REMEDIATION OF SOIL AND GROUNDWATER TO REDUCE HEAVY METAL CONTAMINANTS TO BACKGROUND LEVELS POSES A SERIOUS CHALLENGE. CONVENTIONAL METHODS ARE ABLE TO REDUCE CONTAMINATION LEVELS, BUT TOTAL REMEDIATION, DEFINED AS ACHIEVEMENT OF BACKGROUND LEVELS OF THE METAL, MAY NOT BE ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE. A PERMEABLE CHELATION BARRIER CONTAINING SILICA GEL MODIFIED TO CHELATE HEAVY METALS PROVIDES AN ECONO ...

THERE IS A RENEWED INTEREST IN FUEL CELLS AS PRIMARY POWER SOURCES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES. THE ACIDIC PROTON EXCHANGE MEMBRANE FUEL CELL OPERATES AT A MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 95 DEGREES CENTIGRADE AND, AT PRESENT, RELIES ON THE USE OF PLATINUM-BASED ELECTROCATALYSTS. FOR ACID FUEL CELLS OPERATING AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 130 DEGREES CENTIGRADE, HYDROGEN IS THE MOST ACTIVE COMMON FUEL THAT CAN BE USED ...

THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP A FREQUENCY STANDARD FOR THE URANIUM-STOMIC VAPOR LASER ISOTOPE SEPARATION (U-AVLIS) PROCESS USING A VISIBLE DIODE LASER LOCKED TO AN ATOMIC RESONANCE. A KEY FEATURE IS THE USE OF THE VELOCITY MODULATION METHOD TO PROVIDE A HIGH SIGNAL/NOISE LOCKING DISCRIMINANT WITHOUT THE NEED TO MODULATE THE LASER, AND WITH THE HIGH POWERS FOR SUB-DOPPLER EFFECTS. PHASE I WILL PRODUCE ...

63 A Novel Mass Spectrometer for Characterization of Electrochemical Processes--Southwest Sciences, Inc., 1570 Pacheco Street, Suite E-11, Santa Fe, NM 87505-3937; (505) 984-1322 Dr. David S. Bomse, Principal Investigator Mr. Alan C. Stanton, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-97ER82478 Amount: $75,000 Electrochemical processes are important to a wide variety of energy related systems suc ...

40963 November 19, 1996 Southwest Sciences, Inc. Hybrid electric vehicles equipped with an auxiliary engine have shown extended driving range and better energy efficiency than electric vehicles equipped with only a standard electric power train. However, combustion exhaust from the auxiliary engine is subject to stringent emission standards that require i ...
