One of the alternative renewable fuels is biomass but it is a difficult fuel because of its diversity and complexity. It can contain high percentages of K and Cl responsible for corrosion together with sand that have additionally an abrasive effect during combustion. Because of permanently extending the surface reaction due to abrasion the corrosion of the materials increases. In particular in power plants, the superheater tubes are exposed to a corrosive abrasive attack that is one of the main sources of concern. The development of new alloys for multilayer surface, which combines corrosive and abrasive resistance is therefore of high importance. Those new technical approaches must be at the same time cost-effective to be an alternative to conventional materials. The aim of the presented investigation methods is to test and develop suitable alloys for coatings for the super heater tubes of biomass power plants. First results of abrasion investigations show improved abrasion resistance compared to the multi-component reference material Alloy 625.
The integration of finite element method (FEM) into the least-squares adjustment presented in is further extended for a joint evaluation of an elastostatic model and displacement field measurement. For linear solids which obey the Hooke's law, the material parameters determination from measurements is being examined.
Hard materials consist of a hard phase embedded in a metallic binder. In order to achieve high toughness and strength, it is necessary to have a perfect mixing of hard phase and binder, which is mainly achieved by ball milling. Niobium carbide (NbC) has a high potential to substitute tungsten carbide as hard material.
The publication presents the development of stable homogeneous and de-agglomerated NbC-dispersions. To prevent agglomeration of the powder, stable suspensions were achieved by surface treatments with the dispersants (PD and HD), which resulted in a charge reversal from a negative to a positive zeta potential. This surface-modified powder guaranteed a stable re-dispersion in the binder suspension. Nickel powder was added as metallic binder. This suspension was suited for 3D-printing. The green samples could be sintered in vacuum or Argon atmosphere.
Microbial induced corrosion (MIC) is a crucial problem in many technical plants as well as fuel tanks, leading to considerable damage and huge financial losses. Successful prevention of MIC requires the localization of first signs of corrosion as well as the identification of factors influencing the corrosion process. In this respect, also the determination of corrosion rates can be of interest for the possible prevention of MIC. Hence, there is a growing need for sensitive and preferably inexpensive tools that enable the early detection of MIC. Of special interest are methods, which provide spatially and time-resolved information and allow the study of changes on metal surfaces as prerequisites for a more detailed analysis of ongoing corrosion processes at a MIC-affected site.
Biofilm formation can lead to changes in pH, oxygen and chloride concentration as well as to the release of certain metal ions like Fe(II) and Mn(II) depending on the type of metal surface involved. Hence, optical methods enabling the detection of these analytes at very low concentration and monitoring of their changes can be used for MIC detection. Here, we propose to utilize polymeric nanosensors for MIC detection via the determination of the local pH value changes in different biofilms. Such nanosensors are known to have several advantages in imaging applications such as intracellular pH measurements including the ease of doping or labeling with a multitude of analyte-responsive and inert dye molecules for the realization of a high analyte sensitivity and ratiometric sensing. Moreover, they can be surface functionalized with target-specific ligands e.g., lectins, for the specific binding to the outer surface of certain types of bacteria. In this respect, different polymer architectures will be studied to identify an optimal candidate in terms of imaging performance in conjunction with several classes of pH-responsive fluorescent dyes like cyanines, aza-BODIPYs, and xanthenes, utilizing different mechanism of signal generation such as photo-induced electron transfer or protonation-induced changes in the spectral position of absorption and emission spectra.
Current pollen screening information networks are based on time-consuming, microscopic determination of the genus-specific pollen morphology. Additionally, the given information relies on prediction of plant growth, wind direction and seasonal information.
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was introduced for rapid analysis of complex biological samples. MALDI-TOF provides the possibility to measure species-specific mass peak patterns of pollen and offers a powerful tool for investigation of taxonomic relations.
Our objective is to develop a fast, reliable, routine method for detecting single pollen grains in pollen mixtures. The obtained spectra are analyzed by multivariate statistics.
The controlled production of supramolecular aggregates formed by the self-assembly of dendritic amphiphiles is of great interest owing to their potential application in the fields of nanotechnology and nanomedicine. Dendritic amphiphiles as building blocks offer the advantage that their structure and size can be precisely tuned through organic synthesis. This synthetic flexibility enables the fine-tuning of the hydrophobic to hydrophilic ratio of the dendritic segments, which mainly controls the morphology of the self-assembled structures.
A promising method for the controlled preparation of supramolecular assemblies is based on the use of micromixers.[5,6] Due to their mixing times in the range of milliseconds at the microscale level, the application of such microfluidic systems benefits from a high mixing efficiency, a low mixing time and a reproducible synthesis compared to conventional batch-based techniques such as the solvent injection method or the film hydration method.
Herein, we report on the microfluidic-assisted self-assembly of several dendritic amphiphiles and the impact of the mixing parameters on the self-assembly process.
The use of high-performance concretes holds great promise for many structural applications. This paper investigates the performance of these materials when used in combination with traditional reinforcing bars. An improved understanding of failure during reinforcing bar pull-out from high-performance concretes is needed in order to better predict the embedment length required to develop full reinforcing bar pull-out strength and the required thickness of reinforcing bar cover for adequate corrosion protection. The cracking structures surrounding the reinforcing bars were analyzed using x-ray computed tomography (CT) in order to determine the stress states causing failure. This was accomplished by conducting in-situ reinforcing bar pull-out experiments during CT scanning. A conventional concrete, a high-strength concrete, and a high-strength fiber reinforced concrete were all tested during the experiments. The results of these experiments showed that the levels of brittleness of the different concrete materials had a major impact on the failure mechanisms that they experienced during reinforcing bar pull-out. It was also clear that the specimen geometry and the casting method had a major impact on fiber orientation. The inclusion of fibers within concrete was also found to significantly improve strength and corrosion protection during reinforcing bar pull-out.
