Experimental measurements of Xe and Kr releases from UO2 and determination of their migration mechanisms - Release rate data.

ABSTRACT: We present the raw data obtained from release rate at 1300°C of Xe and Kr implanted in UO2, related to [1]. We performed different sample preparation (polishing treatment) on polycrystalline and monocrystalline UO2. Ion implantation were performed at various fluences between 9.5 × 1010 to 5 × 1014 i/cm2 in UO2 samples. Release rate of Xe and Kr are obtained at 1300°C under vacuum from desorption experiments performed on the PIAGARA plateform at the CENBG (Centre d'Etudes Nucléaires de Bordeaux-Gradignan). Since we made a variety of samples depending on multiple parameters (sample type, sample preparation, ion implantation type and fluence), these data represent a serious amount of work that could be saved for the scientific community that might use them for other purposes such as burst modelling.

Efficient Xe selective separation from Xe/Kr/N2 mixtures over a microporous CALF-20 framework.

Project description:Capture and separation of xenon and krypton by adsorption are particularly important issues at room temperature in both industry and environmental security. Herein, hydrophobic zinc-based frameworks (CALF-20) were synthesized to separate mixtures of Xe, Kr and N2, and adsorptive properties and stability of as-prepared samples were investigated in detail. CALF-20 with the 1,2,4-triazole and oxalate as the ligand and Zn metal centers showed a surface area of 442 m2 g-1 and average pore size of 6-7 Å, and exhibited excellent stability in a high-temperature acidic solution. The single and binary adsorption datum represented that CALF-20 has a high Xe uptake of 2.45 mmol g-1 and Xe/Kr selectivity of 13.2, as well as high Xe/N2 selectivity of 62 at 298 K and 1.0 bar. The initial adsorption heat and Henry's constant of Xe on the CALF-20 were determined to be 31.7 kJ mol-1 and 21.77 mmol g-1 bar-1 by isotherms, indicating a suitable affinity for Xe capture and Xe/Kr separation. In addition, simulation results indicated that the simulated adsorption isotherms and adsorption heats are well-matched with experimental results, and the adsorption affinity from the C-H groups of 1,2,4-trizole ring for Xe is significantly stronger than that for Kr.

Switching Xe/Kr adsorption selectivity in modified SBMOF-1: a theoretical study.

Project description:The separation of Xe/Kr mixtures in used nuclear fuel (UNF) has attracted lots of attention, but no report on the adsorption and separation of Kr from mixed Kr/Xe at room temperature can be found. From grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation, it is found that by replacing the metal center Ca of SBMOF-1 with Mg, due to the appropriate pore size, the adsorption selectivity (S Kr/Xe) was extremely high (250 000) and the adsorption capacity for Kr on Mg-SBMOF-1 modified with -NH2 was increased by 300% to 1.020 from 0.248 mmol g-1. Based on the calculations of density functional theory (DFT), we found that the stronger electron-donating ability of a functional group will increase the polarizability of the ligand, and thus increase the adsorption capacity to Kr. In addition, the analysis of electronic structures with independent gradient model (IGM) and energy decomposition analysis (EDA) indicates that van der Waals forces will be responsible for the interaction of Mg-SBMOF-1 and Kr gas. Among them, the interaction of Mg-SBMOF-1 and Kr gas is mainly an induction force, while that of modifications with -CH3 and -NH2 is mainly a dispersion force. The present theoretical study represents the first report of the separation of Kr from Xe with MOF adsorption at room temperature. We hope this work may promote the experimental synthesis of Mg-SBMOF-1 for efficient separation of Kr and Xe.

Theoretical Investigation on H2O2-Ng (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn) Complexes Suitable for Stereodynamics: Interactions and Thermal Chiral Rate Consequences.

Project description:Although molecular collisions of noble gases (Ng) can be theoretically used to distinguish between the enantiomers of hydrogen peroxide - H2O2 (HP), little is known about the effects of HP-Ng interactions on the chiral rate. In this work, the chiral rate as a function of temperature (CRT) between enantiomeric conformations of HP and Ng (Ng=He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn) are presented at MP2(full)/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory through a fully basis set superposition error (BSSE) corrected potential energy surface. The results show that: (a) the CRT is highly affected even at a small decrease in the height of trans-barrier; (b) its smallest values occur with Ne for all temperatures between 100 and 4,000 K; (c) that the decrease of CRT shows an inverse correlation with respect to the average valence electron energy of the Ng and (d) Ne and He may be the noble gases more suitable for study the oriented collision dynamics of HP. In addition to binding energies, the electron density ρ and its Laplacian ∇2 ρ topological analyses were also performed within the atoms in molecules (AIM) theory in order to determine the nature of the HP-Ng interactions. The results of this work provide a more complete foundation on experiments to study HP's chirality using Ng in crossed molecular beams without a light source.

