For an energy source to qualify as sustainable, it must maximize the efficiency with which it uses natural resources while minimizing the amounts of waste it produces. Currently deployed nuclear power plants however use a very limited amount of the energy ...
Nowadays, the fine chemical industry requires increasingly faster time-to-market as well as economically efficient and safe processes. In addition, the growing product variety needs more versatile production plants able to produce from small amounts up to ...
EIGER is the new thermal triple-axis-spectrometer at the continuous spallation SINQ at PSI. The shielding of the monochromator consists only of non- or low magnetizable materials, which allows the use of strong magnetic fields with the instrument. This shi ...
The effect of reactor material (borosilicate and polyethylene terephthalate-PET) and its reuse on the microbiological and chemical decontamination of water by the photo-Fenton reaction at near-neutral pH was assessed. Escherichia coli was used as an indica ...
During the last two decades, silicon carbide based ceramic composites (SiC/SiC) have become a candidate material for nuclear fuel cladding, first for advanced nuclear systems, such as the GFR, and recently also as potential replacement material for nuclear ...
Ferritic-martensitic Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steels are potential materials for fuel pin cladding in Sodium Fast Reactor (SFR) and their optimisation is essential for future industrial applications. In this paper, a feasibility study concerning ...
The chemoselective three-phase hydrogenation of an Ombrabulinintermediate based on a nitro-stilbene framework was used as a case study for the formation of the primary amine without affecting the double bond. Two catalysts were tested: Pt nanoparticles sup ...
Silicon carbide based composites are candidates for structural components and fuel claddings in nuclear power plants. In the frame of accident tolerant fuel research, the effective through-thickness thermal conductivity of SiC/SiC prototype claddings is in ...
The presence of voids in perovskite solar cells influences the efficiency because of accelerated charge recombination. The induced electric field near voids due to band bending attracts photogenerated electrons and holes toward the voids, leading to carrie ...
This chapter summarizes different innovative fuel production techniques using the product streams from an aqueous reprocessing route with a focus on the well-known sol-gel conversion method. There is also reference to additional steps, post sol-gel convers ...
