Carbon Dioxide Fixation by Microorganisms (open access)

Carbon Dioxide Fixation by Microorganisms

Resting cells of eleven microorganisms were exposed to radioactive carbon dioxide for 40 minutes. The radioactive compounds formed during this time were separated and identified by paper chromatography. Resting cells of Lactobacillus casei fixed no carbon dioxide and growing cells fixed carbon dioxide primarily in malic and aspartic acids. All of the radioactive compounds formed could have become radioactive by reversal of known decarboxylation reactions.

Analytical results on leachings from Nutsche Filters (open access)

Analytical results on leachings from Nutsche Filters

This report describes results of an investigation to determine whether plutonium nitrates and lanthanum compounds were being entrained on the filter aid and filter block of the Nutsche Filters in Cell 2 of Bldg. 231. Leach samples were analyzed for La, Pu, phosphate, fluoride, Pu{sup 240}, and Am. From the data the authors concluded that the holdup on the Nutsche Filter is due to insoluble plutonium compounds either filtered from solution, or more likely, formed on the filter. These compounds would have a relatively low solubility in 25% nitric acid and would dissolve slowly, thus permitting a gradual buildup of material on the filter which was not detected until leaching with 60% nitric acid was instituted.
