▼ Die Dispergierung von Nanopartikel-Agglomeraten in der Gasphase bietet gegenüber
der Dispergierung in Flüssigkeiten einige Vorteile, z.B. höhere Reinheiten. Bisherige Dispergierungsmethoden
in der Gasphase desagglomerieren Nanopartikel-
Agglomerate
lediglich bis zu einer Größe von 300nm. Für eine Dispergierung müssen die wirkenden
Belastungen die mechanische Stabilität der
Agglomerate, die eine Funktion der
Struktur ist, übersteigen. Hierbei weisen kompaktere
Agglomerate höhere mechanische
Stabilitäten aufgrund einer erhöhten Anzahl an interpartikulären Bindungen auf. Diese
Arbeit befasst sich mit der mechanischen Stabilität von Nanopartikel-Agglomeraten
unterschiedlicher Strukturen und Größen kleiner 400nm. Dafür wurde das Fragmentierungsverhalten
der
Agglomerate bei verschiedenen Beanspruchungen untersucht.
Die
Agglomerate wurden in turbulenten und laminaren Scherströmungen sowie
durch schräge Impaktion beansprucht. Bei den Beanspruchungen in Strömungen ist
keine Fragmentierung im experimentell untersuchten Beanspruchungsbereich aufgetreten.
Ein Vergleich mit der theoretischen mechanischen Stabilität unter Annahme von
van-der-Waals Haftenergien zwischen den Primärpartikeln zeigt, dass die wirkenden
Strömungskräfte zu gering für eine Fragmentierung sind. Die geringen Belastungen in
der Gasphase sind eine Folge der geringen Dichten und Viskositäten von Gasen. Dagegen
wirken bei der Impaktion Belastungen, die ein Vielfaches größer als die mechanische
Stabilität sind. Bei den hier untersuchten Impaktionsbedingungen konnten die
Agglomerate abhängig von ihrer Struktur nahezu bis auf die Primärpartikel desagglomeriert
werden. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass die schräge Impaktion zu einer effektiveren
Fragmentierung gegenüber der senkrechten Impaktion führt. Die Einsatzenergien sind
reduziert und es kommt zu einer erhöhten Zunahme des Fragmentierungsgrades mit
steigender Impaktionsenergie. Die durchgeführten Experimente ergaben zudem einen
Einfluss der Agglomeratstruktur auf die Fragmentierung. Bei offenen Agglomeraten mit
niedrigeren fraktalen Dimensionen (Df_2,3) tritt eine Umstrukturierung bei der Impaktion
auf. Dies führt zu einer Erhöhung der Einsatzenergie für die Fragmentierung.
Außerdem wird die Zunahme des Fragmentierungsgrades mit steigender Impaktionsenergie
durch die Umstrukturierung reduziert. Die Fragmentierung wird bei allen untersuchten
Agglomeratstrukturen maßgeblich von der tangentialen Geschwindigkeitskomponente
bestimmt. Um dies zu berücksichtigen, wurde für die Beschreibung des
Fragmentierungsgrades eine modifizierteWeibull-Statistik entwickelt. Neben der Fragmentierung
müssen die
Agglomerate/Fragmente für eine kontinuierliche Gasphasendispergierung
nach der Impaktion wieder abspringen. Aus den Untersuchungen zum
Abspringen geht hervor, dass das Abspringverhalten von offen-strukturierten Agglomeraten
(Df<2) allein von den Primärpartikeleigenschaften bestimmt wird, solange keine
Fragmentierung auftritt. Die Impaktionsgeschwindigkeit, ab der Abspringen einsetzt,
ist für diese…

▼ Computer modeling is critical for catalyst layer (CL)
design in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. Water-filled and
ionomer-filled agglomerate models have been suggested as
representations of the CL microstructure. In this thesis, improved
water-filled and ionomer-filled agglomerate models are developed.
Results indicate that the agglomerates provide identical current
densities at low and high overpotentials, but differ at mid-range
values. These models are integrated in a multiscale simulation of a
2D membrane electrode assembly (MEA) model. A comparative analysis
shows that the choice of agglomerate alters the reaction
distribution in the CL but does not significantly change the
model's performance. Lastly, it is proposed that the CL
microstructure be characterized by optimization-based parameter
estimation, which matches MEA model predictions to experimental
data. Results suggest that experimental data is not readily
characterized by an agglomerate model; the MEA model requires more
detail to describe the phenomena across a range of operating
conditions.

▼ The transmission of stress in an
agglomerate, and
hence the stress required for breakup of the
agglomerate, is
strongly dependent on the
agglomerate structure. The purpose of
this study was to investigate the influence of
agglomerate
structure on the dispersion process through the use of computer
simulations. A total of six
agglomerate structures were simulated
using various simple cubic lattice based models; the agglomerates
ranged from very tenuous, highly ramified structures with a fractal
dimension of 1.96 to very compact structures having a fractal
dimension of 3.0. Two models of the stress required to rupture the
agglomerates were formulated. The first model was based on fracture
of the
agglomerate along a planar surface; this model invariably
predicted that rupture would occur in the outer fringes of the
agglomerate, where the density of the cluster was lowest. The
second model was based on fracture along an irregular surface, and
accounted for the concentration of stress at the roots of branches
in the
agglomerate. This stress concentration was found to cause
the fragments produced from the highly ramified clusters to be
comparable in size to the parent cluster. The irregular fracture
model also predicted much lower critical rupture stresses and a
stronger dependence of the critical rupt ure stress on cluster size
(for the fractal clusters) than did the planar fracture model.
Simulations of
agglomerate breakup at supercritical stresses were
carried out, under the assumption that breakup occurs by successive
fracture of the cluster at its weakest point until all fragments
produced are stable at the stress applied. Using this model, the
average fragment size exhibited a power law dependence on the
applied stress (above the critical stress) for all of the clusters
simulated. The magnitude of the exponent in this power law
relationship increased as the structure went from being highly
ramified to completely dense.

