A study was undertaken with a view to determine the basic mechanism of failure in series firing ability. The excitation time, transfer time and total rime of three different types of squibs (i) with LMNR as base (ii) with Lead Dimtro-ortho-cresol (LDNOC) as base and (in.) with charcoal plus potassium chlorate as base were determined...

No specific antidote. Management includes gastric lavage (+/- activated charcoal) plus ventilatory support and symptomatic management of acid-base and electrolyte imbalance, and the hyperthermia and resulting dehydration. Increased urine volume and its alkalinization facilitate salicylate renal elimination. Note ASA follows zero-order elimination kinetics at toxic doses. 

Monachit. A Ger blasting expl also known as Vigorit. Monachit I cont AN 81, trinitroxylene (TNX) 13, K nitrate 5, and flour 1%. Monachit II cont AN 64, TNX 12, K nitrate plus Na nitrate 3, K chloride 19, charcoal 1, collodion cotton 1%. Monachit II has a limit charge of more than 500g. Its vel of deton at d 1.20 g/cc is about 4800m/sec, while at d 1.56g/cc it falls to I780m/sec... 

Potassium" Dynamites (Dynamite a La Potasse). A series of expls proposed in 1873 by the British Dynamite Co, Ltd (which later became the Nobel Explosives Co, Ltd), which consisted of NG 15, saltpeter 70—75, plus paraffin and powdered charcoal 7-17%. Another mixt contained NG 18, saltpeter 71, charcoal 10, and paraffin 1%... 

After the third extraction, we measure the radon and its yield by adding several cc STP of carrier Ar to the melt water with He to 1.3-atm pressure and allow the radon to build up for 4 days. We also replace the spiral glass C02 trap with a charcoal trap to insure the collection of the carrier Ar with the radon. We then He-purge the water and collect the Rn with the carrier Ar on the charcoal at liquid air temperature. The Ar plus Rn is recovered from the charcoal at 300 °C purified over hot Ti and counted in a proportional counter. 

The hardware used for the hydrogenation of benzene is shown in Figure 4—2. The basic parts are three or four reactors in a series plus a separation section at the end. The reactors are vessels filled with catalysts in the form of charcoal or alumina pellets that are coated with one of the above metals. The catalyst is packed loosely enough that the feed can flow through, top to bottom, by gravity. 

From equation (2.8), the gaseous reaction products are seen to be 3CO2, 3CO and 2N2. Therefore, the reaction produces 8 moles of product gases from 4 moles of KNO3 (404 g) plus 7 moles of charcoal (84 g) plus 1 mole of sulfur (32 g) which is equivalent to a total of 520 g of black powder. 

A safety match requires for its ignition a rubbing on a "striking strip" which is covered with mixture such as consisting of red phosphorus 53, Sb sulfide 42 charcoal 5% in a binder such as NC lacquer, animal glue, dextrin, casein, plus hardener. Sb sulfide and charcoal serve as extenders to the phosphorus.

Saltpeter plus charcoal yields an alkali salt which hath a taste like that of the Salt of Tartar [potassium carbonate], and they differ but little in virtue.He does not say they are identical, though they would both be impure potassium carbonate. There simply did not exist at this time a clear conception of the idea of chemical substance, defined by material composition. The chief means of identifying an artificially prepared body was by its method of preparation. The inevitable presence of impurities made precise identification by explicit properties uncertain in any case, and here Lemery exhibits proper caution in indicating only the similarity rather than the identity of salt of tartar and the product of charcoal in molten saltpeter. 

In addition to the charge of activated charcoal A, a thermal layer T of broken rock is laid in the adsorber to absorb heat should the charcoal layer ignite. The air plus solvent passes through fan V, valve (7), layers T, A and valve (2). When the charcoal is saturated with solvent both valves are closed, the steam is introduced through valve (3), valve (4) is opened and the alcohol and ether are distilled off and passed to the condenser (5). The condensed solvent and water is collected in the lower section (6), and from there conveyed by pump (7) for rectification. After the solvent has been distilled the inflow of steam is stopped and hot air is passed through the adsorber, with valves (i) and (2) open. When the charcoal is dry the air heater is shut off (it is not shown in the figure) and the charge is cooled by means of cold water, after which the adsorber is ready for another adsorption cycle. 

The systemic availability of inhaled budesonide has been measured in 15 healthy volunteers, using an open crossover design. Each subject was given three treatments, intravenous budesonide 0.5 mg, inhaled budesonide (from a metered-dose inhaler with a Nebuhaler) 1 mg (200 micrograms x 5) plus oral charcoal, and inhaled budesonide 1 mg without oral charcoal. The treatment order was randomized. The mean systemic availability of inhaled budesonide compared with intravenous budesonide was 36% with charcoal and 35% without charcoal, indicating that the absorption of budesonide from the gastrointestinal tract did not contribute to its systemic availability. Pulmonary deposition was 36% with charcoal and 34% without. When the inhaler was used incorrectly, that is, the canister was shaken only before the first of the five inhalations, systemic availability fell by 50%. This shows that the performance of each inhaler is very dependent on proper use (16). 

Microbiologic culture studies are useful fc>r bacterial identification, especially when an ocular infection foils to respond to treatment. Cultures are often obtained from the eyelids, the conjimctiva, expressed material from the lacrimal sac, and the cornea. Because preserved ophthalmic anesthetics have a bacteriostatic effect, cultures should be obtained if possible before anesthetic instillation. In the case of corneal sampling, it is necessary to provide topical anesthesia for patient comfort. The anesthetic of choice is 0.5% proparacaine because it causes the least bacterial growth inhibition. To enhance the bacterial yield, sterile preservative-free anesthetic may be used. Samples obtained may be inoculated directly onto soUd media plates (e.g., blood agar). Amies without charcoal transport medium (e g., BBL CultureSwab Plus) appears to be an acceptable alternative to direct plating and has the added benefit of convenience.
