Flushing with

There are some theoretical complications discussed in Refs. 91 and 92. Experimental complications include adsorption of solvent or of film on the electrode [93,94] the effect may be used to detect atmospheric contaminants. The atmosphere around the electrode may be flushed with dry nitrogen to avoid condensation problems [87]. 

A dynamic-FAB probe having a simple copper target. The narrow fused-silica tube passes through the shaft, its end lying flush with the target surface. 

In operation, a spark source is normally first flushed with argon to remove loose particulate matter from any previous analysis. The argon flow is then reduced, and the cathode is preheated or conditioned with a short bum time (about 20 sec). The argon flow is then reduced once more, and the source is ran for sufficient time to build a signal from the sample. The spark is then stopped, and the process is repeated as many times as necessary to obtain a consistent series of analyses. The arc source operates continuously, and sample signal can be taken over long periods of time. 

Floor scales are platform scales which are permanently installed in a pit, flush with the floor, or which sit on the floor. These scales typically range in capacity from 500 kg to 30 t, and in size up to that required to accommodate a fork-lift tmck. 

Even small spills and leaks (<0.45 kg) require extreme caution. Unless the spill is contained in a fume hood, do not remain in or enter the area unless equipped with full protective equipment and clothing. Self-contained breathing apparatus should be used if the odor of acrolein or eye irritation is sensed. Small spills may be covered with absorbant, treated with aqueous alkalies, and flushed with water. 

Skin redness and from slight to corrosive irritation is caused by direct contact. Acryhc acid is more corrosive than esters. The monomers not only irritate the skin, but may also be absorbed through the skin. Therefore, gloves and protective clothing and shoes or boots should be used in addition to eye (or hiU face) protective equipment. Upon contact, the skin should be flushed with copious amounts of water foUow-up medical attention should be sought. Medical attention should also be obtained if any of the earlier mentioned symptoms appear. 

Adipic acid is an irritant to the mucous membranes. In case of contact with the eyes, they should be flushed with water. It emits acrid smoke and fumes on heating to decomposition. It can react with oxidizing materials, and the dust can explode ia admixture with air (see Table 3). Fires may be extinguished with water, CO2, foam, or dry chemicals. 

Mesh beds of knitted wire mesh, plastic, or glass fibers are used for the removal of Hquid particulates and mist. They will also remove soHd particles, but win plug rapidly unless irrigated or flushed with a particle-dissolving solvent. 

Disposal of waste or spilled caustic soda must meet all federal, state, and local regulations and be carried out by properly trained personnel. Accidental spills of dry caustic are shoveled and flushed with water caustic soda solutions must be diluted and neutralized with acid before discharging into sewers. Dilute acetic acid may be used to neutralize final traces of caustic. 

Valves are mounted so that the plug of the valve is flush with the tank to avoid a pocket of unpasteurized milk, and a leak detector valve permits drainage of the milk trapped in the plug of the valve. Ad. covers, piping, and tubing must drain away from the pasteurizer. 

Dusts associated with these oxidising compounds produce caustic irritation of skin, eyes, and nasal membranes. Appropriate protection should be worn when handling. Skin contact should be treated as for any caustic material, ie, flush with water and neutralize. Toxicity is low to moderate and is the same as for the hydroxides. Toxicity of the chlorate is greater than for the peroxides and superoxides, and the chlorate material also causes local irritation. 

When the mold is opened, the part should be easily removable. Cavities are made with a slight taper to reduce frictional drag of the part on the mold. The half of the mold attached to the movable platen is equipped with ejector pins, which push the part out of the cavity while the mold is being opened. When the mold is closed, the pins are flush with the cavity surface. Release agents or lubricants facilitate ejection and shorten the mol ding cycle. Some complex parts require that the mold open in several directions in addition to the direction of the platen movement. For a threaded part, eg, a bottle cap, part of the mold must be rotated to remove the article from the mold. 

Temperature. Temperature sensor selection and installation should be based on the process-related requirements of a particular situation, ie, temperature level and range, process environment, accuracy, and repeatabiHty. Accuracy and repeatabiHty are affected by the inherent characteristics of the device and its location and installation. For example, if the average temperature of a flowing fluid is to be measured, mounting the device nearly flush with... 

The primary advantages of implantable ports are no maintenance between uses other than periodic flushing with heparinized saline every 28 days to ensure patency, lower incidence of clotting and thrombosis, no dressing changes, insignificant infection incidence, unobtmsive cosmetic appearance, and no restriction on physical activity. 

In case of skin contact, the area should be washed thoroughly with water and examined by a physician if irritation persists. If exposed, the eyes should be flushed with water for at least 15 rninutes. Remove inhalation victims to fresh air and adrninister artificial respiration if the victim is not breathing. If ingested, vomiting should be induced. AU. incidents should be followed by prompt medical attention.

Toxicity Data on Af- Vinyl-2-Pyrrolidinone. Results of a chronic inhalation study in rats warrant a review of industrial hygiene practices to assure that VP vapor concentrations are maintained at a safe level. One of the manufacturers, ISP, recommends that an appropriate workplace exposure limit be set at 0.1 ppm (vapor) (9). Additionally, normal hygienic practices and precautions are recommended, such as prompt removal from skin and avoidance of ingestion. In case of accidental eye contact, immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Refer to the manufacturers Material Safety Data Sheets for more detailed information. Table 3 provides some toxicity data. 

Spills and Disposal Procedures. If a spiU occurs outdoors, personnel should stay upwind of it. If the spiU is in a diked area it may be possible to recover much of the bromine, otherwise it should be absorbed with appropriate material. A water spray can be used to control bromine vapors and a mild ammonia atmosphere helps to neutralize bromine vapors. Small spills may be neutralized with lime water slurry or soda ash and flushed with large amounts of cold water. 

Eye contact should be followed by flushing the eyes with large amounts of water. If irritation persists, medical attention should be obtained. Skin contact should be followed by flushing with water, using soap if available. Neopentanoic acid is combustible and will bum. Eire should be extinguished with foam, dry chemical, or water spray. 

If the test piece contains many holes, gas is indicated and the melt may be flushed with nitrogen to control this situation. SmaE amounts of deoxidi2er should be added to the gas-free melt untE shrinking of the test piece occurs. 

A simple separator used to recover the magnetic particles consists of a series of disks mounted on a shaft. Each disk has a number of permanent magnets mounted flush with the surface at its perimeter. The disks rotate into and out of the Hquid containing the suspended magnetic material and lift the magnetic particles out of the stream. The magnets are then scraped clean (Eig. 10). Very low residence times are needed for removal of the particles compared to settling or flotation (142). 

Stainless steel or epoxy-lined tank cars and tank tmcks are recommended for shipping. Aluminum also has been used. The tank can be flushed with carbon dioxide before loading and blanketed with nitrogen after loading. Dmm shipments are recommended in epoxy-lined open-head dmms fitted with a bung. Dimer acids and their by-products contaminated with iron or copper show accelerated color deterioration. Exposure to these metals or their salts should be minimised.
