Halogen element (F, Cl, Br, and I) content and distribution in natural and synthetic sphalerite – a SIMS study (Id 236)
Master theses / Diploma theses
Due to crystallochemical considerations, sphalerite (ZnS) as a typical sulfide mineral should not contain high contents of the halogen elements fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. Current research findings proved at least for chlorine and bromine elevated contents up to 1000 µg*g-1 (Cl) and x0 µg*g-1 (Br). If it appears that the halogen elements are built into the lattice and not in fluid- and mineral inclusions we will be able to draw conclusions about the chemical as well as physicochemical parameters of the ore-forming fluids.
Using the Super-SIMS setup we could prove that all halogens are detactable in natural sphalerites.
The aim of the thesis is to analyse and compare these natural sphalerites by normal SIMS. Additionally halogen-rich synthetic sphalerites will be analysed.

Untersuchung konvektionsgetriebener Beeinflussung des Erstarrungsgefüges von Leichtmetalllegierungen (Id 234)
Bachelor theses / Master theses / Diploma theses / Student Assistant
Die Gefügeeigenschaftsbeziehungen fordern für Konstruktionswerkstoffe zumeist ein möglichst feines, homogenes und isotrop belastbares Erstarrungsgefüge. Für Aluminiumgusslegierungen wird dies durch Zusätze von Veredelungs- und Kornfeinungsmitteln erreicht. Diese Zusätze verursachen Kosten, sind problematisch bezüglich Recycling sowie dem Umweltschutz und haben weitestgehend keinen positiven Einfluss auf intermetallische Verbindungen. Es besteht daher der Wunsch, ohne Zusätze ein feines und homogenes Erstarrungsgefüge einstellen zu können. Ein probates Mittel ist der Einsatz von elektromagnetischen Feldern. Diese sind für Leichtmetallschmelzen zur kontaktlosen Erzeugung einer Strömung mit nachweislich positiven Effekten geeignet. Dabei sind die Auswirkungen auf die Morphologie von intermetallischen Verbindungen kaum erforscht.
Ziel ist es, mit Hilfe von elektromagnetisch erzeugter Konvektion die Kristallisationsmorphologie von intermetallischen Phasen zu verändern und gleichzeitig Kornfeinungsmittel ganz oder teilweise zu substituieren. Für die wissenschaftliche Bewertung der Aluminium-Gussbolzen ist eine qualitative und quantitative Gefügecharakterisierung notwendig. Zusätzlich besteht die Möglichkeit, die Metallurgie von Aluminiumlegierungen kennenzulernen und den Erstarrungsverlauf an Hand von Temperaturverläufen zu studieren. Grundlage für die Arbeit ist es, sich in die Thematik des elektromagnetischen Rührens von Metallen und deren Auswirkung auf das Gefüge einzuarbeiten. Des Weiteren wird eine selbständige Arbeitsweise bei der Gefügeanalyse erwartet. Es sollte Interesse an Erstarrungsvorgängen und der damit einhergehenden Gefügeausbildung bestehen.

VOF simulation of bubble formation using OpenFoam (Id 231)
Master theses / Diploma theses
The formation of gas bubbles by submerged needles or orifices is of great importance for diverse industrial applications, because it influences the bubble size and thereby bubble rise velocity. To optimize the industrial process, the fundamental physics of the bubble formation should be understood. However, some of the fundamental knowledge is still lacking. The goal of this work is to investigate the bubble formation, growth and departure from a submerged orifice using the volume of fluid (VOF) method in OpenFoam. The main tasks include:
• Simulation of the bubble formation and departure process using interFoam
• Acquiring the parameters of interest, e.g. bubble size, shape and detachment frequency, from the simulation results by writing post-processing scripts
• Analyse and document simulation results

