Restoration and Cleaning

The surface structure, and especially its roughness, is a decisive parameter for glass weathering. Therefore, the selection of an appropriate cleaning process has to take into account not only its effectiveness, but also the potential damage for the object. 

In accordance with the general conservation principle of minimum intervention, the main objective is to conserve the glass, and not to recover transparency, through removal of corrosion products and deposits. Only in exceptional circumstances, therefore, may weathering layers be removed to increase the transparency of the glass or to support its interpretation. In any case, damage to the hydrated layer must be avoided this layer is considered to be the skin of the glass, which protects it from further attack. 

A variety of dry methods are at the disposal of the conservator to remove dirt and other solid deposits from the surface soft bristle brushes may be sufficient for the removal of porous encrustations, whereas more severely

Glean Water Act. The Water QuaUty Act of 1987 and Clean Water Act of 1977 amended the Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, and are known collectively as the Clean Water Act (CWA). Their objective is to restore and maintain the integrity of U.S. waters. There are spill prevention, control, and containment requirements with which to comply. It requires replacement of older storage tanks or installation of double bottoms or seals. 

The Clean Water Act strives to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation s water. The act sets up a system of water quality standards, discharge limitations, and permits. If a project may result in the... 

Under the conditions used in this study, the catalytic activities were stable for NO reduction for all catalysts. However, in NOj reduction, deactivation was observed. For catalyst 1-7, there was a rapid, reversible deactivation that was more noticeable at lower temperatures. The activity could be restored by removing propene from the feed. Therefore, it was likely due to carbonaceous deposits on the catalyst. In addition, there was slow deactivation. For example, afto the experiment in Table 2 and cleaning in a flow ofN0/O2/H20 (0. l%/4.7%/1.5%, balance He) at SOOT, the catalyst showed an NO conversion of 33% and propene conversion of 42% at 450°C, versus 53 and 99%, respectively, before deactivation. For catalyst 1-5, only slow deactivation was observed. 

All of our clothes were sent to a cleaners and we hired a different restoration company to come and clean everything in the house while we stayed in a hotel. I told the supervisor of this company that only nontoxic, natural products could be used in my house. She assured me that would be no problem, and that in three days I would be able to move back home. But when I walked in to inspect the house I could actually taste the chemicals they d used and my mouth and lungs burned. Someone from our insurance company found a spray bottle they d left behind in our rec room closet. That s how we found out they had used strong solvents. Eventually they came back and tried everything to make the house safe. They scrubbed with TSP and they scrubbed with vinegar. They tried everything in the world, but nothing worked. This house that had been custom built for us was now a toxic waste dump.

As mentioned earlier, the 1972 Clean Water Act declared as its objective the restoration and maintenance of the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation s waters. To achieve this objective, the Act assumes that all discharges into the nation s waters are unlawful, except as authorized by a permit. Several sections of the Act require permits and licenses Sections 402, 404, 405, 403, and 401. Whereas some of these sections will be specifically addressed and explained in the following, the others will not. 

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 and as amended in 1976 (33 USC Sections 1251 to 1376) is commonly known as the Clean Water Act. The stated purpose is to restore and maintain the integrity of the nation s waters. The regulations put in place by this legislation set maximum allowable concentrations of toxicants in discharges and receiving waters. The results of toxicity testing are commonly used to determine these limits. In addition, NPDES permits now commonly require the use of toxicity tests performed on effluents from a variety of manufacturing sites to establish criteria for compliance.
