T1 - Origin of High Mg and SO4 Fluids in Sediments of the Terceira Rift, Azores‐Indications for Caminite Dissolution in a Waning Hydrothermal System N2 - During R/V Meteor cruise 141/1, pore fluids of near surface sediments were investigated to find indications for hydrothermal activity in the Terceira Rift (TR), a hyperslow spreading center in the Central North Atlantic Ocean. To date, submarine hydrothermal fluid venting in the TR has only been reported for the D. João de Castro seamount, which presently seems to be inactive. Pore fluids sampled close to a volcanic cone at 2,800‐m water depth show an anomalous composition with Mg, SO4, and total alkalinity concentrations significantly higher than seawater and a nearby reference core. The most straightforward way of interpreting these deviations is the dissolution of the hydrothermally formed mineral caminite (MgSO4 0.25 Mg (OH)2 0.2H2O). This interpretation is corroborated by a thorough investigation of fluid isotope systems (δ26Mg, δ30Si, δ34S, δ44/42Ca, and 87Sr/86Sr). Caminite is known from mineral assemblages with anhydrite and forms in hydrothermal recharge zones only under specific conditions such as high fluid temperatures and in altered oceanic crust, which are conditions generally met at the TR. We hypothesize that caminite was formed during hydrothermal activity and is now dissolving during the waning state of the hydrothermal system, so that caminite mineralization is shifted out of its stability zone. Ongoing fluid circulation through the basement is transporting the geochemical signal via slow advection toward the seafloor.

T1 - Particle Interactions in Silica Systems in Presence of Superplasticizer N2 - The flowability of cement paste is of great importance in today’s construction industry and is influenced by additives such as superplasticizers (SP). One type of SPs are polycarboxylate ether type SPs. These additives electrostatically bind with the negatively charged carboxylic groups at the backbone to the positively charged clinker phases. To model positively charged clinker phases with adsorbed SP, silicon Wafers are pre-coated with cationic polyethylenimine (PEI) and SP is adsorbed onto the coated surface (Si/PEI/SP). Two different polycarboxylate ether type (PCE) SP are compared – one for ready-mix concrete and one for precast concrete. In this preliminary study the interaction forces between Si/PEI/SP surface and a silica microsphere (colloidal probe) are investigated under mild physico-chemical conditions (pH *6, ion concentration <10−5 M) using Colloidal Probe Atomic Force Microscopy (CP-AFM). The interaction force between the model surfaces is attractive for low concentration of SP. The force changes from attractive to repulsive by increasing amount of SP. The force upon approach reveals a biexponential behavior. The exponential decay at large and short surface separations are attributed to electrostatic and steric interactions, respectively. The steric forces of the SP for ready-mix concrete show a steeper onset than the SP for precast concrete. The quantification of these interaction forces will be compared to rheological measurements of similar systems. Furthermore, the parameters will be changed to better approach the conditions in real systems, i.e. higher pH and ionic strength. This helps to understand how the forces on the nanoscale influence the macroscopic rheology.

In addition, growing urbanisation and environmental pollution cause challenges to societies. With increasing velocity, humanity faces that the current way of living is not sustainable. Thus, habitat,infrastructure, urbanisation, environment and sustainability are definitively among the most striking challenges of the 21st century. By consulting, planning, building, maintaining, exploiting and processing of global resources, civil engineers contribute significantly to the existence of these challenges. This is a high responsibility, but due to the heavy involvement, together with adjacent disciplines such as architecture, geosciences, chemistry, physics, environmental sciences and economics, civil engineers also hold the key to mitigate these challenges and provide a brighter global future. Solutions towards greener, more sustainable and economically viable materials do exist, and there is ongoing research on how greener technologies can contribute to better livelihood and economic growth, but their level of implementation is limited, a major reason for which is that these approaches require more fundamental understanding rather than standard application.

