Zircons and fluids: An experimental investigation with applications for radioactive waste disposal. Stability of zircons: Progress report, January 1992--December 1992

Description: The long-term stability of nuclear waste forms or barriers is related to changes in physical properties of the material induced through radiation damage and subsequent changes in solubility. Investigations conducted on natural zircons (ZrSiO{sub 4}) supports a positive correlation between level of alpha damage and fluid composition to enhanced levels of corrosion. In this report we present preliminary data on the nature and rate of the solution process involving < 600,000 year-old zircons being… more

Advanced direct liquefaction concepts for PETC generic units. Quarterly technical progress report, January--March 1992

Description: In the Advance Coal Liquefaction Concept Proposal (ACLCP) carbon monoxide (CO) and water have been proposed as the primary reagents in the pretreatment process. The main objective of this project is to develop a methodology for pretreating coal under mild conditions based on a combination of existing processes which have shown great promise in liquefaction, extraction and pyrolysis studies. The aim of this pretreatment process is to partially depolymerise the coal, eliminate oxygen and diminish… more

Coolside Waste Management Research Quarterly Report: January-March 1992

Description: Preparations are nearing completion to begin the field lysimeter and laboratory lysimeter studies. Approval has not yet been received to place the Coolside wastes in the field lysimeters. Winter wig delay emplacement of the waste until the weather moderates. Much of the technical progress for January centered on preliminary evaluation of Coolside samples for laboratory lysimeter testing and development of chemical analysis techniques. Approximate estimates of element concentrations in the leach… more

Coolside Waste Management Research Quarterly Report: July-September 1992

Description: TCLP analysis of the Coolside pellets and Ottawa base sand materials were completed. The metal concentrations for the 8 RCRA metals were well below the trigger values with all but Ag and Se being below the drinking water standard levels. The initial and final pH values showed the sand had essentially no neutralization capacity while the neutralization capacity of the pilot plant materials was above the 0.7 meq/g upper level for use of extraction solution [number sign]1 but well below the 2 meq/… more

Enzymology of Acetone-Butanol-Isopropanol Formation Progress Report: 1992

Description: Our research primarily involves Clostridium which is a species containing strains with the rare ability To produce the useful chemical isopropanol, in addition to acetone, butanol and ethanol. In related studies, we also included another solvent-producing organism, and Bacillus macerans, which is a facultative anaerobe and produces a high level of acetone and ethanol under anaerobic conditions. Because B. macerans does not produce butyric ac id or butanol, it provides a simpler system for the s… more
