Engineering Feasibility and Economics of CO2 Sequestration/Use on an Existing Coal-Fired Power Plant: A Literature Review (open access)

Engineering Feasibility and Economics of CO2 Sequestration/Use on an Existing Coal-Fired Power Plant: A Literature Review

The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the technical feasibility and the economics of alternate CO{sub 2} capture and sequestration/use technologies for retrofitting an existing pulverized coal-fired power plant. To accomplish this objective three alternative CO{sub 2} capture and sequestration systems will be evaluated to identify their impact on an existing boiler, associated boiler auxiliary components, overall plant operation and performance and power plant cost, including the cost of electricity. The three retrofit technologies that will be evaluated are as follows: (1) Coal combustion in air, followed by CO{sub 2} separation from flue gas with Kerr-McGee/ABB Lummus Global's commercial MEA-based absorption/stripping process. (2) Coal combustion in an O{sub 2}/CO{sub 2} environment with CO{sub 2} recycle. (3) Coal combustion in air with oxygen removal and CO{sub 2} captured by tertiary amines In support of this objective and execution of the evaluation of the three retrofit technologies a literature survey was conducted. It is presented in an ''annotated'' form, consistent with the following five sections: (1) Coal Combustion in O{sub 2}/CO{sub 2} Media; (2) Oxygen Separation Technologies; (3) Post Combustion CO{sub 2} Separation Technologies; (4) Potential Utilization of CO{sub 2}; and (5) CO{sub 2} Sequestration. The objective of the literature …

Particle Size (Sieving) and Enthalpy (Acid Calorimetry) Analysis of Single-Pull K East Basin Floor and Pit Sludges (open access)

Particle Size (Sieving) and Enthalpy (Acid Calorimetry) Analysis of Single-Pull K East Basin Floor and Pit Sludges

This report discusses particle size and calorimetry analyses performed on single-pull sludge samples collected from the Hanford K East Basin floor and pits. This study was conducted by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in support of the baseline sludge management plan, which calls for the sludge to be packaged, shipped and stored at T Plant in the Hanford 200 West Area until final processing as a future date. These analyses were needed to better understand the K Basin sludge inventory and chemical reactivity.

Long-Term Risk From Actinides In The Environment: Modes Of Mobility (open access)

Long-Term Risk From Actinides In The Environment: Modes Of Mobility

The mobility of actinides in surface soils remains a key issue of concern at several DOE facilities in arid and semiarid environments, including Rocky Flats, Hanford, Nevada, Idaho, and Los Alamos. Over the last 50 years, nuclear research and development programs have resulted in releases of plutonium to both on-site and off-site locations. Most of this plutonium and other actinides are currently in soils where it is tightly bound to soil particles (Watters et al. 1983), but these particles themselves are subject to redistribution. Research indicates that actinide redistribution is driven primarily by physical and biological processes associated with ecosystem dynamics, rather than by chemical processes. Actinide mobility is a high visibility issue at Rocky Flats and Hanford due to pending litigation and clean-up decisions. The potential for redistribution has lead plaintiff groups to sue the DOE and its contractors at Rocky Flats and Hanford by claiming that past releases of plutonium have occurred and that these releases have exposed off-site human populations to large amounts of plutonium with consequent negative health risks to humans (Goble 1996). Plaintiffs also claim that these exposures will continue to occur because of chronic releases from contaminated soil from on-site sources (Goble 1996, Smallwood …

Thermal Energy Storage for Space Cooling--Federal Technology Alert (open access)

Thermal Energy Storage for Space Cooling--Federal Technology Alert

Cool storage technology can be used to significantly reduce energy costs by allowing energy-intensive, electrically driven cooling equipment to be predominantly operated during off peak hours when electricity rates are lower. This Federal Technology Alert, which is sponsored by DOE's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), describes the basic types of cool storage technologies and cooling system integration options. In addition, it defines the savings potential in the federal sector, presents application advice, and describes the performance experience of specific federal users. The results of a case study of a GSA building using cool storage technology are also provided.

Monitoring Genetic and Metabolic Potential for in situ Bioremediation: Mass Spectrometry (open access)

Monitoring Genetic and Metabolic Potential for in situ Bioremediation: Mass Spectrometry

A number of DOE sites are contaminated with mixtures of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, perchloroethylene, and trichloroethylene. At many of these sites, in situ microbial bioremediation is an attractive strategy for cleanup, since it has the potential to degrade DNAPLs in situ without the need for pump-and-treat or soil removal procedures, and without producing toxic byproducts. A rapid screening method to determine broad range metabolic and genetic potential for contaminant degradation would greatly reduce the cost and time involved in assessment for in situ bioremediation, as well as for monitoring ongoing bioremediation treatment. The objective of this project was the development of mass-spectrometry-based methods to screen for genetic potential for both assessment and monitoring of in situ bioremediation of DNAPLs. These methods were designed to provide more robust and routine methods for DNA based characterization of th e genetic potential of subsurface microbes for degrading pollutants. Specifically, we sought to (1) Develop gene probes that yield information equivalent to conventional probes, but in a smaller size that is more amenable to mass spectrometric detection, (2) Pursue improvements to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) methodology in order to allow its more general application to …

OUT Success Stories: Chemical Treatments for Geothermal Brines

DOE research helped develop the large, untapped geothermal resource beneath the Salton Sea in California's Imperial Valley. The very hot brines under high pressure make them excellent for electric power production. The brines are very corrosive and contain high concentrations of dissolved silica. DOE worked with San Diego Gas and Electric Company to find a solution to the silica-scaling problem. This innovative brine treatment eliminated scaling and made possible the development of the Salton Sea geothermal resource.
