Experimental validation of an organic rankine-vapor compression cooling cycle using low GWP refrigerant R1234ze(E)

There is a significant global opportunity to capture and utilize low grade waste heat to reduce fossil fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and improve energy efficiency across a wide range of industries. In this work, an advanced type of thermally activated cooling system, an organic Rankine-vapor compression cycle (ORVC) with novel heat integration strategies, was designed and tested at a relevant scale for industrial waste heat recovery (300 kW th cooling capacity). The ORVC linked an organic Rankine power cycle and a vapor compression cooling cycle using a turbine and compressor that shared a single shaft. The ORVC test facility absorbed waste heat from a liquid stream at 91 °C to simulate engine coolant in diesel generator sets, rejected heat to a glycol stream at 30 °C, and generated chilled water at 7 °C. A cooling capacity of 264 kW ± 3.5 kW was experimentally validated with a COP of 0.56 ± 0.01 during steady-state operation at the design temperatures. The thermal efficiency, accounting for pump work, of the Rankine cycle was 7.7% ± 0.22% and the COP of the vapor compression cycle was 5.25 ± 0.09. The centrifugal turbo-compressor operated at 31.5 kRPM ± 0.3 kRPM, with a turbine and compressor isentropic efficiencies of 76.7% ± 0.90% and 84.8% ± 0.54%, respectively, with near-perfect power transmission between these components. The pressure drop in the piping and heat exchangers were significantly larger than expected which had a detrimental impact on the performance of the ORVC. In addition, the condenser on the cooling cycle could not deliver the subcooling as specified from the design point modeling. Furthermore, the results from the sensitivity analysis showed that the higher condenser glycol outlet temperature had the largest impact on performance, which is consistent with other analytical models in the literature. When the ORVC simulations were updated with experimental values for isentropic efficiencies of the turbomachinery, the thermal COP was 0.66 which represents an estimate of the predicted performance if test facility limitations are overcome.

Experimental demonstration of high-temperature (>1000 °C) heat extraction from a moving-bed oxidation reactor for thermochemical energy storage

Previously developed reduction-oxidation (redox) thermochemical energy storage technologies must store their products at high temperatures, complicating handling and transportation. This work describes a countercurrent, tubular, moving bed oxidation reactor at laboratory scale that produces high grade heat and allows solids to enter and exit the system at ambient temperatures. The particles implemented in the system consist of a novel magnesium manganese-oxide material well-suited for thermochemical energy storage. Output heat is obtained via a separate extraction gas flow, which exits from the middle portion of the main reactor tube. With this design, reactor temperatures in excess of 1000°C and extraction temperatures above 950°C were achieved. Deviation between the two measurements is a result of extraction thermocouple placement and losses in the reactor extraction arm; improvements to these parameters would bring the extraction temperature closer to the bed temperature. The reactor produces enough energy via oxidation to sustain both heat extraction and continued chemical reaction. During one representative steady state experiment at a particle flow rate of 1.5 g/s, an average of 447 W was extracted from the reactor out of an estimated 1083 W of released chemical energy for a duration of 70 minutes. Among the four experiments, the maximum bench-scale oxidation reactor energy efficiency of 36.2% and corresponding round-trip efficiency of 13.7% considering both redox reactors were demonstrated. Characteristics of an ideal system are considered and future improvements are proposed.

Selectivity of tris complexation for Ni(II), Co(II), and Fe(II) and its effect on carbonate precipitation under alkaline conditions

