ELECTRIC ARC FURNACE DUST IS LISTED AS A HAZARDOUS WASTE. TOTAL PRODUCTION OF THIS DUST IS ESTIMATED TO BE 500,000 TONS AT SOME 77 LOCATION RANGING IN SCALE FORM LESS THAN 1,000 TONS TO OVER 20,000 TONS PER YEAR. A PROCESS IS PROPOSED WHICH MAY PERMIT ON-SITE, SIMPLE RECOVERY OF CONTAMINANT METALS IN THE DUST. THE PROCESS RECYCLES RECYCLES CHEMICAL REAGENTS AND AQUEOUS LEACH , MINIMIZIN COST AND A ...

PRIVATE INVESTMENTS IN TRANSPORTATION CAN BE PROFITABLE. THE HORIZONTAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS (HDP), EMPLOYING A SPECIALIZED FORM OF PEOPLE-MOVER AS A HORIZONTAL ELEVATOR (H*E), MAXIMIZES THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL, REDUCES THE RISK OF HIGH COSTS OR LOW INVESTMENT RETURN. AN HDP GUIDE WITH INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL APPRAISALS INCLUDING PROFORMA DATA AND PRELIMINARY UTAG (URBAN TRANSPORTATION ACTION GRANT ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF QUANTIFYING THE EFFECTS OF IREASED AUTOMATION ON THE WORKLOAD AND PERFORMANCE OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRA-TION'S AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER. IN PHASE I, RESEARCH WILL FOCUS ON ADAPTRING OUR CURRENT HUMAN PERFORMANCE MODEL TO REPRESENT THE JOB CHARACTERISTICS OR ATTRIBUTES THAT WILL DETERMINE LEVELS OF WORKLOAD AND PERFORMANCE IN THE AD ...

A NEWLY DISCOVERED MEMBRANE-LIKE-MATERIAL OFFERS A WAY TO PRE-TREAT INDUSTRIAL LAUNDRY WASTE WATER, CONTAINING OILS, SOLVENTS, AND GREASES TO ABOVE 15, 000 PPM, TO REMOVE THE BULK OF THESE CONTAMINANTS, SO THAT OTHER PROCESSES CAN THEN BE USED TO PRODUCE RE-CYCLE QUALITY WATER. THESE WASTES HAVE ANY CONTAMINANT THAT CAN APPEAR IN THE SYSTEM FROM THE USE OF WIPERS, MATS, UNIFORMS, FILTER BAGS, ETC. ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SELECTIVE DETECTORS FOR GAS AND LIQUID CHROMTOGRAPHY FOR THE SENSITIVE MEASUREMENT OF SULFUR-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS IS PROPOSED. THESE DETECTORS ARE BASEDON FLUORINE-INDUCED CHEMILUMINESCENCE AND ARE HIGHLY SE SELECTIVE FOR SULFIDES, DISULFIDES AND MERCAPTANS. THE MAJORRESEARCH PROPOSED IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SOURCES OF FLU FLUORINE WHICH WILL BE SAFE, PROTABLE, AND LOW IN ...

THE DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF NEW SELECTIVE AND SENSITIVE DETECTORS FOR GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY IS PROPOSED. THISINSTRUMENTATION WILL BE USED FOR THE DIRECT ANALYSIS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND FOR RAPID SCREENING FOR THE PRESENCE OF PARTICULAR CLASSES FO ORGANIC COMPOUNDS. THE DETECTORS ARE BASED ON METAL-CATALYZED OXIDATION/REDUCTION REACTIONS OF NO2 WITH ORGANIC REDUCING AGENTS. THE REDOX CHEMILUMI ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW DETECTOR FOR GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY BASED ON PHOTOCHEMICAL AMPLIFICATION IS PROPOSED. IN THE PROPOSED SYSTEM, THE EFFLUENT OF THE GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY MIXED WITH A GAS STREAM CONTAINING OXYGEN AND ENTERS A PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTOR. ANALYTES WHICH ABSORB UV RADIATION ARE QUENCHED BY MOLICULAR OXYGEN TO FORM SINGLET OXYGEN WHICH ISSUBSEQUENTLY DETECTED SELECTIVELY BY PHOTOIONIZATION. ...
