Energy savings by means of fuel cell electrodes in electro-chemical industries. Annual report for August 1, 1978-July 31, 1979 (open access)

Energy savings by means of fuel cell electrodes in electro-chemical industries. Annual report for August 1, 1978-July 31, 1979

The objectives of the subject program are: to evaluate experimentally, on a laboratory scale, energy and cost savings in electrowinning of zinc by substituting, for the conventional lead anode, a Prototech proprietary hydrogen anode operating on pure and impure feeds; to similarly evaluate experimentally, again on a laboratory scale, voltage, and thus energy savings in chlor-alkali membrane cells by substituting, for the conventional steel cathode, a Prototech proprietary air cathode; to consult with Lockheed and Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) on the subject of suitable air electrodes for metal/water/air batteries; and prepare cost estimates of all processes investigated based on laboratory results.

Catalytic conversion of oxygenated compounds to low molecular weight olefins. Progress report, January 1-July 31, 1979. [Methanol from synthesis gas from coal gasification] (open access)

Catalytic conversion of oxygenated compounds to low molecular weight olefins. Progress report, January 1-July 31, 1979. [Methanol from synthesis gas from coal gasification]

An attractive route for producing ethylene and propylene from coal is to gasify the coal to produce synthesis gas, convert the synthesis gas to methanol, and then convert methanol to the olefins. During this report period the reactions of methanol over chabazite ion exchanged with rare earth chlorides have been studied at reciprocal liquid hourly space velocities of 1.5 to 15, at temperatures of 259, 271, 304, 352, and 427/sup 0/C, and at pressure 2.7 atm. At 259 and 271/sup 0/C the principle product was dimethyl ether. As the temperature was increased the conversion of methanol to olefins and alkanes increased to 54% and 32%, respectively. A mixture of dimethyl ether, water, and methanol was fed to the Berty reactor. This mixture was near the equilibrium concentrations for converting pure methanol to dimethyl ether and water at 275/sup 0/C. The Berty reactor temperature was 427/sup 0/C. Initially the yields were similar to those obtained when feeding pure methanol. However, the catalyst activity decreased at a faster rate. Rate models are being developed to correlate the catalyst activity and rate as a function of time on stream and partial pressures. A promising model is presented.

Feasibility study for anaerobic digestion of agricultural crop residues. Dynatech report No. 1935 (open access)

Feasibility study for anaerobic digestion of agricultural crop residues. Dynatech report No. 1935

The objective of this study was to provide cost estimates for the pretreatment/digestion of crop residues to fuel gas. A review of agricultural statistics indicated that the crop residues wheat straw, corn stover, and rice straw are available in sufficient quantity to provide meaningful supplies of gas. Engineering economic analyses were performed for digestion of wheat straw, corn stover, and rice straw for small farm-, cooperative-, and industrial scales. The small farm scale processed the residue from an average size US farm (400 acres), and the other sizes were two and three orders of magnitude greater. The results of the analyses indicate that the production of fuel gas from these residues is, at best, economically marginal, unless a credit can be obtained for digester effluent. The use of pretreatment can double the fuel gas output but will not be economically justifiable unless low chemical requirements or low cost chemicals can be utilized. Additional development is necessary in this area. Use of low cost hole-in-the-ground batch digestion results in improved economics for the small farm size digestion system, but not for the cooperative and industrial size systems. Recommendations arising from this study are continued development of autohydrolysis and chemical pretreatment of …

Geological disposal investigations in granite at the Nevada test site (open access)

Geological disposal investigations in granite at the Nevada test site

The Climax stock at NTS was the site of weapons effects tests and is to be used for radwaste disposal studies. The layout of Climax and proposed experiments is illustrated. Geology of Climax is described briefly. Thermal tests showed the thermal conductivity to be essentially isotropic, only slightly temperature-dependent, and 3.0 W/m-/sup 0/K. Permeability is less than 1 nanodarcy. Plans for a spent fuel storage test and for rock mechanics tests are described. (DLC)

Linear-motor drives for machine tools (open access)

Linear-motor drives for machine tools

Conventional techniques to position moving platforms on precision machines have relied heavily on mechanical drives such as the ball-nut/lead-screw system. Unfortunately, as positioning tolerances become more and more demanding, the cyclic errors-inherent even in precision gear drives-contribute an excessive amount of positioning uncertainty. The linear-motor drive system is one approach to provide a smooth, accurate, vibration-free method for locating a moving platform. Some existing uses of linear motors in industry as well as potential future applications on precision machines are discussed.
