  • Alphabetical Index of Substances and Articles
    ALPHABETICAL INDEX OF SUBSTANCES AND ARTICLES - 355 - NOTES TO THE INDEX 1. This index is an alphabetical list of the substances and articles which are listed in numerical order in the Dangerous Goods List in Chapter 3.2. 2. For the purpose of determining the alphabetical order the following information has been ignored even when it forms part of the proper shipping name: numbers; Greek letters; the abbreviations “sec” and “tert”; and the letters “N” (nitrogen), “n” (normal), “o” (ortho) “m” (meta), “p” (para) and “N.O.S.” (not otherwise specified). 3. The name of a substance or article in block capital letters indicates a proper shipping name. 4. The name of a substance or article in block capital letters followed by the word “see” indicates an alternative proper shipping name or part of a proper shipping name (except for PCBs). 5. An entry in lower case letters followed by the word “see” indicates that the entry is not a proper shipping name; it is a synonym. 6. Where an entry is partly in block capital letters and partly in lower case letters, the latter part is considered not to be part of the proper shipping name. 7. A proper shipping name may be used in the singular or plural, as appropriate, for the purposes of documentation and package marking. - 356 - INDEX Name and description Class UN No. Name and description Class UN No. Accumulators, electric, see 4.3 3292 Acid mixture, nitrating acid, see 8 1796 8 2794 8 2795 Acid mixture, spent, nitrating acid, see 8 1826 8 2800 8 3028 Acraldehyde, inhibited, see 6.1 1092 ACETAL 3 1088

  • Furan Compounds
    48 Wilson : Reactions of Furan Compounds. Part II. 15. Reactions of Furan Compounds. Part II. Fission of the Tetrahydro- furan and the Tetrahydropyran Ring. By CHRISTOPHERL. WILSON. Various tetrahydrofuran compounds and tetrahydropyran with reagents such as acetic anhydride or hydrogen bromide give open-chain butane or pentane dkrivatives. The fission reaction has been applied to tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, its acetate, chloride and bromide, methyl tetrahydrofuroate, acetotetrahydrofurfurylamide, and tetrahydropyran. Simple methods of preparation of the following compounds have been devised : 1 : 2 : 5-triacetoxy-, 1 : 2 : 5-trihydroxy-, 1 : 2 : 5- tribromo-, l-bromo-5-ucetoxy-, and 1 : 5-dibromo-n-pentane, 1 : 4-dibrornobutane, 1-bromo-A4-pentene,and 3-bromopropylethylene oxide. PAUL(Bull. SOC.chim., 1933, 53, 417; 1941, 8, 369; Compt. rend., 1939, 208, 587) appears to have carried out the first systematic experiments on the splitting of the ether linkages in the tetrahydro-furan and -pyran rings, and the present work is supplementary to his. The discussion is divided into sections according to the fission reagent. Fission by Acetic A nhydride.-Paul (Zoc. cit., 1933) investigated the reaction of tetrahydrofuran derivatives with acetic anhydride in the presence of zinc chloride as catalyst by heating the reactants in a sealed tube to 190-ZOO". He showed, e.g., that tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is converted into 1 : 2 : 5-triacetoxypentane, but we find that use of a sealed tube is not always necessary, refluxing at atmospheric pressure for some time being sufficient with both tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol and methyl tetrahydrofuroate (I). The latter gave a compound derived from methyl as-diacetoxyvalerate (11).

  • Used at Rocky Flats
    . TASK 1 REPORT (Rl) IDENTIFICATION OF CHEMICALS AND RADIONUCLIDES USED AT ROCKY FLATS I PROJECT BACKGROUND ChemRisk is conducting a Rocky Flats Toxicologic Review and Dose Reconstruction study for The Colorado Department of Health. The two year study will be completed by the fall of 1992. The ChemRisk study is composed of twelve tasks that represent the first phase of an independent investigation of off-site health risks associated with the operation of the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant northwest of Denver. The first eight tasks address the collection of historic information on operations and releases and a detailed dose reconstruction analysis. Tasks 9 through 12 address the compilation of information and communication of the results of the study. Task 1 will involve the creation of an inventory of chemicals and radionuclides that have been present at Rocky Flats. Using this inventory, chemicals and radionuclides of concern will be selected under Task 2, based on such factors as the relative toxicity of the materials, quantities used, how the materials might have been released into the environment, and the likelihood for transport of the materials off-site. An historical activities profile of the plant will be constructed under Task 3. Tasks 4, 5, and 6 will address the identification of where in the facility activities took place, how much of the materials of concern were released to the environment, and where these materials went after the releases. Task 7 addresses historic land-use in the vicinity of the plant and the location of off-site populations potentially affected by releases from Rocky Flats.

Production of Malonic Acid through the Fermentation of Glucose Abstract The overall process to produce malonic acid has not drastically changed in the past 50 years. The current process is damaging to the environment and costly, requiring high market prices. Lygos, Inc., a lab in Berkeley, California, has published a patent describing a way to produce malonic acid through the biological fermentation of genetically modified easty cells. This proposed technology is appealing as it is both better for the environment and economically friendly. For the process discussed in this report, genetically modified Pichia Kudriavzevii yeast cells will be purchased from the Lygos lab along with the negotiation of exclusive licensing rights to the technology. The cells will be grown in fermentation vessels, while being constantly fed oxygen, glucose and fermentation media. The cells will excrete malonic acid in the 101 hour fermentation process.

    Mystery Substance Identification The Identification of Unlabeled Laboratory Chemicals Found on School Premises Perhaps the most commonly posed question we encounter is, “I have a container of chemical on my shelf. I do not know what it is. Can you help me?” The following text and suggested procedures are an effort to provide the willing science teacher the means to classify such substances for disposal. No, it is not our intent to identify the material for use. It is our intent to classify the material for disposal. It is likely that your mystery substance was inherited. In order to avoid leaving someone else such a legacy we urge you to be rigorous in your labeling activities. If you wish to postpone the identification process, then assume the chemical is severely hazardous and treat it accordingly. This suggests that you would want to protect the container from fire, being dropped, etc. Turn to the index of your Flinn Scientific Catalog/Reference Manual. Find the section dedicated to Chem- Safா Bags and Saf-Storா Cans. A pictorial presentation takes you through the step-by-step process of “packaging” the substance. Once packaged it is likely the material will be safer while it remains on your premises. We feel it is unnecessary to completely identify the item, an PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION undertaking that will involve both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Our goal is not to salvage but to help the science A lot can be learned about a mystery substance teacher rid himself or herself of this mystery substance. Yes, we just by examining its container.