▼ The work in this thesis addresses the improvement of electrocatalyst performance in hydrogen PEM fuel cells. An agglomerate model for a catalyst layer was coupled with a one dimensional macroscale model in order to investigate the fuel cell performance. The model focuses on the agglomerate scale and the characteristic length in this study was 0.4 µm. The model was validated successfully with the experimental data. Based on the analysis of variance method at a 99% confidence level, the variation in the average fuel cell voltage was significantly sensitive to that in the volume fraction of electrolyte in an agglomerate. The effect of changing electrolyte film thickness was observed to have a significant impact only in the mass transport limited region, whereas the effect of changing agglomerate radius was found over the entire range of current density. An analysis comparing the effect of agglomerate shape at a constant platinum loading, a constant characteristic length and assuming the semi-finite structure was suitable for this study. Sphere, cylinder and slab agglomerate geometries were considered. The behaviour of the utilisation effectiveness was discovered to be strongly affected by the agglomerate shape. The improvement in the utilisation effectiveness was non-linear with current density. The advantage of the slab geometry in distributing reactant through the agglomerate volume was reduced and consequently the increase in utilisation effectiveness for slab-like agglomerates diminishes in the high current density region. At 0.85 Acm−2, the maximum improvement of the catalyst utilisation effectiveness in slab was 27.8% based on the performance in sphere. The improvement in fuel cell maximum power density achieved using slab-like agglomerate was limited to around 3%. The improvement in the overall fuel cell performance by changing the agglomerate shape was not significant. To achieve significant improvements in fuel cell performance will require changes to other features of the catalyst layer.

▼ The sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) steppe is undergoing rapid ecological change. The degradation of sagebrush steppe rangelands has resulted in the listing of more than 350 animals and plants as species of conservation concern. In addition, there has been a decrease in recreational values, reduced forage production, degraded water resources, and an increase in fire frequency. In the sagebrush steppe, success rates for seeding sagebrush after wildfire are notoriously low. Not only are sagebrush seeds hard to sow due to their small size and associated flower parts, but seedlings are exposed to numerous stresses that lowers their survivability. To improve sowing efficiency and reduce the associated stresses to seedling development we use seed enhancement technologies. In Chapter 1, we explain how a rotary seed coater can be used to agglomerate and apply enhancements to Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata spp. wyomingensis) seed. Using a mix of compost and clay we used a rotary seed coater to create small uniform agglomerates that allowed for enhancements to be applied to the seed. Our study demonstrated that agglomerates have no negative effects on seed germination and increased the overall flow of seed. In Chapter 2, we analyzed the addition of the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) in seed coatings. This hormone may delay seed germination and allow seedlings to avoid mortality due to over-winter freezing. We determined effects of different concentrations of ABA on total germination and timing of germination. Using a wet-thermal accumulation model, we estimated germination timing of seeds using soil temperature and water potential data for six different sites in the Great Basin. These models illustrate the variation in germination timing across the Great Basin. From our results we proposed the idea of using ABA to create a bet- hedging strategy in seed mixes to increase the probability that some seeds would germinate when conditions are favorable for seedling success.

▼ The breakage behaviour of agglomerated materials is of interest to many industries which handle powders in a granulated form. Products which pass through an agglomeration process include fertilisers, pharmaceutical materials and some bulk chemicals. The current work relates the breakage rate of agglomerates to their mechanical strength in a particular piece of agglomeration equipment, namely, a fluidised bed. A study of the strength of test agglomerates composed of sand with a polymeric binder (polyvinyl pyrrolidone) was carried out. The strength of agglomerate bars was determined using a "three-point bend test" designed to elucidate fracture mechanics parameters, particularly Kc (the critical stress intensity factor). Indentation tests enabled the agglomerate yield strength to be found and therefore the size of the fracture "process zone" to be estimated. Agglomerates with a range of binder concentrations, and hence strengths, were fluidised and their breakage rates were determined for the different compositions. The breakage rate was found to be proportional to the reciprocal of the critical stress intensity factor as measured earlier. The breakage rate was also found to be proportional to the excess gas velocity in both a bubbling bed and a bed with gas jets. High-speed video recordings have shown that the main mechanism of fines generation is oblique impact of particles at relatively low velocities (of the order of a metre per second or less). This process is analogous to abrasive wear, which has. been simulated in a test outside the bed. Again, the wear rate was found to be proportional to 1/Kc. The usefulness of a fracture mechanics approach to agglomerate strength and breakage in process equipment has been confirmed using a fluidised bed.

▼ Nanoparticles are increasingly applied in a range of fields, such as electronics, catalysis, energy and medicine, due to their small sizes and consequent high surface-volume ratio. In many applications, it is attractive to coat the nanoparticles with a layer of different materials in order to gain new functionalities. For instance, a coated layer can modify the chemical properties of the nanoparticles, protect the core material resulting in increased stability, facilitate the biofunctionalization, etc. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a gas-phase technique that can form an ultrathin solid film on a range of substrates. It utilizes two self-limiting surface reactions applied in an alternating sequence. By controlling the number of applied cycles, the thickness of the coated layer can be controlled with nanometer precision. Several experimental reports in literature have shown that applying ALD to nanoparticles using a fluidized bed is a promising way of producing large quantities of coated nanoparticles. Fluidization is a gas-phase technique that can process large quantities of particles by suspending them in an upward gas stream. It provides good gas-solid mixing, scale-up potential, and allows continuous processing. However, due to the strong cohesive forces between particles, nanoparticles cluster into large agglomerates when fluidized. These agglomerates have a complex, hierarchical structure, which has been commonly described as fractal for their self-similarity under different length scales. During the ALD process, the precursors have to diffuse into such structures to reach the surface of inner particles.

