Aiming at a better understanding of the role of tricalcium Aluminate (C3A) in cement hydration, we assessed the potential of optical spectroscopy in combination with a water-soluble fluorescent organic reporter dye (S0586) to monitor the early hydration of C3A in the presence of 26 wt% CaSO4.2H2O (C3A26G-S) with and without PCE. As optical methods, steady-state fluorescence and diffuse reflectance (UV–VisDR) spectroscopy were employed. Phase characterization and particle size distribution were performed with in-situ X-ray diffraction (in-situ XRD) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Our results show that fluorescence and UV–VisDR spectroscopy can be used to monitor the formation of metastable phases by the disaggregation of the dye S0586 in a cement paste as well as changes in ettringite formation. Addition of PCE slowed down the disaggregation of the dye as reflected by the corresponding changes of the dyes absorption and fluorescence. This prolonged induction period is a well-known side effect of PCEs and agrees with previous reported calorimetric studies and the Inhibition of gypsum dissolution observed by in-situ XRD. This demonstrates that fluorescence and UV–VisDR spectroscopy together with a suitable optical probe can provide deeper insights into the influence of PCE on C3A-gypsum hydration which could be e.g., utilized as screening method for comparing the influences of different types of PCEs.

T1 - A dedicated compression device for high resolution X-ray tomography of compressed gas diffusion layers N2 - We present an experimental approach to study the three-dimensional microstructure of gas diffusion layer (GDL) materials under realistic compression conditions. A dedicated compression device was designed that allows for synchrotron-tomographic investigation of circular samples under well-defined compression conditions. The tomographic data provide the experimental basis for stochastic modeling of nonwoven GDL materials. A plain compression tool is used to study the fiber courses in the material at different compression stages. Transport relevant geometrical parameters, such as porosity, pore size, and tortuosity distributions, are exemplarily evaluated for a GDL sample in the uncompressed state and for a compression of 30 vol.%. To mimic the geometry of the flow-field, we employed a compression punch with an integrated channel-rib-profile. It turned out that the GDL material is homogeneously compressed under the ribs, however, much less compressed underneath the channel. GDL fibers extend far into the channel volume where they might interfere with the convective gas transport and the removal of liquid water from the cell.

