    3 tomographic data sets of nano-CT measurements of a 30:70 vol-% mixture of talcum and saxolite
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2022-09-02) Ditscherlein, Ralf
    All 3 data sets are sub-volumes (Field of View approx. 65 µm) of a total sample of a particle mixture of talc and saxolite fixed in a matrix by means of epoxy resin and spacer particles (nanometre-sized carbon black particles, 150 nm equivalent spherical diameter). The primary analysis was carried out using nano-CT. The reconstructed result data are stored in the form of TIF files as sectional images (folder "rotated"). In addition, a correlation was carried out by means of EDXS analytics, the chemical information of which was used to train a segmentation algorithm. Since EDXS analysis requires a planar surface, the sample was further processed using FIB. The divergence of the ion beam produces a slight angular deviation from the perpendicular of the nano-CT volume, which necessitated a rotation of the initial volume data (--> "rotated"). The correlated result data of the particle-discrete phase information are also stored ("rotated segmented").

    Colloidal probe atomic force microscopy measurements on pristine gas bubbles, agglomerates and particle-laden gas bubbles
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2024-07-08) Nicklas, Jan
    This dataset contains experimental Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) force-displacement measurements of poorly wetted alumina particles (colloidal probes) < 15 µm interacting with pristine gas bubbles, agglomerates and particle-laden gas bubbles (hetero-coagulates) in an aqueous environment. The data was generated in the context of the Collaborative Research Center CRC 920 (Project ID 169148856 – subproject B04) that is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The data set is of interest for researches that study the agglomeration or hetero-coagulation in liquid environment, and it is expected to be of particular interest to those that are concerned with the simulation and modeling of these processes (for example by Discrete Element Method). The AFM raw data was baseline corrected to increase the accessibility of the data sets to those less familiar with the AFM. A detailed interpretation of the AFM data in this repository is found in https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.3c01781 and https://doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfa.2024.134660.

    Corrosion and Process Analysis of a Preoxidized MgO Recyclate-based Cermet Anode in Laboratory-Scale Na-Cryolite Molten Salt Electrolysis of Aluminum at 1000 °C
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2026-07-14) Adamczyk, Alexander; Hossain, Farhan; Garcia Paz, Felipe A.; Yaroshevskyi, Serhii; Vogt, Daniel; Aneziris, Christos G.; Charitos, Alexandros
    The development of inert anodes for aluminum electrolysis remains challenging due to the high corrosivity of cryolite-based melts at 950°C–1000°C. This study investigates the corrosion and process behavior of a carbon-free MgO–steel cermet anode derived from refractory recycling during laboratory-scale Na-cryolite electrolysis at 1000°C, focusing on the effect of a pre-oxidation treatment on its corrosion behavior. In the as-sintered state, MgO grains are mechanically bonded to a 316L steel matrix with interfacial porosity that limits corrosion resistance. Pre-oxidation at 900°C for 24 h forms a dense Mg–M–O (M=Fe, Cr) oxide-rich surface layer, sealing pores and improving resistance to cryolite infiltration, albeit at the cost of reduced electrical conductivity, which translated into an overall higher cell voltage compared to the as-sintered state. During electrolysis, this layer degrades under anodic polarization, O2 evolution, and fluorination. The surface transforms into a Fe–O-rich magnetite layer (Fe3O4), while a Cr-containing oxide and an in situ Mg–Fe–O transition zone form beneath, maintaining partial protection. Overall, pre-oxidation effectively delays electrolyte penetration by converting MgO into new oxide phases but introduces conductivity losses and surface instability. The results highlight both the potential and limitations of MgO-based cermet anodes for sustainable aluminum production.

