Resistance to oxidative degradation by nitric acid has been selected for a comparison of polyethylene grades in a European standard on suitability proof for alternative plastic resins used for packagings and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) for the transport of dangerous goods. Measurements of the infrared (IR) absorption spectra of microtome slices cut from the walls of jerricans, which were pre-stored with 55% nitric acid for 21 and 42 days at 40°C, showed changes in the structure of the polyethylene. The penetration depths of 55% nitric acid into the polyethylene grades are, in principle, suitable for evaluating the resistance to oxidative degradation of polyethylene grades after pre-storage of the packagings for 21 days. After this period the packaging wall is not fully penetrated. The intensities of the IR bands at 1565 cm-1 (-NO2), 1630 cm-1 (-C=C) and 1654 cm-1 (-O-NO2) increased with the treatment time with 55% nitric acid as a result of oxidative damage by the nitric acid. The high increase in absorbance of the -C=C band in the region 1630 - 1690 cm-1 is attributable to paraffinic chain cracks. The absorbance of the -O-NO2 band, formed as result of the nitration process was still low at a test temperature of 40°C.
Climate change, CO2 reduction, resource efficiency are only 3 current keywords that describe the current industrial-economic situation. In order to influence climate change effectively, the conversion of supply systems with technically usable forms of energy must succeed in the next decade. The international network founded in Baku in 2015 bundles research activities in the broad field of energy supply and energy efficiency.
Discuss current research approaches and results with scientists and experts from renowned universities and follow Azerbaijan's efforts to implement the energy revolution.
To reduce the emission of carbondyoxide (CO2) of combustion engines, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is used as an alternative fuel. LNG is transported via truck, ship or railway for long distances. Double walled stainless steel tanks are used for transportation, which are heavy and expensive. The vacuum insulation between the two walled structure ensures that the LNG stays liquid over the transportation time (boiling point of LNG: -162 ◦C). This causes a high temperature difference between the transported good and the ambient air.
A simplified tank construction is used to reduce the weight and price of the tank. Instead of stainless steel, glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) is used. The design is changed to a single walled construction with a solid insulation material outside on the GFRP structure.
Goal of this work is the characterization of a suitable insulation material and configuration as well as the analysis of the mechanical properties of GFRP under cryogenic conditions. Several experiments are carried out. Numerical models of these experiments can then be used for parameter studies.