Simultaneous critical element recovery and ex-situ carbon mineralization of low-grade ultramafic deposits have garnered increasing interest. Understanding the selectivity of metal complexing organic ligands for various divalent metals present in ultramafic rocks during carbonate mineralization is required to optimize this process. Here we evaluate 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (i.e., Tris) as a model for bidentate ligands that bind divalent metals with both amine and alcohol groups in alkaline conditions (pH 8–10.5) at 25 °C and 80 °C in carbonate-buffered solutions. Protonated Tris forms a stronger complex with metal ions and is selective for trace metals with Ni(II) > Co(II) > Fe(II) during carbonate precipitation, with the rates decreasing but selectivity increasing at lower temperature and lower pH. At 25 °C, metastable amorphous hydrated carbonates form, regardless of the amount of Tris present or pH values. At 80 °C and pH 8, the Co and Fe carbonates that form are a mixture of rosasite-group minerals (Co 2 CO 3 (OH) 2 (H 2 O) and Fe 2 CO 3 (OH) 2 ) and pure carbonates (sphaerocobaltite: CoCO 3 and siderite: FeCO 3 ), with the latter more stabilized with increasing Tris concentration. In mixed metal solutions without Tris at 25 °C where Fe:Ni or Fe:Co is 2:1, Fe increases the rates of Ni or Co carbonate precipitation. However, with increasing Tris concentration the presence of Ni or Co inhibits Fe carbonate precipitation. At 80 °C without Tris, Ni or Co substitute into the iron chukanovite (Fe 2 CO 3 (OH) 2 ) lattice, increasing Ni or Co carbonate precipitation rates. Increasing Tris concentration only slightly inhibits Fe and Co precipitation, but slows Ni precipitation up to 10 times, with Fe progressively partitioning into more pure carbonate phases with distinct crystalline morphologies. These findings suggest bidentate amine-bearing ligands may be effective at Ni and Co recovery during carbon mineralization of Fe-bearing ultramafic deposits at relatively low temperatures and slightly alkaline pH.

High-throughput additive manufacturing and characterization of refractory high entropy alloys

Refractory High Entropy Alloys (RHEAs) and Refractory Complex Concentrated Alloys (RCCAs) are high-temperature structural alloys ideally suited for use in harsh environments. While these alloys have shown promising structural properties at high temperatures that exceed the practical limits of conventional alloys, such as Ni-based superalloys, exploration of the complex phase-space of these materials remains a significant challenge. We report on a high-throughput alloy processing and characterization methodology, leveraging laser-based metal additive manufacturing (AM) and mechanical testing techniques, to enable rapid exploration of RHEAs/RCCAs. We utilized in situ alloying and compositional grading, unique to AM processing, to rapidly-produce RHEAs/RCCAs using readily available and inexpensive commercial elemental powders. We demonstrate this approach with the MoNbTaW alloy system, as a model material known for having exceptionally high strength at elevated temperature when processed using conventional methods (e.g., casting). Microstructure analysis, chemical composition, and strain rate dependent hardness of AM-processed material are presented and discussed in the context of understanding the structure-properties relationships of RHEAs/RCCAs.

Parametric optimization of PCM-enhanced underground thermal energy storage for buildings in moderate cold climates

This study presents a novel underground thermal energy storage (UTES) system designed for space heating in buildings located in moderate cold climates. The proposed UTES features a borehole with a depth of 25 ft. (7.62 m) and a diameter of 3 ft. (0.91 m), containing two helical pipe loops-one for discharge fluid and another for recharge fluid-and a thermally enhanced phase change material (PCM) layer that provides high energy storage capacity. The system requires daily thermal recharging using a low-grade heat source for a few hours and delivers continuous heating at a nearly constant discharge rate without significant performance degradation over a 24-h period. This study demonstrates that the optimized UTES, when recharged with hot fluid at an inlet temperature of 40 degrees C for 6 h daily, can provide a continuous heat discharge rate of approximately 2.9 kW for 24 h or 3.4 kW if operated under a shorter discharge period of 15 h (17:00-08:00). With a round-trip efficiency of 72-97%, the proposed UTES offers an efficient and reliable solution for short- and long-duration thermal energy storage technology, making it a promising technology for cold climates.

