Dispersions storage

Dispersing storage into loeations so that a release in one loeation will not eause a release in another loeation is also a praetieal way to reduee the risk or potential for eatastrophie ineidents. 

In milk of lime systems, it is important to prevent settling, as the resulting putty can be difficult to re-disperse. Storage tanks should, therefore, be agitated. The degree of agitation can be low and certainly should avoid forming a vortex, which will increase absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Testing of phthalocyanines includes crystallization (qv), flocculation, and appHcation in paints, plastics (qv), and printing inks (1). The ASTM standard specifications include CuPc in dry powder form for various appHcations (153). The specifications cover color (qv), character or tint, oil absorption, reactions in identification tests, and dispersions and storage stabiUty. Quantitative deterrninations are possible with ceric sulfate (30) or sodium vanadate (154). Identification methods are given (155), including tests for different appHcations. 

Many tracer chemicals are inherently unstable even as the unlabeled forms. Susceptibility of a chemical to hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis, and microbiological degradation needs to be evaluated when designing suitable storage conditions for the labeled compound. Eactors that reduce radiolytic degradation, such as dispersal in solution, are apt to increase chemical degradation or instability. 

Dispersions to be added to latex must have good storage stabiHty and be compatible with the latex the pH of each should be similar to that of the latex, eg, pH 8.5—11 for ammonia-preserved latex and pH 3.5 for cationic-preserved concentrates. Addition of low pH materials to high pH latex or vice versa generally results in mutual precipitation and coagulation of the suspended mbber particles. 

Properties. CoUoidal siUca is a stable aqueous dispersion or sol of discrete amorphous siUca particles having diameters of 1 to 100 nm. SiUca sols do not gel or setde out of solution for at least several years of storage. Aqueous sols that contain up to 50% siUca have been developed (30,31). Particle sizes of approximately 130 nm in diameter are possible (32), but slowly settle out of solution. 

In addition to platinum and related metals, the principal active component ia the multiflmctioaal systems is cerium oxide. Each catalytic coaverter coataias 50—100 g of finely divided ceria dispersed within the washcoat. Elucidatioa of the detailed behavior of cerium is difficult and compHcated by the presence of other additives, eg, lanthanum oxide, that perform related functions. Ceria acts as a stabilizer for the high surface area alumina, as a promoter of the water gas shift reaction, as an oxygen storage component, and as an enhancer of the NO reduction capability of rhodium. 

A solution of sulfur trioxide [7446-11-9] dissolved in chlorosulfonic acid [7990-94-5] CISO H, has been used as a smoke (U.S. designation FS) but it is not a U.S. standard agent (see Chlorosulfuric acid Sulfuric acid and sulfur trioxide). When FS is atomized in air, the sulfur trioxide evaporates from the small droplets and reacts with atmospheric moisture to form sulfuric acid vapor. This vapor condenses into minute droplets that form a dense white cloud. FS produces its effect almost instantaneously upon mechanical atomization into the atmosphere, except at very low temperatures. At such temperatures, the small amount of moisture normally present in the atmosphere, requires that FS be thermally generated with the addition of steam to be effective. FS can be used as a fill for artillery and mortar shells and bombs and can be effectively dispersed from low performance aircraft spray tanks. FS is both corrosive and toxic in the presence of moisture, which imposes limitations on its storage, handling, and use. 

Many proprietary carries are available as soHds (flakes or pellets) or in preemulsified form. These present some difficulties in the dyehouse. The former require dispersion in water through steam injection and addition to a preheated dyebath. The latter suffer from short storage life owing to separation of the emultion. Currently the industry prefers clear products easily emulsified by premixing with water at the time of use. 

Because nitrile rubber is an unsaturated copolymer it is sensitive to oxidative attack and addition of an antioxidant is necessary. The most common practice is to add an emulsion or dispersion of antioxidant or stabilizer to the latex before coagulation. This is sometimes done batchwise to the latex in the blend tank, and sometimes is added continuously to the latex as it is pumped toward further processing. PhenoHc, amine, and organic phosphite materials are used. Examples are di-Z fZ-butylcatechol, octylated diphenylamine, and tris(nonylphenyl) phosphite [26523-78-4]. All are meant to protect the product from oxidation during drying at elevated temperature and during storage until final use. Most mbber processors add additional antioxidant to their compounds when the NBR is mixed with fillers and curatives in order to extend the life of the final mbber part.
