A study of transient particle coarsening

Efforts were concentrated on numerically modeling the time-dependent particle coarsening (Ostwald ripening) process. Four models were included: Lifshsitz-Slyozov-Wagner, Brailsford and Wynblatt, Marqusee and Ross, and Marder. The simulations monitored the particle size distribution (PSD) as a function of time; initial PSDs were derived from classical nucleation theory. The ripening kinetics can be represented as a plot of the second moment of normalized PSD vs time. A geometric correction factor is discussed. Future research is planned on Al-Li.

Hydrogen generation during IDMS demonstrations of the Late Washing and Nitric Acid flowsheets (open access)

Hydrogen generation during IDMS demonstrations of the Late Washing and Nitric Acid flowsheets

Recently, Late Washing (LW) and Nitric Acid (NA) flowsheets, developed respectively for the DWPF at Savannah River Technology Center SPC and CPC, were demonstrated in the one-fifth scale DWPF pilot facilities, PHEF and IDMS. Using the LW flowsheet, four runs in the PHEF produced enough PHA for two runs in the IDMS (denoted by PX4 and PX5). One of the objectives of these IDMS runs was to obtain peak hydrogen generation rates and compare them to the peak hydrogen generation rate design basis obtained from a previous IDMS run, based on the HAN and Formic Acid (HAN-FA) flowsheets.
