Low Temperature Co-fired Solid Oxide Cells

A solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is a device that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. Water is decomposed into hydrogen gas and oxygen anions at the hydrogen electrode. The oxygen anions pass through the electrolyte to the air electrode, where they lose their electrons and convert to oxygen gas. The electrons travel through an […]

Validating and improving predictive models using spectral reflectance measurements for the estimation of Methylene Blue Index of soft tailings

Annually, large number of tailings samples are collected by operators and sent to laboratories for measurement of Methylene Blue Index (MBI). This procedure is costly, time-consuming, and results are a function of the methods used and personnel expertise. In prior research we developed predictive models for the quick and consistent estimation of tailings MBI from […]

Numerical Modelling of Laser Cladding Technology using Pastes and Tapes

Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing technology for applying high-quality metal coatings to parts in order to improve their mechanical wear properties, and thus increase their lifespan. Currently, these metal coatings are created by depositing metal powders on the work piece and welding them together with the laser. A significant amount of powder is lost […]
