Stabilization and Solidification of Elemental Mercury for Safe Disposal and/or Long-Term Storage

the effects of keyword and context methods on pronunciation and receptive/ productive vocabulary of low-intermediate iranian efl learners: short-term and long-term memory in focus

از گذشته تا کنون، تحقیقات بسیاری صورت گرفته است که همگی به گونه ای بر مثمر ثمر بودن استفاده از استراتژی های یادگیری لغت در یک زبان بیگانه اذعان داشته اند. این تحقیق به بررسی تاثیر دو روش مختلف آموزش واژگان انگلیسی (کلیدی و بافتی) بر تلفظ و دانش لغوی فراگیران ایرانی زیر متوسط زبان انگلیسی و بر ماندگاری آن در حافظه می پردازد. به این منظور، تعداد شصت نفر از زبان آموزان ایرانی هشت تا چهارده ساله با...

Evaluation of Cs/Sr Waste Form for Long Term Storage and Disposal

The goal of this project is to examine the potential long term performance of the proposed aluminosilicate waste/storage form for the isolation and eventual direct disposal of the cesium and strontium separated from recycled nuclear fuel. In the first phase of this work, researchers will investigate the sintering procedure to prepare the drum-like aluminosilicate waste/storage form from the as-...

Safe and simple method for the disposal of mercury-containing wastes from Kjeldahl analyses.

Elemental Mercury Spills

Sources of elemental mercury (Hg0) include old natural gas regulators, manometers, sphygmomanometers, thermometers, and thermostats. Causes of Hg0 spills include improper storage, container breakage, children playing with Hg0, the breakage of devices containing Hg0, and ritualistic use of Hg0. Inhalation is the primary exposure route for Hg0. Mercury released into the environment can enter lake...

Testing Stabilization/solidification Processes for Mixed Waste

Stabilization/Solidification technologies reduce the mobility of hazardous and radioactive contaminants in the environment through both physical and chemical processes. Four stabilization/solidification (S/S) processes were used to solidify three sample matrices contaminated with arsenic, chromium (VI), lead, cesium and strontium. These sample matrices were Idaho National Engineering and Enviro...
