Waste, Evaluation Methods
(2019)
It is difficult to decide which waste management system fulfills best predefined sustainability goals such as maximum materials and energy recovery, least environmental impact, and lowest societal cost. Such decisions are based on many parameters. However, several evaluation methods exist with different scope and output, and the application of one or more evaluation methods provides an objective comparison of alternatives.
Unternehmen der chemischen Industrie müssen neuen Pfade beschreiten, um in einem veränderten Umfeld erfolgreich bestehen zu können. Dazu gehört insbesondere, das Potenzial digitaler Technologien zu nutzen. Die volle Integration und intelligente Vernetzung von Systemen und Prozessen kommt allerdings nur zögerlich voran. Dieser Beitrag ist ein Loblied auf die Feldebene. Er möchte dazu ermutigen, die Digitalisierung der Prozessindustrie auf Basis smarter Sensorik, Aktorik und Kommunikation ganzheitlicher zu denken und informiert über aktuelle technische Perspektiven, wie das Ein-Netzwerk-Paradigma, Ad-hoc-Vernetzungen, Edge-Computing, FPGAs, virtuelle Maschinen oder Blockchain. Diese geben smarter Sensorik, Aktorik und Kommunikation eine völlig neue Perspektive.
The European building sector is moving towards more complex and high-tech building approaches. While focusing on energy efficiency, aspects e.g. occupant health, sustainability and life cycle costing are often neglected. This study highlights the potential of earthen plasters in combination with natural ventilation for low-tech solutions.
The EU funded project [H]house established the outstanding performance of earthen materials in light of hygrothermal and air purifying properties, which were further supported by experimental data from monitoring of naturally ventilated pilot buildings in Berlin. Additionally, [H]house demonstrated through LCC an increased cost efficiency of earth based low-tech solutions in comparison to conventional constructions relying on mechanical ventilation.
Since it was realized that sites contaminated with metals and radionuclides needed treatment, various remediation methods have been and are being developed. Depending on the size of the contaminated site and urgency of intervention, conventional or recently introduced techniques have been used. Conventional techniques include excavation and removal for treatment of soil and contaminants, or the so-called “pump-and-treat” method, in which contaminated groundwater is removed from the ground by pumping and treated in a treatment plant on the surface. It has the advantage of using proven techniques and is easy to control, and the treated groundwater can be reinjected into the ground or discharged in rivers or lakes. Novel methods include permeable reactive barriers, biomineralization, and electrokinetic remediation.
This chapter report the most recent experimental results on mechanical behaviour at high temperature of high-performance concretes. After a short introduction, subsection 5.2 describes the main testing methods that were used in the analysed studies.
Sub-section 5.3 collects and compares; the temperature-dependency of the compressive strength and modulus of elastici1ty of many experimental studies. The influence of parameters such as the initial compressive strength, the type of aggregate, the presence of additions, the W/C ratio, the moishrre content and the way the mechanical test was performed is analysed. Sub-section 5.4 presents the experimental results obtained under a constant temperature, i.e. creep tests at high temperature.
Sub-section 5.5 presents experimental results obtained under increasing temperahrre.
These results allow assessing the free thennal strain of concrete (when no mechanical load is applied) and the so-called "transient the1mal strain". Finally, subsection 5.6 collects and analyses the few results conceming the temperature-dependency of the tensile strength of high-perfo1mance concretes.
Spent fuel storage periods well beyond those originally foreseen are a reality. This publication offers several ideas and approaches that may be considered to address the increasingly longer storage times. The aim is to raise awareness, encourage dialogue and provide ideas on how to manage spent fuel. Key messages include the following:
- Delays in reprocessing or disposal could result in spent fuel being stored for 100 years or longer. Safe, secure and effective storage of spent fuel manages fuel degradation while preserving future fuel cycle options.
- Ageing management programmes apply engineering, operations and maintenance actions to ensure safety is maintained during storage, future handling and transport.
- Site selection and facility and equipment design can significantly reduce the risks and costs of spent fuel storage over longer periods.
- Spent fuel storage configurations can be selected to accommodate uncertain storage periods, to facilitate ageing management and to provide flexibility needed to accommodate the uncertainty of future end points, such as reprocessing or disposal.
- By considering multiple licence renewals, regulatory frameworks can be designed to ensure safe storage until an acceptable end point is achieved.
