Phosphate and fluoride removal options for Hanford high‐level waste sludge processing

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐phosphate and high‐fluoride sludges represent some of the most challenging waste streams within the Hanford High‐Level Waste (HLW) inventory due to solubility constraints, impacts on glass loading, and corrosion risks during vitrification.

The role of biofilms in subsurface transport processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Landfill and radioactive waste disposal risk assessments focus on contaminant transport and are principally concerned with understanding the movement of gas, water and solutes through engineered barriers and natural groundwater systems.

Robust Control Using a Matrix Converter to Enhance Wind Turbine Systems

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study uses a more efficient and effective solution to improve the operational performance of a wind turbine‐based power system. This system uses a doubly fed induction generator and relies on a matrix converter and fractional‐order proportional–integral controller.

Baseline radiological environmental monitoring and impact assessment of radioactive waste storage facilities in Thailand

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology
Radiation monitoring was conducted at two sites of the RWSF in Thailand. The activity concentration of tritium was assessed in the surface water, while gross alpha/beta radioactivity levels were measured additionally in soil and sediment.

The Victims of NIMBY [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Not In My Back Yard, or NIMBY, in its various forms, has three principal types of targets. The first is waste disposal facilities, primarily landfills and incinerators. The second is low-income housing.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

High-density support matrices: Key to the deep borehole disposal of spent nuclear fuel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Deep (4–5 km) boreholes are emerging as a safe, secure, environmentally sound and potentially cost-effective option for disposal of high-level radioactive wastes, including plutonium.

Microporous Self‐Assembled Pd(II) Tetrahedral Cages for Rapid and Reversible Multi‐Phase Sequestration of Iodine and Methyl Iodide

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This work reports a family of microporous, self‐assembled tetrahedral coordination cages that efficiently capture iodine, polyiodides, and methyl iodide from vapor, aqueous, and organic media. The cages display exceptional uptake capacities, rapid kinetics, and high selectivity, enabling the first dynamic vapor‐phase iodine capture by coordination ...

Electrochemical performance and efficiency of novel copper hexacyanoferrate/graphitic carbon nitride composites for the removal of 137Cs

open access: yesElectrochemistry Communications
This study investigates the use of a novel composite material, synthesized from melamine, urea, and thiourea derived graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) by ultrasonication method, for the electrochemical adsorption of ...
