Thermally intensive processes are the largest consumer of energy. In contrary, the level of energy consumed by air conditioning systems and utilized on process cooling is relatively low. Thermal energy storage systems have a high potential for a sustainable energy management, as they provide an efficient integration of thermal energy from renewables and heat recovery processes through spatial and temporal decoupling. Low temperature thermochemical energy stores based on gas-solid reactions represent appealing alternative options to sensible and latent storage technologies, in particular for heating and cooling purposes. They convert heat energy provided from renewable energy and waste heat sources into chemical energy and can effectively contribute to load balancing and CO2 mitigation. Reasonable material intrinsic energy storage density and cooling power are demanded. At present, several obstacles are associated with the implementation in full-scale reactors. Notably, the mass and heat transfer must be optimized. Limitations in the heat transport and diffusions resistances are mainly related to physical stability issues, adsorption/desorption hysteresis and volume expansion and can impact the reversibility of gas-solid reactions. The aim of this thesis was to examine the energy storage and cooling efficiency of CaCl2, MgCl2, and their physical salt mixtures as adsorbents paired with water, ethanol and methanol as adsorbates for utilization in a closed, low level energy store. Two- component composite adsorbents were engineered using a representative set of different host matrices (activated carbon, binderless zeolite NaX, expanded natural graphite, expanded vermiculite, natural clinoptiolite, and silica gel). The energetic characteristics and sorption behavior of the parent salts and modified thermochemical materials were analyzed employing TGA/DSC, TG-MS, Raman spectroscopy, and XRD. Successive discharging/charging cycles were conducted to determine the cycle stability of the storage materials. The overall performance was strongly dependent on the material combination. Increase in the partial pressure of the adsorbate accelerated the overall adsorbate uptake. From energetic perspectives the CaCl2-H2O system exhibited higher energy storage densities than the CaCl2 and MgCl2 alcoholates studied. The latter were prone to irreversible decomposition. Ethyl chloride formation was observed for MgCl2 at room and elevated temperatures. TG-MS measurements confirmed the evolution of alkyl v Abstract chloride from MgCl2 ethanolates and methanolates upon heating. However, CaCl2 and its ethanolates and methanolates proved reversible and cyclable in the temperature range between 25 ∘C and 500 ∘C. All composite adsorbents achieved intermediate energy storage densities between the salt and the matrix. The use of carbonaceous matrices had a heat and mass transfer promoting effect on the reaction system CaCl2-H2O. Expanded graphite affected only moderately the adsorption/desorption of methanol onto CaCl2. CaCl2 dispersed inside zeolite 13X showed excellent adsorption kinetics towards ethanol. However, main drawback of the molecular sieve used as supporting structure was the apparent high charging temperature. Despite variations in the reactivity over thermal cycling caused by structural deterioration, composite adsorbents based on CaCl2 have a good potential as thermochemical energy storage materials for heating and cooling applications. Further research is required so that the storage media tested can meet all necessary technical requirements. vi Zusammenfassung Die geografische Lage Deutschlands bestimmt wesentlich den Endenergieverbrauch des Landes. Wärmeintensive Prozesse stellen den größten Anteil am Energieverbrauch dar. Im Vergleich dazu ist der Energiebedarf von Klimaanlagen und Kälteanwendungen verhältnismäßig niedrig. Wärmespeicher haben ein großes Potential für eine nachhaltige Energiewirtschaft, indem sie eine effiziente Integration von thermischer Energie aus erneuerbaren Energien oder Wärmerückgewinnungsprozessen durch eine räumliche und zeitliche Trennung ermöglichen. Thermochemische Niedertemperaturspeicher, die auf Gas-Feststoff Reaktionen ba- sieren, sind eine attraktive Alternative zu sensiblen und latenten Speichertechnologien, insbesondere für Kühlungs- und Heizungszwecke. Sie wandeln Wärmenergie, welche von erneuerbaren Energien oder Abwärmequellen stammt, in chemische Energie um und können somit effektiv zum Lastenausgleich und zur Reduktion von CO2 beitragen. Anforderungen sind eine angemessene materialspezifische Energiespeicherdichte und Kühlleistung. Bei der Implementierung in Pilotanlagen bestehen derzeit noch erhebliche Hindernisse. Zu optimierende

