Particulate and sulf?lr dioxid? ecjssims are ccntrolled b:: 3 dry scrubber consisting af a sprzy dryer abjorber (SIX) and tagP.cuse. Scrubbed flue gas is exhausted t3 the atmos3here by a 952-foot high radial brick-lined corcrete .stack. Yulti-Metal Modified Method 5 (4ME) sampling train was used to isokinetica!ly collect sclid and vapor phase trace metals. The samples 'were crrllected and analyzed as per the EPA Draft Method "Methodology far the Determination of Metals Emissions in Exhaust Gases from Stationary Source Combustion Processes". The aerosol or solid phase trace metal samples were collected on high purity Pallflex' filters. The vapor phase trace metals were collected in an all glass impinger train. The first and second impingers each contained :00 cc of a mixture of 5% HNO? and 10% H,O,... The third and fourth impingers contained 100 cc cf a mixture of 4% KMnC, and 10% H,SO:. These impingers collect any elemental mercury which might penetrate the first two impingers.

The sampling train was rigorously cleaned prior to sampling to remove any traces cf organic materials which react rapidly tc reduce Cr(V1) to Cr(II1). In addition, nonorganic vacuum grease was used to sea! all ground glass joints in the sampling train. A heated glass-lined silmpling probe was used to extract the samplos from the stack. The first two impingers were charged with 1 N NaOH which acts as a preservative. The samples were collected following Method 5 sampling protxol. After completion of sampling, the frc4 half of the train was recovered using 0.5% Na,CO:... The backhalf was recovered using 0.1 N Na@H. The recovered samples were stored at 4 'C until analysis. In the laboratory, the three-part field sample was combined, pH adjusted, APDC chelating agent added and extracted with MiBK. The MiBK was then evaporated and the residue taken up in nitric acid. The extract was then analyzed by ICP in accordance with EPA Method 6010. An integrated flue gas sample was extracted simultaneously with each particulate and sulfur dioxide sample using a specially designed gas sampling system. Integrated flue gas samples were collected in 44-liter Tedlar bags housed in a protective aluminum housing. After sampling was complete, the bags were sealed and returned to the laboratory for Orsat aralysis. Priyr to sampling, tne Tedlsr bags are leak, checked at 1:. 2 IN.HI;. v3cuum w3;h a? in-line -stmeter. 332s with any detectable inleakage are discarded. Testing on the SDA Inlet was conducted using a singls point traverse. Each test run was 60 minutes in duratior. Testing cnthe Stack was conducted from four test ports oriented at 90 degrees. These test ports are ,located seven stack diameters downstream of the breeching inlet and eievsn diameters upstream of the stack exit. 4 16-ooint traverse was used to extract representative trace metals and chromium VI samples. Each traverse point was sampled four minutes to give a tota? sampling time of 64 minutes per run. The important results of the test are summarized in Section 2. Detailed results are presented in Section 3. Field data and all other supporting information are presented in the appendices. 3 2 SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION The results of the trace metals determinations are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. Chromium VI results are DreSented in Table 3. The mass rates of trace metals determined at the Inlet sampling location, when stoichiometrically converted to the appropriate or actual species, and adjusted for unanalyzed species such Si02, Ti02 SOj and P20j give total particulate mass flow rates which agree very well with the total inlet particulate mass flows measured on August 9, 1988 when a complete duct traverse (48-points) was performed as shown below: Particulate Mass Rate LB/HR Calculated from Measured Trace Metals Run 3-27-90 8-9-86 1 32300 44300 2 472@0 4420@ Average 39700 42300 The above calculated mass rates for 3-27-90 do not exhibit good agreement with the particulate mass rate calculated directly from a gravimetric analysis of the trace metal samples (71,000, 67000 and 28000 LB/HR). This is not surprising inasmuch as the 3-27-90 sampling consisted of a 3-point traverse. This data suggests a severe stratification of particulate mess flaw in the inlet dxting. Some contaminatiop occurred of the Run 1 sample :,Zliected at the stack test site uh:ch invalidated the Run ! results for arsenic, cadmium and zinc. This contaninaticn did nct effect cther trace Elements nor vas it observed in the subseqirent test rcns. P No other difficulties were encountered in the field or in th6 la’soratsry eveluation of the samples. On the basis of this fact ane a complete review of the entire data and results, it is our opinion, subject to the above qualifications, that the results reported herein are accurate and closely reflect the actual values which existed at the time the test was performed.

