Ion exchange properties of hydrous oxides (open access)

Ion exchange properties of hydrous oxides

The large class of amorphous insoluble hydrous oxides has interesting ion exchange properties. These materials have high capacities and suitable exchange rates and may therefore be used in packed columns in typical chromatographic (ion exchange) manner. Hydrous oxides may exhibit either cation exchange or anion exchange properties, or both. The type of adsorption depends on the element on which the oxide is based, on the acidity of the medium and, to some extent, on the ion adsorbed. Though some of the most acidic oxides are soluble (e.g., P/sub 2/O/sub 5/) or easily dispersible (e.g., MoO/sub 3/ WO/sub 3/) their intrinsic cation exchange properties may be utilized by incorporating them in excess into an insoluble matrix, i.e., by preparing certain insoluble acidic salts. Some of the materials with cation exchange properties may be used even with extremely small columns - for the separation of the alkali metals from each other - or of the alkaline earths. The specificity of these compounds for cesium in acidic solutions permits the almost unique isolation of this element from properties all others. Those oxides with anion exchange properties also have unusual selectivities compared with the organic ion exchangers. Oxides based on Bi(III) have high selectivities …

Radiochemical Studies of the Fast Neutron Fission of U$sup 235$ and U$sup 238$ (open access)

Radiochemical Studies of the Fast Neutron Fission of U$sup 235$ and U$sup 238$

Radiochemical studies of the fast neutron fission of U/sup 235/ and U/sup 238/ have been made in the mass region beyond mass 143 with two neutron energy distributions. These studies provide measurements of the relative fission yields of several chains in the rare earth group in fission of U/sup 235/ and U/sup 238/ caused by neutrons with an energy distribution very close to unmoderated fission neutrons and by neutrons with an energy distribution peaked at 8 Mev. The increased contribution of very asymmetric modes of fission as the energy of the compound nucleus is increased is clearly shown by the results. In the fission of U/sup 238/ the yield at mass 161 is increased 2.9 times at the higher neutron energy. No previous measurements have been published on radiochemical studies of the fission of U/sup 238/at these neutron energies beyond mass 144 except at mass 156 for the lower neutron energy. (auth)

TEST OF A DIRECT CYCLE NUCLEAR TURBOJET SYSTEM (open access)

TEST OF A DIRECT CYCLE NUCLEAR TURBOJET SYSTEM

This paper discusses research and development effort on a direct-cycle air-cooled nuclear reactor and propulsion equipment. The reactor experiment was designed, constructed, and tested during the period 1953 to 1956 to prove the feasibility of operating a turbojet engine from the heat produced by an air-cooled reactor. A description is given of the reactor, turbomachinery, shielding, control system, and associated equipment used in the first propulsion system test which was run in 1956. The system consisted of a modified J-47 turbojet engine arranged so that compressed air from the compressor was ducted through a shielded reactor and a chemical combustor in series before passing through the turbine and exhaust nozzle. The experimental reactor was based on a unique design concept in which water moderated at low temperature is contained in an aluminum core structure. The air-cooled metal fuel elements containing enriched uranium were arranged in passages running through the reactor. Thermal insulation was provided to protect the aluminum structure from the high temperature fuel elements and air, and to reduce heat losses to the moderator water. The entire reactor shield and turbojet assembly was mounted on a four-rail flat car for easy transfer by a shielded locomotive from the test …

Potential Physical Processes Explaining the Observed Spectral Signature of Cloudy Column Solar Radiation Absorption (open access)

Potential Physical Processes Explaining the Observed Spectral Signature of Cloudy Column Solar Radiation Absorption

The results presented here have shown that the spectral signature of absorption in a cloudy layer could be duplicated (except for the 1.06 {micro}m region) with a rather sophisticated radiative transfer model, if the absorption by both aerosol and cloud droplets was enhanced. In the case of aerosol, highly absorbing (imaginary part of refractive index between 0.1 and 0.01), small (2 - 5 nm) particles dramatically improved the match between observations and model computations. Duplication of the observed cloud absorption required a thin layer of drizzle (large droplets). The only feature remaining unexplained at this time is the enhanced absorption at 1.06 {micro}m. These results are only based on one day of observations and need to be verified. This study suggests the need for additional co-located broadband and spectral observations in clear and cloudy sky conditions in different atmospheric regimes. In-situ aerosol and cloud droplet microphysical measurements will be crucial to unravel the role of these particles in the ''enhanced absorption'' issue. Finally, accurate absorption measurements are needed at 1.06 {micro}m to understand observed absorption in that spectral region.

