Effect of Carbon Nanoadditives on Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate-Based Composite Materials for Low Temperature Chemical Heat Storage

Carbon nanospheres (CNSs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as nanoadditives were used to modify lithium hydroxide monohydrate for low temperature chemical heat storage application. The lithium hydroxide monohydrate particles were well dispersed on the nanoscale level, and the diameter of nanoparticles was about 20–30 nm in the case of the carbon nanospheres and 50–100 nm the case of t...

Pcm-graphite Composites for High Temperature Thermal Energy Storage

Developing a Mechanistic Understanding of Lamellar Hydroxide Mineral Carbonation Reaction Processes to Reduce CO2 Mineral Sequestration Process Cost

The potential environmental effects of increasing atmospheric CO2 levels are of major worldwide concern. One alternative for managing CO2 emissions is carbon sequestration: the capture and secure confinement of CO2 before it is emitted to the atmosphere. Successful technologies must be environmentally benign, permanent, economically viable, safe and effective. As a result, their timely developm...

Thermal hazard analysis of styrene monomer at Low temperature conditions during storage and transportation

Distributed Multimedia Information System Laboratory School of Computer Science, Florida International University Miami, FL 33199, USA Abstract Styrene Monomer (SM) has been widely used for producing polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and styrene-acryonitrile (SAN) in the petrochemical industry. From 1994 to 2001, several serious accidents occurred in Taiwan due to styrene ...
