The basin sludge portion of the Grit 1 surrogate was produced by weighing the
appropriate amount of copper metal powder and dissolving it in dilute nitric
acid which provided the nitrate. Zirconium powder, sulfuric acid, and
hydrofluoric was added and mixed with the liquid in the preceding sequence.
Sodium carbonate was used to neutralize the liquid, and then the chemical
tracer compounds were added. The final pH was adjusted to a neutral value
with nitric acid and sodium carbonate as appropriate. The liquid was dried,
-- mil_fied, cieved to =20 mesh,--and- blended p^rior to use.
The basin crystal portion of Grit 2 surrogate waste was made by weighing and
dissolving the appropriate proportions of sodium nitrate, sodium sulfate,
sodium fluoride, and sodium carbonate in water. The trace compounds were also
added and stirred into the mixture. The liquid was then dried, milled, sieved
to -20 mesh, and blended prior to use. Some carbonate was added as a source
of sodium.

gallons per day of process water. The process sewer stream is monitored
