The OPARA service was recently upgraded to a new technical platform. You are visiting the outdated OPARA website. Please use https://opara.zih.tu-dresden.de/ for new data submissions. Previously stored data will be migrated in near future and then the old version of OPARA will finally be shut down. Existing DOIs for data publications remain valid.
High-resolved X-ray tomography scan of dewatered filter cakes and sessile droplets
Subtitle: contact angle measurement of sessile droplets and liquid bridges within the pore space of a dewatered filter cake
Abstract
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.
