mesoflow [SWR-22-56]

Mesoflow is a continuum scale simulation tool developed specifically for modeling transport and chemistry at the mesoscale. Our solver utilizes Cartesian block-structured adaptive mesh refinement to resolve complex surface morphologies (of catalysts/biomass particles among others) directly obtained from X-ray tomography data. An immersed boundary based formulation enables rapid representation of complex geometries prevalent in most mesoporous interfaces. The solver is developed on top of open-source performance portable library, AMReX, providing parallel execution capabilities on current and upcoming high-performance-computing (HPC) architectures. Our flexible software framework enables integration of complex chemical mechanisms at heterogenous interfaces and time-split algorithms for circumventing highly disparate reaction and flow time-scales. Our current studies indicate a ten-fold performance gain by using graphics-processing-units (GPU) compared to a single processor for representative problem sizes (2 million cell mesh).

BayFlux: A Bayesian method to quantify metabolic Fluxes and their uncertainty at the genome scale

Metabolic fluxes, the number of metabolites traversing each biochemical reaction in a cell per unit time, are crucial for assessing and understanding cell function. 13 C Metabolic Flux Analysis ( 13 C MFA) is considered to be the gold standard for measuring metabolic fluxes. 13 C MFA typically works by leveraging extracellular exchange fluxes as well as data from 13 C labeling experiments to calculate the flux profile which best fit the data for a small, central carbon, metabolic model. However, the nonlinear nature of the 13 C MFA fitting procedure means that several flux profiles fit the experimental data within the experimental error, and traditional optimization methods offer only a partial or skewed picture, especially in “non-gaussian” situations where multiple very distinct flux regions fit the data equally well. Here, we present a method for flux space sampling through Bayesian inference (BayFlux), that identifies the full distribution of fluxes compatible with experimental data for a comprehensive genome-scale model. This Bayesian approach allows us to accurately quantify uncertainty in calculated fluxes. We also find that, surprisingly, the genome-scale model of metabolism produces narrower flux distributions (reduced uncertainty) than the small core metabolic models traditionally used in 13 C MFA. The different results for some reactions when using genome-scale models vs core metabolic models advise caution in assuming strong inferences from 13 C MFA since the results may depend significantly on the completeness of the model used. Based on BayFlux, we developed and evaluated novel methods (P- 13 C MOMA and P- 13 C ROOM) to predict the biological results of a gene knockout, that improve on the traditional MOMA and ROOM methods by quantifying prediction uncertainty.

Simulation of DWPF Chemical Process Cell Using a Reaction Calorimeter

The Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) converts liquid radioactive waste into glass using a Sludge Receipt Adjustment Tank (SRAT) and Slurry Mix Evaporator (SME) in addition to other processes. The SRAT and SME processes can be simulated on a small-scale using the Mettler-Toledo Reaction Calorimeter (RC1). This equipment is able to automate the execution and monitoring of experiments involving nonradioactive chemical simulants. During the chemical processing of sludge in the SRAT process, foam begins to form and can foam over the reaction vessel. The current antifoam used at DWPF creates a risk of increased flammability and has a limited pH range. Usually, mercury is circulated back into the reaction vessel during the SRAT process, making it difficult to remove. To combat foam over, novel antifoams will be tested during the boil-up process using the RC1. To improve mercury extraction, 3D-printed coalescer columns will be tested within the Mercury Water Wash Tank (MWWT) of the RC1. Testing of Simulant Sludge Batch 6 (SB6) was performed to ensure: the sludge would form a stable foam at boiling during full SRAT/SME runs; the antifoam would reduce the amount of foam within the vessel The sludge and a Precipitate Reactor Feed Tank (PRFT) simulant with monosodium titanate (MST) were mixed separately, combined, and then heated to boiling. As shown below, the antifoam used was able to eliminate the foam within the vessel, as expected. The FormLabs Form2 3D Printer can be used to create roughly 3-inch tall and 1-inch diameter columns from clear and ceramic resins. The columns will utilize chemical and physical forces to draw the mercury out of a condensed offgas stream leaving the RC1 reaction vessel. These columns will be tested during full SRAT/SME runs on the basis of how well they are able to collect elemental mercury. In preparation for full-scale runs, the RC1 equipment was assembled onto a custom table and tested with water runs. The software used to control automation, iControl, has a user-friendly interface that allows the experiment to be altered as needed. An example of the data recorded during an experimental run is represented in Figure 1 below. Water runs were utilized as a way to prove if the RC1 system was functioning in the following areas: Boil-up rates, Chemical additions using pumps, Temperature readings, Balance readings, Probe readings, Offgas system, Agitation. Future Plans: Five novel antifoams will be tested during full SRAT/SME runs. The most effective antifoam will be utilized in DWPF's Chemical Process Cell. The design of the Mercury Extraction Coalescer can be further manipulated to increase the extraction of not only elemental mercury, but other heavy metals in environmental remediation processes as well.