HIGH TEMPERATURE X-RAY DIFFRACTION TECHNIQUES FOR ACTIVE METALS (open access)

HIGH TEMPERATURE X-RAY DIFFRACTION TECHNIQUES FOR ACTIVE METALS

Techniques are described for obtaining x ray diffraction information on active metals at high temperatures. One method is used to 1000 deg C with rare earths; the other method is used to 2200 deg C with tungsten, and to 1400 deg C with some f the higher melting rare earths. The latter approach permits simultaneous measurement of resistance of the specimens vs temperature and the diffraction pattern, which facilitates the characterizing of the high temperature forms of the metals.

A PULSED EDDY CURRENT TEST SYSTEM USING REFLECTED FIELDS (open access)

A PULSED EDDY CURRENT TEST SYSTEM USING REFLECTED FIELDS

An eddy current test system is described in which the test information is detected as a series of fields reflected from the metal surface and interior. Pulsed electromagnetic fields are caused to impinge upon the test specimen. These fields are restricted to a small cross sectional area over a path in space long enough to be useful for test purposes by devices called mask-apenture assemblies. This approach provides a number of advantages over conventional eddy current methods of comparable capabilities, including superior surface resolution, a reduction in circuit complexity, and an improvement in stability and reliability. Various applications and test results are discussed. (auth)

Secondary Isotope Effects in Molecular Structure (open access)

Secondary Isotope Effects in Molecular Structure

A study was made to determine whether secondary iso tope effects also occur in molecular structure. Electron diffraction studies were carried out on ethane and deuteroethane. In C/sub 2/H/sub 6/ the mean C-C and C-H bond lengths found agreed very closely with values determined for other paraffin hydrocarbons, and the C--H bond showed a normal primary isotope effect (~ 0.005 A) similar to that found in methane when H is replaced by O. The output of the leastsquares analysis suggested that the mean C-- C bond length in C/sub 2/D/sub 6/ is shorter than in C/sub 2/H/sub 6/ and by about 0.004 A. Th e decrease seemed to be real for the apparent uncertainty was not much greater than 0.001 A. (M.C.G.)

Cryogenic targets for electron scattering (open access)

Cryogenic targets for electron scattering

Over the past few years we have developed a system which allows several different liquid hydrogen and liquid deuterium targets to be placed in the electron beam of the Stanford Mark III accelerator and which can be operated from a remote position. The geometry of our scattering chamber requires that the motion (of the various targets into position) must be in the vertical direction, but that the overall height of the system be constant. These requirements are met by using an internal retractable bellows arrangement to raise and lower the target cells. As many as five cells can be used in conjunction with a single reservoir system.

Physics Performance of the EBWE in Its Zero to 100 Mw Operation (open access)

Physics Performance of the EBWE in Its Zero to 100 Mw Operation

The distribution of fuel elements in the EBWR core is described. Spike elements with boron steel strips were provided in the core for burnup allowance. A calibration of the control rod system with Zircaloy followers was made. Void coefficient measurements were made for two different H/sub 3/BO/sub 3/ concentrations. Power runs were made, and reactivity loss vs. power characteristic was obtained. Steam remaining in the core, or carryunder,'' was indicated. Some of the spikes were removed for increasing the power to 80 Mw. Calculations were made of the reactivity loss with coolant void and of the average void vs. reactor power. (D. L.C.)

Variation of the Half-Wave Potential of Organic Compounds With pH. Report No. 78 (open access)

Variation of the Half-Wave Potential of Organic Compounds With pH. Report No. 78

From 19th International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry Congress, London. A systematic introduction is presented to the subject of the variation with pH of the polarographic half-wave potential, which is probably the most readily measured electrochemical energetic parameter of organic compounds. Emphasis is placed on (a) the types of relationships observed for both reversible and irreversible electrode processes, (b) the mathematical formulation of these relationships, (c) the structural, mechanistic, kinetic, and environmental factors influencing such relationships, and (d) the presumptive physical causes for such relationships, e.g., the effect of pH on the electrochemical kinetics. Although the discussion is primarily concerned with behavior in aqueous solution, the conclusions drawn are equally valid for nonaqueous media in which hydrogen ion or some other Lewis acid can play a significant role. The half-wave potential for an organic electrode process may be independent of pH, or may vary lineanly or sigmoidally; other types of relationships observed are likely to be combinations of such effects. These variations may be due (a) to direct participation of hydrogen ion in the transition state involving the electroactive site in the organic molecule and the electron source, e.g., polarization of the bond to be broken, (b) to control …
