Thermal analysis equipment

本应用程序是一个热分析系统，由热重分析仪（TGA/DTA），差示扫描量热计（DSC）和质谱仪（MS）探测器组成。所要求的热分析设备将取代和升级现已不能运行的TGA/DSC设备，该设备已服务于化学工程和材料科学与工程系的用户组（PI: DW Kirk, CQ Jia）。， SJ Thorpe, K Lian, H Tran， S Argyropoulos和V Papangelakis)。这种分析设备使PI和他们的学生能够理解由热能引起的基本化学和物理转化，从而开发新材料和新工艺。柯克博士正在开发一种新型的生物炭吸收剂。C. Jia正在开发一种新的液态焦炭产品。K. Lian正在开发聚合物电解质。索普正在开发一种新型块状非晶合金。S. Argyropoulos正在研究金属间相形成的基本原理。V. Papangelakis正在开发可持续的矿物提取工艺。H. Tran正在改善硫酸盐制浆过程中的工业能源和化学回收。小组成员的详细资料可参阅他们的100表格。

This application is for a thermal analysis system consisting of a Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA/DTA), a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and a Mass Spectrometer (MS) detector.The thermal analysis equipment requested will replace and upgrade a now no-longer operable TGA/DSC apparatus that has served the user group in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering Departments (PI's: DW Kirk, CQ Jia., SJ Thorpe, K Lian, H Tran, S Argyropoulos, and V Papangelakis) for over 8 years.This analytical equipment allows the PI's and their students to develop an understanding of fundamental chemical and physical transformations induced by thermal energy which leads to development of new materials and processes. D. Kirk is developing a novel biochar absorbent. C. Jia is developing a new Fluid Coke product. K. Lian is advancing polymer electrolytes. S.Thorpe is developing a new class of bulk amorphous alloys. S. Argyropoulos is investigating the fundamentals of formation of intermetallic phases. V. Papangelakis is developing sustainable mineral extraction processes. H. Tran is improving industrial energy and chemical recovery in the kraft pulping process. Details for the group members are available in their 100 Forms.