3D chemical imaging inside materials (Id 230)
Master theses
2-dimensional imaging of surfaces is the preferred method to analyse the microstructure of rocks for industrial and academic research. The main advantages of 2D imaging are the high resolution and the possibility to analyse the chemical and mineral composition of surfaces. 3D imaging of mineral phases inside a material is also possible using tomographic techniques although the resolution is often lower than surface techniques and no elemental information can be derived. A new energy detector capable of identifying the elements inside rocks is being tested. The student will use the new detector to identify chemical elements and mineral phases inside samples in order to develop new analytical techniques to answer questions important to research and to industry.
Different cases studies are possible:
Project 1: Gold and galena are very dense minerals with similar spatial distribution in porphyritic deposits, which makes them indistinguishable using normal CT. The goal is to optimize the scanning conditions, using the new detector, to identify the valuable gold particles. These particles will be characterized using 3D imaging to estimate the potential value of the deposit and to help defining the mining and mineral processing strategy. Important 3D characteristics include mineral association (pirite/ chalcopyrite/ quartz), particle size distribution. 3D results will be compared to 2D mineral liberation analysis. Due to the small size of gold particles calibration using larger particles may be required.
Project 2: Tin and gold are important technological components of electronic devices (e.g. up to 3 g of Sn in each iphone). To meet their increasing demand mining lower grade deposits and recycling obsolete electronics are necessary. Common to mining and recycling are the steps of grading the elemental content of either rocks or scrap so that the material can be sorted and processed efficiently. A radiographic technique using the new detector will be tested to grade the content of tin and gold. The project aims to determine the suitability of the technique for larger scale application by optimizing the experimental conditions and assessing the spatial resolution, particle size limits, sample environment effect (rock vs scrap), and other factors. Ultimately, the concentration of other minor elements (Bi, Ag, Pb, In) may be detectable, which could be good or could interfere with the measurement of Au and Sn.
Project 3: Rare earth elements, fundamental to HiTec applications, are usually mined as a mixture of lanthanides present in a mixture of primary and secondary minerals, such as xenotime (YPO4), monazite (CePO4) as well as parasite (Ca(Ce,La)2(CO3)3F2) or bastnaesite (Ce(CO3)F). The presence of some lanthanides and their relative abundance, especially the economic extremely important ratio of HREE (Y + Gd - Lu) to LREE (La - Gd) can vary significantly even within the same deposit depending on the ore formation mechanism. This work aims to define the principal analytical parameters necessary to estimate the LREE/HREE value in a sample with other minerals with similar densities present.
Most experimental work is similar to all projects
- Preparation of calibration samples with known properties to evaluate the resolution of the technique.
- Optimization of scanning conditions to maximize resolution and contrast between phases.
- Characterize the 3D mineralogical properties of a material using 3D image processing techniques.
- Correlate 3D chemical imaging to 2D SEM imaging, XRD and XRF to compare and validate the new technique.
Expected learning outcomes
– Hands on experience with CT and 3D image processing techniques
– Knowledge of laboratory procedures and analytical techniques used in raw materials research and industry
– Experience developing analytical methods
– Work in an international collaboration project

Dynamics of particles at interfaces (Id 229)
Master theses / Diploma theses
Interfaces between air-liquid, liquid-liquid and liquid-solid are very important and they affect many industrial processes including flotation. Here, we want to hydrophobize particles by means of surfactants adsorption and investigate their attachment to air-liquid interface. This is important as the interfacial interactions between bubbles, particles and liquid determine the efficiency of flotation process.
We aim to understand:
• The effect of surfactant tail length on hydrophobicity of particles and their interfacial behavior
• The effect of salinity and pH on interfacial behavior of surfactant molecules
• The influence of these variables on the properties of emulsions and foams
Experimental methods:
• Profile analysis tensiometry (PAT)
• Zeta potential measurements and particle sizing by dynamic light scattering (DLS)
These experimental methods and the topic of particles at interfaces can prepare you for different jobs after graduation, as these concepts are widely applicable in various areas such as mineral processing, recycling, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, painting and so on.

Direct numerical simulation of aerosol deposition in turbulent flows (Id 228)
Bachelor theses / Master theses / Diploma theses / Compulsory internship
The institute of fluids dynamics has been developing various numerical tools for the prediction of particle transport in flows. A distinguished feature of the institute lies in the deposition and resuspension of solid particles in turbulent flows. In many industrial and natural processes, the deposition of solid particles is of significant importance. A typical example includes for instance the deposition and the resuspension of microplastic particles in rivers. Our previous experimental and numerical studies showed that the deposition of particles is considerably increased in a turbulent flow evolving over a rough wall surface. Within the frame of a 6-month internship, a model will be developed to randomly generate realistic three-dimensional terrains (height maps). The objective of the internship will be to study the effect of randomness in the generated terrains on the particle deposition rate. The flow simulations will be performed using direct numerical simulations.

Process intensification of multiphase reactors (Id 227)
Bachelor theses / Master theses / Diploma theses
Multiphase reactors are widely used in the chemical industry. Especially, trickle bed reactors are advantageous, due to the high residence time, which compensate low diffusion rates. Examples are hydrogenations, aminations or oxidation of glucose.
Recently, a new multiphase reactor was developed to intensify the mass transfer by the superposition of rotation an inclination. To investigate the innovative reactor concept a modelling approach for the space-time-yield is necessary.
In the framework of a student thesis a reactor-particle model will be investigated via simulation studies. Additionally, further model improvements will be considered as the incorporation of heat balances. The simulations have to be executed in the MATLAB environment.