A Reactor Scale-Up Methodology from Lab-Scale to Pilot-Scale Operations: Numerical Modeling of THFA Dehydration to DHP in Packed-Bed Reactors

This manuscript discusses developing a model-based scale-up methodology for a successful technology transfer of gas-phase catalytic reactors from a lab-scale to a pilot-scale operation. The manuscript demonstrates the methodology for gas-phase dehydration of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) to dihydropyran (DHP) process over commercial Al 2 O 3 catalysts. A two-dimensional reactor model was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics 6.1 software. The model solves heat and mass transport equations in bed-scale and particle scales simultaneously. This powerful feature enables accurate prediction of the heat and mass transfer limitations in pilot-scale reactors, if any exists. Further, the model uses isothermal lab-scale experimental data to derive and validate the reaction chemistry, flow fields and boundary conditions. The model was then scaled-up to project conversion, selectivity, yield and formation rate of DHP in a pilot-scale reactor. The results highlight the complex nature of chemistry, heat, and mass transfer effects in lab-scale and pilot-scale reactors. The model results inform the possible operational limitations of the pilot-scale reactor and design strategies to improve process efficiency. Although the scale-up approach is explained through the THFA dehydration process, the methodology is applicable to any catalytic packed-bed reactor models for a successful process scale-up.

Insights into the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction on 2D Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides

Understanding hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) behaviors over two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (2D-TMDs) is critical for the development of nonprecious HER electrocatalysts with better activity. Here, in this work, by combining density functional theory calculations with microkinetic modeling, we thoroughly investigated the HER mechanism on 2D-TMDs. We find an important dependence of simulated cell size on the calculated hydrogen adsorption energy and the activation barrier for MoS 2 . Distinct from previous “H migration” mechanisms proposed for the Heyrovsky reaction, the rate-determining step for MoS 2 , we propose that the Mo site only serves as the stabilized transition state rather than H adsorption. In comparison to transition-metal electrocatalysts, we find that the activation barrier of the Heyrovsky reaction on 2D-TMDs scales with the hydrogen adsorption energy exactly as for transition metals except that all activation energies are displaced upward by ca. 0.4 eV. This higher Heyrovsky activation barrier is responsible for the substantially lower activity of 2D-TMDs. We further show that this higher activation barrier stems from the more positively charged adsorbed hydrogen on the chalcogenides interacting repulsively with the incoming proton. Based on these insights, we discuss potential strategies for the design of nonprecious HER catalysts with activity comparable to Pt.

Acid–Base Chemistry of a Model IrO 2 Catalytic Interface

Iridium oxide (IrO 2 ) is one of the most efficient catalytic materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), yet the atomic scale structure of its aqueous interface is largely unknown. Herein, the hydration structure, proton transfer mechanisms and acid-base properties of the rutile IrO 2 (110)-water interface are investigated using ab-initio based deep neural-network potentials and enhanced sampling simulations. The proton affinities of the different surface sites are characterized by calculating their acid dissociation constants, which yield a point of zero-charge in good agreement with experiments. A large fraction (≈ 80%) of adsorbed water dissociation is observed, together with a short lifetime (≈ 0.5 ns) of the resulting terminal hydroxy groups, due to rapid proton exchanges between adsorbed H 2 O and adjacent OH species. As a result, this rapid surface proton transfer supports the suggestion that the rate-determining step in the OER may not involve proton transfer across the double layer into solution, as indicated by recent experiments.