▼ The emerging field of bacterial cell biology is beginning to shed light on the grand subcellular complexity of these small cells. Advances in imaging technologies and fluorescent proteins have peeled back the veil that had left the subcellular organization of bacteria largely unappreciated. Here I take these technologies further to demonstrate the importance of mesoscale architecture in bacteria in two fundamental processes: the regulation of metabolism and the phenotypic classification of cell death.
For its us in metabolism I forward-engineered mesoscale structures to demonstrate their feasibility in controlling metabolic flux based on a model of the theoretically optimal enzyme cluster. I then designed and validated a set of plug-and-play clustering tags for widespread actualization of enzyme clustering in metabolic engineering. Using a technique known as bacterial cytological profiling (BCP) I utilize various mesoscale structures as classification features to find the mechanism of action (MOA) of an ecologically important antibiotic, tropodithietic acid (TDA). Finding TDA's MOA suggests a mechanism of resistance in its bacterial producer as well as a potential anticancer property for TDA. I then scaled BCP for high-throughput applications and created a more informative analysis pipeline that I used to assess a panel of molecules with previously unknown mechanisms of action. This generated 8 antibiotic lead compounds with potentially novel MOAs.

Development of a Fluidized-Bed Agglomeration Modeling

▼ The utility of fluidized bed reactors for combustion
and gasification can be enhanced if operational issues such as
agglomeration are mitigated. The monetary and efficiency losses
could be avoided through a mechanistic understanding of the
agglomeration process and prediction of operational conditions that
promote agglomeration. Pilot-scale experimentation prior to
operation for each specific condition can be cumbersome and
expensive. So the development of a mathematical model would aid
predictions. The heterogeneity in ash chemical composition, gaseous
atmosphere and distributive granular physics properties affect
agglomeration. As the particle size distribution changes with
agglomeration, the hydrodynamics such as particle collision
frequencies also change continuously. This progression makes it
challenging to predict the particle growth kinetics, since the
chemistry- and physics-based parameters are interdependent.
Existing models consider only one of these two aspects. The present
work aimed to account for the heterogeneous conditions and develop
a modeling methodology that integrates ash chemistry and granular
physics. With this motivation, the study comprised of the following
model development stages-1) development of an agglomeration
modeling methodology based on binary particle collisions, 2) study
of heterogeneities in ash chemical composition and gaseous
atmosphere, 3) computation of a distribution of particle collision
frequencies based on granular physics for a poly-disperse particle
size distribution, 4) combining the ash chemistry and granular
physics inputs to obtain agglomerate growth probabilities and 5)
validation of the modeling methodology. The modeling methodology
comprised of testing every binary particle collision in the system
for sticking, based on the extent of dissipation of the particles’
kinetic energy through viscous dissipation by slag-liquid (molten
ash) covering the particles. In the modeling methodology developed
in this study, thermodynamic equilibrium calculations are used to
estimate the amount of slag-liquid in the system, and the changes
in particle collision frequencies are accounted for by continuously
tracking the number density of the various particle sizes. The
particle number density is also affected by the ash chemistry as
solid particles melt to form slag. Computational fluid dynamics
modeling is used in conjunction to obtain the initial granular
physics inputs to the model. In this study, the heterogeneities in
chemical composition of fuel ash were studied by separating the
bulk fuel into particle classes that are rich in specific minerals.
FactSage simulations were performed on two bituminous coals and an
anthracite to understand the effect of particle-level
heterogeneities on agglomeration. The mineral matter behavior of
these constituent classes was studied. Each particle class
undergoes distinct transformations of mineral matter at fluidized
bed operating temperatures, as determined by using high temperature
X-ray diffraction, thermo-mechanical analysis and scanning…

The objective of this work is to find products for wall covering and flooring that can contribute to a greater valorization of the raw materials used - wood of Eucalyptus maculata, Eucalyptus botryoides and Quercus faginea, and black expanded cork agglomerate and regranulate – by developing greener and more value-added products for indoor use. Prototypes for flooring and wall covering were assembled. The prototypes for flooring had three layers: the previously mentioned woods and black cork agglomerate (top layer), pine wood (middle layer) and Rubbercork (bottom layer). The prototypes for wall coverings were based on the expanded cork regranulate and glue, adding barks or shavings of E. maculata, E. botryoides or Q. faginea.
Physical and mechanical tests were made to measure hardness and swelling for the floor prototypes, concluding that the prototype with E. maculata has a higher hardness (41 N.mm-2) and lower swelling, and therefore an improved performance.
For wall covering products physical and mechanical testes were made to determine hardness, strength and thermal conductivity. The prototypes made with bark chips had the highest density 316 kg.m-3), hardness (2,9 MPa), traction (0,19 MPa) and the highest thermal conductivity (0,044 W/m.K), and showed higher mechanical strength, in comparison to prototypes made with wood chips

▼ In recent years there has been high commercial interest to develop dry powder inhalers (DPI) for drug delivery to the respiratory tract. Current designs of DPI were rather poor in performance due to the strong cohesion between pharmaceutical particles which are usually less the 5 micron and hence are difficult to disperse. One approach to optimise DPI performance was to develop a fundamental understanding of the underlying dispersion mechanisms. However, dispersion in DPI was a dynamic process which involves multiple physical factors due to
agglomerate-device interaction as well as
agglomerate-agglomerate and
agglomerate-fluid interactions. To understand the dispersion mechanisms, microscopic information at a particle scale was required.In this thesis, a numerical study of powder dispersion mechanisms in DPI has been presented by combining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for gas phase and discrete element method (DEM) for particle phase. A series of simulations were performed to quantify the roles of different interactions in powder dispersion. For
agglomerate-device interaction, our results showed that the impact energies in normal and tangential directions were comparable and both should be considered in order to describe breakage performance properly. During multiple
agglomerate-device impactions, the generation of fine particles was mainly attributed to the second impaction instead of the first one. After the first impaction, the
agglomerate was broken up into many small fragments with weak strength; second impaction further disintegrated them into smaller fragments.
Agglomerate-agglomerate interaction occurred mainly at the very early stage of dispersion played less important role on dispersion performance than
agglomerate-device interaction. The dispersion caused by internal shearing induced by air flow is not important in the device considered and the increase in flow rate mainly increased the kinetic energy of agglomerates which leaded to stronger
agglomerate-device and
agglomerate-agglomerate interactions. By analysing the various types of energy in dispersion, the dispersion efficiency can be correlated to the ratio of impact energy (including
agglomerate-device and
agglomerate-agglomerate impactions) and cohesion energy (related to
agglomerate strength). When plot FPF (fine particle fraction) as a function of energy ratio, the correlation for all cases collapsed into a single curve, indicating that the energy ratio, obtained from particle scale simulation, can be a useful index to predict dispersion performance at the macroscopic scale. This works have successfully demonstrated that the CFD-DEM based microscopic study can be linked to macroscopic process performance. The understanding of powder dispersion mechanisms can be used to improve the performance of existing DPI or designing new inhalers with desirable dispersion performance.