This puts pressure on urban planners but also politics to develop strategies for sustainable city growth. With the rapidly increasing demand for living space in urban areas, cities typically grow vertically. This is largely driven by real estate markets and sometimes also by the desire for status symbols. Certainly, vertical urban growth makes sense, when horizontal growth destroys important flora and Fauna (e.g. in rain forest regions), but in many cases vertical growth is result of real-estate business and Expansion limitation due to state or country borders. However, economics and borders are made by humans. They follow human-made rules. Gravity does not. Therefore, from a point of view of sustainable materials and resourceuse, the trending vertical growth of cities may come under scrutiny. The following aspects should be considered, when a decision is taken between a new quarter with limited number of storeys or a new skyscraper.

C3A as the most reactive phase of Portland cement plays a significant role in early hydration reactions and affects the rheological performance. Therefore, this paper presents experimental results about the influence of delayed addition of PCEs on the Hydration of cement and C3A-gypsum pastes investigated by isothermal heat flow calorimetry. Complementary in-situ XRD was carried out on C3A pastes to analyze hydration and phase changes related to the addition of PCE. Cement pastes with a delayed addition of PCE showed less Retardation compared to simultaneous addition. The alteration caused by PCE is much more pronounced for C3A-gypsum mixes. With a delayed addition of SP, the hydration of C3A is less retarded or even accelerated. It is obvious that there is less retardation the later the addition of SP. Furthermore, the PCE alter the hydration of C3A when added delayed and exhibit changes in kinetics and hydration rates. XRD results showed that more C3A is dissolved in the presence of PCE. Also, the gypsum depletion occurs earlier in the presence of PCE and even faster with delayed addition. Without PCE AFm starts to form just after the gypsum depletion. However, in the presence of PCE AFm already starts to form at the beginning of the hydration. Due to the faster gypsum depletion in the presence of PCE, also the transformation from ettringite into AFm begins earlier, but takes longer as without SP.

They are particularly favoured in rehabilitation of structures due to penetrability and convenience of application. Grouts for repair applications typically require high-performance properties such as rapid strength development and superior shrinkage characteristics. Sometimes industrial by-products referred as supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) are used with neat cement due to their capabilities to provide binding properties at delayed stage. Micro silica, fly ash and metakaolin are such SCMs, those can modify and improve properties of cement products. This study aims at investigating long-term mass loss and linear shrinkage along with long-term compressive and flexural strength for grouts produced from ultrafine cement and SCMs. A series of mixtures were formulated to observe the effect of SCMs on these grout properties. Properties were determined after 365 days of curing at 23oC and 55% relative humidity. The effect of SCMs on the properties are characterised by statistical models. Response surfaces were constructed to quantify these properties in relation to SCMs replacement. The results suggested that shrinkage was reduced by metakaolin, while micro silica and fly ash had positive effects on compressive and flexural strength, respectively.

However, alternatives can be bio-based polymers such as polysaccharides from various sources. These are easily accessible all over the world, do not demand for complicated processing, and typically they are more sustainable than many established materials, which are crude oil-based. The paper presents the effects of acacia gum, cassava starch and the gum of triumfetta pendrata A. Rich on the rheological performance of cementitious systems. It is shown that acacia gum can be as efficient as polycarboxylate based superplasticisers, cassava starch can reduce the yield stress slightly with little effect on the plastic viscosity, and the gum of triumfetta pendrata A.

T1 - Combination of superplasticizers with hydroxypropyl guar, effect on cement-paste properties N2 - Viscosity-modifying agent (VMA) are used in several applications of concrete, such as underwater concrete, Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) or Self-Levelling Underlayments (SLU) in order to improve the washout resistance and the stability. The study focuses on the modifications of cement pastes properties implied when a VMA (hydroxypropyl guars or HPG) and a superplasticizer are introduced together. For reaching this objective, two chemically different polycarboxylate-based superplasticizers (PCE) and two HPGs exhibiting different molar substitution ratios (MSHP), were studied. A method, combining total organic carbon and size exclusion chromatography, was developed in order to quantify the adsorption of the both admixtures. The adsorption of HPGs appears being significantly lowered by the presence of PCE, while only the adsorption of the less charged PCE is slightly affected by the HPG. As consequence, strong modifications of the rheological properties of cement pastes were noticed when HPG and PCE are combined. The desorption of HPG leads to higher yield stress and residual viscosity than with PCE alone.