  • Hot Plate Safety
    LABORATORY SAFETY GUIDELINE Hot Plate Safety Hot plates used in labs present many potential dangers, such as burns, fires, and electrical shock, which can cause injuries, significant disruption of lab operations, and loss of scientific data. Burns • The hot plate is a source of heat when on, and for some time after it has been turned off. The temperature of the heated plate can reach 500°C and can cause severe burns. Electric Shock • Touching the hot plate with the power cords can melt through the insultation and cause electric shock. Fire Hazard • Electrical spark hazard from either the on-off switch or the bimetallic thermostat used to regulate temperature, or both, are a design flaw issue in older hotplate models. If the equipment sparks near combustible or flammable materials, fire could result. • Exercise caution when heating flammable materials. • Hot/stirrer plates have an additional risk if an operator accidentally turns on the wrong feature. • Hot plates are NOT explosion proof or intrinsically safe. Basic Precautions: • Only use hot plates that have been approved by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) such as Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL). • Read the manufacturer’s instructions before using and consider registering the device with the manufacturer so you will be notified of any warnings or recalls. • Periodically inspect equipment prior to use: o Do not use if the plug or cord is worn, frayed, or damaged, if the grounding pin has been removed, or if a spark is observed. o Check for corrosion of the thermostat, which can cause a spark. o Test the function of the “off” switch on each hot plate to verify that it works and the device cools quickly when the switch is in the “off” position.

  • Lab # 4: Separation of a Mixture
    Name: Date Completed: Lab Partner(s): Lab # 4: Separation of a Mixture Lab Accelerated Chemistry 1 Objective You will be given a mixture containing sodium chloride (NaCl, table salt), benzoic acid (C7H6O2, a common food preservative), and silicon dioxide (SiO2, sand). Your goal is to separate the substances and determine the percent of each in the original mixture. Here is the separation scheme: Mixture (NaCl, benzoic acid, sand) Extract with 100°C H O 2 Decant residue supernatant Sand (wet) NaCl, benzoic acid Cool Filter evaporate H O 2 residue filtrate Sand (dry) Benzoic acid (wet) NaCl (solution) evaporate H2O Benzoic acid (dry) Introduction Mixtures are not unique to chemistry; we use and consume them on a daily basis. The beverages we drink each morning, the fuel we use in our automobiles, and the ground we walk on are mixtures. Very few materials we encounter are pure. Any material made up of two or more substances that are not chemically combined is a mixture. The isolation of pure components of a mixture requires the separation of one component from another. Chemists have developed techniques for doing this. These methods take advantage of the differences in physical properties of the components. The techniques to be demonstrated in this laboratory are the following: Extraction. This uses a solvent to selectively dissolve one component of the solid mixture. With this technique, a soluble solid can be separated from an insoluble solid. Decantation. This separates a liquid from insoluble solid sediment by carefully pouring the liquid from the solid without disturbing the solid. Recrystallization.

  • UVM Cosmogenic Laboratory: Be/Al Extraction
    Draft 9: Created on June 15, 2018, be_al_extraction_v9.docx UVM Cosmogenic Laboratory: Be/Al Extraction Purpose: This method details how we extract Be and Al from purified quartz. Hazards: The primary hazard associated with this method is contact with or inhalation exposure to concentrated acids (HF, HCLO4, HCl, HNO3, H2SO4) and beryllium. Personal Protective Gear: Goggles, thin (nitrile) gloves, rubber lab shoes, and lab coat at all times. Add rubber lab smock and face shield when handling HF and HCLO4. Why Blue and Yellow: We work with samples containing a wide range of different 10Be concentrations. To reduce the chance of contaminating low-level samples with material from high-level samples, we maintain two different sets of lab equipment. Low-level samples are processed on yellow lab equipment. High-level samples are processed on blue lab equipment. It is imperative that these two sets of equipment be kept apart and not traded between the processing stations. All labware is clearly color-coded, either on the item itself or on the storage box. Only take labware from the processing stream in which you are working. 1 Draft 9: Created on June 15, 2018, be_al_extraction_v9.docx TEN COMMANDMENTS OF THE UVM COSMOGENIC LABORATORY 1.) Safety is always top priority Approach all of your lab work with this in mind! Understand the safety features of the lab and know how to use them, and know what to do in an emergency. Make sure you are totally comfortable with a procedure before you attempt it. Never perform high-hazard parts of the method when you are alone or tired.
