Spent nuclear fuel oxidation under dry storage controlled conditions to study its radial oxidation behaviour using Linkam’s THMS600

Researchers at CIEMAT, Spain and JRC, Germany published a study exploring the potential risks of storing highly-irradiated spent nuclear fuel when the fuel oxidises. A Linkam THMS600 stage was used to accurately control the temperature under a flow of dried air.

Linkam’s TS1500 used to enable in situ study of sigma phase formation in Cr–Co–Ni ternary alloys at 800 °C at the long duration experiment facility at Diamond Light Source

Read how a unique setup using Linkam’s TS1500 allows researchers to perform beamline XRD analysis at high temperature at Diamond Light Source. Here, they use the new long-duration experimental beamline I11 to study phase formation kinetics of metal alloys, demonstrating a new technique for metallurgical studies.

An Experimental Study of the Formation of Talc through CaMg(CO3)2–SiO2–H2O Interaction at 100–200∘C and Vapor-Saturation Pressures using Linkam’s CAP500

Researchers used Linkam’s CAP500 with fused silica capillaries to study the formation of talc, observing the process using techniques including Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.

Operando micro-spectroscopy on ZSM-5 containing extrudates during the oligomerization of 1-hexene

This article studies the impact of the binder material in industrial catalysts. Using the Linkam TS1500V to perform catalytic reactions at 250 and 300°C, the authors used operando spectrocopy and in situ confocal fluoroscence microscopy to show how different binder materials affect the final material composition.
