Separatory operations may isolate the more hazardous components from tlie diluent or inert. Screening of solids, in effect, separates tlie more hazardous dusts (small particles and fines) from the less liazardous larger pieces of material. Centrifuges, like all liigh-speed equipment, must be securely positioned to provide protection to all persomiel working in the vicinity.

PCBs in soils and wastewaters can be rapidly screened on site or in the laboratory by immunoassay technique (Chapter 1.13). Immunoassay test kits are now commercially available from many suppliers. The samples can be tested at the calibration levels of 1 to 50 ppm. The kit primarily contains antibody-coated test tubes or magnetic particles, assay diluent, PCB-enzyme conjugate, a color-forming substance, and a solution to quench the reaction. The method does not distinguish accurately one Aroclor from another. PCBs can be measured semiquantitatively by comparing the optical density of the color formed in the sample against a set of calibration standards using a spectrophotometer. 

A granular formulation is basically the same as a dust formulation. It contains toxicant (1%—10%) and an inert diluent. The major difference is in the particle size, granules ranging from 20 to 100 mesh, whereas dusts pass through 300 mesh screens. 

Anthracene is used as an intermediate in dye production, in the manufacture of synthetic fibers, and as a diluent for wood preservatives. It is also used in smoke screens, as scintillation counter crystals, and in organic semiconductor research (Hawley 1987). Anthracene is used to synthesize the chemotherapeutic agent, Amsacrine (Wadler et al. 1986). Acenaphthene is used as a dye intermediate, in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and plastics, and as an insecticide and fungicide (HSDB 1994 Windholz 1983). 

For the second half of the run, fume, gas (SO liters/minute) was taken from exit line and added as diluent to lower the temperature at screen number two. 

Consider the screening problem of table 2.20. Here we want to know the effect of various diluents, disintegrants, lubricants etc. on the stability of the drug substance. We have not imposed any restraint whatsoever on the numbers of levels for each variable. We could of course test all possible combinations with the full factorial design, which consists of 384 experiments (4 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 2 x 2) Reference to the general additive screening model for different numbers of levels will show that the model contains 12 independent terms. Therefore the minimum number of experiments needed is also 12.

The flow properties of an adhesive are largely controlled by its inherent viscosity and by the alteration of its viscosity through the addition of diluents and fillers. How properties are important for screen-printing, automatic dispensing, and capillary flow, and can be tailored by the type of filler, amount of filler, and the particle-size distribution.
