35 | October 1, 5:30-6:00 | Team 12 | eh49 | Our project is to design a system that will reclaim dissolved silver from photographic fixer, which is extremely toxic to fish, such that it can be safely poured down the drain. Our general customer in this case is Calvin’s Art Department, and more specifically, professor Jennifer Hoag. We are planning for this design project to be a one-off, but perhaps that would change if the design would prove useful for a large number of users. Our general customer is anyone who operates a traditional darkroom, as film is still used to create fine art prints, and teach beginners about how cameras work fundamentally. Our current best-idea for a design solution is a electrolysis system that will use electric current to pull the dissolved silver out of the solution. Ideally, the system will be automatic and require either very little to no user input. | https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C23&q=electrolysis+reclaim+silver+photographic+fixer+solution+intitle%3Areview&btnG= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8TMSq9fgm4 https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=effective+electrolysis+silver+recovery+fixer&hl=en&as_sdt=0,23&as_rr=1 https://www.grandrapidsmi.gov/Government/Departments/Environmental-Services/Wastewater-Treatment | |||||||||||||||

38 | October 3, 4:00-4:30 | Team 21 | wdl4 rr39 | Our poject is designing a chemical plant process to manufacture lisdexamfetamine, the active ingredient in Vyvanse, a pharmecutical drug made by New River Pharmacy exclusively until recently. The goal is to improve New River Phramacy's current synthesis mechanism by either finding a new, cheaper synthesis pathway or optimizing the equipment/materials used. Research objectives involve finding cheaper ways to sythesize lisdexamfetamine(CAS Registry Number: 608137-32-2) and pricing on various industrial equipment in the process (reactor, distillation tower, heaters, coolers, etc.). Please Note: The New River Pharm. patent contains two mesylate groups ionically bonded to lisdexamfetamine in the finished product. These components are involved in the synthesis and provide stability to the compound. As it stands, we can either include or disregard these components in our particular sythesis. | https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C23&q=synthesizing+lisdexamfetamine&btnG= https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C23&q=lisdexamfetamine+synthesis+intitle%3Areview&btnG= https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Lisdexamfetamine SciFinder https://library.calvin.edu/engr339 https://www.fda.gov/drugs/information-drug-class/prescription-stimulant-medications https://www.google.com/search?q=pharmaceutical+production+tax+credits&sca_esv=9c8fe5677d44d698&ei=4jPgaPnAAcax0PEP75_omQU&ved=0ahUKEwj5ua798IiQAxXGGDQIHe8POlMQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=pharmaceutical+production+tax+credits https://www.govinfo.gov/ | |||||||||||||||
39 | October 3, 4:30-5:00 | Team 13 | pm63 | Our project is focused on designing a practical and sustainable solar solution for a church that currently sits unused for most of the day. While this church has expressed interest in installing solar panels, our goal is to create a plan that not only makes the transition to solar simple and manageable but also helps the church use their space and energy more efficiently. Also, we are focused on getting the church their money back in a timely manner. | https://solarfaithful.org/ https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C23&q=solar+installation+church+buildings&btnG= https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/4/1408 https://journals.library.columbia.edu/index.php/cjel/article/view/3736/1543 https://lib-proxy.calvin.edu/login?url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-97-8313-7_71 https://lib-proxy.calvin.edu/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/calvin/detail.action?docID=1674089 https://www.melinksolar.com/industries/religious-organizations | |||||||||||||||

41 | September 23, 1:00-1:30 | Team 22 | nps9@calvin.edu | Our project is to design a facility to produce a hydrogen-rich liquid that is composed of ammonia borane and tetrabutylammonium borohydride. The liquid could have applications in energy storage, as the liquid allows us to store hydrogen at room temperature and pressure. Our next steps in research are to find a method of producing each of these reactants, and how to deal with them safely. We also want to look into market research to see how valuable our product would be in the future. | https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/advs.202300726 https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/18/5/1105 https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2007/dt/b703053c https://www.academia.edu/download/94348716/Fardapaper-A-comparative-overview-of-hydrogen-production-processes.pdf https://manu56.magtech.com.cn/progchem/EN/10.7536/PC200323 https://access.archive-ouverte.unige.ch/access/metadata/bd952a1e-44ba-40a0-a765-74bb9b916482/download https://h2tools.org/sites/default/files/nbh_h2_storage_survey.pdf https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/ejic.200900932 SciFinder https://www.google.com//search?q=msds+%22ammonia+borane%22 | |||||||||||||||

43 | September 29, 8:30-9:00 | Team 1 | sis2@calvin.edu | Our project is to redesign the parking lot at Eastern Avenue Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Our primary objectives are to make the parking lot ADA compliant, reduce sheetflow from excessive stormwater runoff, diminish snow and ice hazards in the winter, and repave the space. The anticipated challenges are the existing topography of the site (the lot is almost dome-shaped), and having to balance current zoning requirements with the existing state of the lot. We want to look into green infrastructure practices, stormwater management, and potential runoff solutions. | https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C23&q=green+stormwater+management+parking+runoff&btnG= https://mountainscholar.org/bitstreams/a9bbc099-102d-48d8-9adc-d910362a07ad/download https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/getauthorversionpdf/c8ew00498f https://research.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/download/38807.pdf https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/45416 https://network.bepress.com/explore/engineering/?q=green+stormwater+management+parking+runoff | |||||||||||||||
44 | September 30, 10:00-10:30 | Team 20 | kat35@calvin.edu | We are designing a proess that will recycle cathode materials from spent Li-ion batteries. We are currently thinking we will include ion-exchange resin for recovery and an acidic or alkaline leach for separation. There is emphasis on green solvents for this process as a means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to practice environmental stewardship. We are aiming to recycle what solvents we can, and utilize this process to recycle 1% of the US production of batteries. | https://calvincollege-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/personal/kat35_calvin_edu/Documents/Senior%20Design%202025-26%20Folder%20Team%2020/Papers%20from%20the%20google%20Drive?csf=1&web=1&e=VchYfJ https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C23&q=recycling+cathode+materials+li-ion+batteries+intitle%3Areview&btnG= https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C23&q=recycling+cathode+materials+li-ion+batteries+resin+leach&btnG= https://calvin.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/openurl?institution=01CALVIN_INST&vid=01CALVIN_INST:01CALVIN_INST&volume=26&date=2024&aulast=Zhang&issue=13&spage=7656&id=doi:10.1039%2FD4GC01781A&auinit=X&title=Green%20Chemistry%20:&atitle=Recycling%20spent%20lithium-ion%20battery%20cathode:%20an%20overview&sid=google https://wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/wene.481 https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-3-031-88951-6.pdf https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C23&q=li-ion+solvent+recycling+intitle%3Areview&btnG= https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/16/3/1365 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Delivery.cfm?abstractid=5134160 https://calvin.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/openurl?institution=01CALVIN_INST&vid=01CALVIN_INST:01CALVIN_INST&aulast=Liu&id=doi:10.1039%2FD4TA07765B&auinit=Y&atitle=Recycling%20and%20direct%20regeneration%20of%20valuable%20cathode%20materials%20from%20spent%20Li-ion%20batteries:%20a%20comprehensive%20review&sid=google https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4701/11/12/1999 https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C23&q=li-ion+solvent+recycling+intitle%3Areview&btnG= https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/cobalt-oxide-nanopowder-market-comprehensive-sadmf/ | |||||||||||||||
