A SILICA/FLY ASH-BASED TECHNOLOGY FOR CONTROLLING PYRITE OXIDATION

Description: The results of pyrite oxidation in mining areas are very low pH and elevated concentrations of iron and sulfate in the groundwater. Pyrite oxidation is therefore the main cause for acid mine drainage production. One approach to prevent AMD production is microencapsulation of pyrite crystals with an iron-oxide/silica coating (Zhang and Evangelou, 1998). Coating prevents diffusion of oxygen and Fe{sup 3+} to the crystal's surface and they are no longer able to oxidize it. The objective of this po… more

In Situ Void Fraction and Gas Volume in Hanford Tank 241-SY-101 as Measured with the Void Fraction Instrument

Description: The void fraction instrument (WI) was deployed in Tank 241-SY-101 three times in 1998 to confm and locate the retained gas (void) postulated to be causing the accelerating waste level rise observed since 1995. The design, operation, and data reduction model of the WI are described along with validation testing and potential sources of uncertainty. The test plans, field observations and void measurements are described in detail, including the total gas volume calculations and the gas volume mode… more

System design description PFP thermal stabilization

Description: The purpose of this document is to provide a system design description and design basis for the Plutonium Finishing P1ant (PFP) Thermal Stabilization project. The sources of material for this project are residues scraped from glovebox floors and materials already stored in vault storage that need further stabilizing to meet the 3013 storage requirements. Stabilizing this material will promote long term storage and reduced worker exposure. This document addresses: function design, equipment, and… more

A Kinetic-fluid Model

Description: A nonlinear kinetic-fluid model for high-beta plasmas with multiple ion species which can be applied to multiscale phenomena is presented. The model embeds important kinetic effects due to finite ion Larmor radius (FLR), wave-particle resonances, magnetic particle trapping, etc. in the framework of simple fluid descriptions. When further restricting to low frequency phenomena with frequencies less than the ion cyclotron frequency the kinetic-fluid model takes a simpler form in which the fluid e… more
