Exfiltrometer apparatus and method for measuring unsaturated hydrologic properties in soil

Patent Hubbell, Joel M.; Sisson, James B.; Schafer, Annette L.

Exfiltrometer apparatus includes a container for holding soil. A sample container for holding sample soil is positionable with respect to the container so that the sample soil contained in the sample container is in communication with soil contained in the container. A first tensiometer operatively associated with the sample container senses a surface water potential at about a surface of the sample soil contained in the sample container. A second tensiometer operatively associated with the sample container senses a first subsurface water potential below the surface of the sample soil.

Corona Method And Apparatus For Altering Carbon Containing Compounds

Patent Sharma, Amit K [Plainsboro, NJ]; Camaioni, Donald M [Richland, WA]; Josephson, Gary B [Richland, WA]

The present invention is a method and apparatus for altering a carbon-containing compound in an aqueous mixture. According to a first aspect of the present invention, it has been discovered that for an aqueous mixture having a carbon containing compound with an ozone reaction rate less than the ozone reaction rate of pentachlorophenol, use of corona discharge in a low or non-oxidizing atmosphere increases the rate of destruction of the carbon containing compound compared to corona discharge an oxidizing atmosphere. For an aqueous mixture containing pentachlorphenol, there was essentially no difference in destruction between atmospheres. According to a second aspectmore » « less