Im Rahmen dieses Vorhabens wurden zum einen unterschiedlich thermisch gealterte Composite-Atemluftflaschen systematisch hinsichtlich ihrer Restfestigkeiten untersucht. Zum anderen wurden Lithiumbatterien aus FG hinsichtlich der Einwirkung von kritischen Temperaturen untersucht, ab denen es zu einem thermischen Durchgehen der Batterien kommen kann. Für diese beiden wichtigen Komponenten, Lithiumbatterien und Composite-Atemluftflaschen, wurden kritische Temperatur-Zeit-Profile ermittelt, die Auswirkungen durch geeignete Methodiken untersucht und die sich ergebenden Gefährdungen für den Träger bewertet. Als Methodische Vorgehensweise wurden durch Realversuche die tatsächlichen und zuvor durch Literatur-recherche ermittelten Temperaturprofile verifiziert und auf deren Grundlage die Laborbelastungen abgeleitet. Um den Eigenschaften der aus Faserverbundwerkstoffen hergestellten Composite-Atemluftflaschen Rechnung zu tragen, wurden an zwei repräsentativen Baumustern unterschiedlicher Hersteller Stichprobengruppen unterschiedlicher thermischer Belastung ausgesetzt und hinsichtlich ihrer verbleibenden Restfestigkeitsabnahme geprüft und mit thermisch unbelasteten Baumustern verglichen. Neben den statischen Berstversuchen wurden auch kombinierte Alterungs- und Restfestigkeitsuntersuchungen an zyklisch belasteten Behältern durchgeführt. Die FG wurden thermisch sowohl statischen als auch zyklischen Belastungen ausgesetzt und mit Kapazitätsmessungen begleitet. Die statischen Versuche dienten dem Zweck, die maximale thermische Belastbarkeit der Akkus zu ermitteln, bei der noch kein Versagen auftritt. Bei den zyklischen Versuchen wurde der Temperaturverlauf bei Löscheinsätzen so nah wie möglich im Labor nachgestellt. Hierbei wurden die Akkus wiederholt einem Belastungsprofil mit konstanter Temperatur ausgesetzt und nach einigen Intervallen die Restkapazitäten am Akku gemessen und so die Degradation bestimmt. Als Fazit der im Rahmen dieses Vorhabens durchgeführten Untersuchungen an zwei repräsentativen Baumustern von Atemschutzflaschen kann gefolgert werden, dass die thermischen Belastungen abhängig vom Baumuster einen z.T. deutlichen Einfluss auf die Restfestigkeiten der Atemschutzflaschen haben. Höhere thermische Exposition ist, zumindest an den untersuchten Atemschutzflaschen, deutlich zu erkennen und die Flaschen können durch die zuständigen Gerätewarte leicht ausgesondert und ersetzt werden. Die thermischen Belastungen, wie sie im Rettungseinsatz auftreten, waren für die untersuchten Atemschutzflaschen und die Rettungskräfte nicht kritisch sind. Die langjährige Erfahrung etablierter Hersteller dürfte hier aber nicht ohne Einfluss sein. Es ist somit kein Grund erkennbar, von der Verwendung der leichteren Typ 4 Atemschutzflaschen abzuraten, wenn Atemschutzflaschen, die visuell erkennbare thermische Einwirkungen (Farbänderungen, Materialschmelzungen o.ä.) aufweisen, unmittelbar ersetzt werden. Die Ergebnisse an den FG zeigen, dass trotz hoher Temperaturen keine Selbstentzündung der Lithiumbatterien ausgelöst wird. Der Kapazitätsverlust der Batterien infolge der Belastung führt ebenfalls nicht zu einem Funktionsausfall. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Kapazitätsbestimmung als zuverlässiges und geeignetes Kriterium für die Sicherheitsbewertung der Akkus herangezogen werden kann, wenn die Kapazitätsmessung bei gleichbleibenden Bedingungen (gleiche Raumtemperaturen, gleiche Messgeräte, etc.) stattfindet. Es wird empfohlen, die Akkus ab einer Restkapazität von unter 80% zu tauschen. Als schnelle und sehr einfache Überprüfung kann eine Sichtprüfung an den FG stattfinden. Die im Projekt verwendeten FG zeigten eine Verformung der Kunststoffhülle bei zu hohen Belastungen. N2 - The aim of the project was to determine the influence of the real temperature load on breathing apparatus cylinders and Lithium batteries in radio devices in firefighting operations by rescue services and to be able to better assess their effect on ageing and service life time as well as the potential health hazards and to derive guidelines for action. As part of this project, composite breathing air cylinders that had undergone different thermal ageing processes were systematically analysed with regard to their residual strength. as a second use case, lithium batteries used in radio devices were analysed with regard to the effect of critical temperatures above which thermal runaway of the batteries can occur. Critical temperature-time profiles were determined for these two important components, lithium batteries and composite breathing air cylinders, the effects for the user were analysed using suitable methods and the resulting hazards for the wearer were assessed. As a methodical approach, the actual temperature profiles previously determined by literature research were first verified in real tests and the laboratory loads were derived on this basis. In order to take into account the properties of composite breathing air cylinders made of fibre composites, sample groups were subjected to different thermal loads and examined with regard to their residual strength reduction and in comparison to thermally unloaded samples from two representative samples from different manufacturers. In addition to the static burst tests, combined ageing and residual strength tests were also carried out on cyclic loaded cylinders. The radio devices were subjected to both static and cyclic thermal loads with accompanying capacity measurements. The purpose of the static tests was to determine the maximum thermal load capacity of the batteries at which no failure occurs. In the cyclic tests, practical conditions were simulated as closely as possible in the laboratory. For this purpose, the batteries were repeatedly subjected to a load profile at a constant temperature and the residual capacity of the battery was measured after several intervals to determine the degradation. As a conclusion of the tests carried out on two representative types of breathing apparatus cylinders as part of this project, it can be concluded that the thermal loads have a sometimes significant influence on the residual strength of the breathing apparatus cylinders, depending on the type. Higher thermal exposure is clearly recognizable, at least on the breathing apparatus cylinders tested, and the cylinders can be easily remove and replaced by the responsible equipment maintainers. The thermal loads that occur during rescue operations were not critical for the tested breathing protection cylinders and the rescue teams. However, the many years of experience of established manufacturers should not be without influence here. There is therefore no reason to advise against the use of the lighter Type 4 breathing protection breathing apparatus cylinders if cylinders with visually recognizable thermal effects (color changes, material melting, etc.) are replaced immediately. The results on the radio devices showed that determination of the capacity can serve as a suitable criterion for the safety assessment for the batteries. The loss of capacity of the batteries as a result of the load also does not lead to a functional failure. The capacity determination can be used as a reliable and suitable criterion for the safety assessment of the batteries if the capacity measurement is carried out under constant conditions (same room temperatures, same measuring devices, etc.). It is recommended to replace the batteries when the remaining capacity is below 80%. A visual inspection of the radio devices can be carried out as a quick and very simple check. The radio devices used in the project showed deformation of the plastic casing when subjected to excessive loads.

