    Notes: Risk assessments have been performed to determine the risk associated with the transportation of hazardous wastes through a city. In the course of these assessments, a number of modeling issues arose relating to transportation accident rates, the characterization of incidents, the effect of thermal radiation, the impact of exposure to toxic chemicals, and the threshold for acceptable risk. This paper discusses these issues.

    Notes: This paper presents the design of ribbon wound pressure vessels useful for Ammonia, Urea and Methanol plants. The design is to create a thin shell of 1/5 the total wall thickness required, weld it to the end pieces, and wind 4 to 8 mm thick ribbons of 80 mm width at an angle of 15 to 30 degrees on the inner shell, using a prestress. The ribbons are welded at the ends and an even number of layers are wound cross-helically on to the shell. With more than 7000 vessels over the pressure range of 50 to 350 atmospheres in use in the various chemical industries in China over the past 30 years, their safety record has been excellent. Of particular interest has been the application of this technology in the Ammonia and Urea plants, where the design allows fabrication of these vessels at substantial reduction in cost, and early delivery, when compared to the mono wall technology.

    Notes: Most audits try to look at a representative selection of the plant procedures and equipment. An alternative is a survey, a look in depth at selected procedures (such as those for testing alarms and trips, issuing permits-to-work, controlling modifications, taking samples or testing relief devices) or selected equipment (such as level glasses or equipment for handling LPG). If the procedure or equipment is well-chosen, surveys may make a bigger contribution to safety, per person-hour, than a conventional audit.

    Notes: Under OSHA 1910.119, all Process Safety Management (PSM) facilities are required to keep their pressure relief system design information current. This article demonstrates why a pressure relief system design verification effort must be based on an equipment list, rather than a relief device list, in order to ensure that every piece of equipment is adequately protected. The formerly common practice of simply checking the design bases of all existing relief devices is deficient is deficient since this technique does not systematically ensure that every piece of equipment is protected.The “Berwanger Method” is a step by step process for designing or analyzing a pressure relief system to meet OSHA 1910.119 Process Safety Information (PSI) and Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) mandates. The method uses a relational database which tracks the relationships between protected equipment, potential overpressure scenarios, and protective devices.The challenge facing an operating company does not end once the design basis has been “verified” - the design basis information must also be maintained and be readily accessible to avoid costly reinvention of the wheel down the road. The “Berwanger Method” also addresses these maintenance issues.

    Notes: This paper reports on a comprehensive literature search and small scale experimental work on the reaction characteristics of phosphorous trichloride and water. More than 30 tests were conducted, including both closed and open test cells. The water to phosphorus trichloride molar ratio was varied from 1 to 25. When in contact, water and phosphorus trichloride will form two liquid layers with a reaction starting at the interface. The impact of variables on reaction rates including the interface surface area, layer depth, and stirring were investigated experimentally. A reaction rate model that fits all the measured data is presented. Case studies illustrating the use of this data for emergency relief systems and vent containment design are presented in reference.

    Notes: Two major accidents in the 80's: the summit Tunnel Fire, England and Piper Alpha disaster, an offshore platform in the North Sea; and very recently, possible explosion of the Boeing, TWA flight 800 at New York, makes it imperative that further research into the mechonisms of the ignition of flammable vapor/air mixture in contact with hot surfaces needs to be done. There have been a number of studies of ignition by hot surfaces, but in all these studies the ignition sources were wire, sphere or strip, i.e., most of them were flat surfaces. But to the authors' knowledge, other variables which affect the ignition mechanism such as irregular geometrical shapes have not been studied. The purpose of this paper is to examine how the degree of confinement (or, configuration), size and orientation, of the heated surface affects the ignition temperature of the flammable vapors. The results were obtained by experimentnal and by computational fluid dynamics.

