The guideword process can be supplemented by additional topics/questions based on an analysis of previously experienced design deficiencies and operational incidents. For instance, ICI has collated a database of over 350 operational incidents that it uses to refine its CHAZOP Study process. Some example questions for the CHAZOP Study are given in Appendix 8E at the end of this chapter. Of particular interest to the study is the effect of partial or catastrophic failures, recovery mechanisms (e.g., rollback and roll-forward), and the general usability of the system (e.g., the need for multiple screens to access data, screen refresh times, meaningful information displays). The list of questions can be expanded with operational and regulatory experience. 

This book is based on courses, which the authors have taught at Lyngby and Eindhoven for many years. For example. Chapters 1-3 form the basis for a mandatory course Kinetics and Catalysis presented in the second year of the Bachelor s curriculum at Eindhoven, while Chapters 4,5 and 8-10 formed the basis for an optional course Introduction to Catalysis. In Lyngby, Chapters 1-7 have been used for an optional course in Chemical Reaction Kinetics and Catalysis in the Master s curriculum. At the end of the book we have added a list of questions for every chapter. 

The "Questions" in these worked examples refer to the twelve questions in Chapter 3. Question 1 ("Is intentional chemistry performed at your facility ") should be answered YES for this example, since raw materials are processed such that a chemical reaction is intended to take place. Products are of a different chemical composition than the starting materials. Intentional chemistry is also likely being practiced in the waste treatment facility. 

Referring to the questions in Chapter 3, Question 1 ("Is intentional chemistry performed at your facility ") should be answered YES for this example. 

Referring to the questions in Chapter 3, Questions 1, 2, and 3 can be answered NO for this example, assuming chemical reactions, mixing, and physical processing are not intended to be part of the laboratory facilities. Question 4 should be answered YES, since oxygen is considered hazardous as an oxidizing gas. 

The forensic scientist has multiple analytic techniques available. Some are screening tests that may not absolutely identify the chemical in question but narrow the number of possibilities. Subsequently, the analyst will perform confirmatory tests in which the chemical is positively identified. It is important to remember that even though the analysis may reveal the presence of a drug, there may be a legitimate reason for such a finding. We will discuss such examples in individual chapters. 

Dyes with aromatic hydroxy compounds as coupling components, of which C.I. Disperse Yellow 3, 11855 [2832-40-8] is a representative example, have long been used to dye acetate fibers. Its use has been questioned for ecological reasons (see Chapter 8). For application to polyesters, sublimation fastness has been enhanced by increasing the size of the molecule. 

The spectrum in Figure 8.3(c) looks particularly bizarre and an obvious assignment, like for the examples discussed in Chapter 7, is not apparent. The primary questions are ... 

In addition to case studies, a course journal has also been an effective tool. Students were asked to complete problems related to basic chemistry topics and internet resources in the journal. For example, end-of-chapter problems in the textbook12 were often assigned and completed in the journal. Students were also asked to record comments and questions related to course materials and to maintain a project log. Specifically, journal entries included responses to and analysis of internet resources, responses to and analysis of lecture material, critical responses to periodical articles and government documents, project ideas, and project progress including data, interviews, and event logs. The journals were collected at least one time during the quarter and at the end of the quarter.
