INCREASED EMPHASIS ON THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH ING UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS AND UNDERGROUND POLLUTION IN GENERAL HAS CREATED A NEED FOR TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE OR ELIM-INATE THE ASSOCIATED CONTAMINATION. TO DATE, PACKAGE AIR GENERAL HAS CREATED A NEED FOR TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THE ASSOCIATED CONTAMINATION. TO DATE, PACKAGE AIR STRIPPING UNITS SEEM TO HAVE RECEIVED THE BROADEST AC- CE ...

IONICS RESEARCH INC. (IRI) HAS DETERMINED THAT UNCOATED CAPILLARY COLUMNS CAN BE USED TO CONCENTRATE ORGANICS FROM WATER. THE METHOD IS EXCEEDINGLY SIMPLE AND RAPID (10 MINUTES PER 100 ML), YET EFFECTIVE. IRI PLANS TO INVESTIGATE THE POTENTIAL OF THIS TECHNIQUE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INSTRUMENT SUITABLE FOR THA NALYSIS OF ORGANICS AT THE PART-PER-TRILLION LEVEL IN WATER AND WASTEWATER. SUCH AN ...

THIS PROPOSAL IS CONCERNED WITH THE ECONOMIC REMOVAL OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE, A TOXIC MATERIAL, FROM SOUR NATURAL GAS AND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS. THE CURRENT STATUS OF H2S PROCESSING IS REVIEWED. THE CHEMISTRY OF SULFUR AND SULFIDE IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS AND PRELIMINARY WORK ALREADY CARRIED OUT IN THE CONTINUOUS ELECTROLYSIS OF H2S TO YIELD HYDROGEN AND SULFUR ARE BRIEFLYDISCUSSED. THE ESTIMATED ECONOMIC GA ...

methyst Research Inc. will design, fabricate and test a high uniformity, large area, low noise infrared trap-detector detector for the 1- 4.5 μm wavelength range. This state of the art detector will have a large area (e.g., 1-1.8 cm diameter active area) with a spatial variability of internal quantum efficiency of less than 0.1 % between 1 μm and 4.5 μm. In addition, the internal quantum effici ...

Fumed silica is an important additive in many products, including paints, plastics and tires, and is a $1.5 billion market with a 6 percent growth rate. However, fumed silica producers rely on an energy- intensive, costly and hazardous process. The air pollution resulting from the energy utilized to produce fumed silica is a combination of carbon emissions from the production of raw materials, ene ...

Advanced Technologies & Testing Laboratories (ATTL) proposes to develop a self‐regenerative nano-air filtration technology to not only remove gaseous pollutants from the air, but also to destroy them and regenerate the filter. The proposed technology will involve the further development of a photo‐electro‐chemical air filtration platform, which already has been developed into a highly effect ...

Much attention has been focused of late on phosphorus pollution and algae blooms. However, the problems of phosphorus mining and consumption are much more complex and can be categorized into two distinct areas of concern: (1) phosphorus’ critical role in food production and the dwindling supply of phosphate rock reserves; and (2) the mining and use of phosphate and the environmental impact of ph ...

More than 280 million Americans depend on the safety of the tap water provided by their local water systems. Ensuring that safe, uncontaminated water flows through the tap means ensuring that the water flowing through the pipes connected to these taps is also kept uncontaminated. However, a common problem that ails most of these water pipes is biofilm formation, causing the water flowing through t ...
