Late wash cross-flow filter organic balance

Description: A recent DOE-Savannah River review of the results and data from the Late Washing Crossflow Fitter assessment identified the fate of biphenyl as a concern in the Late Washing material balance. The concern arose because after the late washing operation only about 40% of the biphenyl remained in the irradiated precipitate and analyses of the spent wash water stream did not account for the missing biphenyl [2]. This document summarizes the results of subsequent filtration studies on the behavior an… more

Protection of Graphite by Impregnation. Quarterly Progress Report No. 3 for September 1-November 30, 1960. Vitro Job 2195

Description: The hypothesis that sample resistivity is the controlling factor in electrokinetic impregnation was substantiated. Experiments show that dense clay- bonded silicon carbide can be impregnated beneath the surface pores whereas only surface pore impregnation is achieved with both dense and porous graphite. The resistivity of the materials differ by a factor of about 1O/sup 10/. Although deep penetration of the substrate by the particles of the coating system is not achieved during deposition, ther… more

Development and Evaluation of Mn oxide-coated Composite Adsorbent for the Removal and Recovery of Heavy Metals From Coal Processing Wastewater. Final Report, December 1995

Description: The overall objective of this research was to evaluate a Mn oxide-coated granular activated carbon (MnGAC) for the removal and recovery of metals from wastewaters. The composite adsorbent was prepared by coating M-n-oxide onto granular activated carbon. Three coating methods (adsorption, precipitation, and dry oxidation) were developed and studied in this research. The adsorbent (MnTOG) prepared by a dry oxidation method had the highest Cu(II) adsorption capacity of the three synthesis methods.… more

On the Influence of Dispersoids on the Particle Stimulated Nucleation of Recrystallization in an Al-Fe-Si Model Alloy

Description: The recrystallization of Al-alloys is controlled by precipitates. Whereas large particles generally promote recrystallization by particle stimulated nucleation, finely dispersed precipitates - either already present in the as-deformed state or precipitating during the recrystallization anneal - are known to strongly retard recrystallization. It was the aim of the present study to elucidate these concurring effects of large particles and small dispersoids on recrystallization in a ternary Al-Fe-… more

Interstitial-Phase Precipitation in Iron-Base Alloys: A Comparative Study

Description: Recent developments have elucidated the atomistic mechanisms of precipitation of interstitial elements in simple alloy systems. However, in the more technologically important iron base alloys, interstitial phase precipitation is generally not well understood. The present experimental study was therefore designed to test the applicability of these concepts to more complex ferrous alloys. Hence, a comparative study was made of interstitial phase precipitation in ferritic Fe-Si-C and in austenitic… more

RETADD-II: a long-range atmospheric trajectory model with consistent treatment of deposition loss and species growth and decay

Description: A versatile model is described which estimates long-range atmospheric dispersion based on plume trajectories. This model allows the treatment of the dispersal from a source at an arbitrary height while taking account of plume depletion by dry and wet deposition together with the decay of material to successor species. The plume depletion, decay and growth equations are solved in an efficient manner which can accommodate up to eight pollutants (i.e., a parent and seven serial decay products). Th… more
