Mixtures of glycerin and litharge (lead oxide or PbO) are used as adhesives in the repair of tubs and sinks, pipe valves, glass, stoneware, and common gas conduits. A mixture of one part slightly diluted glycerin with two to three parts of lead oxide requires approximately one day to form a crystalline compound. The resulting cement resists weak acids and nitric acid, but reacts with sulfuric acid. These materials have also been used as ceramic seals in potting electronic equipment.

Sulphur dioxide. Sulphur dioxide is avail-able in the liquid form in heavy glass cylinders the gas is obtained by simply turning the metal valve. 

In figure 4 is shown how a separatory funnel and a pressure equalized addition funnel are made. The funnel part is just a PP funnel from the grocery store and what it is attached to is a stainless steel ball valve. See how the addition funnel is made by using a rubber stopper and an extra extension of tubing to the top of the funnel Well, that s how one can make a sealed addition funnel out of the ordinary glass separatory funnel that one gets with a distillation kit or from wherever. 

Aqueous hydrogen fluoride of greater than 60% maybe handled in steel up to 38°C, provided velocities are kept low (<0.3 m/s) and iron pickup in the process stream is acceptable. Otherwise, mbber or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) linings are used. For all appHcations, PTFE or PTEE-lined materials are suitable up to the maximum use temperature of 200°C. PTEE is also the material of choice for gasketing. AHoy 20 or Monel is typically used for valve and pump appHcations. Materials unacceptable for use in HE include cast iron, type 400 stainless steel, hardened steels, titanium, glass, and siHcate ceramics. 

Carbon disulfide is normally stored and handled in mild steel equipment. Tanks and pipes are usually made from steel. Valves are typically cast-steel bodies with chrome steel trim. Lead is sometimes used, particularly for pressure reUef disks. Copper and copper alloys are attacked by carbon disulfide and must be avoided. Carbon disulfide Hquid and vapor become very corrosive to iron and steel at temperatures above about 250°C. High chromium stainless steels, glass, and ceramics maybe suitable at elevated temperatures. 

Industrial equipment is a continuing area of development for plastics. Pipes, pumps, valves and sight glasses, made from such materials as PVC, PTFE and poly-4-methylpent-l-ene, have become well established on account of their corrosion resistance. The nylons are used for such diverse applications as mine conveyor belts and main drive gears for knitting machines and paper-making equipment. These and other materials are widely used where such features as toughness, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, non-stick properties, electrical insulation capability and transparency are of importance.
