Columnar denitrification of a munitions waste
The removal of nitrate nitrogen from a munitions waste by means of bacterial reduction was investigated using packed anaerobic columns. The feasibility of using a munitions waste high in organic carbon (Water Dry Process Waste) as the organic carbon source was also investigated. Simultaneously the …

The bombshell - more than munitions 1917-1919
This thesis examines the content of The Bombshell during the period 1917 and 1919 in order to explore how the culture of the workforce, predominantly women workers, was represented during a period of both war and peace. This will be performed by examining themes, which appear in The Bombshell, of …

Contingency munitions logistics planning and control : a framework for analysis
… the mobilization of containerized sustainment munitions. To provide necessary background, a high level description of CONUS transshipment operations and network infrastructure is given, along with a review of automated information systems being developed to provide real-time total asset …

The treatability of a munitions-manufacturing waste with activated carbon
… and domestic wastes. The treatability of a munitions-manufacturing waste with activated carbon was investigated. The treatability of the waste was assessed in the laboratory by several methods used routinely for evaluating activated carbon efficiency. Both short and long term batch tests as …

Optimizing terminal conditions using geometric guidance for low-control authority munitions
… path angle at the target. Many small guided munitions have limited control authority to achieve these competing objectives due to system hardware tradeoffs. This thesis develops guidance algorithm modifications that demonstrate consistent improvement in achieving these objectives over …

Biodegradation of 2,4-Dinitrotoluene in the Waste Streams of a Munitions Plant
… during aerobic treatment has been observed at a munitions wastewater treatment plant, necessitating the use of activated carbon pre-treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nutrient and cosubstrate amendments on the rate and extent of DNT removal. Addition of ethanol …

UHF-SAR and LIDAR Complementary Sensor Fusion for Unexploded Buried Munitions Detection
Given the UHF bands properties of foliage and round penetration, a UHF-SAR image contains both above- and below-surface scatterers. The problem of detecting sub-surface objects is problematic due to the presence of above-surface scatterers in the detection images. In case of a single-pass anomaly …

The treatment of a munitions manufacturing waste with lime, chlorine and permanganate
… wastewater. Their effectiveness in treating munitions manufacturing wastes was determined in a laboratory study using bench scale coagulation tests designed to simulate the facilities presently used to treat the wastewater. The wastewater from the new counter-current flow TNT manufacturing …

Degradation of the Insensitive Munitions Compound 3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) via Sequential Reducing-Oxidizing Conditions
Insensitive Munitions Compounds (IMCs) have been used by the U.S. Army as replacements for conventional explosives. The detonation of these compounds requires higher activation energy, avoiding the occurrence of accidental explosions. The nitro heterocyclic compound 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one …

The `Peace Arsenal' scheme: the campaign for non-munitions work at the Royal Ordnance Factories, Woolwich, after the First World War
Following the Armistice many Arsenal workers wanted to retain their well-paid employment. There was a well established community; there was little comparable work in the locality and accommodation was difficult to find elsewhere. In order to secure peacetime production at the Arsenal, the labour …

Potential PFAS products from thermal decomposition of munitions: a DFT analysis of pyrolysis products of fluoropolymers in the presence of energetic compounds
… of a novel source of PFAS, the disposal of munitions. Most munitions contain energetic compounds, to serve as the source of energy in detonation events, and fluoropolymers, to bind formulations as a means of stabilization, to seal the formulation away from the elements, or to serve as a …

Arms production and war supply in Southern Africa 1939-1945 : limitations of the industrial war effort of South Africa and Zimbabwe during the second world war
This thesis will discuss the production of munitions of war in South Africa and Zimbabwe as a contribution to the study of the effects of the Second World War on Africa. The thesis will argue that South Africa was not well prepared for the industrial war effort mainly because there were few large …