Methods—Design Guidelines for Tubular Flow-through Electrodes for Use in Electroanalytical Studies of Redox Reaction Kinetics

The tubular flow-through electrode (FTE) is a facile electroanalytical tool for investigating electrochemical reaction kinetics; however, its suitability for this purpose requires careful design and operation under conditions that guarantee uniform current distribution. In this perspective article, we provide a scaling analysis of the transport and reaction processes within a tubular FTE leading to quantitative guidelines for the FTE design and operation. Two dimensionless parameters (classical Wagner number Wa I and modified Wagner number incorporating the effect of mass transport Wa II ) are utilized to compare the magnitudes of the ohmic, activation and transport resistances of the tubular FTE, and to quantify its current distribution uniformity. With the aid of analytical modeling of the current distribution, optimal ranges for these two dimensionless parameters are defined so as to ascertain uniform current distribution. Application of these guidelines to a graphite tubular FTE is shown to enable the precise determination of the charge-transfer kinetics of the ferri/ferrocyanide redox reaction.

The scaling of kinetic and transport behaviors in the solution-phase chemistry of a plasma–liquid interface

The reactions at a plasma–liquid interface often involve species such as the solvated electron or the hydroxyl radical, which initiate the reduction or oxidation of solution-phase reactants (so-called scavengers) or are consumed by their own second-order recombination. Here, the mathematical scaling of the reaction–diffusion equations at the interface is used to obtain a characteristic time that can be used to determine the transition from highly efficient scavenger reduction or oxidation to lower efficiencies due to transport limitations. The characteristic time (tc) is validated using numerical solutions of the reaction–diffusion equations. When the scavenger kinetics are faster than second-order recombination, this characteristic transition time scales proportionally with the scavenger diffusivity (Ds) and the square of the scavenger bulk concentration (SB) and inversely proportional to the electron flux (J) squared; that is, t c = D s S B 2 F 2 /J 2 , where F is Faraday’s constant. However, when the scavenger kinetics are comparable or slower than second-order recombination, this scaling does not hold. Extending this analysis to three-dimensional systems shows that the profile of the electron flux on the surface affects the spatial location where reactions are most effective. Finally, the assessment of the implications of these behaviors for the reactor design highlights how effectively controlling the electron flux and solution transport may be necessary to improve the efficiency of scavenger reactions.

A Rapid, Sustainable, One‐step Mechanochemical Strategy for Synthesizing Gold Nanoparticle‐Doped Covalent Organic Frameworks

Doping gold nanoparticles within covalent organic frameworks (AuNPs@COFs) has garnered enormous momentum due to their unique properties and broad applications. Nevertheless, prevailing multi-step synthesis is plagued with low time efficiency, eco-unfriendliness, and tedious protocols. Herein, we introduce a rapid, sustainable, scalable, one-step mechanochemical strategy for synthesizing up to four AuNPs-doped COFs via steel ball milling within an hour under ambient conditions. This approach overcomes the synthetic barriers of conventional multi-step solution-based methods, such as extended reaction times (5 days), milligram scale, the use of toxic solvents, elevated temperatures, and reliance on external reducing agents. One exemplary AuNPs@COF (AuNPs@DMTP-TPB) exhibits high crystallinity, porosity, small AuNP size, and uniform dispersion (5.4±0.6 nm), surpassing its counterpart synthesized via multi-step solution-based methods (6.4±1.1 nm). Notably, the gram-scale synthesis of AuNPs@DMTP-TPB can be successfully achieved. Control experiments suggest that the in situ formation of AuNPs is attributed to the galvanic reduction of gold precursor by stainless steel apparatus. As a proof-of-concept catalytic application, AuNPs@DMTP-TPB demonstrates remarkable catalytic activity and recyclability for the aqueous reduction of 4-nitrophenol under ambient conditions. This study provides an environmentally benign and fast pathway to synthesize AuNPs@COFs via mechanochemistry for the first time, opening tremendous possibilities for heterogeneous catalysis and beyond.

Effect of Al on the formation and structure of alkali-silica reaction products

The use of Al-rich supplementary cementitious materials can effectively reduce the expansion of concrete caused by alkali-silica reaction (ASR). However, the role of Al in mitigating the formation and structure of ASR products is only poorly understood, since direct investigation of the reaction in the micro-scale veins of aggregates is difficult. Recent successful synthesis of ASR products provides a unique opportunity to directly assess the role of Al in ASR. In this study, the effect of Al on the formation and structure of ASR products synthesized at 40 and 80 °C is investigated. It is found that the presence of Al in concentration lower than 0.1 mM neither prevents ASR nor alters the structure of the crystalline ASR products formed at 40 °C. However, formation of the crystalline ASR product at 80 °C is lowered at higher Al content due to the formation of a zeolitic precursor.

