50690-98-I Greenhouse Gases Sustain Landfill EcoComplex: Utilization of Landfill CO2 for Commercial Crops and Landfill Methane for Fuel Cells--Acrion Technologies, Inc., 9099 Bank Street, Cleveland, OH 44125-3436; (216) 573-1187 Dr. William R. Brown, Principal Investigator Dr. William R. Brown, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82516 Amount: $74,548 Landfill gas (contaminated methan ...

THIS RESEARCH PROJECT WILL DEMONSTRATE THE TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF A MAGNETIC SEPARATOR FOR OPERATION ON PULVERIZED COAL. A THEORETICAL COMPARISON OF THE SEPARATOR WITH WORK PUBLISHED ON OPEN GRADIENT MAGNETIC SEPARATION BY THE OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY INDICATES THAT THE SEPARATOR WILL HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF ASH CLEANING. THIS IS BECAUSE OF ITS COUNTERCURRENT PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION ...

50854-98-I Development of Corrosion Inhibitors for Absorption Heat Pumps--Advanced Mechanical Technology, Inc., 176 Waltham Street, Watertown, MA 02172-4809; (617) 926-6700 Dr. Joseph Gerstmann, Principal Investigator Mr. Andrew D. Vasilakis, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82519 Amount: $75,000 In order to compete effectively in the marketplace, advanced absorption heat pumps need ...

THERE IS A NEED FOR AN INEXPENSIVE, COMPACT, LOW MAINTENANCE SUB-PICOSECOND OPTICAL PULSE SOURCE TO DRIVE AN OPTICALLY SAMPLED AND TRIGGERED OSCILLOSCOPE. ADEQUATE LASER SOURCES PRESENTLY OCCUPY TEN SQUARE FEET AND REQUIRE REGULAR MAINTENANCE, 20 KW OF ELECTRICITY, AND COOLING WATER; AND THEY COMPRISE THE MAIN COST ITEM IN THE PICOSECOND OSCILLOSCOPE. THE NEW PULSED LASER UNDER DEVELOPMENT IN THIS ...

50734-98-I Passive Remote Sensor for the Measurment of Terrestrial Carbon Changes--Aerodyne Research, Inc., 45 Manning Road, Billerica, MA 01821-3934; (978) 663-9500 Dr. Andrew Freedman, Principal Investigator Dr. Charles E. Kolb, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82520 Amount: $75,000 The Department of Energy (DOE) needs sensor and measurement devices to determine the limits of the ...

65821 Aircraft measurements of ammonia and nitric acid can provide critical information on the sources and sinks of these atmospheric nitrogen species. This is important in understanding air quality, aerosol formation, visibility, and the impact of energy production and usage on global climate change. This project will develop a compact tunable infrared laser differential absorption spectromet ...

60520 The atmospheric abundance of carbon dioxide and methane have increased dramatically during the industrial era. Since these increases can perturb the global climate, it is vital to understand and quantify the factors controlling them. This is difficult because CO2 and CH4 have a wide range of complex surface sources and sinks, which have both natural and anthropogenic components. H ...

60921 Although there are large uncertainties in the quantification of aerosol particles, they have important effects on visibility, acid deposition, climate, and human health. Organic compounds, generated from energy related activities, are known to constitute a large fraction of the ambient aerosol mass in many locations. The quantification of these compounds is hindered by the lack of re ...
