Dichloromethane DICHLOROMETHANE Dichloromethane was reviewed previously by the Working Group in 1987 and 1998 (IARC, 1987, 1999).

  • Experimental and Analytical Study of Nitric Oxide Formation During Combustion of Propane in a Jet-Stirred Combustor

Wilson , TECH LIBRARY KAFB, NM 0134538 NASA Technical Paper 1181 Experimental and Analytical Study of Nitric Oxide Formation During Combustion of Propane in a Jet-Stirred Combustor N. T. Wakelyn, Casimir J. Jachimowski, and Charles H. Wilson Langley Research Center Hampton, Virginia National Aeronautics and Space Administration Scientific and Technical Information Otfice 1978 '8' SUMMARY A jet-stirred combustor, constructed of castable zirconia and with an inconel injector, has been used to study nitric oxide formation in propane-air combustion with residence times in the range from 3.2 to 3.3 msec and equiva­ lence ratios varying from 0.7 to 1.4. The residence time range was character­ istic of that found in the primary zones of aircraft turbines. Premixed propane-air formulations were subjected to intense and turbulent backmixed combustion within the cavity formed between the injector and the hemispherical inner walls of the zirconia shell. The volume of the combustor cavity was 12.7 cm3 and the mass loading was maintained in the range from 0.053 to 0.055 g/cm3-sec. Measurements were made of combustor operating tem­ perature and of nitric oxide concentration. Maximum nitric oxide concentrations of the order of 55 ppm were found in the range of equivalence ratio from 1.0 to 1.1. Nitric oxide concentrations were predicted over the range of equivalence ratio by a computer program which employs a perfectly stirred'reactor (PSR) algorithm with finite-rate kinetics.

  • AP-42 Vol. I CH1.6 Wood Residue Combustion in Boilers
    1.6 Wood Residue Combustion In Boilers 1.6.1 General1-6 The burning of wood residue in boilers is mostly confined to those industries where it is available as a byproduct. It is burned both to obtain heat energy and to alleviate possible solid residue disposal problems. In boilers, wood residue is normally burned in the form of hogged wood, bark, sawdust, shavings, chips, mill rejects, sanderdust, or wood trim. Heating values for this residue range from about 4,500 British thermal units/pound (Btu/lb) of fuel on a wet, as-fired basis, to about 8,000 Btu/lb for dry wood. The moisture content of as-fired wood is typically near 50 weight percent for the pulp, paper and lumber industries and is typically 10 to 15 percent for the furniture industry. However, moisture contents may vary from 5 to 75 weight percent depending on the residue type and storage operations. Generally, bark is the major type of residue burned in pulp mills; either a mixture of wood and bark residue or wood residue alone is burned most frequently in the lumber, furniture, and plywood industries. 1.6.2 Firing Practices5, 7, 8 Various boiler firing configurations are used for burning wood residue. One common type of boiler used in smaller operations is the Dutch oven. This unit is widely used because it can burn fuels with very high moisture content. Fuel is fed into the oven through an opening in the top of a refractory-lined furnace. The fuel accumulates in a cone-shaped pile on a flat or sloping grate.

  • Alternatives to High Propane Prices Interest Expense and the Cost of Utilities Are the Two Largest “Out of Pocket” Expenses Facing Most Broiler Growers
    ThePoultry Engineering, Economics & Management NEWSLETTER Critical Information for Improved Bird Performance Through Better House and Ventilation System Design, Operation and Management Auburn University, in cooperation with the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association Issue No 29, May 2004 Alternatives to High Propane Prices Interest expense and the cost of utilities are the two largest “out of pocket” expenses facing most broiler growers. There is little a grower can do to reduce interest costs, short of major mortgage refinancing. However, costs associated with utilities are another matter. The topics we have addressed in most past issues of this newsletter have all dealt with housing and ventilation factors which can result in improved flock performance and in reduced levels of energy being used, which directly reduces costs to the grower. Electricity rates are typically fixed and are highly regulated. However, the price of heating fuel, specifically propane (liquefied petroleum gas or LPG), has varied widely up and down in most recent years, depending on the time of year and numerous supply and demand conditions. Growers can choose What growers should be aware of is that there are ways to reduce the from several good risk that they will have to buy propane at one of those times when the alternatives to paying price is highest. This newsletter explains several alternative methods consistently high prices growers can use to get lower and more stable propane costs over time. for propane. Understanding the Basics of Propane Pricing The most fundamental factor in propane pricing is that propane is basically a fossil fuel, being derived from raw natural gas during the oil refining process.

Several techniques were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the catalysts. Results showed that residual sodium could be partially inserted into the Co3O4 spinel lattice, inducing distortions and helping to increase the specific surface area of the Co3O4 catalysts. Meanwhile, it could negatively affect the reducibility and the oxygen mobility of the catalysts.

This data may be available in the literature, but the time involved in searching for it may be considerable.

It is a component of steel, steel alloys, cast iron, superalloys & nonferrous alloys, as well as a chemical intermediate for high purity salts. Manganese is used as a purifying & scavenging agent in metal production. SOURCES Manganese is a naturally occurring substance found in many types of rock; it is ubiquitous in the environment and found in low levels in water air, soil, and food. It is commonly found in the environment as a result of its use in the manufacture of the above-noted materials. ENVIRONMENTAL LEVELS AND EXPOSURE Exposure to manganese might include: • Inhaling it in ambient air, particularly near industries involved in the manufacture of manganese-containing materials. Occupational exposure via inhalation is most common. Ambient air concentrations of manganese were not reported in 1997 or 1998 in Alberta. ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND BEHAVIOUR • Manganese, as an aerosol, may dissolve upon contact with water on a time scale of a few minutes. TOXICITY • Manganese is an element considered essential to human health. • Inhalation of manganese compounds in aerosols or fine dusts may cause "metal fume fever”.
