16 Abot acu
The metabolic fate of aldicarb, carbaryl, and carbofuran was investigated in a variety
of biological systems. In addition, the effects of other insectiicdes and certain
monoamine oxidase inhibitors on carbaryl metabolism in rats was studied. The fate of
3-hydroxy carbofuran, its glucoside and glucuronide, and naphthyl glucoside in rats
was determined. Using 1-naphthol as a model compound, in vitro methods were developed1
to study mechanisms of glycosylation in insects and mammals. The glucosides of 4- and
5-hydroxy carbaryl were prepared chemically and their acute triv-icity to mice compared
to the aglycones. Results of these studies showed that carbamate insecticides are
metabolized initially by hydrolytic- and oxidative-type reactions and the resulting
products are then almost totally conjugated. These conjugated products constitute the
majority of the terminal residues of carbamates in both animals and plants.

Odors emitted during thickening of raw and secondary sludge have been responsible for
adverse criticism at many sewage treatment plants . This study was undertaken to
identify typical odor causing substances and evaluate selected conventional methods for
controlling or eliminating these substances„ A styrofoam dome covering a sludge
thickener was utilized to control atmospheric conditions and concentrate odors.
Field collected vapor samples were analyzed using gas chromatography techniques0
Analyses using both polar and nonpolar column material indicated that the major odor
causing compounds were mercaptans anl mines. Other compounds which were minor contri-
butors to odor were aldehydes, alcohols, and organic acids.
Odor control methods selected for study included air dilution, activated carbon
adsorption, and chlorine oxidation,, Air dilution using cyclic operation of an exhaust
fan was found to be an effective means of odor control when outside atmospheric condi-
tions were conducive to odor dissipation. Passing vapors through activated carbon
filters was not completely effective in odor control since a detectible residual odor
remained. A 1.5 mg/1 solution of chlorine was effective in removing all odors from
vapor samples bubbled through the solution#

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in conjunction
with the New York State Department of Environmental Conser-
vation conducted three one-day seminars on the problem of wet-
weather flow pollution abatement. Many facets of the problem
were considered including a brief overview of its magnitude
and what the federal government is doing to manage and control
this source of pollution. Various management, control, and
treatment techniques were described and the most up-to-date
information on design and economics was presented. The audi-
ence consisted of consulting and municipal engineers from all
areas of New York State.
This publication is a compilation of the papers presented
at the seminar , November 29, 1972, January 3, 1973, and February
1, 1973.

16. Abstracts
The design and operating parameters of attached biological growths on
closely spaced rotating disks (RED) alternately submerged in sewage and air
were studied. The 8 gpm pilot plant consisted of two components. The first
component had 10 sequential stages. Each stage consisted of 48 3-ft diameter
disks. This unit was used to oxidize the carbonaceous matter and the amnonia,,
The effluent from this component was then treated by a series of rotating
illuminated disks with attached algae for the purpose of nutrient removal.
With the RBD system the oxidation of carbonaceous material occurred first
followed by oxidation of the nitrogenous compounds. The author used this fact
to determine the oxidation rate of the carbonaceous matter and also to do
experiments where both carbon and nitrogen oxidation stages were enriched with
oxygen. The improvements made in the oxidation rates were considerable.

