Model Study of Wave and Surge Action, Naval Operating Base, Terminal Island, San Pedro, California (open access)

Model Study of Wave and Surge Action, Naval Operating Base, Terminal Island, San Pedro, California

The study reported herein was conducted in 1944 at the Waterways Experiment Station for the Bureau of Yards and Docks, U. S. Navy Department. Its purpose was to determine the best of several plans proposed for protecting the piers and dry docks at the Naval Operating Base, Terminal Island, San Pedro, California, from the effects of wave and surge action.

The Reaction of Ferric Chloride With Uranium Tetrachloride (open access)

The Reaction of Ferric Chloride With Uranium Tetrachloride

Abstract: Solid ferric chloride reacts with solid uranium tetrachloride to form a complex iron-uranium chloride compound at approximately 263°C. The vapor pressure of this compound is nearer to that of uranium tetrachloride than to the vapor pressure of ferric chloride.

Interfacial Tension Measurement on A1(NO₃)₃ - H₂O - HNO₃ - Dibutyl Cellosolve System

This report discusses two methods used for experimental determination of the interfacial tension of an immisible aqueous-organic system where the density of the organic phase is less than that of the aqueous phase. The methods discussed are the falling drop method and the Donnan modification/rising drop method.

Reclamation of Contaminated Kinney and Diffusion Pump Oils and Removal of Uranium Therefrom (open access)

Reclamation of Contaminated Kinney and Diffusion Pump Oils and Removal of Uranium Therefrom

Abstract: Test distillations were made with Kinney and diffusion pump oils under vacuum in order to determine accurately the temperature range over which satisfactory distillate may be collected. Also recommendations are made as to the most advisable type of heating equipment necessary to produce the required heat and maintain the desired temperature. In addition, several important refinements in the distillation equipment were checked for operational characteristics and for their efficiency in aiding the production of uranium-free distillates.

Recovery of Uranium From Oil Distillation Residue (open access)

Recovery of Uranium From Oil Distillation Residue

Abstract: The complete development of an effective process for recovery of the uranium in the residues from distillation of used Kinney and diffusion pump oils or similar oils is described. After considerable study and experimentation with several methods, a successful procedure has been developed. The recommended procedure embodies solution of the residues in trichlorethylene followed by extraction with nitric acid. Recovery of uranium is better than 99 percent effective and the method may be applied directly to contaminated oils as well as to their distillation residues.

Recovery of Uranium From Contaminated Precipitron Oil (open access)

Recovery of Uranium From Contaminated Precipitron Oil

Abstract: The distillation and residue extraction recovery procedures developed for the recovery of uranium from Kinney and diffusion pump oil, were applied to contaminated precipitron oil. The effectiveness and advisability of using the method, in whole or in part, is discussed, and various recommendations for processing this particular type of oil are presented. Additional contaminating substances present in this type of oil added to the complexity of the problem but a satisfactory recovery procedure was, nevertheless, successfully developed.