- Safety can be assured by maintaining shielding, containment, decay heat removal and criticality control. Navigating the complexity of societal beliefs and values, as well as political systems, has proven to be a greater challenge for the management of spent fuel than maintaining its safety and security or addressing the technical and economic aspects.
- Sustainable spent fuel management requires policies and strategies to provide a clear, consistent and stable direction because they drive the need for spent fuel storage as well as the available options and timing for achieving an acceptable end point. Unless States address spent fuel reprocessing and disposal on a sufficient scale to accommodate their spent fuel discharges, then storage for longer and longer periods becomes the de facto end point — which is not considered to be consistent with the responsibility to protect human health and the environment.
An effective, periodic licence renewal process can ensure effective ageing management and strong institutional control. Hence, spent fuel can be safely and securely stored for as long as it may be necessary until transport for reprocessing or disposal. However, the risks and costs of storing the growing inventory of spent fuel will continue to increase; and in the absence of an end point, it will eventually become a significant societal burden.

In der Sammlung des Naturwissenschaftlichen Kabinetts Johann Wolfgang von Goethes wird ein eher unscheinbares Stück Papier aufbewahrt, welches einen grauschwarzen Aufstrich aufweist. Bei genauerer Betrachtung glaubt man, drei Querstreifen mit rötlicher, weißlicher und bläulicher Farbe innerhalb des grauschwarzen Aufstrichs zu erkennen. Das Papier weist oben die Skizze eines Prismas, im mittleren Bereich am rechten Rand die Beschriftungen „violett/blau“, „weiß“ sowie „gelb/roth“ auf. Interessanterweise ist die Aufschrift „violett/blau“ dem eher rötlichen, die Aufschrift „gelb/roth“ dem eher bläulichen Querstreifen zugeordnet. Die rechte untere Ecke ist mit „Sk“ (Seebeck?) gekennzeichnet. Sowohl die Beschriftungen als auch die Skizze wurden mit einem Graphitstift ausgeführt. Das Papier ist auf eine Pappe mit Papprahmen geklebt und mit schwarzem Papier umwickelt. Es ist unumstritten, dass es sich bei diesem Objekt um das Ergebnis eines naturwissenschaftlichen Experiments handelt, doch was stellt es dar und lässt sich die ursprüngliche Versuchsanordnung aus dem vorliegenden Befund und weiterer, heute zugänglicher naturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen rekonstruieren?
Dieser Beitrag beschreibt die Entwicklung eines neuen chemischen Verfahrens, das in einem Kooperationsprojekt zwischen der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) und der Ferro Duo GmbH entwickelt wird. Mit dem entwickelten Verfahren soll es ermöglicht werden, schwermetallhaltige Filterstäube und -schlämme wie Gichtgasschlämme oder Elektroofenstäube, die als Abfälle während der Produktion von Roheisen und Rohstahl anfallen und die derzeit größtenteils deponiert werden, zu recyceln und die darin enthaltenen Wertstoffe (v.a. Eisen, Kohlenstoff und Zink) wieder in den Rohstoffkreislauf zurückzugeben. Das Verfahren basiert auf dem Prinzip der Chlorierung der in den Filterstäuben und -schlämmen enthaltenen Schwermetalloxide nach Zugabe eines flüssigen Chlordonators wie Eisen(II)-chlorid-Lösung oder Salzsäure. Die so chlorierten Schwermetalloxide werden bei Temperaturen zwischen 650 und 1100 °C in Form von Schwermetallchloriden verdampft und so selektiv vom behandelten Feststoff separiert. Erste experimentelle Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Gehalte an Schwermetallen wie Zink, Blei und Cadmium um bis zu 99,7% reduziert werden können und die thermochemisch behandelten Filterstäube und -schlämme durch das Verfahren in sekundäre, im Wesentlichen aus Eisenoxiden bestehenden Rohstoffe für die Roheisenproduktion umgewandelt werden können. Da die chlorhaltigen Lösungen selbst Abfallstoffe aus anderen Industriezweigen sind (z.B. aus der Titandioxidproduktion oder der Stahlbeize), vereint das hier entwickelte Verfahren auf elegante Weise zwei Abfallstoffströme und wandelt diese in sekundäre Rohstoffe – einem mineralischen Rohstoff für die Roheisenproduktion sowie Zinkchlorid – um.
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.
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.