T1 - Influence of different accelerators on the rheology and early hydration of cement paste N2 - Special applications like pumping, spraying or printing of concrete require the precise adjustment of very specific rheological properties at different time steps during the casting process. Superplasticizers such as polycarboxylate ethers (PCE) can be used to obtain the required flowability, which, possibly in combination with additional rheology modifying admixtures, generate the required specified consistency. However, after the application, the concrete should change the rheological properties immediately in order to avoid deformations at rest. Therefore, the use of accelerators can be effective. Accelerators influence the hydration of cementitious materials, and thus the rheological properties over the course of time and the setting. In this paper, the influence of different accelerators on the rheology and early hydration of cement paste as well as the interaction of accelerator and PCE are presented. Methods like rheometry, needle penetration tests and practical Tests like spread flow were applied. The used accelerators showed accelerating behavior on the cement pastes without and in the presence of PCE. At the same time an influence on the rheology could be observed. This effect was less in the mixes with PCE, especially at the highest water/cement ratio (w/c).

T1 - Rheological properties of silica beads in the presence of different polymers and electrolyte N2 - Properties of interstitial liquid phase in cement paste, including the species and concentrations of polymers and ion etc., play an important role for the rheological properties of cementitious materials. In order to better understand their effect, an inert model substance, spherical silica beads (SBs) with defined surface and granulometry were used in the presence of electrolytes (CaCl2) and/or different polymers, including polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) and polyethylene glycol (PEG). It was found the presence of Ca2+ greatly increases the viscosity and yield stress of silica beads paste (SBP), which is proportional to the [Ca2+]. For the effect of PCE, the addition of PCE is beneficial to the flowability of SBP, but a high dosage of PCE leads to a reversal effect. Furthermore, the yield stress firstly increases and then decreases with increasing [Ca2+] under the same dosage of PCE. The addition of PEG always increases the yield stress of SBP, regardless of the ion concentration and the presence or not of PCE.

Microfine cements are intensively used for high strength mortar and grout products. They are ideal for injection grouting in structural repair. Such grouts should have suitable rheological properties to be injectable, especially those used in repair and rehabilitation. The use of superplasticizers (SP) in these products is thus becoming increasingly crucial to achieve favorable workability and viscosity properties. A difficulty in such grouts is the plastic shrinkage due to finer particles used. It is thus necessary to determine optimum SP and shrinkage reducing admixture (SRA) dosages for a microfine cement based grout. In this study, a saturation dosage was decided from two Polycarboxylate ether (PCE) based SPs in relation to neat cement using slump flow and rheological parameters. A range of grout mixtures was formulated containing micro silica (MS) and fly ash (FA), and tested for suitable rheological and mechanical parameters. Based on the results, a grout mixture with MS and FA was selected to determine optimum SRA content. According to the results, a SP dosage of 3% by weight of neat cement is sufficient to achieve saturation. The grout material including MS and FA can produce comparable properties to neat cement grout. MS is found to improve compressive strength within the range considered, whereas a higher FA content provides favourable rheological properties. Finally, a SRA dosage of 4%, which could reduce the shrinkage by about 43% after 28d days, is determined for the grout system.

The particle size (d50) of the starting glass powder was determined at 88 μm and kept constant. The pre-pressed glass pellets were cold-isostatically pressed at 300 MPa to a green density of around 63 %. Density development, phase identification, shrinkage behavior and the microstructure were investigated to determine the sinterability of the developed glasses. The glass powders were sintered at different temperatures inside the processing window while crystallization was monitored. The results have shown that the sinterability of the developed glasses strongly dependsonthe proposed chemical additions.

Methods: In laboratory evolution experiments we culture selected model soil microorganism with representative biocides followed by antibiotic cross-resistance determination and genome sequencing. Moreover, we investigate if the selected biocides affect the HGT frequency of plasmids that carry resistance genes among soil microorganism and the consequences for survival of the affected populations. Results: Our initial results show only small increases of biocide resistance during serial transfers in the presence of biocides. One reason for this might be the narrow selective window for biocide resistance due to steep dose-response relationships. Furthermore, we will present results from ongoing experiments on the effects of material preservatives on HGT frequencies facilitating microbial community adaptation to stress. Conclusions: The results will enable future risk assessment regarding resistance evolution for biocides used as material preservatives.

