Carbon disulfide [75-15-0] (carbon bisulfide, dithiocarbonic anhydride), CS2, is a toxic, dense liquid of high volatiUty and fiammabiUty. It is an important industrial chemical and its properties are well estabUshed. Low concentrations of carbon disulfide naturally discharge into the atmosphere from certain soils, and carbon disulfide has been detected in mustard oil, volcanic gases, and cmde petroleum. Carbon disulfide is an unintentional by-product of many combustion and high temperature industrial processes where sulfur compounds are present. 

After acyl halides, acid anhydrides are the most reactive carboxylic acid derivatives. Three of them, acetic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, and maleic anhydride, are industrial chemicals and are encountered far- more often than others. Phthalic anhydride and maleic anhydride have their- anhydride function incorporated into a ring and are refened to as cyclic anhydrides. 

It is common practice to refer to the molecular species HX and also the pure (anhydrous) compounds as hydrogen halides, and to call their aqueous solutions hydrohalic acids. Both the anhydrous compounds and their aqueous solutions will be considered in this section. HCl and hydrochloric acid are major industrial chemicals and there is also a substantial production of HF and hydrofluoric acid. HBr and hydrobromic acid are made on a much smaller scale and there seems to be little industrial demand for HI and hydriodic acid. It will be convenient to discuss first the preparation and industrial uses of the compounds and then to consider their molecular and bulk physical properties. The chemical reactivity of the anhydrous compounds and their acidic aqueous solutions will then be reviewed, and the section concludes with a discussion of the anhydrous compounds as nonaqueous solvents. 

Multidimensional chromatography has also been applied for the analysis of industrial chemicals and related samples. Industrial samples which have been analyzed by multidimensional chromatography include coal tar, antiknock additives in gasoline (3), light hydrocarbons (4, 5), trihaloalkanes and trihaloalkenes in industrial solvents (6-8), soot and particulate extracts, and various industrial chemicals that might be present in gasoline and oil samples.

Rubber bellows casings and sealing rings are vulnerable to temperature and are thus limited to a range of between 0°C to 100°C (32°F to 212°F). Rubber is compatible with most industrial chemicals and is particularly useful in the presence of solids.

The safety of a diet could be defined as the overall risk-benefit of consuming that diet over a lifetime. This concept is not one that is applied in determining the safety of a chemical in food. Safety is almost invariably considered as the absence, or minimisation, of risk and not as the maximisation of benefit. Consequently, the scientific basis for regulating food chemicals is based on principles that were developed for assessing the risks posed by pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals, and minimising these, rather than for maximising the benefits.

In 1973 the companies specializing in the production of industrial chemicals and synthetic materials needed to raise about 6,000,000,000. It was expected that about 80% of that would be obtained from net income and depreciation charges. About 10% would be borrowed and the remaining 10%would come from the other categories.19...

Ecological risk assessment in EIA is to evaluate the probability that adverse ecological effects will occur as a result of exposure to stressors2 related to a proposed development and the magnitude of these adverse effects (Smrchek and Zeeman, 1998 US EPA, 1998 Demidova, 2002). A lion s share of site-specific EcoRAs were concerned with chemical stressors—industrial chemicals and pesticides. 

Hexanc is a very volatile aliphatic hydrocarbon. It is a constituent in the paraffin fraction of crude oil and natural gas and is also used as an industrial chemical and laboratory reagent. Laboratory grade -hexane contains approximately 99% w-hexane. "Hexane" or "hexanes" is a commercial and industrial product consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons with six carbon atoms and includes -hexane and its isomers 2-methylpentane and 3-methylpentane as well as small amounts of other hydrocarbons (Brugnone et al. 1991). Laboratory and industrial solvents such as "hexane" and petroleum ether contain -hexane from <0.1% to as much as 33% (Creaser et al. 1983). Information regarding the chemical identity of -hexane is located in Table 3-1.

Microtox responds well to a wide array of hydrophobic chemicals (see the work of Johnson [1998] in which a variety of pesticides, industrial chemicals and petroleum products were tested). Apparently, Microtox is highly responsive to compounds with a narcosis mode of toxicity (Johnson, 1998 Sabaliunas et al., 1998). As shown by Johnson (1998) chemicals that elicit narcosis include multiple chemical classes.