Mitigation of spatial nonstationarity with vision transformers

Spatial nonstationarity, the location variance of features’ statistical distributions, is ubiquitous in many natural settings. For example, in geological reservoirs rock matrix porosity varies vertically due to geomechanical compaction trends, in mineral deposits grades vary due to sedimentation and concentration processes, in hydrology rainfall varies due to the atmosphere and topography interactions, and in metallurgy crystalline structures vary due to differential cooling. Conventional geostatistical modeling workflows rely on the assumption of stationarity to be able to model spatial features for geostatistical inference. Nevertheless, this is often not a realistic assumption when dealing with nonstationary spatial data and this has motivated a variety of nonstationary spatial modeling workflows such as trend and residual decomposition, cosimulation with secondary features, and spatial segmentation and independent modeling over stationary subdomains. The advent of deep learning technologies has enabled new workflows for modeling spatial relationships. However, there is a paucity of demonstrated best practice and general guidance on mitigation of spatial nonstationarity with deep learning in the geospatial context. We demonstrate the impact of two common types of geostatistical spatial nonstationarity on deep learning model prediction performance and propose the mitigation of such impacts using self-attention (vision transformer) models. We demonstrate the utility of vision transformers for the mitigation of nonstationarity with relative errors as low as 10%, exceeding the performance of alternative deep learning methods such as convolutional neural networks. We establish best practice by demonstrating the ability of self-attention networks for modeling large-scale spatial relationships in the presence of commonly observed geospatial nonstationarity.

A novel method for quantifying irradiation damage in nuclear graphite using Raman spectroscopy

Raman spectroscopy has long been used in studying irradiation damage in carbon/graphite materials. It is however unclear if the measurements from different types of materials are directly comparable. Further, decoupling the contribution from irradiation temperature and fluence to the total damage in nuclear graphite possessing irradiation damage gradient is currently not readily feasible as it requires a complete set of test reactor irradiation experiments over the relevant temperature and fluence range. A novel methodology has therefore been proposed and developed to quantify total irradiation damage evolution at crystal level based on graphite Raman G-band position shift. Specifically, G-band positions derived from a large number of spectra collected from the fractured surface of microfine-grained POCO ZXF-5Q graphite possessing proton irradiation damage gradient were plotted with open literature Raman data on HOPG, BEPO (AXGP graphite), PCEA and IG-110 graphite as a function of dpa. The total damage level within 2σ beam radius in this POCO graphite was estimated to be equivalent to ~2–5 dpa at ~350–370 °C. Derived G-band positions were then mapped to the three-stage amorphization trajectory model indicating beam centre area has entered the second stage, i.e., transitioning from nanocrystalline graphite into amorphous carbon. G-band position relative shift (ΔG) curve with a ‘turn-around’ peak as a function of total damage can be used for in-service lifetime prediction. Importantly, the developed methodology has the potential to ‘unify’ total damage levels across different grades of nuclear graphite caused by ion, neutron and proton irradiation at different temperatures.

A new perspective on density and strength loss profiles at the surface of thermally oxidized nuclear graphite

Oxidation of graphite components could influence their designed life in a high-temperature nuclear reactor. The oxidized regions could potentially lower the allowed stress capacity. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers rules for the design and construction of graphite-moderated reactors recommend that subsurface regions that might become excessively damaged by oxidation during reactor operation be identified and excluded from geometry and stress calculations. Identification of oxidation-affected regions is possible, in principle, through complex modeling exercises of reactor behavior during hypothetical accident scenarios coupled with graphite oxidation models, but this procedure may not have the precision needed for informed decisions. Here, this paper proposes an alternate method, based on interpretation of a series of well-designed oxidation experiments, which could augment the designer's tools. The procedure is illustrated by data on oxidation by air of several graphite grades (NBG-18, PCEA, IG-110, R4-650) that are corroborated with independent literature information, when available. The Wichner model for graphite oxidation used for this analysis provides conservative results that could be quickly implemented in the design process.