"> Physical-chemical treatment of raw wastewater consisted of two-stage lime
clarification with intermediate recarbonation, filtration, pH control, ion exchange
or breakpoint chlorination, and carbon adsorption. Lime treatment with approximately
300 mg/1 of CaO increased the wastewater pH to 11.5 and removed 96% of the phosphorus
and 80% of the organics. In the second stage, recarbonation with 120 mg/1 of CO? and
mineral addition of 5 mg/1 of Fe+++ reduced the pH to 10.0 and precipitated excess Ca++
as CaC03« Dual media filtration decreased effluent suspended solids and total phosphorus
to less than 5 mg/1 and 0.15 mg/1 as P, respectively. Addition of 10 mg/1 chlorine to
the filter influent controlled biological growth within the filter and produced filter
runs of greater than 50 hours. With extensive operator surveillance, the clinoptilolite
exchange media reduced the NH3 to less than 1 mg/1 as NH4-N. Breakpoint chlorination
oxidized the NH3 to Ng, leaving a residual NHo-N concentration of less than 0.4 mg/1.
The 20 mg/1 of soluble BOD entering the granular carbon columns produced anaerobic
biological growth on the carbon, which contributed to heavy HgS production and high
carbon losses during backwash. Breakpoint chlorination ahead of carbon adsorption
minimized biological activity.
The complete physical-chemical system, with ion exchange, removed 98% of
the phosphorus, 95% of the organics (COD) and 78% of the total nitrogen. With
breakpoint chlorination, the complete system removed 98% of the phosphorus, 94% of the
organics (COD) and 86% of the total nitrogen.

Activated sludge floes suspended in wet mounts on microscope slides were
observed to sprout, finger-like, bacterial zoogloeae as a consequence of the
outgrowth of bacteria from floes. The rate of extension of finger-like zoogloeae
was typically 5.1 to 15,0 )Jm per hr and mean cell doubling time was estimated
to be approximately 2 hrs. Photomicrographic and fluorescent antibody studies
revealed that the bacterial zoogloeae consisted of the progeny of specific
zoogloea-forming bacteria. Purified exopolymers of Zoogloea strains and domestic
activated sludge contained two amino sugars, one of which was identified as
glucosamine. Zoogloea exopolymer was not fibrilar or cellulosic and contained
approximately 17 to 19 per cent amino sugar and about one percent hexoses,
uronic acids and ether soluble substances on a dry weight of polymer basis.
Amino sugar production was found to parallel zoogloea formation by Zoogloea
sp. Calcium ion appeared to augment flocculation of bacterial cells capable
of undergoing natural coalescence. Two cell types, described as rough and
smooth colony-forming, were found in some strains of Zoogloea. Rough cells
readily flocculated in agitated cultures whereas smooth cells produced
relatively turbid cultures under similar growth conditions. A predominance
of one of the two types could influence the degree of flocculation by
Zoogloea cultures.

All existing facilities of the El Lago, Texas 1,135 cu m/day plant were utilized in the
advanced treatment design. The processes in operation control phosphorus by metal]ic
salt addition to the primary settler, carbonaceous removal by trickling filters,
nitrification by a second-stage suspended growth reactor, nitrogen removal by attached
growth column denitrification, and tertiary solids removal by granular media filLration
These processes are operated in series. Effluent residuals are as follows:
BOD ^10 mg/1
COD AO mg/1
SS ^ 5 mg/1
TP 3 mg/1
TN 2 mg/1
An evaluation program is now in progress to slightly modify operation to produce lower
residuals, and determine process variability.

The primary objective of this projecL was to demonstrate the feasibility and
economic practicability of chemical removal of phosphorus from municipal wastewdter
in the 44 r^,d ( 166,500 m^; activated sludge plant at Grand Rapids, Michigan. The
full-scale system for chemical phosphorus removal was implemented lo meet water
qua] ity criteria established by the £>tate of Michigan. Ferric chlorine and polymej.
flocculant \:cic introduced into the raw wastewater flow by automated systems. During
the perjod of best performance when split dosage of chemicals was employed, residual
phosphorus concentrations of less than 1 mg/J could be obLamed. Total phosphorus
concentrations in the final effluent were related to final clarifier overflow rates.
The nature of the chemically precipitated sludge evolved by the process was also
evaluated relative to further chemical conditioning, vacuum filtration and
incineration.

This paper describes the planning, conduction, and results related to a
joint government-industry funded warm water use project near Springfield, Oregon.
The five year project which ended in May 1973, was sponsored by the Eugene, Oregon,
Water and Electric Board with partial support provided by the Environmental
Protection Agency. Other key participants included seven farmers owning a
total of 170 acres of land comprising the actual study site, Automation Industries
for Project Management, and a Weyerhauser, Inc., Pulp and Paper Mill which
supplied the warm condenser cooling water.
Conclusions of the demonstration project indicate that the greatest
potential benefit of waste heat use for the agricultural applications studied
are in the area of greenhouse soil heating. Monetary benefits from industrial
waste heat appear achievable through proper management.

