  • Corrosion of Refractories by Denis A

    Corrosion of Refractories by Denis A

    A Chapter in the Refractories Handbook, edited by Charles A. Schacht, and to be published by Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, NY 10016 Corrosion of Refractories by Denis A. Brosnan, PhD, PE Clemson University Clemson, SC 29634-0971 Introduction Refractories are used at elevated temperatures for structural purposes and they are used in many cases to contain a high temperature corrosive environment. This corrosive environment usually contains liquid (melted) phases that participate in chemical reactions with the refractory at the elevated temperatures resulting in refractory consumption or wear. It is usually not immediately obvious, but the oxidation and reduction state of the environment (as “redox” conditions or oxygen “activity”) can participate in and influence the chemical reactions that take place. Along with chemical reactions during corrosion, physical changes occur that may be accelerated by the corrosion process. Corrosion of refractories can be defined for the purposes of this discussion as follows: Corrosion of Refractories – refractory wear by loss of thickness and mass from the exposed face of the refractory as a consequence of chemical attack by a corroding fluid in a process in which the refractory and the corroding fluid react approaching chemical equilibrium in the zone of contact between the refractory and the fluid. It is an essential point that corrosion reactions proceed in a direction toward localized chemical equilibrium. This means that phase equilibrium diagrams can be used to analyze corrosion situations and to predict chemical strategies to minimize corrosion and wear rates. This gives persons interested in refractory corrosion two options. The first is to view corrosion as a chemical and physical process without a detailed application of phase equilibrium diagrams – called the “phenomenological approach”.
  • Exposure Data

    Exposure Data

    BERYLLIUM AND BERYLLIUM eOMPOUNDS Beryllium and beryllium compounds were considered by previous Working Groups, In 1971,1979 and 1987 (lARe, 1972, 1980, 1987a). New data have since become available, and these are included in the present monograph and have been taken into consideration In the evaluation. The agents considered herein Include (a) metallic beryllium, (b) beryllium- aluminium and -copper alloys and (c) some beryllum compounds. 1. Exposure Data 1.1 Chemical and physical data and analysis 1.1.1 Synonyms, trade names and molecular formulae Synonyms, trade names and molecular formulae for beryllium, beryllum-aluminium and -copper alloys and certain beryllium compounds are presented in Thble 1. The list is not exhaustive, nor does it comprise necessarily the most commercially important beryllum- containing substances; rather, it indicates the range of beryllum compounds available. 1. 1.2 Chemical and physical properties of the pure substances Selected chemical and physical properties of beryllium, beryllum-aluminium and -copper alloys and the beryllium compounds covered in this monograph are presented in Thble 2. The French chemist Vauquelin discovered beryllium in 1798 as the oxide, while analysing emerald to prove an analogous composition (Newland, 1984). The metallc element was first isolated in independent experiments by Wöhler (1828) and Bussy (1828), who called it 'glucinium' owing to the sweet taste of its salts; that name is stil used in the French chemical literature. Wöhler's name 'beryllum' was offcially recognized by IUPAe in 1957 (WHO, 1990). The atomic weight and corn mon valence of beryllum were originally the subject of much controversy but were correctly predicted by Mendeleev to be 9 and + 2, respectively (Everest, 1973).

The traditional high-temperature synthesis methods have some disadvantages leading to inconstancy of the product composition due to the boron evaporation, degradation of the furnace materials and contamination of the products, high energy losses etc. Here we show the advantages of some untraditional synthesis methods like direct mechanical synthesis and self propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) in the production of titanium diboride (TiB2), zirconium diboride (ZrB2) and production of dense boron carbide (B4C) based materials. Using SEM, TEM, XRD and analytical chemical methods, it was shown that diborides of titanium and zirconium have appropriate properties for production of dense ceramic materials. Using the method of mechanically-assisted sintering high-dense B4C-based ceramic materials was obtained. It was shown that the mechanical properties of materials obtained by pressureless sintering are close or overcome the corresponding properties of boron carbide densified by the method of hot pressing.

