AMAX Research Development Center (AMAX R D) has been investigating methods for enhancing the reactivity and durability of the zinc ferrite desulfurization sorbent. Zinc ferrite sorbents are intended for use in desulfurization of hot coal gas in integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) or molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) applications. For the present program, the reactivity of the sorbent may be defined as its sulfur sorption capacity at the breakthrough point and at saturation in a bench-scale, fixed-bed reactor. Durability may be defined as the ability of the sorbent to maintain important physical characteristics such As size, strength, and specific surface area during 10 cycles of sulfidation and oxidation.

A device in the flexible support system for the Central Calorimeter is the Liquid Argon Heat Intercept. The purpose of this apparatus is to intercept heat outside the inner vessel so that bubbles do not form inside. If bubbles did happen to form inside the vessel, they would cause an electric arc between the read-out board and the absorption plates, thus destroying the pre-amplifier. Since this heat intercept is located in the center of the flexible support, it must also support the load of the Central Caloimeter. Figure 1 shows how the intercept works. The subcooled liquid argon is driven through a 1/4-inch x 0.049-inch w tube by hydrostatic pressure. the ambient heat boils the subcooled argon. The gaseous argon flows through the tube and is condensed at the top of the vessel by a 100 kW cooling coil. This process is rpesent in all four flexible support systems.

This review summarizes results from some principal investigations of shock-strain effects in metals. The strain contribution indeed plays a role in residual microstructures, particularly, if the strain becomes dominant as in ''under trapped'' experiments of low or moderate pressure or for that matter, of ''well trapped'' high pressure experiments. Not only does this strain contribution affect the microstructure by increasing deformation, a concommitant strain heat is generated and absorbed by the shocked material. This strain heat, if large enough (relative to the homologous temperature of the material), can and does have an annealing effect on the residual microstructure. This strain heat is over and above the values typically calculated for materials implying little or no strain. Although the accumulative effects of associated strain are not completely definite, the collective picture presented is one in which shock-induced strains, when large enough, have a significant effect on the residual microstructure. 43 refs., 20 figs.