Materials property changes in ETU-10 graphite due to neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures

Graphite grade ETU-10, from IBIDEN Co., Ltd. Has been irradiated in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The irradiation program was developed to provide a preliminary study the irradiation-induced property changes to the dimensions/volume, elastic properties, strength, electrical resistivity, coefficient of thermal expansion, and thermal diffusivity/conductivity over a range of temperatures and neutron exposures that may be relevant for future nuclear reactors. The irradiation envelope covers a range of irradiation temperatures (300°C–900 °C) and fluences (up to 40 × 10 25 n/m 2 [E > 0.1 MeV] or ~30 dpa) that would be relevant for advanced nuclear reactors. Further, the dimensional change was observed to be anisotropic for an isotropic graphite, the specimen dimensions, volume, Young's modulus, shear modulus, and strength all displayed a parabolic fluence dependence, the electrical resistivity had a rapid rise followed by a decrease and a later increase, at high fluence the mean coefficient of thermal expansions was similar for all irradiation temperatures, and thermal conductivity rapidly decreased followed by a continued loss.

Hydrogen uptake in graphite matrix at high temperature

Tritium management is a critical challenge for the next generation of nuclear reactors, such as Fluoride Salt Cooled High Temperature Reactors (FHRs) and High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGRs), due to the higher production rate (up to 10,000 times) than conventional Light Water Reactors (LWRs). Graphitic materials employed as moderator, reflector, and fuel pebbles offer a potential pathway for tritium recovery by serving as a sink for tritium. Prediction of uptake capacity under reactor relevant conditions remains a challenge due to a lack of low partial pressure data and significant inter-grade variability of graphite. This study addresses these gaps by providing a comprehensive characterization of hydrogen (as a tritium surrogate) uptake and release behavior in the A3-3 graphite matrix (GM) used in fuel pebbles. Uptake measurements are performed at reactor relevant temperatures of 600- 800 °C, 1-200 Torr hydrogen pressure, and 15-120 min equilibration time, followed by thermal desorption spectroscopy up to 1100 °C. Uptake experiments at different equilibration times demonstrate the role of kinetics in hydrogen uptake, which can be modeled as a diffusion-with-trapping process. In the thermodynamics limit, the Sips adsorption model is shown to capture the uptake in A3-3 GM well. Our campaign provides a set of new results for hydrogen uptake in A3-3, including limiting uptake capacity at 600 °C, apparent diffusion coefficient at 600 °C, and the first estimates of the FHR/HTGR relevant (600 °C, 20 Pa partial pressure) equilibrium uptake capacity and time to saturation. Desorption data highlights a new site for hydrogen uptake, not observed in nuclear graphite, which we attribute to the non-graphitized binder. Using the Kissinger method, we estimate activation energy for release from the desorption peaks, confirming the activation energy for release from the basal planes and providing the first estimate for the activation energy of release from the binder.

Histopathologic and proteogenomic heterogeneity reveals features of clear cell renal cell carcinoma aggressiveness

Clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs) represent ∼75% of RCC cases and account for most RCC-associated deaths. Inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) results in varying prognosis and treatment outcomes. To obtain the most comprehensive profile of ccRCC, we perform integrative histopathologic, proteogenomic, and metabolomic analyses on 305 ccRCC tumor segments and 166 paired adjacent normal tissues from 213 cases. Combining histologic and molecular profiles reveals ITH in 90% of ccRCCs, with 50% demonstrating immune signature heterogeneity. High tumor grade, along with BAP1 mutation, genome instability, increased hypermethylation, and a specific protein glycosylation signature define a high-risk disease subset, where UCHL1 expression displays prognostic value. Single-nuclei RNA sequencing of the adverse sarcomatoid and rhabdoid phenotypes uncover gene signatures and potential insights into tumor evolution. In vitro cell line studies confirm the potential of inhibiting identified phosphoproteome targets. This study molecularly stratifies aggressive histopathologic subtypes that may inform more effective treatment strategies.

