  • Mercury Lamp Drum-Top Crusher Study Document Number: EPA530-R-06-002
    MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Mercury Lamp Drum-Top Crusher Study Document Number: EPA530-R-06-002 FROM: Matt Hale, Director Office of Solid Waste TO: State and Regional RCRA Waste Management Directors Users and Potential Users of Drum-Top Crusher Devices Lamp Recyclers and Manufacturers As part of ongoing efforts to encourage safe management of mercury-containing equipment and fluorescent lamps, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is releasing a Mercury Lamp Drum-Top Crusher Study on the performance of mercury lamp drum-top crusher (DTC) devices. DTC devices fit on the top of a 55 gallon drum and crush fluorescent lamps into the drum below. DTC devices are designed to reduce the volume of waste lamps, while controlling the release of mercury vapors from crushed lamps. This volume reduction can facilitate storage and handling, decrease the possibility of subsequent breakage and release, and reduce shipping costs associated with fluorescent lamp recycling. We conducted the Mercury Lamp Drum-Top Crusher Study in order to gain more information about the performance of DTC devices. The objective of the study was to evaluate how well four DTC devices contained mercury releases from crushed lamps, focusing on worker exposure to airborne mercury. The study provides current information on the performance of DTC devices. The report presents our findings, which we believe will be helpful to states, users of fluorescent lamps, and lamp recyclers in making more informed management decisions when recycling fluorescent lamps.

  • Diving Air Compressor - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Diving Air Compressor from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    2/8/2014 Diving air compressor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Diving air compressor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A diving air compressor is a gas compressor that can provide breathing air directly to a surface-supplied diver, or fill diving cylinders with high-pressure air pure enough to be used as a breathing gas. A low pressure diving air compressor usually has a delivery pressure of up to 30 bar, which is regulated to suit the depth of the dive. A high pressure diving compressor has a delivery pressure which is usually over 150 bar, and is commonly between 200 and 300 bar. The pressure is limited by an overpressure valve which may be adjustable. A small stationary high pressure diving air compressor installation Contents 1 Machinery 2 Air purity 3 Pressure 4 Filling heat 5 The bank 6 Gas blending 7 References 8 External links A small scuba filling and blending station supplied by a compressor and Machinery storage bank Diving compressors are generally three- or four-stage-reciprocating air compressors that are lubricated with a high-grade mineral or synthetic compressor oil free of toxic additives (a few use ceramic-lined cylinders with O-rings, not piston rings, requiring no lubrication). Oil-lubricated compressors must only use lubricants specified by the compressor's manufacturer. Special filters are used to clean the air of any residual oil and water(see "Air purity"). Smaller compressors are often splash lubricated - the oil is splashed around in the crankcase by the impact of the crankshaft and connecting A low pressure breathing air rods - but larger compressors are likely to have a pressurized lubrication compressor used for surface supplied using an oil pump which supplies the oil to critical areas through pipes diving at the surface control point and passages in the castings.

The cold start phase is also depending upon the characteris- tics of vehicles. The amount of catalyst required to entrap the toxic pollutants throughout the cold-start period is usually much less than that needed in catalytic converters. Hopcalite (CuMnOx) catalyst could work very well at the low temper- ature, it can overcome the problem of cold-start emissions if used in a catalytic converter. article info abstract Article history: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas particularly to all leaving being present in the Received 19 March 2019 atmosphere.

