Magnet R&D for future colliders

Description: High-energy colliders complementing and expanding the physics reach of LHC are presently under study in the United States, Europe and Japan. The magnet system is a major cost driver for hadron colliders at the energy frontier, and critical to the successful operation of muon colliders. Under most scenarios, magnet design as well as vacuum and cryogenic systems are complicated by high radiation loads. Magnet R&D programs are underway worldwide to take advantage of new developments in superco… more

Microbially Mediated Immobilization of Contaminants Through In Situ Biostimulation: Scale up of EMSP Project 55267

Description: The overall goal of the proposed research is to provide an improved understanding and predictive capability of the mechanisms that allow metal-reducing bacteria to be effective in the bioremediation of redox sensitive toxic metals and radionuclides. The study is motivated by the likelihood that subsurface metal-reducing bacteria can be stimulated to effectively alter the redox state of contaminants so that they are immobilized in situ for long time periods. The work described in this proposal w… more

New insights in third phase formation in the U(VI)-HNO{sub 3}, TBP-alkane system.

Description: In this work, the system U(VI)-HNO{sub 3}-tributylphosphate (TBP)-n-dodecane has been revisited with the objective of gaining coordination chemistry and structural information on the species that are formed in the organic phase before and after third phase formation. Chemical analyses, spectroscopic and EXAFS data indicate that U(VI) is extracted as the UO{sub 2}(NO{sub 3}){sub 2} {center_dot} 2TBP adduct, while the third phase species has the composition UO{sub 2}(NO{sub 3}){sub 2} {center_dot… more

Supramolecular Chemistry of Selective Anion Recognition for Anions of Environmental Relevance

Description: This project involves the design and synthesis of receptors for oxoanions of environmental importance and specifically those found in high level waste tanks. Polyammonium macrocycles as receptors and nitrate as anion were the focus of the first phase of this project. A second phase involved the synthesis of lipophilic amide-based receptors in order to increase the potential for obtaining workable receptors for both separations and sensing applications on site. A three tier approach was employed… more
