Kellogg Laboratory

Work carried out in the Kellogg Laboratory confirmed the existence of a gap at atomic mass number A = 8. Earlier, in the same laboratory, in 1939, the absence of a stable nuclei at A = 5 had been confirmed. Gamow was convinced that all the research relevant to atomic mass 5 was mistaken. 

During a series of basic experiments in homogeneous catalysis at the M. W. Kellogg Laboratory, it was discovered that ethylene could be made to react with an aqueous solution of certain metal halides to give 1,2-dichloroethane at moderate temperatures and pressures e,g.y 300°F., 150 p.s.i.g.). The reaction appears to occur between complexed ethylene and the metal halide. For example using copper chloride, ethylene complexed with cuprous chloride is believed to react with cupric chloride to produce dichloroethane. The over-all reaction can be written simply as ... 

In order to ascertain whether pyrolysis in the low fractional second contact time range would afford ethylene and co-product yield advantages sufficient to justify still further development of a process, bench scale work was initiated in the Kellogg laboratory in 1965. These bench scale studies provided experimental evidence on the trends of product yields over a contact time range from 0.01 to 0.10 seconds at reaction temperatures from 1400 F (760 0 to over 2000 F (10930c). Investigations were performed on a... 

Glen Kellogg came Into my group as a postdoctoral researcher and wrote the code for HINT on the basis of ideas published by A1 Leo and myself [38]. Professor Kellogg deserves credit for the development and use of HINT in industrial and academic laboratories worldwide. 

The test at M. W. Kellogg s and the test in the ARCO pilot nnit were done with different feeds, with different catalysts and in different pilot nnits, so it was not expected that the yields should be identical. The feed to the M. W. Kellogg s pilot unit was a synthetic Statfjord atmospheric residne and the catalyst used was a Filtrol 900 catalyst containing nickel and vanadinm contaminants [1]. This pilot unit was also pressurized. In the ARCO pilot unit at Chalmers the feed was a laboratory distilled Statfjord atmospheric residue and the catalyst was an almost metal-free EKZ eqnilibrinm catalyst from Katalistiks. The ARCO nnit is working at atmospheric pressnre. 

Table I summarizes the foregoing magnetite circulation data, together with additional data reported by Kellogg s laboratory for operation at a backpressure of 250 psig. Table I assumes the magnetite to display a specific gravity of 5.2, and the 4-inch reaction zone to comprise a 4-inch nominal Schedule 80 pipe.

The project started in the Kellogg Radiation Laboratory with a federal grant of 200,000 and quickly grew to an 80 million industry, employing nearly five thousand workers at a number of nearby sites. In 1944, the one-millionth Caltech rocket, nicknamed Holy Moses, rolled off an assembly line outside of Pasadena. Caltech had become, in the words of Lauritsen s assistant William A Fowler, a branch of the Bureau of Ordnance. ...

To pursue the needed chemical and cost data on the process, the Bureau assembled a second-generation laboratory unit, incorporating modifications dictated by the results of the earlier work. This was operated as a prototype of a pilot plant designed to treat 1000 CFM of 0.5% sulfur dioxide gas, which is now constructed and operating at the Bunker Hill lead smelter, Kellogg, Idaho (3).

Reaction engineers are expected to transform laboratory discoveries of new synthesis routes or design concepts into economic, safe, and environmentally compatible processes. The highly competitive industrial environment has added the need to shorten the time interval in which this task has to be completed and to decrease the production price. This motivated several innovations. The first was development of novel catalysts, which increased the yield in existing processes, such as the novel Kellogg ammonia-synthesis process, which uses the much more active BP catalyst. Other catalysts were designed to provide either new synthesis routes, such as the production of synthesis gas by direct oxidation, or new products, such as production of novel polymers by metallocene catalysts.

The above studies suggest that exposure of the developing laboratory animal to Pb can result in both subtle and specific behavior indicators of CNS dysfunction. Unfortunately, a lack of standardization of the time, duration, method, and level of Pb exposure, the species and strain used and the method of behavioral assessment, as well as the presence of undemutrition at high levels of Pb exposure have made the development of unified fonnula-tion of Pb-induced neurobehavioral deficiency difficult. The interested reader is referred to Bomschein et al. and Jason and Kellogg" for more extensive reviews of the behaviored effects of Pb exposure in laboratory animals.
