Uccs Safe Operating Procedure 25 UCCS SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURE 25. SAFE STORAGE AND HANDLING OF FLAMMABLE AND COMBUSTIBLE CHEMICALS (For assistance, please contact Environmental Health & Safety) Flammable and combustible chemicals are materials that, under standard conditions, can generate sufficient vapors to cause a fire in the presence of an ignition source. Materials that generate sufficient vapors to ignite at temperatures below 100°F (38°C) are "flammables," whereas materials that require temperatures above 100°F to provide sufficient vapors for ignition are "combustibles." Typical flammable liquids, classes 1A, 1B, and 1C, are listed below. Depending on density, vapor trails can rise, sink, or traverse horizontally to reach an ignition source, which can result in a flashback fire. Fire can also result from reactions between flammables or combustibles and oxidizers. CABINETS Shall not be vented without prior approval by EH&S and Facilities Services. Are to be vented only with stainless steel piping with joints and seams sealed such that they will not leak under fire conditions. Shall have the vent caps screwed securely in place, unless appropriately vented. Shall contain no more than 60-gallons, or the rated capacity of the cabinet, whichever is less. USE Never use food containers, or containers that look like food containers, for flammable liquid storage or use. Eliminate ignition sources such as open flames, hot surfaces, operation of electrical equipment, and static electricity from areas in which flammable materials are used. Ensure that there is proper bonding and grounding when transferring between containers. Avoid the buildup of static electricity when transferring between plastic containers by avoiding the “free-fall” of liquids -- pour carefully in a steady stream down the sides of the container. Ensure that there is a functional fire extinguisher in the area where UCCS.SOP 25 Flammables Page 1 of 6 flammable liquids are used or dispensed. The fire extinguisher should be rated at least "3B". Never heat flammable substances with an open flame. Preferred heat sources include hot air, oil, salt, sand, steam, water, or wax baths; and heating mantles. Keep containers tightly closed at all times when not in use. Transfers should be carried out only in fume hoods or in other areas where ventilation is sufficient to avoid a buildup of flammable vapor concentrations. Always provide secondary containment to prevent accidental spillage and ignition. Spent or used flammable and combustible liquids should be kept in containers essentially the same as the original When a hazardous waste is added to a container, it must be labeled as hazardous waste at the time the first drop of hazardous waste is added to the container and the label must be dated. Hazardous Waste labels will be used on all waste containers. The container must clearly be labeled with the fully written chemical name and generator’s name. If the collection container contents contain a mixture, all components must be listed by percent or volume on the hazardous waste label. STORAGE A maximum of one gallon of flammable liquid per room can be in “normal storage” (shelves or countertops) in “common containers” (glass, plastic, metal). Quantities greater than one gallon located outside of a flammable liquid storage cabinet must be contained in a self-closing flammable container (“safety can”). Quantities 10 gallons and over will be stored in flammable liquid storage cabinets that meet the design specifications of NFPA 30. Secondary containment – sufficient to hold the entire contents of the storage container and impervious to the material – must be used whenever a glass or plastic container is used for flammables. It is highly recommended in all cases. Flammable and combustible liquids in glass containers shall not exceed 1 liter. When chemical purity must be protected, up to 4 liter quantities are permissible, and EH&S must be notified. UCCS.SOP 25 Flammables Page 2 of 6 Flammables that do not meet the above requirements, and flammables used outside the laboratory setting, must be stored in approved safety cans or the original container. Segregate flammables from oxidizing acids and oxidizers. Replace caps on containers immediately following dispensing. Flammable and Combustibles should be placed under a hood, or other well ventilated area, as soon as practical considering the required process. DO NOT EVAPORATE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS (EVEN IN A FUME HOOD) AS A MEANS OF DISPOSAL. This is an illegal act – a violation of numerous regulations. Eliminate ignition sources such as open flames, hot surfaces, electrical equipment not certified for use with flammables, and static electricity from areas in which flammable or combustible materials are stored. Post conspicuous "No Smoking" signs in the vicinity of flammable storage & operations. Even though campus buildings are smoke-free facilities this serves as a valuable reminder to employees, students, and visitors. Flammable liquids requiring cooling must be stored in refrigerators or freezers that meet the design specifications of NFPA 45 9-2.2. The manufacturer prominently labels such devices to indicate that the unit is suitable for such use. Ensure that there is proper bonding and grounding when transferring between containers for dispensing a flammable liquid from a large container or drum.

