Physical and chemical characterization and comparison of solids, liquids, and oils derived from Estonian and Green River formation shales

Description: Although only a single Estonian raw shale sample with an unknown history has been examined, physical and chemical characterization of this material has been accomplished. A comparison with a representative Green River formation raw shale has been made. Some of the findings are: (1) Elemental analysis indicates that the major elements, aluminum, magnesium, and sodium are deficient in Estonian shale compared to the Green River shale. The minor elements, barium and strontium, and the trace element… more

Emergency Doses (ED) - Revision 3: A Calculator Code for Environmental Dose Computations

Description: The calculator program ED (Emergency Doses) was developed from several HP-41CV calculator programs documented in the report Seven Health Physics Calculator Programs for the HP-41CV, RHO-HS-ST-5P (Rittman 1984). The program was developed to enable estimates of offsite impacts more rapidly and reliably than was possible with the software available for emergency response at that time. The ED - Revision 3, documented in this report, revises the inhalation dose model to match that of ICRP 30, and ad… more

Characteristics of American coals in relation to their conversion into clean energy fuels. Quarterly technical progress report, January-March 1978

Description: The Penn State/DOE Coal Sample Bank was expanded to include seventeen lignite seams from Texas and two samples of a western Kentucky coal. A total of 253 characterized coal samples and 539 selected printouts of coal data were provided to the coal research community. Results of further coal fractionation studies confirm previous conclusions that fractions of widely differing characteristics can be developed in the laboratory, and indicate that with appropriate process development they could be p… more

Corrosion response of downhole steam generator assembly and instrumentation and supply line tubings at Long Beach field test

Description: Three families of metals were used to make the non-combustor components for Sandia's downhole steam generator assembly and supply and instrumentation lines. These three families were: first, plain carbon steel (API Grade J 55); second, austenitic stainless steels (316 and 310); and third, a nickel-base superalloy (Inconel 600). The metals in all three of these families were found to be deficient in their corrosion response. J 55 exhibited minimal to severe general corrosion (rusting). The auste… more

SYNROC C: preparation and radwaste distribution

Description: Results of the synthesis of SYNROC C from both high surface area (16m/sup 2//g) and low surface area (4m/sup 2//g) powders at low and high oxygen fugacities indicate variations in radionuclide distribution. These results are most striking for the partitioning of uranium between perovskite and zirconolite. In highly active powders, the formation of a pyrochlore precursor ensures that equilibrium partitioning is approached. In less active powders, no low temperature pyrochlore is formed. As a res… more

Double shell slurry low-temperature corrosion tests

Description: A series of year-long tests have been completed on potential double shell slurry (DSS) compositions at temperatures up to 100/sup 0/C. These tests have sought data on uniform corrosion, pitting, and stress-corrosion cracking. No indication of the latter two types of corrosion were observed within the test matrix. Corrosion rates after four months were generally below the 1 mpy (25 ..mu..m/y) design limit. By the end of twelve months all results were below this limit and, except for very concent… more

Improved water management of coal conversion processes by preliminary absorption of halides

Description: For coal conversion processes that employ wet cleaning of gases, such as those supplying cooled gas to storage or to distribution systems, gas condensates are produced that contain various pollutants. Condensates from gases derived from coal may contain gas borne particulates, tars, oils or water solubles such as ammonia, chlorides, cyanides, fluorides, phenols and sulfides. The upgrading of contaminated gas condensates to service water quality by treatment oriented technology can entail a comp… more

Elastic and plastic strains and the stress corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steels. Final report

Description: The influence of elastic (stress) and plastic (cold work) strains on the stress corrosion cracking of a transformable austenitic stainless steel was studied in several aqueous chloride environments. Initial polarization behavior was active for all deformation conditions as well as for the annealed state. Visual observation, potential-time, and current-time curves indicated the development of a pseudo-passive (flawed) film leading to localized corrosion, occluded cells and SCC. SCC did not initi… more

Petrographic, mineralogical, and chemical characterization of certain Alaskan coals and washability products. Final report, July 11, 1978-October 11, 1980

Description: Petrological, mineralogical and chemical characterization provides basic information needed for proper utilization of coals. Since many of these coals are likely to be beneficiated to reduce ash, the influence of coal washing on the characteristics of the washed product is important. Twenty samples of Alaskan coal seams were used for this study. The coals studied ranged in rank from lignite to high volatile A bituminous with vitrinite/ulminite reflectance ranging from 0.25 to 1.04. Fifteen raw … more

Immobilization of Savannah River high-level wastes in SYNROC: results from performance tests

Description: Large samples (up to 15cm diameter) of SYNROC D containing simulated Savannah River (SRL) waste sludge have been prepared and performance tested. Waste loadings of 60 to 65 wt% for the SRL composite sludge have been achieved; this corresponds to a waste concentration (volumetric) loading of approximately 2.3 to 2.5 g/cm/sup 3/. A typical SYNROC D sample has a density of about 4.0 g/cm/sup 3/ with less than 0.2% porosity. The compressive and flexural strengths of SYNROC D are 51,200 and 9400 psi… more

Input-output analysis of various elements of an energy-agro-waste complex

Description: The mass input and output streams of various agricultural and waste treatment processes were quantified and models developed to serve in the engineering analysis of potential waste heat utilization schemes. The unit process models can be integrated into energy-agro-waste complexes, in which waste heat from power plants is used by certain processes and the wastes of some processes are used as inputs to others. The models provide a means of determining the sizing or subsystems, the compatibility … more
