The substances elemental cobalt, cobalt chloride and cobalt sulfate (CAS RN 10124-43-3) were identified in the categorization of the Domestic Substances List as high priorities for action under the Challenge. Elemental cobalt and cobalt sulfate (CAS RN 10124-43-3) were considered to pose greatest potential for exposure of individuals in Canada whereas cobalt chloride was considered to pose intermediate potential for exposure. All of these substances are classified by other agencies on the basis of carcinogenicity. These substances all met the ecological categorization criteria for persistence; cobalt chloride and cobalt sulfate also met the categorization criteria for inherent toxicity to aquatic organisms. Therefore this assessment considers both human health and ecological risks. The substances were assessed together as they generate a common moiety of concern, Co2+, under physiological and environmental conditions, and are thus considered to be toxicologically equivalent.

Berlin, Germany 2International Laboratory of High Magnetic Fields and Low Temperatures, Gajowicka, Wrocław, Poland Abstract Investigations on metal halide systems carried out by Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry in the period 1990-2014 are reviewed in the present paper.163 original papers were published focused on metal halides showing still considerable activity in this area. The fundamentals of the Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry method and thermodynamic background of the investigation are briefly reported. Data to the system studied, temperature ranges, Knudsen cell materials, vapor species identified in the equilibrium vapors and the thermodynamic properties obtained in the study are presented. The important issues of metal halide vaporization studies are briefly discussed and commented. The studies of the vaporization of metal halogens by Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry aimed firstly atthe determination of gaseous complexes species in the vapor and determination of its thermodynamic data like sublimation enthalpy etc. and secondly at the determination of negative ions formation and various ion-molecule equilibria reactions of metal halide systems. Many of the studied materials have a crucial role for modern technologies, for example metal halide lamps, hot corrosion caused by halide salts, phosphorus recovery technologies or gas assisted separation of lanthanides. The investigation of such systems gives information on mechanisms of vaporization, volatility of the systems under various conditions (temperature, pressure etc.), reactivity, thermal stability, resistance etc.

The parameters of boron reduction in the chloride-fluoride melt have been obtained and the character of its joint deposition with europium has been studied. Keywords: molten salts, electrochemical synthesis, boron, europium 1. Introduction The intensive production of titanium, niobium, tantalum, thorium arouses the necessity of utilization of rare earth metals, accompanying them in mineral raw materials. Modern techniques has high claims to new materials – they should satisfy the set of physical, technological, exploitation characteristics. Europium boride is recognized in metallurgy, electronics, nuclear techniques, etc., due to its advanced elec- trophysical properties combined with a high melting point, excellent corrosion resistance. Electrochemical synthesis in molten salts is a promising method for the rare earth (RE) compounds production [1]. Besides comparative simplicity and relatively low costs, this method allows obtaining of products of high purity and desirable morphology (porousless thin layers or powders with controlled grain size) out of contaminated initial J.

Joffre (Master of Science, Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering) A Database of Produced Water Constituents with Ranking of Human Health Risk Thesis Directed by Professor Joseph N. Ryan Produced water is the largest waste stream of upstream oil and gas production in terms of volume. This study aims to address the implications of produced water reuse applications and inadvertent releases. We created a database of compounds identified in produced water from onshore oil and gas operations in North America and developed a prioritization scheme for those chemicals based on potential risk to human health. Through a comprehensive literature review, we found 179 studies that met our inclusion criteria. In total, there were 1,337 chemicals with a Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number and 41 general water quality parameters (e.g., total dissolved solids, alkalinity) in produced water reported by the studies. We used the database to create a list of unique chemicals that had data available through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s CompTox Dashboard and were in two or more individual samples at concentrations above the method detection limit.
