Aerial oxidation of tetraethyl silicate and effect on ammonia catalyzed hydrolysis

Description: Colloidal suspensions of Si0{sub 2} in ethanol prepared by the ammonia catalyzed hydrolysis of tetraethyl silicate (TEOS) in ethanol have been routinely used for over 10 years to prepare antireflective (AR) coatings on the fused silica transmissive optical components of high power fusion lasers. Very high purity coatings are required to avoid laser damage and these are obtained when the TEOS is fractionally distilled under N{sub 2} prior to use. Recently we found that products from aerial oxida… more

Characterization of third-harmonic target plane irradiance on the National Ignition Facility Beamlet demonstration project

Description: The Beamlet laser is a single-aperture prototype for the National Ignition Facility (NIF). We have recently installed and activated a 55 m{sup 3} vacuum vessel and associated diagnostic package at the output of the Beamlet that we are using to characterize target plane irradiance at high power. Measurements obtained both with and without a kinoform diffractive optic are reported. Dependences on critical laser parameters including output power, spatial filtering, and wavefront correction are dis… more

Coal Conversion Wastewater Treatment by Catalytic Oxidation in Supercritical Water

Description: In previous reports, we showed that CARULITE 150 from Carus Chemical Company was so effective with oxidation of phenol in supercritical water (SCW) that the results we obtained were likely influenced by internal mass-transfer resistance. We also reported that oxidation of phenol over MnO{sub 2} powder in SCW improved the conversions of both phenol and total organic carbon (TOC) relative to non-catalytic oxidation while the catalytic oxidation kinetics was free from mass-transfer limitation. In … more

Comparison of impurities and time-dependent behavior for the ITER divertor

Description: This a the second part-of an ongoing project to model the divertor plasma for ITER. The UEDGE 2-D edge transport code is used to study the effect of impurities and tilted divertor plates to make a radiative divertor that can prevent excessive heat loads and adequately pump helium produced by fusion reactions in the core. The impurities are modeled using individual charge states with the local concentrations being determined by transport or as a fixed fraction of the hydrogenic ion density. For … more

Evaluation of 1024 channel VUV-photo-diodes for soft x-ray diagnostic applications

Description: We tested the operation of 1024 channel diode arrays (Model AXUV-1024, from IRD, Inc.) in subdued room light to establish that they worked and to determine the direction and speed of the scan of the 1024 channels. Further tests were performed in vacuum in the HAP, High-Average-Power Facility. There we found that the bare or glass covered diodes detected primarily visible light as expected, but diodes filtered by aluminized parylene, produced a signal consistent with soft x-rays. It is probable … more

Evaluation of natural attenuation processes for trichloroethylene and technetium-99 in the Northeast and Northwest plumes at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Paducah, Kentucky

Description: NA processes such as biodegradation, sorption, dilution dispersion, advection, and possibly sorption and diffusion are occurring in the Northeast and Northwest plumes. However, the overall biological attenuation rate for TCE within the plumes is not sufficiently rapid to utilize as remedial option. The mobility and toxicity of {sup 99}Tc is not being reduced by attenuating processes within the Northwest Plume. The current EPA position is that NA is not a viable remedial approach unless destruct… more
