E. Wrather, Director For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office Washington 25, D. C. Price $1.00 (paper cover) FOREWORD The U. S. Geological Survey has made an extensive investigation of radioactive raw materials in the United States since 1945. This investigation was first undertaken on behalf of the Manhattan District Project and later on behalf of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. As a vital part of this program more than 200,000 samples have been chemically analyzed for uranium. These samples included nearly all types of minerals, rocks, and ores; mill, smelter, refinery, and other plant products; and natural waters. From the start of the program it was evident in the Geological Survey and elsewhere that the existing methods of uranium analysis were inadequate, and therefore much work has been done in modify­ ing known techniques and developing new ones. The first stage of this work was based on classical techniques; the second stage led to the development of more rapid methods to meet the constantly expanding analytical load. Work is continuing along both lines. What has been said about uranium analysis applies equally to thorium analysis. No satisfactorily rapid analytical methods for the chemical determination of thorium, especially for very small amounts (less than 1 percent), have been developed. The demand for thorium analyses is always pressing in the Survey program, and research in this field has been and is intense. The analytical methods developed from these investigations have been reported from time to time in U. S. Geological Survey Trace Elements Investigations and Memorandum reports, and many of these have been reproduced by the Technical Information Service of the Atomic Energy Commission at Oak Ridge, Term. These reports have had limited distribution in the Geological Survey and to the Atomic Energy Commission and its contractors, but it is desirable to make them available for wider distribution through formal publication. This bulletin will serve that purpose. The methods herein described include standard ones as well as those requiring the use of rather elaborate and highly specialized instru­ ments. The primary goal has been to develop methods that are of the widest applicability, and some procedures may be unnecessarily long when applied to simple materials. The papers are presented in nearly chronologic order and thus reflect the changing demands on the laboratory. The reports have been kept essentially in their original form except where it has been necessary to bring the material up to date. Some of the earlier methods have, been superseded by those described in later reports; in IV FOREWORD nevertheless, they are presented here because the information they contain is valuable and useful. The authors who compiled this bulletin have prepared a general discussion (part 1) of uranium and thorium analysis that will be most useful to those working in this field. JOHN C.

It is irritating to the eyes, skin, throat and respiratory tract. Brown to gray granules that are odorless or give off a slight ammonia odor. Potential Health Effects Eyes: Contact may cause mild eye irritation including stinging, watering and redness. Skin: Contact may cause mild irritation including redness and a burning sensation. Practically nontoxic by by skin absorption. Inhalation (Breathing): No information available. Studies by other exposure routes suggest a low degree of hazard by skin irritation.

H2O /CaSO4.H2O TSP: CaHPO4.2H2O SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS OF THE SIAR Category/Analogue Rationale The category consists of monoammonium phosphate (MAP; CAS No. 7722-76-1), diammonium phosphate (DAP; CAS No. 7783-28-0), ammonium polyphosphate (APP; CAS No. 68333-79-9), single superphosphate (SSP; CAS No. 8011-76-5), and triple superphosphate (TSP; CAS No. 65996-95-4). All members of the category are mainly or exclusively used as fertilizer and have one common functional group (phosphate) that equilibrates between several different ionic species - = = -3 [H3PO4, H2PO4 , HPO4 , HPO4 , or PO4 ] depending on the pH of the environment. Thus, chemical reactions for all compounds in this category are similar with the exception of the actual dissociation product, which forms calcium or ammonia along with common phosphate moieties. However, the presence of the ammonium ion will influence the observed toxicity and its data are used to conservatively represent the toxicity of the category members. Under typical environmental conditions, the phosphate would be present as monohydrogen = - - phosphate (HPO4 ) or dihydrogen phosphate (H2PO4 ) with the equilibrium favoring H2PO4 as the acidity of the environment increases. Under these conditions, the proportions of phosphoric acid -3 (H3PO4) and the phosphate anion (PO4 ) would be extremely low.

    An Access-Dictionary of Internationalist High Tech Latinate English Excerpted from Word Power, Public Speaking Confidence, and Dictionary-Based Learning, Copyright © 2007 by Robert Oliphant, columnist, Education News Author of The Latin-Old English Glossary in British Museum MS 3376 (Mouton, 1966) and A Piano for Mrs. Cimino (Prentice Hall, 1980) INTRODUCTION Strictly speaking, this is simply a list of technical terms: 30,680 of them presented in an alphabetical sequence of 52 professional subject fields ranging from Aeronautics to Zoology. Practically considered, though, every item on the list can be quickly accessed in the Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary (RHU), updated second edition of 2007, or in its CD – ROM WordGenius® version. So what’s here is actually an in-depth learning tool for mastering the basic vocabularies of what today can fairly be called American-Pronunciation Internationalist High Tech Latinate English. Dictionary authority. This list, by virtue of its dictionary link, has far more authority than a conventional professional-subject glossary, even the one offered online by the University of Maryland Medical Center. American dictionaries, after all, have always assigned their technical terms to professional experts in specific fields, identified those experts in print, and in effect held them responsible for the accuracy and comprehensiveness of each entry. Even more important, the entries themselves offer learners a complete sketch of each target word (headword). Memorization. For professionals, memorization is a basic career requirement. Any physician will tell you how much of it is called for in medical school and how hard it is, thanks to thousands of strange, exotic shapes like <myocardium> that have to be taken apart in the mind and reassembled like pieces of an unpronounceable jigsaw puzzle.

  • THE EFFECTS of P FERTILIZER ADDITION on P TRANSFORMATIONS on HIGH-P FIXING and GRASSLAND SOILS by JOY PIERZYNSKI B.S., Michigan
    THE EFFECTS OF P FERTILIZER ADDITION ON P TRANSFORMATIONS ON HIGH-P FIXING AND GRASSLAND SOILS by JOY PIERZYNSKI B.S., Michigan State University, 1982 M.S., Michigan State University, 1985 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Agronomy College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2016 Abstract Although phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for the growth of plants, it is one of the most limiting nutrients in terms of availability as a high proportion of applied P rapidly transforms into insoluble forms with low solubility in soils. To further understand the fate of P applied to soils, two separate but related studies using three high P-fixing soil types each were used for which the objectives were to investigate the mobility, availability, and reaction products from two granular and one liquid P fertilizer alone or plus a fertilizer enhancement product. Energy dispersive spectroscopy showed a substantial amount of P remained in the granule following a 5-week incubation. At the end of the 35-day incubation period there was evidence that the fluid fertilizer was superior over the granular sources in terms of enhanced diffusion and extractability of P for three calcareous soils with varying levels of CaCO3. Phosphorus x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy results in conjunction with resin- extractable P indicated a strong negative correlation between Ca-P solids formed and P extractability, suggesting that degree of Ca-P formation limits P solubility. For the three acidic P- fixing soils the results were complex.
