The use of synchrotron radiation for the analysis of coal combustion products

Description: An understanding of the chemical composition of such slags under boiler operating conditions and as function of the mineral composition of various coals is the ultimate goal of this program. The experiment involves scanning through the K- or L-shell absorption edge of the element in question. The structure of the absorption edge, consisting of transitions to unoccupied molecular levels, can be compared to those of model compounds for identification. The relative position of the absorption edge … more

The effects of biodegradation and water washing on sulfur compound speciation in crude oils from the Bolivar Coastal Fields

Description: A series of crude oils from a partially and heavily biodegraded reservoir were analyzed fro sulfur compound speciation by x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The most reasonable explanation of the data is that they represent a maturity sequence. There is no strong evidence that biodegradation or water washing produce any major changes in sulfur compound speciation. 9 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.

Global climate feedbacks

Description: The important physical, chemical, and biological events that affect global climate change occur on a mesoscale -- requiring high spatial resolution for their analysis. The Department of Energy has formulated two major initiatives under the US Global Change Program: ARM (Atmospheric Radiation Measurements), and CHAMMP (Computer Hardware Advanced Mathematics and Model Physics). ARM is designed to use ground and air-craft based observations to document profiles of atmospheric composition, clouds, … more

Global climate feedbacks: Conclusions and recommendations of the June 1990 BNL workshop

Description: The issue of global change initiated by increases in the concentrations of CO{sub 2} and other greenhouse gases is a scientific issue with major policy implications. The best means to examine the response of the Earth's climate to prospective perturbations in radiative forcing caused by such changes, and to other industrial activities, is modeling, specifically by means of general circulation models (GCMs) of the Earth's atmosphere and of the coupled atmosphere-ocean system. The purpose of this… more

Application of synchrotron radiation for coal analysis

Description: The inorganic constituents of coal and their products upon combustion in a furnace can cause a fouling of heat exchanger surfaces. This leads to a number of problems in the generation of electric power including corrosion, pollution, and the reduction of the overall efficiency. The objective of this project is the study of transformations and their kinetics of the inorganic elements upon combustion of a representative number of coals. Considerable data have been accumulated on the final product… more

Comparison of biochemical microbial effects in enhanced oil recovery (MEOR)

Description: Experimental data dealing with the interactions between certain microbial species and crude oils indicates that these interactions are selective and occur via biochemical pathways which can be characterized by the chemical composition of the initial crude oil and that of the end products. In the studies discussed in this paper, the microbial species used were thermophilic and/or thermoadapted microorganisms which thrive in harsh environments (e.g., pH, temperature, pressure, salinity). Crude oi… more

The significance of chemical markers in bioprocessing of fossil fuels

Description: Biochemical conversion of crude oils is a multi-step process proceeding through a series of biochemical reactions. These reactions can be characterized by a set of chemical markers which are associated with the chemical composition of crude oils. Reactions with heavy crude oils indicate that there is an overall decrease in the concentration and chemical speciation of organic sulfur compounds, and a redistribution of hydrocarbons and organometallic species. The contents of trace metals in the cr… more

Sulfur transformations in early diagenetic sediments from the Bay of Concepcion, off Chile

Description: Despite the recognition that both organic sulfur and pyrite form during the very early stages of diagenesis, and that the amount of H{sub 2}S generated in bacterial sulfate reduction primarily limits their formation, the mechanisms and the active species involved still are not clear. In this study, we quantified the major forms of sulfur distributed in sediments to assess the geochemical mechanisms involved in these transformations. XANES spectroscopy, together with elemental analysis, were use… more

Recent Progress in the Use of Synchrotron Radiation for the Analysis of Coal Combustion Products

Description: The formation and build-up of slag deposits on heat transfer surfaces is one of the most serious problems in pulverized coal combustion. This phenomenon, traditionally called wall slagging, is known to cause undesirable effects on heat and mass transfer and in some instances induce corrosion. What is believed to be a major mechanism for the production of slag is the formation of low melting eutectic compounds in the post combustion region, many of which will stick to the heat transfer surface. … more

AVS: Experimental Tests of a New Process to Inductively Vitrify HLW Inside the Final Disposal Containers at Very High Waste Loadings

Description: The design and performance capabilities of the Advanced Vitrification System (AVS) are described, together with the results of experimental tests. The AVS is an in-can melting system in which high-level waste (HLW) is vitrified directly inside the final disposal container. The AVS container, or module, consists of an outer stainless steel canister and an alumina-lined, inner graphite crucible, which is thermally insulated from the outer stainless canister. The graphite crucible is inductively h… more