This report presents the results of a study on the efficacy of a new blanching system,
Individual Quick Blanching (IQB), as applied to vegetables prior to canning. Peas,
corn, lima beans, green beans, potatoes, carrots and beets were adequately blanched by
IQB. Compared to deep bed steam blanching or pipe blanching, IQB generally resulted
in a significant reduction in effluent. Alight drying of the vegetables before IQB
reduced effluent even more; however, product quality was adversely affected in most
cases. It was demonstrated that the IQB process can significantly reduce effluent
volume and BOD generation in the blanching operation while adequately fulfilling the
objectives of blanching. Commercial application of IQB appears economically favorable

16. Abstracts A pilot plant study of a process to recover the volatile constituents of the
condensate derived from the evaporation of a sulfite spent wood pulping liquor has been
made. The data from this one-year evaluation confirm prior work demonstrating that
recovery of sulfur dioxide, furfural, methanol, and acetic acid (in the form of ethyl
acetate) will yield reusable and salable materials, and provide either 60 or 90% BOD
reduction on the condensate depending on whether the condensate is contaminated by ^
using it as wash liquor.
The work reported covers four major sections:
1. Assay of condensate samples from supporting mills,
2. Operation and data of a pilot system comprising steam stripping, activated carbon
adsorption, and factional distillation, tcontinued on next page

Assays of the condensate samples indicated a large variation in condensates from
different mills which would necessitate tailoring of the complete process to the
individual mill.
Operation of the pilot system, an extension of work previously done at the Scott Paper
company, has shown that the above-mentioned materials can be recovered as relatively
pure products. Mass and heat balances, recoverable product values, and credits for
BOD^ removal combine to show the process to the individual mill.

credits for BODr removal combine to show the process to be a favorable avenue for the
elimination of the pollution potential of the sulfite condensate waste.
The low temperature regeneration of carbon was an extension of work previously perforned
at the Institute of Paper Chemistry. This approach continues to be of interest and is
considered to be technically feasible. However, all attempts to use the principles
and equipment for electrical induction heating, as developed at the Lowell Technolo-
, gical Institute, failed due to mechanical design problems encountered in the pilot
trials and which could not be developed and corrected within the time and funding

This report is concerned with modification of the amperometric titration method
for chlorine residuals to cooling tower blowdowns or other water systems with a
high degree of metal ion content along with other dissolved and suspended solids.
The addition of sodium pyrophosphate as a blanket complexing agent appears to
remove successfully the heavy metals interferences contributed by Fe and Cu in
the blowdown matrix.
Procedure recommendations are made to Increase the efficiency of both sampling
and the actual titration procedure in order to allow a residual determination in
the minimum amount of time. Equipment recommendations along with a design of a
biamperometric endpoint system which allows greater titration speed along with
portability are described.

Elevated temperature acid cracking combined with pilot activated sludge and lagoon
treatment were utilized to treat effluent wastewater from a woolen processing plant.
Efflueant from woolen "top" (raw wool scouring) making is very high in "biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and suspended solids (SS)
(l8,990 ppm, 60,600 ppm, and 37,600 ppm, respectively). The chemical/physical
system consisted of a hot acid-cracking process to reduce the grease content in the
influent to the biological system. Average grease reductions were from 13,^00
milligrams per liter (mg/L) to 120 mg/L or 99 percent with a BOD reduction of 70
percent and COD reduction of 80 percent. The biological system consisted of a pilot
extended aeration activated-sludge unit with clarification and retention in a pilot
facultative lagoon (53 days' retention). Typical BOD and COD reductions in the acti-
vated sludge/clarification unit were 83 percent and percent, respectively, and in
lagoon 56 percent and 5^ percent, respectively.

