ISO 10156:2010 contains a test method and a calculation method for flammability of gases and gas mixtures for the selection of cylinder valve outlets. The calculation method is used also to classify gas mixtures according to the national and international dangerous goods and dangerous substances regulations, e.g. according to the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN TDG) and the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (UN GHS). The calculation method for gas mixtures requires substance parameters of the single components. These are the coefficients for the fire potential (Tci) and for inerting ability, the so-called nitrogen equivalence (Kk), which have been estimated conservatively by means of flammability data.
BAM checked Tci and Kk values of ISO 10156:1996 using three-component diagrams (Flammable gas-Inert-Air) of the CHEMSAFE® database. The experimental fundamentals and the principles of the calculation method are summarized in this paper. The revised data for Tci and Kk values were adopted in the tables of ISO 10156:2010.
Furthermore, subcategorization of flammable gases has been proposed by a UN working group and shall be implemented in the GHS in the meantime. The subcategorization requires the lower flammability limit (LFL) as an additional indicator. Therefore, a test method and a calculation method for LFL were proposed by BAM and have been implemented in the new draft of ISO/CD 10156:2016.
The calculation method for gas mixtures is based on Le Chatelier’s rule and was extended by using the Kk values for inert components in the mixture. The calculated LFLs of methane-inert gas mixtures were compared with experimental values for different types of inert gases. It could be shown that calculated LFLs are in good agreement with experimental values if the Kk values derived from three-component flammability diagrams are used. Although using the Kk values of ISO 10156:2010 leads to higher deviations, the results are still on the safe side.
Recently, we suggested an unconventional approach [the so-called Internal-Field-Guarded-Active-Region Design (IFGARD)] for the elimination of the crystal polarization field induced quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE) in polar semiconductor heterostructures. And in this work, we demonstrate by means of micro-photoluminescence techniques the successful tuning as well as the elimination of the QCSE in strongly polar [000-1] wurtzite GaN/AlN nanodiscs while reducing the exciton life times by more than two orders of magnitude. The IFGARD based elimination of the QCSE is independent of any specific crystal growth procedures. Furthermore, the cone-shaped geometry of the utilized nanowires (which embeds the investigated IFGARD nanodiscs) facilitates the experimental differentiation between quantum confinement- and QCSE-induced emission energy shifts. Due to the IFGARD, both effects become independently adaptable.
The book „Electropolishing“ by M. Buhlert is dealing with the electrolytic brightening, smoothing and deburring of technical materials like steel, copper, brass, aluminum, titanium and magnesium. The book content covers the basics and the main influencing parameters of the electropolishing process and provides detailed and application orientated procedure information for technical relevant materials.
After a brief introduction into the topic of electrolytic polishing in the first chapter, the author gives a detailed description of the basic electrochemical reaction mechanisms in the second chapter. The reader will also be informed about the physical and chemical parameters, which control the electrochemical removal process. Additionally, the author reports about the advantages and disadvantages of electropolishing.
The third chapter provides a detailed insight into the influencing manufacturing parameters affecting the results of the electropolishing process. Distinct aspects of the manufacturing e.g. workpiece preparation, electrolyte composition, polishing time, electrolyte temperature and alloy compositions will be discussed in detail by the author.
In the fourth and fifth chapter, the author gives useful hints and information about the parameter variation and the suitable handling of hull cells for the optimization of the removal process, followed by a particular overview about material specific electrolyte mixtures for common-used technical metals and alloys, like steel, aluminum, brass, magnesium, copper and titanium.
The sixth chapter of the book provides many selected manufacturing results and investigations on electropolishing of different metals and alloys, which allows the reader the opportunity to develop a systematic understanding of the topic and to adopt the knowledge on the optimization of his own electropolishing process.
Finally, the book concludes with a brief chapter about some remarks with respect to the work safety and environmental efforts.
In summary, this book contains a very detailed and clear arranged overview about the electropolishing method for the surface optimization process. For this reason, it is a suitable and useful lecture for people, which want to take an in depth look into the topic in order to start using this method or are interested in optimize their existing electropolishing processes.
The use of renewable energy technologies, such as photovoltaics (PV) should be sustainable and environmentally compatible and therefore protect the environment from risks and damaging impacts. Regarding the growing number of installed photovoltaic systems, the end-of-life management of the pv-modules will become increasingly important. Thin film panels contain hazardous substances that may harm the environment if they are not recycled or disposed properly after reaching the end of their service life. Heavy metals, for example, can be toxic as well as carcinogenic or teratogenic. Processing methods for the recycling of PV thin film modules have to take these facts into account. Currently the available recycling techniques usually utilise chemicals such as acids for a wet-chemical treatment of end-of-life modules. The aim of RESOLVED was to identify and test alternative methods for a wet-mechanical treatment in order to reduce the consumption of chemicals in the recycling of thin film modules. Furthermore, the recovered Cadmium-Telluride (CdTe) and Copper-Indium-Diselenide/Disulfide (CIS) should be helping to save scare resources especially for limited elements such as tellurium and indium. The project RESOLVED investigated the recovery of semiconductors material as secondary raw material and the decontamination of the residues of the PV thin film modules. These goals were achieved by testing and optimising existing technologies for the recycling process as well as for the enrichment of the semiconductor materials. The target is to re-use the enriched recovered material in the production of new PV modules. Special efforts were made to look into life cycle analysis, process sustainability, economical aspects, and resource availability.
In November 2007, OECD’s Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPMN) launched the Sponsorship Programme for the Testing of Manufactured Nanomaterials (hereafter the Testing Programme). The objective was to conduct specific tests, relevant to human health and environmental safety endpoints, on a variety of manufactured nanomaterials (MN). The outcomes of the Testing Programme were intended to assess the applicability of the existing test guidelines1 to nanomaterials, as well as to provide useful information on any intrinsic properties of MNs, which are different from the same bulk material with greater external dimensions. Understanding the properties of NMs is crucial to choose appropriate strategies for hazard identification, risk assessment or risk management measures. The Testing Programme involved delegations from OECD member countries, some non-member economies and other stakeholders. The broad international representation, from a range of delegations enabled the programme to pool expertise and resources without which this programme would not have been possible.
The PC computer programme written in Borland Pascal for Borland Delphi under Windows 98/NT performs the transient analysis of three-dimensional structures subjected to surface heat flux, convective and radiative heat transfer, internal heat generation and temperature boundary conditions. The non-linearity may be due to either temperature dependent material properties or non-linear boundary conditions. The program is applicable to structures comprised of one or more materials. It uses a Network of cubic or prismatic volume elements, finite-volume method and a very efficient predictor-corrector differential equation System solver for stiff Problems to facilitate consideration of non-linearity, Radiation heat transfer between triangular/square Areas, latent heat in the calculation of temperature in materials such as freezing of water into ice or humid concrete and convection heat transfer in flow through tubes and ducts. Colour graphics are represented in VGA on screen or can be printed using PostScript/PCL on colour/laser Printer or into a file. By worked examples the application area of the PC computer program INSTATCP is demonstrated.
