Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Oata Analysis and Synthesis (CINOAS) * at Purdue. University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 33 (thesis year 1988) a total of 13,273 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 1 85 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 33 reports theses submitted in 1988, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project is devoted to the development of an innovative technique for the disposal of mixed waste utilizing microwave energy. Because most uranium and plutonium components as well as most fission products have dielectric properties that allow excellent microwave and high-frequency energy coupling, dielectric heating has the potential for application in many processes for treating hazardous wastes. This technology, whether used on its own or as hybrid in conjunction with a conventional process, has positive features, such as energy efficiency. increased throughput, volume reduction, and reduction of disposal and transportation cost, and provides a technique not feasible by conventional means. The hazardous waste will be converted into a dense, stable, and vitrified form so that it may qualify for eventual off-site disposal. If successful, this program will lead to major cost saving for the DOE system.

Book excerpt: Applications using microwave energy in the chemical processing industry have increased within the last ten years. Recently, interest in waste treatment applications process development, especially solidification, has grown. Microwave waste processing offers many advantages over conventional waste treatment technologies. These advantages include a high density, leach resistant, robust waste form, volume and toxicity reduction, favorable economics, in-container treatment, good public acceptance, isolated equipment, and instantaneous energy control. The results from the {open_quotes}cold{close_quotes} demonstration scale testing at the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons facility are described. Preliminary results for a transuranic (TRU) precipitation sludge indicate that volume reductions of over 80% are achievable over the current immobilization process. An economic evaluation performed demonstrated cost savings of $11.68 per pound compared to the immobilization process currently in use on wet sludge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microwaves can be effectively used in the processing of industrial materials under a wide range of conditions. However, microwave processing is complex and multidisciplinary in nature, and a high degree of technical knowledge is needed to determine how, when, and where the technology can be most profitably utilized. This book assesses the potential of microwave technology for industrial applications, reviews the latest equipment and processing methods, and identifies both the gaps in understanding of microwave processing technology and the promising development opportunities that take advantage of this new technology's unique performance characteristics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of microwave technology to treat hazardous wastes has been in progress at NJIT for the past three years. The initial stages of this program have focused on determining the' breadth of hazardous waste problems that are amenable to microwave technology applications. Benchscale studies have shown the following processes are technically possible: a. It is possible to steam strip organic volatiles from soil; b. Volatiles can be destroyed by impact upon lossy so lids c. Heavy metal ions can be immobilized in soil; d. It is possible to regenerate GAC on-site. e. It is possible to pyrolyze polyarmotic compounds in soil in-site, and, thereby, effect decontamination. In this thesis, it has been shown that a relatively nonvolatile compound like naphthalene can be steam-stripped from soil; that the incident microwave energy penetrates the soil; that for volatile compounds are difficult to quantify effects; that in a comparison of microwave to incineration based upon economic and other considerations. It is concluded that microwave can play an potentially significant role in the clean up at contaminated soil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The off-site regeneration of granulated activated charcoal(GAC), spent as a result of stripping of organics from aqueous waste streams, represents a burdensome cost both because of the actual cost of regeneration and legal liability associated with shipping a hazardous waste off-site: that liability is reflected in huge potential costs associated with mishaps enroute for the self-insured or high premiums paid to the casualty insurance companies for those generators that are insured by third parties. Thus there is a need for the development of a process to effect on-site regeneration of spent GAC cost-effectively. This thesis mainly focuses on the technical feasibility of microwave treatment to effect regeneration of GAC. This study has shown that microwave treatment of spent GAC can effect the on-site regeneration in a potentially cost-effective process. The regeneration of GAC with an adsorbed organic compound was studied. The compound was a toxic dye, namely, methylene blue. This is a polyaromatic compound containing chlorine, sulfur, and nitrogen atoms. It is a chloride salt. it is non-volatile and decomposes at 190°C. Our experiments showed that GAC with methylene blue adsorbed can be regenerated up to 100%; thus, even when a non-volatile compound is adsorbed on GAC, microwave technology can effect regeneration. The regeneration is effected utilizing microwave technology in a manner consistent with its application on-site, scaled-up. The regenerability of spent GAC was investigated for three successive cycles of adsorption and regeneration. The results showed a good regeneration capacity, even at the end of fourth adsorption and, on an average, 98.2% removal of the adsorbed organic was achieved by microwave treatment. The process appears to proceed by the following stages: water in the GAC pores are directly heated up by the microwaves leading to volatilization; the steam, thus formed, forces the air out of the pores creating an inert atmosphere; the GAC, a strong microwave energy absorber, heats the organic to its pyrolysis temperature; the pyrolyzed organic fuses into the GAC skeleton. This mechanism explains the observed results. More importantly, this mechanism suggests that the most intractable soil contaminants, namely, dioxins and PCBs, can be treated by microwave technology. Assuming that soil and GAC behave similarly, it is possible that the aforementioned contaminants which are polyaromatic compounds will pyrolyze. This investigation is suggested, but not undertaken, in this thesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hazardous waste is a waste with properties that make it dangerous or potentially harmful to human health or the environment. Hazardous waste generally exhibits one or more of these characteristics: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity or toxicity. The universe of hazardous wastes is large and diverse. Hazardous wastes can be liquids, solids, contained gases, or sludges. They can be the by-products of manufacturing processes or simply discarded commercial products, like cleaning fluids or pesticides. One major type is radioactive waste. This book brings together the latest research in this diverse field.