Experimental point source oil releases have been conducted in the Chesapeake
Bay mouth area. Predictions of oil slick motion were tested, and slicks were sampled
and analyzed to measure their aging rates over periods up to 32 hours. Remote sen-
sing techniques were used to detect and measure the spreading rate of oil. Some
laboratory oil film aging experiments were done to further document and elucidate
aging processes. Results indicate a reasonable motion prediction, an explanation
of the non-biological initial aging of oil films, and a fair corroboration of a
theoretical oil spreading model.
Indigenous surface films in the study area were analyzed for lipid and chlori-
nated hydrocarbon content. Hydrocarbons were 300-500 microgram per liter and fatty
acids and esters 700-7800 microgram per liter in surface film samples. Chlorinated
hydrocarbons were generally less than 100 parts per trillion in surface films, in
contrast to some earlier high concentrations found in Biscayne Bay. Surface film
analysis limitations imposed by sampling methods are discussed. Plankton in slick,
non-slick, and subsurface water were counted. Populations were higher in surface
than subsurface water, and higher in non-slick than in slicked surface water.

16. Abstracts The report describes a comprehensive particle size measurement program
conducted at a coal-fired electric generating plant early in 1973. It also includes
information obtained from other field tests and laboratory work. The primary part-
icle size range of interest is from 0.2 to 2.0 fim diameter, but techniques are also
evaluated for measuring larger particles. Inertial classification is the basic sizing
technique considered. Among the 11 different commercial and modified sizing devices
evaluated are: Andersen Models n, m, and IV; Battelle CIS-6; Brink BMS-11: Mc-
Crone; TAG; and University of Washington Mark m. The program is part of a project
to devise and evaluate various techniques for field measurements of the fractional
efficiency of particulate control devices.

The report discusses fluidized-bed combustion (FBC) as a means of
removing from the gas phase nearly all of the atmospheric pollutants (sulfur and
nitrogen compounds) generated during the combustion of fossil fuels. Particulate
lime solids (additives) are introduced into the fluidized bed and react with the sulfur
compound formed during combustion. It discusses: pollution control by FBC of oil
with an excess of air and by the combustion of coal with a deficiency of air; the
thermodynamics of several proposed processes for regenerating additives; and
regeneration of sulfur-containing additive by the two most promising processes—
a opq-step reductive decomposition of CaS04 and a two-step (reduction-C02/H20
regeneration) procedure.

i6. Abstractsrep0rt describes and presents initial results of testing a prototype wet-
lime/limestone scrubbing facility for removing S02 and particulates from flue gases.
The facility consists of three parallel scrubbers--a venturi/spray tower, a Turbulent
Contact Absorber (TCA), and a marble-bed scrubber--each able to treat a 10-Mw
equivalent (30,000 acfm) of flue gas from a coal-fired boiler at TVA's Shawnee
Station. Na2C03 tests were completed in 7/72. As of 6/73, short-term (less than 1
day) limestone factorial tests were e:~entially complete, and longer term (2+ week)
reliability verification tests were 50Go complete. Long-term (4-10 momh) limestoiv:
tests and initial lime tests are scheduled to begin 9/73. The short-term limestone
tests, conducted at high scrubber inlet liquor pH (6.0-6.2). saw S02 removals of 30
(venturi/spray tower and marble-bed scrubber) to 9G',o (TCA). Initial longer term
tests were run at reduced stoichiometrics to increase system reliability and lime-
stone utilization. For the TCA, limestone]
utilization was 83% with S02 removal of
80-85%. Operability and reliability of the
scrubbers for these tests were good.

