Novel Platinum/Chromium Alloy for the Manufacture of Improved Coronary Stents
2011 FLC Excellence in Technology Transfer Award
A coronary stent is a small, self-expanding metal mesh tube that saves thousands of lives every year by opening blocked arteries and allowing blood to flow freely again. Jointly developed by NETL and Boston Scientific Corporation, Inc., (BSCI) this novel alloy is the first austenitic stainless steel formulation to be produced for the coronary stent industry, with a significant concentration of an element, platinum, with high radiopacity—high visibility with x-ray scanning. Better visibility means greater ease and precision in placement of the stent inside the patient’s blood vessel. In addition, the greater yield strength of the alloy allowed the stent’s designers at BSCI to make a thinner, more flexible stent that is more easily threaded through the winding path of the artery without doing damage along the way which has allowed to be deployed much smaller vessels in and around the heart.
Since introduction in 2010, the platinum/chromium coronary stent series, which includes the PROMUS® Element™, ION™, and OMEGA™ Stent Systems, has become the leading stent platform in the world. Total sales since introduction have exceeded $4 billion. BSCI now has a 45 percent share of the market in the U.S. and a 33 percent global share of the coronary stent market using the platinum/chromium (PtCr) alloy.
A newly-developed stent that incorporates this alloy has received approval in Europe for use in treating critical limb ischemia, a severe obstruction of arteries within the extremities, which reduces blood flow and can damage tissues. Restoring and maintaining peripheral blood flow in these patients is critical for proper tissue repair and reduces the risk of amputation. This alloy will be used in making all of BSCI’s future coronary stents, both bare and drug-eluting according to BSCI personnel, making this product hugely successful.
In 2011, the new alloy captured two prestigious awards: an R&D 100 Award, given by R&D Magazine to recognize the 100 most technologically significant products entering the marketplace each year, and a technology transfer award for “Outstanding Commercialization Success” from the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer. On October 4, 2012, the NETL team who developed this alloy received the highest honor of all, the U.S. Secretary of Energy’s Achievement Award.
On July 2, 2014 workers with heavy equipment use a thermal desorption process in what was formerly Steven Jensen's wheat field near Tioga, North Dakota. A Tesoro Logistics LP pipeline spilled more than 20,000 barrels of crude oil into the field in September of 2013. The six-inch pipeline was carrying crude oil from the Bakken shale play to the Stampede rail facility outside Columbus, North Dakota. Thermal desorption involves excavating soil or other contaminated material for treatment in a thermal desorber. To prepare the soil for treatment, large rocks or debris first must be removed or crushed. The smaller particle size allows heat to more easily and evenly separate contaminants from the solid material. The prepared soil is placed in the thermal desorber to be heated. Low-temperature thermal desorption is used to heat the solid material to 200-600ºF to treat VOCs. If SVOCs are present, then high-temperature thermal desorption is used to heat the soil to 600-1000ºF.
Gas collection equipment captures the contaminated vapors. Vapors often require further treatment, such as removing dust particles. The remaining organic vapors are usually destroyed using a thermal oxidizer, which heats the vapors to temperatures high enough to convert them to carbon dioxide and water vapor. At some sites with high concentrations of organic vapors, the vapors may be cooled and condensed to change them back to a liquid form. The liquid chemicals may be recycled for reuse, or treated by incineration. If the concentrations of contaminants are low enough, and dust is not a problem, the vapors may be released without treatment to the atmosphere. Often, treated soil can be used to fill in the excavation at the site. If the treated soil contains contaminants that do not evaporate, such as most metals, they may be disposed of and capped onsite, or transported offsite to an appropriate landfill. Photo by Les Stone

Washington DC, November 15 2016. A diverse crowd of around three thousand fired up activists variously affiliated with over a hundred different groups gathered in front of offices occupied by the Army Corps Of Engineers (and other agencies including the GAO...) for a rally and march to protect the midwestern plains water and land that rightfully belongs in perpetuity to Native American people. A core group of speakers travelled here from the Dakotas to lead the action. There is some slim hope that President Obama can be persuaded in the waning days of his presidency to refuse 'right of way' on Federal lands for the Dakota Access Pipeline. There was a sad, poignant vibe to the event because the DAPL poisonous snake will almost certainly be 'fast tracked' by the incoming Trump administration. President Elect Donald J. Trump is an investor in the pipeline. The company largely responsible for the pipeline project is headed by a very rich Texan folk music enthusiast/opportunist/OK guitar player who seems to have little understanding of what most folk musicians are trying to express.

Greenpeace activist Naomi Ages holds up a spine during a press conference with Senator Marko Rubio after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to confirm the nomination of Rex Tillerson for Donald Trump's Secretary of State. Greenpeace Climate Liability Campaigner Ages said: “The Senators voting to confirm Rex Tillerson have clearly left their spines at home. Instead of standing up to a historically unpopular President, they're letting Trump hand the State department over to the oil and gas industry."

Activists from Coal Action, London Mining Network & Friends of the Earth gathered outside the Dept of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to call on the government to honour its commitment to phasing out coal for power generation. Action by the government so far has been too slow and contains too many loopholes, including subsidies for coal-fired power stations. In a graphic display of the excess deaths from air pollution caused by continued burning of coal, they lay 2,900 clay figures outside the government office.

Today the Illawarra Knitting Nannas Against Gas visited Malcolm Turnbull's Edgecliff office. He was not there and had not answered the two simple questions the Nannas had left him earlier.
1. Do you support a ban on CSG mining in drinking water catchments?
2. Would you move Federal legislation to enact a ban on CSG mining in drinking water catchments?
Though the Nannas staged a peaceful knit in, his staff did feel it necessary to call the police.
Is this art? Or just rubbish? Had the camera to hand, daughter's Doll (with real weeing action) and a small globe.... Oh, and I had partaken of a glass of wine or two.
Sharing a Little Bit of Albany History
By Joe Licavoli
On February 2nd, students from West Albany High School finally got to meet and know a little bit about their next-door neighbors from NETL’s Albany site. As part of continuing outreach efforts by both NETL and other community leaders, 28 advanced placement (AP) chemistry students attended a two-and-a-half hour set of talks at the Albany Regional Museum. These talks focused on Albany’s specialty metals history on the production of zirconium and titanium. In planning the event, NETL’s Joseph Licavoli worked with Sylvia Harvey (Teacher at West Albany High), Howard Poppleton (Retired—US Bureau of Mines), Mark Sidall (Retired—ATI Wah Chang), Dennis Emerson (Retired—ATI Wah Chang), Barry Valder (Retired—ATI Wah Chang), Judy Weissert (Director, Albany Regional Museum) and Mae Yih (Retired State Senator). The talks included an introduction to materials science, the history of specialty metals processing in Albany, and current/future uses of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, and tantalum.
After the talks, students and speakers held casual conversations about careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields and about specific research topics that had been discussed.
Mae Yih graciously offered to provide lunch for the students as well. Students were very engaged in the talks and grateful for the opportunity to discuss science with people that have helped make Albany a key player in metallurgy over the years. As part of her “Albany Renaissance” project, Mae Yih is sponsoring an essay contest for Albany area schools with this year’s topic focusing on the metal titanium and its uses. This essay contest and the high school visit are a part of ongoing efforts by members of the Albany community to help advance STEM education and bring more attention to the strong influence and positive effects that metallurgical processing facilities have had in shaping Albany’s history