Synthesis and characterization of isotope specific 'in-house standards' for the analysis of light and medium-heavy trace elements in natural minerals by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) (Id 222)
Master theses / Diploma theses
Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is a microanalytical method with a very good lateral and depth resolution combined with excellent limits of detection as well as a weak degree of destruction.
However, the method is very matrix sensitive and requires matrix adapted reference materials. Actually, there are no certified reference materials available for mineralogical studies. Therefore most SIMS labs use so-called ‘in-house’ standards.
The concentration of trace elements in minerals is of great economic importance as a quality parameter for raw materials. On the other hand, it bears very valuable genetic mineralogical information.
In collaboration with an industrial partner we will use the new method "energy-filter for ion implantation" as a tool for the production of matrix-matched reference materials (RMs) with a homogeneous trace element distribution in all three dimensions. These RMs will be used for SIMS and EPMA purposes.
The thesis project has the following aims:
• Determination of implantation possibilities for selected elements over the complete range of densities of naturally minerals using the available filters
• Calculation of the implantation parameters
• Experimental test of these parameters on selected minerals
• Test of the implantation by means of SIMS and EPMA

Beiträge zur Weiterentwicklung der ultraschnelle Röntgencomputertomografie (Id 212)
School practical training / Master theses / Diploma theses
Die im Institut für Fluiddynamik am HZDR entwickelte Ultraschnelle Röntgencomputertomografie wird bei der Beforschung von Strömungsvorgängen auf einer Vielzahl von Themengebieten als berührungsloses, bildgebendes Messverfahren genutzt. Dabei wird mit Hilfe eines freien Elektronenstrahls, der durch Magnetfelder im Vakuum geführt wird, eine um das Messobjekt rotierende Röntgenstrahlungsquelle erzeugt. Aus den vom Detektor synchron aufgenommenen Projektionsdatensätzen werden 2D-Schnittbildsequenzen der Schwächungsverteilung im Messobjekt mit hoher räumlicher und sehr hoher zeitlicher Auflösung generiert. In den letzten Jahren wurden die bestehenden ROFEX-Scanner stetig verbessert. Gleichwohl besteht Entwicklungspotential im Bereich des Monitorings der Röntgenquellposition, d.h. des Fokuspunkts des Elektronenstrahls, da dieser sehr empfindlich auf Störeinflüsse, wie zum Beispiel parasitäre Magnetfelder, reagiert. Schlussendlich wäre eine aktive, dynamische Nachjustage des Elektronenstrahls das Entwicklungsziel.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit sollen zunächst Konzepte für ein in-situ Strahlbahnmonitoring entwickelt und bewertet werden. Für das erfolgversprechendste Konzept soll ein Realisierungsvorschlag bis hin zur Auslegung notwendiger Komponenten erarbeitet werden. Ein praktischer Test ist wünschenswert, wenn in der Zeit möglich.

Looking for treasures inside rocks: from 2D to 3D (Id 204)
Bachelor theses / Master theses / Diploma theses
2-dimensional imaging of surfaces is the preferred method to analyse the microstructure of rocks for industrial and academic research. The main advantages of 2D imaging are the high resolution and the possibility to analyse the chemical and phase composition of surfaces. However, it is inaccurate to extrapolate bulk quantitative information from the inside of a rock based on just looking at its surface.
This project aims to develop the first experimental procedures to correlate quantitative 3D imaging (computed tomography, CT) with high resolution chemical 2D imaging (e.g. electron microscopy, SEM / MLA, and spectroscopy). You will gain hands on experience on these techniques and sample preparation. You are expected to develop the experimental workflow and to optimize the image analysis to achieve the best correlation between 2D and 3D imaging. This correlation will allow you to identify the valuable minerals and their 3D properties inside rocks from mining sites and ore processing plants.

These system are promising candidates for future grid storages and waste heat utilisation, respectively.
In both systems, metal alloys and intermetallic phases of reactive alkali metals (lithium, potassium, sodium) are formed. Within this work, these alloys will be analysed and characterised by LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy). LIBS is a type of emission spectroskopy, where laser ablated and excited sample particles are analysed. The aim is to determine the cell performance on the basis of the state of charge and health, respectively, and derive corresponding measures for optimisation.
Work packages include:
- Characterisation of measured spectra by multivariate analysis
- Development of a suitable evaluation tool
- Preparation of reference samples and analysis of reproducibility
- Method development for sample taking and preparation

