The DOC and UVA determinations are used in the calculation of the Specific UV Absorbance (SUVA). For TOC and DOC analysis, the sample is acidified and the inorganic carbon (IC) is removed prior to analysis for organic carbon (OC) content using a TOC instrument system. The measurements of TOC and DOC are based on calibration with potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) standards. This method is not intended for use in the analysis of treated or untreated industrial wastewater discharges as those wastewater samples may damage or contaminate the instrument system(s). 1.2 The three (3) day, pooled organic carbon detection limit (OCDL) is based on the detection limit (DL) calculation.1 It is a statistical determination of precision, and may be below the level of quantitation.

  • Products Evolved During Hot Gas Welding of Fluoropolymers
    Health and Safety Executive Products evolved during hot gas welding of fluoropolymers Prepared by the Health and Safety Laboratory for the Health and Safety Executive 2007 RR539 Research Report Health and Safety Executive Products evolved during hot gas welding of fluoropolymers Chris Keen BSc CertOH Mike Troughton BSc PhD CPhys MInstP Derrick Wake BSc, Ian Pengelly BSc, Emma Scobbie BSc Health and Safety Laboratory Broad Lane Sheffield S3 7HQ This report details the findings of a research project which was performed as a collaboration between the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and The Welding Institute (TWI). The project aim was to identify and measure the amounts of products evolved during the hot gas welding of common fluoropolymers, to attempt to identify the causative agents of polymer fume fever. Carbonyl fluoride and/or hydrogen fluoride were detected from certain fluoropolymers when these materials were heated to their maximum welding temperatures. Significant amounts of ultrafine particles were detected from all of the fluoropolymers investigated when they were hot gas welded. The report concludes that fluoropolymers should be hot gas welded at the lowest possible temperature to reduce the potential for causing polymer fume fever in operators. If temperature control is not sufficient to prevent episodes of polymer fume fever, a good standard of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) should also be employed. This report and the work it describes were funded by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Its contents, including any opinions and/or conclusions expressed, are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect HSE policy.

  • Ultrapure Water
    Ultrapure Water General Filter Requirements Achieving and maintaining ultrapure water (UPW) is extremely important in light of its widespread presence throughout the manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuits. The technology of the industry has advanced so rapidly over the past few years that it has redefined cleanliness requirements, specifically with regard to the need for quantitatively removing colloidal silica, particles, total organic carbon (TOC), bacteria, pyrogens (bacterial fragments) and metal ions. A well-designed UPW system with strategically placed filters, will ensure achievement of this goal, since the type of filter selected in each of the key areas will make a measurable difference in ultimate quality. To meet the demands of a high-purity deionized (DI) water system, filters must: • Not contribute organic, particulate or metal ion contamination to the effluent stream • Not unload trapped contaminants or shed filter material • Be integrity testable to verify removal ratings • Perform identically from lot to lot • Have a low-pressure drop for long life and maximum economy. DI Water Filter A well-maintained UPW system will have a number of carefully selected filters and purifiers placed in strategic positions. A schematic of a DI water system is depicted below. The locations of the filters are representative of those found in a typical water system. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Pretreatment Microza* UNA System Pretreatment is required to operate RO units effectively and economically. The pretreatment will vary depending on the source of the incoming feed water. With surface water as the feed, conventional pretreatment may include such unit operations as coagulation, flocculation, settling, granular media filtration, and cartridge filtration.
