Electron beam irradiation is a method that has shown a good potential to reduce several pollutants in wastewater. One of the main challenges towards wider adoption of this method is the need for compact, reliable, cost-effective, high-power accelerators. Jefferson Lab is working on the design and prototyping of accelerator components, based on superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) technology, aiming at accelerators for industrial applications. The LDRD project aimed at designing, procuring, installing, and commissioning a beamline at the Upgraded Injector Test Facility (UITF) accelerator to allow electron-beam irradiation studies of different materials, beginning with wastewater. The availability of such beamline allows exploring the ability of electron-beam radiation to reduce or eliminate so-called “forever chemicals” that can be found in wastewater or industrial sites. After successful commissioning, the beamline was used to irradiate wastewater samples with different concentrations of 1,4-dioxane, in collaboration with Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD).
The profile of the forbidden line of C III (1909) is the same in two pseudo-trailed, low-resolution SWP spectra of the nucleus of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 obtained with the IUE in November 1980 and December 1982, respectively. In the 1980 spectrum, the C III forbidden line profile is also very nearly the same as that of the resonance line C IV (1550). In the 1982 spectrum, the continuum is 5 times higher and C IV is both much broader and much brighter. In the difference spectrum, which is interpreted to be the spectrum of a time-variable component, C IV (1550) is the only strong emission feature. The profile of this line closely resembles that of a spherical shell surrounding a less dense gas uniformly expanding from a central opaque object. From values of the profile parameters and from the observed time variability of the object, it is inferred that the shell has a radius of about 10 to the 15th cm, a mass of 0.25 solar mass, an expansion velocity of 13,000 km/s, and an electron density of 10 to the 11th per cu cm. From the line profile and the continuum, it is inferred that the opaque central source has approximate radius of 10 to the 14th cm and temperature 23,000 K.
