Slicing of silicon into sheet material. Final report, January 9, 1976-September 30, 1979

Description: Complete results, from raw data to interpretation to recommendations, of a program to investigate the use of multiblade slurry sawing to produce silicon wafers from ingots are presented. During the course of this program, the commercially available state of the art process was improved by 20% in terms of area of silicon wafers produced from an ingot. The process was improved 34% on an experimental basis. Production of 20 wafers per centimeter length of 100 mm diameter ingot is now possible on a… more

Analysis of stirred-tank carbonation reactors. [Removal of /sup 14/CO/sub 2/ by reaction with Ca(OH)/sub 2/]

Description: The removal of CO/sub 2/ from air in a calcium hydroxide slurry-agitated reactor was investigated to aid the design of such vessels. Gas-liquid interfacial areas were calculated using theoretical rate expression and experimental data at specific operating conditions. A correlation for interfacial areas was then determined as a function of impeller speed, impeller diameter, gas flow rate, and concentration of the slurry. Decontamination factors were also determined.

An investigation of the mechanisms of calcination and sulfation in coal-water mixtures

Description: The purpose of this investigation is to study the mechanisms of sulfur capture when burning coal-water-limestone mixtures (CWLM) in fluidized beds. Special care is taken to make comparisons with to dry coal and sorbent under comparable experimental conditions. A series of experiments were performed in an eight-inch diameter bubbling fluidized bed combustor to address this problem. 33 refs., 17 figs., 5 tabs.

PJM Controller Testing with Prototypic PJM Nozzle Configuration

Description: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of River Protection’s Waste Treatment Plant (WTP) is being designed and built to pre-treat and then vitrify a large portion of the wastes in Hanford’s 177 underground waste storage tanks. The WTP consists of three primary facilities—pretreatment, low-activity waste (LAW) vitrification, and high-level waste (HLW) vitrification. The pretreatment facility will receive waste piped from the Hanford tank farms and separate it into a high-volume, low-activity… more

THE USE OF DI WATER TO MITIGATE DUSTING FOR ADDITION OF DWPF FRIT TO THE SLURRY MIX EVAPORATOR

Description: The Defense Waste Processing Facility (DPWF) presently is in the process to determine means to reduce water utilization in the Slurry Mix Evaporator (SME) process, thus reducing effluent and processing times. The frit slurry addition system mixes the dry frit with water, yielding approximately a 50 weight percent slurry containing frit and the other fraction water. This slurry is discharged into the SME and excess water is removed via boiling. To reduce this water load to the SME, DWPF has prop… more

NACA research on slurry fuels through 1954

Description: Report presenting a review of NACA research on slurry fuels through 1954. Slurry fuels are defined as suspensions of metals in hydrocarbons, which may offer more flight range or thrust than can be obtained with conventional hydrocarbons. Magnesium is the primary metal of interest at this time for high thrust and boron for long-range flight.

Life of HRE-3 Core Tanks

Description: ABS>Calculations have been made of the expected life of Zircaloy core tanks in the HRE-3 assuming 5 w/ml power density in the tank, considering possible cooling systems. If the inner surface film coefficient is l000 Btu/hr ft/sup 2/ deg F or better, a thick single-walled tank appears optimum. If the inner surface coefficient is only about 100, cooling of the core tank with either D20 or ThO/sub 2/ slurry appears desirable or even necessary. (auth)

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CALCINING TEMPERATURE AND PARTICLE DENSITY OF THORIA SLURRIES

Description: The variation in rheologlcal behavior and other physical properties of thoria slurries with the calcining temperature of the thoria powder is explained on the basis of the relation between the calcining temperature and the bulk density of the individual thoria particles. Indirect experimental measurements of the bulk particle density by viscosimetry and by measurement of centrifuged- bed denslties agreed wlth each other and fell within the predicted density limlts of 3.7 g/cc and 9.7 g/cc (for … more

Slurry combustion. Volume 1, Text: Final report

Description: The project described in this Report was to investigate the possibility of using sorbent added to coal-water fuel (CWF) mixtures as a means of reducing SOX emissions when burning Ohio coal. The results are significantly encouraging, with SOX concentrations reduced by amounts ranging from 25% to 65%, depending on the sorbent type and the firing conditions, where one major condition identified was the residence time in the flame gases. With the sorbent-loaded slurrys, the trend generally showed i… more

FEASIBILITY STUDY OF A NEW MASS FLOW SYSTEM. Quarterly Report No. 1 Covering the Period from June 1 to September 1, 1960. With this is bound: QUARTERLY REPORT NO. 1 FOR PERIOD FROM JULY 15TO SEPTEMBER 1, 1960

Description: A mass flow measurement technique is described which has the capability of measuring homogeneous flow, slurries, highly corrosive fluids, and multiphase fluids. The device features ruggedness and reliability and has the ability to measure external to the flow. In the proposed system, the fluid is made to pass through a U-shaped tube wherein measurements of the augular momentum and density yield mass flow directly. As the fluid traverses the 180 deg bend, a radial force is generated, which can b… more

SOME EXPERIMENTS ON THE ACCURACY OF THORIA SLURRY SAMPLES

Description: Tests were performed on a thoria slurry flowing in a pipe to determine the magnitude of the possible error involved in the sampling process. Evidence indicates that a correct sample is obtained by withdrawing the sample isokinetically (i.e., by facing the sampler into the flow and adjusting the sampler velocity to match the ambient velocity) provided that the sampler is larger than some minimura diameter that is dependent on the mean eddy length and/ or the mean particle size.

Chemical Technology Division, Unit Operations Section Monthly Progress Report for April 1959

Description: A concentration cell electrode was installed in a fritted glass surface and was used to measure the surface KCl concentration while water was being transpired through the surface into a mixed tank of 0.1 M KCl. The results from the first Fluorox run made with crude UF/sub 4/ showed that 85.3% of the theoretical amount of UF/sub 6/ was accounted for, with 17.9% being collected in cold traps and the remainder being consumed in various side reactions. Installation was completed of apparatus to stu… more