    Notes: The design and deflagration pressure relief vents is based on correlations developed for various types of combustible materials and for enclosures of different strengths. The primary guideline for deflagration vent design in the US is NFPA 68 Guide for Venting of Deflagrations [5]. That document gives guidance for the design of vents for enclosures containing flammable gases, specifically hydrogen, coke oven gas, propane, and methane. Application of the guide to other gases is achieved using the KG value. Values of KG are published for a relatively small number of gases, as seen in Table D-1 of NFPA 68. This work present KG data on several additional gases obtained in a laboratory scale test vessel along with analysis of the results with respect to published values of fundamental burning velocity.

    Notes: In May 1996, the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code Committee of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) proposed for adoption by the Association a new edition of NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code. This new edition was the culmination of two and one-half years' work by the Committee and included one of the most significant changes to that document in some twenty years: the incorporation of mandatory fire protection criteria for warehouses and other inside areas that store flammable and combustible liquids in containers and portable tanks.

    Notes: This paper describes the development of a risk ranked Inspection Recommendation procedure that is used by one of Exxon's chemical plants to prioritize repairs that have been identified during equipment inspection.As part of the Company's Safety Management Practices initiative in the late 1980's a procedure was put into place to ensure that an Inspector's repair recommendations were properly addressed by the organization. The initial procedures were successful at “systematizing” the documentation and stewardship-to-completion of the Inspector's recommendation, however, there were complications with the original process: (1)The Inspector made a simple High, Medium or Low assessment of the priority/criticality of the recommendation. Frequently, this resulted in disagreements with Operations about the true priority of the recommendation.(2)If there was agreement on the priority of the recommendation, there was still disagreement on the relative rank within the priority-which high priority was the highest priority?(3)With limited funds to spend on repairs, it was (and is) important to make sure that the money was being spent on the highest risk items that had the greatest risk reduction/cost benefit ratio.To address these concerns, the procedure was modified to incorporate a risk assessment of the recommendation by both the Inspector and Operations. In the new procedure, the Inspector describes the deficiency that he/she finds and assesses the probability of failure within a certain time-frame. Operations must assess the consequences, from an environmental, safety and economics standpoint, were the failure to occur. These assessments are combined in the typical risk equation (risk = probability × consequences) to arrive at a severity index which serves to rank the recommendation relative to the other recommendations. Because Operations participates in the assessment there is very little disagreement about the priority of the recommendation. The severity index puts the recommendations in order so it is quite clear which are the highest priority recommendations. This process has helped to focus the entire organization on those deficiencies that represent the greatest risk with the result that less time and money is spent correcting items that have a low risk/cost benefit ratio, allowing these savings to be used to reduce the higher risks in the plant.

    Notes: A simple analytical method is presented for estimating the hybrid minimum ignition energy (HMIE) of dust-gas mixtures, based on the assumed generality of Bartknecht's well-known test data for mixtures of propane with a series of dusts in air. Since the HMIE equation requires input data which might be unavailable, the use of conservative default methods is discussed.

    Notes: A large and potentially hazardous decrease in aldehyde autoignition temperature (AIT) occurs with increased pressure. The AIT-pressure curve determined in a 5 L stainless steel sphere was similar for propionaldehyde and butyraldehyde in air, falling from about 185°C at atmospheric pressure to 90°C at 140 psia. Reduction of oxygen concentration had little effect on propionaldehyde AIT. At 100°C and 140 psia, autoignitions accompanied by at least a doubling of pressure were observed above 4% oxygen. In the presence of a few grams of free liquid, propionaldehyde vapor ignited in air at initial conditions significantly below the AIT. The mechanism appears to involve rapid Fe-catalyzed exothermic liquid-phase oxidation leading to autoignition of the adjacent heated gas layer. An acetaldehyde vapor-air mixture in the presence of free liquid and rust exploded at room temperature when air pressure was increased to 95 psia; this result is discussed with reference to a cylinder overpressurization that occurred while making up an ostensibly sub-LFL calibration mixture with compressed air. Propionaldehyde's limiting oxygen concentration (LOC) was investigated in the near-autoignition region using the same 5L apparatus; the findings are discussed with reference to an overpressurization incident in an air-liquid partial oxidation reactor. The general results are used to illustrate the application of LOC in partial oxidation processes subject to autoignition and to discuss elements of the current ASTM draft test method for LOC, which does not address test difficulties associated with condensable and/or reactive gas systems.