T1 - Enhancing the eco-efficiency of concrete using engineered recycled mineral admixtures and recycled aggregates N2 - Non-conventional densely packed concrete mixtures are proposed and evaluated in this paper using engineered recycled mineral admixtures and recycled aggregates obtained from steel slag, quartz mining tailings, and quartzite mining tailings. High fines content sand-concretes containing coarser- and finer-than-cement recycled powders were designed to obtain blends with broader particle-size ranges and improved packing density. As a result, compressive strength up to 99 MPa, cement intensity up to 2.33 kg/m³/MPa, and consumption of recycled material up to 95 vol% were obtained. Compressive strengths up to 66 MPa and cement intensity up to 2.34 kg/m³/MPa were also obtained with the addition of coarse aggregates to such sand-concrete mixtures, with consumption of recycled material up to 96.5%. The results launch new insights on the role of recycled admixtures and aggregates on the mixture design of cement-based composites regarding efficiency improvement and technological performance.

T1 - Three-dimensional study of compressed gas diffusion layers using synchrotron X-ray imaging N2 - We present a synchrotron X-ray tomographic study on the morphology of carbon fiber-based gas diffusion layer (GDL) material under compression. A dedicated compression device is used to provide well-defined compression conditions. A flat compression punch is employed to study the fiber geometry at different degrees of compression. Transport relevant geometrical parameters such as porosity, pore size and tortuosity distributions are calculated. The geometric properties notably change upon compression which has direct impact on transport conditions for gas and fluid flow. The availability of broad 3D paths, which are most important for the transport of liquid water from the catalyst layer through the GDL, is markedly reduced after compression. In a second experiment, we study the influence of the channel-land-pattern of the flow-field on shape and microstructure of the GDL. A flow-field compression punch is employed to reproduce the inhomogeneous compression conditions found during fuel cell assembly. While homogenously compressed underneath the land the GDL is much less and inhomogeneously compressed under the channel. The GDL material extends far into the channel volume where it can considerably influence gas and fluid flow. Loose fiber endings penetrate deeply into the channel and form obstacles for the discharge of liquid water droplets.

T1 - Influence of hydrophobic treatment on the structure of compressed gas diffusion layers N2 - Carbon fiber based felt materials are widely used as gas diffusion layer (GDL) in fuel cells. Their transport properties can be adjusted by adding hydrophobic agents such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). We present a synchrotron X-ray tomographic study on the felt material Freudenberg H2315 with different PTFE finishing. In this study, we analyze changes in microstructure and shape of GDLs at increasing degree of compression which are related to their specific PTFE load. A dedicated compression device mimicking the channel-land pattern of the flowfield is used to reproduce the inhomogeneous compression found in a fuel cell. Transport relevant geometrical parameters such as porosity, pore size distribution and geometric tortuosity are calculated and consequences for media transport discussed. PTFE finishing results in a marked change of shape of compressed GDLs: surface is smoothed and the invasion of GDL fibers into the flow field channel strongly mitigated. Furthermore, the PTFE impacts the microstructure of the compressed GDL. The number of available wide transport paths is significantly increased as compared to the untreated material. These changes improve the transport capacity liquid water through the GDL and promote the discharge of liquid water droplets from the cell.

T1 - Mobility particle size spectrometers: Calibration procedures and measurement uncertainties N2 - Mobility particle size spectrometers (MPSS) belong to the essential instruments in aerosol science that determine the particle number size distribution (PNSD)in the submicrometer size range. Following calibration procedures and target uncertainties against standards and reference instruments are suggested for a complete MPSS quality assurance program: a) calibration of the CPC counting efficiency curve (within 5% for the plateau counting efficiency; within 1 nm for the 50% detection efficiency diameter), b) sizing calibration of the MPSS, using a certified polystyrene latex (PSL) particle size standard at 203 nm (within 3%), c) intercomparison of the PNSD of the MPSS (within 10% and 20% of the dN/dlogDP concentration for the particle size range 20 – 200 nm and 200 to 800 nm, respectively), and d) intercomparison of the integral PNC of the MPSS (within 10%). Furthermore, following measurement uncertainties have been investigated: a) PSL particle size standards in the range from 100-500nm match within 1% after sizing calibration at 203 nm. b) Bipolar diffusion chargers based on the radioactive nuclides Kr85, Am241 and Ni63 and a new ionizer based on corona discharge follow the recommended bipolar charge distribution, while soft X-ray-based charges may alter faster than expected. c) The use of a positive high voltage supply show a 10% better performance than a negative one. d) The intercomparison of the integral PNC of an MPSS against the total number concentration is still within the target uncertainty at an ambient pressure of approximately 500 hPa.