The effect of pore structure in ethane-selective metal-organic frameworks for ethylene purification

Separation of ethylene from ethane is of great importance in petrochemical industry. Adsorptive separation making use of porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is an energy efficient technology compared to the conventional cryogenic distillation. However, preferential adsorption of ethylene over ethane represents the major current challenge. Here we demonstrate how pore structure can significantly alter the adsorption selectivity in two isoreticular Zr-MOFs. A simple ligand functionalization in UiO-66 yields smaller/better matching pore for ethane, and weaker interaction with ethylene, greatly enhancing ethane/ethylene selectivity in MOF-801. Ab initio calculations combined with in situ infrared spectroscopic analysis unveil the nature of host-guest interactions and differences in the overall binding energies. Polymer-grade ethylene (99.9%) can be produced directly from ethane/ethylene mixture in a single step. Having well-balanced adsorption capacity and selectivity, low-cost synthesis and easy scalability MOF-801 stands out as a promising ethane-selective adsorbent for one-step ethylene purification under ambient conditions.

Unleashing the potential of waste: A supercharged high-performance 3D printing resin from discarded polylactic acid

In additive manufacturing/3D printing, the limitation no longer lies in people’s imagination but in the very materials that one can print with. While the additive manufacturing process can virtually create any geometry, available applications are often limited by factors like parts’ mechanical strength, glass transition temperature, and heat deflection temperature. These factors are especially critical for polymer-based printing. Here we introduce a simple formulation derived from the aminolysis of polylactic acid (PLA) plastic waste, namely the N-lactoyl ethanolamine (N-LEA). The N-LEA is next reacted with excess methacrylic anhydride, forming a photo-crosslinkable resin for MSLA 3D printing. The resulting 3D printed part has a set of impressive properties that is unrivaled amongst engineering grade 3D printing resins on the market and research literature. The 3D printed part has an ultrahigh tensile strength of 131.7 MPa, glass transition at ~190 °C, and heat deflection temperature at 162.6 °C. Furthermore, this work demonstrates a true upcycling approach for turning PLA waste into a value-added product in a simple and efficient manner while also expanding the high-performance material portfolio available for photocuring additive manufacturing.

Selectively extracting lithium from single and mixed cathode materials

With the burgeoning reliance on lithium-ion batteries for sustainable energy solutions and electric transportation, the environmental and resource management associated with battery disposal are increasingly critical. Addressing these challenges necessitates innovative recycling techniques that recover valuable battery components, particularly lithium. This research introduces a universal, eco-friendly approach tailored for the efficient selective extraction of lithium from both single and mixed cathode materials, achieving impressive selective leaching efficiencies of lithium (99.51 % for LFP, 90 % for NMC, and 97.24 % for mixed cathode). Surprisingly, leaching efficiency of lithium from NMC can be significantly improved by introducing LFP since LFP can remove the dense transition-metal salts on the surface of NMC. The extracted lithium is recovered as lithium carbonate with battery-grade purity. This study also highlights the reuse of formic acid and the adoption of oxygen as an oxidizing agent to prevent wastewater production. Therefore, this method provides a robust foundation for sustainable lithium battery recycling.

Hydration of potassium citrate-activated BOF slag

Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) slag is currently utilized with low-grade applications or landfilled. Here, we investigate a novel route to upgrade BOF slag to a high-performance binder by chemical activation with tri-potassium citrate. The impact of tri-potassium citrate on hydration and phase assemblage of BOF slag is analyzed with a multi-technique approach. Results reveal that the addition of tri-potassium citrate considerably enhances the reactivity of brownmillerite and accelerates the hydration of belite at early ages. The majority of brownmillerite hydrates within 24 h, and the reaction kinetics is controlled by the activator dosage. The main products of BOF slag hydration are siliceous hydrogarnet and C-S-H gel. Acting as a strong water reducer, tri-potassium citrate enables the manufacture of slag pastes with high compressive strength (up to 75 MPa at 28 days) and low porosity. Leaching of heavy metals from the slag pastes fulfills the Dutch Soil Quality Decree limits.