▼ This thesis consists of two parts: unipolar diffusion charging of nanoparticles and its application on the method development of surface-area measurements. The electrical capacitance of aerosol particles indicates their potential diffusion charging level, which is important for their classification by electrical mobility, precipitation (removal or collection) in electrical fields, and morphology characterization. A minimum potential energy method was used to calculate the electrical capacitance for agglomerates composed of equally sized spherical primary particles (PPs). By discretizing the particle surface using finite spherical elements, as net charge only resides on the surface of an isolated conductor, this method was extended to calculate the capacitance of arbitrarily shaped particles. Based on the capacitance, the charge of these particles was obtained by diffusion charging theory. In addition, the dynamics of capacitance and mean charge of agglomerate during sintering or coalescence (at constant particle volume) to aggregates and finally to compact structures was computed and found in agreement with sparse experimental data. Particle morphology strongly affects the capacitance and mean charge of fractal-like particles. For example, both decreased by 60% upon full coalescence or sintering of an agglomerate consisting initially of 128 PPs. Although geometric surface area (GSA) of nanoparticles has received much attention in many fields (drug delivery, catalysts, inhalation exposure, toxicity, etc.), no appropriate instruments and methods for online measurements of GSA are readily available. Therefore, this study intends to develop a Geometric Surface Area Monitor (GSAM) to measure the GSA of spherical as well as model agglomerate/aggregate nanoparticles in nearly real-time. The GSAM has two versions: 1. The GSAM (I) consists of several existing techniques in series, including inertial impaction, unipolar charging, electrostatic precipitation, and electrical current measurement. The GSAM (I) was first evaluated and calibrated by measuring the GSA of monodisperse nanoparticles. Spherical, aggregate, and agglomerate nanoparticles were tested in the calibration. It was found that the measured electrical current was proportional to the surface area concentration. The calibration curves obtained from the measurements of monodisperse particles was then applied for polydisperse spherical particles and compared the measured GSA with that determined by the well-known scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) where the GSAM (I) had less than 10% of deviation compared with SMPS. 2. In the GSAM (II), the commercialized nanoparticle surface area monitor was used and slightly modified. The instrument responses under two different conditions were combined in a weighted sum (WS) fashion to correlate with the aerosol GSA concentration. We present the GSA concentration results and comparisons with well-known SMPS data in both laboratory testing and field measurement. For the laboratory testing, the two methods have a good…

▼ A leak in nanoparticle production equipment can cause large quantities of nanoparticles to be emitted into a workplace environment. Toxicity studies have shown hazards of inhaling nanoparticles; however these studies may not be using the proper particles. Physical and chemical changes may occur as these nanoparticles travel from the production site through ambient air, causing worker exposure. With the correct size and concentration known at distances from the leak, realistic worker exposure can be determined and appropriate worker protection and occupational monitoring schemes can be developed.
Different nanoparticle materials were produced with a diffusion burner and injected through an experimentally simulated leak into a wind tunnel (simulated workplace environment). The wind tunnel background face velocity was 0.25 m/s. Soot distributions (dg = 59 and dg = 113 nm) and TiO2 (dg = 21 nm) were used as the test aerosols. A smaller distribution of particles (dg < 8 nm) was also noticed at the injection site for soot and TiO2. Lung deposited surface area concentration was measured using a NSAM and the number size distribution was measured with a SMPS at distances of 0.9 m, 1.8 m, and 3.4 m (times of 3.6 s, 7.2 s, and 13.6 s, respectively) from the injection point. TEM images were gathered at the injection point and 3.4 m downstream.
The soot (dg = 113 nm) and TiO2 (dg = 21 nm) distributions produced loose, chain-type agglomerates at the injection point with primary particle sizes of dpp = 30 nm and dpp = 4.5 nm, respectively. These distributions experienced an increase in geometric mean particle size between the injection point and 0.9 m downstream. Surface area per particle (NSAM/SMPS ratio) also increased between the injection point and 0.9 m downstream. There was no additional particle change after 0.9 m. Primary particle size also increased after the injection point within the wind tunnel. Therefore the agglomerate size change may have been caused by the primary particle size change, as coagulation is an unlikely cause of particle growth in this situation. The soot (dg = 59 nm) aerosol was not relevant for this analysis.
The soot (dg = 59 nm) distribution was created using a Rich fuel/air mixture (φ = 2.05), which produced unburned fuel in the exhaust. When the simulated leak size was changed from 27 mm to 10 mm, the Richardson number of the leak changed from 197 to 0.42, and a bi-modal distribution formed at 0.9 m downstream (1st mode: dg = 16 nm, 2nd mode: dg = 70 nm). The first mode particle formation was likely caused by turbulent mixing of the leaked exhaust gases with background air, causing local supersaturation and new particle formation.

