The objective of this experimental investigation was to determine the feasability of micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) and vacuum stripping process in concentrating and separating trichloroethylene (TCE) from contaminated groundwater. The theory is to add surfactant to the contaminated groundwater to form micelles which bind the TCE molecules. The micelles containing the TCE are then removed by ultrafiltration using a spiral-wound membrane. To remove the TCE from the surfactant, this concentrated solution ...
With the forthcoming installation of the ARNIS computed tomography (CT) systems, CT will become an integral part of rocket nozzle inspection. However, the practical application of CT will require the development of associated capabilities which will permit CT to be routinely used for nozzle inspection and acceptance. One of these capabilities is the ability to identify and evaluate anomalies in an efficient, timely manner. Solution of this problem is complicated ...
