Preliminary evaluation of fluid chemistry in the East Mesa KGRA

Description: One of the major problems needing consideration when bringing a geothermal field into production is the anticipation and control of mineral precipitation in both the producing formations and production equipment. Prediction of the chemical interactions between natural multicomponent thermal fluids and the minerals comprising a producing formation can be accomplished by the study of equilibrium models approximating the natural system. Models are constructed from theoretically and experimentally … more

Studies of the dissolution of geothermal scale

Description: Samples of geothermal scale formed from Magmamax No. 1 and Woolsey No. 1 wells in the Imperial Valley, Calif., were exposed to concentrated and dilute solutions of common laboratory reagents. The time of exposure and temperature of the reagent were also varied. Several reagents easily dissolved significant amounts of the scale. An in situ test was performed with marginal success.

Buffon needle method of track counting

Description: A new technique of quantitative track counting, the Buffon needle method, is advanced. It is based on random sampling of the solid state track recorder (SSTR) surface. This new method extends quantitative track scanning to track densities well up into the track pile-up regime. It is shown that the Buffon needle method possesses a reduced dependence upon both track density nonuniformity and track size distribution. Sources of experimental error arising in the Buffon needle method are assessed. T… more

The use of aluminum sulfate for 100 Areas' process water coagulation

Description: Increases in power levels of the Hanford Piles have resulted in increased demands for process cooling water to the extent that the present filter plants are now operating at or above their design capacity. Further power level increases requiring even more cooling water may demand the operation of the filters considerably above design capacity. It has been proposed that by the use of aluminum sulfate, or filter alum, as a process water coagulant and activated silica as a coagulation aid, the pre… more

(Critical topics of plasma facing materials/plasma facing component data for the next step fusion devices)

Description: The Unites States-Japan Workshop P-165 brought together approximately 60 scientists and engineers to discuss critical topics of plasma facing materials and components for the next-step fusion device. In addition to the United States and Japanese participants, there were several guest attendees from Europe. The international makeup of the participants greatly enhanced the success of the workshop. The author jointly chaired a workshop session entitled Impact of Neutron Effects to Plasma Facing Ma… more

Soft x-ray detection with diamond photoconductive detectors

Description: Photoconductive detectors fabricated from natural lla diamonds have been used to measure the x-ray power emitted from laser produced plasmas. The detector was operated without any absorbing filters to distort the x-ray power measurement. The 5.5 eV bandgap of the detector material practically eliminates its sensitivity to scattered laser radiation thus permitting filterless operation. The detector response time or carrier life time was 90 ps. Excellent agreement was achieved between a diamond P… more

DT fusion neutron irradiation of LLL Nb--1 Zr tensile specimens, BNL-LASL superconductor wires, BPNL wire-foil packet, ORNL magnesium oxide crystals, LASL spinel, YAG, Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and MgO, and LLL LiF and glass microscope cover slides

Description: The DT fusion neutron irradiation of eight LLL Nb-1Zr tensile specimens, eleven BNL-LASL superconductor wires, one BPNL wire-foil packet, two ORNL magnesium oxide crystals, four LASL high purity single crystals, one each of spinel, YAG, Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and MgO, one LLL bicrystal of LiF and several LLL glass microscope cover slides is described. The sample position, beam-on time and dose record are given. The maximum neutron fluence on any sample was 2.51 x 10/sup 17/ neutrons/cm/sup 2/.

Continuing Studies on Direct Aqueous Mineral Carbonation of CO{sub 2} Sequestration

Description: Direct aqueous mineral carbonation has been investigated as a process to convert gaseous CO{sub 2} into a geologically stable, solid final form. The process utilizes a solution of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO{sub 3}), sodium chloride (NaCl), and water, mixed with a mineral reactant, such as olivine (Mg{sub 2}SiO{sub 4}) or serpentine [Mg{sub 3}Si{sub 2}O{sub 5}(OH){sub 4}]. Carbon dioxide is dissolved into this slurry, by diffusion through the surface and gas dispersion within the aqueous phase. T… more

Investigation of mineral transformations and ash deposition during staged combustion. Quarterly technical progress report, January 1, 1995--March 31, 1995

Description: Progress during the sixth quarter of a three-year study was made in two task areas: (1) parametric testing of the target coals, and (2) analysis of samples from the combustion tests. A new microanalysis system was acquired (no cost to DOE) and is now functional, although development of analysis routines for the system is still in progress. This system has significantly increased our analytical throughput and has provided increased reliability. Parametric testing of the Pittsburgh No. 8 coal (we… more