    Notes: Risk analysis in chemical process industries is an elaborate exercise involving several steps from preliminary hazard identification to development of credible accident scenarios, to preparation of strategies for prevention or control of damage.All this requires substantial inputs of time and money. In order to get an approximate yet workable assessment of risk at much lesser costs, indices have been developed which link typical findings of elaborate risk analysis to scales of risk. The scales, in turn, provide workable measures of hazards/risks/safety.In the past, indices have been reported for swift risk assessment - the noteworthy among them include Dow fire and explosion index, Mond fire, explosion and toxicity index, IFAL index, and mortality index. A few rapid ranking techniques have also been proposed.This paper presents a new system of methodologies for Hazard Identification and Ranking (HIRA). The system consists of two indices: one for fire and explosion hazards and another for the hazard due to likely release of toxic chemical. The magnitudes of these indices indicate the severity of the likely accident; in terms of the size of the impacted area.HIRA has been applied to a typical chemical process industry - a sulfolane plant - and its performance has been compared with that of the Dow's and the Mond's indices. The study reveals that HIRA is more sensitive and accurate than the other indices.

    Notes: On October 31, 1987 a crane lifting a heat exchanger convection section failed and severed a 4″ loading line and a 2″ pressure relief line to an HF alkylation reactor settler drum at a petroleum refinery in Texas City, Texas. Vapors were emitted under pressure for about two hours and the vessel was plugged and drained aproximately 44 hours later. A plume from this accidental release passed through residential areas, damaging some vegetation (brown lawns), and spawning a class action law suit. An extensive analysis was conducted to determine the total inventory loss and to model the blowdown process and the concentrations of HF in the plume. Since the discharge rate was decreasing with time, a peak concentration of HF in the emitted vapors occurred just before the water spray mitigation system became fully operative. Consequently, the mitigation efforts were more effective late in the response when concentrations were already low. The predicted plume concentrations are consistent with observed vegetation damage effects, with concentrations below Emergency Response Planning Guideline Level 3 past 3/4 mile from the source. These results support a policy of sheltering in place during such an event.

    Notes: A fifty-five gallon steel drum of a liquid organic peroxide pressurized and ruptured in the mix room of a manufacturing plant. The head of the drum blew off and the ejected material ignited. The resulting fire was extinguished by the building sprinkler system and operating personnel. Although there were no injuries, the fire caused significant damage in the mix room. The investigation of this incident, its likely cause, and the corrective actions will be discussed.

    Notes: The Brazoria County Petrochemical Council, 13 companies that are working together to enhance relations between industry and the community, united in a joint effort at complying with the EPA's Risk Management Program. One of the significant issues the group had to address was the need to develop meaningful hazard assessment for presentation to the public. The EPA's “Table Look-Up Approach” found in the Offsite Consequence Analysis Guidance document is certainly a good tool; however, the built-in conservatism results in over-estimates of potential hazard areas. Much more meaningful results are shown to be obtained using one of the hazard release models.The value of using a credible scenario with realistic meteorological data is demonstrated through the consistently smaller areas predicted by the PHAST Model for planning purposes. Realistic scenarios/failure modes and realistic model parameters are important so that the risk to the public is not overstated. Proprietary models such as PHAST are invaluable in providing more meaningful consequences for planning purposes.

    Notes: Some of the hazards encountered by process plant operators involve the operation of in-line valves to control, start, and to stop flow. Torque required to operate valves may vary according to valve wheel size, in-line pressure, and valve flange position (open/closed). This study determined how valve wheel size, in-line pressure and valve position (open/closed) affect torque required to actuate a valve. Data were gathered with each combination of size, pressure and position for 336 valves in an operating petrochemical process facility. The results indicate that the main effects of valve wheel size, the in-line pressure, and open/closed valve position significantly affect operational torque requirements. In addition, the interaction between position and pressure was significant for operational torque. The implication of these results is that operators are exposed to operational torque requirements that exceed maximum acceptable capabilities that have been determined in previous studies.

