概要Zeolites are important materials in the petrochemical industry; they are used as catalysts and in separations. A detailed understanding of adsorption and diffusion at the molecular scale is important for an optimal use of a zeolite in a particular applications. Molecular simulations are an excellent tool to obtain such an understanding. In my presentation I will present several examples of this, in particular for the adsorption and diffusion of water and alcohols in hydrophobic zeolites. This information is important for the separation of water/alcohol mixtures in zeolite membranes. Also the adsorption of water in Cu-BTC metal organic framework is discussed.

第198回化学システム工学専攻公開セミナー(終了) HELICAL CARBON NANOTUBES AND NANOCOMPOSITES: MECHANICAL AND FLAME – RETARDANT PROPERTIES

日時

工学部2号館 機械会議室A31
講演題目HELICAL CARBON NANOTUBES AND NANOCOMPOSITES: MECHANICAL AND FLAME – RETARDANT PROPERTIES
講演者Janos B.Nagy 教授
Chairman-Manager, NANOPART S.A.
概要Helical carbon nanotubes have been synthesized by CCVD decomposing acetylene at 700°C on various supported metal catalysts. They have been studied by high resolution TEM, electron diffraction, AFM... Using AFM, and determining the fundamental vibrations of a coiled CNT, it was possible to determine the weight of a single nanoparticle of ca. 1 femto - gram. In the nanocomposite materials the surface of interaction between the CNTs and the matrix is the most important para - meter. Flame - retardant properties can also be arrived at using CNTs in composite materials.

第197回化学システム工学専攻公開セミナー(終了) Hydroperoxide Intermediates in the Epoxidation of Propylene on Gold/Titanosilicate Catalysts

日時

講演題目Hydroperoxide Intermediates in the Epoxidation of Propylene on Gold/Titanosilicate Catalysts
講演者S. Ted Oyama 教授
Department of Chemical Engineering, Virginia Institute of Technology
概要Propylene oxide (PO) is an important commodity chemical and there has been great interest in its production by a direct route that does not produce by-products or coproducts. The oxidation using H2 and O2 on Au supported on titania and Ti-silicates has been shown to proceed with high selectivity and has been the object of much study. Catalysts consisting of nanoparticles of gold supported on a mesoporous Ti silicate (Ti-TUD) with pores of 13 nm were synthesized and used for the epoxidation of propylene with mixtures of H2 and O2. The role of gold is to produce hydrogen peroxide from H2 and O2, and that the role of Ti is to carry out the epoxidation reaction through the formation of a titanium hydroperoxo species. In situ studies with x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy were used to study adsorbed intermediates during reaction. UV-vis showed the presence of highly reactive adsorbed hydroperoxide species on Ti sites. Transient XANES experiments showed that the hydroperoxides reacted at the same rate as the overall reaction, indicating that they were true intermediates in the reaction. The use of a membrane reactor allowed the safe mixing of hydrogen and oxygen to well within the explosive region (40% each), and gave propylene conversions of 10% while maintaining selectivities at the 80% level.

概要Solution based processes have gained much interest for the preparation of complex nano-structured materials. Benefits are found in the often direct and simple processing routes allowing for technological exploitation of the processes without the use of complex and size and shape limiting vacuum equipment needed for PVD and CVD. The solution chemical routes span a huge range of sub-disciplines that have been rapidly developed and more and more hybridized during the recent decade to produce very unique and high quality materials of various shapes and complexities. Here research on heterometallic precursor chemistry and solution based routes to complex nano-structured materials in different forms representing
different kinds of complex structuring and areas of uses will be presented;

・ Solution processing with heterometallic alkoxide precursors.
・ Er-doped wave-guides for Near IR amplifiers by use of single Er-ion heterometallic alkoxides.
・ Electroceramic thin films with a focus on perovskites.
・ Complex structure and composition large band-gap semiconductors.
・ Nano-structured metals and alloys.
・ Hard composites; WC-Co.
・ Metal in ceramic nano-composites.

講演題目Microstructure development in coating and drying of liquid films: Some challenges and opportunities
講演者Brian Higgins教授
Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science University of California, Davis
概要塗布・乾燥におけるマイクロ構造形成
(詳細は以下を参照: 機能デバイスの作製には必須の基盤技術です)

Thin liquid films in which surface tension effects are ever-present are often an integral part in the manufacturing process f many technologically important products, such as batteries, medical diagnostic devices, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDS), organic photovoltaics and printable electronics. In this talk I will review some of the established methods for precision coating, highlight the key fluid mechanical issues of thin film coating, address the modeling of dynamic wetting, and discuss the myriad of instabilities that can plague a coating process. In particular, I will discuss the physics underlying interfacial instabilities that are driven either by gradients in interfacial tension or by gradients in capillary pressure. These instabilities can be manipulated during coating and drying to yield interesting microstructures for semiconductor polymers film applications. Examples of Marongoni instabilities that arise is spin coating and in the drying of colloidal films will be reviewed, as will the role of capillary pressure gradients in wetting transitions. Finally, I will discuss opportunities for microstructure development through photo-initiated polymerization of thin liquid films.

第193回化学システム工学専攻公開セミナー(終了) Mitigating Destruction from Large Fires: Overview of Research Collaborations in Japan

日時

場所
工学部5号館6階第5輪講室(637室)
講演題目Mitigating Destruction from Large Fires: Overview of Research Collaborations in Japan
講演者Samuel L. Manzello博士
Building and Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL),
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
概要The destruction from a single Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fire can be tremendous. Post-fire analysis suggests that spotting is the major source of structural ignition in WUI fires. Spot fires are new fires that propagate away from the main fire line due to lofted firebrands. Full scale laboratory experiments are being conducted to investigate the vulnerabilities of structures due to a firebrand attack while Dr. Manzello is in residence at the Building Research Institute in Japan. A summary of this project will be presented. Dr. Manzello also presents his research collaboration with the Center for Beter Living (CBL) in Japan.

第192回化学システム工学専攻公開セミナー(終了) Progress in Chemical Kinetic Modeling for Surrogate Fuels

日時

講演題目Progress in Chemical Kinetic Modeling for Surrogate Fuels
講演者William J. Pitz 博士
Chemical Sciences Division

Livermore, CA 94551, USA
概要Gasoline, diesel, and other alternative transportation fuels contain hundreds to thousands of compounds. It is currently not possible to represent all these compounds in detailed chemical kinetic models. Instead, these fuels are represented by surrogate fuel models which contain a limited number of representative compounds. We have been extending the list of compounds for detailed chemical models that are available for use in fuel surrogate models. Detailed models for components with larger and more complicated fuel molecular structures are now available. These advancements are allowing a more accurate representation of practical and alternative fuels. We have developed detailed chemical kinetic models for fuels with higher molecular weight fuel molecules such as n-hexadecane (C16). Also, we can consider more
complicated fuel molecular structures like cyclic alkanes and aromatics that are found in practical fuels. For alternative fuels, the capability to model large biodiesel fuels that have ester structures is becoming available. These newly addressed cyclic and ester structures in fuels profoundly affect the reaction rate of the fuel predicted by the model. Finally, these surrogate fuel models contain large numbers of species and reactions and must be reduced for use in multi-dimensional models for spark-ignition, HCCI and diesel engines.
