Diosmacycloalkanes as models for the formation of hydrocarbons from surface methylenes. Final report

Description: Assignment of the vibrational modes Of Os{sub 2}(CO){sub 8}(CHCH{sub 3}) and Os(CO){sub 4}(C{sub 2}H{sub 4)} has given fingerprint vibrational spectra for the following species when chemisorbed on metal catalyst surfaces: ethylidene and ethylene bound in a metallacyclopropane mode. The formation and fragmentation of diosmacyclobutanes have been shown to involve slippage of the outgoing olefin onto a single osmium, and associative exchange of the olefin from that site. The incorporation of vinyl… more

An Electromagnetic Finite Difference Time Domain Analog Treatment of Small Signal Acoustic Interactions

Description: Hyperbolic partial differential equations encompass an extremely important set of physical phenomena including electromagnetics and acoustics. Small amplitude acoustic interactions behave much the same as electromagnetic interactions for longitudinal acoustic waves because of the similar nature of the governing hyperbolic equations. Differences appear when transverse acoustic waves are considered, nonetheless the strong analogy between the acoustic and electromagnetic phenomena prompted the dev… more

Results of preliminary reconnaissance trip to determine the presence of wetlands in wet forest habitats on the Island of Hawaii as part of the Hawaii Geothermal Project, October 1993

Description: In October 1993, the authors sampled soils, vegetation, and hydrology at eight sites representing a range of substrates, elevations, soil types, and plant community types within rainforest habitats on the Island of Hawaii. Their purpose was to determine whether any of these habitats were wetlands according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. None of the rainforest habitats they sampled was wetland in its entirety. However, communities established on pahoehoe lava flows c… more

Synthesis of pure RDX

Description: For the bioremediation of explosives, there is the need for RDX uncontaminated by HMX. (In the Bachmann process, RDX always has residual HMX.) There are two methods for synthesizing pure RDX: one involving oxidation of R-salt, the other nitration of hexamine. Absence of HMX in the RDX samples was confirmed by NMR and melting points.

A novel process for methanol synthesis. Final report

Description: The use of methanol (MeOH) as a fuel additive and in MTBE production has renewed interest in the search for improved MeOH processes. Commercial processes are characterized by high pressures and temperatures with low per pass conversion (10--12%). Efforts are underway to find improved MeOH synthesis processes. A slurry phase ``concurrent`` synthesis of MeOH/methyl formate (MeF) which operates under relatively mild conditions (100{degrees}C lower than present commercial processes) was the subject… more

101-SY waste sample speed of sound/rheology testing for sonic probe program

Description: One problem faced in the clean-up operation at Hanford is that a number of radioactive waste storage tanks are experiencing a periodic buildup and release of potentially explosive gases. The best known example is Tank 241-SY-101 (commonly referred to as 101-SY) in which hydrogen gas periodically built up within the waste to the point that increased buoyancy caused a roll-over event, in which the gas was suddenly released in potentially explosive concentrations (if an ignition source were presen… more

Progress at LAMPF, 1992--1993

Description: This Progress Report describes the operation of the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) and the research programs carried out there for the years 1992 and 1993. The accelerator operated for over 100 days in 1992, providing beams of H{sup +}, H{sup {minus}}, and polarized H{sup {minus}} for a rich and varied research program in nuclear physics. The accelerator had only fair beam availability in 1992 (for example, the average H{sup +} beam availability was 72%), caused largely by problems i… more

Study of the effect of the space charge using SYNCH

Description: The interparticle repulsion, or space charge, limits the density of charged-particle beams that can be obtained in storage rings. In this report the authors study the effect of increasing the space charge, with an exact computation of the lattice parameters using SYNCH. Systematically increasing the ion density by decreasing the emittance with cooling techniques lowers the betatron tune, until the lower half-integral stopband resonance -- also induced by the beam -- is reached. In the simple mo… more

Consolidation of Zircaloy-4 End Crops by Induction Melting

Description: The Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant is investigating the use of induction melting as a method of consolidating Zircaloy-4, a zirconium alloy used in the fabrication of submarine nuclear reactor cores. Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) furnished about 4000 lb of typical core material, also known as hardware, for use in evaluating induction melting as a method of consolidation.

High temperature alkali corrosion of ceramics in coal gas. Quarterly progress report No. 10, December 1, 1993--March 1, 1994

Description: Alkali corrosion kinetics of mullite were studied in a constant partial pressure of sodium nitrate. Reaction layer thickness appears to be linearly related to reaction time; linear reaction rate constants are 9 {mu}m/h at 1000{degrees}C and 25 {mu}m/h at 1050{degrees}C. XRD after reaction revealed sodium aluminate and carnegieite, with a suggestion of a solid solution of the sodium aluminate and carnegieite phases. SEM reveals a large number of microcracks in the reaction layer.

Bench scale testing of micronized magnetite beneficiation. Quarterly technical progress report 4, October--December, 1993

Description: This project is aimed at development of a process that, by using ultra fine magnetite suspension, would expand the application of heavy media separation technology to processing fine, {minus}28 mesh coals. These coal fines, produced during coal mining and crushing, are separated in the conventional coal preparation plant and generally impounded in a tailings pond. Development of an economic process for processing these fines into marketable product will expand the utilization of coal for power … more
