Micelle-derived catalysts for extended Schulz-Flory

Description: Our objective is to develop a catalyst for making gasoline or diesel range fuel selectively from synthesis gas. Our catalyst development approach is to provide a cut-off for the higher end of the hydrocarbon distribution by limiting the size of the active metal particle. We are using a micelle technique for preparing specific size ruthenium particles supported on [gamma]-alumina. Hydrocarbon cut-off was not observed with 40--60 [Angstrom] ruthenium particles on [gamma]-alumina. We could not det… more

Research and development of new ultraphosphate laser glasses

Description: Requirements for Zeus laser glass and HAP laser glass were small {sigma}, low water, low concentration quenching and high mechanical and thermal strength in the former and high {sigma}, low water, low concentration quenching and high mechanical, thermal shock resistance in the later. In order to get a high mechanical and thermal shock resistance, we introduced SiO{sub 2} into phosphate glass, because SiO{sub 2} gives a low expansion coefficient. In this report, we discuss the research and devel… more

An Electroweak Enigma: Hyperon Radiative Decays

Description: The main thrust of this experiment will be to measure the asymmetry parameter for the electroweak decay {Sigma}{sup +} {yields} p{gamma} and verify its branching ratio. As a secondary goal they will measure, or set new upper limits for, the branching ratio of the electroweak decay {Xi}{sup -} {yields} {Sigma}{sup -}{gamma}. Since the {Xi}{sup -} are expected to be polarized, information on the asymmetry parameter may also be available.

Micelle-derived catalysts for extended Schulz-Flory. Technical progress report, January 1, 1985--March 31, 1985

Description: The reduced C-73-1-101 iron catalyst was retested in Run 10, under the third set of reference conditions: 208{degree}C, 500 psig, 0.9 (molar) H{sub 2}/CO feed ratio, {approximately} 35% initial CO conversion. The analysis of the products collected during the entire 252-hour run, including the wax recovered from the catalyst, resulted in {alpha} = 0.78 for carbon numbers 1 to 15 and {alpha} = 0.88 for carbon numbers 16 to 45. The results of Run 10 are satisfactory and will be used in the future … more

Micelle-derived catalysts for extended Schulz-Flory. Technical progress report, April 1, 1985--June 30, 1985

Description: A micelle procedure was established for preparing, in 30 g quantity, catalysts with ruthenium crystallites of specific size. A catalysts (4956-76) prepared by the micelle procedure and having 40--60 {Angstrom} ruthenium crystallites, according to the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) analysis, was tested in the Fischer-Tropsch fixed-bed pilot plant and showed significantly improved stability over catalysts for which the micelle technique has not been successfully applied.

Maximally Concentrating Optics for Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conversion. Technical Progress Report, [July 1, 1984--January 31, 1985]

Description: Use of a two-stage concentrator with a fresnel lens primary and a nonimaging dielectric totally internally reflecting secondary, has unique advantages for photovoltaic concentration. Some preliminary ray trace studies have shown that with planar lenses, an increase in angular acceptance for a given geometric concentration to about 2/3 of the maximum theoretical limit can be achieved. To demonstrate this, two preprototype concentrators, each having a geometric concentration of 248:1 for a 0.635c… more

Cs-137 concentrations in Steel Creek in 1984. Revision 1

Description: Measurement of Cs-137 concentrations in Steel Creek, 1984, have shown that L Reactor flow tests have not changed the Cs-137 concentrations and the initial phases of L Pond dam construction have only caused a slight increase in Cs-137 concentrations. The Cs-137 concentrations in 1984 were about 1 to 2 percent of the EPA drinking water concentration guide of 200 pCi/L. The concentration in Steel Creek is essentially the same as in 1980, before any major L Reactor refurbishing. The data obtained i… more
