Though not instrumental in nature, another important technique in the polymer arsenal is large-scale computer simulation experiments. These have proved especially useful over the last several years in, for example, molecular-level simulations of polymer mechanical properties [42] and of the transport properties of concentrated polymer solutions [43], Polymers are in many ways ideal objects for this level of simulation study although it is difficult to have accurate detailed knowledge of local interactions, as mentioned earlier, much polymer behavior is dominated by nonlocal interactions that can be much more adequately represented.

A Fischer assay simulates the conversion of oil shale to usable fuels in an above-ground retort. The results of an extensive program of chemical analysis of major and trace elements in spent shale, oil, and water collected from the Fischer assay of a standard oil shale are presented. The concentration of major elements in raw and spent shale can be determined only to 10% in this study. Two criteria show that fluorine and zinc may have been mobilized during the assays. The concentrations of arsenic and selenium in the Fischer assay retort water exceed the maximum permissible concentrations for drinking water. 

Similar studies have been conducted at Crane AAP, Iowa AAP, Holston AAP, and Picatinny Arsenal. It is difficult to compare performance data from these studies, however, because each study operated under different treatment conditions. Some used 40-watt, low pressure, UV bulbs others used 65-watt, medium pressure, UV bulbs. Some amended the water with hydrogen peroxide (HjOj) others did not. The studies also used different concentrations and species of contaminant, different total residence times, and different concentrations of ozone. In addition, some of the studies used simulated pink water, which usually lacks many of the constituents of real pink water. 

The authors first used minteqa2 to evaluate the solubility control of As concentrations in the effluents of column experiments. They found that it was necessary to replace the log K values for the arsenic aqueous species and the mineral scorodite [FeAsCU 2H2O] in the minteqa2 database with those for the Fe-As-SC>4 systems from Robins (1990) in order to match the simulation and experimental results. From the microprobe study they found 1 p.m-sized, As-bearing phases having a stoichiometric composition close to scorodite. 

Specific chapters then focus on different projects on speciation analysis. Chapter 4 deals with interlaboratory studies on methylmercury in fish and sediment Chapter 5 describes the collaborative projects to certify organotins in sediment RMs and mussel tissues Chapter 6 gives an overview of the certification project on trimethyllead in simulated rainwater and urban dust Chapter 7 describes the certification project on arsenic species in fish tissues Chapter 8 focuses on the intercomparison and tentative certification of Se(IV) and Se(VI) in simulated freshwater Chapter 9 deals with a feasibility study to stabilize Cr species in solution followed by the certification of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in lyophilized solutions and welding dust Chapter 10 gives a review of methods used for A1 speciation Chapter 11 develops the overall collaborative project to standardize single and sequential extraction procedures for soil and sediment analysis, followed by interlaboratory studies and certification of soil and sediment reference materials. 

Ironically, given the baselessness of Communist accusations, the US did make some significant advances in its BW capacities during the Korean War. In Operation Dew (1951—52), 250 pounds of a fluorescent tracer were released from a minesweeper off the southeast coast of the United States to study the behavior of aerosols. Another exercise. Brown Derby, was carried out in November 1953 by the Chemical Corps and US Air Force to assess the ability of the US to produce and transport BW weapons overseas. A simulant was manufactured at Pine Bluff Arsenal, inserted into cluster bombs, then shipped to Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. The exercise demonstrated the US ability to mount a BW operation from scratch in a matter of days. 

A method was developed for the simul- 7-12ngmL taneous speciation of both arsenic and selenium. Thirteen arsenic and selenium species were studied using HPLC under elevated column temperatures followed by dual-element detection using ICP-MS... 

There is little hope of studying theoretically the complex intermolecular situation sketched in Fig. 13.11 with even modest accuracy, unless evolutionary molecular simulation is employed. Recourse is thus made to the classical arsenal of such simulations, broadly subdivided into Monte Carlo (MC) and Molecular Dynamics (MD). The conceptual foundations of these two methods, and their computational feasibility, are now reviewed again from the perspective of their use for nucleation and growth studies.
