TY - CONF A1 - Abad Andrade, Carlos Enrique T1 - Stable isotope analysis of magnesium by optical spectrometry N2 - Magnesium is a naturally occurring element that can be found in several mineral forms in the earth crust. This element presents three stable isotopes 24Mg, 25Mg and 26Mg with a natural abundance of 79%, 10%, and 11% respectively. It is due to their relatively large mass difference (~8% between 24Mg and 26Mg) that isotope fractionation leads to slight isotope amount ratio variations n(26Mg)/n(24Mg) in biological and geological samples. Traditionally, isotope amount ratios have been measured by mass spectrometric methods. However, drawbacks of these methods include the high costs for instruments and their operation, experienced operators and elaborate chromatographic sample preparation which are time-consuming. Recently, optical spectrometric methods have been proposed as faster and low-cost alternative for the analysis of isotope ratios of selected elements by means of high-resolution continuum source graphite furnace molecular absorption spectrometry (HR-CS-GFMAS) and laser ablation molecular isotopic spectrometry (LAMIS). For the determination of Mg isotope amount ratios, the molecular spectrum of the in-situ generated MgF and MgO molecules were studied. In the case of HR-CS-GFMAS, the absorption spectrum was recorded for MgF for the electronic transitions X 2Σ → A 2 Πi and X 2Σ → B 2Σ+ around wavelengths 358 nm and 268 nm respectively. In the case of LAMIS, it was studied the MgF molecule for the electronic transitions A 2Πi → X 2Σ as well as the MgO molecule for the electronic transition A 1Π+ → X 1Σ around 500 nm. The MgF and MgO spectra are composed by the linear combination of their isotopic components or isotopologues: 24MgF, 25MgF, and 26MgF for the MgF and 24MgO, 25MgO, and 26MgO for the MgO (F is monoisotopic, and the isotope composition of O is assumed as constant). By HR-CS-GFMAS the analysis of Mg was done by deconvolution of the MgF spectrum by a partial least square regression (PLS) calibrated with enriched isotope spikes. The isotope amount ratios in rock samples with and without matrix separation were analyzed. Resulting delta values were obtained with precisions ranging between 0.2-0.5 ‰. On the other hand, LAMIS allows the direct analysis of solid samples with the extended possibility of in-situ analysis. Main advantages, limitations, and scopes of both optical techniques are going to be discussed and compared with MC-ICP-MS.

A PLS model was built and calibrated with enriched isotope spikes and certified reference materials. Spectra data was preprocessed by a derivate of second order and venetian blinds cross-validation was employed for finding the optimum latent variables. Finally, the model was refined by a genetic algorithm which identified the best subset of variables for a precise and accurate regression. Results are compatible with those obtained by MC-ICP-MS with an accuracy of ± 0.3‰ with uncertainties ranging between 0.02 to 0.6‰.

Results were accurate with precisions ranging between 0.2 ‰ and 0.8 ‰ (2 SD, n= 10) for HR-CS-GFMAS. No statistically significant differences were observed for samples w/o matrix extraction. On the other hand, LAMIS allows the direct analysis of solid samples with the extended possibility of direct analysis, however the precision is lower due the lack of solid isotopic calibration standards.

Sulfur has to be extracted to meet ultra-low sulfur legislation for most of the fuel grades, and desalination is a crucial process as chlorine within salts is corrosive to refinery equipment. Measuring the amounts of sulfur and chlorine within crude oil is the first step in a complex clean-up process. Heavy metals, such as vanadium, nickel and iron need to be removed too. These metals can poison the catalyst used to crack the oil into lighter fractions. This is costly as it reduces the useful life of the catalyst. Like chlorine, heavy metals also have a corrosive effect on the plant. There is some evidence that the presence of some metals in the final product can reduce performance. A fast determination of elements and size of suspended particles is vital for diagnosis and safeguard of refinery equipment. However, sample preparation for current analytical methods consumes precious time and lost particle size information. High-resolution continuum source graphite furnace absorption spectrometry (HR-CS-GFAS) is proposed as a fast analytical method for elemental determination in crude oils and potentially for simultaneous multielement and particle size analysis. This HR-CS-GFAS instrumentation is coupled to a modular simultaneous echelle spectrometer (MOSES) and provides a full optical window with high resolution (from 180 to 900 nm with bandwidth λ/170,000). By using this set-up, it is possible to generate a multiparameter 3D spectral image (atomic and molecular lines, isotopic shift, atomization delay, and intensities). The generated spectral images can be analyzed by multivariate regressions for the elemental and particle size analysis. Additionally, if several atomic and molecular lines are simultaneously measured, they may be used in multi-energy calibration (MEC), a method based on the use of many wavelengths of the same absorbing/emitting entity to improve the accuracy in analytical atomic spectrometry. This MEC approach combined with multivariate image analysis allows the quantification of selected elements (Si, Al, Ni, Fe, V, S, and Cl) and overcomes matrix effects.

