EXPERIMENTAL PROBLEMS IN THE USE OF A POLARIZED PROTONTARGET

Description: I have understood my assignment as a review of some of the work done in high-energy physics with polarized proton targets and a description of some of the special problems connected with polarized targets. Most of my report will be based on the polarized target that I am most familiar with--that constructed by Jeffries, Schultz, Shapiro, and myself. This target is no longer unique; in fact, it is now somewhat old-fashioned in some respects. Other polarized proton targets are in operation at CER… more

Use of extractive distillation to produce concentrated nitric acid

Description: Concentrated nitric acid (> 95 wt %) is needed for the treatment of off-gases from a fuels-reprocessing plant. The production of concentrated nitric acid by means of extractive distillation in the two-pot apparatus was studied to determine the steady-state behavior of the system. Four parameters, EDP volume (V/sub EDP/) and temperature (T/sub EDP/), acid feed rate, and solvent recycle, were independently varied. The major response factors were percent recovery (CPRR) and product purity (CCP). S… more

A solubility model for amorphous silica in concentrated electrolytes

Description: Silica is one of the major constituents of the earth`s crust and is ubiquitously present in most natural materials. The solubility of silica and other silica-containing compounds is, therefore, of primary concern in geochemistry and in chemical processing applications where silica scale formation, resulting from changes in temperature and electrolyte composition, can cause problems in process design and operation. This paper describes the development of an aqueous thermodynamic model for accura… more

Phase Behavior of Aqueous Na-K-Mg-Ca-CI-NO3 Mixtures: Isopiestic Measurements and Thermodynamic Modeling

Description: A comprehensive model has been established for calculating thermodynamic properties of multicomponent aqueous systems containing the Na{sup +}, K{sup +}, Mg{sup 2+}, Ca{sup 2+}, Cl{sup -}, and NO{sub 3}{sup -} ions. The thermodynamic framework is based on a previously developed model for mixed-solvent electrolyte solutions. The framework has been designed to reproduce the properties of salt solutions at temperatures ranging from the freezing point to 300 C and concentrations ranging from infini… more

Use of precalciners to remove alkali from raw materials in the cement industry. Quarterly technical progress report, November 1979-January 1980

Description: Experiments using the sulfate fusion technique have continued. High degrees of alkali removal have been achieved using CaSO/sub 4/ admixtures with added CaCl/sub 2/ and Mg(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/. The presence of Mg/sup 2 +/ or Cl/sup -/ in the mixtures did not affect the phase separation significantly. There was considerable evidence for preferential migration of K/sup +/ into the sulfate phase, relative to Na/sup +/. A new technique, the powder drop method, was used to attempt to more closely simul… more

Using Aspen simulation package to determine solubility of mixed salts in TRU waste evaporator bottoms

Description: Nitric acid from plutonium process waste is a candidate for waste minimization by recycling. Process simulation software packages, such as Aspen, are valuable tools to estimate how effective recovery processes can be, however, constants in equations of state for many ionic components are not in their data libraries. One option is to combine single salt solubility`s in the Aspen model for mixed salt system. Single salt solubilities were regressed in Aspen within 0.82 weight percent of literature… more

In-situ temperature calibration below 1 K using the {mu}{sup +} Knight shift in CMN

Description: The authors present {mu}{sup +} paramagnetic shift measurements between 12 K and about 65 mK in cerium magnesium nitrate (CMN) to investigate its utility as an in-situ temperature calibration source for low temperature {mu}SR experiments. CMN is a salt which exhibits Curie-law susceptibility to temperatures as low as 5 mK. The {mu}{sup +} Knight shift is measured to be (1.46 {+-} 0.03) {times} 10{sup {minus}3}/T + (0.004 {+-} 0.02) {times} 10{sup {minus}3}, corresponding to a transferred hyperf… more

Vapor-liquid equilibrium of the Mg(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/-HNO/sub 3/-H/sub 2/O system

Description: The vapor-liquid equilibrium of the Mg(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/-HNO/sub 3/-H/sub 2/O system in concentrations of 0 to 70 wt % Mg(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/ and 0 to 75 wt % HNO/sub 3/ at atmospheric pressure was correlated by two approaches. One was based on a dissociation equilibrium expression in which the activities of the reacting species (HNO/sub 3/, NO/sub 3//sup -/, and H/sup +/) were approximated with mole fractions. The activity coefficients of the undissociated HNO/sub 3/ and H/sub 2/O were correlate… more
