Denitrification of nitrate waste solutions (open access)

Denitrification of nitrate waste solutions

Growth rates for the denitrifying bacteria Pseudomonas Stutzeri were studied to minimize the time necessary to start up a bacterial denitrification reactor. Batch experiments were performed in nine 250-ml Erlenmeyer flasks, a 7-liter fermentor, and a 67-liter fermentor. All reactors maintained an anaerobic environment. Initial microorganism inoculum concentration was varied over four orders of magnitude. Initial nitrate and substrate carbon concentrations were varied from 200 to 6000 ppm and from 56 to 1596 ppm, respectively, with a carbon-to-nitrogen weight ratio of 1.18. In all experiments, except those with the highest initial substrate-to-bacteria ratio, no growth was observed due to substrate depletion during the lag period. In those experiments which did exhibit an increase in bacterial population, growth also stopped due to substrate depletion. A model simulating microbe growth during the induction period was developed, but insufficient data were available to properly adjust the model constants. Because of this, the model does not accurately predict microbe growth. The metabolism of Pseudomonas Stutzeri was studied in detail. This resulted in a prediction of the denitrification stoichiometry during steady state reactor operation. Iron was found to be an important component for bacterial anabolism.

Conceptual studies of toroidal field magnets for the tokamak experimental power reactor. Final report (open access)

Conceptual studies of toroidal field magnets for the tokamak experimental power reactor. Final report

This report documents the principal results of a Conceptual Design Study for the Superconducting Toroidal Field System for a Tokamak Experimental Power Reactor. Two concepts are described for peak operating fields at the windings of 8 tesla, and 12 tesla, respectively. The design and manufacturing considerations are treated in sufficient detail that cost and schedule estimates could be developed. Major uncertainties in the design are identified and their potential impact discussed, along with recommendations for the necessary research and development programs to minimize these uncertainties. The minimum dimensions of a sub-size test coil for experimental qualification of the full size design are developed and a test program is recommended.

Soviet-bloc underground coal gasification results using enriched air and steam. [Gorlovskaya, Lisichausk, Podmoskovnaya, Mars Mine-Logizsa field scale experiments] (open access)

Soviet-bloc underground coal gasification results using enriched air and steam. [Gorlovskaya, Lisichausk, Podmoskovnaya, Mars Mine-Logizsa field scale experiments]

Russian and Polish steam-oxygen and steam-enriched-air gasification experiments are analyzed. These experiments were operated for a month or more, consumed up to 20,000 tons of coal, and apparently were conducted with no insurmountable problems. Almost twice as much oxygen per unit weight of coal was required than is used for Lurgi steam-oxygen gasification. The results suggest that a medium-Btu gas suitable for upgrading to pipeline quality gas or for the production of methanol, ammonia, or other chemicals can be obtained from underground coal gasification, particularly if steam-oxygen rather than enriched air and steam is used. The following gas quality was obtained (on a nitrogen-free basis): CH/sub 4/, 2-6 percent; H/sub 2/, 37-42 percent; CO, 18-27 percent; CO/sub 2/, 25-34 percent. The higher heating value of the gas was 220 to 270 Btu/scf. Equilibrium reaction temperatures near 900 K (1160/sup 0/F) were calculated from the product-gas analyses. These low temperatures together with the high consumption of oxygen, suggest some bypassing of oxidants and secondary oxidation of product gases, in addition to some fairly substantial heat losses underground.

Fusion reactor radioactive waste management (open access)

Fusion reactor radioactive waste management

Quantities and compositions of non-tritium radioactive waste are estimated for some current conceptual fusion reactor designs, and disposal of large amounts of radioactive waste appears necessary. Although the initial radioactivity of fusion reactor and fission reactor wastes are comparable, the radionuclides in fusion reactor wastes are less hazardous and have shorter half-lives. Areas requiring further research are discussed.

Calibration of energy dispersive x-ray spectrometers for analysis of thin environmental samples (open access)

Calibration of energy dispersive x-ray spectrometers for analysis of thin environmental samples

Four separate techniques for calibrating energy dispersive x-ray spectrometers are described. They include the use of (1) individual evaporated elemental thin-film standards, (2) nebulized multielement standard solution deposits to determine relative elemental sensitivity factors, (3) a semi-empirical approach to calculate relative elemental sensitivity factors, and (4) thick pure element disks. The first three techniques are applicable for a broad range of elements. The utilization of nebulized multielement standard solution deposits, along with an evaporated single element thin-film standard for absolute system calibration, is the most accurate method of the calibration techniques described.

Studies of factors affecting uranium determinations by automated coulometric titration (New Brunswick Laboratory/Davies--Gray Method) (open access)

Studies of factors affecting uranium determinations by automated coulometric titration (New Brunswick Laboratory/Davies--Gray Method)

The method's errors are defined to ascertain its absolute accuracy. An analytical technique was developed to examine vanadyl sulfate diluent for vanadium (V). None could be found in any of the lots tested. Certain lots of reagent-grade phosphoric acid contained an unidentified impurity that caused high generator-electrode potentials and a positive error. The current-potential characteristics of the generator electrode were measured. The data indicated that a significant fraction of uranium (IV) was oxidized directly during the early stages of titration. Using equations theoretically applicable to such a titration, a negligible difference was found between the inflection point of the titration curve and the equivalence point in the titration. However, the actual experimental curves did not agree with the theoretical curves early in the titration. Measurements of the background current indicated a level equivalent to approximately 0.2 mg uranium. The evaluation of the reagent delivery system used in the automated analyzer revealed adequate reproducibility. 8 tables.

Time resolved x-ray pinhole photography of compressed laser fusion targets (open access)

Time resolved x-ray pinhole photography of compressed laser fusion targets

Use of the Livermore x-ray streak camera to temporally record x-ray pinhole images of laser compressed targets is described. Use is made of specially fabricated composite x-ray pinholes which are near diffraction limited for 6 A x-rays, but easily aligned with a He--Ne laser of 6328 A wavelength. With a 6 ..mu..m x-ray pinhole, the overall system can be aligned to 5 ..mu..m accuracy and provides implosion characteristics with space--time resolutions of approximately 6 ..mu..m and 15 psec. Acceptable criteria for pinhole alignment, requisite x-ray flux, and filter characteristics are discussed. Implosion characteristics are presented from our present experiments with 68 ..mu..m diameter glass microshell targets and 0.45 terawatt, 70 psec Nd laser pulses. Final implosion velocities in excess of 3 x 10/sup 7/ cm/sec are evident.