  • Is Lithium Brine Water? (Desalination)
    Desalination xxx (xxxx) xxx Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Desalination journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/desal Is lithium brine water? Mojtaba Ejeian a, Alexander Grant b, Ho Kyong Shon c, Amir Razmjou c,* a Institute of Refrigeration and Cryogenics, Engineering Research Center of Solar Energy (MOE China), Shanghai Jiao Tong University, 800 Dongchuan Road, Shanghai 200240, China b Principal, Jade Cove Partners, San Francisco, California, United States of America c Centre for Technology in Water and Wastewater, University of Technology Sydney, New South Wales, Australia HIGHLIGHTS • The rapid expansion of applications of Lithium-ion batteries has raised Li demand. • Overexploitation of Li brine resources such as Salar de Atacama raised concerns. • There is an ongoing debate over the definition of Lithium brine as water or minerals. • The debate has frustrated basic measures for moving towards a sustainable operation. • Here, we used a molecular level approach to prove that the brine is a type of water. ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: With the development of light and rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles, global demand for lithium has Lithium increased considerably in recent years. This has drawn more attention to how lithium is produced, especially on Brine primary extraction operations such as those at the Salar de Atacama in Northern Chile. There are concerns that Lithium Ion Batteries brine extraction at the Atacama could irreversibly damage the basin's complex hydrological system. However, Electric Vehicles differing opinions over the definition of water have frustrated basic action measures for minimizing impacts of Hydrogeology Resource Extraction operations like these. Some lithium industry stakeholders have historically described brine as a mineral, while Molecular Dynamics others emphasize that brine is also a type of water in a complex network of different water resources.

  • The S-Block Elements of the Periodic Table Are Those in Which the Last Electron Enters the Outermost S-Orbital
    Chapter-10 The s-block elements The s-block elements: The s-block elements of the Periodic Table are those in which the last electron enters the outermost s-orbital. The s-orbital can accommodate only two electrons, two groups (1 & 2) belong to the s- block of the Periodic Table. Group 1 elements: alkali metals Lithium Li Sodium Na Potassium K Rubidium Rb Caesium Cs Francium. Fr Why they are known as alkali metals? They are collectively known as the alkali metals. These are so called because they form hydroxides on reaction with water which are strongly alkaline in nature. Electronic Configuration The general electronic configuration of alkali elements is [noble gas] ns1 Lithium Li 1s22s1 or [He]2s1 Sodium Na 1s22s22p63s1or [Ne] 3s1 Potassium K 1s22s22p63s23p64s1 or [Ar]4s1 Rubidium Rb 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p65s1or [Kr]5s1 Caesium Cs 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s2 4p64d105s25p66s1 or [Xe] 6s1 Francium. Fr [Rn]7s1 Occurrence: Sodium and potassium are abundant and lithium, rubidium and caesium have much lower abundances. Francium is highly radioactive; its longest-lived isotope 223Fr has a half-life of only 21 minutes. All the alkali metals have one valence electron, ns1 outside the noble gas core. The loosely held s-electron in the outermost valence shell of these elements makes them the most electropositive metals. They readily lose electron to give monovalent M+ ions. Hence,they are never found in free state in nature. Atomic and Ionic Radii The alkali metal atoms have the largest sizes in a particular period of the periodic table. Withincrease in atomic number, the atom becomes larger. The monovalent ions (M+) are smaller than the parent atom.

  • Investigation Into the Potential of Mgso4 for Interseasonal Domestic Thermochemical Energy Storage
    Investigation into the potential of MgSO4 for interseasonal domestic thermochemical energy storage By Daniel Mahon Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University June 2018 © by Daniel Mahon 2018 I I. Abstract Approximately 26% of the UK’s primary energy consumption is used specifically for Domestic Space Heating (DSH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) production [1]. The majority of this, 88%, comes directly from gas and oil with only 2% coming from renewable energy sources [1]. Decarbonising DSH and DHW represents a huge challenge for the UK’s government which is targeting a reduction of CO2 emissions of 80% by 2050 [2]. The amount of energy utilised from renewable sources can be increased by effective Thermal Energy Storage (TES). In a domestic environment thermal energy is typically required when the energy supplied from renewable sources is low (i.e. thermal energy demand is high in the winter and low in the summer), interseasonal Thermochemical Energy Storage (TCES) offers a solution to this problem. TCES has the ability to store thermal energy from the summer months within chemical bonds and release the stored heat when required with heat losses of only around 15%. 3 Magnesium sulphate heptahydrate (MgSO4.7H2O) has the potential to store 2.8GJ/m of energy, is a low cost, non-toxic, safe material that can be dehydrated to MgSO4.0.1H2O (fully charged) at 150˚C making it suitable for domestic integration. Research has shown that when MgSO4 is used for TCES it suffers from problematic issues such as agglomeration.

  • Chapter 10 the S-Block Elements
    Chemistry (Chapter – 10) (The s – Block Elements) (Class – XI) Question 10.1: What are the common physical and chemical features of alkali metals? Answer 10.1: Physical properties of alkali metals: (1) They are quite soft and can be cut easily. Sodium metal can be easily cut using a knife. (2) They are light coloured and are mostly silvery white in appearance. (3) They have low density because of the large atomic sizes. The density increases down the group from Li to Cs. The only exception to this is K, which has lower density than Na. (4) The metallic bonding present in alkali metals is quite weak. Therefore, they have low melting and boiling points. (5) Alkali metals and their salts impart a characteristic colour to flames. This is because the heat from the flame excites the electron present in the outermost orbital to a high energy level. When this excited electron reverts back to the ground state, it emits excess energy as radiation that falls in the visible region. (6) They also display photoelectric effect. When metals such as Cs and K are irradiated with light, they lose electrons. Chemical properties of alkali metals: Alkali metals are highly reactive due to their low ionization enthalpy. As we move down the group, the reactivity increases. (1) They react with water to form respective oxides or hydroxides. As we move down the group, the reaction becomes more and more spontaneous. (2) They react with water to form their respective hydroxides and dihydrogens. The general reaction for the same is given as (3) They react with dihydrogen to form metal hydrides.

