Method For Electrochemical Decontamination Of Radioactive Metal

View page
US Patent:
7384529, Jun 10, 2008
Filed:
Sep 29, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/672046
Inventors:
Amy A. Ekechukwu - Augusta GA, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the United States Department of Energy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G21F 9/28
US Classification:
205 43, 205705, 205717, 205723, 205771
Abstract:
A decontamination method for stripping radionuclides from the surface of stainless steel or aluminum material comprising the steps of contacting the metal with a moderately acidic carbonate/bicarbonate electrolyte solution containing sodium or potassium ions and thereafter electrolytically removing the radionuclides from the surface of the metal whereby radionuclides are caused to be stripped off of the material without corrosion or etching of the material surface.

US Patent:
61804134, Jan 30, 2001
Filed:
Jul 13, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/352794
Inventors:
Amy A. Ekechukwu - Augusta GA
Assignee:
Westinghouse Savannah River Company - Aiken SC
International Classification:
G01N 3318
US Classification:
436146
Abstract:
A method for the determination of total organic carbon in an aqueous sample by trapping the organic matter on a sorbent which is carbon free and analyzing the sorbent by combustion and determination of total CO. sub. 2 by IR.

Detection Of Chlorinated Aromatic Compounds

View page
US Patent:
54895367, Feb 6, 1996
Filed:
Sep 13, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/304975
Inventors:
Amy A. Ekechukwu - Augusta GA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Department of Energy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01N 2164
G01N 2176
US Classification:
436169
Abstract:
A method for making a composition for measuring the concentration of chloated aromatic compounds in aqueous fluids, and an optical probe for use with the method. The composition comprises a hydrophobic polymer matrix, preferably polyamide, with a fluorescent indicator uniformly dispersed therein. The indicator fluoresces in the presence of the chlorinated aromatic compounds with an intensity dependent on the concentration of these compounds in the fluid of interest, such as 8-amino-2-naphthalene sulfonate. The probe includes a hollow cylindrical housing that contains the composition in its distal end. The probe admits an aqueous fluid to the probe interior for exposure to the composition. An optical fiber transmits excitation light from a remote source to the composition while the indicator reacts with chlorinated aromatic compounds present in the fluid. The resulting fluorescence light signal is reflected to a second optical fiber that transmits the light to a spectrophotometer for analysis.

Liquid Electrode

View page
US Patent:
53264517, Jul 5, 1994
Filed:
Jan 6, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/002369
Inventors:
Amy A. Ekechukwu - Augusta GA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the United States
Department of Energy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01N 2726
US Classification:
204416
Abstract:
A dropping electrolyte electrode for use in electrochemical analysis of non-polar sample solutions, such as benzene or cyclohexane. The liquid electrode, preferably an aqueous salt solution immiscible in the sample solution, is introduced into the solution in dropwise fashion from a capillary. The electrolyte is introduced at a known rate, thus, the droplets each have the same volume and surface area. The electrode is used in making standard electrochemical measurements in order to determine properties of non-polar sample solutions.

Use Of A Fiber Optic Probe For Organic Species Determination

View page
US Patent:
55830510, Dec 10, 1996
Filed:
Jan 31, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/380921
Inventors:
Amy A. Ekechukwu - Augusta GA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Department of Energy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01N 2163
US Classification:
436169
Abstract:
A fiber optic probe for remotely detecting the presence and concentration organic species in aqueous solutions. The probe includes a cylindrical housing with an organic species indicator, preferably diaminonaphthyl sulfonic acid adsorbed in a silica gel (DANS-modified gel), contained in the probe's distal end. The probe admits aqueous solutions to the probe interior for mixing within the DANS-modified gel. An optical fiber transmits light through the DANS-modified gel while the indicator reacts with organic species present in the solution, thereby shifting the location of the fluorescent peak. The altered light is reflected to a receiving fiber that carries the light to a spectrophotometer or other analysis device.
