Separations Of Dilute Solutions By The Smooth Deposit Approach Of The In-Situ Indirect Freezing Process, Jeng-Hung Lue Dec 1979

Separations Of Dilute Solutions By The Smooth Deposit Approach Of The In-Situ Indirect Freezing Process, Jeng-Hung Lue

Chemical and Biological Engineering ETDs

The main objective of the present study is to demonstrate experimentally the feasibility of applying the smooth deposit ap­proach of the in-situ indirect freezing process to the separations of both dilute organic mixtures and aqueous mixtures. The in-situ indirect freezing process with in-situ washing and melting opera­tions was first introduced by C. Y. Cheng and S. W. Cheng [1].


Assessment Of Corrosion And Scaling In A Low Temperature Geothermal System, David Bruce Orrell Jul 1979

Assessment Of Corrosion And Scaling In A Low Temperature Geothermal System, David Bruce Orrell

Chemical and Biological Engineering ETDs

The feasibility of a low temperature geothermal system to be located in the area immediately surrounding Albuquerque, New Mexico, was assessed with respect to corrosion and scaling. Theories of corrosion and scaling were explored and an extensive literature survey was performed to predict trends and apply design criteria and guidelines regarding corrosion and scaling from other geothermal environments to the proposed geothermal installation in Albuquerque. A recirculating corrosion test loop was built, and fifteen metals were tested for general corrosion resistance in seawater at 190° F and 3 ft/sec flow velocity. Results show this test procedure to be viable and …