T1 - Synthesis of new bio based adsorbent phases N2 - Over the years, industrial and human activities and agricultural practices have caused a serious threat to human health and the environment. Indeed, it has been demonstrated that these activities are responsible for the presence of pollutants in the soil, air and water. Water is one of the most strategic issues today, as it is associated with the living world. Therefore, water pollution is becoming a universal scourge that leads to environmental degradation, decrease of water quality and threatens public health. Water pollution is mainly due to the discharge of certain harmful chemical compounds that are not very or not at all biodegradable (phenolic compounds, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, dyes, pesticides, etc.) by various industries: chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, food processing, etc. The impact of these industrial effluents on fauna and flora is very harmful. A sensitization of the socio-economic actors and the public, accompanied by a severe regulation in relation to the discharges, would contribute to fight against this drift, but also, by the development of effective methods allowing to remove these pollutants, not only in an analytical purpose but also of depollution. Thus and within the framework of the preservation of an environment with regard to any anthropogenic activity, our research topic relates to the use of original biosourced polymeric phases for the extraction of the organic compounds and the heavy metals in aqueous mediums. Therefore, we have proceeded to the synthesis and characterization of a large variety of monomers, polymers and cross-linked materials. These products, partially derived from biomass, contain various functional groups with the ability to interact with chemical components without discriminating effect. The developed polymer phases have been successfully used for the adsorption of some organic pollutants and heavy metals in synthetic aqueous solutions. T2 - 12. Journees maghreb-europe.

One potential candidate is the intermetallic material class of iron aluminides, combining the advantages in mass savings, high temperature performance and recyclability of resources. The alloy Fe-26Al-4Mo-0.5Ti-1B was selected to study the microstructural features evolving from two casting processes, five wall thicknesses and three final conditions. Conclusions are drawn upon the correlations of processing variables, grain sizes and hardness.

According to first results, the alloy Fe-26Al-4Mo-0.5Ti-1B surpasses conventional materials in wet corrosion resistance and creep resistance up to 650 °C. For these reasons, the AiF research project “WAFEAL – Materials applications for iron aluminides” was initiated to transfer these findings into a standardised materials dataset and to derive best practices for processing. In the first place, a set of different microstructures adjusted by varying casting methods, wall thicknesses and heat treatments was investigated and correlated with hardness on macro and micro scale. Correlations were drawn between solidification rates and resulting grain sizes and hardness. The effect of vacancy hardening was only verified for wall thickness as low as 2.5 mm. Moreover, a common decrease of macrohardness after a heat treatment at 1000 °C for 100 h was observed irrespective of casting process or wall thickness. This effect was linked with an unexpected decrease of the complex boride phase fraction which acts as a hardening phase.

One possibility within the class of intermetallics are iron aluminides, which combine sustainability and cost-efficiency with the prospect of mass savings. Iron aluminides show competitive specific strength up to 700 °C and excellent creep and wet corrosion resistance by small additions of Mo, Ti and B. Nevertheless, a Mo content of above 2 at.% which is needed for optimum corrosion resistance results in enhanced brittleness, especially at room temperature. This is why alloys with these Mo fractions were only mechanically tested under compressive loading so far. Still, testing of static and creep properties under tensile loading is required for reliable component design. Besides high standards for crack-free processing, data acquisition for tensile loads is especially complicated by environmental embrittling effects for iron aluminides. To cope with these challenges, the AiF research project “WAFEAL – Materials applications for iron aluminides” was initiated. The main goal is to collect standardised data on ambient and high-temperature tensile properties and creep properties. Samples with a nominal composition of Fe-26Al-4Mo-0.5Ti-1B [at.%] were manufactured via centrifugal casting in ceramic shell moulds followed by machining. Heat treatment for homogenisation and final polishing were carried out where appropriate. A summary of the achieved tensile and creep properties such as yield and tensile strength, maximum elongation, secondary creep rate and stress exponents will be given. Results will be also discussed regarding the influence of temperature, stress level and microstructure on the damage mechanisms. Furthermore, the effect of different alloy concentrations on the mechanical response at different temperatures will be outlined within a small experimental series.