16. Abstracts
As petroleum refining has developed in recent years into one of the leading industries
of the nation, with a growth rate of 4 to 8 percent annually, air pollution problems
have increased, though the corporations involved have, as a result of research,
produced control methods for some of the pollutants. The principal emissions from
refining operations are sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, particulates, •
carbon monoxide, and odors. The estimated emissions of these pollutants (except for
odor per se) at the 262 refineries operating in the United States in 1969 totaled 7.0-1-
million tons with substantial control excercised only in the case of hydrocarbons,
particulates, and carbon monoxide. In accordance with guidelines proposed by the 'J. S.
Environmental Protection Agency for emissions from refinery operations, oil companies,
working in conjunction .nth trade organizations and equipment manufacturers, have
employed interim controls in many cases and have developed processes and devices for
at least reducing all pollutants from refineries.

16. Abstracts rep0rt gives results of the development of a technique for size-
selective, high-capacity particulate sampling to be used in measuring and
characterizing the particles in the wet-scrubbing process for SOx control. It
provides information on both wet-scrubbing system process variables, and the
efficiency of scrubbers to be used at the TVA test station. The sampler, existing as
a manually operated bench-scale prototype, is capable not only of fractionating the
particles in the desired range, but also of tolerating the process stream environment.
A preliminary evaluation indicated not only that existing hardware did not meet all
requirements, but that automatic sampling was more cost effective (despite higher
initial costs) than manual sampling, by at least 16 percent. However, program
economics resulted in the decision to design a manually operated model.

limestone, four deposits of shell and coquina, two deposits of caliche, and a large
carbonate sludge refuse pile, all in the eastern U.S. The studies related to their
potential use in limestone processes for S02 emission control from fossil fuel comb-
ustion. Each sample and its calcined product were investigated for petrography, j
mineralogy, chemistry, pore structure, and surface area. It was indicated that maris
and their calcones should have high reactivities with S02; because of their ease of '
production and disaggregation, marls should be given important consideration for use i
in limestone scrubbing of flue gases at power plants near marl deposits. Chalks and |
some chalky limestones should also have higher reactivities with S02 gases than would;
dense limestones. Carbonate shell materials should not be crushed and used in S02 •
scrubbing; however, their calcines are |

16. Abstracts The rep0rt summarizes the findings of a laboratory program for developing
aqueous processes for Removing NOx and S02 from combustion flue gases. It
discusses analytical techniques and scrubber design, as well as results obtained
experimentally with a vertical spray tower scrubber: blended flue gases passed up
an unpacked glass column, countercurrent to the absorbing solution which was
sprayed down from the top. The experiments showed that: N02 and S02 are effect-
ively absorbed by 1.0 molar Na2S03 solutions; N02 absorption by 1. 0 molar NaOH
solution is enhanced by S02 in the flue gas; neither NO nor N02 is effectively
absorbed by 1.0 molar NaOH solution in the absence of S02 (NO absorption is not
improved by S02); increasing the L/G ratio improves N02 and S02 absorption by
1.0 molar Na2S03; and under similar conditions, Mg(OH)2 slurry is not as
effective as Na2S03 solution for N02 absorption.

related pollutant emissions in the primary aluminum industry. Boiler capacity and
pollutant emissions are projected to 1980. The report supplements a separate
systems study of all process-related emissions from the aluminum industry.
Significant findings include: the limited boiler capacity is used for process steam;
and the vast majority of the boilers are natural-gas-fired. The large amount of
electric power used in aluminum processing is supplied from outside sources, rather
than being generated on site. It is concluded that the boiler emissions are
insignificant, compared to process emissions.

16. Abstracts rep0rj. gjves results of a study to experimentally evaluate the effect-
iveness of four additive materials in controlling pollutant emissions from fossil fuel
combustion: Trimex, PACE, KAP, and Glo-Klen. Each was carefully examined in a
highly instrumented package boiler over the range of typical operating conditions
(e g. , combustion intensity and residence time) for industrial and utility systems.
Results show that none of the four reduce emissions of SOx, NO, CO, or UHC under
any condition tested. Based on these results, the boiler operating problems, and the
possibility that their use might create potentially harmful new emissions, none of the
additives can be recommended as a means of controlling pollutant emissions.

