Conventional mass spectrometers retrofitted with an Electrodynamic Ion Funnel use a series of conductive ring electrodes to confine and more effectively focus and transmit ions to be measured. A nearly 100 percent efficiency in moving ions to the analyzer results in an enormous gain in sensitivity, improved data collection, new applications and greater understanding of the substances analyzed. It' s a comprehensive, integrated suite of software that enables researchers to focus advanced simulation and modeling techniques on understanding the chemical phenomena associated with complex issues such as environmental cleanup and global change. The software suite allows chemists to model, simulate and predict the characteristics of chemical systems with a level of accuracy equal to that of the most sophisticated experimental approaches. Centrate Ammonia Recovery Process.
Nitrates are harmful to human health and a widespread environmental problem.
Incorporating a newly designed adsorption resin and regeneration solution, the CAR process extracts ammonia out of sewage treatment liquid and livestock waste then converts it into standard commercial-grade, ammonium sulfate fertilizer, a dry odorless product. The technology was jointly developed by Pacific Northwest, Battelle and Scotts Co., which collaborated with ThermoEnergy Corp. and Foster Wheeler on a demonstration plant on Staten Island, New York. Pacific Northwest is one of DOE's nine multiprogram national laboratories and conducts research in the fields of environment, energy, health sciences and national security. Battelle, based in Columbus, Ohio, has operated Pacific Northwest for DOE since 1965.
