This report is a document summarizing all information available on life aspects of various measures proposed to reduce or eliminate corrosion of Van Stone flanger.

Abstract: "A method has been established for the estimation of volatile organic acids in aqueous process solutions containing UNH, nitric acid, ANN, sodium dichromate and small amounts of hexone. The practice is to distill a 400 ul or 500 ul sample in the presence of an excess of phosphoric acid and ferrous sulfate under a high vacuum; a special apparatus utilizing a receiver cooled with a dry ice-isopropanol mixture is employed. The distillate is taken up in isopropanol and then titrated potentiometrically with standard potassium hydroxide solution. Since nitric acid and organic acids are present, two end points are observed. The potassium hydroxide added between these end points is equivalent to the organic acids. In the titration, CO2 from the atmosphere or in the potassium hydroxide is a source of error. The former was avoided and correction was made for the latter."

The following report discusses the presentation of preliminary density and viscosity data which may explain whether higher viscosities of the Deo Base-TBP systems, and a change in density differences between the two phases will lead to unsatisfactory column operation.

This report discusses properties of the Redox process. Density, apparent molar volumes and viscosity are all described.

Report discussing a method for the stepwise calculation of the number of transfer units utilized in a given solvent extraction operation. "Use of the method results in a very appreciable saving in time of calculation with an error of 1.5% for the runs tested. The error tends to become smaller with increasing total numbers of transfer units involved."

A report discussing an experiment conducted to determine the effect of radiation on the melting point of Tempilaq, a commercially available, temperature-indicating liquid.

Abstract: "A new method of determining 8-hydroxyquinoline by titration with electrolytucally-generated bromine has been developed. Results show good precision in the range 0.4 mg. to 1.6 mg. total 8-hydroxyquinoline, with 99% confidence limits of less than +/- 2%. An electronically-regulated constant current source, required by the method, is described. A new indicator system with high sensitivity to free bromine is discussed."

Abstract: "Small amounts of acetic acid, equivalent to 400 ul. of 0.3 to 0.13 g/L. can be titrated coulonatrically in the presence of a 10 to 25-fold excess of HN03 in 70%, isopropanol. An accuracy of +/- 0.1% and a precision of +/- 8.5% (99% limite) are obtained.

Abstract: "Following nitrate removal by means of a three-stage hydrochloric acid digestion, uranium was reduced with chromous sulfate reagent. In an inert atmosphere, the quadrivalent uranium was titrated at 80-95[degrees] with standard ferric sulfate solution. The end point was obtained with a potentiometric cell including a platinum in-titrant reference electrode and a platinum indicator electrode. Application was made to various low leverl uranium solutions. For samples containing 1 - 12 milligrams or uranium, less than one percent error may be expected. Iron and chromium do not interfere."

Report discussing experiments and developments in purification of graphite starting from March, 1949.

Report discussing change in absorptivity of some rare earth elements over time.

This report discusses methods of producing aluminum nitrate for the Redox process. Large amounts of aluminum nitrate are consumed during the Redox process, so this report explores preparation of this material through the dissolution of hydrated aluminum oxide in nitric acid.

A report which summarizes the performance data obtained from Redox solvent extraction IC Column studies made prior to January 15, 1949 in accordance with conditions of the A.N.L. June 1, 1948, Flowsheet.

This report analyzes a procedure based on the production of acetylene from the active water, with subsequent measurement of the ionization caused by the tritium beta particle. This eliminates the troublesome absorption on the chamber walls when hydrogen is used, and provides a rapid method for the preparation of the urine samples.

The following report presents some points of interest obtained from the use of optical equipment at the Hanford Works; however, this report does not give complete descriptions of the instruments or theories. Full descriptions can be found in the Instrument Division Manual, Section IV.

The following report is based on the observations made during a visit to the Oak Ride National Laboratories of their Redox Pilot Plant equipment.

Introduction: In order to determine the relative corrosion resistance of welded mild and stainless steels in Redox Stream IAW neutralized to pH 0, 2, and 10 a test program, described below, has been carried out.

Introduction: Static, total immersion corrosion tests were carried out at room temperatures with Carboloy grades 44-A, 78, 907, X-3119-A and X-3119-B in Redox process solutions (ANL, June 1, 1949 Flowsheet) 1AX, 1AF, and 1AS.

This report analyzes Parian and Teflon that were exposed to solutions of 1AX, 1AS, and 1AF, ANL June 1, 1948 Flowsheet, under conditions described in the following report.

From summary: "On the basis of the tests described herein, the corrosion characteristics of T-347 welded stainless steel are found not to be affected by the magnetic properties of the welds even though these properties are likely the result of the presence of the ferritic structure."