3D printing of calcined clay-limestone-based cementitious materials

This paper aims to investigate the influences of high Portland cement substitutions (>60 wt%) by low-grade calcined clay (CC) and limestone (LF) on 3D concrete printability, stiffness evolution and early-age hydration. Results show that, with the same dosage of admixtures (superplasticizer and viscosity modifier), increasing LF and CC content reduced the slump, flowability and initial material flow rate, and significantly improved the buildability of fresh mixtures, which can be attributed to the reduced water film thickness (WFT). Furthermore, the stiffness evolution and SSA{sub total} development up to the first 3 h were accelerated by increasing CC content, which can also be linked to the change of WFT, and consumption of superplasticizer for the dispersion induced by hydration products. Additionally, the dilution effect on compressive strength and hydration caused by the high cement replacement was observed.

Elucidating key reducing species beyond ions in hydrogen plasma smelting reduction of iron ore

Hydrogen plasma smelting reduction (HPSR) of iron ore has attracted significant attention over the past decade due to its high-temperature operation, rapid plasma mediated reduction kinetics, and simpler density-based separation of molten iron product, compared to H2-based solid-state reduction. All of these attributes enable processing of low-grade ores for downstream use in electric-arc furnaces, as virgin iron with low gangue content is required for high quality steel and improved furnace operation. While positive ions exist within the plasma arc, this work demonstrates that near the anodic ore surface, hydrogen radicals and vibrationally excited hydrogen species dominate and their densities correlate well with observed reduction rates. Species concentrations in the transferred plasma arc and at the plasma-ore interface are evaluated using coupled thermal plasma and near-wall non-equilibrium plasma models. The thermal plasma model is validated against experimental voltage data and spectroscopic measurements of plasma temperature and density for varying current inputs. Modeling of the near surface thermochemical non-equilibrium and micrometer scale anode sheath layer reveals, in addition to the expected H + , significant concentrations of ArH + and H$^+_3$ ions, typically not observed in thermal plasmas under thermodynamic equilibrium. Our results show that the inverted sheath structure at the anodic ore surface strongly suppresses reactive positive ion fluxes, while non-equilibrium electron-impact processes generate abundant hydrogen radicals and vibrationally excited species. These findings highlight the critical role of non-equilibrium effects in hydrogen arc-driven iron ore reduction and advance understanding beyond prevailing hypotheses centered on hydrogen ion-driven mechanisms.

Computer-aided classification of suspicious pigmented lesions using wide-field images

Early identification of melanoma is conducted through whole-body visual examinations to detect suspicious pigmented lesions, a situation that fluctuates in accuracy depending on the experience and time of the examiner. Computer-aided diagnosis tools for skin lesions are typically trained using pre-selected single-lesion images, taken under controlled conditions, which limits their use in wide-field scenes. Here, we propose a computer-aided classifier system with such input conditions to aid in the rapid identification of suspicious pigmented lesions at the primary care level. 133 patients with a multitude of skin lesions were recruited for this study. All lesions were examined by a board-certified dermatologist and classified into “suspicious” and “non-suspicious”. A new clinical database was acquired and created by taking Wide-Field images of all major body parts with a consumer-grade camera under natural illumination condition and with a consistent source of image variability. 3–8 images were acquired per patient on different sites of the body, and a total of 1759 pigmented lesions were extracted. A machine learning classifier was optimized and build into a computer aided classification system to binary classify each lesion using a suspiciousness score. In a testing set, our computer-aided classification system achieved a sensitivity of 100% for suspicious pigmented lesions that were later confirmed by dermoscopy examination (“SPL_A”) and 83.2% for suspicious pigmented lesions that were not confirmed after examination (“SPL_B”). Sensitivity for non-suspicious lesions was 72.1%, and accuracy was 75.9%. With these results we defined a suspiciousness score that is aligned with common macro-screening (naked eye) practices. This work demonstrates that wide-field photography combined with computer-aided classification systems can distinguish suspicious from non-suspicious pigmented lesions, and might be effective to assess the severity of a suspicious pigmented lesions. We believe this approach could be useful to support skin screenings at a population-level.
