Catalyzed gasification of biomass

Description: Catalyzed biomass gasification studies are being conducted by Battelle's Pacific Northwest Laboratories. Investigations are being carried out concurrently at the bench and process development unit scales. These studies are designed to test the technical and economic feasibility of producing specific gaseous products from biomass by enhancing its reactivity and product specificity through the use of specific catalysts. The program is directed at controlling the gasification reaction through the … more

Remotely operable modular shear system for shearing nuclear reactor spent fuel conceptual design. Final summary report

Description: A unique feature of the shear system is the requirement for a removable master tool module and tool submodule assembly. Each tooling submodule is designed specifically to meet the compaction, gagging, and shearing requirements for specific spent fuel assemblies. These submodules are interchangeable within a common master tool module housing. The cross section of the spent fuel assemblies range from a 4.575-in. hexagonal shrouded to a 8.75-in. square grid-unshrouded. A number of interrelated ini… more

Toxic Substances Control Act: a chemist's view

Description: The growing awareness of the hazards of chemicals in the environment has resulted in the passing of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) on Oct. 11, 1976. This paper attempts to cover some of the salient features of Public Law 94-469, EPA's approach to implementation of its provisions, and some of a chemist's perceptions of TSCA's prospects of success.
