Title: Life Sciences Synthetic Fuels semiannual progress report for the period ending June 30, 1981

Abstract

Results of environmental and health related studies of synthetic fuels conducted in January-June 1981 are described. This report consists of four major parts, each identified with either a specific technology or with comparative, generic research activities. Activities at the University of Minnesota-Duluth (UMD) gasifier are described in Sect. 3 and reflect upon a period of almost continuous gasifier operation and intensive process monitoring. In Sect. 4, results are presented of industrial hygiene measurements at the Hazelton, Pennsylvania, Community Area New Development Organization (CAN-DO) gasifier and at the Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC). An extensive run of the H-Coal pilot plant began February 1981, and results of continued implementation of the environmental project are reported in Sect. 5. Finally, generic research activities concerned with the environmental and health evaluation of products, by-products, and effluents from fossil energy technologies are described in Sect. 6.