  • FACT SHEET for TRACE LEVEL CO MONITORING Principle Of
    Version 3.0 10/13/2004 FACT SHEET FOR TRACE LEVEL CO MONITORING Principle of Operation The current recommendation for the measurement of Carbon Monoxide (CO) is the use of Non- dispersive Infrared (NDIR) with a gas filter correlation wheel. This procedure is identical to the current methodology used to measure CO, however, the trace level version must have a detector that is more sensitive, have tighter bench temperature control, be able to remove water and be able to adjust the baseline. Trace Level Modifications A number of modifications are made to the standard CO monitor to improve the detection limit for trace gas monitoring. Depending on the particular make, modifications should include the following: $ Required sample stream dried using permeation or Nafion Dryer; $ Analyzer baseline determined and corrected using heated palladium or hopcalite catalyst; $ Frequent auto-zero, at a minimum of once per hour, through the catalyst. Issues with the Method 1) Stable Detector It is important for the detector to be operated at a very stable temperature in order to measure in the ppb range. The detector and optical bench should be operated within +/- 1.0 degree Celsius to get a stable baseline. 2) Water interference Water is known to absorb in many wavelengths in the Infrared spectrum. Therefore, water must be removed from the sample stream before it is allowed to enter the optical bench. This is performed using Nafion or a permeation dryer. 3) CO2 interference Carbon Dioxide has been shown to be an interferent for CO. It is important that a narrow wavelength band be used to minimize these interferents.

  • The Choice of Precursors in the Synthesizing of Cumnox Catalysts for Maximizing CO Oxidation
    International Journal of Industrial Chemistry https://doi.org/10.1007/s40090-018-0150-7 RESEARCH The choice of precursors in the synthesizing of CuMnOx catalysts for maximizing CO oxidation Subhashish Dey1 · Ganesh Chandra Dhal1 · Devendra Mohan1 · Ram Prasad2 Received: 7 November 2017 / Accepted: 13 August 2018 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract The hopcalite (CuMnOx) catalyst is a well-known catalyst for CO oxidation at a low temperature and it is synthesized by the co-precipitation method with diferent types of precursors. Activity of the CuMnOx catalysts for CO oxidation is strongly dependent upon the combination of precursors, ranking in order {Mn(Ac)2 + Cu(NO3)2} > {Mn(Ac)2 + Cu(Ac)2} > {Mn(N O3)2 + Cu(NO3)2} > {Mn(NO3)2 + Cu(AC)2}. All the precursors were precipitated by ­KMnO4 solution and the precursors mostly comprised of ­MnO2, ­Mn2O3 and CuO phases. Keeping the same precipitant while changing the precursors caused a change in the lattice oxygen mobility which infuenced the CO oxidation activity. The calcination strategy of the precur- sors has great infuence on the activity of resulting catalysts. The reactive calcination (RC) conditions produce multifarious phenomena of CO oxidation and the precursor decomposition in a single-step process. The activity order of the catalysts for CO oxidation was as follows: reactive calcination (RC) > fowing air > stagnant air. Therefore, we recommended that the RC route was the more appropriate calcination route for the production of highly active CuMnOx catalysts. All the catalysts were characterized by X-ray difraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy technique.

  • Preparation-Properties Relation of Mn-Cu Hopcalite Catalyst
    American Journal of Applied Sciences 9 (2): 265-270, 2012 ISSN 1546-9239 © 2012 Science Publications Preparation-Properties Relation of Mn-Cu Hopcalite Catalyst Ardita Mele, Ilo Mele and Altin Mele Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Tirana, Albania Abstract: Problem statement: The Mn-Cu hopcalite catalyst was used for the conversion of CO to CO 2 at low temperatures. It was the catalyst of choice in the gas masks for respiratory protection in mines, aircrafts, military, spatial laboratories. Approach: The efficiency of hopcalite catalyst depends on its surface parameters. Its surface characteristics can be influenced from the chosen way of the MnO 2 and CuO precipitation and from the pressure of pelletizing. Results: The hopcalite samples has been prepared by precipitation of MnO 2 and by adding CuSO 4 further in the solution the adsorption of 2+ Cu ions on MnO 2 particles surface is achieved. After acidification of the solution up to pH = 3 the copper is precipitated in form of Cu (OH) 2CuCO 3 by adding NaHCO 3. Precipitate was washed, dried, pressed, crushed, sieved (1-2 mm) and calcined at 180°C for 3 h. MnO 2 and hopcalite samples were characterized by XRD. The activity was evaluated by determination of its protection time and it was 610 min, better than activity of a commercial catalyst. Specific surface area, pore volume and density were measured by nitrogen adsorption and mercury intrusion porosimetry. The X-Ray diffractograms shows that the only crystallinity of hopcalite comes from MnO 2, which is present mainly in amorphous form.
