    WOOD MODIFIED BY INORGANIC SALTS: MECHANISM AND PROPERTIES. I. WEATHERING RATE, WATER REPELLENCY, AND IIIMENSIONAL STABILITY OF WOOD MODIFIEID WITH CHROMIUM (111) NITRATE VERSUS CHROMIC ACID' R. S. Willianzs and W. C. Feisl Research Chemists Forest Products Lab~ratory,~Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture Madison, WI 53705 (Received October 1983) ABSTRACT Chromic acid treatment of wood improves surface characteristics. A simple dip or brush application of 5% aqueous chromic acid to a wood surface stops extractive staining, improves dimensional stability, retards weathering of unfinished wood, and prolongs the life of finishes. A better understanding of how chromic acid effects these improvements may facilitate the development of even better treatments. The improvements may be due to a combination offactors: oxidation ofwood by hexavalent chromium compounds, formation of coordination coml~lexeswith trivalent chromium, and the presence of insoluble chromium compounds at the surface. Most trivalent chromium compounds do not become fixed in wood (i.e., do not form water-insolublf: wood-chemical complexes). However, chromium (111) nitrate treatment of western redcedar (Thuja plicata), southern pine (Pinus sp.), and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) produced modified wood with properties similar to chromic acid-treated wood. Evaluation of the chromium (111) nitrate- and chromic acid-modified wood by leaching, Xenon arc- accelerated weathering, and swellometer experiments clearly demonstrated similar fixation, erosion, and water-repellent properties. Based on the results from chromium (111) nitrate-treated wood, fixation through coordination of trivalent chromium with wood hydroxyls an(5 formation of insoluble chromium appear to be the critical factors in improving the performance of the treated wood.

  • Chromium Compounds Hazard Summary
    Chromium Compounds Hazard Summary Chromium occurs in the environment primarily in two valence states, trivalent chromium (Cr III) and hexavalent chromium (Cr VI). Exposure may occur from natural or industrial sources of chromium. Chromium III is much less toxic than chromium (VI). The respiratory tract is also the major target organ for chromium (III) toxicity, similar to chromium (VI). Chromium (III) is an essential element in humans. The body can detoxify some amount of chromium (VI) to chromium (III). The respiratory tract is the major target organ for chromium (VI) toxicity, for acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) inhalation exposures. Shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing were reported from a case of acute exposure to chromium (VI), while perforations and ulcerations of the septum, bronchitis, decreased pulmonary function, pneumonia, and other respiratory effects have been noted from chronic exposure. Human studies have clearly established that inhaled chromium (VI) is a human carcinogen, resulting in an increased risk of lung cancer. Animal studies have shown chromium (VI) to cause lung tumors via inhalation exposure. Please Note: The main sources of information for this fact sheet are EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) (7), which contains information on inhalation chronic toxicity and the RfC and oral chronic toxicity and the RfD, and the carcinogenic effects of chromium including the unit cancer risk for inhalation exposure, EPA's Toxicological Review of Trivalent Chromium and Toxicological Review of Hexavalent Chromium (3), and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's (ATSDR's) Toxicological Profile for Chromium. (1) Uses The metal chromium is used mainly for making steel and other alloys.

  • Health Hazard Evaluation Report 77-63-449
    \ U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HE1\LTH, EDUCATI0f1, AND WELFARE CENTER FOR DISEASE COllTROL I NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR OCCUPATIOfU\L SAFETY AND HEALTH i CINCINNATI, OHIO 45226 HEALTH HAZARD EVALUATIOf~ DETERMINATION l REPORT NO. 77-63-449 McDONNELL AIRCRAFT COMPANY ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI DECEMBER 1977 I. TOXICITY DETERMINATION A health hazard evaluation was conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health on July 11-14, 1977, at the McDonnell Aircraft Company in St. Louis, Missouri. Based on the medical evaluation of employees in Department 151 and the industrial hygiene survey, it is determined that employees were not exposed to toxic concentrations of contaminants during this evaluatton. Potential contaminants studied included: iron oxide, nickel, chromium, sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide, toluene, xylene, benzene, refined petroleum solvents, tetrachloroethylene, acetone, and styrene. It is our opinion that workers in the masking operations may occasionally be exposed to concentrations of organic solvents, and workers involved in the etching operations may occasionally be exposed to concentrations of acids and/or associated emissions such as nitric acid, nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide which have produced medical symptoms among the employees. These substances are known to produce nose, throat and skin irritation, dizziness and headaches - symptoms which were reported by workers in private interviews during the survey and are important indications of excessive exposure. From this limited evaluation, the authors feel that no definitive statement can be made concerning the workers in Department 151 having an increased incidence of deaths which could be directly attributed to occupational exposure.

The experimental reaction conditions were chosen to operate under intrinsic kinetic conditions, free from heat and mass transfer limitations. The data could be described adequately by a Langmuir–Hinshelwood rate-equation based on a series of sequential hydrogen additions according to the Horiuti–Polanyi mechanism. The mechanism involves a single active site on which both the conversion of acetylene and ethylene take place. Keywords: power-law; Langmuir–Hinshelwood; kinetic modeling; Pd/α-Al2O3 1. Introduction Ethylene is the largest of the basic chemical building blocks with a global market estimated at more than 140 million tons per year with an increasing growth rate. It is used mainly as precursor for polymers production, for instance polyethylene, vinyl chloride, ethylbenzene, or even ethylene oxide synthesis.

The spectrum is consistent with an effective C6v structure with an H ⋯π distance of 2.4921(1) Å. The HCCH subunit likely tilts by ~5º from the benzene symmetry axis. The dipole moment was determined to be 0.438(11) D from Stark effect measurements. The observed intermolecular distance is longer than in similar benzene ⋯HX complexes and than the distances observed in the benzene ⋯HCCH cocrystal and predicted by many high level ab initio calculations; however, the experimentally estimated –1 binding energy of 7.1(7) kJ mol is similar to previously studied benzene ⋯HX complexes.
