DESCRIPTIONS AND EVALUATIONS OF TECHNOLOGIES

In this chapter, the committee briefly reviews some other applications of neutralization and hydrolysis elsewhere in the world to provide historical perspective for the technology being used in the United States to destroy recovered chemical weapons, as described in Chapter 1. Detailed descriptions and evaluations of the Russian two-stage neutralization/ bitumenization process and incineration processes follow that review. 

This section provides basic descriptions of NSCMP equipment currently used to destroy RCWM. A number of NRC committees have reviewed and evaluated these technologies in depth in previous reports (NRC, 2001, 2002, 2004). In addition to the descriptions presented here, technical information on these NSCMP systems will appear throughout... 

Process descriptions and evaluations for each of these technologies were given in Chapter 4 of Disposal of...

The paper is oiganized to describe, first, the materials that have been used in OLEDs, then the device structures that have been evaluated. After a description of the methods used to characterize and evaluate materials and devices, we summarize the current stale of understanding of the physics of device operation, followed by a discussion of the mechanisms which lead to degradation and failure. Finally, we present the issues that must be addressed to develop a viable flat-panel display technology using OLEDs. Space and schedule prevent a comprehensive review of the vast literature in this rapidly moving field. We have tried to present... 

Specific objectives and results of propellant grinding tests performed in support of the EDS II program for the Eco Logic technology package are discussed in detail in Chapter 4. The description of the tests and the committee s evaluation of the results presented in Chapter 4 are also applicable to the use of this unit operation in the SILVER II technology package. 

Perform preliminary evaluation of the technology available Refine scope of the system and confirm strategic objectives Develop a process/operating description, associated restrictions, interfaces, proposed solution, and critical operational checks/sequencing, including how Part 11 will affect and interact with the process/operation Approve the operational feasibility study Perform a preliminary Criticality and Complexity analysis... 

Industry is under increasing pressure from governments and environmental groups to improve the sustainability of its processes. However, how this higher level of sustainability should be achieved is not really clear, and even the definition of sustainability is often only qualitative, as we have seen earlier. There is a need for a tangible quantitative description that allows the sustainability of technological processes to be systematically evaluated, compared, and improved as Lems [16] argued. 

In the following, a description of the operational characteristics for renewable and conventional generation technologies, used in APS, will be provided. Based on this information, a technical overview of APS will be performed, with emphasis on stability and energy management issues. Finally, economic evaluation of APS design will be analysed in terms of the relevant optimisation problem configuration.
