Xenon Trapping
Xenon (Xe) atoms are trapped in silicate nanocages in contact with a metal surface. The atoms can be trapped at moderate temperatures (> 300 K) and released by heating to elevated temperatures (> 750 K). This can benefit several applications, including Xe production, nuclear power, nuclear waste remediation, and nonpro liferation of nuclear weapons. More details can be found in...
Xenon (Xe) is a valuable and scarce noble gas used in various applications, including lighting, electronics, and anesthetics, among many others. It is also a volatile byproduct of the nuclear fission of uranium. A novel material architecture consisting of silicate nanocages in contact with a metal surface and an approach for trapping single Xe atoms in these cages is presented. The trapping is done...
The effects of temperature changes on the particle orientation of a consolidated kaolin are studied using XRD experiments. Two sets of equipment were utilized in this study: a benchtop equipment, and a synchrotron beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The kaolin specimens tested in the benchtop XRD were subjected to elevated and freezing...
This study aims to quantify the effect of heating and freezing temperatures on the pore size distribution of saturated clays. Three kaolinite clay specimens were subjected to different temperatures: 20, 70, and − 10 °C. Upon achieving the desired temperature for each specimen, the specimens were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen to preserve their microstructure. Each specimen was, then, freeze-dried...
