Metal Hydride Based Isotope Separation -- Large-Scale Operations

Isotope Effects in Switchable Metal-Hydride Mirrors

Measurements of optical reflectance, transmittance, and electrical resistivity on the switchable mirror systems YHx and YDx show that the absorption of hydrogen induces the same variations as that of deuterium. In both cases there is a weak transparency window for the metallic dihydride (dideuteride) phase and a yellowish transparency in the insulating trihydride (trideuteride) phase. The sligh...

Metal Hydrides: Transition Metal Hydride Complexes

Solid-state metal hydrides provide a safe and efficient way of storing hydrogen (Schlapbach 2002). They are commercialized for use in rechargeable batteries and developed for energy conversion devices such as fuel cells (see Hydrogen Metal Systems: Electrochemical Reactions). A great majority of metal hydrides derives from intermetallic compounds and alloys (see Hydrogen Metal Systems: Hydride ...

Simulation in Large-scale Precast Operations

This document details a rationalisation study on the production of shop-prefabricated parts supported by simulation to analyse potential operating alternatives. The goal was quite specific: to improve productivity and so reduce production costs. Since the study was carried out while the workshop was fully operational, no changes that would have involved stoppages in workshop production could be...
