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.

该项目旨在开发可扩展的催化过程，该过程可以可持续地从生物处理的市政固体废物到氢和有价值的碳纳米管产品。该过程将通过多功能催化剂的理性设计使热解，改革和碳生长技术整合到单个反应器中。通过计算过程模拟和优化，生命周期分析以及技术经济评估，预计将大大降低规模的投资和运营成本。通过减轻垃圾填埋场的混合废物塑料，该项目还将为澳大利亚清洁能源生产和先进的材料制造提供重大好处。
