Liquid-dominated hydrothermal reservoirs, which contain saline fluids at high temperatures and pressures, have a significant potential for contamination of the environment by heavy metals. The design of the power conversion cycle in a liquid-dominated geothermal plant is a key factor in determining the impact of the installation. Reinjection of the fluid into the reservoir minimizes heavy metal...

Beverly Rubik July 18, 2012 A Pilot Study Raw milk is a colloid, in which fat globules of various sizes are dispersed within a watery phase of dissolved proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, electrolytes and minerals, along with low levels of probiotic bacteria such as lactobacillus. The purpose of this pilot study is to examine whole milk—raw and processed— to look for any differences in its coll...

9 ABSTRACT | The development of a thermochemical energy 10 storage system based on ammonia, for use with concentrating 11 solar power is discussed in this paper. This is one of a group of 12 storage options for concentrating solar power, some of which 13 are already operating commercially using molten salts. The 14 ammonia storage development has involved prototype solar 15 receiver/reactors op...

Since Priestley utilized the radiant energy of the sun with his burning glass in his famous experiment of 1774, the method has fallen into disuse and the chemist has accepted the water-bath, the hot-air oven, and the furnace as the standard tools for evaporation, drying, and combustion. The boiling water-bath is used for evaporating solutions or drying solids which decompose at temperatures sli...

Black liquor is the residue from the kraft paper pulp process and consists, mainly, of water, lignin, organic residues from cellulose and hemicelluloses and inorganic matter (mostly sodium, potassium and sulfur). Before any combustion or gasification, the dry content of the black liquor is increased, typically from 14-18% to 75-80%, to permit autogenous combustion and high conversion efficiency...

Raw milk is a colloid, in which fat globules of various sizes are dispersed within a watery phase of dissolved proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, electrolytes and minerals, along with low levels of probiotic bacteria such as lactobacillus. The purpose of this pilot study is to examine whole milk – raw and processed – to look for any differences in its colloidal structure that can be seen using ...
