How can knowledge transfer be used to widen EU excellence in advanced green technologies, sustainability and research management? 🤔💚 The WIDEX EU Project addresses one of the biggest problems for the European economy: the crucial demand for minerals and elements, particularly in strategic sectors. As the demand for new, important materials increases and the main raw material mining operations decline, sustainable solutions must be found within Europe's borders. The collaboration between the Technical University of Košice, a distinguished mining university and a primary reference center in Slovakia, and leading research institutions aims to bridge the research and innovation gap in the EU. With the support of the other partners across Europe, knowledge transfer will be the goal of overcoming this innovation gap in the various EU countries. We will lead the knowledge transfer of recovery critical raw materials (CRM) from primary sources through hydrometallurgical approaches. The European Raw Materials Act highlights the importance of green and non-invasive technologies for the CRM recovery and refining. Therefore, greener solutions and integral processes will be the main focus of our development to transfer these cutting-edge technologies to the Technical University of Košice.

Acoustic diagnostic methods detect faulty components or critical processes quickly and precisely due to their unique noise patterns. 🔊 For many industries, this opens up possibilities for monitoring the condition of wear and other parts. In addition, acoustic diagnostic techniques can be combined with the state-of-the-art methods of artificial intelligence. This enables automatic and reliable analysis in real time. 👍 In our NDT4INDUSTRY online seminar series, Dr. Ivan Kraljevski presented acoustic diagnostic solutions developed at our institute for various applications, such as anomaly detection in sensor networks for non-destructive testing in aerospace and structural health monitoring of machine components.

Gas marbles are a new family of particle-stabilized soft dispersed system with a soap bubble-like air-in-water-in-air structure. ⚪ Prof. Dr.-Ing. Silke H. Christiansen, Dr. Sabrina Pechmann and Dr. Hyoungwon Park together with researchers from the Osaka Institute of Technology, the Université de Lille and the University of Hyogo, have produced hydrophobic polymer granules that encase these gas marbles. The resulting marbles can be used to safely transport gases across the surface of a liquid and then release them via chemical triggers. Our task was to use high-resolution computer tomography to obtain a virtual and thus non-destructive view of the inside of the gas marbles and thus to determine their structure in more detail.

R3VOLUTION for industrial water management! 💧 Within the use case: Pulp & Paper together with Felix Schoeller, maximizing water reuse and resource recovery is our goal in this project. We are leading the work package devoted to developing advanced approaches for membrane technology application. Considering the specific know-how, we have gained in the last years in the field of ceramic membrane development and fabrication and regarding integration of these membrane-based technologies into existing processes including water treatment, our contribution in R3VOLUTION Project is required to revolutionize industrial waste management in one of the most important industries worldwide. The annual turnover from the production of pulp as well as graphic, hygienic, packaging and specialized paper grades and products amounts to around 180 billion euros in the EU. Furthermore, the solutions we offer not only cover technological aspects, but also economic and ecological ones. Hence, the integration of process automation and digitalization in the different processes is mandatory to reach the waste water optimization. We are therefore involved in these monitoring and data mining activities.

Beim Ausbau der Wasserstoffinfrastruktur wird auch die dezentrale, nicht-leitungsgebundene Versorgung weiterhin eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Daher arbeiten wir gemeinsam mit Partnern im Projekt »HYlight Cylinder« daran, Gasflaschen für Speicherung und Transport von Wasserstoff weiter zu optimieren. Im Projekt soll ein Hochdruckstahlbehälter entwickelt werden, der 500 bar anstelle der üblichen 300 bar Betriebsdruck aushält. Das ermöglicht bei gleichem Volumen eine höhere Speicherkapazität. Zudem soll untersucht werden, wie die Wanddicke des Behälters und damit der Materialeinsatz reduziert werden kann, ohne die Stabilität zu beeinflussen. Unser Team um Dr. Ralf Wyrwa forscht dabei an Komposit-Barriereschichten basierend auf Polymeren und anorganischen Materialien für die Stahlflasche und testet diese hinsichtlich ihrer Widerstandsfähigkeit gegenüber Rissbildungen, verursacht durch Wasserstoffversprödung. 🤝Projektpartner: eurocylinder systems AG | Galvanotechnik Jens Holzapfel GmbH | Kersten coating technology | TITK e.V. 💶 Förderung: Das vom Freistaat Thüringen geförderte Vorhaben wurde durch Mittel der Europäischen Union im Rahmen des Europäischen Fonds für regionale Entwicklung (EFRE) kofinanziert. #wasserstoff #energiespeicher #gasflasche

Maschinen und Anlagen akustisch auf Anomalien untersuchen? Unser kostenfreies OpenZfP-KI-Portal macht es möglich! 💡 Anomalien sind Abweichungen vom Normalzustand, die Hinweise auf Verschleiß, lockere oder defekte Bauteile bieten. Bisher werden solche Daten nur stichprobenartig, meist auch händisch geprüft und stützen sich in vielen Fällen auf Erfahrungen der Prüfenden. Mit unserem OpenZfP-KI-Portal, das auf Künstlicher Intelligenz basiert, können Sie Audiodaten automatisiert auswerten lassen. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit der Fehlererkennung ist von der jeweiligen Anwendung abhängig und liegt bei bis zu 100 Prozent. Überzeugen Sie sich selbst 👉 https://bit.ly/3VVuWDB #ndt #portal #künstlicheintelligenz

Many biodegradable materials such as polyvinyl alcohol or polycaprolactone can be electrospun to obtain biodegradable membranes. 💡 The obtained biodegradable membranes can provide antimicrobial properties and enhanced wound healing by integrated biologically active components. Silver nano composites, bacteriophages and antimicrobial enzymes offer new opportunities and alternatives to antibiotics. Together with partners we develop customized materials for specific use cases. Peter Schmieder explains the technology in our EUREKA lab.