T1 - Materials Applications FeAl (WAFEAL) N2 - The increasing importance of resource availability and closed-loop material cycles are driving materials research to reduce alloying content in conventional materials or even substitute them with more sustainable alternatives. Intermetallic iron aluminide alloys (FeAl) present a potential alternative. Many alloy concepts for improved high-temperature properties or ductility have already been successfully implemented in casting technologies on a laboratory scale. However, successful testing of FeAl alloys on an industrial scale was still pending at the beginning of the project. Therefore, the aim of the project was to develop simulation-based casting concepts for industrial casting processes using the base alloy Fe-26Al-4Mo-0.5Ti-1B and to narrow down process limits by means of hot cracking tests. Findings were transferred into practice-oriented guidelines for casting of iron aluminides, which is accessible to future applicants in SMEs. The focus was placed on centrifugal casting combined with investment casting or die casting. In addition to numerous design and casting process parameters, heat treatments and alloying additions (Al, Mo, B) were varied to determine the influence of alloying elements on castability, microstructure and mechanical properties. Data from microstructure analyses (microscopic imaging, determination of grain sizes as well as phase compositions and volume fractions, fractography), mechanical tests (hardness measurements, compression tests, ambient and high-temperature tensile tests, creep tests) as well as measurements of thermophysical properties could be generated on the base alloy. Correlations of materials data with process variables allowed conclusions to be drawn on strengthening mechanisms and ductility of the alloy and how they can be controlled in terms of processing and component design. Successful casting of highly complex components with thin wall thicknesses and optimised alloy compositions points out prospects for new fields of application.

Die Einsatzgebiete erstrecken sich vom Witterungsschutz von Bauwerken über haftvermittelnde Eigenschaften in der Glasfaserindustrie, bei Dicht- und Klebstoffen, in Farben und Lacken bis hin zur Modifizierung von polymeren Werkstoffen. Kommerzielle Benchtop-NMR-Spektrometer haben das Potential auch im Bereich der Silanchemie als Online-Methode zur Reaktionsüberwachung und für die Qualitätskontrolle eingesetzt zu werden. Interessante NMR-Kerne für die oben genanntem Produkte sind 1H und 29Si. In einer gemeinsamen Forschungskooperation zwischen EVONIK und BAM wurde anhand verschiedener Fallstudien die Anwendbarkeit der Niederfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie zur chemischen Analyse von Silanen evaluiert. Im Zuge der Fallstudien wurde gezeigt, wie Niederfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie die Möglichkeiten der Konzentrationsmessung auf neue Anwendungsgebiete erweitert, in denen bestehende Technologien wie z. B. NIR, Raman, UV/VIS, etc. mangels Referenzdaten nicht quantitativ eingesetzt werden können. Fallstudie 1: Oligomerisierung Eine Fallstudie setzte dazu an, den Hydrolyse- und Kondensationsverlauf mit einer geeigneten Online-NMR-Analytik zu beobachten, den Reaktionsfortschritt der Hydrolyse und Kondensation auf dieser Basis besser zu verstehen und zu optimieren. Zu diesem Zweck werden durch Zugabe von Wasser zunächst die Alkoxysubstituenten eines Trialkoxysilans hydrolysiert und entsprechende Silanole gebildet. Diese können dann über eine SiOH-Funktion an den zu modifizierenden Werkstoff anbinden und über weitere Silanolgruppen unter Ausbildung von Siloxaneinheiten vernetzen. Fallstudie 2: Spaltung von cyclischen Silanverbindungen In einer weiteren Fallstudie wurde die Kinetik der Aufspaltungen einer cyclischen Silanverbindung untersucht. Die Online-NMR-Analytik kam hierbei sowohl im Labor als auch in der industriellen Produktionsanlage zum Einsatz. Hierfür wurde eine vollständig automatisierte Einhausung verwendet, welche den Einsatz eines kommerziellen NMR-Spektrometers in explosionsgeschützten Bereichen ermöglicht. Fallstudie 3: Qualitätskontrolle für Produktmischungen von Trialkoxysilanen Für Produktmischungen eines Trialkoxysilans und weiteren Bestandteilen wie u. a. org. Stabilisatoren, Organozinnverbindungen, eines aromatischen Amins und org. Peroxide wurden quantitative 1H-Spektren akquiriert und eine automatische Auswertungsmethode basierend auf Indirect Hard Modeling (IHM) entwickelt. Für die Nebenkomponenten, deren Stoffmengenanteile bis zu 3 Mol-% betragen, wurden durch die zugrunde gelegte Methode typischerweise korrekte experimentelle Stoffmengenanteile gefunden, die weniger als 0,2 Mol-% vom Referenzwert abweichen.

