Used at Rocky Flats
. TASK 1 REPORT (Rl) IDENTIFICATION OF CHEMICALS AND RADIONUCLIDES USED AT ROCKY FLATS I PROJECT BACKGROUND ChemRisk is conducting a Rocky Flats Toxicologic Review and Dose Reconstruction study for The Colorado Department of Health. The two year study will be completed by the fall of 1992. The ChemRisk study is composed of twelve tasks that represent the first phase of an independent investigation of off-site health risks associated with the operation of the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant northwest of Denver. The first eight tasks address the collection of historic information on operations and releases and a detailed dose reconstruction analysis. Tasks 9 through 12 address the compilation of information and communication of the results of the study. Task 1 will involve the creation of an inventory of chemicals and radionuclides that have been present at Rocky Flats. Using this inventory, chemicals and radionuclides of concern will be selected under Task 2, based on such factors as the relative toxicity of the materials, quantities used, how the materials might have been released into the environment, and the likelihood for transport of the materials off-site. An historical activities profile of the plant will be constructed under Task 3. Tasks 4, 5, and 6 will address the identification of where in the facility activities took place, how much of the materials of concern were released to the environment, and where these materials went after the releases. Task 7 addresses historic land-use in the vicinity of the plant and the location of off-site populations potentially affected by releases from Rocky Flats. -

Downloaded by Cornell University Library 30/06/2017 07:42:59. WXXJ V. --€?ismu t h initrit es. By WALTERCRAVEN BALL and HAROLDHELLING ABRAM. IN previous communications (T., 1905, 87, 761; 1909, 95, 2126; 1910, 97, 1408) one of the authors of the present paper has described several compounds of bismuth nitrite with the alkaline nitrites. These compounds were chiefly remarkable aa affording a method for the gravimetric estimation of sodium, and for its separation from potmsium, owing to the insolubility of msium sodium bismuthinitrite and the non-formation of the corresponding potassium salt (T., 1910, 97, 1408). As it is unusual to find such sharp differences in the behaviour of sodium and potassium salts, the present authors have investigated all the salts of this series which they have been able to obtain, in order to discover, if possible, other facts bearing on this difference in behaviour. The salts which have been obtained all fall into two groups, of which View Article Online BALL AND ABKAM : BlSMUTElINITRlTES. 2111 the general formula are respectively X,Bi(NO,), and X,YBi(N02),. In these formulae X represents any of the metals ammonium, potassium, rubidium, msium, and thallium, whilst Y stands for either lithium, sodium, or silver. There are thus possible five compounds of the X,Bi(NO,), series, or simple bismuthinitrites, and of these, four have been obtained, the attempts to obtain the ammonium salt having been 60 far unsuccessful owing to the great instability of concentrated solutions of ammonium nitrite in the presence of acid. -

The thyroid gland is found in the neck, below the thyroid cartilage (which forms the laryngeal prominence, or "Adam's apple"). The isthmus (the bridge between the two lobes of the thyroid) is located inferior to the cricoid cartilage. The thyroid gland controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls how sensitive the body is to other hormones. It participates in these processes by producing thyroid hormones, the principal ones being triiodothyronine (T ) and thyroxine which can sometimes be referred to as tetraiodothyronine (T ). These hormones 3 4 regulate the rate of metabolism and affect the growth and rate of function of many other systems in the body. T and 3 T are synthesized from both iodine and tyrosine. -
Synthesis and Properties of Simple and Complex Salts Of
PhD Theses SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF SIMPLE AND COMPLEX SALTS OF PERMANGANIC ACID Kótai László Institute of Materials and Environmental Chemistry Chemical Research Center, Hungarian Academy of Sciences 2006 1 1. INTRODUCTION AND AIMS Widespread applicapibility and the increased quality requirements of permanganate salts require development of new synthetic methods. The transition metal permanganates are precursors of numerous catalytically active metal-manganese oxide composites. Therefore, the exact kowledge of their structure, reactivity and the thermal decomposition characteristics of permanganate compounds is essenial to plan the properties of the decomposition products. The main target of this work was the development of new synthetic methods to prepare simple and complex salts of permanganic acid, including the preparation and the study of ammonium permanganate and some ammine-complex permanganates of transition metals such as Ag, Cu, Ni, Cd, Zn. 2. ANALYTICAL METHODS Classical inorganic analytical chemistry, IR and Raman spectroscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy, ESR, XRD, GC-MS, single crystal X-ray and powder neutron diffractometry, TG-gas- titrimetry, TG-MS and DSC methods were used. 3. NEW RESULTS 3.1. SYNTHESES 3.1.1. Syntheses based on manganese heptoxide A method has been developed to prepare Ba, Mg, Ca, Ni, Zn, Cd, Cu(II), Al, Fe(III), Y, Ce(IV), Sm, Pr and Gd-permanganates by means of the reaction of KMnO4 with sulfuric acid monohydrate, followed by extraction of the Mn2O7 with CCl4 and the reaction of the Mn2O7 in CCl4 with catalytic amount of water and the oxide, hydroxide and carbonate of the appropriate metal. 3.1.2.

