Chemical Safety and Waste Management Manual Chemical Safety and Waste Management Manual University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Occupational Health & Safety Chemical Safety Division 2002 EDITION 1. INTRODUCTION In a comparatively short time, the University of Alabama at Birmingham has gained significant recognition as a center of excellence for teaching, medical services and research programs. This is a highly commendable achievement and one that could not have been realized without the continued support and dedication of faculty, staff members, and employees. Similar unfailing cooperation and support are necessary for the institution to be equally successful in its development of a comprehensive occupational health and safety program for the protection of University personnel, students, and the surrounding community. An important part of this program is concerned with the safe and prudent handling of chemicals and their proper legal disposal as regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM). Almost every laboratory and many allied and support personnel at UAB use chemicals in their daily activities. It is the purpose of this manual to describe the operation of the Chemical Safety Program and to provide guidance in establishing safe work practices for the use of chemicals. This program applies to all work operations at this University where employees may be exposed to hazardous substances under normal working conditions or during an emergency. The Chemical Safety and Waste Management Manual combines both the Chemical Hygiene Plan for laboratories and the Hazard Communication Program for maintenance, environmental services, and other support personnel. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard may be found at : http://www.osha- slc.gov/OshStd_data/1910_1200.html. The policies and procedures outlined herein are considered the standard of care for chemical safety and environmental health and have been adopted as official University Policy. 3 2.

In order to get a better idea of the nature of adrenergic blocking activity, it might be best to under- stand first how an adrenergic compound functions. Certain compounds like epinephrine or adrenaline, are powerful agents in stimulating the sympathetic nervous system, that part of the nervous system springing from the thoracic lumbar cord. The substance epinephrine is much like, if not identical to, the substance called sympathin, which is produced at the ending of a nerve in the smooth muscle or gland when a nerve is stimulated.

  • Chromatographic Separation of Alkaline Earth Metals Using Alpha-Hydroxyisobutyric Acid
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF JOHN ARTHUR HAUSCHILD for the MASTER OF SCIENCE (Name) (Degree) in CHEMISTRY (ANALYTICAL) presented on (Major) Title: CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATION OF ALKALINE EARTH METALS USING ALPHA-HYDROXYISOBUYRIC ACID Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Max B. Williams A systematic study of the elution of magnesium and calcium from Dowex 50 X 8 resin using a-hydroxyisobutyric acid (a-HIBA) at various pH values and concentrations, indicated that the difference in the equilibrium distribution coefficients of these two elements was large enough for a good separation.This fact was applied to develop a chromatographic procedure for the separationof milligram quantities of magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium.After magnesium was eluted with 0. 22M a-HIBA at pH 4. 5, thethree remaining elements were eluted by varying the concentration and pH of a-HIBAduring the course of the elution (exponential gradient elution).After its respec- tive elution, each alkaline earth metal was directly determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy.Using this method, several success- ful analyses of synthetic samples (similar to the composition of sea water) were performed.Yield determinations of the alkaline earth metals from these analyses were consistently greater than 93%, with the overall average yield being 98%.

The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized using different techniques including X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Then, the efficiencies of this material to + remove calconcarboxylic acid (CCA) organic dye, ammonium ions (NH4 ), and phosphate ions 3 (PO4 −) from industrial wastewater were analyzed. The removal rates of up to 82%, 95%, and 85% 3 + were achieved for CCA dye, PO4 −, NH4 , respectively, by the synthesized composite. Interestingly, even after 5 cycles of reuse, the prepared nanocomposite remains efficient in the removal of pollutants. Therefore, the P. putida/Fe3O4/biochar composite was found to be an actual talented nanocomposite for industrial wastewater bioremediation.