Mention of trade names of commercial products does not constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. ii ABSTRACT SPARC (SPARC Performs Automated Reasoning in Chemistry) chemical reactivity models were extended to calculate hydrolysis rate constants for carboxylic acid ester and phosphate ester compounds in aqueous non- aqueous and systems strictly from molecular structure. The energy differences between the initial state and the transition state for a molecule of interest are factored into internal and external mechanistic perturbation components. The internal perturbations quantify the interactions of the appended perturber (P) with the reaction center (C). These internal perturbations are factored into SPARC’s mechanistic components of electrostatic and resonance effects. External perturbations quantify the solute-solvent interactions (solvation energy) and are factored into H-bonding, field stabilization and steric effects. These models have been tested using 1471 reliable measured base, acid and general base-catalyzed carboxylic acid ester hydrolysis rate constants in water and in mixed solvent systems at different temperatures.

  • Efficacy of a Food-Grade Mixture of Volatile Compounds to Reduce
    EFFICACY OF A FOOD-GRADE MIXTURE OF VOLATILE COMPOUNDS TO REDUCE SALMONELLA LEVELS ON FOOD CONTACT SURFACES by LAURIE LEVEILLE (Under the Direction of Mark Harrison) ABSTRACT A novel antimicrobial solution called Flavorzon was evaluated for its ability to reduce Salmonella contamination levels on food contact surfaces. The food contact surfaces evaluated include stainless steel, HDPE cutting board, PVC conveyor belt, and HDPE tote plastic, which were inoculated by spot inoculation or by growing attached cells on the coupons for 48 h. The effectiveness of Flavorzon was evaluated by comparing it to other common sanitizers including chlorine, peracetic acid, and quaternary ammonium compounds. There was no difference in the effectiveness of Flavorzon compared to the other common sanitizers. All sanitizers were more effective on spot inoculated cells than on attached cells. The food contact surface tested also affected the ability of sanitizers to reduce Salmonella. Flavorzon shows potential to be used as a natural alternative to other common sanitizers.

This information is needed to reduce the uncertainties of ozone reactivity scales for stationary source emissions. The compounds studied were cyclohexane, cyclohexane, isopropyl alcohol, the three octanol isomers, diethyl ether, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, methyl isobutyl ketone, ethyl acetate, methyl isobutyrate, n-butyl acetate, and propylene glycol methyl ether acetate. "Incremental reactivity" experiments were carried out to determine the effect of each compound on 0 3 formation, NO oxidation and integrated OH radical levels when added to irradiations of reactive organic gas (ROG) - NOx mixtures representing simplified polluted urban atmospheres. Differing ROG surrogates and ROGINOx ratios were employed to test how the impacts of the compounds vary with chemical conditions. In addition, single compound - NOx irradiations were carried out for the various ketones, OH radical rate constants were measured for the octanol isomers and propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, and the yields of the C8 carbonyl products were determined for each of the octanol.isorners.

Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Office of Premarket Approval EAFUS: A Food Additive Database This is an informational database maintained by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) under an ongoing program known as the Priority-based Assessment of Food Additives (PAFA). It contains administrative, chemical and toxicological information on over 2000 substances directly added to food, including substances regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as direct, "secondary" direct, and color additives, and Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) and prior-sanctioned substances. In addition, the database contains only administrative and chemical information on less than 1000 such substances. The more than 3000 total substances together comprise an inventory often referred to as "Everything" Added to Food in the United States (EAFUS). This list of substances contains ingredients added directly to food that FDA has either approved as food additives or listed or affirmed as GRAS. Nevertheless, it contains only a partial list of all food ingredients that may in fact be lawfully added to food, because under federal law some ingredients may be added to food under a GRAS determination made independently from the FDA. The list contains many, but not all, of the substances subject to independent GRAS determinations. The list below is an alphabetical inventory representing only five of 196 fields in FDA/CFSAN's PAFA database. To obtain the entire database, including abstractions of over 7,000 toxicology studies performed on substances added to food as well as a search engine to locate desired information, order Food Additives: Toxicology, Regulation, and Properties, available in CD-ROM format from CRC Press.