Prohibited and Restricted Chemical List
School Emergency Response Plan and Management Guide Prohibited and Restricted Chemical List PROHIBITED AND RESTRICTED CHEMICAL LIST Introduction After incidents of laboratory chemical contamination at several schools, DCPS, The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and DC Fire and Emergency Management Services developed an aggressive program for chemical control to eliminate student and staff exposure to potential hazardous chemicals. Based upon this program, all principals are required to conduct a complete yearly inventory of all chemicals located at each school building to identify for the removal and disposal of any prohibited/banned chemicals. Prohibited chemicals are those that pose an inherent, immediate, and potentially life- threatening risk, injury, or impairment due to toxicity or other chemical properties to students, staff, or other occupants of the school. These chemicals are prohibited from use and/or storage at the school, and the school is prohibited from purchasing or accepting donations of such chemicals. Restricted chemicals are chemicals that are restricted by use and/or quantities. If restricted chemicals are present at the school, each storage location must be addressed in the school's written emergency plan. Also, plan maps must clearly denote the storage locations of these chemicals. Restricted chemicals—demonstration use only are a subclass in the Restricted chemicals list that are limited to instructor demonstration. Students may not participate in handling or preparation of restricted chemicals as part of a demonstration. If Restricted chemicals—demonstration use only are present at the school, each storage location must be addressed in the school's written emergency plan.

Some Physical Properties of Ionic Melts in Relation to Their Structure
1. SOME PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF IONIC MELTS IN RELATION TO THEIR STRUCTURE By William Ewen Smith, B.Sc., A.R.C.S.T. A Thesis submitted to the University of London for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemical Technology, Imperial College of Science and Technology, London, S.W.7. October 12§.2. 2. Abstract. The unusual physical behaviour of the melt of potassium nitrate and calcium nitrate had previously been reported. In the present study, the liquid behaviour is defined quantitatively in terms of physical properties, some results are taken on related systems and a structural explanation postulated to explain the data. A brief review of fundamental liquid theory and theories of viscosity transport are given. A more detailed analysis of the experimental measurements in molten salts most relevant to a structural analysis and a study of previous work in the monodivalent nitrate melts leads to a simple structural model capable of a limited interpre- tation of experimental behaviour. Qualitative studies on the nature of the low temperature form of certain compositions of the mixed nitrate melts verifies previous kreports of glass forma- tion. A quantitative study in the liquid range of the viscosity of the binary mixtvres of sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesium nitrate with calcium nitrate estab- lished the essentially non-Arhenius nature of the viscosity plots. An investigation of the electrical conductivity and 3. U.V. spectra of the melts was then carried out. The con- clusions drawn indicated the possibility of anomalous dielectric effects in the supercooled melt. Techniques were developed for this study and results indicatiag some form of loss mechanism obtained. -

Chemical Resistance of Plastics
(c) Bürkle GmbH 2010 Important Important information The tables “Chemical resistance of plastics”, “Plastics and their properties” and “Viscosity of liquids" as well as the information about chemical resistance given in the particular product descriptions have been drawn up based on information provided by various raw material manufacturers. These values are based solely on laboratory tests with raw materials. Plastic components produced from these raw materials are frequently subject to influences that cannot be recognized in laboratory tests (temperature, pressure, material stress, effects of chemicals, construction features, etc.). For this reason the values given are only to be regarded as being guidelines. In critical cases it is essential that a test is carried out first. No legal claims can be derived from this information; nor do we accept any liability for it.
