Determining The Potential Of Salinity Gradient Energy Source Using An Exergy Analysis

Mixing of fresh (river) water and salty water (seawater or saline brine) in a control fashion would produces an electrical energy known as salinity gradient energy (SGE). Two main conversion technologies of SGE are membrane-based processes; pressure retard ...

Approximation numérique des écoulements turbulents dans des cuves d'électrolyse de l'aluminium

Jonathan Rochat

Aluminium is a metal extracted from bauxite ore using electrolysis process in cells of big size. A huge electric current goes in the cell through an electrolytic bath and aluminium liquid. These currents generate strong magnetic forces that allow the bath ...

Study of Hypochlorite Reduction Related to the Sodium Chlorate Process

Michael Markus Busch

Reduction of hypochlorite is the most important side reaction in the sodium chlorate reactor leading to high energy losses. Today chromate is added to the reactor solution to minimize the hypochlorite reduction but a replacement is necessary due to health ...

A rational synthesis of hierarchically porous, N-doped carbon from Mg-based MOFs: understanding the link between nitrogen content and oxygen reduction electrocatalysis

Ning Yan, Pierre Mettraux

Controlled mixtures of novel Mg-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were prepared, with H+ or K+ as counterions. A linear relation was found between synthesis pH and K/H ratio in the resultant mixture, establishing the tunability of the synthesis. Upon p ...

Fine structuration of low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) microreactors

Albert Renken, Paul Muralt, Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas Maeder, Bo Jiang, Julien Haber

The development of microreactors that operate under harsh conditions is always of great interest for many applications. Here we present a microfabrication process based on low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for producing microreactors which ...

Textured BaTiO3 by templated grain growth and electrophoretic deposition

Dragan Damjanovic

[001]-Oriented barium titanate (BaTiO3) ceramics were prepared by templated grain growth using [001]-oriented plate-like template BaTiO3 particles, synthesized via the molten salt method. Platelets synthesized in a 2-step or 3-step molten salt were used in ...

Structural characterization of eutectic aqueous NaCl solutions under variable temperature and pressure conditions

Richard Gaal, Livia Eleonora Bove Kado

The structure of amorphous NaCl solutions produced by fast quenching is studied as a function of pressure, up to 4 GPa, by combined neutron diffraction experiments and classical molecular dynamics simulations. Similarly to LiCl solutions the system amorphi ...
