Synthesis of composite of graphene and UO3 composite via one-step solution chemical reaction and its application to UO2-based accident tolerant fuel

In this paper, two kinds of composites constructed by UO₃ nanoflakes (which is UO₃·yNH₃·xH₂O, precisely) and different graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets (homemade GO, GO-h, and commercial GO, GO-c) were prepared via solution chemical reaction. The two kinds of GO share similar morphology and possess the same species of functional groups. Nevertheless, GO-h possesses higher oxidization degree and thus could adsorb more uranyl ions, and the corresponding composite shows a much more regular shape: UO₃ nanoflakes and GO nanosheets cross each other, which would help overcome the disadvantage of graphene aggregation. As a result, homemade reduced graphene oxide (RGO-h) sheets inside the final UO₂ pellets (named as UO₂/GO-h) could construct a well-bulit thermally conductive network to enhance its thermal conductivity. However, similar RGO-c network cannot be observed in the UO₂/GO-c pellest originated from GO-c. Therefore, only the thermal conductivity of UO₂/GO-h pellet acquires a dramatic increase, 37.30% relative to UO₂ pellet at 1200 °C, showing that UO₂/GO-h possesses great potential for the development of novel UO₂-based ATF fuels.

Chemical‐looping combustion — an overview and application of the recirculating fluidized bed reactor for improvement

This paper propose recirculating fluidized bed (RCFB) reactor for chemical‐looping combustion (CLC) to overcome some of the issues associated with the existing interconnected reactors arrangements like low residence time of bed material in the air reactor, high attrition of bed material in the cyclone separator, cluster formation in the air reactor, complex operation involving loop seals and high heat losses. RCFB has high solid circulation rate, long residence time, efficient fuel–oxygen carrier contact, low heat losses and low gas leak in between the reactors, as compared to the existing reactor configurations. A cold model study was performed on a Perspex made, semicircular, transparent RCFB reactor. A single RCFB reactor was operated in the alternate oxidation and fuel burning cycles to simulate the interconnected reactors arrangement for CLC. The generated experimental data has been used to predict the optimal RCFB reactor configuration for a RCFB‐based CLC power plant. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Utility of Multivariate Analysis in Modeling the Effects of Raw Material Properties and Operating Parameters on Granule and Ribbon Properties Prepared in Roller Compaction

This article aimed to model the effects of raw material properties and roller compactor operating parameters (OPs) on the properties of roller compacted ribbons and granules with the aid of principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS) projection. A database of raw material properties was established through extensive physical and mechanical characterization of several microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and lactose grades and their blends. A design of experiment (DoE) was used for ribbon production. PLS models constructed with only OP-modeled roller compaction (RC) responded poorly. Inclusion of raw material properties markedly improved the goodness of fit (R²?=?.897) and model predictability (Q²?=?0.72).

Monitoring of CO2 geological storage based on the passive surface waves

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture and geological storage (CCS) is one of promising technologies for greenhouse gas effect mitigation. Many geotechnical challenges remain during carbon dioxide storage field practices, among which effectively detecting CO₂ from deep underground is one of engineering problems. This paper reviews monitoring techniques currently used during CO₂ injection and storage. A method developed based on measuring seismic microtremors is of main interest. This method was first successfully used to characterize a site in this paper. To explore its feasibility in CO₂ storage monitoring, numerical simulations were conducted to investigate detectable changes in elastic wave signatures due to injection and geological storage of CO₂. It is found that, although it is effective for shallow earth profile estimation, the surface wave velocity is not sensitive to the CO₂ layer physical parameter variations, especially for a thin CO₂ geological storage layer in a deep underground reservoir.     

Experimental investigation on the effect of surface characterization of electrodes on the gas bubble dynamics in electrolyte flow and performance of FLA batteries by using PIV

In the flooded lead_acid batteries (FLAB), gas bubbles are initially formed on the surface of the electrodes, which are produced by electrochemical reactions, and then released into the electrolyte. In the present investigation, the effect of surface characterization of electrodes of FLAB on the gas bubble dynamic parameters in the electrolyte flow at different charging/discharging rates (C-rates) are studied utilizing particle image velocimetry (PIV) method. The results show that the capacity of FLAB have a linear behav-ior due to changes in each of the two parameters of the surface characterization of electrodes and the C-rate. At all State of charges (SOCs) of FLAB cells in different tests, increasing average roughness (Ra) and average wavelength of the roughness (ka) in the electrode surfaces, results in an increase in average bub-ble diameter and bubble rising velocity. Nevertheless, a sharp decrease in the void fraction of bubbles within the electrolyte was observed due to the increment in ka and Ra. Also, the effect of the rising move-ment of gas bubbles within the electrolyte on the average electrolyte velocity pattern in the gap between the electrodes by changing the surface characterization of electrodes are investigated in detail.
