Production And Adsorption Of Volatile Tellurium Hexafluoride, Stephanie H. Bruffey
Production And Adsorption Of Volatile Tellurium Hexafluoride, Stephanie H. Bruffey
Doctoral Dissertations
Research and development supporting the management of off-gases from nuclear fuel reprocessing has historically been focused on the off-gas streams that arise from aqueous reprocessing technology. With the advent of advanced reactor designs off-gas streams arising from advanced reprocessing methodology, such as that of FV [fluoride volatility] processing, also merit consideration. This work focuses on TeF6 [tellurium hexafluoride], one of the most volatile radioactive compounds produced during FV, and investigates TeF6 production, measurement, and abatement technologies.
To assist in on-line monitoring of TeF6 by Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, this work systematically used the ideal gas law and Beer’s …
Adsorption And Transport Of Colloids At Interface And In Bulk, Jingyun Lee
Adsorption And Transport Of Colloids At Interface And In Bulk, Jingyun Lee
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Colloids are suspensions of microscopic insoluble particles dispersed in a continuum phase such as liquid or gas. Colloids are found in our everyday life from food and cosmetic industries to pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Depending on a global minimum of the free-energy landscape, colloidal suspensions can be classified as two major classes: equilibrium or active colloidal system. This Ph.D dissertation presents strategies to engineer equilibrium self-assembled structures and out-of-equilibrium active matter using various interparticle forces.
First, we introduce the means to promote the equilibrium self-assembled structures driven by adsorption of colloids at interface. Typically, adsorption of colloids at interface is …