Simulation of ion optical behaviour of ions in the mass range between 1 and 300 amu during coupling of a SIMS instrument with a tandem accelerator (Id 200)
Master theses / Diploma theses
Actually, a Super-SIMS-Set-up is developed at the HZDR Ion Beam Centre (IBC) by connecting a conventional SIMS-source (SIMS = Secondary ion mass spectrometry) to a 6 MV tandem accelerator. Due to the acceleration of the extracted secondary ions to MeV-energies and their charge reversal from negative to positive ions, Super-SIMS can reach about 2 to 3 orders of magnitude lower detection limits (up to 10-12 or ppt, highly depending on analyte and matrix) as conventional SIMS.
The CAMECA 7fauto SIMS spectrometer is coupled by means of a 30 kV potential to the 6MV tandem accelerator. This potential is needed to fulfil the acceptance conditions of the accelerator. The beam transfer from the SIMS, seen as an ion source, to the entrance lens differs individually for every type of ion (mass and energy) and needs to be studied systematically.
The aim of the thesis is a systematic survey of all possible negative secondary ions (masses 1 – 300) in the energy range of the connection ion optics. The method of simulation will be SIMION® (http://simion.com/) an ion optical modelling and calculation software.

Ion beam transport calculations for Super-SIMS project (Id 199)
Master theses / Diploma theses
Actually, a Super-SIMS-Set-up is developed at the HZDR Ion Beam Centre (IBC) by connecting a conventional SIMS-source (SIMS = Secondary ion mass spectrometry) to a 6 MV tandem accelerator. Due to the acceleration of the extracted secondary ions to MeV-energies and their charge reversal from negative to positive ions, Super-SIMS can reach about 2 to 3 orders of magnitude lower detection limits (up to 10-12 or ppt, highly depending on analyte and matrix) as conventional SIMS. To understand and optimize the ion-optics needed for these challenging project calculations should be performed. All the existing hardware at the IBC, like einzel lenses, quadrupoles, magnets have to be implemented in the calculation. The tool to perform and visualize the ion optic calculations will be LIMIOPTIC (www.limioptic.de), which was built for the CologneAMS (http://www.cologneams.uni-koeln.de/) system similar to the setup DREAMS at the IBC. The results of these calculations have to be compared with real machine settings and used for improvement of the transmission parameters of the whole system.

Simulation of the critical time line of ions in the mass range between 1 and 300 amu in a Super-SIMS setup (Id 198)
Master theses / Diploma theses
Actually, a Super-SIMS-Set-up is developed at the HZDR Ion Beam Centre (IBC) by connecting a conventional SIMS-source (SIMS = Secondary ion mass spectrometry) to a 6 MV tandem accelerator. Due to the acceleration of the extracted secondary ions to MeV-energies and their charge reversal from negative to positive ions, Super-SIMS can reach about 2 to 3 orders of magnitude lower detection limits (up to 10-12 or ppt, highly depending on analyte and matrix) as conventional SIMS.
The basis for a coordinated control software between ion source (SIMS instrument), accelerator and the detectors of the high-energy mass spectrometer is a sound knowledge of the flight time of ions in the mass range between 1 and 300 amu and the complete energy range on the low and high-energy side.
The aim of the thesis is the establishment of a small software tool which allows the simulation of the critical time line of given ions in a broad range of ion optical conditions. The simulation should base on ion optical simulations done with the LIMIOPTIC (www.limioptic.de) and SIMION® (http://simion.com/) codes.
It is the intention that the software tool runs either independently or could be integrated in the future control software of the Super-SIMS.

Smart actuation system for flow following µAUV particles for industrial process environments (Id 175)
Master theses / Diploma theses / Compulsory internship
Smart flow following sensor particles are used for acquisition of spatially distributed process parameters in industrial processes, such as biogas digesters, waste water treatment basins or bioreactors. The aim of the work is the development of an actuator concept for sensor µAUV-particles for the automatic adjustment of buoyancy (buoyancy) and for buoyancy maneuvers under the condition of small size, minimum energy consumption and high reliability. For this, alternative physical and chemical mechanisms should be considered based on the existing electromechanical solution. There are suitable variants to implement and test. Furthermore, the development of sensor intelligence for the actuators in the sensor particles is an essential part of the task. The developed concepts have to be validated experimentally.

Development of new absorber layers for concentrated solar tower plants (Id 173)
Bachelor theses / Master theses / Diploma theses
Turmkraftwerke stellen die neueste Generation von Anlagen zur solarthermischen Elektroenergieerzeugung dar. Extrem konzentriertes Sonnenlicht wird dabei auf einen zentralen Absorber gerichtet, der die Wärme auf eine Wärmeträgerflüssigkeit überträgt. Zur Erhöhung des Wirkungsgrades von Turmkraftwerken muss die Arbeitstemperatur des Wärmeträgers von derzeit maximal 550°C auf 800°C erhöht werden. Dafür benötigt man neuartige Absorberschichten, deren Funktionalität unter den herrschenden Bedingungen 25 Jahre lang erhalten bleibt.