The effects of electronegativity and hydration energy on the selective adsorption, as well as potential selective adsorption mechanism of the NaX zeolite for Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ were also discussed. The maximum adsorption capacity order of the heavy metals in the single system was Pb2+ > Cd2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+, and this could be related to their hydration energy and electronegativity. The values of the separation factors (α) and affinity 2+ 2+ constant (KEL) in different binary systems indicated that Pb was preferentially adsorbed, and Zn presented the lowest affinity for NaX zeolite.

  • Sodium Ion Hydration: Coordination Shell Peculiarities Depending On
    Flexibility and regularity of the hydration structure of a sodium ion. Nonempirical insight Yulia V. Novakovskaya Moscow State University, Leninskie Gory 3/1, Moscow, 119991 Russia E-mail: [email protected] + Abstract: The stationary nonempirical simulations of Na (H2O)n clusters with n in a range of 28 to 51 carried out at the density functional level with a hybrid B3LYP functional and the Born- Oppenheimer molecular dynamics modeling of the size selected clusters reveal the interrelated structural and energetic peculiarities of sodium hydration structures. Surface, bulk, and transient configurations of the clusters are distinguished with the different location of the sodium nucleus (close to either the spatial center of the structure or one of its side faces) and its consistently changing coordination number (which typically equals five or six). The <rNaO> mean Na-O distances for the first-shell water molecules are found to depend both on the spatial character of the structure and the local coordination of sodium. The <rNaO> values are compared to different experimental estimates, and the virtual discrepancy of the latter is explained based on the results of the cluster simulations. Different coordination neighborhoods of sodium are predicted depending on its local fraction in the actual specimens. Key words: sodium ion hydration; sodium-water clusters; coordination number; radial distribution function; stationary nonempirical simulations; Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics; vibrational thermal energy INTRODUCTION Hydration of ions, especially alkaline metal ions which regulate numerous intra-, inter-, and extracellular processes in living organisms and are present in various current sources and electrolyte baths of different purposes, was repeatedly studied for a long time, and it may seem now that everything is already clear.

  • Free Energy Calculations of Ion Hydration: an Analysis of the Born Model in Terms of Microscopic Simulations
    4320 J. Phys. Chem. 1989, 93, 4320-4327 Free Energy Calculations of Ion Hydration: An Analysis of the Born Model in Terms of Microscopic Simulations B. Jayaram,t Richard Fine,I Kim Sharp,t and Barry Honig*Vt Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Columbia University, New York, New York 10032, and Deparzment of Biological Sciences, Columbia University, New York, New York 10027 (Received: October 4, 1988) The free energy perturbation technique is used in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the electrostatic contribution to the hydration free energy of a hypothetical cation whose charge varies in the range 0-3 au. The results are used to examine the validity of the continuum (Born) treatment of ion hydration. Saturation of the orientational polarizability of the water dipoles begins to become significant at values of the ionic charge of about +0.?5, a considerably higher value than predicted from a Langevin analysis. Moreover, due to the opposing effect of electrostriction on the dielectric response, the continuum prediction of a quadratic charge dependence of the hydration free energy is reproduced for values of the ionic charge up to approximately +1.1. These results suggest that dielectric saturation is insignificant for monovalent cations. Above charges of 1.1 the first solvation shell becomes fully saturated while the remaining water molecules continue to respond quadratically with increasing charge. It is argued that to within a few percent the assumptions of the Born model (without corrections for dielectric saturation) can be justified in terms of microscopic simulations. Introduction defining the cavity formed by an ion.3 Calculated solvation en- An accurate theoretical treatment of the solvation of simple thalpies based on these radii (increased uniformly by ?%) are in ions in water has been difficult to obtain despite the apparent excellent agreement with experiment even for multivalent ions.

Why isthe size of the ions of alkali metals less than their respective atomic size? Due to- i) removal of the outermost shell ii) increase in the effective nuclear charge. 6. Why does potassium show fluctuation from the normal trend of atomic density? Due to unusual increase in atomic size. 7. Why alkali metals possess apparently low I.P? Due to the large size of the atoms, the nuclear force of attraction on the valence electron is less and hence the electron can be easily removed. After eliminating an electron it attains stable electronic configuration of nearest noble gas. 8. Why alkali metals possess a high 2nd I.P? M+ possess stable electronic configuration of nearest noble gas hence apparently large amount of energy is required to remove the next electron hence the second I.P of these elements are fairly large. 9. Why theions of alkali metals diamagnetic? M+ possess noble gas electronic configuration hence it is diamagnetic (due to absence of unpaired electron).
