Tolerance, chemical

Of these surfactants, two classes are worthy of further note. The alpha-olefin sulfonates have been found to possess good salt tolerance, chemical stability at elevated temperatures, and appear to exhibit good oil solubilization and low interfacial tension over a wide range of temperatures (438,465). While being less salt tolerant, alkylaromatic sulfonates exhibit excellent chemical...

AWS) has issued specifications covering the various filler-metal systems and processes (2), eg, AWS A5.28 which appHes to low alloy steel filler metals for gas-shielded arc welding. A typical specification covers classification of relevant filler metals, chemical composition, mechanical properties, testing procedures, and matters related to manufacture, eg, packaging, identification, and dimensional tolerances. New specifications are issued occasionally, in addition to ca 30 estabUshed specifications. Filler-metal specifications are also issued by the ASME and the Department of Defense (DOD). These specifications are usually similar to the AWS specification, but should be specifically consulted where they apply. 

Toxicity. Sodium fluoroacetate is one of the most effective all-purpose rodenticides known (18). It is highly toxic to all species of rats tested and can be used either in water solution or in bait preparations. Its absence of objectionable taste and odor and its delayed effects lead to its excellent acceptance by rodents. It is nonvolatile, chemically stable, and not toxic or irritating to the unbroken skin of workers. Rats do not appear to develop any significant tolerance to this compound from nonlethal doses. However, it is extremely dangerous to humans, to common household pets, and to farm animals, and should only be used by experienced personnel. The rodent carcasses should be collected and destroyed since they remain poisonous for a long period of time to any animal that eats them. 

Protective-Atmosphere Furnaces. These furnaces are used where the work caimot tolerate oxidation or where the atmosphere must provide a chemical or metallurgical reaction with the work. In some cases, mainly in high temperature appHcations, the atmosphere is required to protect the electric heating element from oxidation. 

Highly pure / -hexane can be produced by adsorption on molecular sieves (qv) (see Adsorption, liquid separation) (43). The pores admit normal paraffins but exclude isoparaffins, cycloparaffins, and aromatics. The normal paraffins are recovered by changing the temperature and/or pressure of the system or by elution with a Hquid that can be easily separated from / -hexane by distillation. Other than ben2ene, commercial hexanes also may contain small concentrations of olefins (qv) and compounds of sulfur, oxygen, and chlorine. These compounds caimot be tolerated in some chemical and solvent appHcations. In such cases, the commercial hexanes must be purified by hydrogenation. 

A wide range and a number of purification steps are required to make available hydrogen/synthesis gas having the desired purity that depends on use. Technology is available in many forms and combinations for specific hydrogen purification requirements. Methods include physical and chemical treatments (solvent scmbbing) low temperature (cryogenic) systems adsorption on soHds, such as active carbon, metal oxides, and molecular sieves, and various membrane systems. Composition of the raw gas and the amount of impurities that can be tolerated in the product determine the selection of the most suitable process. 

T. Cairns and J. Sherma, eds.. Comprehensive Analytical Profiles of Important Pesticides, CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla., 1992, 304 pp. From the series ModemMethods for Pesticide Analysis, provides detailed information on properties and analytical methodology for nine prominent pesticides, pyrethroids, and fumigants in food. Includes formulations and uses, chemical and physical properties, toxicity data, and tolerances on various foods and feeds. Analytical information may be given in enough detail for methods to be carried out without having to consult additional Hterature sources.