CFD Simulation of the Dosing Behavior within the Atomic Layer Deposition Feeding System

The effective operation of atomic layer deposition (ALD) feeding system is the premise of realizing specific ALD processes. In the present work, a detailed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the feeding system has been developed and validated, which accounts for the roles of ALD valves and manifolds. A numerical simulation of the compressible fluid flow and heat/mass transfer within the feeding system was conducted. The dosing amounts and the spatiotemporal distributions of the precursors can be accurately predicted using the CFD model, as validated by experimental results. Different precursors, operating conditions, and structures of the feeding system were simulated and analyzed to examine the operating flexibility of the feeding system. The simulation results can be adopted as the upstream boundary conditions for simulations of the ALD process in the reaction chamber. The substrate-scale simulation indicates that the effect of the feeding system on the film deposition is highly related to the surface kinetics of ALD. The present work can serve as a guide for the development and optimization of different ALD-based processes via proper operation and even the design of the feeding system.

The Surprising Dynamics of the McLafferty Rearrangement

We report femtosecond time-resolved measurements of the McLafferty rearrange- ment following the strong-field tunnel ionization of 2-pentanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and 4,4- dimethyl-2-pentanone. The pump–probe-dependent yields of the McLafferty product ion are fit to a biexponential function with fast (~100 fs) and slow (~10 ps) time constants, the latter of which is faster for the latter two compounds. Following nearly instantaneous ionization, the fast time scale is associated with rotation of the molecule to a six-membered cyclic intermediate that facilitates transfer of the γ-hydrogen, while the ~50–100 times longer time scale is associated with a π-bond rearrangement and bond cleavage between the α- and β-carbons to produce the enol cation. Furthermore, these experimental measurements are supported by ab initio molecular dynamics trajectories, which further confirm the time scale of this important stepwise reaction in mass spectrometry.

Acetolysis for Epoxy-Amine Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Recycling

Carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are used in many applications in the global energy transition, including for lightweighting aircraft and vehicles and in wind turbine blades, shipping containers and gas storage vessels1,2,3,4. Given the high cost and energy-intensive manufacture of CFRPs5,6,7, recycling strategies are needed that recover intact carbon fibres and the epoxy-amine resin components. Here we show that acetic acid efficiently depolymerizes both aliphatic and aromatic epoxy-amine thermosets used in CFRPs to recoverable monomers, yielding pristine carbon fibres. Deconstruction of materials from multiple sectors demonstrates the broad applicability of this approach, providing clean fibres from 2 h reactions. The optimal conditions were scaled to 80.0 g of post-consumer CFRPs, and demonstrative composites were fabricated from the recycled carbon fibres, which were recycled two more times, maintaining their strength throughout. Process modelling and techno-economic analysis, with feedstock cost informed by wind turbine blade waste generation8, indicates this method is cost effective, with a minimum selling price of US$1.50 per kg for recycled carbon fibres whereas life cycle assessment shows process greenhouse gas emissions around 99% lower than virgin carbon fibre production. Overall, this approach could enable recycling of industrial CFRPs as it provides clean, mechanically viable recycled carbon fibres and recoverable resin monomers from the thermoset.

Enabling accurate chemical modeling of shocked energetic materials using a machine learning interatomic potential

Understanding the complex chemistry of organic materials under dynamic compression is important for many applications, but it is challenging due to the large number of reactions occurring at various time scales. Here, in this study, we develop a machine learning potential based on Chebyshev polynomials to study the insensitive energetic material 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) under detonation. We discuss a strategy for constructing diverse training data needed to capture the complex chemistry of TATB. Our potential demonstrates strong transferability across a wide range of thermodynamic conditions and other explosives, enabling accurate and reliable chemical modeling of organic materials under extreme conditions. The efficiency of our approach allows for simulations over several nanoseconds and for large system sizes, providing detailed insights into the chemistry of shocked TATB. The model accurately reproduces experimental Hugoniot equation of state data, and our simulations reveal the rapid formation of nitrogen-rich carbon clusters following shock. The methods and datasets developed here offer a robust framework for accurate chemical modeling of other shocked organic energetic materials.

