Show moreAluminosilicate zeolites were first introduced in the early 1950s for applications in adsorption, separation, catalytic conversion and refinery of petroleum. There has been rapid progress since then in synthesizing new zeolites and in developing new zeolitic processes; but there has been less progress in understanding the mechanism and chemistry of various synthesis routes and procedures. Consider, for example, that more than fifty topologically distinct zeolites can be produced from silicon, aluminum, and oxygen simply by varying the ratio of SiO2 to Al2O3 in the synthesis mixture, the alkalinity of the mixture, and the composition of the base. Most of these recipes have been formulated empirically. Consider also that while over a hundred different zeolite framework types have been successfully synthesized, at least another thousand are possible based upon theoretical studies. If the chemistry of zeolite formation at a molecular level was better understood then it would be easier to design various viable syntheses. One key to gaining a good understanding of zeolite synthesis mechanisms is through in-situ characterization of the reaction system. Although some characterization tools have been developed to accomplish this, much improvement could be made using special reactors and penetrating radiation from neutron and synchrotron x-ray sources. In principle, in-situ small angle scattering combined with diffraction, NMR, IR, EXAFS, XANES, and other techniques (sometimes simultaneously) can be used to follow the evolution of the zeolite structure from the molecular level, to micron-sized clusters, and beyond. The possible presence of density fluctuation in the solution state, the kinetics of zeolite crystallization from the solution, and the structure identification of the zeolite phases formed under various conditions can be experimentally determined. What is needed to be able to do these studies is some clever design and testing of reactors that will accommodate the often caustic zeolite reaction systems and also allow penetration of the analyzing radiations. The focus of the proposed work is thus design and testing of reactors for use at Argonne National Laboratory at the Advanced Photon Source or at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source, and application of the reactors for characterization of zeolite syntheses. Proof of principle work should be at atmospheric pressure, which is the most applicable for now; and the top temperature range should be 50 degrees C.

Show moreThe introduction of the robotics IPRO program in its few years has already served the IIT community some rather practical and innovative concepts of robotics. Through an impressive and beneficial advancement, the program has successfully carried on to the spring 2005 semester. The goals of the program remain simply a quest to advance the art of robotics in the IIT community. The stage has been aptly set by previous IPROS for higher and more substantial progression on this cause. The goals of the IPRO Spring 2005 team will be to create four prototypes of not merely user friendly robots but a sophisticated utilitarian bunch that would gain enough attention in support of the ultimate cause of the introduction of a robotics course. The Peppy, Roomba, Darpa and the Pyro are the four prototypes set for construction this semester.

It is classically defined as any form of energy that comes from renewable sources and, for all practical purposes, cannot be depleted. This may include solar, wind, or geothermal power, as well as biomass or biofuels. When considering biomass, or any living or recently dead biological material, the chemical energy of the molecules is generally collected through the process of combustion.

Show moreSynthetic biology is a relatively new approach to genetic research where the focus is to build a simple genetic system with known processes and test it in a biological setting. This is in contrast to the reductionist approach where a complex pre-existing biological system is analyzed in an attempt to discover the purpose of each of the parts. In this IPRO, a very simple genetic system is being designed, built, and tested in a biological setting. Previous semesters have already accomplished such in bacteria. This semester's focus will be on building the system designed last semester and inserting it into an eukaryotic organism; the zebrafish. The main purpose of this IPRO is to advance the knowledge of biological systems and their manipulation. This is being done through the design and creation of a simple, but novel, genetic circuit, and the introduction of this circuit into an organism to observe its properties in vivo. In order to accomplish this goal, we have split up into 4 different sub-teams: Fish, Math Modeling, Futures and Design, and Construction
