Book Description
Development of an effective spill response plan for liquid propellant/LP XM46 (LP) required an understanding of the potential interactions between soil and the propellant. Studies were designed to characterize potential hazards of initial contact of LP with soil, runoff, infiltration, transport and sorption rates of spilled LP, and effects of LP on soil microflora. An analytical method for determining LP components in soils and water was also developed. Initial contact of LP with soil resulted in LP decomposition which was often visible, but not violent. No noxious gases were detected. Soil pH dropped and nitrate/nitrite-nitrogen increased significantly. Runoff and infiltration rates of LP in soils approximated those of water. Contact with LP mimicked the effects of 1.0N nitric acid on soil microflora; the soil was sterilized within 1 hour of contact. Two of the greatest potential environmental hazards of LP spills are low soil pH and leaching of nitrate to groundwater. Analytical methods, Soil microbiology, Liquid propellant, Soil sorption.

Biodegradation Technology Developments
Author: Robert L. Irvine
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781566765305
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 742
Book Description
FROM THE INTRODUCTION This three-volume series, Bioremediation: Principles and Practice, provides state of the art description of advances in pollution treatment and reduction using biological means; identify and address, at a fundamental level, broad scientific and technological areas that are unique to the subject or theme and that must be understood if advances are to be made; and provide a comprehensive overview of new developments at the regulatory, desk-top, bench-scale, pilot scale, and full-scale levels. The series covers all media-air, water, and soil/sediment-and blends the talents, knowledge, and know-how of academic, industrial, governmental, and international contributors. The series addresses the removal of both hazardous and nonhazardous contaminants from the liquid, solid, and gas phase using biological processes. This includes the biological treatment of wastes of municipal and industrial origin; bioremediation of leachates, soils, and sediments; and biofiltration for contaminated gases.

Karl Fischer Titration
Author: Eugen Scholz
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642699898
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
The Karl Fischer titration is used in many different ways following its publication in 1935 and further applications are continually being explored. At the present time we are experiencing another phase of expansion, as shown by the development of new titration equipment and new reagents. KF equipment increasingly incorporates microprocessors which enable the course of a titration to be programmed thus sim plifying the titration. Coulometric titrators allow water determinations in the micro gram-range: the KF titration has become a micro-method. The new pyridine-free re agents make its application significantly more pleasant and open up further possibili ties on account of their accuracy. To make the approach to Karl Fischer titrations easier, we have summarized the present knowledge in this monograph and we have complemented it with our own studies and practical experience. As this book should remain "readable", we have tried to keep the fundamentals to a minimum. Historical developments are only mentioned if they seem to be necessary for understanding the KF reaction. The ap plications are described more fully. Specific details which may interest a particular reader can be found in the original publications cited. The referenced literature is in chronological order as the year of publication may also prove informative. Thus, [6902] for example denotes 69 for 1969 being the year of publication and 02 is a non-recurring progressive number. The referenced litera ture includes summaries which we hope will be of help to find the "right" publica tion easily.

ISBN: 9783034805261
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
Biological O2 sensing probes and measurement techniques were first introduced in the late 80s. In the last 3-5 years they have undergone major development that have made them available and affordable for a broad range of applications in various disciplines of the life and biomedical sciences. These new chemistries and technologies, which are significantly different from the majority of other fluorescence-based probes and detection techniques, have already demonstrated their high utility. This book will provide a systematic overview of the existing and emerging O2 sensing technologies in their different modifications, a practical guide to their rational selection and use, and examples of biological applications/case studies, including details on how to set up and conduct such experiments, troubleshoot and interpret the data.