Inertia-induced mixing and reaction maximization in laminar porous media flows

Solute transport and biogeochemical reactions in porous and fractured media flows are controlled by mixing, as are subsurface engineering operations such as contaminant remediation, geothermal energy production, and carbon sequestration. Porous media flows are generally regarded as slow, so the effects of fluid inertia on mixing and reaction are typically ignored. Here, we demonstrate through microfluidic experiments and numerical simulations of mixing-induced reaction that inertial recirculating flows readily emerge in laminar porous media flows and dramatically alter mixing and reaction dynamics. An optimal Reynolds number that maximizes the reaction rate is observed for individual pore throats of different sizes. This reaction maximization is attributed to the effects of recirculation flows on reactant availability, mixing, and reaction completion, which depend on the topology of recirculation relative to the boundary of the reactants or mixing interface. Recirculation enhances mixing and reactant availability, but a further increase in flow velocity reduces the residence time in recirculation, leading to a decrease in reaction rate. The reaction maximization is also confirmed in a flow channel with grain inclusions and randomized porous media. Interestingly, the domain-wide reaction rate shows a dramatic increase with increasing Re in the randomized porous media case. This is because fluid inertia induces complex three-dimensional flows in randomized porous media, which significantly increases transverse spreading and mixing. This study shows how inertial flows control reaction dynamics at the pore scale and beyond, thus having major implications for a wide range of environmental systems.

Rapid remodeling of the soil lipidome in response to a drying-rewetting event

Abstract Background Microbiomes contribute to multiple ecosystem services by transforming organic matter in the soil. Extreme shifts in the environment, such as drying-rewetting cycles during drought, can impact the microbial metabolism of organic matter by altering microbial physiology and function. These physiological responses are mediated in part by lipids that are responsible for regulating interactions between cells and the environment. Despite this critical role in regulating the microbial response to stress, little is known about microbial lipids and metabolites in the soil or how they influence phenotypes that are expressed under drying-rewetting cycles. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a soil incubation experiment to simulate soil drying during a summer drought of an arid grassland, then measured the response of the soil lipidome and metabolome during the first 3 h after wet-up. Results Reduced nutrient access during soil drying incurred a replacement of membrane phospholipids, resulting in a diminished abundance of multiple phosphorus-rich membrane lipids. The hot and dry conditions increased the prevalence of sphingolipids and lipids containing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, both of which are associated with heat and osmotic stress-mitigating properties in fungi. This novel finding suggests that lipids commonly present in eukaryotes such as fungi may play a significant role in supporting community resilience displayed by arid land soil microbiomes during drought. As early as 10 min after rewetting dry soil, distinct changes were observed in several lipids that had bacterial signatures including a rapid increase in the abundance of glycerophospholipids with saturated and short fatty acid chains, prototypical of bacterial membrane lipids. Polar metabolites including disaccharides, nucleic acids, organic acids, inositols, and amino acids also increased in abundance upon rewetting. This rapid metabolic reactivation and growth after rewetting coincided with an increase in the relative abundance of firmicutes, suggesting that members of this phylum were positively impacted by rewetting. Conclusions Our study revealed specific changes in lipids and metabolites that are indicative of stress adaptation, substrate use, and cellular recovery during soil drying and subsequent rewetting. The drought-induced nutrient limitation was reflected in the lipidome and polar metabolome, both of which rapidly shifted (within hours) upon rewet. Reduced nutrient access in dry soil caused the replacement of glycerophospholipids with phosphorus-free lipids and impeded resource-expensive osmolyte accumulation. Elevated levels of ceramides and lipids with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in dry soil suggest that lipids likely play an important role in the drought tolerance of microbial taxa capable of synthesizing these lipids. An increasing abundance of bacterial glycerophospholipids and triacylglycerols with fatty acids typical of bacteria and polar metabolites suggest a metabolic recovery in representative bacteria once the environmental conditions are conducive for growth. These results underscore the importance of the soil lipidome as a robust indicator of microbial community responses, especially at the short time scales of cell-environment reactions.
