Nuclear |
| Each stage in the nuclear fuel cycle, from ore extraction to fuel recycling and waste management, requires characterisation of the different materials used and accurate quantifying of radioactive substances. Thermal analysis and calorimetry can provide accurate measurement solutions at each stage. |
|
Fuel Cell & Hydrogen |
| Hydrogen can be produced as a storable, clean fuel from the world's sustainable nonfossil primary energy sources—solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, biomass, geothermal, nuclear, or tidal. Storage of hydrogen in solid materials has the potential to become a safe and efficient way to store energy, both for stationary and mobile applications with fuel cells. The calorimetric techniques are ideal tools for the investigation of the storage capacities of various materials under normal and high pressures. Thermal techniques are also used for the investigation of ceramics and materials used in the fuel cells. |
|
CO2 Capture and Sequestration |
| Carbon neutral energy generation lies not just with renewable sources of energy, but with technology to make existing, and future energy sources, more environmentally responsible. One of the key areas of research is into the capture and sequestration of CO2 and Setaram offers a broad range of technologies that can be used to assist your research in these important fields. |
|
Battery Development and Testing |
| Batteries are essential power sources for every application from your new MP3 player, to the development of carbon neutral transportation. As demand for new and more powerful battery packs grows so do materials requirements. Setaram offers you a broad range of technologies for your laboratory, including traditional TGA and DSC as well as Gas Sorption techniques. |
|
Gas Hydrates |
| Although hydrates are known to store immense amounts of methane, with major implications for energy resources and climate, the natural controls on hydrates and their impacts on the environment are very poorly understood. With the adaptation of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to high pressure investigations, the calorimetric technique is the most suitable method for predicting gas hydrate formation, determining the thermodynamic properties and the kinetics of formation and dissociation with any type of gas and mixture. |
|
Fossil energies |
| Fossil fuels are present in nature in different forms: solid, liquid, gas. Most of them are directly burned as fuel, carbonized or distilled to produce secondary fuels. The thermal treatment is of great importance in fossil fuel uses. Thermal analysis and calorimetry are of prime interest in this field, especially for crude oil, coal, oil shales or heavy oils especially, for their classification and characterization, for their thermal transformation and for the combustion process. |

BATTERY SAFETY 2010
Boston, MA - USA
We will also be holding a workshop on November 4th entitled:
An Introduction to Assesment of Batteries & Materials Using Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis
A seminar designed to help understand the applications of calorimetry and thermal analysis in the assessment of batteries, cells and materials development. This includes everything from screening materials, to self discharge and of course abuse and overcharge testing.
The agenda is a series of presentations that introduce the techniques, principles of operation and key measurement capabilities of different techniques as well as a review of data and publications in the recent months that describe experimental procedures being applied today throughout the battery world. - October 18, 2010 - October 22, 2010

MOF'S Conference
Marseille, FRANCE
This conference will follow the very successful 2008 conference that was held in Augsburg. The conference 2010 will be organized in Marseille at a central location overlooking the old port. The aims of MOF2010 are to address all questions concerning the community working with Metal Organic Frameworks, Metal Coordination Compounds and related materials. The spectrum of topics to be treated range from synthesis and characterization of new materials to properties of materials towards potential applications in biology/medicine, catalysis, magnetism, luminescence and sorption. Both experimental and theoretical aspects will be dealt with, along with key questions pertaining to potential industrial applications of this fascinating family of materials. - September 05, 2010 - September 10, 2010
SCTE 2010
Annecy, FRANCE
17th International Conference on Solid Compounds of Transition Elements
SCTE 2010 will be held in Annecy September, 5-10, 2010. The conference will be jointly organized by Institut Néel, CNRS-Université Joseph Fourier, Grenoble and Institut de Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Bordeaux, CNRS- Université Bordeaux 1, Bordeaux.
