Tapered fluidized-bed bioreactor: an improved device for continuous cultivation

Description: The bioreactor concept utilizing a tapered fluidized bed has shown considerable promise for use in bioprocesses where the biological agents can be immobilized on a fluidizable solid phase, but the operating characteristics of such a reactor are not yet fully understood. A simple mathematical model (steady state, plug flow conditions) has been developed and tested with experimental data, and calculated values compare favorably with experimental values. A more complete and presumably more valid m… more

Description: The objective of this project is to demonstrate the preliminary technical and economic feasibility of a novel carbon-based process for removal of at least 95% SO{sub 2} and at least 75% NO{sub x} coal combustion flue gas. In the process, flue gas leaving the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is passed through a trickle bed of achieved carbon catalyst employing a periodic flush of low strength sulfuric acid. The SO{sub 2} is oxidized to SO{sub 3} and removed as medium strength sulfuric acid. The … more

Ancillary effects of selected acid deposition control policies

Description: NAPAP is examining a number of potential ways to reduce the precursors (sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) to acid deposition. However, the policies to reduce acid deposition will have other physical, biological and economic effects unrelated to acid deposition. For example, control policies that reduce sulfur dioxide emissions may also increase visibility. The effects of an acid deposition policy that are unrelated to acid deposition are referred to as ''ancillary'' effects. This reserch iden… more

Biological processes for environmental control of effluent streams in the nuclear fuel cycle. [Denitrification; removal of heavy metals]

Description: Nitrates and radioactive heavy metals need to be removed from aqueous effluent streams in the fuel cycle. Biological methods are being developed for reducing nitrate or nitrite to N/sub 2/ gas and for decreasing dissolved metal concentration to less than 1 g/m/sup 3/. Fluidized-bed denitrification bioreactors are being tested. Removal of uranium from solution by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied. (DLC)

Integrated dry NO sub x /SO sub 2 emissions control system

Description: This project's goal is to demonstrate the removal up to 70% of the NO{sub x} and 70% of the SO{sub 2} emissions from coal fired utility boilers. It will establish an alternative emissions control technology integrating a combination of several processes, while minimizing capital expenditures and limiting waste production to dry solids that are handled with conventional ash removal equipment. These processes include low-NO{sub x} burners, NO{sub x} ports and urea injection for NO{sub x} control,… more

Effect of acidity on microbial processes in a forest soil

Description: The objective of this study is to obtain comprehensive baseline information on the microbial activity in a forest soil in order to begin an evaluation of the impact of pollutants resulting from energy related activities. Since most of the soils on Long Island, New York, are poorly buffered and may respond to acid precipitation more quickly, it was decided to study the effect of acidity on various microbial processes. A Riverhead sandy loam soil collected from an oak-pine forest with a pH of 4.6… more

Development program on pressurized fluidized-bed combustion. Annual report, July 1, 1974--June 30, 1975

Description: The feasibility of using fluidized-bed combustors in power and steam plants is being evaluated. The concept involves burning fuels such as coal in a fluidized bed of either a naturally occurring, calcium-containing limestone or dolomite or in a synthetically prepared calcium-containing stone. The calcium oxide in the stone reacts with the sulfur released during combustion to form calcium sulfate, which remains in the bed, thus decreasing the level of SO/sub 2/ in the flue gas. Levels of NO/sub … more
