Paper products are a $125-billion business in the U.S. making it the nation's eighth largest industry. Currently, all but one U.S. paper mill rely on chlorine-based chemicals to bleach pulp for the production of white paper. Chlorine bleaching creates wastewater containing hazardous organic compounds such as dioxin.
The EPA has proposed rules that would require U.S. mills to reduce or eliminate chlorine. In Europe, manufacturers already have begun changing to a substitute bleaching process that uses a combination of oxygen-based chemicals including ozone. While environmentally friendly, oxygen bleaching processes are costly.
The POZONE technique, which has been patented and is available for licensing, can substantially reduce the costs of generating ozone for the paper industry. U.S. paper mills produced about 14 million tons of pulp in 1993. With about 15 pounds of ozone required to bleach each ton of pulp, the savings from their process could total some $105 million/year in the U.S. alone.
The paper-making process starts by feeding wood chips into a digester, which cooks the wood down into pulp. Pulp looks and feels like whole-wheat bread dough. It consists of cellulose fibers, from which paper will be made, and about five percent lignin, a natural resinous adhesive which gives the pulp a brownish color. To create white paper from brown pulp, paper makers use a series of treatments with bleaching agents.
Both chlorine and oxygen-based bleaching processes can be effective. Both work by breaking down and destroying the lignin. The difference is that chlorine bleaching--the cheaper alternative--has environmental consequences.
In the conventional ozone production process, ozone is generated electrically. The POZONE process--useful in both pulp bleaching and effluent treatment--generates ozone by chemical means through the reaction of yellow phosphorus with the oxygen in air.
The POZONE process originally was conceived in order to deal with a different problem. In recent years, Chang and his group have focused on devising new approaches for removing the airborne pollutants emitted by plants that burn fossil fuels, patenting three separate processes. One technology, called PhoSNOX, allows existing power plant scrubbers to perform double duty, not only removing sulfur dioxide but also capturing nitrogen oxides. Part of this multi-stage PhoSNOX process is a new and cheaper means to generate ozone. This created the basis for POZONE.
Says Chang, "The potential for POZONE extends well beyond the pulp industry. The semiconductor industry could benefit, as could the national effort to clean up groundwater contaminated with solvents. In both cases, activated carbon often is used to adsorb volatile organic compounds. POZONE can be used to regenerate (recycle) the carbon, reducing costs."
Members of Chang's Flue Gas Chemistry Group include Shu-Mei Wang, who has worked on POZONE for the past three years, David Littlejohn, and Loc Lee.
The IUPAC committee's decision, which was announced in this week's issue of Chemical and Engineering News (C&EN), was actually made at a meeting in Hungary on August 31 for the purpose of naming elements 101 through 109. Prior to voting on nomenclature, the committee adopted, by a vote of 16-4, a new rule that no element should be named for a living person. (The vote to replace the name seaborgium passed 18-2.) Both Albert Einstein and Enrico Fermi were alive when elements 99 and 100 were named for them.
In response to the announcement, LBL Director Charles Shank issued a statement expressing "dismay" with the IUPAC committee's rejection of the name seaborgium.
"Credit for the discovery of element 106 is undisputed and the discovery team unanimously selected the name seaborgium," Shank said. "There has never been any debate about the right of acknowledged discoverers to name an element. We will strongly defend this privilege."
Element 106 was first created and identified in 1974 at LBL by a team of researchers led by LBL physicist Albert Ghiorso and LLNL chemist Kenneth Hulet. It was confirmed in 1993 in an experiment at the 88-Inch Cyclotron led by Ken Gregorich and Darleane Hoffman of the Nuclear Science Division. The name seaborgium, with the chemical symbol "Sg," was announced last March at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society. The ACS's own nomenclature committee promptly adopted the name.
DuPont chemist Anthony Arduengo III, who was one of five Americans on the 20-member IUPAC nomenclature committee (the other members were from Australia, Finland, Hungary, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom), defended the committee's decision to ignore the wishes of 106's discoverers.
"Discoverers don't have a right to name an element," he told C&EN. "They have a right to suggest a name. And, of course, we didn't infringe on that at all."
However, as Seaborg noted in the C&EN article, "This would be the first time in history that the acknowledged and uncontested discoverers of an element are denied the privilege of naming it."
The IUPAC nomenclature committee's decisions came on the heels of the rulings of another international committee that spent six years resolving disputed claims of discovery. The first committee, called the Transfermium Working Group (TWG), was jointly convened in 1986 by IUPAC and the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. It reviewed research data submitted from LBL, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, and GSI in Darmstadt, Germany.
