Advanced Microstructure Optimization Strategies for High-Temperature CO2 Electrolysis: Infiltration and In-situ Exsolution
DownloadSpring 2020
The solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) has attracted increased attention in recent years due to its capability to reduce CO2 emissions in a highly efficient and environmentally sustainable fashion. Previous work in our group has fabricated an A-site Ce doped La0.7Sr0.3Cr0.5Fe0.5O3- (LSCeCrF)...

Micron-size particle suspensions are very common in industrial processes such as mineral extraction and wastewater treatment. These particles are difficult to separate from the fluid media due to their size. The formation of aggregates increases the effective size of these particles, increasing...

AGGREGATE EVOLUTION IN SHEAR FLOW: NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE ROLE OF COHESIVE AND HYDRODYNAMIC FORCES
DownloadFall 2021
Multiphase flows with a dispersed phase of micron-sized solid particles are common to many industrial applications, ranging from wastewater treatment to metal purification. These particles are in a size range where surface forces are significant, and thus are likely to form aggregates. When these...

In many applications, it is desired to separate unwanted fine particulates from a liquid by gravity settling. An efficient separation, however, will be feasible only if a combination of aggregation and sedimentation occurs. To understand the kinetics of such a process, a mathematical model that...

Spring 2011
A major challenge to any “solvent-based” bitumen extraction technology is the removal of suspended fine solids from the hydrocarbon medium (i.e. diluted bitumen). To address this problem, we examined how colloidal solids could be made to aggregate in a hydrocarbon medium and thus be separated by...

Spring 2014
Environmental concerns about water-based extraction necessitate the development of an alternative non-aqueous extraction method. One of the challenges that any non-aqueous extraction process is encountered is the elimination of suspended fine solids from solvent-diluted bitumen. This study...
