Oxidation/gasification of carbon residue on retorted oil shale. Final report

Description: Studies of the oxidation and gasification of oil shale char were extended to an investigation of the effects of mineral catalysis. Six shales with differing mineral compositions were studied, including samples from the saline zone in the Western Colorado and from the Antrim shales of Michigan. Oxidation kinetics data, corrected for mass transfer effects, were compared for all six samples. A high assay shale from Utah and a sample from the saline zone were found to have the highest oxidation rat… more

Laser-assisted solar cell metallization processing. Quarterly report, September 13-December 12, 1983

Description: The Westinghouse Electric Corporation has undertaken to investigate, develop, and characterize laser-assisted processing techniques utilized to produce the fine line, thin metal grid structures that are required to fabricate high-efficiency solar cells. Two basic techniques for metal deposition will be investigated, as follows: (1) photochemical decomposition of liquid or gas phase organometallic compounds utilizing either a focused, CW ultraviolet laser (System 1) or a mask and ultraviolet flo… more

Separation and Characterization of Coal Derived Components. Quarterly Report, 1 October 1983-31 December 1983

Description: No new field-ionization data was obtained this quarter. For preasphaltenes, elemental analysis data was obtained on Kentucky and Wyodak preasphaltene samples. In conjunction with the preasphaltene work, solubility and thin-layer chromatography experiments were performed. The results indicated that basic alumina would not be useful as a general stationary phase for the separation of preasphaltenes. Several experiments were carried out with Chromasorb T, and the results showed it would be an adeq… more

Fusion materials science at reactor 14-MeV neutron fluxes: upgrading RTNS targets into the multi-megawatt/m/sup 2/ regime

Description: The Rotating Target Neutron Source-II (RTNS-II) facility is the most intense continuous source of 14-MeV neutrons in the world. It is used to study the effects of fast neutrons on materials, to determine their suitability for use in fusion reactors. In RTNS-II, a water-cooled rotating target coated with titanium tritide is bombarded with deuterons. A small fraction of the incident deuterons fuse with the tritons in the target, producing 14.3-MeV neutrons. At present the neutron flux is substant… more

BNL Neutral Beam Development Group. Progress report, FY 1983 and final report

Description: The BNL Neutral Beam Development Group has been active in the program for the development of high energy, high power neutral beam systems since 1973. These injectors are based on the production, acceleration and neutralization of negative hydrogen or deuterium ions and are supposed to be used for plasma heating and current drive in the next generation of fusion devices. Over the span of 10 years the group has studied plasma-surface type of negative hydrogen ion sources, transport and accelerati… more

MOD silver metallization for photovoltaics. Quarterly technical report, March 1, 1984-May 31, 1984. [Metalloorganic deposition]

Description: It was demonstrated that the nature of the initial solvent used to extract the silver neodecanoate during synthesis or to render it into solution for ink formulation has a profound influence on fired film properties. The lower the boiling point of the initial solvent, the more of it was removed during rotary vacuum evaporation, and the less effect it had on fired film properties. Benzene and tetrahydrofuran were superior to xylene and toluene, and inks which used them in their preparation produ… more