▼ By bioleaching metals can be economically recovered from low-grade ores and waste ore, which would not be possible traditional mining methods. In bioleaching, dissolution of metals from sulfide ores is catalyzed by chemolithoautotrophic microorganisms that can survive in the extremely acidic mining environment. In heap leaching as much as 99% of microorganisms responsible for bioleaching are attached to the ore surface. However, the microbial abundance and diversity analyses are typically performed from leach liquor samples and, thus may result in limited or even biased view of microbial communities within the heaps. Although various techniques have been used for cell detachment generally optimized methods do not exist. The aim of this study was to optimize a method for the detachment of microorganisms from ore surfaces.
Optimization was done using model organisms Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Sulfolobus metallicus and a mesophilic enrichment culture. Microbes for the enrichment originated from heap leach liquor samples from Terrafame mine located in Sotkamo, Finland. The experiments were conducted using agglomerate of polymetallic black schist ore which also originated from the Terrafame mine. Microorganisms were attached onto the ore surface by recirculating culture solution (180 mL) through a column containing 200 g ore agglomerate for 24 h. For detachment, homogenized 15-g subsamples were taken from the columns and subjected to sonication procedures. Bacterial and archaeal cell abundances were determined using quantitative PCR. Cell counts based on DAPI staining and microscopy were also performed, however, the reliability of the microscopy results was compromised by non-cellular particles after detachment procedures. The recovery percentages of microbes were compared using commercial soil DNA ex-traction kit with and without sonication pre-treatment.
With At. ferrooxidans, S. metallicus and enrichment culture over 94%, 99% and 95% of the cells were attached, respectively. Using commercial soil DNA extraction kit the percent recoveries of At. ferrooxidans and S. metallicus were 24±9 and 66±65, respectively. For At. ferrooxidans detachment with sonication pre-treatment was always more effective than without sonication pre-treatment. For S. metallicus detachment without sonication pre-treatment was more effective most of the time. Nevertheless, by using the optimized sonication pre-treatment percent recoveries up to 100% were achieved with both model organisms. With mixed culture 3.5±5% of the bacteria and 4.7±4% of the archaea were recovered without the sonication pre-treatment and the sonication did not improve the % recovery.
The attachment method used in this work demonstrated the fast attachment of bioleaching microorganisms to agglomerated ore matrix. Archaea attached to the ore agglomerate more effectively than bacteria and to our knowledge this is first time the difference in attachment to the ore surface between bacteria and archaea has been compared quantitatively. This work also demonstrated that…

▼ A água é essencial à manutenção da vida. No entanto, com as situações de estresse hídrico - disponibilidade hídrica inferior a 1.700 m per capita ao ano (FALKENMARK, 1989) - vivenciadas em diversos pontos do planeta, somadas ao acelerado crescimento da população mundial, os problemas relacionados ao uso da água tendem a aumentar. Neste contexto, a pegada hídrica (PH), que é um indicador de sustentabilidade ambiental, se torna uma importante ferramenta de gestão de recursos hídricos pois indica o consumo de água doce com base em seus usos. O presente trabalho objetiva mensurar a pegada hídrica em função das componentes industrial, doméstica e alimentar da população do bairro Rocinha, um aglomerado subnormal localizado no município do Rio de Janeiro. A pesquisa se deteve a um Estudo de Caso de 20 sub-bairros da comunidade. Sua abordagem foi quantitativa, contando com uma amostra de 203 domicílios, erro amostral de 7% e grau de confiança de 93%. Para tal, foi utilizada como ferramenta de cálculo o modelo Water Footprint Network do ano de 2005. Os resultados indicaram que, em média, a PH dos indivíduos que compõem a amostra é de 1715 m/ano per capita assim divididos: PH de consumo doméstico de água de 175 m/ano per capita (479 l/hab.dia); PH de produtos agrícolas igual a 1470 m/ano per capita, e PH de produtos industrializados de 70 m/ano per capita. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que os indivíduos da amostra com uma maior despesa mensal tendem a ter pegadas hídricas industrial e total também maiores.
Water is essential for sustaining life. However, the situations of hydric stress - less than 1.700 m per capita water availability per year (FALKENMARK, 1989) - experienced in many parts of the world, coupled with the rapid growth of the global population, the problems related to water use tend to increase. In this context, the water footprint (WF), which is an indicator of environmental sustainability becomes an important tool for water resource management indicates the consumption of fresh water based on their uses. This study aimed to measure the water footprint as a function of industrial components, domestic and feed of the population of the Rocinhas neighborhood, a cluster subnormal located in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. The research was focused on a case study of 20 sub-districts of the community. Its approach was quantitative, with a sample of 203 households, sampling error of 7% and confidence level of 93%. For this purpose, was used as the tool for calculating the Water Footprint Network model year 2005. The results indicated that, on average, the WF of the individuals in the sample is 1715 m/ year per capita divided as follows: WF of domestic water consumption of 175 m/ year per capita (479 l/ inhab.day), WF agricultural products equal to 1470 m/ year per capita, and WF industrial products 70 m/ year per capita. The results suggest that individuals in the sample with a higher monthly expenditure tend to have industrial water footprints and overall greater.

▼ In the past few years, the prominent achievement of economy in Taiwan has been called the â Taiwan Experienceâ or âThe Miracle of Economyâ. Urban is not only the place that people gather to take economic activities and live in groups, but also the area that produce and consume goods. Now the modern economy has expanded as the type of urban economic. Nowadays, service industry which has been the major industry during the transition of industrial structure in Taiwan could be an illustration that Taiwan is in the age of Service Economy, the functions of a city are going to be more various and delicate, and the division of industry is tending to be more professional. Though the service industry that just serves customers in the past canât totally meet the needs of the public, the growth of its high specialization and output value bridges the gap for the problems resulted from the manufacturing industry. Most important, the producer service industry has become the main industry in the world.
The purpose of this research is to understand the development in the present and tendency of producer service industry, and also to measure the space efficiency of producer service industry in 22 counties for three years by Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA). The research is divided into five parts: the first part includes research structure and literature review. The second part is to discuss and figure out the theory of DEA. The third part is to analyze the transition and development of producer service in present days. In the fourth part of the research measures the efficiency of producer service industry in 22 counties, in the mean time it estimates the relation of among efficiency,
agglomerate economy, city scale, public investment, and the development of other industries by regression analysis and chi-square test. Then the conclusions and recommendations would be discussed to government that makes the plans of economy industry policy and the development of producer service industry. The conclusions of this research are:
1.The producer service industry in Taiwan grows rapidly, and the industry gathers in Taipei city which Location Quotient is more than one . In addition, Taipei city plays the most role for industryâs output value, the numbers of employees and factories Moreover, the producer service industry in Taipei Metropolitan Area and other Metropolitan city gradually grows. Furthermore, the industry is expanding to the nearby metropolitan gradually.
2.The producer service industry and the industries in the producer service industry are influenced by Forward Linkage Effect. This shows that the industry grows rapidly following other industries development during the development of economy.
3.The producer service industry in Taipei city shows the excellent space efficiency. On the other hand, the some of 22 cities areas showed efficiency from 1986 to 1991, and the nearby metropolitan area also showed efficiency in 1996, especially in Taipei metropolitan area and in Kaohsiung metropolitan area.

