Clemson final report: High temperature formulations for SRS soils (open access)

Clemson final report: High temperature formulations for SRS soils

This study was undertaken to demonstrate the application of a DC arc melter to in-situ vitrification of SRS soils. The melter that was available at the DOE/Industrial Vitrification Laboratory at Clemson University was equipped with opposing solid electrodes. To simulate field conditions, two hollow electrode configurations were evaluated which allowed fluxes to be injected into the melter while the soils were being vitrified. the first 4 runs utilized pre-blended flux (two runs) and attempted flux injection (two runs). These runs were terminated prematurely due to offgas sampling problems and melt freezing. The remaining four runs utilized a different electrode geometry, and the runs were not interrupted to change out the offgas sampling apparatus. These runs were conducted successfully.

Color separation gratings for diverting the unconverted light away from the NIF target (open access)

Color separation gratings for diverting the unconverted light away from the NIF target

Most of the glass laser based inertial confinement fusion systems around the world today employ non-linear frequency conversion for converting the 1.053 micrometer light at the fundamental frequency (referred to as 1{omega} light) to either its second harmonic (called 2{omega}) at 527 nm or to its third harmonic (called 3{omega}) at 351 nm. Shorter wavelengths are preferred for laser fusion because of the improved coupling of the laser light to the fusion targets due to reduced fast electron production at shorter wavelengths. The frequency conversion process, however, is only about 60-70% efficient and the residual 30-40% of the energy remains at 1{omega} and 2{omega} frequencies. Color separation gratings (CSGs) offer a versatile approach to reducing and possibly eliminating the unconverted light at the target region. A CSG consists of a three- level lamellar grating designed so that nearly all of the 3{omega} light passes through undiffracted while the residual 1{omega} and 2{omega} energy is diverted into higher diffraction orders. The diffraction angle is determined solely by the grating period. We have demonstrated the concept of using a color separation grating. We fabricated a 345 micrometer period CSG in fused silica using lithographic processes and wet etching. The measured far field …

Dumping pump and treat: rapid cleanups using thermal technology (open access)

Dumping pump and treat: rapid cleanups using thermal technology

Underground spills of volatile hydrocarbons are often difficult to clean up, especially if the contaminants are present in or below the water table as a separate liquid-organic phase. Excavating and treating the contaminated soil may not be practical or even possible if the affected zone is relatively deep. Merely pumping groundwater has proven to be ineffective because huge amounts of water must be flushed through the contaminated area to clean it; even then the contaminants may not be completely removed. Due to the low solubility of most common contaminants, such pump and treat systems can be expected to take decades to centuries to actually clean a site. Today, many sites are required to pump and treat contaminated groundwater even though there is no expectation that the site will be cleaned. In these cases, the pumps simply control the spread of the contaminant, while requiring a continuous flow of money, paperwork, and management attention. Although pump and treat systems are relatively inexpensive to operate, they represent along term cost. Most importantly, they rarely remove enough contaminant to change the property`s status. Although a pump and treat system can offer compliance in a regulatory sense, it doesn`t solve the site`s liability problem. …

EMF Rapid Program Engineering Projects, Project 1, Development of Recommendations for Guidelines for Field Source Measurement (open access)

EMF Rapid Program Engineering Projects, Project 1, Development of Recommendations for Guidelines for Field Source Measurement

The goal of this project is to develop a protocol for measuring the electric and magnetic fields around sources. Data from these measurements may help direct future biological effects research by better defining the complexity of magnetic and electric fields to which humanity is exposed, as well asprovide the basis for rigorous field exposure analysis and risk assessment once the relationship between field exposure and biological response. is better understood. The data base also should have sufficient spatial and temporal characteristics to guide electric and magnetic field management. The goal of Task A is to construct a set of characteristics that would be ideal to have for guiding and interpreting biological studies and for focusing any future effort at field management. This ideal set will then be quantified and reduced according to the availability (or possible development of) instrumentation to measure the desired characteristics. Factors that also will be used to define pragmatic data sets will be the cost of collecting the data, the cost of developing an adequate data base, and the needed precision in measuring specific characteristics. A field, electric or magnetic, will always be ,some function of time and space. The first step in this section of …

Hydrous pyrolysis/oxidation: in-ground thermal destruction of organic contaminants (open access)

Hydrous pyrolysis/oxidation: in-ground thermal destruction of organic contaminants

Experimental work with organic solvents at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has suggested that in situ thermal oxidation of these compounds via hydrous pyrolysis forms the basis for a whole new remediation method, called hydrous pyrolysis oxidation. Preliminary results of hydrothermal oxidation using both dissolved 0{sub 2} gas and mineral oxidants present naturally in soils (e.g., MnO{sub 2}) demonstrate that TCE, TCA, and even PCE can be rapidly and completely degraded to benign products at moderate conditions, easily achieved in thermal remediation. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS) have an even larger thermodynamic driving force favoring oxidation, and they are also amenable to in situ destruction. Today, the principal treatment methods for chlorinated solvent- and PAH-contaminated soil are to remove it to landfills, or incinerate it on site. The most effective method for treating ground water, Dynamic Underground Stripping (Newmark et al., 1995), still involves removing the contaminant for destruction elsewhere. Hydrous pyrolysis/oxidation would eliminate the need for long-term use of expensive treatment facilities by converting all remaining contaminant to benign products (e.g., carbon dioxide, water, and chloride ion). The technique is expected to be applicable to dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLS) and dissolved organic components. Soil and ground water would be polished …

Implementation and performance of beam smoothing on 10 beams of the Nova Laser (open access)

Implementation and performance of beam smoothing on 10 beams of the Nova Laser

Recent simulations and experiments on Nova indicate that some level of smoothing may be required to suppress filamentation in plasmas on the National Ignition Facility (NIF), resulting in the addition of 1-D smoothing capability to the current baseline design. Control of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and filamentation is considered essential to the success of laser fusion because they affect the amount and location of laser energy delivered to the x-ray conversion region (hohlraum wall) for indirect drive and to the absorptive region for direct drive, Smoothing by spectral dispersion (SSD)[1], reduces these instabilities by reducing nonuniformities in the focal irradiance when averaged over a finite time interval. We have installed SSD on Nova to produce beam smoothing on all 10 beam lines. A single dispersion grating is located in a position common to all 10 beam lines early in the preamplifier chain. This location limits the 1{omega} bandwidth to 2.2 {angstrom} with sufficient dispersion to displace the speckle field of each frequency component at the target plane by one half speckle diameter. Several beam lines were modified to allow orientation of the dispersion on each arm relative to the hohlraum wall. After conversion to the third harmonic the beam passes …

Optically driven surface reactions: Laser probes of surface dynamics (open access)

Optically driven surface reactions: Laser probes of surface dynamics

Our efforts in the past three and a half years have been directed towards providing the ground work for applying REMPI detection to the dynamics of surface oxidation and desorption reactions. Our initial efforts addressed the oxidation of carbon films that had been prepared on metal supports. The photolysis of adsorbed N{sub 2}O was chosen as the initial oxygen atom source. However, a number of alternative O atom precursors were also evaluated. Results from Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and state-resolved studies of the photochemistry of N{sub 2}O, NO{sub 2}, or O{sub 2} coadsorbed with carbon on Pt(111) have been obtained. In the last eighteen months, we have focused on a stringent test of current theories of femtosecond laser-induced desorption of CO/Cu(100). The results indicate that an electronic friction model is sufficient to account for essentially all of the results in this system, indicating that a predictive tool for femtosecond laser-induced surface chemistry may be in hand.
