TL;DR: In this paper, the results obtained from a series of very high time resolution concentration measurements conducted in neutral conditions over flat terrain using spec It is evident that risk/hazard analyses based on time mean concentrations distributions can at best be misleading and at worst result in serious undere

TL;DR: The design criteria for two pretreatment facilities were prepared based on the results of the pilot plant evaluation and transmitted to the Army Corps of Engineers who constructed the facilities at RAAP as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The literature on the spread and vaporisation of cryogenic liquids on water is reviewed and a new model is proposed in this article, which incorporates the features o T001. List of symbols Symbols C p Heat capacity.

TL;DR: The first commercial Wetox system has been installed at a chemical company in Ontario in the spring of 1982 as mentioned in this paper, which is being designed to treat about 1,000 waste streams.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of low concentrations of dissolved carbon dioxide (carbazic acid) on the rate of decomposition of hydrazine, in both stainless steel and glass vessels, has been investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a commercially available proton precession magnetometer (PPM) was used to investigate the detection of containers buried in a prescribed manner at a prescribed way at a typical dump site.

TL;DR: Flame propagation for gas mixtures of different reactivity in an obstacle environment made up of a bottom plate with regularly spaced flames has been studied in this paper, where it is shown that the flame propagation can be achieved in an arbitrary number of hops.

TL;DR: A numerical technique for identifying and locating a specific groundwater pollution source using data from a small number of monit after description of the technique, a hypothetical problem is solved illustrating the computational procedure as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the rate of evaporation from two typical configurations of cryogenic liquid spills on a solid homogeneous surface, and show that only a small fraction of the liquid can be evapolated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used thermochemical calculations and burning rate estimates to identify promising deterrent/base propellant combinations, including five candidates which exhibit a decrease in burning rate with no decrease in propellant energy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a microcalorimetric method is used for compatibility and stability studies, where four independent calorimeters with a short thermal relaxation time, high sensitivity and excellent baseline stability are placed in a common, precisely thermostated water bath.

TL;DR: The concept and selection of Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents (POHC) is an important part of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as discussed by the authors, which is responsible for the selection of POHC candidates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study of the very-low-frequency electromagnetic (VLF-EM) method was undertaken at a single field site where a prescribed distribution of bur Results indicated that the technique will undoubtedly detect and delineate any typical dump site with predominantly metal (usually steel) drums.

TL;DR: In this article, a commercially available metal detector was used to detect buried steel drums, in a variety of patterns, at a site consisting of relatively dry sand, at most hazardous materials dump sites.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe recent LNG safety research activities in the United States, which have been sponsored by the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection and the Environmental Protection Agency.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a survey of the hazardous wastes generated by the industrial sector of the United States' economy are presented and a method is also presented for building the results from waste generation surveys into hazardous waste management models.

TL;DR: The Environmental Protection Agency's EP Toxicity Test has been applied to smelter slags containing dissolved arsenic concentrations up to 23.50 per cent as mentioned in this paper, which is the highest known concentration.

TL;DR: A chronology of events which took place during the 1981 cleanup efforts, comments upon the variety of problems encountered and d The cleanup of unauthorized hazardous waste sites presents varied operational and environmental problems as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The outer and the fractured surfaces of hot-pressed Al/Cu 2 O pellets were investigated by scanning Auger microscopy (SAM) as mentioned in this paper, showing the existence of carbon, chlorine, oxygen, and sodium as contaminants.

TL;DR: In the current dialogue surrounding drives at state and federal levels to ban the use of landfills for certain hazardous wastes, it is easy to lose track of the real world.

TL;DR: Etude comparative des accidents dus au stockage des produits dangereux et au procede lui-meme as discussed by the authors is presented in Table 1 : 1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of different types of extruders for the production of gun propellants by solvent processes is discussed. But the results of this process consist of extruded strands possessing a high density and an excellent surface, especially for single base propellants produced by use of the countercurrent operating twin-screw extruder.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Accelerating Rate Calorimetry (ARC) to investigate the thermal stabilities of energetic materials used in production and manufacturing at MRC-Mound.

TL;DR: In this article, a new explosive based on eutectic blends of ammonium nitrate with ethylenediamine dinitrate and its homologues was developed.