▼ The behavior of clusters of particles ranging from the
nanometer scale to the micrometer scale impacts a number of
important processes. Dispersion of particle clusters is seen in
applications involving pharmaceutical tablets, detergent granules,
agglomerates of biological cells, and clusters of pigments or
fillers for advanced materials. As these clusters are subjected to
shearing forces associated with the motion of their host fluid,
they can be broken down into smaller fragments. Often, this is the
desirable outcome, but in other cases dispersion may be
undesirable. Previous research has analyzed and modeled dispersion
in simplified and idealized situations: steady, simple flows and
agglomerates of uniform structure. The current work aims to improve
the level of sophistication for the understanding of dispersion
processes by considering the effects of binders in particulate
agglomerate systems and the impact of unsteady dispersion
conditions, more representative of real dispersion scenarios.
Through experimental trials, practical limitations of our testing
protocols were clarified. Agglomerates made from compacted powders
provided the most control and consistency in response. Multiple
testing protocols were deemed key to clarifying the complex
interactions that impact particulate
agglomerate dispersion.
Packing effectiveness and molecular weight were found to impact the
characteristics of particulate agglomerates. The development of a
flexible and detailed simulation allowed predictions of dispersion
and enhanced understanding of the phenomenon. The discrete/distinct
element method (DEM) was adopted to study the behavior of single
nano-scale spherical agglomerates, immersed in a simple shear flow
field, in response to shearing under steady or dynamic/oscillatory
flow conditions. Results, in good agreement with reported
experimental trends, were used to demonstrate the functionality of
the three-dimensional simulation as a predictive and analytical
tool. The current model allows probing and prediction of dispersion
as a function of processing conditions,
agglomerate
structure/morphology, and material properties and interaction
forces with a level of detail not previously seen. The approach
will give insight into the dynamics of particulate break-up in real
mixing systems, provide a systematic means of evaluating the
relative importance of various forces in dispersion behavior, and
clarify the role of modifier and primary particle properties and
agglomerate morphology in dispersion.

▼ In an industrial Fluid CokerTM, liquid bitumen is injected into a bed of hot coke particles through spray nozzles, grouped in several banks at different vertical positions. The main objective of this thesis is to determine whether significant improvements in liquid-solid contact could be achieved by optimizing the location of the spray nozzles. In the coker regions where bitumen is injected, the gas is a mixture of product vapors and steam. Steam introduced at different levels rises through the coker: the stripping steam is injected near the bottom, then the attrition steam above the stripper and finally the bitumen atomization steam. As a result, the cross-sectional averaged gas velocity greatly varies vertically, from the lowest spray bank to the highest spray bank. In addition, there are large radial variations in gas velocity, as gas bubbles tend to concentrate in the central region of the bed. In this study, the impacts on liquid-solid contact of gas velocity and uneven gas distribution were investigated. The effects of spray pulsations and atomization gas flowrate on liquid distribution were also studied. Effects of bed hydrodynamics on the initial liquid distribution and on the subsequent drying were studied separately. The results indicate that jet pulsations or increasing the atomization gas flowrate improve the liquid distribution. Large improvements in liquid distribution were achieved by increasing the superficial gas velocity and also increasing the gas velocity at the end of the spray jet cavity, for all types of spray jets, pulsating or non-pulsating.

▼ In the Fluid Coking process, if the local concentration of liquid is very high, particles may stick together which can eventually result in process upset because of poor fluidization or even defluidization, a condition commonly known in industry as "bogging".
Using a capacitance sensor, the void distribution in a bed of coke particles can be visualized. The voidage fluctuations caused by gas bubbles have been shown to change dramatically as the bed becomes bogged. Therefore, capacitance sensors should be able to predict the bogging condition in fluid cokers.
The first part of the thesis focused on designing noiseless capacitance sensors that can be used to measure the liquid concentration and void distribution in a fluidized bed. The effect of bogging on the distribution of a liquid sprayed into fluidized bed was then investigated by determining the impact of bogging on the breakage rate of the liquid-solid agglomerates.
Pressure measurements are easier to perform in industrial units than capacitance measurements. The knowledge acquired with capacitance measurements was then applied to the design of early bogging detection methods from pressure measurements.
Detection of bogging with acoustic measurements is discussed in the next section. The speed of sound was measured at different levels of particles cohesiveness and fluidization velocities.
The last part of the thesis applies the capacitance sensors to the measurement of jet cavity fluctuations. Two types of jets were investigated: the supersonic gas jets and the jets formed when liquid is atomized with a gas into a fluidized bed.
Subjects/Keywords: Fluidized bed; bogging detection; capacitance measurements; agglomerate breakage; bubble properties; supersonic jet fluctuation; Process Control and Systems

▼ Formation of agglomerates in Fluid CokersTM can cause operating problems, such as excessive shed fouling, which can lead to premature unit shut down. Better understanding of how agglomerates move through a fluidized bed can help improve the design and operation of Fluid CokersTM and minimize the risk of agglomerates reaching regions where they cause problems.
To identify key factors in agglomerates motion in a fluidized bed, a new two-dimensional (2D) Radioactive Particle Tracking (RPT) method was developed which tracks model agglomerates motion. In conjunction, a tribo-electric method was used to determine bubble flow distribution in the fluidized bed.
This thesis outlines the effects of bed hydrodynamics and agglomerate properties on agglomerate motion. It was found that agglomerates produced by liquid injection in the fluidized bed were of similar density. Agglomerates larger than 9500 µm segregated near the bottom of the fluidized bed and all agglomerates spent more time in regions of low bubble flow.

