National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants – Radionuclide Emissions Calendar Year 2022

This compliance report is required under 40 CFR 61, Subpart H. It will be submitted by NFO to regulators under NFO Manager signature. STIP needs to be coordinated with NFO review. Previous reports had Kathryn Gladden as the POC for this. While Kathryn should still be on the list of NFO reviewers, Cesar Alfaro (cesar.alfaro@nnsa.doe.gov, 5-4082) is now the NFO POC.

Pilot-Scale Modular Research Facility for Acidic Water Pollution Cleanup and Domestic Production of Critical Minerals for National Security

A recent study by Penn State researchers revealed that Pennsylvania AMD streams originate from abandoned mines, with coal refuse piles of the lower Kittanning coal seam containing the most valuable heavy rare earth elements. Penn State has developed a three-stage process to recover these critical minerals, tested it for proof of concept, and secured a patent. Funded by the US DOE, a modular pilot-scale research and development unit has been designed and built to process 1,000 gallons per day of AMD from a site managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP). The system will selectively recover iron, aluminum, rare earth elements, and cobalt-nickel-manganese concentrates from AMD, followed by a proprietary downstream purification process. These operations aim to produce concentrates of critical minerals while treating acid mine drainage to meet environmental standards and evaluate different feedstocks. This presentation will describe the design, operation, and innovations of the proposed process and pilot facility, emphasizing its role in promoting sustainable recovery of critical minerals from legacy waste streams.
