Laboratory dust

Such stack failure can be avoided by assembling the stack in a low-dust laboratory and by photographing every plane during stack assembly. 

In practice, the NEP of a room-temperature THz spectrometer is usually limited by fluctuations (shot-noise) in the ambient blackbody radiation. Usmg an optical bandwidth Av = 3 THz (limited by, for example, a polyethylene/diamond dust window), a field of view (at nomial incidence) 0 = 9 and a detecting diameter (using a so-called Winston cone, which condenses the incident radiation onto the detecting element) laboratory applications, the background-limited NEP of a bolometer is given by...

The toxicity of these fluoroaluminates is mainly as inorganic fluorides. The ACGIH adopted (1992—1993) values for fluorides as F is TLV 2.5 mg/m. The oral toxicity in laboratory animal tests is reported to be LD q rat 2.15 mg/kg (41). Because of the fine nature of the products they can also be sources of chronic toxicity effects as dusts. 

Each plant or laboratory should adopt definite rules and procedures for electrical iastahations and work. All iastahations should be ia accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for the type of ha2ard, eg. Class I flammable gas or vapor Class II organic, metallic, or conductive dusts and Class III combustible fibers and the degree of process containment, eg. Division 1 open and Division 2 closed (67). Regardless of the flammabiUty of the materials ia the iastaHed operations, changes ia procedure involving use of such materials often occur, sometimes without concurrent alteration of the electrical iastaHation. 

Uniform, rehable flow of bulk soflds can allow the production of quaUty products with a minimum of waste, control dust and noise, and extend the hfe of a plant and maximi2e its productivity and output. By conducting laboratory tests and utili2ing experts with experience in applying soflds flow data, plant start-up delays that can impact schedule and cost can be eliminated. 

Antimony is not known to cause cancer, birth defects, or affect reproduction in humans. However, antimony has been shown to cause lung cancer in laboratory animals that inhaled antimony-containing dusts and prolonged exposure to antimony can cause irritation of the eyes, skin, lungs, and stomach, in the form of vomiting and diarrhea. Heart problems can also result from overexposure to antimony (33).

A number of attempts to produce tire refractory metals, such as titanium and zirconium, by molten chloride electrolysis have not met widr success with two exceptions. The electrolysis of caesium salts such as Cs2ZrCl6 and CsTaCle, and of the fluorides Na2ZrF6 and NaTaFg have produced satisfactoty products on the laboratory scale (Flengas and Pint, 1969) but other systems have produced merely metallic dusts aird dendritic deposits. These observations suggest tlrat, as in tire case of metal deposition from aqueous electrolytes, e.g. Ag from Ag(CN)/ instead of from AgNOj, tire formation of stable metal complexes in tire liquid electrolyte is the key to success. 

Classification is based on laboratory tests with synthetic dust and does not provide a basis for calculation of the life of air filters or assessment of the filter s performance in actual application. Moreover, the dust-holding capacity and average efficiency for each classification vary with final pressure loss and... 

Dust-holding capacity and test results from laboratory trials differ from performances in actual use. 

A well-designed auxiliary-air-supplied hood reduces air-conditioning costs and improves hood capture efficiency. The disadvantages of this hood include higher initial cost and maintenance due to the additional replacement air system, the possible introduction of airborne dust into the laboratory, discomfort... 

Under controlled conditions (e.g., in the laboratory), the inherent collection efficiency of fabric filters approaches 100 per cent. In actual operation, it is determined by several variables, in particular the properties of the dust to be removed, choice of filter fabric, gas velocity, method of cleaning, and cleaning cycle. Inefficiency usually results from bags that are poorly installed, torn, or stretched from excessive dust loading and excessive pressure drop.

Environmental effects are often underestimated during preliminary planning. Dust or fumes entering the laboratory each time the door is opened, for example, will certainly create trouble, as will high temperatures in the area adjacent to the laboratory. 

Vibration. A less obvious problem than dust, fumes, or heat is vibration, which may cause difficulties with some types of laboratory equipment, such as analytical balances. Vibration can also interfere with microscopic work, particularly if this is combined with photography. In industrial plants, operation of heavy equipment may cause considerable vibration and should be considered when laboratory location is determined. 

In the corner of another laboratory, there was an unsightly array of pipes and conduit. This was also a dust catcher. It was easily covered up with plywood panels, which were painted to match the surrounding walls.
