This proposal focuses on developing well-suited materials for use in bindered anthracite briques that can replace conventional coke in foundry cupolas. The objectives of this NSF AIR project will be to: (1) Carry forward the market development of biomaterial-bindered anthracite briques as a replacement for coke in foundry cupolas, (2) Translate research-based results into full-scale market potential by conducting the research and development that resolves how industry can supply ultra-fine anthracite grains, mitigate potential brique biodegradation, and diminish air pollution, (3) Work with an anthracite supplier, two pulp miller, two cupola foundries, and others in industry, to demonstrate at full-scale this novel bindered anthracite opportunity. The needs and potential impact of having this replacement material, ultra-fine anthracite, for coke are clearly stated, where the environmental, financial, and industrial impacts are large. As stated in the proposal, this work will help advance the areas of sustainable manufacturing, high temperature bindering, ultrasonics, microbiology, coal processing, and wood (i.e., lignin) products. The broader impacts of this proposal could help the US coke industry in addressing the need for more manufacturing capability. The proposal puts forth alternative materials that require less energy to manufacture and release less CO2 and volatile organic carbon air emissions. Successful completion of this project will increase American business competitiveness by transforming otherwise wasted coal and biomaterials into value-added products, while sustainably making manufactured goods for the US population. The proposed research will also offer excellent opportunities for teaching, training, learning, and discovery relative to sustainable manufacturing. The PI also plans to bring a minority Ph.D candidate into this program to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups and integrating diversity into learning.

该提案的重点是开发适用于粘结无烟煤砖的材料，以取代铸造冲天炉中的传统焦炭。该 NSF AIR 项目的目标是：(1) 推进生物材料粘合无烟煤砖作为铸造冲天炉焦炭替代品的市场开发，(2) 通过开展以下研究，将基于研究的成果转化为全面的市场潜力解决工业如何供应超细无烟煤颗粒、减轻潜在的砖块生物降解以及减少空气污染的研究和开发，(3) 与无烟煤供应商合作，两种纸浆米勒、两家冲天炉铸造厂和其他工业界人士，全面展示了这种新型粘合无烟煤的机会。明确指出了焦炭替代材料超细无烟煤的需求和潜在影响，其中环境、金融和工业影响很大。正如提案中所述，这项工作将有助于推进可持续制造、高温粘合、超声波、微生物学、煤炭加工和木材（即木质素）产品领域的发展。该提案的更广泛影响可能有助于美国焦炭行业满足对更多制造能力的需求。该提案提出了需要更少能源来制造、释放更少二氧化碳和挥发性有机碳空气排放的替代材料。该项目的成功完成将通过将废弃的煤炭和生物材料转化为增值产品，同时为美国人口可持续地生产制成品，从而提高美国的商业竞争力。拟议的研究还将为与可持续制造相关的教学、培训、学习和发现提供极好的机会。 PI 还计划将一名少数族裔博士候选人纳入该计划，以扩大代表性不足群体的参与并将多样性融入学习中。
