The role of plasma-atom and molecule interactions on power & particle balance during detachment on the MAST Upgrade Super-X divertor

Christian Gabriel Theiler, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh

This paper shows first quantitative analysis of the detachment processes in the MAST Upgrade Super-X divertor (SXD). We identify an unprecedented impact of plasma-molecular interactions involving molecular ions (likely D2+ ), resulting in strong ion sinks ...

Poisoning of Mn-Ce/AC catalysts for low-temperature NH3-SCR of NO by K+ and its counter-ions (Cl- /NO3- /SO42- )

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Rob Jeremiah G. Nuguid

Mn-Ce/AC catalysts for low-temperature NH3-SCR of NOx were deliberately loaded with various potassium salts (KCl, KNO3, and K2SO4) to investigate the influence of the counter-ions on the poisoning impact. Whereas K salts poisoning had only marginal impact ...

Effect of alkali hydroxide on calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H)

Karen Scrivener, Émilie Michèle L'Hôpital, Yu Yan

This paper investigates the effect of KOH and NaOH on C-S-H structure and solubility. Both KOH and NaOH have a similar effect, they increase pH values and silicon concentrations, and decrease calcium concentrations. At higher alkali hydroxide concentration ...

Stepwise Reduction of Dinitrogen by a Uranium-Potassium Complex Yielding a U(VI)/U(IV) Tetranitride Cluster

Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Ivica Zivkovic, Luciano Barluzzi, Nadir Jori

Multimetallic cooperativity is believed to play a key role in the cleavage of dinitrogen to nitrides (N3-), but the mechanism remains ambiguous due to the lack of isolated intermediates. Herein, we report the reduction of the complex [K-2{[U-V(OSi((OBu)-Bu ...
