Chemicals handling liquid

The techniques used for handling various materials depend on their physical states as well as their chemical properties. While it is comparatively easy to handle liquids and solids, it is not as convenient to measure out a quantity of a gas. Fortunately, except under rather extreme conditions, all gases have similar physical properties, and the chemical identity of the substance does not influence those properties. For example, all gases expand when they are heated in a nonrigid container and contract when they are cooled or subjected to increased pressure. They readily diffuse through other gases. Any quantity of gas will occupy the entire volume of its container, regardless of the size of the container. 

At least one potassium bicarbonate dry chemical extinguisher (120-B C) should be provided at each fired process heater handling liquid fuel or a liquid process stream. They should be installed on opposite sides, or ends, and adjacent to fire aisles. 

Skin should be protected by gloves (preferably nitrile or butyl rubber), boots, and long-sleeve clothing. For the protection of eyes, safety glasses with side shields or splash goggles are the best choice when handling liquid chemicals. If spray equipment is used, proper respiratory protection may be needed. If any contact with the chemical occurs, the affected area has to be washed with soap and water immediately solvents should not be used. In extreme cases, proper medical help may be required.

This Savannah, Georgia, terminal was a subsidiary of a company in the United Kingdom. The 6-acre terminal handled liquid chemicals and was situated a little more than a half-mile from the Savannah River. The terminal was located about two miles from the downtown area in Savannah and just northeast of the city limits. There was a residential development of town homes bordering the terminal as well as numerous commercial and industrial facilities and an elementary school in the area. This transfer facility served the paper and pulp industry and provided chemical storage for third-party suppliers. The facility could receive and send chemicals by water, rail, and the highway systems. The six giant tanks were only about three years old when they were destroyed. [11,12]... 

Polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS), (CH3)3SiO(CH3HSiO) Si(CH])3, where n is 35. PMHS is an easily handled, chemically inert liquid it is made by Dow Corning and supplied by Aldrich. See 3,294. 

There are many laboratory procedures that could not be accomplished without these gases, and the gas containers used to transport and store them. This section will mostly discuss gas cylinders. Gas cylinders present hazards beyond those encountered in handling liquid and solid chemicals. We will discuss each of these in a general sense, but it will be up to you to know the hazards of the particular chemical you will be using. Gases and their cylinders present a number of potential hazards associated with them. These are summarized in Table 5.3.1.1 and each entry will be discussed more below. 

Amongst the many solvents that can be used to extract and dissolve natural and artificial chemicals, carbon dioxide in its liquid form is one of the most interesting not only because of its physical properties, but also because of its lack of toxicity. Sparkling mineral waters and soft drinks are good examples. The only serious drawback in handling liquid CO2 is that it is... 

Chemical-process industries Even if niobium and niobium alloys are less corrosion resistant than tantalum and tantalum alloys, owing to its lower cost and its density, which is half that of tantalum, it can be used efficiently in applications handling corrosive chemicals at lower temperature and concentration. On the other hand, the niobium alloy Nb-lZr is extremely corrosion resistant to molten alkali metals such as lithium and sodium up to 1000°C, and, owing to the low capture cross section for thermal neutrons, it was extensively used for tubing and for handling liquid alkali metals in heat-transfer loops used in nuclear fast neutron breeder reactors. ...