▼ A series of steady-state microscopic continuum models of the cathode catalyst layer (active layer) of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell are developed and presented. This model incorporates O₂ species and ion transport while taking a discrete look at the platinum particles within the active layer. The original 2-dimensional axisymmetric Thin Film and
Agglomerate Models of Bultel, Ozil, and Durand [8] were initially implemented, validated, and used to generate various results related to the performance of the active layer with changes in the thermodynamic conditions and geometry. The
Agglomerate Model was then further developed, implemented, and validated to include among other things pores, flooding, and both humidified air and humidified O₂. All models were implemented and solved using FEMAP™ and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver, developed by Blue Ridge Numerics Inc. (BRNI) called CFDesign™. The use of these models for the discrete modeling of platinum particles is shown to be beneficial for understanding the behavior of a fuel cell. The addition of gas pores is shown to promote high current densities due to increased species transport throughout the
agglomerate. Flooding is considered, and its effect on the cathode active layer is evaluated. The model takes various transport and electrochemical kinetic parameters values from the literature in order to do a parametric study showing the degree to which temperature, pressure, and geometry are crucial to overall performance. This parametric study quantifies among a number of other things the degree to which lower porosities for thick active layers and higher porosities for thin active layers are advantageous to fuel cell performance. Cathode active layer performance is shown not to be solely a function of catalyst surface area but discrete catalyst placement within the
agglomerate.

▼ Un nouveau procédé, basé sur une adaptation innovante du principe de protection cathodique des ouvrages métalliques en milieu marin, consiste à favoriser la précipitation d’un agglomérat calcomagnésien sur plusieurs centimètres d’épaisseur. En présence de sable et de coquillages, cet agglomérat pourrait permettre de stabiliser des zones littorales en cours d’érosion ou d’améliorer l’ancrage d’enrochements brise-lames. L’objectif de ce travail est d’étudier et de comprendre les mécanismes réactionnels de formation de cet agglomérat permettant une précipitation en volume loin de la cathode afin d’en optimiser la vitesse de formation ainsi que ses propriétés mécaniques. Premièrement, il a été montré dans ces travaux que le milieu électrolytique pouvait influer sur la croissance du dépôt, avec une possible inhibition de formation de carbonate de calcium pour les faibles potentiels. L’influence des produits de corrosion dans le mécanisme de protection cathodique a également été mise en évidence grâce à des polarisations effectuées dans NaCl, eau de mer artificielle et naturelle. Deuxièmement, des essais d’un mois en courant imposé ont été menés du laboratoire jusqu’au site naturel, afin de se rapprocher des conditions réelles. La densité de courant appliquée ainsi que les conditions hydrodynamiques sont des facteurs clefs étroitement liés l’un à l’autre, influant sur la masse et le rapport Ca/Mg. Ces travaux ont aussi permis de mettre en avant l’influence du temps de polarisation sur la composition du dépôt calcomagnésien, présentant une cinétique de croissance stable mais une fluctuation de composition après 15, 30 et 60 jours. Cette variation interne du rapport Ca/Mg, attribuée à un processus de « dissolution/précipitation » dépendant du gradient de pH, ainsi que la répartition de ces éléments au sein du dépôt pourraient jouer un rôle majeur dans l’évolution de la tenue mécanique du dépôt au cours du temps.
A new method, based on an innovative adaptation of cathodic protection principle of metal structures in marine environment, is to promote the precipitation of a calcareous agglomerate several centimeters thick. In the presence of sand and shells, this cluster could stabilize coastal areas being eroded or improve anchorage of breakwater riprap. The objective of this work is to study and understand the reaction mechanisms allowing to create a voluminous calcareous deposit away from the cathode and to optimize deposition time as well as its mechanical properties. First, it was shown in this work that the electrolytic medium could affect the growth of the deposit, with a possible inhibition of formation of calcium carbonate fot the low potential. The influence of corrosion products in the cathodic protection mechanism was also highlighted through polarizations performed in NaCl, artificial and natural sea water. Second, one month test with impressed current were conducted from laboratory to natural site, in order to get closer of real conditions. Current density and hydrodynamic conditions are key factors closely…

▼ Narrowing the gap between theoretical and actual capacity in key Li-based battery systems can be achieved through improvements in both electronic and ionic conductivities of materials, via addition of conductive species. Additives do, however, penalize both volumetric and gravimetric properties, and also limit liquid transport and high rate performance. In this work, we developed techniques to design and optimize cathode system based directly on the relationships among ionic and electronic conductivities, and specific energy. We also investigated formation mechanisms, and resulting geometric characteristics in nanoparticle agglomerates, to systematically study percolation and conductivity in self-assembled structures.
In our study of selection of conductive additives, architectures of model composite cathodes, comprised of active material, graphite, carbon black, and PVDF, were generated using our prior approach in simulating polydisperse arrangements. A key finding of this portion of the work, was that the conductive coatings strongly influence conductivity, via reduction of contact resistance. Thus, we conclude that neither surface nor bulk modifications of active material particles conductivities seem to be desirable targets for improvement of laminate conductivity, for the ranges of materials studied.
In the cathode optimization study, our results quantified trade-offs among ionic and electronic conductivity, and conductivity and specific energy. We also provided quantitative relationships for improved utilization and specific power, with higher specific energy. Finally, we provided quantitative guidance for design of high energy density Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 cells using conductive additives, and also provided guidelines for design of cathode systems, based directly on solid and liquid phase transport limitations.
In the agglomeration and aggregation study, 3D, branchlike nanoparticle agglomerates were systematically studied via use of new algorithms in generation of such structures. Our findings in this portion of the study included the conclusion that Coulomb forces concentrated on the tip are likely root causes of the long chain-like shapes of observed clusters, creating branch-like soot agglomerates; particles tend to form a more compact and smaller cluster with van der Waals force. Under a certain combination of forces, including Coulomb and van der Waals forces, nanoparticles form self-similar structures with a specific fractal dimension.

