Safe fiber

The best sensor option is an intrinsically safe fiber-optic photonic sensor system, either infrared or visible spectrum. 

Wool has been regarded as a relatively safe fiber from the flammability point of view. However, it could be flame retarded to a higher degree if required. Hendrix et al. (26) suggested a large improvement in fire resistance of wool by treatment with 15% H PO. Beck et al. (27) showed that weak acidic materials, such as boric acid and dihydrogen phosphate, are effective additives for flame retarding wool by the condensed-phase mechanism (increased char residue). 

In vivo analytical devices ideally should be capable of monitoring several different physiological parameters simultaneously without interfering with an ongoing medical procedure, such as surgery. The devices should be biocompatible, simple to implement and operate, and highly reliable and safe. Fiber-optic chemical sensors can meet most of these requirements since the optical fibers are small (few hundred micrometers in diameter), flexible, nontoxic, and chemically inert. Optical fibers have already proven to be valuable for in vivo clinical applications such as endoscopic procedures and laser power transmission for surgical applications. 

It is one thing to grow safe fibers, but quite another to know whether or not they are useful for anything other than occupying space safely. The language of materials science is foreign to most chemists of the type found in an industrial chemicals laboratory. Their work is devoted to food products, detergents, fertilizers. 

Although this first route was simple in concept, it proved slow in operation, difficult to scale up safely, and relatively uneconomical compared with the other routes. Denitration of the fibers, necessary to allow safe use wherever the fabrics may risk ignition, spoiled their strength and appearance. Nevertheless, Chardoimet earned and truly deserved his reputation as the Eather of Rayon. His process was operated commercially until 1949 when the last factory, bought from the Tubize Co. in the United States in 1934 by a Bra2iUan company, burned down. 

Fiber dimensions have been studied for hemodialysis. When blood is circulated through the fiber lumen (m vivo), a significant reduction in apparent blood viscosity may occur if the flow-path diameter is below 100 p.m (11). Therefore, current dialy2ers use fibers with internal diameters of 180—250 p.m to obtain the maximum surface area within a safe range (see Dialysis). The relationship between the fiber cross section and the blood cells is shown in Figure 5. In many industrial appUcations, where the bore fluid is dialy2ed under elevated pressure (>200 kPa or 2 atm), fibers may burst at points of imperfection. Failure of this nature is especially likely for asymmetric fibers that display a large number of macro voids within the walls. 

A composite dmm is constmcted of a plastic, semirigid inner liner (usually polyethylene) and either a steel or fiber outer container or overpack. The composite dmm may be a useful compromise between a plastic dmm and a conventional steel dmm. It is strong enough to be handled like a steel dmm, yet provides an enclosure for chemicals that cannot be shipped safely in steel or fiber dmms. Capacities of composite dmms are 19—208 L (5—55 gal). Such dmms are used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. 

A robot often can be economically justified when the task of doing a certain packaging operation is an yzed in detail. For example, the palletizing of the fiber drums can be accomplished by human labor but work aids would be necessaiy in order to have acceptable production rates, reasonable operator fatigue, and a safe working environment. When the work aids are considered and their cost determined, the additional cost for providing robot capability is often of a small magnitude, which justifies its use to replace human labor. 

Fire or explosion hazards require special motor enclosures. Hazards include combustible gases and vapors such as gasoline dust such as coal, flour, or metals that can explode when suspended in air and fibers such as textile lint. The land of motor enclosure used depends on the type of hazard, the type and size of motor, and the probability of a hazardous condition occurring. Some available enclosures are explosionproof motors, which can withstand an internal explosion force-ventilated motors cooled with air from a safe location and totallv enclosed motors cooled bv air-to-water heat exchangers and pressurized with safe air, instrument air, or inert gas,...

GTP is a safe operation. A runaway polymerization can be quickly quenched with a protonic solvent. Since the group transfer polymerization goes to completion, no unwanted toxic monomer remains the silicone group on the living end after hydroxylation is removed as inactive siloxane. The living polymer in GTP is costlier than traditional polymerization techniques because of the stringent reaction conditions and requirements for pure and dry monomers and solvents. It can be used in fabrication of silicon chips, coating of optical fibers, etc. 

Optical fiber cables and fiber optic devices approved as an intrinsically safe system suitable for the hazardous (classified) location involved shall be installed in accordance with Sections 504-20 and 770-52. 

SRB contains high-quality protein, oil, dietary fiber, polysaccharides, fat-soluble phytochemicals (plant derived bioactive compounds) and other bran nutrients. Rice bran and germ are the richest natural sources of B complex vitamins as well as E vitamins, polyphenols, several antioxidants and minerals. It is now available in the commercial food ingredient market as a safe and effective functional food and dietary supplement. 

Recently it has been suggested that there are two more chemotypes. The first (chemotype 4) has a high content of CBGA (Bo allele) and the second is a strain totally lacking cannabinoids [47]. These strains are of interest because they can serve as good and safe strains for the production of fiber. 

The last option allows the employer to select equipment which is safe for the hazardous location. While the equipment does not have to be approved, the employer must be able to demonstrate that the design will provide the protection necessary to prevent the ignition of the vapors, liquids, gases, dusts or fibers in the hazardous location.