Die Extrapolation auf technisch relevante Volumina birgt jedoch erhebliche Unsicherheiten. Diese beruhen auf: - Extrapolation über mehrere Größenordnungen, - Limitierungen der verwendeten Extrapolationsmethode (enge Start- und Randbedingungen), - dem unterschiedlichen Temperaturniveau der Laborversuche im Vergleich zu technischen Lagerungen, insbesondere der Einfluss des enthaltenen Wassers, - nicht eindeutige Kriterien für Zündung/Nichtzündung, - Einfluss verschiedener Extrapolationsverfahren, - mit Hilfe von Laborversuchen nicht erfassbarer Reaktionen (Niedertemperaturoxidationen, Zersetzung, Autokatalyse etc.), - Streuungen der Messergebnisse. Diese Unsicherheiten zu verringern ist Inhalt des vorgestellten Forschungsprojektes. Hauptziele des Projektes sind daher, die im Labormaßstab vorhandenen Prüfeinrichtungen durch einen Versuchsstand zur Untersuchung von Probengrößen von bis zu 1000 dm3 zu erweitern, die Eignung (oder Nichteignung) der etablierten Methoden nachzuweisen und im Labormaßstab nicht erfassbare Einflussgrößen zu ermitteln. Zudem sollen anhand der kleinskaligen Tests Entscheidungskriterien abgeleitet werden, ob eine Extrapolation nach den derzeit üblichen Methoden zulässig ist. Erste Ergebnisse des Projektes bestätigen, dass die Bestimmung des Selbstentzündungsverhaltens von Stäuben und Schüttgütern und insbesondere die Ermittlung reaktionskinetischer Daten mit erheblichen Unsicherheiten behaftet sind. Sowohl Warmlagefungsversuche im Labormaßstab als auch mit Hilfe verschiedener Methoden ausgewertete thermoanalytische Methoden lassen, insbesondere einzeln betrachtet, zum Teil nur bedingt verlässliche Aussagen über das Selbstentzündungsverhalten großer Schüttungen zu. Vollständige Versuchsreihen unter Nutzung aller vorgestellten Untersuchungsmethoden sollen präsentiert und abhängig vom Probenmaterial - Schlussfolgerungen hinsichtlich der Zulässigkeit der Extrapolationsmethoden diskutiert werden.

T1 - Theoretical and numerical study on ignition behaviour of coal dust layers on a hot surface with corrected kinetic parameters N2 - Industrial fires and explosions initiating from self-ignition of combustible porous dust deposits represent a serious hazard for human beings, environment and industry. Understanding the fundamental basis of combustible dust ignition behaviours at different geometries is of importance to prevent and mitigate the accidental risks. A correlation of self-ignition temperatures (SITs) measured by hot-oven tests and minimum ignition temperatures of dust layers (MITLs) determined by hot-plate tests has been established previously. However, this analogy approach based on Frank-Kamenetzkii model is limited by ignoring the influence of oxygen diffusion. In this work, an improved method is developed by implementing a correction factor for the pre-exponential factor caused by the boundary geometry. This method is testified by comparing with experimental data, previous analogy method and numerical simulation. Results show that our proposed method performs a better predictability of MITLs and simplicity. The improved analogy method indicates that the different boundary geometries of a dust deposit significantly impact the apparent pre-exponential factor, while have an ignorable influence on the activation energy, which is also verified by numerical investigations. Furthermore, the numerical model with the corrected kinetic parameters provides a satisfactory explanation compared with experimental observations regarding to temperature and concentration evolutions of dust layers.

Von besonderer Bedeutung für die Wirksamkeit der Deflagrationsrohrsicherung ist der Einbauort. Diesbezügliche Abweichungen von den normativen Anforderungen, die Grundlage der Prüfung und Zulassung von Deflagrationsrohrsicherungen sind, können zum Versagen der Sicherheitseinrichtung führen. Oft lassen sich allerdings aus betrieblichen bzw. verfahrenstechnischen Gründen der Norm entsprechende Einbaubedingungen nur schwer oder nicht realisieren. Deshalb besteht das Ziel der Untersuchungen eines F&E-Vorhabens mit der Braunschweiger Flammenfilter GmbH darin, einen Beitrag zur Schaffung einer belastbaren Datenbasis zu leisten, um den Einfluss von Rohrleitungsverzweigungen auf deflagrative Gasexplosionen systematisch zu bewerten.