▼ The hydrodynamic dispersibility of fine particle
agglomerates into polymeric media is affected by interparticle and
particle-medium interaction forces. Binders are used to modify
these interactions and ultimately, to enhance material properties
and control processability. While traditional binders change the
particle-particle and particle-matrix interactions to a degree that
depends primarily on the chemical nature of the additive and its
concentration within the
agglomerate, responsive binders present an
innovative alternative to control and improve the dispersion
phenomenon: agglomerates incorporating responsive polymers allow
the adjustment of particle-particle and particle-fluid interactions
by manipulating an external processing parameter. In this work, we
have used thermoresponsive binders, namely the linear and
crosslinked form of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) to
identify changes in the dispersion behavior of silica clusters
driven by the experimental temperature. The linear form of PNIPAM
shows a LCST (lower critical solution temperature) at around 32°C,
whereas the crosslinked PNIPAM networks show a swelling/shrinking
transition at about the same temperature. While in the case of the
linear binder, dispersion is enhanced at temperatures below 32°C,
the presence of the crosslinked binder changes dispersion behavior
in an opposite way. These developments are attributed to
modifications in the particle interfacial chemistry when linear
PNIPAM is adsorbed onto the silica surface, and to the disruption
of the
agglomerate structure caused by the swelling/shrinking
transition of the PNIPAM gel particles. A phenomenological model
accounting for the temperature effect induced by the presence of
PNIPAM hydrogels on
agglomerate cohesivity and dispersion behavior
has been developed. Predicted dispersion behavior at different
temperatures shows good agreement with experimental
data.

▼ Mixing studies of glass fibers and silica filler into
thermoplastics, two polypropylenes and polyamide 12, in co-rotating
twin screw extruder were carried out. Fiber length and
agglomerate
sizes were determined at various positions along the screw in the
twin screw extruder.The damage of glass fibers at various
conditions was investigated by varying viscosity, screw speed,
screw configuration and glass fiber length and diameter. Increasing
screw speed, melt matrix viscosity and glass fiber concentration
were found to increase the extent of fiber breakage. Based on our
experimental data and Euler buckling theory the composite modular
kinetic model to describe glass fiber damage was developed. Regions
of major and minor fiber breakage in co-rotating twin screw
extruder were established. The simulation program based on
experimental data and kinetic constants was developed. Comparisons
were made between simulated results and experimental data.Silica
agglomerates were characterized by measuring their mass average
values to avoid subjective result due to small filler particles.
Silica
agglomerate sizes as effected by viscosity, screw speed and
filler concentration in co-rotating twin screw extruder were
studied. The composite modular kinetic model for evaluating silica
agglomerate breakup was developed. The kinetic constants of breakup
and re-agglomeration for various conditions were calculated based
on the stresses applied to agglomerates and their cohesive
strength. Experimental data were compared with calculated
results.Generally, calculated results from the modified kinetic
model of glass fiber and silica filler breakup showed reasonable
agreement with experimental data.

▼ Trabalho Final de Mestrado elaborado no Laboratório de Engenharia Civil para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Engenharia Civil na Área de Especialização de Edificações no âmbito do protocolo de cooperação entre o ISEL e o LNEC
O interesse do estudo sobre a aplicação do aglomerado de cortiça expandida como revestimento exterior surge da constatação de dois fatores críticos numa perspetiva de desenvolvimento sustentável: a utilização de um produto constituído por um recursonatural renovável – a cortiça – e a preocupação em poder vir a contribuir para uma maior sustentabilidade na construção.
O aglomerado de cortiça expandida é um produto que reutiliza resíduos de cortiça – a falca – e com um processo de fabrico não poluente, o qu e reforça o interesse em investigar a sua utilização como revestimento exterior de paredes com características de isolante térmico .
Sendo esta utilização relativamente recente, apenas há cerca de dez anos, ciente da necessidade de conhecer mais sobre a sua viabilidade ainda há muito a conhecer sobre a fiabilidade das características a longo prazo e as vantagens da sua aplicação como revestimento exterior.
Neste contexto o presente estudo visa aprofundar e confirmar aspetos, alguns deles mal estudados e até desconhecidos, que têm a ver com as características que poderão fazer do aglomerado uma boa escolha enquanto revestimento exterior.
A análise dessas características e de outras ainda desconhecidas foi realizada em condições reais de exposição, numa célula experimental no LNEC, e em laboratório através de diversos ensaios em ambas as condições. Os resultados pretendem não só confirmar aspetos conhecidos como contribuir para a criação de soluções que melhorem o desempenho do aglomerado, para que este possa vir a ser, num futuro próximo, uma opção viável e preferida como revestimento exterior.
The interest of the study on the implementation of expanded cork agglomerate as exterior cladding comes from the observation of two critical factors in a perspective of sustainable development: the use of a product consisting of a renewable natural material - cork -; and the concern to contribute to greater sustainability in construction.
The expanded cork agglomerate is a product that re -uses cork waste - the “falca” - and a non-polluting manufacturing process, which strengthens the interest in investigati ng its use as external finishing with thermal insulation characteristics.
Once this use is relatively recent, only about ten years old, one being aware of the need to know more about its viability, there is still much to learn about the reliability of the long term characteristics and advantages of itsapplication as exterior cladding.
In this context, this study aims to deepen and confirm aspects, some of them poorly studied and even unknown, aspects that deal with characteristics that will do of the agglomerate a good choice…
