    Research data for: "Penetration depth and effective sample size characterization of UV/Vis radiation into pharmaceutical tablets"
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2025-03-20) Seyffer, Judith Miriam; Fuchs, Lukas
    The data set comprises the micro-CT data for the publication Brands et al. (2025). In a joint work within the 1st funding period of the SPP2364, the three-dimensional distribution of the active ingredient in pharmaceutical tablets is investigated using a segmented CT image data set of a tablet. The data published here contains the raw, reconstructed micro-CT image data after acquisition using the Zeiss Xradia Versa 510. Imaging was performed by stitching five individual, overlapping region of interest scans over the full width of the tablet. Additionally, the data set of the segmented active ingredient particles is included in a downscaled version. Further information can be found in the corresponding publication "Penetration depth and effective sample size characterization of UV/Vis radiation into pharmaceutical tablets".

    Influence of shredder and mill settings on the material recoveries and product qualities of a two-stage mechanical recycling process of automotive lithium-ion batteries
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2025-03-12) Kaas, Alexandra; Wilke, Christian; Peuker, Urs
    For a two stage shredding and milling process the yield of black mass and the elemental recovery of critical elements Ni and Li s investigated. I can be shown that the quality of the products resulting from the mechanical recycling of lithium-ion batteries significantly depends upon the parameters employed during the shredding process. Modifications to the settings have the potential to exert a considerable impact on the particle size, liberation of composites and de-coating of electrodes. The discharge grid size employed during the first shredding step shows a significant influence on the downstream separation behaviour of the casing material and separator foil. The mill speed utilised during the second comminution step determines the separation achieved between the cathode and anode. A reduction in grid size employed during the first shredding stage results in an increase in black mass yield, although the recovery of the casing is diminished. In total Ni recovery for all setting combinations is similar, a lower recovery in the first shredding step is compensated by a higher recovery after the second comminution. It was observed that an overall increase in the mill speed above 1750 rpm resulted in elevated levels of copper contamination within the black mass. The influence of eleven distinct combinations of shredder and mill settings on the black mass yield and its composition, the recovery of the separator foil and the casing, as well as the separation behaviour of the anode and cathode, were investigated.

    Correlation Velocimetry inside a model of the human airways
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2025-02-07) Bauer, Katrin; Kluwe, Moritz Niklas
    The dataset corresponds to the publication "Deterministic periodic structures in a model of the human airways" by Kluwe et al. 2025. It contains raw data obtained from an optical setup used for point-wise velocity measurements using Correlation Velocimetry in a model of human airways. The recorded data consists of stereo audio files sampling the photo-electric response of two photodiodes to the passage of tracer particles. The time lag between both signals corresponds to the mean time of flight of ensembles of particles between both detectors. Using the known distance between the detectors (272 micrometers), the mean velocity of the tracer particles can be calculated. This dataset includes the raw data evaluated and discussed in the publication.

    Robust Laser Cross Detection
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2024-12-12) Kluwe, Moritz Niklas; Hardege, Robert
    The source code repository contains the complete Python implementation of the laser cross detection algorithm, including example datasets. The repository includes synthetic image generation tools, evaluation scripts, and reference implementations of RANSAC and Probabilistic-Hough-Transform methods for comparison. Example datasets feature both synthetic and real-world calibration images, with documentation detailing their usage. All code is thoroughly commented and includes usage examples. The implementation requires common Python libraries (numpy, scipy, lmfit) and provides a straightforward API for integration into existing calibration workflows.

    Influence of a pyrolysis at different temperatures on the mechanical recycling efficiency of Li-ion batteries
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2024-12-12) Kaas, Alexandra; Wilke, Christian; Born, Jannik; Ahuis, Marco; Kwade, Arno; Peuker, Urs
    The integration of a pyrolysis stage into the mechanical recycling process of Li-ion batteries is supposed to improve the decoating of the electrodes, the recovery of valuable components and the overall quality of the products. The effectiveness of the pyrolysis process depends on the applied temperature as the various components of a Li-ion battery melt, evaporate and decompose at different temperatures. The decomposition temperature of the cathode binder is a crucial factor in the thermal mechanical recycling process. Temperatures below this threshold have a negative impact on the recovery rates, as the melting of binder and plastics reduces the efficiency of the recovery process. Conversely, higher temperatures facilitate the recovery of the cathode coating metals (Ni, Co, Li) into the black mass. The majority of the metals (92-98%) are recovered and, following hydrometallurgical treatment, can be reused for cell production, thereby closing the loop and reducing the consumption of raw materials and enhancing the sustainability of batteries. Moreover, the decomposition of the organic components, including binders and plastics, improves the quality of the products, thereby reducing the necessity and extent of further treatment.