The TWG gave full credit for the discovery of 106 to the Ghiorso-Hulet team. Although the TWG ruled that LBL and the Russian group should share credit for the discovery of elements 104 and 105 (a decision with which Seaborg and Ghiorso disagreed), IUPAC's nomenclature committee elected to recommend the two Russian-proposed names of "dubnium" and "joliotium." The committee then assigned the name "rutherfordium," which had been proposed by the LBL group for 104, to element 106. The name "bohrium" was recommended for 107 (instead of GSI's choice of nielsbohrium), and "hahnium" for 108 (instead of GSI's choice of hassium). Hahnium had originally been proposed by the LBL group for element 105. The German proposal of "meitnerium" for 109 was allowed to stand, as were the names proposed for elements 101, 102, and 103 --"mendelevium," "nobelium," and "lawrencium," respectively.
These name recommendations must be ratified by the full IUPAC council, which meets in England next August. The U.S. National Committee for IUPAC is planning to issue a letter requesting that until then, in accordance with IUPAC rules, the recommended names be clearly labeled as "provisional." ACS Board of Directors Chair Paul Walter has also expressed disappointment with the IUPAC committee's decision.
PHOTO CAPTION -- "My crime is still being alive," Glenn Seaborg told reporters in response to IUPAC's recommendation that his name be stripped from element 106.
Fragiadakis will discuss technology transfer and how it fits into the LBL and DOE missions. She will describe some of the opportunities, costs, and benefits to LBL scientists, engineers and other technical staff.
Fragiadakis was previously division administrator for the Energy and Environment Division. Before joining LBL, she worked for 11 years in industry. She received her bachelor's degree in chemical and petroleum refining engineering from the Colorado School of Mines, and her MBA from UC Berkeley in 1978. She is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of California.
The citation reads as follows:
"For his courageous leadership in the successful campaign on behalf of human rights for scientists in the Soviet Union--as co-founder of the international organization Scientists for Sakharov, Orlov, and Sharansky (SOS). For his leadership, during a critical period, of the APS's Committee for the International Freedom of Scientists. And for his patient, thoughtful and motivational interaction with students and younger colleagues, and his many acts of personal generosity toward his fellow workers."
Sessler, a physicist, spoke on behalf of the Committee of Concerned Scientists this summer at a Tiananmen Square commemoration in San Francisco, saying, "Human rights is a subject of great concern to scientists, perhaps because it is at the very core of scientific inquiry." He will receive the award at the November meeting of the Division of Plasma Physics in Minneapolis, Minn.
In conjunction with the meeting, a special workshop on infrared micro-spectroscopy will be held at the ALS on Thursday, Oct. 21, from 2:30 to 5 p.m.
This year more than 20 vendors will display their products in the ALS experiment floor area of Bldg. 6 from noon to 2 p.m. on Thursday and noon to 3 p.m. on Friday. LBL employees are invited to attend. Please note that the ALS floor is a restricted access area, so anyone who is not wearing a radiation-monitoring badge will be asked to fill out an ALS Casual Visitor Form (available in the Bldg. 6 lobby during the exhibit) before entering the experiment floor area.
Anyone who wishes to attend the meeting or workshop, but has not yet registered should call X4257 for registration forms.
Cork came to LBL as a graduate student and research assistant in 1946, joining the group working with Luis Alvarez on the linear accelerator project. He had previously worked with Alvarez on secret radar research at MIT.
A native of Peck, Mich., Cork had attended the University of Michigan, Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, Columbia University, and MIT before his education was interrupted by the war. He completed the work towards his doctorate at UC Berkeley, and received a Ph.D. in physics in 1960. He became a member of Fred Lofgren's physics group, and participated in the group's experiments on scattering of strongly interacting particles, discovery of production of antineutrons, and measurement of nonconservation of parity in the decay of strange particles. He spent a year at CERN, Geneva.
In 1968 Cork and colleagues, working at a high-altitude laboratory on Mount Evans, Col., completed a search for quarks in cosmic rays. No quarks were found, but a new upper limit of the cross section was determined.
From 1968 to 1973, Cork was associate laboratory directory for high energy physics at Argonne National Laboratory. In September 1973, he returned to LBL, where he resumed his research with the Lofgren physics group. He initiated an LBL collaboration with the PEP-12 experiment at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, where Argonne Laboratory's large diameter superconducting magnet was transported cross country to become the foundation for the collaboration's High Resolution Spectrometer.