Soft ionization mechanisms in flexible µ-tube plasma-elucidation of He-, Ar-, Kr-, and Xe-FµTP.

Project description:The soft ionization mechanism of helium-based plasma seems to be understood while it still remains challenging in argon-based plasma, although many studies have used argon plasmas as a soft ionization source with good ionization efficiencies. In this study, helium, argon, krypton, and xenon were fed into the same discharge geometry, a flexible micro-tube plasma (FµTP), to determine the ionization mechanisms. The FµTPs operated with the named noble gases obtained comparable ionization efficiencies by MS measurements. The optical emission results showed that N2+ were the dominant ions within the helium-FµTP and noble gas ions were dominant for the other plasmas. These ions support the development of excitation and eventually stop at the end of the capillary. Therefore, Penning ionization and charge transfer between plasma and ambient air/analytes in the open atmosphere have been proven not to be the primary soft ionization mechanism. Furthermore, it was found that photoionization played a minor role in soft ionization. Using helium as a diagnosis gas in front of the discharge capillary nozzle of the FµTP, where the sample is usually positioned, shows that helium can be ignited by all of these FµTPs. This demonstrates that the excitation of a diagnosis gas as well as the ionization of analytes is independent of the type of the discharge gas. An alternative mechanism that a transient potential created by the ions is responsible for the soft ionization is subsequently proposed.

Selective separation of Xe/Kr and adsorption of water in a microporous hydrogen-bonded organic framework.

Project description:We have studied the adsorption properties of Xe and Kr in a highly microporous hydrogen-bonded organic framework based on 1,3,5-tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene, named HOF-BTB. HOF-BTB can reversibly adsorb both noble gases, and it shows a higher affinity for Xe than Kr. At 1 bar, the adsorption amounts of Xe were 3.37 mmol g-1 and 2.01 mmol g-1 at 273 K and 295 K, respectively. Ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) calculation predicts selective separation of Xe over Kr from an equimolar binary Xe/Kr mixture, and breakthrough experiments demonstrate the efficient separation of Xe from the Xe/Kr mixture under a dynamic flow condition. Consecutive breakthrough experiments with simple regeneration treatment at 298 K reveal that HOF-BTB would be an energy-saving adsorbent in an adsorptive separation process, which could be attributed to the relatively low isosteric heat (Q st) of adsorption of Xe. The activated HOF-BTB is very stable in both water and aqueous acidic solutions for more than one month, and it also shows a well-preserved crystallinity and porosity upon water/acid treatment. Besides, HOF-BTB adsorbs about 30.5 wt%, the highest value for HOF materials, of water vapor during the adsorption-desorption cycles, with a 19% decrease in adsorption amounts of water vapor after five cycles.

Accurate label-free reaction kinetics determination using initial rate heat measurements.

Project description:Accurate label-free methods or assays to obtain the initial reaction rates have significant importance in fundamental studies of enzymes and in application-oriented high throughput screening of enzyme activity. Here we introduce a label-free approach for obtaining initial rates of enzyme activity from heat measurements, which we name initial rate calorimetry (IrCal). This approach is based on our new finding that the data recorded by isothermal titration calorimetry for the early stages of a reaction, which have been widely ignored, are correlated to the initial rates. Application of the IrCal approach to various enzymes led to accurate enzyme kinetics parameters as compared to spectroscopic methods and enabled enzyme kinetic studies with natural substrate, e.g. proteases with protein substrates. Because heat is a label-free property of almost all reactions, the IrCal approach holds promise in fundamental studies of various enzymes and in use of calorimetry for high throughput screening of enzyme activity.

Spectral Signatures of Protonated Noble Gas Clusters of Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe: From Monomers to Trimers.

Project description:The structures and spectral features of protonated noble gas clusters are examined using a first principles approach. Protonated noble gas monomers (NgH+) and dimers (NgH+Ng) have a linear structure, while the protonated noble gas trimers (Ng3H+) can have a T-shaped or linear structure. Successive binding energies for these complexes are calculated at the CCSD(T)/CBS level of theory. Anharmonic simulations for the dimers and trimers unveil interesting spectral features. The symmetric NgH+Ng are charactized by a set of progression bands, which involves one quantum of the asymmetric Ng-H+ stretch with multiple quanta of the symmetric Ng-H+ stretch. Such a spectral signature is very robust and is predicted to be observed in both T-shaped and linear isomers of Ng3H+. Meanwhile, for selected asymmetric NgH+Ng', a Fermi resonance interaction involving the first overtone of the proton bend with the proton stretch is predicted to occur in ArH+Kr and XeH+Kr.

