Development of reaction calorimetry applied to supercritical CO2 and methanol-CO2 critical mixture

Frédéric Lavanchy

The combination of reaction calorimetry and supercritical fluids as reactants and/or solvent holds great potential for the optimization of chemical processes using high pressure near-critical and/or supercritical mixtures. The very specific properties of s ...

Supercritical reaction calorimetry: A novel route to supercritical fluid reaction monitoring

Thierry Meyer, Charalampos Mantelis, Frédéric Lavanchy

Supercrit. fluids (SCFs) were intensively studied in the last decade as alternative, environment-friendly benign reaction solvents. A new anal. technique was derived from a combination of classical heat flow reaction calorimetry and the supercrit. fluid te ...

Integrated LTCC micro-fluidic modules - an SMT flow sensor

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Yannick Sébastien Fournier, Raphael Willigens

This paper presents a thermal flow sensor based on the calorimetric principle realized by using low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology, where the tapes and flow channel have been structured by laser machining. A standard configuration of a calo ...

Irradiation-induced phase transformation in undeformed and deformed NiTi shape memory thin films by high-energy ion beams

Irradiation-induced transformations in sputter-deposited Ti-rich NiTi thin films have been investigated with special attention given to the effects of prior deformation on the response of martensite phase. Irradiation at low fluence was carried out at room ...

Interface-solvent effects during colloidal phase transitions

Sylvie Roke

We have compared calorimetric measurements with the nonlinear optical technique vibrational sum frequency scattering to investigate interface-solvent effects in colloidal gelation transitions. This allows us to explain the difference in gelation behaviour ...

Development of a novel microreactor-based calorimeter for the study of fast exothermal reactions in liquid phase

Marie-Agnès Schneider

Following several tragic chemical accidents that have occurred in recent years, some directives concerning chemical process safety have been issued. The Seveso directive, for example, requires a precise description of the consequences of a possible chemica ...

Reaction calorimetry in supercritical carbon dioxide - methodology development

Thierry Meyer, Sophie Fortini, Frédéric Lavanchy

Reaction calorimetry is an efficient tool used to obtain kinetic, thermodn. and safety data. A reaction calorimeter, RC1e-HP350, developed in collaboration with Mettler-Toledo GmbH, allows investigating chem. reactions under supercrit. conditions. The main ...

A new tool for the study of polymerization under supercritical conditions - preliminary results

Thierry Meyer, Sophie Fortini, Philip Nising, Frédéric Lavanchy

Efficient stirring is needed to realize heat flow anal. with a thermally homogeneous medium. Because dispersion polymn. with supercrit. fluids can be destabilized under stirring, a preliminary target has been to find a compromise between synthesis and basi ...