The largest part of the collection comes from the Kucha region, a very important cultural center in the third to ninth centuries. Between 1902 and 1914, four German expeditions traveled along the northern Silk Road. During these expeditions, wall paintings were detached from their original settings in Buddhist cave complexes. This paper reports a technical study of a wall painting, existing in eight fragments, from the Buddhist cave no. 40 (Ritterhöhle). Its original painted surface is soot blackened and largely illegible. Grünwedel, leader of the first and third expeditions, described the almost complete destruction of the rediscovered temple complex and evidence of fire damage. The aim of this case study is to identify the materials used for the wall paintings. Furthermore, soot deposits as well as materials from conservation interventions were of interest. Non-invasive analyses were preferred but a limited number of samples were taken to provide more precise information on the painting technique. By employing optical and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, micro X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and Raman spectroscopy, a layer sequence of earthen render, a ground layer made of gypsum, and a paint layer containing a variety of inorganic pigments were identified.

T1 - Mechanism and kinetics of hematite crystallization in air: Linking bulk and surface models via mesoporous films with defined nanostructure N2 - Iron can form numerous oxides, hydroxides, and oxide−hydroxides. Despite their relevance, many of the transformation processes between these phases are still poorly understood. In particular the crystallization of quasi-amorphous hydroxides and oxide−hydroxides is difficult to assess, since typical diffraction and scattering methods provide only sampleaveraged information about the crystallized phases. We report a new approach for the investigation of the crystallization of oxide−hydroxides. The approach relies on model-type films that comprise a defined homogeneous nanostructure. The nanostructure allows quantitative linking of Information obtained by bulk-averaging diffraction techniques (XRD, SAXS) with locally resolved information, i.e., Domain sizes (SEM, TEM, LEEM) and phase composition (SAED). Using time-resolved imaging and diffraction we deduce mechanism and kinetics for the crystallization of ferrihydrite into hematite. Hematite forms via nucleation of hematite domains and subsequent Domain growth that terminates only upon complete transformation. A Johnson−Mehl−Avrami−Kolmogorov model describes the kinetics over a wide temperature range. The derived understanding enables the first synthesis of ferrihydrite films with ordered mesoporosity and quantitative control over the films’ hematite and ferrihydrite content.

An observation of concrete in Europe, America, and Asia - and conclusions for Africa N2 - Portland cement, as we know it today, has its origin in Great Britain approximately 170 years ago. Since then, concrete technology has spread out to Europe, the United States, and Japan, where it became a key component for rapid industrial development. Europe, the Unites States and many Asian countries today have developed a high level of technology regarding concrete construction. However, each of them has a unique history and as a result, different “concrete philosophy” depending upon the social, environmental and financial boundary conditions, as well as their evolution throughout the years and local construction traditions. As a result, the word concrete may refer to rather different materials in America, Europe, and Asia. Apart from South Africa, most sub-Saharan African countries cannot look back on a similarly long cement and concrete history. Cement and concrete are rather new materials and not yet well established. This gives African engineers the unique opportunity to learn from past mistakes and to develop a concrete technology, which refers to the best available practice. However, in many sub-Saharan African countries, standards and regulations are adopted (preferably from Europe or the US) without consideration of the historical background of these standards. Although this practice helps saving resources for the implementation, it does not necessarily yield the best result in the African environment, and also from an economic point of view it might come back disadvantageously due to unnecessary overdesigning. By comparing the differing states-of-the-art in North America, Europe, and Asia, this paper emphasizes, how regional conditions determine the practice of concrete technology in the sub-Saharan area. It is therefore important for Africa to develop a unique African concrete technology, which is perfectly fitted to the specific local conditions, even if it may vary distinctively from the established practice elsewhere. The paper concludes that African nations should effort into adapting existing principles that have proved to function well rather than adopting existing standards.
