Soda ash removes sulfur from fuels

Test show that adding soda ash (sodium bicarbonate) to coal/oil/water emulsion reduces 75 to 80% of sulfur dioxide gas emitted during subsequent combustion of emulsion.

An investigation of high-multiplicity gamma events in pp collisions with c.m. energies between 22 and 62 GeV

An experiment was conducted at the CERN intersecting storage rings using colliding proton beams to investigate high-multiplicity gamma-ray events. The objective of the study was to reveal certain features of multiple pion production as well as other possible mechanisms of gamma-ray production. The detector system consisted of ten planes of spark chambers, three scintillation counter hodoscopes and two arrays of lead-glass Cerenkov counters, the first array containing 16 counters and the second, 60 counters. The event trigger was obtained from the Cerenkov counters, and the energies in all the Cerenkov counters after trigger, as well as the information on all the charged particles given by the scintillation counters and spark chambers were recorded on magnetic tape. The relationship between the number of gamma-rays per event and the number of Cerenkov counters triggered by a neutral secondary was established by means of a Monte Carlo calculation.
