Effect of blastfurnace slag addition to Portland cement for cationic exchange resins encapsulation
2013
In the nuclear industry, cement-based materials are extensively used to encapsulate spent ion exchange resins (IERs) before their final disposal in a repository. It is well known that the cement has to be carefully selected to prevent any deleterious expansion of the solidified waste form, but the reasons for this possible expansion are not clearly established. This work aims at filling the gap. The swelling pressure of IERs is first investigated as a function of ions exchange and ionic strength. It is shown that pressures of a few tenths of MPa can be produced by decreases in the ionic strength of the bulk solution, or by ion exchanges (2Na + instead of Ca 2+ , Na + instead of K + ). Then,…
Influence of brine concentration on swelling pressure of pork meat throughout salting.
2009
Abstract The influence of sodium chloride on the water holding capacity of meat is well known and described in literature. An increase in water holding capacity is associated with an increase in the swelling pressure in the protein matrix. A novel device was used to measure the swelling pressure during brine salting of muscle cylinders (40 × 50 mm), in different NaCl brine concentrations (2.5 to 25%) over 6 days at 4 °C. Changes in meat composition, weight and height of non-constrained control samples were also measured. The aim of this work was to prove the feasibility of using the developed device in order to quantify the influence of the brine concentration on the magnitude of the swelli…
Volume change response and fabric evolution of granular MX80 bentonite along different hydro-mechanical stress paths
2022
AbstractDespite the increasing understanding of bentonite behaviour, there is still missing evidence on how different hydro-mechanical loadings, including sequences of hydration and compression, affect the fabric and the volume change behaviour of the material. It is generally assumed that the interplay between the behaviour of clay assemblages and the overall fabric of the material is the reason of having final states that are dependent on the stress path followed. Here the results of an experimental campaign aiming to study these factors are reported and discussed. Free swelling and swelling pressure tests were performed, both followed by compression to a relatively high stress. The exper…
Modellvorstellungen und Versuche zur Spannungsrißkorrosion in hochpolymeren Stoffen
1963
Die Vorgange wahrend der Spannungsriskorrossion sind bei Metallen und bei Kunststoffen aus langen Kettenmolekulen wesentlich verschieden. Die innere Beweglichkeit der Kettenmolekule erlaubt es, vor allem in Gegenwart von Quellmitteln oder bei erhohter Temperatur innere Spannungen abzubauen und unter geeigneten Bedingungen Schwachstellen auszuheilen und damit die Neigung zur Risbildung erheblich zu vermindern. Es werden Modellvorstellungen besprochen, welche die drei Hauptwirkungen eines Netzmittels erklaren, namlich die Erhohung der Kerbspannung durch den von der Oberflachendiffusion in Mikrospalten herruhrenden momentanen Quelldruck, die Zeit erfordernde Schwachstellendiffusion, verbunden …
