INTRODUCTION This work investigates the possibility of economic thermochemical production of hydrogen from water, using concentrated solar energy as the heat source. The first effort, the subject of this year’s work, was to investigate all possible thermochemical cycles to determine which cycles might be well suited to use with concentrating solar energy devices. The effort was then to (1) find and organize information on known thermochemical water-splitting cycles, (2) define the important characteristics of the solar devices which would affect cycle selection, (3) define quantifiable criteria that could be easily used to screen the cycles for use with each solar device, eliminating unsuitable cycles, and (4) performing a semi-rigorous evaluation of the cycles that passed the initial screening, to find those cycles that required the least thermal energy to produce hydrogen. The first three items together make-up our Phase 1 screening task and the fourth item is our Phase 2 screening task. 2. PHASE 1 SCREENING The goal of Phase 1 screening was to list all thermochemical cycles and then, on the basis of pertinent criteria and quantitative metrics, to rank the potential that a cycle could be economically implemented, and to remove from further consideration those cycles having low potential for ultimate success. As the criteria varied with the type of solar device, the scoring had to be repeated for each solar device. Objective measures were found to assign a criteria score for each cycle, and then points (0– 10 pts) were assigned to the range of scores. For instance, on criteria 2 (number of difficult separations), a given cycle would have a score of 4 separations, and 4 separations would be assigned 2 points. Thus, each cycle would be assigned 0–10 points, on each of 16 criteria. Each criterion was then weighted (so as to be more or less important), to yield a total score. The weighting of criteria was usually “the same” across the 4 different solar devices, but on criterion 8, each device had a separate weighting. This total score was then normalized so that the final score corresponds to the percent of maximum possible points. 2.1. The Phase 1 Criteria The following 16 criteria were constructed as quick and simple measures of potentially viable thermochemical criteria (Table 1). Each criteria is worth 0-10 points. Criteria 1-6. Economic Considerations Criterion 1. The number of steps or fundamental reaction equations in the cycle. A two step cycle would seem to be less complex than a 5 step cycle: fewer movements of material, fewer separations, fewer chemicals-all other things being equal. 1 " # $ % & ' ( ) * + #" -%*'!%"$ @ LC C B A ( ( ( #" *,"'&+ -%*' A LC C B A @ ? & & & * +(*,"'&+,( -%*'!%"$ B LC C B A @ " " " " $%&,+ -&&' * !33+3-3 ,3"33 3 3 &333 333 '33 !3+3313%3 333 33 -3&3*3"33 &33 3"33 3 3 3$33 C 3- %3$3 - 3 '3-3+3 3* 33'33 3 "3*3*33 $33" % % % % !%"$$%&,+ 3*3 3&3 * 0""2"& & 1*' & &!1*"+' $' &+ $#$"'0"+& $#$"&'0"+& $#$"&+$,+ $#$"+$,+ ,$'0"+ '&6%,$ '&6'**'+".

Number of difficult separations. A very abbreviated flow diagram was constructed and used to determine the number of “difficult” separations needed, based solely on the fundamental equations of the cycles, for a viable process. The following types of separations were deemed difficult: * solid-solid separations, where the products are two solids * solid-liquid separations, where a filtration or other means would be needed * liquid-liquid separations, where two liquids (miscible or immiscible) were found. * gas-gas separations, such as separating O2 from HCl. * Aqueous/non-aqueous, such as dehydrating aqueous H2SO4 to make anhydrous H2SO4 Gas-liquid and gas-solid separations were deemed “easy” and not counted. Two other assumptions were made in this evaluation. First, the details of the separation were not evaluated. We looked solely at the fundamental separations to be made, not how we would do such. However, those evaluating the cycles had some discretion to say “if I cool the products by 100°C, I then change a difficult gas-gas separation into an easy gas-liquid separation, thereby improving the process and removing one gas-gas separation from the count.” Second, since many steps are at equilibrium and do not proceed to completion, there would be recycle of all liquid and gas reactants from the product stream. We presumed solid reactants went to products completely. A significant fraction of the difficult separations resulted from recycle of gas or liquid reactants. Criterion 3. Number of elements The more elements present is a measure of the number of species to be dealt with. The greater the number of chemicals used indicates a more complex process. Criterion 4. Abundance of chemicals One would want to use very common chemicals and elements-they would be less expensive and readily available in large quantities. So this criterion looks at the abundance of the scarcest element in the cycle, and assigns points based on that limiting abundance. Criterion 5. Use of non-corrosive chemicals Corrosive chemicals lead to the use of more expensive non-corroding equipment.