XGBoost: An Optimal Machine Learning Model with Just Structural Features to Discover MOF Adsorbents of Xe/Kr.

Project description:The inert gases Xe and Kr mainly exist in the used nuclear fuel (UNF) with the Xe/Kr ratio of 20:80, which it is difficult to separate. In this work, based on the G-MOFs database, high-throughput computational screening for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with high Xe/Kr adsorption selectivity was performed by combining grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations and machine learning (ML) technique for the first time. From the comparison of eight classical ML models, it is found that the XGBoost model with seven structural descriptors has superior accuracy in predicting the adsorption and separation performance of MOFs to Xe/Kr. Compared with energetic or electronic descriptors, structural descriptors are easier to obtain. Note that the determination coefficients R 2 of the generalized model for the Xe adsorption and Xe/Kr selectivity are very close to 1, at 0.951 and 0.973, respectively. In addition, 888 and 896 MOFs have been successfully predicted by the XGBoost model among the top 1000 MOFs in adsorption capacity and selectivity by GCMC simulation, respectively. According to the feature engineering of the XGBoost model, it is shown that the density (ρ), porosity (ϕ), pore volume (Vol), and pore limiting diameter (PLD) of MOFs are the key features that affect the Xe/Kr adsorption property. To test the generalization ability of the XGBoost model, we also tried to screen MOF adsorbents on the CO2/CH4 mixture, it is found that the prediction performance of XGBoost is also much better than that of the traditional machine learning models although with the unbalanced data. Note that the dimension of features of MOFs is low while the quantity of MOF samples in database is very large, which is suitable for the prediction by model such as XGBoost to search the global minimum of cost function rather than the model involving feature creation. The present study represents the first report using the XGBoost algorithm to discover the MOF adsorbates.

An ab initio study on noble gas inserted halogenated acetylene: HNgCCX (Ng = Kr and Xe; X = halogen).

Project description:Although HNgCCX (Ng = Kr and Xe; X = F and Cl) have been identified in cryogenic matrices, similar Br and I analogues have not been prepared so far. In this paper, the nature of HNgCCX (Ng = Kr and Xe; X = F, Cl, Br and I) have been investigated by ab initio methods. The main characteristic absorption peak of HNgCCX is the v H-Ng, which decreases as X varies from F to I. Moreover, the H-Xe bond is stronger than the H-Kr bond. The v C≡C and v C-X exhibit red- and blue-shift characters, respectively, especially the C-X bond is abnormal blue-shift halogen bond. AIM results show that the H-Ng bond is essentially covalent bond and the covalent character of H-Xe bond is underestimated, and the trend of the covalent character is C-Cl > C-Br > C-F > C-I. Although HNgCCX is instable thermodynamically with respect to Ng + HCCX, it is kinetically stable with respect to the two-/three-body channels due to the relatively larger energy barriers. The three-body channels of HNgCCX is the main decomposition channel, and the kinetically stability of HXeCCX is more than its Kr analogues. This study is helpful for the preparation of new HNgCCX in cryogenic matrices.

The structure of neuroglobin at high Xe and Kr pressure reveals partial conservation of globin internal cavities.

Project description:Neuroglobin (Ngb) is a hexacoordinate globin expressed in the brain of vertebrates. Ferrous Ngb binds dioxygen with high affinity and the O(2) adduct is able to scavenge NO. Convincing in vitro and in vivo data indicate that Ngb is involved in neuroprotection during hypoxia and ischemia. The 3D structure of Ngb reveals the presence of a wide internal cavity connecting its heme active site with the bulk. To explore the role of this "tunnel" in the control of ligand binding, we determined the structure of metNgb and NgbCO equilibrated with Xe or Kr. We show four docking sites for Xe (only two for Kr); two of the four Xe sites are within the large cavity. They are only partially conserved in globins, since the two proximal Xe sites identified in myoglobin (Xe1 and Xe2) are absent in Ngb, as well as in cytoglobin. The Xe docking sites in Ngb map a pathway within the protein matrix, leading to the heme, which becomes more accessible in the ligand-bound species. This may be of significance in connection with the redox chemistry that may be the primary function of this hexacoordinate globin.
