Continuous Supercritical Water Impregnation Method for the Preparation of Metal Oxide on Activated Carbon Composite Materials

Christian Ludwig

Metal oxide (MexOy) nanomaterials are used as catalysts and/or sorbents in processes taking place in supercritical water (scH2O), which is the “green” solvent needed to obtain energy-relevant products. Their properties are significantly influenced by the s ...

New Approach to Synthesis of Tetralin via Naphthalene Hydrogenation in Supercritical Conditions Using Polymer-Stabilized Pt Nanoparticles

Lioubov Kiwi

Supercritical (SC) fluid technologies are well-established methods in modern green chemical synthesis. Using SC fluids as solvents instead of traditional liquids gives benefits of higher diffusivity and lower viscosity, which allows mass transfer intensifi ...

Scanning PIV of turbulent flows over and through rough porous beds using refractive index matching

Christophe Ancey, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

This paper presents image velocimetry measurements on turbulent flows adjacent to a permeable bed made of randomly packed glass particles. For measuring flow velocities inside the bed, the refractive index of the glass particles was matched with that of th ...

Visualization of supercritical water pseudo-boiling at Widom line crossover

Christian Ludwig, Andrea Testino

Supercritical water is a green solvent used in many technological applications including materials synthesis, nuclear engineering, bioenergy, or waste treatment and it occurs in nature. Despite its relevance in natural systems and technical applications, t ...

Supercritical water anomalies in the vicinity of the Widom line

Christian Ludwig

Supercritical water is used in a variety of chemical and industrial applications. As a consequence, a detailed knowledge of the structure-properties correlations is of uttermost importance. Although supercritical water was considered as a homogeneous fluid ...

Printing of NiO-YSZ nanocomposites: from continuous synthesis to inkjet deposition

Andreas Stephan Lesch, Victor Costa Bassetto, Massimo Rosa

Water-based inks, containing nanometric NiO and YSZ particles in 66/34 vol. % ratio, are produced by colloidal stabilization of a binary dispersion obtained via continuous hydrothermal synthesis at supercritical conditions, i.e. 280 bar and 400 °C. The met ...

Production of Additive‐Free Amorphous Nanoparticles with a SAW‐Based Microfluidic Spray‐Dryer

Esther Amstad, Huachuan Du, Mathias Steinacher, Duncan Christophe Emmanuel Gilbert

Spray‐drying is a widely employed, cost‐effective process to formulate solutions into solid particles of controlled sizes and compositions. In addition, this process can also offer control over the structure of spray‐dried particles: if the solvent is evap ...

Multiple Inflow Branches at Supercritical-Type Vortex Drop Shaft

Michael Pfister, Jean-Marc Ribi, Corrado Gisonni, Gaetano Crispino, Thierry Fuchsmann

Vortex drop shafts serve to overcome important elevation differences in drainage systems. If well designed, they are performant in terms of energy dissipation and safety. However, the standard design requires well-defined approach flow conditions to ensure ...