    1\idtard G'~aumhnff ~ource ..J~-:. ..:?.:.... ~ateJ?. ~l A Greater and Better SHIELD AND DIAMOND It has long been the opinion of the SHIELD AND DIAMOND staff that four issues a year were inadequate for a fraternity of the size and im­ portance of Pi Kappa Alpha. Because of a distinct aversion to increasing the financial burden of the chapters, but desiring to increase the number of issues of the SHIELD AND DIAMOND, the staff has worked out a publication schedule of five issues a year, in which the total cost of five numbers will not exceed the total cost of the four in the last volume. This will be accomplished by condensing strictly chapter news of m­ terest only to members of that chapter and using the chapter news notes in three issues instead of four. The five issue schedule adopted IS as follows: MOJiling Date Chapter News Due Featuring October 1 General news and fraternal topics November 15 October 15 Mid-term news and Fall sports January 15 December 15 New term news and Winter sports March 15 Fraternal subjects and articles May 15 April 15 Review of year and Spring sports In the opinion of the Grand Editor and his associates, the five issue plan is greatly to the interest and benefit of Pi Kappa Alpha, its active chapters and alumni subscribers. The schedule has many advantages. First, only a month and a half elapses between the two Fall issues, instead of two full months. The January issue comes just after chapters have reassembled following vacation, thus eliminating the for-mer gap of three months.

  • South Africa Chemical Chronology
    South Africa Chemical Chronology 2005-2000 | 1999-1990 | 1989-1896 Last update: April 2005 This annotated chronology is based on the data sources that follow each entry. Public sources often provide conflicting information on classified military programs. In some cases we are unable to resolve these discrepancies, in others we have deliberately refrained from doing so to highlight the potential influence of false or misleading information as it appeared over time. In many cases, we are unable to independently verify claims. Hence in reviewing this chronology, readers should take into account the credibility of the sources employed here. Inclusion in this chronology does not necessarily indicate that a particular development is of direct or indirect proliferation significance. Some entries provide international or domestic context for technological development and national policymaking. Moreover, some entries may refer to developments with positive consequences for nonproliferation 2005-2000 28 January 2005 The United Kingdom releases its third quarterly report on Strategic Export Controls, covering the period 1 July to 30 September 2004.

  • A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER INVESTIGATION INTO the EFFECT of the WEB on SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION in CHEMISTRY by Richard William Fyson
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences School of Chemistry A Multi-Stakeholder Investigation into the Effect of the Web on Scholarly Communication in Chemistry by Richard William Fyson Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2017 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF NATURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES School of Chemistry Doctor of Philosophy A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECT OF THE WEB ON SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION IN CHEMISTRY by Richard William Fyson As an open, inexpensive, collaborative platform, the Web is ideal for facilitating commu- nication among scholars, enabling near free access to knowledge. The Web’s potential goes further still however, allowing researchers to utilise the digital, networked medium to publish more of their research data in comparison to paper-based journal articles, and to publish them in context sensitive formats enabling wider access and visibility, increased discoverability and potential for further use including through e-science tech- niques. Yet this potential has not been fully realised. Whilst much research is made freely available via open access, this remains a contentious subject, along with other facets of scholarly communication such as peer review and journal impact factors. The range of functions fulfilled by the processes of academic publishing ultimately inhibits the Web’s ability to instigate change. This thesis presents an all-encompassing study examining the roles of the major stakeholders in the process of capturing research and making it publicly available, to understand why the full potential of the application of the Web in scholarly discourse has not yet been fully realised. Through doing so a new approach to scholarly discourse, termed disintermediation, is formulated whereby the researcher is placed in a central role, using the Web to communicate research findings directly with their peers.