Gangler " Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory Cleveland, Ohio NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS WASHINGTON March 2 , 1951 NACA RM E5OG21 NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS RESEARCH MEMORANDUM SOME PROPERTIES OF BERYLLIUM OXIDE AND BERYLLIUM OXIDE - COLUMBIUM CERAMALS By C. F. Robards and J. J . Gangler SUMMARY Because of the potentially excellent refractory properties of beryllium oxide, a brief investigation was made of its short­ time tensile strength at a temperature of 18000 F and relative thermal-shock resistance from temperatures of 18000 and 2000° F to room temperature. The effect of additions of 2, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 15 percent by weight of columbium metal on the thermal-shock resistance of beryllium oxide was studied. Metallographic examination indicated that the metallic phase coalesced into pockets. Beryllium oxide had a tensile strength as high as 6160 :9ounds per square inch at 18000 F. The original columbium underwent a phase change, as indicated by X-ray analysis of the ceramals. The addition of columbium up to 15 percent by weight failed to improve the resistance to thermal shock. The phase change and the failure of the columbium to 'vet the beryllium oxide may explain the poor thermal-shock resistance of these ceramals. INTRODUCTION Beryllium oxide BeO has the highest thermal-shock resistance of the better-known oxide bodies. In an effort to extend the life of this material in thermal shock, an attempt was made at the NACA Lewis laboratory to use a metallic binder in the manner that has been successful in the carbide-tool industry.

  • Toxicological Profile for Beryllium

    Toxicological Profile for Beryllium

    BERYLLIUM 19 3. HEALTH EFFECTS 3.1 INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of this chapter is to provide public health officials, physicians, toxicologists, and other interested individuals and groups with an overall perspective on the toxicology of beryllium. It contains descriptions and evaluations of toxicological studies and epidemiological investigations and provides conclusions, where possible, on the relevance of toxicity and toxicokinetic data to public health. A glossary and list of acronyms, abbreviations, and symbols can be found at the end of this profile. 3.2 DISCUSSION OF HEALTH EFFECTS BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE To help public health professionals and others address the needs of persons living or working near hazardous waste sites, the information in this section is organized first by route of exposure (inhalation, oral, and dermal) and then by health effect (death, systemic, immunological, neurological, reproductive, developmental, genotoxic, and carcinogenic effects). These data are discussed in terms of three exposure periods: acute (14 days or less), intermediate (15–364 days), and chronic (365 days or more). Levels of significant exposure for each route and duration are presented in tables and illustrated in figures. The points in the figures showing no-observed-adverse-effect levels (NOAELs) or lowest-observed-adverse-effect levels (LOAELs) reflect the actual doses (levels of exposure) used in the studies. LOAELS have been classified into "less serious" or "serious" effects. "Serious" effects are those that evoke failure in a biological system and can lead to morbidity or mortality (e.g., acute respiratory distress or death). "Less serious" effects are those that are not expected to cause significant dysfunction or death, or those whose significance to the organism is not entirely clear.

    "Beryllium Oxide Digestion Optimization at the Savannah River Site"

    "Beryllium Oxide Digestion Optimization at the Savannah River Site" by Davin Jagnandan November, 2002 ==' ¥----­ ; A paper submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Health in the School of Public Health Abstract Chronic beryllium disease (CBD) is a debilitating lung disorder affecting an estimated 4.6% of past nuclear weapons and beryllium manufacturing workers. The Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program, as set up by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), establishes guidelines for maintaining acceptable exposure levels in all beryllium manufacturing facilities. These exposure levels are based on the measuring of total beryllium which includes beryllium metal, beryllium salts, beryllium alloys and beryllium oxide. The most sensitive detection instruments used in industrial hygiene sampling measure beryllium in a solubilized form . Beryllium oxide, in particular, has been shown to resist solubilization unless it is performed in the presence of strong acid(s). This poses a problem for industrial hygienists because beryllium oxide has been shown to have a high level oftoxicity due to its small size and moderate solubility. The current Ip digestion method (EPA 3050B) for all metals at the Savannah River Site 1 involves the use of nitric and hydrochloric acids. It was hypothesized that 1 this method was inadequate for the complete digestion of beryllium oxide. This study examines this issue by comparing method 3050B with two other acid digestion methods. Once the most effective of the three methods was determined, optimization factors such as settling time, heating/reflux time, and hydrogen peroxide addition were examined.