Cork retired from LBL in 1986. He is survived by his wife, Sue, four children, and 11 grandchildren. Memorial gifts may be made to Hospice of Northern California, Parkinson Foundation East Bay Chapter of A.P.D.A., or the Nature Conservancy.
Services will be held at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 19, at the First Unitarian Church, 1 Lawson Rd., Kensington. For more information, please contact Debbie Giallombardo at X4834.
John Harsanyi, a Hungarian-born 74-year-old emeritus professor at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, shared the prize in economics with John Nash of Princeton and Reinhard Selten of the University of Bonn. All three men were pioneers in the field of "game theory," in which economic decision-making, for governments or businesses, is based on anticipating the actions of competitors rather than predicting trends in the market.
The physics prize was awarded to Clifford Shull, 79, a retired physicist from MIT, and Bertram Brockhouse, 76, a Canadian physicist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. They won for their development of the neutron scattering technique, in which a beam of neutrons is used to reveal the atomic structure of a liquid or solid. Shull was recognized for showing what atoms are and Brockhouse for revealing what atoms do. Using ORNL's reactor (the first in the U.S.) Shull examined the arrangement of atoms. Brockhouse, using his country's first reactor--the Chalk River Research Reactor, explored atomic motion.
The sole winner of this year's prize in chemistry was George Olah, 67, of the University of Southern California, for his research into hydrocarbons. During the 1960s, Olah discovered that extremely strong acids could be used to break down hydrocarbons and make them easier to study. His research revolutionized the field and paved the way for industrial developments such as plastics, high-octane gasoline, and coal liquefaction.
In medicine, the prize went to Dr. Alfred Gilman, 53, of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and Dr. Martin Rodbell, 68, retired head of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The two shared the prize for the discovery in the 1960s of G-proteins, a natural substance that helps cells convert outside signals, such as light and sound, into life-sustaining chemical reactions. Their findings led to a new understanding of diseases such as diabetes and alcoholism.
Invited keynote speakers include: Wilma Mankiller, Cherokee Nation principal chief; William P. Yellowtail, Environmental Protection Agency regional administrator; Don Coyhis, president, White Bison, Inc.; Craig Barrett, chief operating officer, Intel Corp.; Ed Zschau, vice president, IBM; and Terry A. Vaeth, an acting manager in the U.S. Department of Energy.

For example, if you are in the market for a new refrigerator, you may be surprised to know that not all refrigerators are equal in energy consumption. Consulting the yellow "Energy Guide" labels on new refrigerators is the best way to determine relative energy use, but generally, refrigerators with a freezer top and cooler bottom configuration (or the reverse) use less energy than side-by-side models.
Size also makes a difference in a refrigerator's electrical consumption--buying a refrigerator that is just the right size for your needs can save you money. If you are replacing a refrigerator that was made during the 1970s or early '80, you can expect to save 50 percent or more of the electrical costs. Refrigerators are typically the largest user of electricity in the home, so these savings could add up to hundreds of dollars each year.
According to PG&E, the average home spends 20 percent of its monthly electrical bill on lighting. By replacing incandescent lighting with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), residential consumers can save 75 percent of their electrical costs per lamp replaced. Also, improvements in start rate, color, and size in the past few years have made CFLs an appealing alternative for a wider variety of applications. CFLs are available at most hardware and lighting stores.
In the near future, residential energy consumers can look forward to purchasing portable table lamps and other fixtures specifically designed to utilize compact fluorescent lamps. These table lamps will be more cost effective, energy efficient, and will provide better light quality than the current screw-in retrofits. Also, more homes will be built with permanent fixture systems utilizing CFLs, including exterior and ceiling mounted fixtures. To facilitate these changes, LBL's Building Technologies Program in the Energy & Environment Division is designing a program to accelerate the use of new CFL technologies in residential applications.
Another area for saving energy at home includes the use of new energy-efficient windows. Energy-efficient windows reduce energy consumption and increase physical comfort. Windows that keep out both cold and heat create a comfortable home environment while allowing heating and cooling systems to operate more efficiently.
Two new window technologies offer better insulation in winter: Low emissivity (low-e) glass has a special coating on its surface that reduces radiant heat flow. Gas-filled windows use an inert gas, such as argon, instead of air between the panes of glass. Other window technologies using new types of glass tints or coatings keep out the sun's heat, yet let in visible light. The Building Technologies Program worked with a variety of manufacturers to develop and commercialize these technologies.
