Effect of fluoride, chloride, bromide, and thiocynate on potentiometric titrations of iron(II)-tin(II) mixtures with cerium(IV)

Description: A two-step curve is expected in the potentiometric titration of Fe(II)-Sn(II) mixtures with Ce(IV) in H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/. Each end point should indicate the respective oxidation of Sn(II) and Fe(II). However, experimentally only one end point was found; it corresponded to the total oxidation of Sn(II) and Fe(II). When this oxidation-reduction reaction was carried out in the presence of Cl/sup -/, the theoretical behavior was observed. The present study was done to ascertain if monovalent anions … more

Evaluation of selected chemical processes for production of low-cost silicon (Phase III). Silicon material task Low-Cost Solar Array Project. Nineteenth quarterly progress report, April 1-June 30, 1980

Description: Early in this report period, the PDU was operated for a short time (one-half hour) before downstream constrictions prompted termination. The problem was traced to malfunction of the wetted-wall by-product condenser owing to the zinc chloride having a higher-than-anticipated viscosity near its melting point. Since then, a number of problems, minor in origin but major in effect, have hampered operation of the PDU. Steps are being taken to correct these deficiencies of design or mode of operation … more

Moisture content of PuO/sub 2/ fuel used for the milliwatt generator heat source

Description: The determination of the moisture content of /sup 238/Pu dioxide fuel for use in Milliwatt Generator heat sources was studied in an attempt to more clearly define the production fuel preloading procedures. The study indicated that water was not present or being adsorbed at various steps of the process (or during storage) that could lead to compatibility problems during pretreatment or long-term storage. The moisture content of the plutonium dioxide was analyzed by a commercial moisture analyzer… more
