor design is very simple and can be easily implemented in any laboratory (see picture). In addition, this reactor afforded a marked increase in the reaction rate compared to those observed in typical batch (round bottom flask) reactors.National Science Foundation (U.S.) (Grant CHE-1056568)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (NIGMS Grant R01-GM096129)Alfred P.

Idaho National Laboratory 2015-2023 Ten-Year Site Plan
This Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Ten-Year Site Plan (TYSP) describes the strategy for accomplishing the long-term objective of sustaining the INL infrastructure to meet the Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) mission: to promote nuclear power as a resource capable of making major contributions in meeting the nation’s energy supply, environmental and energy security needs. This TYSP provides the strategy for INL to accomplish its mission by: (1) linking R&D mission goals to core capabilities and infrastructure requirements; (2) establishing a ten-year end-state vision for INL facility complexes; (3) identifying and prioritizing infrastructure needs and capability gaps; (4) establishing maintenance and repair strategies that allow for sustainment of mission-critical (MC) facilities; and (5) applying sustainability principles to each decision and action. The TYSP serves as the infrastructure-planning baseline for INL; and, though budget formulation documents are informed by the TYSP, it is not itself a budget document
Photocatalytic Arylation of Alkenes, Alkynes and Enones with Diazonium Salts
Teaching old dogs new tricks: Visible light photoredox catalysis improves the classic Meerwein arylation protocol significantly and allows the light-controlled arylation of alkenes, alkynes and enones by diazonium salts
Accessing nitrosocarbonyl compounds with temporal and spatial control via the photoredox oxidation of N-substituted hydroxylamines
Photoredox catalysis is employed to generate highly reactive acylnitroso species from hydroxamic acid derivatives. The conditions are shown to be comparable to a previously developed transition metal aerobic oxidation and are amenable to a range of transformations including Diels-Alder and ene reactions. This unique application of such an approach gives access to temporal and spatial control in nitroso chemistry
