This work will be the initiation of a micro-to-nano fluidics program at SRNL which would bring the benefits of the application of Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) devices by unveiling micro-to-nano fluidics physico-chemical phenomena. We are setting up a microfluidic system in 735-11A. The system consists of two pressure pumps driven by pressure (a type 1A nitrogen cylinder). The pressure allows fluid to be passed through micro to nanometer channels on microfluidic chips. The fluid flows typically are in the micro to nano liters per minute range upon exiting the system. We will initially test the system with organic and aqueous solutions followed by a PUREX type separation. Droplet chips will then be used to study such things as precipitation and liquid-liquid or gas-liquid separations. The precipitation study will be done primarily with metal oxalates such as rare earth oxalates.