Liquid flow characterization on distillation column trays (Id 169)
Student practical training / Master theses / Diploma theses / Student Assistant
Distillation is highly important in chemical process industries, as 95% of the worldwide separations use this technology in large industrial columns. Increasing energy costs and higher awareness for environmental concerns motivate towards the optimization of the performance of tray columns. Flow and mixing patterns in the tray columns have strong influence on their separation performance. Plug flow is considered ideal, while any deviations from plug flow are referred as non-idealities that are detrimental to the tray efficiency.
Mathematical models are used to assess the flow patterns and predict the tray efficiency. For this purpose, precise identification of the flow patterns and the hydraulic parameters at high spatio-temporal resolution is a prerequisite. An in-house developed sensor specifically designed for the cross-flow trays will be used in three-dimensional framework. Proper sensor calibration and data processing is essential for the accuracy of the measurements. Further, the flow visualization and determination of the hydraulic parameters need to be achieved through MATLAB scripts.

Bestimmung von Geschwindigkeitsfeldern aus tomographischen Bilddaten mittels Kreuzkorrelation (Id 164)
Bachelor theses / Master theses / Diploma theses
Am Institut für Fluiddynamik am Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf sind zahlreiche Messverfahren für die Untersuchung von Mehrphasenströmungen entwickelt worden. Eines davon ist die ultraschnelle Elektronenstrahl-Röntgen-Computertomographie, welche mit Aufnahmeraten von bis zu 8000 Bildern pro Sekunde eine dedizierte Aufklärung von Strömungsstrukturen erlaubt. Aufgrund der quasi simultanen Aufnahme von Bilddaten aus zwei Messebenen ergibt sich zudem die Möglichkeit, axiale Geschwindigkeiten zu bestimmen, wofür üblicherweise Kreuzkorrelationsverfahren verwendet werden. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit sollen die Möglichkeiten dieser Methodik in Hinblick auf die Bestimmung von Geschwindigkeitsfeldern in verschiedenen Strömungsszenarienn analysiert werden.
Folgende Teilaufgaben sind zu lösen:
• Studie zu verschiedenen Varianten der Kreuzkorrelation
• Simulation verschiedener Szenarien und Bewertung der Genauigkeit
• Übertragung der Ergebnisse auf reale Messungen

Untersuchungen zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz von Belüftungselementen für die Anwendung in der biologischen Abwasserreinigung (Id 154)
Student practical training / Bachelor theses / Master theses / Diploma theses / Student Assistant
Die biologische Abwasserbehandlung leistet einen wesentlichen Beitrag zum Erhalt der Gewässerqualität. Im kommunalen Bereich entfällt ein großer Anteil des Gesamtenergiebedarfs auf die Kläranlagen. In diesen Anlagen wird oft mehr als 50 % der elektrischen Energie für den Eintrag von Luft in Belebungsbecken benötigt, in denen Mikroorganismen die im Abwasser enthaltenen Nährstoffe unter Verbrauch von Sauerstoff zersetzen.
Nach aktuellem Stand der Technik wird die Luft durch Belüftungselemente wie Membran- oder Keramikbelüfter eingetragen. Ein Teil der für den Lufteintrag benötigten Energie wird entweder für die Dehnung der schlitzförmigen Öffnungen der Membranen oder zur Überwindung des Strömungswiderstandes in der Keramikwand aufgewendet.
Neue Konzepte sollen diesen Energiebedarf reduzieren und für einen optimierten Sauerstoffeintrag in das Belebungsbecken sorgen.

Bei der tomographische Bildrekonstruktion muss ein diskretes inverses Problem gelöst werden, wofür algebraische Methoden wie zum Beispiel ART und CG-Verfahren verwendet werden können. Dabei spielt die Regularisierung, die den Einfluss von Diskretisierungsfehler und Messdatenrauschen auf die Lösung beschränkt, eine entscheidende Rolle. Deren Einfluss auf die Bildrekonstruktion von Röntgen- und Gamma-CT-Messdaten soll untersucht werden. Dazu sind folgende Teilaufgaben zu lösen:
• Implementierung verschiedener Regularisierungsmethoden
• Anwendung der Programme auf Messdaten
• Parameterstudien um die Regularisierungsmethoden für die Messdatensätze zu optimieren.