The development and evaluation of a kinetic mechanism, for use in air quality !
simulation models to describe photochemical smog formation, is described. The 1
mechanism, which treats inorganic reactions in detail and organic reactions m general
terms, was formulated to achieve a balance between accuracy of prediction and
compactness of representation. The results of the evaluation of this mechanism
using n-butane/NOx, propylene/NOx, and n-butane/propylene/NOx smog chamber data
are included.

Data from continuous cultures of an alga (Chlanrydomonas reinhardtii) and
protozoan (Tetrahymena vorax) have been used to construct a model of
algal standing crop over ranges of light intensity, dilution rate, and
nutrient concentration both in the absence and presence of predation by
the protozoa. The model predicts that predation can reduce algal standing
crop only within certain ranges of the environmental variables.
The comparative toxicities of Aroclor 1242, a polychlorinated biphenyl,
and DDT, were tested on the alga and protozoan, and also on daphnids,
ostracods, and guppies. (Ta\ib-University of Washington)

This report describes the formulation and initial verification of two modeling frame-
works. The first is directed toward an analysis of the impact of the carbonaceous and
nitrogenous components and wastewater on the dissolved oxygen resources of a natural
water system. The second modeling framework concentrates on the interactions between
the discharge of nutrient, both nitrogen and phosphorus, and the biomass of the phyto-
plankton and zooplankton populations which result, as well as incorporating the overall
impact on dissolved oxygen. The models are formulated in terms of coupled differential
equations which incorporate both the effect of transport due to tidal motion and
turbulence, and the kinetics which describe the biological and chemical transformations
that can occur. The modeling frameworks are applied to the Delaware and Potomac
estuaries in order to estimate the ability of such models to describe the water quality
effects of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous discharges. The agreement achieved
between observation and calculation indicate that the major features of the impact of
wastewater components on eutrophication phenomena can be successfully analyzed within
the context of the models presented herein. (O'Connor-Manhattan College)

16. Abstracts This report summarizes the results of a research project entitled "Tidal
Flats and Estuarine Water Quality Analysis." The initial phases of the study
involved mixing processes and tidal hydraulics, however, the study emphasis shifted
to estuarine benthic systems as the importance of these systems became more apparent.
The sulfur cycle was given particular emphasis because:
(1) sulfides, resulting from sulfate reduction within the benthic systems, can
influence the benthic oxygen uptake rate,
(2) free sulfides are highly toxic to a variety of organisms, and
(3) the release of hydrogen sulfide may contribute to a deterioration of air
quality.
The sulfur cycle is of particular importance in tidal estuaries because of the high
sulfate concentrations of saline waters in comparison to fresh waters. A conceptual
model of estuarine benthic systems was developed and a classification system of

estuarine benthic deposits which is based on the availability of hydrogen acceptors ar
reactive iron was developed.
Field studies demonstrated that estuarine waters overlying organic rich tidal flat
deposits could contain significant concentrations of free sulfides even when dissolved
oxygen was present. Field studies of benthic oxygen uptake and benthic sulfide releas
were conducted to determine the rate of sulfate reduction. Results from experiments
using extracts from benthic deposits and algal mats demonstrated a close relationship
between the rate of sulfate reduction and the sulfate and soluble organic carbon
concentrations. A general systems model of estuarine benthic systems was developed,
however, specific definition of all processes was not possible without further
experimental results. A variety of activities which could contribute to significant
environmental changes with estuarine benthic systems were identified.
Methods of determining dispersion coefficients from salinity profiles were examined
and an improved method was developed. The build-up of a pollutant in the vicinity of
the outfall during the slack water period of the tide was studied through a field
experiment and mathematical model study.

46, Abstracts^g utilization 0f large quantities of solid waste materials by
chemical combination with pesticides is discussed. The associated ex-
senditures and the disadvantages of the current methods of application
for these pesticides are contrasted with the general advantages of the
corresponding controlled release forms based on solid waste raacromol-
scules. The preparation of such combinations is described. Theories
tfhich permit the prediction of the period of effectiveness of solid vaste-
sesticide combinations have been developed and validated. Solid waste -
lerbicide combinations based on 2,4-dichlorophenoxybutyric acid have been
found to be capable of safely suppressing weeds and brush in the presence
af conifers and field tests have shown that conifer growth is thereby
substantially accelerated. The practicability of longacting controlled
release forms of insecticides was also demonstrated.

