Wolfgang SIMONIS (the „father of the free jet flotation‟), no longer with us, and formerly holder of the Chair of Mineral Processing and Beneficiation of the Technical University of Berlin and to Dr. Lutz ROLF, formerly assistant professor of the same department for the most creative time as an engineer in his life. Besides this I am also obliged to some of my former colleagues and co-workers in various mercury and soil/waste treatment projects performed in the past twenty years in various countries and in particular to my co-authors in diverse publications in particular to Dipl.-Berging. Andreas J. SCHMIDT and Dr.-Ing. Frank STAPELFELDT but also to my current employer TAKREER giving me the opportunity to write this thesis in parallel to my normal duties as a Department Manager of the BeAAT waste treatment facilities in the Ruwais Refinery Division/United Arab Emirates. Special thanks also to all the laboratory staff of the Chair of Mineral Processing in Leoben and of the Institute for Sustainable Waste Management and Technology, but especially to the lab technicians of the BeAAT plant laboratory in Ruwais/United Arab Emirates supporting me in completing the required chemical analysis for this thesis, but also to my secretary Khurram Maqsood, who helped me to format the entire document during the final phase of this work and to my friend and colleague Nayaz Sohale Sayed, Sr. Environmental Engineer for his review and advice. Last but not least the candidate wants to say „thank you‟ to his dear colleague Dipl.-Ing. Andreas SCHMID, he became a friend during the course of this thesis, for all his constructive and helpful assistance. The author would also like to convey thanks to the Administration Department of the Montanuniversität Leoben for their always helpful and competent support and their uncomplicated approach which is remarkable enough to be mentioned here. It is my dearest wish to thank honestly the „Republic of Austria‟ for their well-established school system, giving everybody a fair chance to learn and get access to higher education. Montanuniversität Leoben -ii- Dipl.-Ing., Dipl.-HTL-Ing. Rüdiger B. Richter DOCTORAL THESIS Processing of mercury-contaminated industrial wastes June 2011 ABSTRACT The PARCOM-decision 90/3 from 14 June 1990 recommends that all chlorine-alkali electrolysis facilities in Western Europe using the amalgam process shall be phased out for reasons of environmental protection at the latest by 2010. For the treatment of the demolition material from decommissioned chlorine plants in particular soil and rubble soil washing should be considered as a treatment option as an alternative to underground mine or mono dump disposal. Physical-chemical soil washing plants have proven to be suitable for the treatment of contaminated soils during the last 25 years. The first soil washing plants were based on the principle that soil was liberated by mechanical energy input and the contaminant-soil separation took place by applying subsequent combinations of classifying and separation processes. Because of the concentration of contaminants in the fine particle fraction, flotation becomes a significant separation process in the particle-size-fraction below 500 µm. In the past the successful application of soil flotation was mostly related to the treatment of organic contaminants such as Petrol Hydrocarbons (PHC) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH). Previous investigations regarding the flotation of heavy-metal contaminated soils were performed with material from a former steel works and rolling mills inner city site in Berlin. A recovery of maximum 75 % lead and 44 % zinc was obtained for a one step flotation. The recovery of the cleaned soil amounted to 92 %1. Preliminary tests performed with mercury-contaminated soil in a range of 1,000 mg/kg have shown that a removal of mercury from the soil under the given laboratory conditions in a particle size range of 25-500 µm is possible. The best results were received with KAX as a collecting agent at a pH of 8. In order to provide the best treatment for different soils from various chlorine-alkali electrolysis plants and acetaldehyde factories a categorization based on various samples selected from former and currently ongoing mercury remediation cases worldwide could be made, showing that the silt and clay fraction in very cohesive soils from chlorine-alkali plants have a much lower mercury content than sandy soils up to a concentration of fine in a range of 20 mass-%. Next to the positive effect of attrition for the enrichment of mercury in the fin particle range the importance of the removal of other with mercury closely linked soil components in chlorine-alkali soils such as carbon (mostly as graphite from the electrodes) was highlighted in this thesis. Owing to the different solubility of various mercuric sulphide species in aqueous systems such as in 2- particular the sulfur mercuric ion HgS2 a flotation method was developed using organic sulphidisation agents and xanthates in the same process. Performing tests rows with different mercury concentrations have proven that this process is applicable for solid high mercury wastes up to 1,000 mg/kg up to a particle size range of 500 µm and is capable to be implemented in existing or newly designed soil washing plants. All TCLP-tests performed with treated soil in laboratory scale were passing the leaching criteria for Hg < 0.2 mg/l. In the dry substance the target value “Zuordnungswert 2 (Z2)” of the German LAGA: Hg < 10 mg/kg DW could be reached. The thesis includes also experience made with other treatment options than soil washing such as in particular stabilization/solidification and thermal desorption.

