Report issued by the Office of Saline Water over studies conducted on reverse-osmosis plants. The results of the studies are presented and discussed. This report includes tables, and illustrations.

A bibliography of about 200 selected references which contain information on source materials dealing with the genesis and geochemistry of gold and geochemical prospecting for gold deposits.

A report about the lithologic units within a red-bed sequence that help to interpret the history and structure of the Woody Creek quadrangle, west-central Colorado.

A report about clinoptilolite. It is a common zeolite, it is potentially valuable for many industrial and agricultural processes, and it might be useful in controlling water pollution by removing ammonia from wastewater.

Discussing the distribution of radionuclides in bottom sediments of the Colombia River Estuary

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over studies of mill-tailings dams, and disposal. Methods and development of tailings dams are discussed. This report includes tables, charts, photographs, and illustrations.

Report presenting accounts of testing saline water conversion and the economics thereof. This report covers the fifteenth and sixteenth Development Runs, which evaluated the following: the performance of the plant's double-fluted tube bundle and titanium tube bundle; the condensate handling-restrictions in the 5 effect module; a sump to sump brine transfer system modification; porcelain spray nozzles; enhanced surface tubes; and an oxygen scavenging system.

The following document is a compilation of technical reports concerning the technical aspects of the Wagon Wheel Project studies, studies that analyze underground nuclear explosions.

The following report presents a regional study of the extent, thickness, lithology, stratigraphic relations, age, depositional environment, and tectonic history of thick sulfate deposits and associated salts of sodium and potassium.

The following report follows a mineral survey of the Glacier Primitive Area and adjoining area in Wyoming, that was made in 1968 and 1969.

This report presents the results of a study that argues the importance of providing thermal energy from steam-electric power plants to urban areas.

From Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations: "The operation and development programs carried out in the CEP, E-1A and LMC plant during the period July 1, 1970 to December 31, 1970 are described in this report. Data was developed on several development tasks as follows. A summary is presented of material evaluation studies made over the past three and a half years. Data on the experiences with coatings, mortar linings, elastomers, and nonferrous and ferrous metals are included. Details are presented of coatings and linings installed in the CEP II Effect including methods of surface preparation and costs."

From Introduction: "This report covers the activities by Catalytic, Inc., during the contract period from June 1, 1969 to June 30, 1970, a thirteen month period."

From Introduction: "The Office of Saline Water (OSW) maintains the MSF Module at the San Diego Test Facility, Chula Vista, California, for the purpose of further advancing and developing the state of art of the multistage flash distillation process and thereby reduce the cost of seawater conversion. The MSF Module has been built and operated to obtain engineering design and operating data to serve as a basis for: a. Future process development. b. Improved full scale plant design. Improved full scale plant operating conditions."

Report comparing "the capital and operating costs of an upflow and downflow plant" (p. 2). Cost saving recommendations are made.

From Summary: "This report summarizes the analyses of the operating data for the period 1963-1969 for the Test Bed Plant and the Auxiliary Test Unit (ATU) located at Roswell, New Mexico."

From Summary: "This report describes the continuing work on HTME distillation plants, the first portions of which were reported in References 1 and 2. A major purpose in the testing of the three-effect pilot plant was to demonstrate mutiple-effect operability of the the horizontal tube method, when utilizing basically the same construction methods and materials as those proposed for commercial HTME plants."

Report issued by the Office of Saline over a summary of all work conducted at the Freeport, Texas test bed plant. The work done at the plant between 1961 and 1969 is presented and discussed. This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

From Summary: "The transport-depletion data obtained by the Southern Research Institute and by the Bureau of Reclamation at Denver, Colorado and at Webster, South Dakota, was reviewed. This data review made it possible to develop a design methodology for the pilot plant, and to identify the additional data required to adequately predict the performance of a transport-depletion stack."
