Control of pyrite surface chemistry in physical coal cleaning

Description: The separation of pyrite from coal by flotation is based on exploiting the wettability difference between coal and pyrite. There is evidence that the wettability of coal pyrite changes upon superficial oxidation. Therefore, the oxidation of coal pyrite has been studied under carefully controlled electrochemical conditions. In order to identify the species responsible for the changes in wettability, the surface products formed during oxidation have been identified by means of various surface ana… more

Basic data report: Canister penetration system with relative humidity and pressure sensors

Description: This work originates from a task assignment. This basic data report is for design and fabrication of a canister penetration system for use in these experiments. The basic system was designed and fabricated as a result of a previous task assignment and three associated task plans. The new system, which will be used on canistered waste forms produced during the DWPF Start up Test Program, will be a modification of the previous systems. Hence the seven items identified in the next paragraph have b… more

Heat exchanger restart evaluation

Description: On December 24, 1991, the K-Reactor was in the shutdown mode with full AC process water flow and full cooling water flow. Safety rod testing was being performed as part of the power ascension testing program. The results of cooling water samples indicated tritium concentrations higher than allowable. Further sampling and testing confirmed a Process Water System to Cooling Water System leak in heat exchanger 4A (HX 4A). The heat exchanger was isolated and the plant shutdown. Heat exchanger 4A wa… more

A new model of coal-water interaction and relevance for dewatering

Description: This project is concerned with a basic scientific question concerning the properties of coal- to what extent is the ability of coal to hold moisture a manifestation of the well-known ability of coal to swell, when exposed to good solvents The question implies that the long-held belief that coal holds a significant portion of its moisture by classical capillary condensation processes, is possibly in error. This seems to be a very real possibility for low rank coals, i.e. lignites. To explore thi… more

A multilayer groundwater sampler for characterizing contaminant plumes

Description: This final report describes activities related to the design and initial demonstration of a passive multilayer groundwater sampling system. The apparatus consists of remotely controlled cylinders filled with deionized water which are connected in tandem. Vertical fine structure of contaminants are easily defined. Using the apparatus in several wells may lead to three dimensional depictions of groundwater contamination, thereby providing the information necessary for site characterization and re… more

Copper solubility in DWPF, Batch 1 waste glass: Update report

Description: The ``Late Washing`` Step in the processing of precipitate will require the use of additional copper formate in the Precipitate Reactor to catalyze the hydrolysis reaction. The increased copper concentration in the melter feed increases the potential for metal precipitation during the vitrification of the melter feed. This report describes recent results with a conservative glass selected from the DWPF acceptable region in the Batch 1 Variability Study.

DWPF saltstone study: Effects of thermal history on leach index and physical integrity. Part 2, Final report: Revision 1

Description: This report summarizes the observations made during the curing and testing of DWPF simulated saltstones which have been cured under isothermal conditions in sealed glass envelopes at temperatures from room temperature to 95{degrees}C. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of curing at and around temperatures representing conditions created within large pours of grout. There appears to be no difference in the leaching resistance of samples cured at the same temperature for varying time… more
