Toxicity applications

Pumps for Corrosive or Toxic Applications. For some appHcations, pumpage is not only severely corrosive but also toxic, so that the pumpage must be contained with 2ero leakage (see Waste tee atment, hazardous wastes). One possibiHty is to employ a magnetically driven pump having a nonmetaUic, usually Teflon, liner at the Hquid end.

Open bonnet valves are not recommended for liquid or toxic applications. 

The schedule of chemicals (refer to Chapter 2 for the list) is found in the Annex on Chemicals of the CWC. The schedule of chemicals categorizes the CWC-regulated chemicals into three schedules (1, 2, and 3) according to the chemical properties, toxicity, application, and level of regulation by the CWC. The number of analytical data that is in the version of the OCAD released in October 2002 is presented in Table 1.

Titanium dioxide (Ti02) is an n-type SC with a wide Eg of 3.0-3.5eV, it is well-known for its potential applications in the field of photocatalysis and photoelectrochemistry because of its excellent optical transmittance and high refractive index (2.5-3.87) (Table 1) [11]. Ti02 is of outstanding importance as a white pigment because of its scattering properties, chemical stability, biological inertness, and lack of toxicity. Applications are found in paints, papers, fibers, cosmetics, sunscreen products, toothpaste etc. 

The most important feature of the NBP test is that it provides a rationalistic criterium for evaluating fish toxicity data for certain classes of organic micropollutants that have an enhanced toxicity compared to those compounds whose mode of toxic action is based on a narcosis mechanism (minimal toxicity). Applicability of the NBP test is restricted to those classes of compounds that are directly reactive in nucleophilic displacement reactions (SN reactions) like, e.g., alkylhalides, epoxides, -lactones, etc. The NBP test is not applicable to those compounds that are bioactivated in vivo to reactive intermediates. Lipnick (1985) has used, referring to this phenomena, the term pro-electrophiles. For those kinds of compounds, descriptors representing the degree of bioactivation, should be incorporated. The NBP test is, of course, not suitable for compounds that act as electrophiles by other reaction mechanisms like, e.g., the Schiff s base formation of aldehydes. 

The choice of tracer gas for the measurements is Kr-85 It has a long half-life so that it can be stored for application when needed. It is a noble gas which is chemically inactive giving a low radio toxicity as it is readily removed in case of accidental contamination. 

Both chloramine-T and dichloramine-T have marked antiseptic properties, chloramine-T being most frequently used because of its solubility in water. Aqueous solutions of chloramine-T can be used either for external application, or for internal application to the mouth, throat, etc, as chloramine-T in moderate quantities is non-toxic its aqueous solution can also be effectively used when the skin has come in contact with many of the vesicant liquid poison-gases, as the latter are frequently organic sulphur or arsenic derivatives which combine with or are oxidised by chloramine-T and are thus rendered harmless. 

Applications. For use as a gaseous dielectric, other specific properties are needed in addition to high breakdown strength, and a compromise must be made between electrical and mechanical requirements. Desirable properties include low toxicity, thermal stabiUty toward materials of constmction. 

Uses. The chemical inertness, thermal stability, low toxicity, and nonflammability of PFCs coupled with their unusual physical properties suggest many useflil applications. However, the high cost of raw materials and manufacture has limited commercial production to a few, small-volume products. Carbon tetrafluoride and hexafluoroethane are used for plasma, ion-beam, or sputter etching of semiconductor devices (17) (see loN implantation). Hexafluoroethane and octafluoropropane have some applications as dielectric gases, and perfluorocyclobutane is used in minor amounts as a dielectric fluid. Perfluoro-1,3-dimethyl cyclohexane is used as an inert, immersion coolant for electronic equipment, and perfluoro-2-methyldecatin is used for... 

Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications. On account of its low toxicity and unique properties, poly(ethylene oxide) is utilized in a variety of pharmaceutical and biomedical appHcations. 

Natural product-derived dispersants, such as tannins, lignins, and alginates, are still widely used as drilling mud thinners or in specialty applications where their low toxicity is a cmcial property, eg, in boilers producing steam for food applications.

Memanol water is an alcohol-base compound. It is less expensive than other organic compounds and, due to lower viscosity, has better heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics. It is used up to—35°C, Disadvantages are (I) considered more toxic than ethylene glycol and thus more suitable for outdoor applications (2) flammable and could be assumed to be a potential fire nazard.
