The amine extraction process is evaluated for pulse column
operation. A 0.1 M solution of Primene JM-T (a commercial mixture
of tertiary-alkyl primary amines) in a kerosene-base diluent is
the extractant for thorium feed in aqueous acidic sulfate solutions.
Equilibrium isotherms at room temperature are presented at
aqueous acidities of...
Nitrogen is a contaminant of niobium and tantalum adversely
affecting the workability of the metal. With recent interest in the
refractory metals, one problem the chemical analyst must solve
is the accurate determination of nitrogen in niobium and tantalum
at very low levels. The usual method of assaying for nitrogen...
Purpose of Study:
The purpose of this study was to find the specific qualifications
of a programmer in order that counselors and educators can better
advise students who are interested in electronic data processing for
career purposes. The information received from the data processing
companies will offer some criteria on...
A new method for determining ion exchange equilibrium
data by liquid scintillation counting of the equilibrated solution
phase is described. This method has been applied to determine
equilibria between Dowex 50W X8, a commercial strong cation exchange
resin, and binary and ternary solution containing the varying combinations
of H⁺¹, Cs⁺¹,...
A countercurrent, liquid-solids contactor was constructed,
operated and evaluated for a continuous ion-exchange operation.
The exchange of cupric and sodium ions between aqueous solutions
and Dowex 50W-X8 ion exchange resin was studied.
The countercurrent contactor consisted of two, three-inch
diameter columns with active sections ranging from one to four feet...
Temporal variations in individual spectrum lines
emitted by a microwave discharge in pure helium are
investigated: The discharge is produced in a quartz tube
located inside of a section of waveguide which carries
pulsed 3 centimeter microwaves. The helium used is purified by a three-fold process consisting of treatment with...
The respiratory tract is lined with a mucous blanket which is
motivated by a ciliated epithelium. This blanket includes a lower
serous layer of fluid through which the cilia beat and an upper viscid
layer into which particulates from the inhaled air are deposited.
The movement of the mucous blanket...
Submicron particulate (mean size of 0.52 microns) was filtered
from air at substantially atmospheric temperature and pressure by
passing air up through a bed of fluidized glass shot in a two inch column.
Removal efficiency, defined as the percentage removal of
particulate from the air stream, was essentially constant during...
The removal of ozone from an air stream by activated-cocoanut
charcoal was investigated from the literature and experimentally.
The experimental investigation showed that activated-cocoanut charcoal
can be used to remove concentrations of ozone less than 1.0
ppm with high efficiencies. The mechanism of the ozone removal
appeared to be a...