Diese in Rohren verbauten Armaturen sind durchlässig für das jeweils zu transportierende Produkt, verhindern jedoch den Durchtritt von Flammen. Zum Einsatz kommen Flammendurchschlagsicherungen neben großchemischen Anlagen auch beim Transport von Treibstoffen oder an Tankstellen. Die derzeitige Norm zur Prüfung von Flammendurchschlagsicherungen (DIN EN ISO 16852) basiert nur auf Erkenntnissen aus atmosphärischen Tests. Zur Anwendung von Flammendurchschlagsicherungen bei erhöhten Ausgangsdrücken wird ein Verfahren benötigt, das die sichere und reproduzierbare Baumusterprüfung von Flammendurchschlagsicherungen auf ihre Wirksamkeit gegen Explosionen bei nicht-atmosphärischen Bedingungen erlaubt. Dies wiederum führt zu einer höheren Sicherheit und Verfügbarkeit beim Umgang mit brennbaren Stoffen in der Industrie. T2 - 14.

T1 - Untersuchungen zur Belastung von Deflagrationsrohrsicherungen in Rohrleitungsverzweigungen N2 - Im 2. Teil des Artikels zu den Untersuchungen zum Einfluss von Rohrleitungsverzweigungen auf die Wirksam­keit von Deflagrationsrohrsicherungen (s. a. [1]) werden die Ergebnisse der visuellen Beobachtungen des Re­aktionsverlaufes sowie die Belastungen der Flammendurchschlagsicherung (s. Bild 1) bei unterschiedlichen Einbaubedingungen in den Vordergrund gestellt. Gegenübergestellt wird die Belastungssituation der Flam­mensperre in einer geraden und einer verzweigten Rohrleitung. Ausdrücklich wurden Einbaubedingungen gewählt, die nicht Normgerecht [2] sind. Verwendet wurde dafür eine speziell gefertigte Deflagrationsrohrsi­cherung, die eine Beobachtung des Reaktionsverlaufs im Bereich der spiralförmig gewickelten Metallbänder erlaubt. Zusätzlich wurde im geschützten Bereich in der Rohrleitung eine Kamera installiert, die die Belas­tungssituation bei den einzelnen Versuchen dokumentierte. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen sehr eindrucksvoll, dass die Belastungssituation der Deflagrationsrohrsicherung sich in Abhängigkeit von der Konfiguration der Rohrleitung entscheidend ändert.

T1 - High specific surface area ordered mesoporous silica COK-12 with tailored pore size N2 - Ordered mesoporous silica materials such as COK-12, analogous to the well-known SBA-15, are characterized by high surface areas and unique features such as defined pore sizes in the meso-size range and high pore ordering. The aim of this work was to prove the washing step and choice of calcination and aging temperature during the COK-12 synthesis as effective tools in tailoring, markedly improving the specific surface area, pore size, and pore volume. By controlling the aging temperature, the pore size was linearly adjusted between 5.7 and 8.1 nm, while preserving the hexagonal ordering of the pores. The synthesized COK-12 powders possess pore volumes and specific surface areas up to 1.23 cm3 g−1 and 860m2 g−1, respectively, which is markedly higher than what has previously been reported about COK-12. The presented results and the environmentally friendly character of the synthesis will make COK-12 more interesting for future adaption to the industrial processes, for example in catalysis, adsorption, or drug delivery.

The authors were able to control the particle properties by varying synthesis parameters to achieve microscale powders with spherical morphology and a particle size of around 5–10 mm by employing one structure-directing agent. Due to a high Calcium oxide content of 33·6mol% and a phosphorus pentoxide content of 4·0mol%, the powder showed very good bioactivity up to 7 d of immersion in simulated Body fluid. The resulting microspheres are promising materials for a variety of life science applications, as further processing – for example, granulation – is unnecessary. Microspheres can be applied as materials for powder-based additive manufacturing or in stable suspensions for drug release, in bone cements or fillers.