High resolution in situ monitoring of the initial cement hydration influenced by organic admixtures
(2015)
Numerous admixtures are used in the building practice to customize the properties of the cement paste during application. The influences of admixtures on the course of cement hydration and formation of hydrate phases have to be considered. Polycarboxylate ether (PCE) based polymeric superplasticizers (SPs) are known to retard the setting of the cement paste. The extent of the retardation differs depending on the molecular structure of the SP. Additionally, the presence of a stabilizing agent (SA) in the cement paste has a retarding side effect on the setting. The initial cement hydration processes and the detailed mechanisms of the retardation influenced by PCEs, as well as their interactions with particular SAs, are insufficiently understood. Up to now, only the results of phenomenological studies were taken into account to describe this retardation process. A detailed structure analysis monitoring the change of the phase composition during the hydration was never applied. Both SP and SA affect the adsorption of the sulphate ions on the clinker particles, causing changes in the formation of ettringite during the initial hydration, and are therefore a crucial part of the setting process itself. Here, the initial hydration of cement influenced by the interaction of SP and SA was monitored in situ by synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The high time resolution of the measurements allowed a continuous detection of the hydrates formed. The hydration was followed from the starting point of water addition and for couple of hours afterwards. The hydration of the levitated cement pellets containing starch as SA was initialized by adding aqueous solutions of different commercial SPs. Changes in the ettringite formation were detected in comparison to the reference hydration of pure cement.
Lightweight granules are mineral, spherical and porous particles with bulk density less than 2000 kg m . New types of lightweight granules are made from masonry -3 rubble as an alternative to the commonly used expanded clay and shale. They are produced in a multistage manufacturing process by thermal or hydrothermal treatment. Studies of the microstructure of the new lightweight granules are very important to optimise the engineering properties with regard to different applications from lightweight concrete to planting substrates and wastewater treatment. Here, the results of porosity and pore structure measurements are presented. Characteristic samples with different bulk densities of both thermally and hydrothermally hardened granules have been analysed by means of various methods.
Worldwide, cement and concrete experts are at the cutting-edge to sustainable, green, healthy but nonetheless high-Performance concrete. The current relatively low development of the cement and concrete industry in Africa offers the unique opportunity to start directly on the best achievable and sustainable Level, if only Expertise is sufficiently available. It should not be neglected that concrete is a product with comparably low Transport ranges, which means that an improved concrete market will mainly Support the local economy without exceeding financial Drains to the international market, thus fostering the fight against poverty, which is an urgent Need in most African countries.
Modern CO2-reduced power plants with Oxyfuel-Combustion operate with gas compositions of high CO2 partial pressure and steam (Boiler, Recycling). The corrosion process occurring under such service conditions is different from that under current conditions with air combustion. The effect of temperature, pressure, chromium content on the corrosion reaction of typical power plant steels in CO2 -H2O and CO-H2O-O2 was investigated.
Modern municipal solid waste incinerator plants produce bottom ashes, which are used in building industry, especially as base course in road constructions. Because of a highly sophisticated reprocessing technique, the ashes Show a relatively stable composition, comparatively well defined properties and environmentally relevant Parameters below legal Limits. Due to its chemical and mineralogical characteristics, the bottom ash can in principle be used as Aggregate in the production of normal strength concrete. However, if the ash contains concrete damaging components Recycling becomes problematic.
To assess the use of municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash (MSWI bottom ash) as Aggregate in concrete, different additionally treated ashes were chemical and physical characterised. Furthermore, concrete specimens with bottom ash as aggregates were produced and their Engineering properties were studied.
Processed building rubble containing about 90 % of crushed concrete can be used as recycling aggregates. The reuse for the production of new high-grade concrete requires a knowledge of the engineering properties as well as the pore structure of These materials. Two recycling aggregates and the concretes made with them were studied.
Inorganic-organic nanocomposites are synthesised from polyethylene glycol with an average molar mass of 600 g/mol containing colloidal silica (silicic acid) and diphenyl methane diisocyanate as compact and foamed materials according to the European patent EP1414880. Beside the macroscopic properties, the pore structure and the structure of the polymer matrix of the silica/polyurethane nanocomposites with varying silica contents were studied.
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is characterised by compressive strengths above 150 MPa and an outstanding durability. These properties are achieved by optimisation of the mixture composition, the mixing procedure as well as the curing conditions of the concrete. Heat curing as well as the use of vacuum mixers may contribute to the high strength. The very high brittleness of UHPC can be compensated by the addition of steel or polymer fibres.
UHPC is produced using a very low water/cement ratio of 0.25 or smaller in combination with adding of polycarboxylate ether based superplasticisers. Furthermore, finest cements with contents of 500 kg/m³, defined selections of coarse and fine aggregates with a maximum grain size between 0.5 and 8 mm and fine pozzolanic (silica fume, fly ash) and inert additives (quartz filler) are used. In doing so, the aim is to obtain a very high packing density of the cement paste matrix and the aggregate/paste interface while a very homogeneous microstructure with a high calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) portion is formed.
In the case of optimal mixing and curing conditions, UHPC contains almost no pores and microcracks. Therefore, studies of porosity and pore structure are very important to characterise UHPC materials in connection with the mixture optimisation. Here, the experimental results for UHPC are presented in comparison with those of high-strength concrete (100 MPa) and normal-strength concrete (35 MPa), respectively.
