Improved methodology for analysis and design of Molten Salt Reactors

Molten Salt Reactors is a class of advanced reactors that is typically characterised by the presence of a molten inorganic salt of a fissile material as fuel. At the moment, this class of reactors is considered one of the promising options in the long run ...

Anion Selection Criteria for Water-in-Salt Electrolytes

Corsin Battaglia, David Reber, Maximilian Becker

Water-in-salt electrolytes have enabled the development of novel high-voltage aqueous lithium-ion batteries. This study explores the reasons why analogous sodium electrolytes have struggled to reach the same level of electrochemical stability. Solution str ...

Conceptual Design of a Sustainable Waste Burning Molten Salt Reactor

Boris Aviv Hombourger

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 ...

The Gaia-ESO Survey: properties of newly discovered Li-rich giants

Carmela Lardo

Aims. We report 20 new lithium-rich giants discovered within the Gaia-ESO Survey, including the first Li-rich giant with an evolutionary stage confirmed by CoRoT (Convection, Rotation and planetary Transits) data. We present a detailed overview of the prop ...

Intensification of highly exothermic fast reaction by multi-injection microstructured reactor

Albert Renken, John Richard Thome, Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas Maeder, Navid Borhani, Bo Jiang, Julien Haber

Microstructured reactors (MSR) with characteristic dimensions below 100 μm are warranted to maintain close to isothermal conditions when carrying out quasi-instantaneous highly exothermic reactions. Unfortunately, such small dimensions increase the risk of ...

Micro-batch reactor for catching intermediates and monitoring kinetics of rapid and exothermic homogeneous reactions

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Madhvanand Namadeo Kashid, Petra Prechtl, Olivier Détraz, Mireia Santacana Moya

The mechanism and kinetics of rapid and exothermic reactions is difficult to study using conventional offline techniques. This paper deals with experimental investigations of highly exothermic and fast model reaction (cyclisation of pseudoionone) using slu ...

Effect of hot spots in microstructured reactors on product distribution during quasi-instantaneous exothermic reactions

Albert Renken, John Richard Thome, Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas Maeder, Navid Borhani, Bo Jiang, Julien Haber

Background. The small characteristic sizes (in the range of 102 - 103 μm) of Microstructured reactors (MSR) lead to very high specific interfacial area which, in turn, increases heat- and mass transfer efficiency. However, for quasi instantaneous exothermi ...

Heat Management for Process Intensification of Fast Exothermic Reactions in Microstructured Reactors

Julien Haber

Nowadays, the production in fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry is mostly carried out in large scale batch reactors having typically dimensions of a few meters to satisfy the demand of the market. Even though this technology has been widely used and ...

Heat Management in Single and Multi-injection Microstructured Reactors: Scaling Effects, Stability Analysis, and Role of Mixing

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Madhvanand Namadeo Kashid, Julien Haber

The exothermic reactions with fast intrinsic kinetics when carried out in conventional reactors are often limited by heat transfer. This results in the formation of hot spots, which affects product distribution of complex reactions and may lead to reactor ...
