A shock tube study of the reactions of the hydroxyl radical with combustion species

Description: The reactions of OH radicals with hydrocarbons have received a great deal of attention in recent years because of these processes are principal steps in the oxidation of organic fuels -- whether occurring in combustion/propulsion systems, in the atmosphere, or elsewhere. Of the various radicals capable of attacking hydrocarbons, OH radicals are generally the most reactive, and their reactions directly yield water molecules, one of the major final oxidation products. In the atmosphere, the combi… more

EG G sampling program results FY 1989

Description: Thirty-three waste drums were returned to Rocky Flats in support of EG G Idaho's quality control program for the Stored Waste Examination Pilot Plant. The drums were opened and examined in the size reduction facility at the Rocky Flats Plant. Contents of each drum were consistent with the Item Description Codes; however, four sludge drums and one combustible drum contained free liquids. These five drums failed to meet the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and the Department of Transporation criteria.… more

Molten-caustic-leaching system integration project

Description: The overall strategy for this project is to allow for the earliest startup with a minimum of up front costs attributed to plant modifications. The plan is to implement only those modifications that are required in order that the plant can be operated in an integrated continuous manner and defer other modifications that will improve plant operation until needed. The necessary modifications are those affecting the operation of the vacuum filters and the evaporator that are critical to integrated … more

Applications of Micellar Enzymology to Clean Coal Technology

Description: This project is designed to develop methods for precombustion coal remediation by implementing recent advances in enzyme biochemistry. The novel approach of this study is incorporation of hydrophilic oxidative enzymes in reverse micelles in an organic solvent. Enzymes from commercial sources or microbial extracts are being investigated for their capacity to remove organic sulfur from coal by oxidation of the sulfur groups, splitting of C-S bonds and loss of sulfur as sulfuric acid (Figure 1).

Argon Storage Dewar Initial Fill

Description: The argon storage dewar at the D0 Assembly Hall was filled with approximately 3100 gallons of high purity liquid argon for the first time on December 3,1990. The oxygen analyzer and high voltage test cell both indicated an oxygen impurity level between 0.4 and 0.5 ppm which is acceptable. The condenser and insulated piping sizing appears to be correct for a fill rate of a couple of hours. Insulation is required around the inlet to this piping in order to reduce the amount of filling time signif… more

Design, synthesis, and characterization of novel fine-particle, unsupported catalysts for coal liquefaction

Description: Initial synthesis work has focused on preparation of fine-particle iron-based compounds using an Fe(CO){sub 5} precursor. Fe(CO){sub 5} was chosen because of the liability of the carbonyl ligands with respect to substitution under either moderate thermal or photochemical reaction conditions. Six synthesis attempts have been carried out with Fe(CO){sub 5} using CS{sub 2} as the sulfur source; they are outlined here.