To help address this challenge, an expert system was developed to assist non-specialists in screening internal pipeline corrosion failures due to MIC related threats. To accomplish this, 15 MIC subject matter experts (with a total of 355 man-years of accumulated MIC based experience) were recruited to evaluate a total of 65 MIC failure cases based on real-life scenarios. These case study parameters and the expert elicited results were input into an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model to create a model system which can screen whether a given failure scenario is one of three outcomes: a) failure is likely due to MIC, b) failure is likely not due to MIC, or c) the conclusion is inconclusive (analysis needs more data/information). The model system had an overall accuracy of 74.8%and it showcases that knowledge from subject matter experts can be captured in a reasonably effective way to screen for possible MIC failures. Based on that, this presentation will provide details of the model development process and key results to date. Important considerations regarding the level of confidence of the diagnoses and variation between expert opinion will also be discussed alongside with ideas on how to improve the model for field applicability.

Fatigue has been investigated for years for steel structures. However, recent findings suggest that concrete structures may also be significantly subjected to the fatigue phenomena that could lead to premature failure of certainfatigue prone structural elements. To date, fatigue of reinforced concrete has been given little focus. and Kknowledge on the influence factors and durability/capacity effects on this material should be improved. Current technological means to measure fatigue in civil structures like bridges and wind turbines (both onshore and offshore) are outdated, imprecise and inappropriate. Meanwhile, this topic has got much more attention as dynamic loading on concrete structures plays an increasing role, e.g. in bridges with increasing traffic and heavier trucks, in wind energy production due to inherent vibrations e.g. in offshore wind turbine support structures affected by wind and waves. The European Innovative Training Networks (ITN) Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions project INFRASTAR (Innovation and Networking for Fatigue and Reliability Analysis of Structures - Training for Assessment of Risk) provides research training for 12 PhD students. The project aims to improve knowledge for optimizing the design of new structures as well as for more realistic verification of structural safety and more accurate prediction of the remaining fatigue lifetime of existing structures. First, the INFRASTAR research framework is detailed. Then it will be exemplified through the presentation of the major results of the four PhD students involved in the work package dealing with auscultation and monitoring. This includes the development and improvement of Fiber Optics (FO) and Coda Wave Interferometry (CWI) for crack sizing and imagery, new sensor technologies and integration, information management, monitoring strategy for fatigue damage investigation and lifetime prediction.

Furthermore, the European Commission’s REACH Regulations require the registration of nanomaterials traded in quantities of at least 1 ton. Powders or dispersions where 50% (number distribution) of the constituent particles have sizes ≤ 100 nm in at least one dimension are defined as nanomaterials. This creates a need for industrial manufacturers and research or analytical service facilities to reliably characterize potential nanomaterials. Currently, BAM is developing reference nanoparticles, which shall expand the scarce list of worldwide available nano reference materials certified for particle size distribution and will also target other key parameters like shape, structure, porosity or functional properties. In this respect, materials like iron oxide or titanium dioxide are considered as candidates to complement the already available silica, Au, Ag, and polystyrene reference nanoparticles. The thermal decomposition of iron oleate precursors in high boiling organic solvents can provide large quantities of iron oxide nanoparticles that can be varied in size and shape.[1, 2] The presence of oleic acid or other hydrophobic ligands as capping agents ensures stable dispersion in nonpolar solvents. Such monodisperse, spherical particles were synthesized at BAM and pre-characterized by electron microscopy (TEM, SEM including the transmission mode STEM-in-SEM) and dynamic light scattering comparing cumulants analysis and frequency power spectrum. 1. REACH regulations and nanosafety concerns create a strong need for nano reference materials with diverse properties. 2. Iron oxide nanoparticles are under development as new candidate reference material at BAM. 3. Narrow particle size distribution confirmed by light scattering and electron microscopy.