As part of studies to determine how living organisms may be used to catab
olize poultry manure, larvae of house flies (Mus c a domestica) were used
to process poultry manure, with the pupae being used as a feed supplement
Temperature and relative humidity conditions were determined to produce
an optimum yield of dry pupae. Three feeding trials were conducted to
evaluate fly pupae and catabolized poultry manure residue as protein
sources for growing chickens. White Leghorn chicks, White Plymouth Rock
chicks, and New Hampshire and Indian River broiler chick9 were fed the
various diets and differences in body weight and feed conversion were
recorded. The results indicated that fly pupae have potential as a pro-
tein supplement in chick starter and broiler diets; the protein quality
was found to be similar to that of meat and bone meal or fish meal, and
superior to soybean oil meal.

Activated carbons were produced from municipal refuse. The carbons were characterized by
determining the nethylene blue number, iodine number, phenol number, COD adsorptive
capacity (municipal sewage), ash content, apparent density, surface area and pore
"lze distribution. The rate of COD adsorption, rate of settling and leachate charac-
teristics were also investigated. Municipal refuse was shredded, air classified,
pyrolyzed, air classified (a second time), activated and ground. A number of different
activation schenes were used; the most effective was steam at 910 C without the use
of catalysts. Activation was accomplished as a batch process in a fluidized bed. The
refuse activated carbon was compared with Aqua Nuchar A, Calgon BL and Darco M for
selected adsorptive properties. Results of several COD adsorption tests indicate that
the refuse activated carbon is comparable to Aoua Nuchar A for COD removal. Th6
approximate yield of activated carbon was ten percent, or 200 lbs per ton of raw
refuse. The cost of producing the activated carbon was 5.5 cents per pound when
pyrolysis costs are included and 0.93 cents per pound when pyrolysis costs are not
included.

An instrument has been developed capable of the direct determination of
metals in air. No prior scrubbing or extracting of the metals from the
air is necessary. Consequently, the time necessary for analysis is a
matter of minutes - permitting real time analysis to be carried out on
small volumes of air.
The method was based on atomic absorption spectroscopy and involved the
development of a highly efficient atomizer. The sensitivity of the
method was determined to be about 10 12 g. Procedures for the direct
quantitative determination of lead, mercury or cadmium in the air were
developed.
Problems were encountered with traces of impurities in the system.
Normal 'trace' levels are unacceptable at the levels necessary for
direct metal determination. Calibration techniques were especially
difficult to develop and numerous methods were studied. The cali-
bration methods which were found to be useful at these concentrations
were developed into reliable analytical techniques. These methods are

A methodology has been developed for the determination of amount and
size distribution of asbestos fibers and fibrils in air at point sources
and near point sources. The technique can also be applied to ambient air
samples. The method employs a scanning electron microscope with microprobe
capability and an image analyzing system. Complete details for manual
operation have been worked out. Feasibility study for automated operation
has been completed also. Preliminary results of analysis of samples col-
lected at point sources and near point sources are also included.

Four commercial multiple crystal spectrometer x-ray analyzers were
evaluated for use in the elemental analysis of air pollution particulate
samples. Fourteen to twenty-four elements can be measured simultaneously
in these instruments. 100 second detection limits of 1 to 10 ng/cm2 were
achieved for about one-half of the elements examined. Any one of the
commercial instruments is capable of performing quantitative analysis of
the particulate matter filtered out of the atmosphere or source emissions.
Some actual pollution samples were analyzed in all four instruments to
demonstrate suitability.

