  1. Contact Information Elliot Kennel, Al Stiller, John Zondlo Chemical Engineering West Virginia University Carbon Products Group 304-293-2111 x2423 elliot.kennel@mail.wvu.edu) alfred.stiller@mail.wvu.edu john.zondlo@mail.wvu.edu

  2. Experience / ExpertiseCarbon Products Group, WVU Chemical Engineering Two faculty, one FEAP, three full-time technicians, 1 PhD student, 2 CHE MS students, 2 MS students (MAE, CE), several undergrads. Kennel-Stiller-Zondlo have ~75 years of experience in university and industry in coal liquefaction, syncrude production, pitches, cokes, carbon composites, fiber spinning, nanomaterials. ~25 Patents and > 100 Publications.

  3. Materials-Related Facilities and Other Assets Carbon Products produces 15 gal/day of extracted coal; scaleable to 50 gal/day. Strong Ties to industry leaders in artificial graphite, pitch, coke. Students taught to work to professional standards.

  4. Future Research Interests in the Energy-Related Materials Area Very pure graphite can be produced from coal feedstocks which are actually cleaner than their petroleum counterparts. In particular, Heavy metal impurities content is lower than conventional petroleum derived feedstocks. High thermal conductivity composites possible for graphite reactor, fusion first wall applications. Nuclear Grade Graphite requires fine grain structure, low heavy metals content (neutron x-section), graphitic lattice orientation.