    Notes: An ammonia storage tank was built at the BASF Antwerp site in 1969 on land reclaimed from the sea. After several years of operation uneven foundation settlement, of up 2, occurred. In order to assure stability of this area for the next operation period (at least 10 years) measures were taken to ensure continued safe operation. One key measure was strain gauge monitoring at the location of maximum stress.

    Notes: The Baker-Strehlow methodology was developed to provide an objective approach to prediction of blast pressures from vapor cloud explosions. The complete methodology was first published in 1994 [1]. Since then, it has evolved through ongoing research and use in VCE hazard analyses, facility siting studies and accident investigations. This article gives a brief overview of a paper on recent developments in the Baker-Strehlow methodology presented at the 31st Loss Prevention Symposium in Houston on March 9-13, 1997. Because the entire paper is too lengthy to be presented here, the following discussions may be lacking in some details. A copy of the complete paper can be obtained from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).Since the Baker-Strehlow method was first published, it has been used extensively in VCE hazard assessments in refineries and chemical plants. As expected, many practical lessons have been learned during the course of the hazard assessments, and the Baker-Strehlow method has evolved as a result. The changes have been evolutionary, not revolutionary. In keeping with the goals of the original study in which the methodology was developed, all changes have been incorporated with the intent of achieving an objective methodology to provide consistent prediction of VCE blast effects.The revisions to the Baker-Strehlow method resulting from experience gained during plant walk-downs and hazard assessments include: Systematic identification of “potential explosion sites” or “PESs,”Selection of the level of confinement for mixed zones of 2D and 3D confinement,Deciding on flame expansion when confinement is elevated above the vapor cloud,Selecting the reactivity for a fuel that is a mixture of fuels with differing reactivities,Predicting blast loads when there are multiple PES's within a vapor cloud considering different ignition source locations.

    Notes: Recent guidelines released by the U.S. EPA define a worst-case scenario as a release under stable atmospheric conditions defined as Pasquil-Gifford stability class F. Unfortunately, very few tests at F stability have been available heretofore to provide a basis for models. Recent test data with propane releases by the German research organization TUV provide a set of 60 experiments conducted specifically to define the effects of atmospheric stability class on dispersion. Of these, 25 tests were at F stability. A comparable number were at each other stability class A through E. In addition 23 tests were at wind speeds under 1.5 m/s in stable atmospheres. This paper reports on adjustments made to our models based on these new data by reducing the originally-postulated sensitivity to stability class. In spite of considerable scatter in the TUV data, particularly between two different types of propane analyzers, the model allows us to extract information by averaging over the tests.

    Notes: A multi-disciplinary team developed a guideline for determining access restriction zones around vented solids handling equipment. The guideline provides a method for ensuring the discharge from a vented explosion will not cause injury to personnel. The steps in this method include: calculating the extent of external hazards from vented explosions; identifying potential areas where personnel could be exposed to a hazard; identifying ways to eliminate or reduce the hazard area; and establishing and documenting any access restrictions needed. Hazard zone calculations use the latest knowledge from research into fireball size, flame length and external pressure equations in VDI 3673. The guideline provides guidance for using this information. Options for mitigating or reducing external hazards from vented explosions are also described. As part of the project, the team audited several solids handling systems to look for potential oversights in existing restricted access areas. Some of the team's learnings from these audits are reviewed.

    Notes: This paper defines situation awareness (SA) and discusses its importance to operator-machine system safety and functioning in the context of process control activities. Specifically, identified are relationships of human detection of critical process cues converying the status of automated control systems and operator interpretation of the meaning and relevance of such information to the potential for negative incidents in chemical processing. Beyond individual operator SA in interacting with control systems, intra- and inter- work team SA are discussed for supporting individual attainment of process control responsibilities. Factors critical to team SA are discussed. “Road blocks” to team SA are also analytically examined. Lastly, methods for assessing individual and team SA are reviewed and vehicles for relating outcomes of these methods to changes in process control operator and team behavior to improve human-machine system safety and performance are relayed.

