RESUMO
The inspection of very large or thick structures represents one of the biggest challenges for nondestructive techniques. For such objects, a particularly powerful technique is muography, which makes use of free, natural cosmic-ray muons. Among other applications, this technique has been applied to provide two-dimensional (2D) images of nuclear reactors, pyramids, or volcanos. Recently, 3D algorithms developed for medical applications were adapted to the special case of muon imaging to derive density maps. The main difficulties relate to the size of the object and to the limited number of available projections. Here, we report on the first 3D imaging of a whole nuclear reactor, obtained without any prior information on its structure and using the largest set of muographic projections ever made in this field.
RESUMO
The adsorption of benzene by CuBTC and MIL101(Cr) is investigated. The differences between both materials are discussed in terms of porous volume and affinities, determined by calculating Henry's constants and by measuring the adsorption enthalpies. If MIL101(Cr) adsorbs higher quantities of benzene, CuBTC develops stronger interaction, interesting for VOC remediation.
