The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Clemson University to develop processes to increase the strength of lignin-based carbon fibers, increase lignin substitution into polyurethane (PU) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foams, and synthesize activated carbons (AC) using residual lignin. Lignin would be isolated and purified using the Aqueous Lignin Purification with Hot Acids (ALPHA) process. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
