Addressing data heterogeneity: Lessons learned from a multimedia risk assessment

Description: Cleanup activities are currently being conducted by the US Department of Energy (DOE) at a former chemical plant site that has been inactive for more than 20 years. The Army produced nitroaromatic explosives at the 220-acre site during the 1940s, and radioactive materials of the uranium and thorium series were processed there by DOE's predecessor agency during the 1950s and 1960s. Chemical and radioactive contaminants are present in soil, surface water, sediment, and groundwater at the site as … more

Adducts in Sperm Protamine and DNA (Deoxyribonuclease) vs. Mutation Frequency

Description: In mammals, variability in the genetic sensitivity of different germ-cell stages to mutagens could be the result of how much chemical reaches the different stages, what molecular targets may be affected in the different stages and whether or not repair of lesions occurs. In the mouse, several mutagens have been found that cause their greatest genetic damage in late-spermatid and early-spermatozoa stages and that also bind very strongly to the protamine in these stages. Chemicals which are less … more

Adenosine triphosphate concentration in relation to microbial biomass in aquatic systems

Description: Analyses of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) extracted from a sediment community by the sulfuric acid method are complicated by inhibitions from inorganic and organic compounds. Inhibitions by inorganic compounds are reversible while those by organic compounds are irreversible. The primary inhibition by organic compounds results by complexing with acid-soluble fulvic acids which will prevent the detection of as much as 80% of the ATP present in a sample by the luciferin-luciferase reaction. Analyti… more

Adiabatic elastic moduli of single crystal pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN)

Description: The adiabatic elastic moduli for tetragonal single crystal PETN were measured using the phase comparison technique of McSkimin with minor variations. Measurements on four different crystal orientations yielded twelve wave velocities from which the six moduli were calculated. The self-consistency cross-checks on c/sub 11/, c/sub 12/, and c/sub 44/ were excellent while the cross-checks on c/sub 33/, c/sub 66/, and c/sub 13/ were not. The only modulus with appreciable error was c/sub 13/ which was… more

(Adsorption and diffusion of fluids in well-characterized adsorbent materials)

Description: This grant covers theoretical and molecular simulation studies in two areas: the thermodynamic behavior of associating liquids and their mixtures in the bulk phase, and the behavior of fluids in narrow pores. Fluids of longer chains are being simulated to test the perturbation theory. The Helmholtz free energy equation with the first order theory for association was applied to a wide variety of pure and mixed fluids; good agreement with experiment was found. In the second area, the nonlocal for… more

The Adsorption and Reactions of Halogenated Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) on Metal Oxides - Final Report

Description: The purpose of this research was to provide a fundamental understanding of the adsorption and catalytic reactions of CCl{sub 4} on metal oxide surfaces with a view to developing strategies for its remediation. The scientific knowledge generated by this project should enable environmental engineers to evaluate the potential of destructive adsorption of CCl{sub 4} and the catalytic reaction of CCl{sub 4} with H{sub 2}O as an alternative for the remediation of carbon tetrachloride. Emphasis was pl… more

Adsorption characteristics of PCBs to resins, whole cells, cell and tissue components, and biomolecules

Description: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been designated hazardous chemicals by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Although PCBs and PCB-containing oils have not been in use since 1977, they persist in the environment. They are known to be absorbed by various aquatic organisms, birds, and mammals. The nature of these affinities is not known. In this study, the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT) compared the adsorption phenomenon of PCBs on commercial resins, whole bacterial cells, cell a… more

Adsorption of aniline and toluidines on montmorillonite: Implications for the disposal of shale oil production wastes

Description: Bentonite clay liners are commonly employed to mitigate the movement of contaminants from waste disposal sites. Solid and liquid waste materials that arise from the production of shale oil contain a vast array of organic compounds. Common among these compounds are the aromatic amines. in order to assess the ability of clay liner material to restrict organic compound mobility, the adsorption of aniline and o-, m-, and p-toluidine on Ca[sup 2+] - and K[sup +]-saturated Wyoming bentonite was inves… more

Adsorption of organic molecules at the mercury-solution interface: effect of anion specific adsorption on double layer properties. [Benzyl alcohol]

Description: Adsorption of iso-pentanol, pentanoic acid, and benzyl alcohol at the mercury-solution interface was studied in HC1O/sub 4/, H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/, NaNO/sub 3/, and NaF electrolytes. The Frumkin isotherm equation Ba = (theta/(1-theta))exp(2..cap alpha..theta) together with the implied charge vs. surface excess relation: q = (1-theta)q/sub w/ + thetaQ were used to analyze the experimental data. Linear charge vs surface excess plots were obtained for the aliphatic compounds over the entire potential … more

Adsorptive behavior of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in coal-conversion wastewaters. Six months progress report

Description: A coupled column system was designed and assembled for use in solubility and adsorption testing. This system consists of a saturated solution generation column and an adsorption column. The generation column has been employed successfully to determine the solubility behavior of naphthalene; for nine determinations at 25 /sup 0/C the aqueous solubility is 32.9 +- 1.2 milligrams per liter. However, adsorption isotherm data obtained from the coupled column system involved techniques which are limi… more

Advanced Conceptual Models for Unsaturated and Two-Phase Flow in Fractured Rock

Description: The Department of Energy Environmental Management Program is faced with two major issues involving two-phase flow in fractured rock; specifically, transport of dissolved contaminants in the Vadose Zone, and the fate of Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPLs) below the water table. Conceptual models currently used to address these problems do not correctly include the influence of the fractures, thus leading to erroneous predictions. Recent work has shown that it is crucial to understand the top… more

Advanced development of fine coal desulfurization and recovery technology. Annual technical progress report, October 1 1976--September 1977. [54 references]

Description: Work has been carried out to develop and improve several promising methods for desulfurizing and recovering fine-size coal. These methods included froth flotation, selective oil agglomeration, pelletization, and a chemical desulfurization process which involves leaching fine coal with a hot dilute solution of sodium carbonate containing dissolved oxygen or air under pressure. This process is an oxydesulfurization process which utilizes an alkaline solution instead of an acidic solution for leac… more
