5. POTENTIAL for HUMAN EXPOSURE 5.1 OVERVIEW White
WHITE PHOSPHORUS 157 5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE 5.1 OVERVIEW White phosphorus can enter the environment from its production, use, accidental spills during loading and unloading for shipment, and accidental spills during transport. Hazardous wastes sites containing white phosphorus can also be a source of phosphorus in the environment. White phosphorus has been found in at least 77 of the 1,430 current or former EPA National Priorities List (NPL) hazardous waste sites (HazDat 1996). However, the number of sites evaluated for white phosphorus is not known. The frequency of these sites within the United States can be seen in Figure 5-l. The persistence of elemental phosphorus in the air is very short due to oxidation to phosphorus oxides and ultimately to phosphorus acids. However, the particulate phosphorus aerosol may be coated with a protective oxide layer that may prevent further oxidation and extend the lifetime of particulate phosphorus in air. Both wet and dry deposition remove unreacted elemental phosphorus and the degradation products from the air. Similarly, elemental phosphorus oxidizes and hydrolyzes in water and in soil. A small amount of elemental phosphorus is lost from soil and water by volatilization. Phosphorus is used as a fumigant in the storage of grain. Because of ease of application, pellets of aluminum or magnesium phosphide are commonly used (Garry et al. 1993). Phosphine, a highly toxic gas, is generated from phosphide. The rate of formation of phosphine (permissible exposure limit [PEL], 0.4 mg/m3) is dependent on the ambient temperature and humidity. Its release is rapid, and it is extremely fatal to the unprotected person (Garry et al. -
Rational Synthesis of P-Type Zinc Oxide Nanowire Arrays Using Simple Chemical Vapor Deposition

Single-crystal phosphorus doped ZnO NWs have their growth axis along the 〈001〉 direction and form perfect vertical arrays on a-sapphire. P-type doping was confirmed by photoluminescence measurements at various temperatures and by studying the electrical transport in single NWs field-effect transistors. Comparisons of the low-temperature PL of unintentionally doped ZnO (n-type), as-grown phosphorus-doped ZnO, and annealed phosphorus-doped ZnO NWs show clear differences related to the presence of intragap donor and acceptor states. The electrical transport measurements of phosphorus-doped NW FETs indicate a transition from n-type to p-type conduction upon annealing at high temperature, in good agreement with the PL results. The synthesis of p-type ZnO NWs enables novel complementary ZnO NW devices and opens up enormous opportunities for nanoscale electronics, optoelectronics, and medicines. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide direct band gap semiconductor synthesis of the high-quality p-type ZnO NWs using a simple (Eg ) 3.4 eV) that displays unique features such as large chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using phosphorus 1 exciton binding energy (Eb ) 60 meV) and large piezo- pentoxide (P2O5) as the dopant source. -

Stabilisation of Clayey Soil with Lime, Sodium Hydroxide, Aluminium
ISSN 2321 3361 © 2020 IJESC Research Article Volume 10 Issue No.5 Stabilisation of Clayey Soil with Lime, Sodium Hydroxide, Aluminium Oxide and Phosphorus Pentoxide Bhawna Sahay Assistant Professor Noida International University, India Abstract: Soil Stabilisation is a method to improve the geotechnical properties of soil such as bearing capacity, shear strength, plastic limit, liquid limit, etc. it is important before construction of any project whether it is buildings and pavement construction. There are numerous method available for stabilisation of soil but with chemical stabilisation is a quick method. Keywords: Stabilisation, bearing capacity, plastic limit, liquid limit. I. INTRODUCTION with water which results into a powerful compaction and giving higher density for same compaction effort. Clayey soil is originated from weathering and disintegration of rocks. It is generally classified as low compressible soil, medium compressible soil and highly compressible soil. The volume changes and shrinkage is a major problem occur in it. It is generally classified as highly plastic soil which depends on the mineral content of the soil. Stabilisation of soil with chemicals increase the strength of soil and improve the general properties of soil. Lime, sodium hydroxide, aluminium oxide and phosphorus pentoxide reacts vigorously with soil which interacts with the clay particles of soil and increases the resisting capacity of soil. II. CHEMICALS Lime: Calcium oxide or lime is available in white colour powder form, highly reactive in nature, modify all fine grained soil and improves the plasticity, moisture holding capacity, swell and shrinkage behaviour of soil and stability of soil. Aluminium Oxide Aluminium oxide is white coloured shining powder form which reacts with soil to form a sample little bit cool due to its affinity with water. -
