The goal is to develop energy- and resource-efficient technologies for resource recovery. The relevant processes span a length scale hierarchy of ten decades: from the nanometer-scale particle surface to the micrometer scale of characteristic vortices to the meter scale of industrial plants. Within CeRI2, the micro- and mesoscopic length scales relevant for valuable material extraction in turbulent multiphase flows will be investigated. This is because the opaqueness of such multiphase flows with high solid and gas content hardly allows measurements with classical optical techniques. CeRI² further integrates the Center of Interface Studies (CIS), which bundles the competencies and modern methods of the HZDR in the field of interface research and uses them to understand complex interface phenomena in detail.
All publications based on CeRI² are welcome.
