of kraft mill effluents, it was decided to investigate the
feasibility of using foam separation as a method of treatment. The
treatment efficiency was evaluated by BOD and COD reductions as
well as the decrease in toxicity to marine life....
A 9.0 ppb solution of dieldrin in water was passed through a
granular-activated carbon bed at the rate of 4 gpm/sq. ft. The performance
of the carbon was monitored from sampling ports at bed
depths of 2-1/4 and 8-1/4 inches. Isotherm tests were also run with
a 9.0 ppb dieldrin...
Seven cases of post-cold-frontal squall lines moving
through the Willamette Valley of Northwest Oregon were
investigated by the various techniques of meso-analysis.
Time cross sections were converted to space cross
sections by using the movement of the radar echo of the
squall lines. The observations in time were converted to...