    Epoxy-Based Particle Sample Preparation with Nano-Graphite as Spacer - RAW Data (Particle Sample Preparation) - Different mixtures (by volume) of graphite-nanoparticles and analysis particles
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2020-05-08) Ditscherlein, Ralf
    To get good image segmentation results in tomographic analysis methods, particles has to be seperated from each other while embedding them into a matrix. Low X-ray absorbing nano-graphite below the voxel resolution of the system is mixed with the analysis particles to form a shell to avoid direct particle-particle contact. After mixing it with epoxy resin, the paste is sucked into a polymeric tube of 2 mm inner diameter. After hardening, the formed cylinder was scanned with an X-ray microscope (ZEISS Xradia Versa 510) with the following parameters: 80 keV, 7 W, 360°, 2001 projections, 1 s exposure time, 2 µm voxel size, binning 2. After scannning, the following filters were applied while reconstruction with ZEISS reconstructor: Beam Hardening Correction 0.05, Smoothing 0,7. Detailed overview of the parameters is summarized as screenshots within the repository. To determine an optimal mixture of the two components, the following volume-fractions were analysed: Nanoparticle:Particle 20vol-%:80vol-% 40vol-%:60vol-% 60vol-%:40vol-%

    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2021-12-08) Buchwald, Thomas
    This collection belongs to the doctoral thesis "Nonlinear Parameter Estimation of Experimental Cake Filtration Data". Most of the content are Jupyter notebooks which contain the Python code which reproduces graphs found in the thesis from the original experimental data. The lab practice dataset that contains 500 filtration experiments is contained in the folder for section 3.5. The notebooks are not strictly sorted by section. At any rate, the Readme will guide you to the notebook which produces a certain graph, if it is not part of the main notebook of that specific section. The original Python environment was set up with Anaconda. Please use the provided .yml file to create a Python environment which contains all the necessary packages. Some notebooks may not work with the most current versions of the packages, so updating is not necessarily a good idea.

    Fully saturated and dewatered filter cakes at different resolutions
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2021-08-23) Löwer, Erik
    Appendix to Publications A to E with investigations of different particle systems (material, size and shape variation). X-ray tomography image of fully and partially dewatered filter cakes. The initial slurries contains mica, dolomite, quartz, limestone or glass particles suspended in a potassium iodide-glycerol brine. The different shaped particles were separated by cake-forming filtration followed by dewatering. All filtration and dewatering experiments took place in an in situ apparatus within the Zeiss Xradia 510 X-ray microscope. The filter cake is dewatered until the minimum degree of saturation is reached within the pore space. A scan is taken at the equilibrium state before and after dewatering. A small section in the center of the desaturated filter cakes was additionally measured at a significantly smaller field of view and higher resolution in order to be able to determine the local contact angle in addition to the saturation distribution and the size of the individual liquid bridges.

    High-resolved X-ray tomography scan of dewatered filter cakes and sessile droplets
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2021-08-23) Löwer, Erik
    X-ray tomography image of dewatered filter cakes at irreducible saturation. The initial slurry contains Al2O3 particles suspended in a potassium iodide-glycerol solution. These were separated by cake-forming filtration with subsequent dewatering. All filtration and dewatering experiments took place in an in situ apparatus within the Zeiss Xradia 510 X-ray microscope. High resolution scans are acquired in the equilibrium state after dewatering at different locations within the cake structure to measure the local three-phase contact angle. The data are validated by sessile droplet experiments on substrates of the same material within the X-ray microscope.

    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.

    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.

    Multi-Scale Tomographic Analysis for Micron-Sized Particulate Samples - RAW Data
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2020-01-08) Ditscherlein, Ralf; Martins de Souza e Silva, Juliana
    This repository includes the reconstructed TIFF-files from multiple scale tomographic analysis of particles in an embedding matrix (overall volume and 3 sub-volumes in 2 different magnification steps): LARGE (low-resolution) (due to filesize partioned in part I, II, III, IV and V) 1 large volume of particle mixture (50/50) of spheres (0.2 - 2 µm) and fibres (diameter: 10 µm length: 100 - 1000 µm) embedded in a matrix (wax, 15 vol-%). The large volume was extracted with an automated syringe into a small polymeric tube (diameter: 1.8 mm) and shock frozen. After that the sample was mounted on top of a needle pin and scanned with a micro-CT (ZEISS Versa510) at 80 keV, 7 W, low energy filter LE4, exposure time 2 s, optical magn. 4x, 3201 projections, 360°, Binning 2, Voxelsize 1.5 µm SubSample - MEDIUM (medium-resolution) (SubSample 1, 2, 3) After the scan, the LARGE volume was cutted in small disks and cutted a second time in little bars. Again, mounted on top of a needle pin and scanned with same parameters, BUT with 40x optical magnification and 25 s exposure time to go down to a system limit of 0.3 µm Voxelsize (again with ZEISS VERSA510). This was done 3 times in different heights of the LARGE volume SubSample - HIGH (high-resolution) (SubSample 1, 2, 3) After that, all SubSamples were scanned again with a nano-CT (ZEISS ULTRA810) at 5.4 keV, 60 s exposure time, 901 projections, 180°, Binning 1 to reach Voxelsize of 0.064 µm

