Ammonium diuranate precipitation with anhydrous ammonia /

Ammonium diuranate has been precipitated from nitric acid solutions by the addition of anhydrous ammonia on both laboratory and production scales. This process produced more dense and more rapidly filtered precipitates than those formed by the addition of aqueous ammonia or slurried calcium hydroxide. The filtrates from the anhydrous ammonia process were lower in uranium content than those obtained by the addition of the other reagents. Processing equipment and precipitate characteristics are discussed.

Simulation study of ammonia adsorption on graphitized carbon black

GCMC simulations are applied to the adsorption of sub-critical ammonia on graphitized carbon black at 240 K. The carbon black was modelled both with and without carbonyl functional groups. Large differences are seen between the amount adsorbed for different carbonyl configurations at low pressure (P < 10kPa). Once a single layer is formed on the carbon black, the adsorption behaviour is similar between the model surfaces with and without functional groups. Simulation isotherms are qualitatively similar to the few experimental isotherms available in the literature for ammonia on highly graphitized carbon black. The mode of adsorption up to monolayer coverage is exhaustively shown to be two-dimensional clustering using various techniques. A comparison between experiment and simulation isosteric heats shows that a surface without functional groups cannot reproduce the experimental isosteric heats of adsorption, even comparing with the experimental results of carbon black heat treated at 3373 K. The addition of carbonyls produces isosteric heats with similar features to those in the literature if the separation between the carbonyls is small.

Differential distribution of ammonia- and nitrite-oxidising bacteria in flocs and granules from a nitrifying/denitrifying sequencing batch reactor

A lab-scale sequencing batch reactor was operated with alternating anoxic/aerobic conditions for nitrogen removal. Flocs and granules co-existed in the same reactor, with distinct aggregate structure and size, for over 180 days of reactor operation' Process data showed complete nitrogen removal, with temporary nitrite accumulation before full depletion of ammonia in the aerobic phase. Microbial quantification of the biomass by fluorescence in situ hybridisation showed that granules contained most of the nitrite-oxidising bacteria (NOB) whereas the ammonium-oxidising bacteria (AOB) seemed to be more abundant in the flocs. This was supported by microsensor measurements, which showed a higher potential of NO2- uptake than NH4 uptake in the granules. The segregation is possibly linked to the different growth rates of the two types of nitrifiers and the reactor operational conditions, which produced different sludge retention time for flocs and granules. The apparent physical separation of AOB and NOB in two growth forms could potentially affect mass transfer of NO2- from AOB to NOB, but the data presented here shows that it did not impact negatively on the overall nitrogen removal.
