Chemical Techinology Division, Unit Operations Section Monthly Progress Report, April 1960

Description: Experiments showed that 30% tributyl phosphate will not extract acid- deficient species of uranyl nitrate. Flooding throughputs for the Mark I stacked- clone contactor ranged from 600 cc/min organic at zero aqueous to 60 cc/min organic at 1950 cc aqueous. A large electronic vibrator of 5000-lb thrust was found somewhat inferior to pneumatic vibration for compacting oxide fuels into stainless-steel tubes. Tests were started on the use of fixed-bed CuO oxidizers for removing hydrogen contaminatio… more

Chemical Technology Division, Unit Operations Section Monthly Progress Report, July 1960

Description: A critical review of the literature revealed no experiments on uranyl ion transfer from an aqueous to a tributyl phosphate phase which positively measured the kinetics of the chemical reaction at the interphase. Drawing isorhythmic lines on a three component diagram gives a complex correlation for the compaction of three sizes of glass beads. Neither the use of thoria sols nor high feed solution concentrations of thorium nitrate gave any significant increase in mean particle diameters over thos… more

Chemical Technology Division Unit Operations Section Monthly Progress Report June 1956

Description: The primary objective of this report is the monthly distribution of experimental data as acquired during that period in the course of engineering studies. Much of the data is of preliminary nature and, therefore, reasonable care should be exercised in its application. You are invited to contact the individual authors for substantiation.