    Reconstructed CT data of filter cakes
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2024-04-12) Löwer, Erik
    CT data of two filter cakes, built from glass beads (B70) and quartz sand (BCS201) in an in-situ pressure nutsch according german guideline VDI 2762-2. The soda-lime glass beads (density 2.55 g/cm³, 72.30 m.-% SiO2, 13.30 m.- % Na2O, 8.90 m.-% CaO and 4.00 m.-% MgO) of the size of 70 < x < 110 μm were purchased from Sigmund Lindner GmbH, Germany, and are manufactured via dry spraying. The quartz sand (density 2.65 g/cm³, 99.1 m.-% SiO2 with traces of Fe2O3, Al2O3 and TiO2 with < 0.3 m.-%) was purchased from Strobel quartzsand GmbH, Germany, in the fraction x < 200 μm, coming from a comminution process. For the filtration experiments, the solids are suspended in an aqueous solution of de-ionized water, potassium iodide (25 mM) and glycerol (24 m-%), resulting in a density of 1.10 g/cm². After filtration until gas breakthrough, the filter cakes are measured tomographically (ZEISS Xradia 510 Versa). Research data to publication 'Stochastic 3D modeling of artificial filter cake structures based on µ-CT image'. Image data from µ-CT measurements of filter cakes, which serve as a model basis and validation of the artificial filter cakes for the publication. Abstract: In order to link the properties of a feed stream to those of a product stream in separation operations such as cake filtration, a more comprehensive database is required. For this purpose, a stochastic 3D model for generation of virtual filter cake structures is constructed and calibrated to tomographic image data of experimentally built filter cake structures. Within this model, artificial particles are simulated using mixed Gaussian random fields on a sphere, which are then spatially arranged to form a three-dimensional artificial filter cake that is validated with respect to geometric descriptors that were not used for model fitting, such as constrictivity, porosity, tortuosity and specific surface area. By adjusting interpretable parameters of the model, a large data base of systematically varying artificial filter cakes can be generated, allowing for transfer functions to be determined and structure-property relationships to be statistically investigated.

    Research data for: "Particle size analysis and beyond - laser diffraction and derived information regarding structures of mechano-fusion coated particles"
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2026-06-02) Seyffer, Judith Miriam
    Laser diffraction (LD) is widely used for the analysis of particle size distribution (PSD). Due to the structure of dry-coated mechano-fusion particle systems, the interpretation of the PSD remains challenging. This study investigates hetero-aggregate coating structures of alumina host particles (median diameter 43.3 μm) with polystyrene guest particles (mean diameter 3.5 μm) in dry LD measurements and how dispersion conditions influence the PSD. Gentle freefall dispersion preserves coating structures and yields a monomodal PSD consistent with expected coated particle size. Differences in the PSD between samples of coated particles prepared under different process conditions are only observed using highintensity dry dispersion. High-intensity dispersion alters the aggregation state by detaching guest particles, leading to bimodal PSD. The plateau values in the cumulative distribution furthermore exceed theoretical guest volume fractions. Experimental measurements are combined with simulations of diffraction patterns and inverse reconstruction. Simulations qualitatively support the experimental findings by linking particle arrangement and deformation to reconstructed PSD features. The apparent overrepresentation is attributed to guest particle deformation and comminution, biasing the volume-weighted PSD. Hence, LD provides more than particle size information: aggregation state, dispersion-induced changes, and guest particle deformation are revealed, enhancing the applicability of LD for quality control of dry-coated hetero-aggregates.