S HEEHAN Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1991 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. ARTHUR CLAY COPE June 27, 1909-June 4, 1966 BY JOHN D. ROBERTS AND JOHN C. SHEEHAN RTHUR CLAY COPE, an extraordinarily influential and Aimaginative organic chemist, was born on June 27, 1909, and died on June 4, 1966. He was the son of Everett Claire Cope and Jennie (Compton) Cope, who lived in Dunreith, Indiana, but later moved to Indianapolis to enhance their son's educational possibilities. Everett Cope was in the grain storage business and his wife worked for some time at the local YWCA office. In 1929 Arthur received the bachelor's degree in chem- istry from Butler University in Indianapolis, then, with the support of a teaching assistantship, moved to the University of Wisconsin for graduate work. His thesis advisor at Wisconsin was S. M. McElvain, whose research program included the synthesis of organic com- pounds with possible pharmaceutical uses—especially local anesthetics and barbiturates. Cope's thesis work, completed in 1932, was along these lines. It led to the discovery of a useful local anesthetic and provided the major theme of his research for many years. Cope clearly made a strong impression at Wisconsin dur- ing his graduate career. He completed his thesis work and three independent publications in three years and was rec- ommended by the Wisconsin organic chemistry faculty (then 17 18 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS headed by the redoubtable Homer Adkins) for one of the highly sought-after National Research Council Fellowships at Harvard.

The work presented herein describes the utilization and exploration of palladium-mediated incorporations of carbon monoxide and/or [11C]carbon monoxide into compounds and structural motifs with biological relevance. The first part of the thesis describes the design, synthesis and 11C-labeling of prospective PET tracers for the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT), a target affected in several neurodegenerative diseases. Different parts of the benzovesamicol scaffold were modified in papers I and II to probe the binding to VAChT. The key motif was an amide functional group, which enabled the use of palladium-mediated 11C/12C-carbonylations to synthesize and evaluate two different sets of structurally related ligands. The second part of the thesis describes the exploration of different aspects of palladium- mediated 11C/12C-carbonylation reactions.

    Chapter 2 Professional Devotion, National Needs, Fascist Claims, and Democratic Virtues The Language of Science Policy in Germany Désirée Schauz and Gregor Lax ላሌ In the second half of the twentieth century, “basic an d applied research” be- came predominant and internationally acknowledged key concepts of science policy. Modern antonyms such as “pure and applied science” or “basic and applied research” spread across borders. However, the uses of these concepts, their discursive functions, and their ascriptions varied according to divergent national settings. This chapter is interested in the German particularities of the discourses revolving around these terms. What is special about the Ger- man concepts of Grundlagenforschung (basic research) and angewandte For- schung (applied research)? What did German scientists, politicians, and other experts mean when they used these terms? How did the concepts aff ect re- search policy and the overall understanding of science? In the nineteenth century, Germany became a role model for leading science nations. The institutionalization of the natural sciences at German universities from the early nineteenth century onward was a success story. Experimental training and research units at German universities attracted more and more international students, particularly in chemistry and physics. One key to this successful professionalization lay in the fact that nineteenth- century natural scientists wholeheartedly embraced the academic ideal of This open access library edition is supported by the University of Bonn.
