The development of porosity in Pittsburgh No. 8 char as studied using contrast matching small angle neutron scattering

Conference Hall, P J ; Antxustegi, M M ; Thiyagarajan, P

Contrast matching small angle neutron scattering has been used to investigate the development of porosity in Pittsburgh No. 8 coal char during gasification in air at 673K. Deuterated toluene contrast matches very well with polycrystalline graphite carbon. Scattering from the contrast matched ungasified sample shown that there is very little closed porosity in the ungasified sample. It is shown that scattering from the dry sample is due to interparticle effects. Subtraction of the contrast matched scattering and the interparticle scattering from the overall scattering of samples gives information about open porosity. It is shown that microporosity is produced in themore »« less
The development of porosity in Pittsburgh No. 8 and Wyodak chars as studied using contrast matching small angle neutron scattering

Journal Article Hall, P J ; Antxustegi, M M ; Calo, J M - Preprints of Papers, American Chemical Society, Division of Fuel Chemistry

The development of porosity in coal chars is important in both combustion and gasification processes and there have been a large number of investigations and techniques applied to the subject. A persistent problem in understanding the development of porosity is die existence of closed porosity, which cannot be accessed from the external surface. Intrusive techniques, such as mercury porosimetry, or adsorbative techniques cannot, by definition, give information about such porosity. On the other hand, small angle x-ray scattering (saxs) and small angle neutron scattering (sans) techniques monitor scattering from both open and closed porosity and consequently cannot distinguish them. Additionally,more »« less
The use of contrast-matching small-angle neutron-scattering techniques to monitor closed porosity in carbons

Journal Article Antxustegi, M M ; Hall, P J ; Calo, J M - Journal of Colloid and Interface Science

Small-angle neutron scattering has been performed on samples of phenolic resin char activated from 0 to 21% burn-off in oxygen. Comparisons of scattering intensities from samples of these chars, both dry and contrast-matched with perdeuterated toluene, were used to elucidate the behavior of this carbon with progressive reaction. It was found that the total scattering intensities from the dry samples decreased with burn-off, in contrast to those for other carbons, where they typically increase due to porosity development at low burn-offs. This behavior was shown to be due to the selective burn-off of disordered carbon material exhibiting a broad distributionmore »« less

Measurement of porosity in a composite high explosive as a function of pressing conditions by ultra-small-angle neutron scattering with contrast variation

Journal Article Mang, Joseph Thomas ; Hjelm, Rex P ; Francois, Elizabeth G - Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics

We have used ultra-small-angle neutron scattering (USANS) with contrast variation to measure the porosity (voids and binder-filled regions) in a composite high explosive, PBX 9501, formulated with a deuterated binder. Little is known about the microstructure of pressed PBX 9501 parts and thus how it is affected by processing. Here, we explore the effect of varying the pressing intensity on the PBX 9501 microstructure. Disk-shaped samples of PBX 9501 were die-pressed with applied pressures ranging between 10,000 and 29,000 psi at 90 C. Five samples were prepared at each pressure that differed in the fraction of deuterated binder, facilitating variationmore »« less

Quantification of Organic Porosity and Water Accessibility in Marcellus Shale Using Neutron Scattering

Journal Article Gu, Xin ; Mildner, David F. R. ; Cole, David R. ; ... - Energy and Fuels

Pores within organic matter (OM) are a significant contributor to the total pore system in gas shales. These pores contribute most of the storage capacity in gas shales. Here we present a novel approach to characterize the OM pore structure (including the porosity, specific surface area, pore size distribution, and water accessibility) in Marcellus shale. By using ultrasmall and small-angle neutron scattering, and by exploiting the contrast matching of the shale matrix with suitable mixtures of deuterated and protonated water, both total and water-accessible porosity were measured on centimeter-sized samples from two boreholes from the nanometer to micrometer scale withmore »« less
