    UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-KANSAS CITY CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Revised May 2016 UMKC CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT PLAN This document constitutes the Chemical Management Plan (CMP) for the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC). It was developed by the Environmental Health and Safety Department (EHS), to ensure the safe and proper use of hazardous and non- hazardous chemicals and to comply with applicable governmental regulations addressing the disposal of these chemicals. In addition, it was developed to foster waste minimization, and to provide the faculty and the staff with a management program to reduce the potential for accidents involving hazardous chemicals and/or wastes. Elements of the CMP include: a. a procedure for identifying potential or actual hazardous chemicals or wastes b. a procedure for periodic reexamination of those hazardous chemicals or wastes identified by the procedure in (a.) above as well as a systematic method for identification and evaluation of any new potential or actual hazardous chemicals or wastes c. procedures for labeling, and inventorying hazardous chemicals or wastes d. a procedure for identification and training of personnel directly responsible for ensuring that (a.), (b.), and (c.) are implemented e. a procedure for monitoring, recording, and reporting compliance with the CMP f. a procedure by which information generated by the CMP is provided to the persons performing waste analyses Each element is addressed as part of the complete CMP in the following paragraphs. 4 Table of Contents 1 Definitions 7 2 Identification

Hammond. Norris Award lecture, 1968 SUMMARY Developing new technological solutions, such as use of lightweight materials, less harmful fuels, controlled fuel combustion processes or more efficient exhaust gas after-treatment, are possible ways to reduce the environmental impact of machines. Both the reduction of wear and the friction control are key issues for decreasing of energy losses, improving efficiency and increasing of the life-span of an engine. Dialkyldithiophosphates (DTPs) of different metals have been extensively used as multifunctional additives in lubricants to control friction and reduce wear in mechanical systems. Among these DTP-compounds, zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZnDTPs) are the most common additives used for more than 60 years. These additives form protective films on steel surfaces and, thus, control friction and reduce wear.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Pentyl valerate was synthesized biocatalytically using Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) immobilized in microemulsion based organogels ∘ (MBGs). The optimum conditions were found to be pH 7.0, temperature of 37 C, ratio of concentration of water to surfactant (Wo) of 60, and the surfactant sodium bis-2-(ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) for MBG preparation. Although kinetic studies revealed that the enzyme in free form had high affinity towards substrates ( = 23.2 mM for pentanol and 76.92 mM for valeric acid) whereas, after immobilization, the values increased considerably (74.07 mM for pentanol and 83.3 mM for valeric acid) resulting in a slower reaction rate, the maximum conversion was much higher in case of immobilized enzyme (∼99%) as compared to free enzyme (∼19%).

So far, Organic aerosols are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and can however, a database of gas phase diffusion coefficients for or- account for a dominant fraction of submicron aerosol par- ganic compounds of atmospheric interest has not been avail- ticles (Jimenez et al., 2009). Organic aerosols affect climate able. In this work we have compiled and evaluated gas phase by scattering and adsorbing solar and terrestrial radiation and diffusivities (pressure-independent diffusion coefficients) of serving as cloud condensation nuclei and ice nuclei (Kanaki- organic compounds reported by previous experimental stud- dou et al., 2005; Hallquist et al., 2009).