This report describes the development and testing of a semiconductor diode laser
system to monitor sulfur dioxide by differential absorption of infrared radiation. Laser
material was prepared and diodes fabricated which would operate in a temperature-
independent region of SO2 absorption. Data concerning sensitivity and interferences
from aerosols and other gases were recorded in the laboratory. Field tests were then
performed at an operating coal-burning power generating station, with the results com-
pared with SO2 measurements taken with a conventional chemical monitor.

The purpose of this project was to assess the feasibility of in-stack monitoring
.n air-suspended particulate stream by fluorescence or Raman optical interactions,
study explored the feasibility of two approaches: quantitatively monitoring a
icribed constituent, and monitoring the relative concentrations of several consu-
lts simultaneously. Fluorescence-monitoring systems were found suitable for the
>nd.
The method of approach was to assess the magnitude of the Raman and fluorescence
•raction, and then calculate the detectability of that material for a typical :n-
:k system. Thirty-four materials were investigated on the project; thirteen mate-
Ls had significant fluorescent responses and twenty-two materials had measurable

(Abstract-concluded)
Rantar* responses. When these responses were uspd to calculate iri-stack
detectability, all thirteen materials could be detected by fluorescence
systems (although few could be uniquely identified), and fifteen of the
.twentytwo Raman-active materials could bo detected by a Raman system.
The use of a laboratory Raman instrument to analyze conventionally
sampled 'particulates was considered. The primary advantage of this
instrument appears to be the capability for measuring ions—for example,
sulfate.
Finally, a few crude experiments were made to detect the fluorescent
response of a particulate material suspended in a liquid (rather than
air). These measurements showed substantial interference from fluores-
cence by the liquid medium; nevertheless, a component of the particulate
fluorescence was detectable. This experimental result partially verifies
the calculated feasibility of detection by fluorescence.
It is concluded that both fluorescence and Raman m-stack monitoring
systems can yield useful information about the quantity and composition
of a particulate stream. Recommendations arc made for additional efforts
toward achieving an operational in-stack monitoring system.

The objective of this project is to determine the physical and chemical charac-
teristics of particulate matter from internal combustion engines as a function of
sampling procedure, engine operating conditjons including emission control systems,
fuel composition, and residence tune in the atmosphere. Emphasis is to be placed
on the study of particulate matter during its lifetime in the aUiosphere. Following
a 4500 mile break in of two 1971 model Fords on non-leaded gasoline, the comparaoilj:;
of the vehicles was established from measurements of total hydrocarbons, caroon
monoxide, total particulate mass, and particle size distribution m the tunnel dilute*
exhaust samples. Selected particulate samples were also studied for particle morphol-
ogy (by TEM), and organic fractions of these were subjected to IR and GC anal>sis.
Break-in of the vehicles was resumed for another 4000 inilcs, during whicn one car Vi^s
operated using leaded fuel (2.5 g Pb/gal added to base stock) while the u^e of

chamber experiments, the exhaust dilution tunnel was modified so that it could be
operated at a positive pressure to provide sample flow to a rectangular cnambcr,
constructed of 6 mil black polyethylene, about 2100 cubic feet in volu.ie (9 x 12 x
20 ft.). Initial experiments were carried out at an overall exhaust gas dilution of
about 300:1. Renewal of this contract for another year was negotiated.

made between the atomic absorption method of additions and the standard curve
method. A suggested stepwise procedure is given.

A sub-scale simulation of a high-voltage transmission line was constructed and operated !
in a chamber roughly 1.5 meters long by 0.5 meter in diaireter to determine ozone pro- j
duction characteristics. Effects of voltage and corona paver, conductor size and 1
surface condition, air teirperature, relative humidity, and air flow rate (wind velocity)!
on ozone yield were determined. Of these, corona power (voltage), relative humidity,
and air flew rate exhibited significant effects on ozone yield. Averaged yield values
ranged from about 3 gm/kw-hr at high humidity (75-80 per oent) to about 7 gir/kw-hr at
lew humidity (25-30 per cent). Application of these results to three areas of high
concentration of transmission lines shewed that, under minimal wind conditions, such
transmission line concentrations can produce sizeable local ozone levels.
