Production and Separations for High Specific Activity 186 Re, 189 Re and 47 Sc for Research and Clinical Applications: effective design of targets and recycling of targets and radioisotope separation

This grant involved three objectives for producing high specific activity radionuclides using reactor and accelerator technologies that would find use in medical, industrial and research applications. There was a strong emphasis in all projects to develop and train staff and students in all aspects of targetry, reactor and accelerator production, separation of radionuclides from enriched target material, and evaluating the specific activity of the product radionuclides. An additional objective was training of students (undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral) in all aspects of radiochemistry.

Electron mass enhancement and magnetic phase separation near the Mott transition in double-layer ruthenates

Here, we present a detailed investigation of the specific heat of Ca 3 (Ru 1-x M x ) 2 O 7 (M = Ti, Fe, Mn) single crystals. Depending on the dopant and doping level, three distinct regions are present: a quasitwo-dimensional metallic state with antiferromagnetic (AFM) order formed by ferromagnetic bilayers (AFM-b), a Mott insulating state with G-type AFM order (G-AFM), and a localized state with a mixed AFM-b and G-AFM phase. Our specific heat data provide deep insights into the Mott transitions induced by Ti and Mn doping. We observed not only an anomalous large mass enhancement, but also an additional term in the specific heat, i.e., C ∝ T 2 , in the localized region. The C ∝ T 2 term is most likely due to long-wavelength excitations with both FM and AFM components. A decrease in the Debye temperature is observed in the G-type AFM region, indicating lattice softening associated with the Mott transition.

Fed-batch hydrolysate addition and cell separation by settling in high cell density lignocellulosic ethanol fermentations on AFEX™ corn stover in the Rapid Bioconversion with Integrated recycling Technology process

Abstract The Rapid Bioconversion with Integrated recycling Technology (RaBIT) process uses enzyme and yeast recycling to improve cellulosic ethanol production economics. The previous versions of the RaBIT process exhibited decreased xylose consumption using cell recycle for a variety of different micro-organisms. Process changes were tested in an attempt to eliminate the xylose consumption decrease. Three different RaBIT process changes were evaluated in this work including (1) shortening the fermentation time, (2) fed-batch hydrolysate addition, and (3) selective cell recycling using a settling method. Shorting the RaBIT fermentation process to 11 h and introducing fed-batch hydrolysate addition eliminated any xylose consumption decrease over ten fermentation cycles; otherwise, decreased xylose consumption was apparent by the third cell recycle event. However, partial removal of yeast cells during recycle was not economical when compared to recycling all yeast cells.
