THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR RESEARCH TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF A PROCESS TO RECOVER ALL OF THE METAL AND CHEMICAL VALUESFROM SPENT PETROLEUM HYDROTREATING CATALYST IN SUCH A MANNERAS TO NEARLY ELIMINATE ANY HAZARDOUS WASTE CONSIDERATIONS. THE CRITICAL STEPS IN THE PROCESS ARE (1) ACID LEACH OF THE CATALYST AND (2) SEPARATION AND RECOVERY OF COBALT, NICKEL AND OTHER METALS FROM THE RESULTING LEACH S ...

THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ON INDIAN RESERVATIONS IN THE US. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE ON TRIBAL LANDS IS HIGH AND THERE IS MINIMAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. IN SPITE OF THE OBSSTACLES OF ISOLATION, LACK OF CAPITAL FORM- ATION AND LACK OF TRAINED PERSONNEL, SOME ENTERPRISES HAVE SUCCEEDED AND ARE PROFITABLE. THIS RESEARCH PROJECT WILL INVESTIGATE WHAT ENABLED THESE PROJECTS TO SUCCEED ...

METAL HYDRIDE, REVERSIBLE HYDROGEN ASORBERS, ARE BEGINNING TO ENTER THE MARKET PLACE AS NEW ENGINEERING MATERIALS. AS THEY DO SO, IT IS BECOMING CLEAR THAT THEIR POTENTIAL USEFULNESS CANNOT BE REALIZED UNTIL THE PROBLEM OF HYSTERESIS IS CONSIDERABLY REDUCED. HYSTERESIS, THE GAP BETWENN THE ABSORPTION PRESSURE AND DESORPTION PRESSURE IN A METAL-HYDROGEN SYSTEM, VARIES GREATLY AMONST CURRENT HYDRIDE ...

TOPIC 1-Q OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE OMNIBUS SOLICITATION SPECIFIES THE MEASUREMENT OF LIQUID WATER CONTENT OF SNOW. NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESDNANCE SPECTROSCOPY HAS THE ABILITY TO DETECT AND MEASURE LIQUID CONTENT WITHOUT MEASURING SOLID DENSITY. FORTUNATELY THE HYDROGEN RESONANCE SIGNAL FROM H20 IS PROBABLY THE STRONGEST NMR SIGNAL AVAILABLE. THIS COMBINATION OF CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD PERMIT THE DESI ...
