In two processes under development as of 1997, the sulfur dioxide stream reacts with reduciag gas over a proprietary catalyst to form elemental sulfur. Both processes have achieved a sulfur recovery of 96% ia a single reactor. Multiple reactor systems are expected to achieve 99+% recovery of the feed sulfur. The direct sulfur recovery process (DSRP), under development at Research Triangle Institute, operates at high temperature and pressure. A similar process being developed at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory is expected to operate near atmospheric pressure. 

The 600 MWe Simplified Boiling Water Reactor was designed by an international team consisting of EPRI, General Electric, Bechtel, Bums and Roe, Foster Wheeler, Southern Company, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California (Berkeley), other U.S. utilities.

Berkeley, and, essentially simultaneously, by Hindman and coworkers (1949) at the Metallurgical Laboratory and Mastick and Wahl (1944) at the Los Alamos Laboratory the latter two groups utilized the milligram amounts of plutonium made available at the time through the operation of the reactor and chemical separation plant at the Clinton Laboratories in Tennessee. The existence of the V oxidation state was established in the summer of 1944, through the use of plutonium obtained from the Clinton Laboratories, by Connick and coworkers (1949), at the University of California, Berkeley. 

Back to the facts. The use of accelerators as fusion reactors first in 1940 in Berkeley (USA), later in Dubna (Russia), and then in Darmstadt (Ge-sellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung Institute for Heavy-Ion Research) allowed the expansion of the series of elements up to atomic number 116. This means that 24 artificial elements after uranium have been produced and identified. In most cases, the half-lives are extremely short and the few at-...

Americium - the atomic number is 95 and the chemical symbol is Am. The name derives from America where it was first synthesized in a series of successive neutron capture reactions in the element plutonium, Pu, in a nuclear reactor in 1944 by American scientists under Glenn T. Seaborg at the University of California lab in Berkeley, California, using the nuclear reaction Pu ( n, y) Y) P Am. Americium is the sixth element in the Actinide... 

Fermium - the atomic number is 100 and the chemical symbol is Fm. The name derives from the Italian bom physicist Enrico Fermi , who built the first man made nuclear reactor. The nuchde Fm was found in the debris of a thermonuclear weapon s explosion in 1952 by a collaboration of American scientists from the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago, Illinois, the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico and the University of California lab at Berkeley, California. The longest half-life associated with this unstable element is 100 day... 

Meanwhile, work was being carried out to determine the parent of the supposed fission xenon component. In 1971, Calvin Alexander, working at Berkeley, measured the isotopic composition of a sample of plutonium that had been produced by a nuclear reactor. The sample was heated to release all trapped gases and then left on a shelf for 23 months to allow pure plutonium fission xenon to accumulate. The resulting precise composition of plutonium fission xenon eliminated plutonium as the parent of CCFXe. Another hypothesis, championed by Edward Anders of the University of Chicago, was that the CCFXe had been produced by fission of a super-heavy element. Nuclear physicists had presented theoretical... 

NEPTUNIUM. [CAS 7439-99-8]. Chemical element, symbol Np, at. no, 93, at. wt, 237,0482 (predominant isotope), radioactive metal of the Actinide series, also one of the Transuranium elements. Neptunium was the first of [he Transuranium elements [o be discovered and was first produced by McMillan and Abelson (1940) at the University of California at Berkeley. This was accomplished by bombarding uranium with neutrons. Neptunium is produced as a by-pruduct from nuclear reactors. 237Np is the most stable isotope, with a half-life of 2.20 x 106 years, The only other very long-lived isotope is that of mass number 236. with a half-life of 5 x 10- years. 

This issue highlights the characterization difference between parallel synthesis and combinatorial synthesis. Parallel synthesis is automated traditional organic chemistry. Each compound is made in a separate reactor, purified and characterized. There is no excuse for not fully characterizing compounds made by parallel synthesis. Jonathan Ellman s laboratory at UC Berkeley has been a pioneering academic center for solid-phase chemistry development. His philosophy is to synthesize libraries of discrete compounds in a spatially separate fashion, rather than libraries of compound mixtures, to allow for rigorous analytical characterization [48,49],...

In this chapter the simulation examples are presented. They are preceded by a short describtion of simulation tools and the Berkeley Madonna program in particular. As seen from the Table of Contents, the examples are organised according to twelve application areas Batch Reactors, Continuous Tank Reactors, Tubular Reactors, Semi-Continuous Reactors, Mixing Models, Tank Flow Examples, Process Control, Mass Transfer Processes, Distillation Processes, Heat Transfer, Diffusion Transfer and Biological Process Examples. There are aspects of some examples that make them relevant to more than one application area, and this is usually apparent from their titles. Within each section, the examples are listed in order of their degree of difficulty.
