Carbon flush

Silicone SKTV and SKTV-1 elastomers are used to produce gas-permeable membrane oxygenators for the apparatuses for blood oxygenation and dioxide carbon flushing. 

Cleaning Up Place the entire test solutions from parts 3(A), 3(B), 3(E), 3(F), and 3(G) in the halogenated organic solvents container. Dilute the solutions from tests 3(C) and 3(D) with water, place the organic layer in the organic solvents container and, after neutralization with sodium carbonate, flush the aqueous layer down the drain. 

Cleaning Up Add the water from the gas trap to the combined aqueous filtrates from all reactions and neutralize the solution by adding either 10% hydrochloric acid or sodium carbonate. Flush the neutral solution down the drain with a large excess of water. Any spilled drops of chlorosulfonic acid should be covered with sodium carbonate, the powder collected in a beaker, dissolved in water, and flushed down the drain. 

After neutralizing the aqueous filtrate with sodium carbonate, flush it and the mother liquor from crystallization down the drain with a large excess of water. 

Available Forms. Phthalocyanines are available as powders, in paste, or Hquid forms. They can be dispersed in various media suitable for aqueous, nonaqueous, or multipurpose systems, eg, polyethylene, polyamide, or nitrocellulose. Inert materials like clay, barium sulfate, calcium carbonates, or aluminum hydrate are the most common soHd extenders. Predispersed concentrates of the pigments, like flushes, are interesting for manufacturers of paints and inks (156), who do not own grinding or dispersing equipment. Pigment—water pastes, ie, presscakes, containing 50—75% weight of water, are also available. 

Use of dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide is recommended for cycloahphatic amine fire fighting. Water spray is recommended only to flush spills away to prevent exposures. In the aquatic environment, cyclohexylamine has a high (420 mg/L) toxicity threshold for bacteria (Pseudomonasputida) (68), and is considered biodegradable, that is, rnineralizable to CO2 and H2O, by acclimatized bacteria. 

Stainless steel or epoxy-lined tank cars and tank tmcks are recommended for shipping. Aluminum also has been used. The tank can be flushed with carbon dioxide before loading and blanketed with nitrogen after loading. Dmm shipments are recommended in epoxy-lined open-head dmms fitted with a bung. Dimer acids and their by-products contaminated with iron or copper show accelerated color deterioration. Exposure to these metals or their salts should be minimised. 

The primary reference method used for measuring carbon monoxide in the United States is based on nondispersive infrared (NDIR) photometry (1, 2). The principle involved is the preferential absorption of infrared radiation by carbon monoxide. Figure 14-1 is a schematic representation of an NDIR analyzer. The analyzer has a hot filament source of infrared radiation, a chopper, a sample cell, reference cell, and a detector. The reference cell is filled with a non-infrared-absorbing gas, and the sample cell is continuously flushed with ambient air containing an unknown amount of CO. The detector cell is divided into two compartments by a flexible membrane, with each compartment filled with CO. Movement of the membrane causes a change in electrical capacitance in a control circuit whose signal is processed and fed to a recorder.
