A -- DEVELOP AND DEMONSTRATE TECHNOLOGY FOR SEPARATING AUTOMOBILE SHREDDER RESIDUE (ASR) INTO MARKETABLE COMPONENTS SOL 14320295R0014 DUE 072695 POC Contract Specialist, JANICE L COFFELT, 303-236-0257 X223 The U.S. Bureau of Mines is seeking U.S. Cooperators to enter into Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) to help develop and demonstrate technology for separating automobile shredder residue (ASR) into marketable components. Cooperators are sought in two areas. (1) A generator of ASR is needed to provide a site at an industrial shredding facility where a demonstration-scale separation process can be installed. The cooperator will be required to share in the cost of the work as part of the CRADA. (2) Cooperators are needed to establish the marketability of products that are produced using the process, such as various plastics, polyurethane foam, glass, fine ferrous and nonferrous metals, and mixed fibers. Potential Cooperators will provide technical expertise in establishing target grades for products and will test products for their suitability within the marketplace. The U.S. Bureau of Mines recognizes proprietary rights and can provide exclusive licenses and other incentives to Cooperators. Interested parties may write to Robert R. Hall, Chemical Engineer, U.S. Bureau of Mines, Salt Lake City Research Center, 729 Arapeen Dr., Salt Lake City, UT, 84108, or phone(0208)
