Laboratory Activities

Any site-related activities such as bench-scale laboratory and R D activities should comply with the OSHA Laboratory Standard (29 CER 1910.1450). R D activities involving pilot- or full-scale field operations should comply with HAZWOPER when there is reasonable possibility for worker exposure to hazardous wastes or substances or emergency response. 

If it is determined that HAZWOPER applies, a site-specific HASP should be developed. As previously mentioned, a HASP document provides the basis for a successful project. In Chapter 5 we will discuss the details for developing a site-specific HASP.

Observing Table 2.5 one can conclude that most of the volumetric properties of hydrothermal systems were determined by a reduced number of research groups. It follows a brief description of the main contributions of these groups to the pVTx data of hydrothermal systems. 

At the end of the 1960s the only reported data for hydro-thermal systems were those of Ellis for electrolytes and Franck for non-electrolytes. Ellis, in New Zealand, used a piezometer to determine the partial molar volume of several 1 1 and 1 2 electrolytes up to 200 °Cand 2 MPa, most of the cases in the concentration range 0.1 to l.OmoFkg (errors in the densities are considered 0.005%). Therefore, the extrapolation to infinite dilution was not very precise but the data were the first on ionic species above 100 °C after the pioneering density measurements of aqueous electrolytes by Noyes and co-workers at the beginning of the twentieth century. Noyes also performed the first measurements of electrical conductivity at high temperature and the specific volume determinations (with an accuracy 0.2-0.5%) were done with the conductivity cell.

Laboratories Listed toxic chemicals that are manufactured, processed, or otherwise used in laboratory activities at a covered facility under the direct supervision of a technically qualified individual do not have to be factored into the threshold and release calculations. However, pilot plant scale and specialty chemical production do not qualify for this laboratory activities exemption. 

Used either as prelaboratory preparation for related laboratory activities or to expose students to additional laboratory activities not available in their program, these modules motivate students to learn by proposing real-life problems in a virtual environment. Students make decisions on experimental design, observe reactions, record data, interpret these data, perform calculations, and draw conclusions from their results. Following a summary of the module, students test their understanding by applying what they have learned to new situations or by analyzing the effect of experimental errors.

Since September 1997, the Journal of Chemical Education (JCE) publishes on a regular base a Classroom Activity that is set separately on a distinct hard sheet, including both the student activity (on one side) and instructor information sheet (on the back side). These activities are designed to actively engage students, while the topics covered are usually coimected with everyday life and apphcations (e.g. acid rain, bath bubblers, toothpastes, water filtration, anthocyanins, latent fingerprints, etc.). Liapi and Tsaparlis (2007) have used three of these activities (acid rain, bath bubblers, toothpastes) in conjunction with two conventional laboratory activities (some properties of acids/some properties of bases) with a class of ninth-grade students in Greece. An evaluation by the students showed a very positive result in favour of the JCE Activities they are connected with life and involve creativity on the part of the students (Fig. 5.2). 

Expository-type laboratory activities will continue to be needed for the development of basic experimental skills of the students, despite their inefficiency in providing a realistic scientific environment and in promoting the use of higher-order cognitive skills. Even defenders of the conventiorral-type of laboratory and laboratory manrral do not claim that they are always wisely used, nor do they claim that they shorrldbe used exclusively (Ault, 2002 2004). However, the domirrant problem is that despite the fact that research has established the superiority of irrqrriry laboratory activities over verification laboratory activities, cookbook laboratory activities are still prevalent in many high school and college irrstitutions (Monteyne, Mark, Cracolice, 2004). ...

Other scientific disciplines required standards. WTien the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) was founded in 1925, one of its chief roles was to be a source of standards for the rapidly developing public health laboratory activity in the USA. In this context we mean standard organisms, rather than standard materials or chemicals, but their use was analogous, they helped produce better analytical data.