    Notes: The knowledge of the ingition behavior of dust-air mixtures due to electrical sparks (MIE, Minimum Ignition Energy) and hot surfaces (MIT, Minimum Ignition Temperature) is important for risk assessments in chemical production plants. The ignition behavior determines the extent and hence the cost of preventive protection measures.This paper describes the use of the minimum ignition energy and minimum ignition temperature as very important safety indexes in practice.Based on the latest results from large scale experiments on pneumatic filling of silos with polymeric materials and new results of full scale filling tests using Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC) manufactured from a variety of materials, guidance can be given to ensure safe operation in different situations such as filling, emptying operations, type of powder handled.The aim of this paper is to assist people dealing with product. It reflects the present state of the art and current knowledge of the assessment and measures associated with powder handling.

    Notes: In mid-1997, an Advanced Process Control (APC) scheme was implemented at a resins manufacturing complex with the goal of minimizing flare fuel gas usage while maintaining sufficient energy (BTU/SCF flare gas) to be in environmental regulatory compliance. Prior to APC implementation, the flare system was manually controlled by plant operators with minor attention paid to the minimization of fuel gas usage. Since implementation, APC has saved the plant thousands of dollars in fuel gas costs and reduced unnecessary combusted fuel gas emissions.Hazard analysis techniques were used in the development of the control scheme. An overview of the APC used, the economic evaluation, and the hazard analysis techniques used in the project are presented here.

    Notes: In the risk assessment parlance, especially with reference to chemical process industries, the term “domino effect” is used to denote “chain of accidents,” or situations when a fire/explosion/missile/toxic load generated by an accident in one unit in an industry causes secondary and higher order accidents in other units. The multi-accident catastrophe which occurred in a refinery at Vishakhapatnam, India, on September 14, 1997, claiming 60 lives and causing damages to property worth over Rs 600 million, is the most recent example of the damage potential of domino effect.But, even as the domino effect has been documented since 1947, very little attention has been paid towards modeling this phenomena. In this paper we have provided a conceptual framework based on sets of appropriate models to forecast domino effects, and assess their likely magnitudes and adverse impacts, while conducting risk assessment in a chemical process industry. The utilizability of the framework has been illustrated with a case study.

    Notes: This article deals with fire protection for water miscible flammable liquids stored in plastic containers packaged in boxes located on pallets. A series of fire tests was conducted with palletized rack storage arrangements using in-rack sprinkler protection at various levels. The intent of the paper is to present data from this test series for these types of commodities. The paper will identify various existing water miscible flammable liquid products stored in this fashion and provide background information for protecting this type of storage as it relates to NFPA 30 Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code. The test data indicates that further research work is needed in the area of plastic containers for use with the storage of combustible and flammable liquids. Included in the paper are discussions concerning possible protection strategies and suggestions for future research which would benefit those involved in risk management of this type of commodity.

    Notes: The safest method to prevent fires and explosions of flammable mixtures in the first place. This method requires detailed knowledge of the flammability region as a function of the fuel, oxygen, and nitrogen concentrations. A triangular flammability diagram is the most useful tool to display the flammability region, and to determine if a flammable mixture is present during plant operations.This paper describes how to draw and use a flammability diagram. A procedure to estimate the flammability region using the available and sometimes limited data is discussed. The paper also shows how to use the flammability diagram with plant operations involving inerting and purging, and from bringing vessels into and out of service. A compilation of flammability diagrams for 30 materials, based on previously published data is provided.An automated apparatus for acquiring data for a flammability diagram is described. The apparatus consists of a 20-L sphere with an automated gas mixing system, a fuse-wire ignition system, and a high speed pressure measurement and data acquisition system. Data derived from the apparatus includes flammability limits, maximum pressure during combustion, and the maximum pressure rate. The effect of fuse-wire ignitor dynamics on the results is studied. A flammability diagram for methane drawn from data obtained from the apparatus, is presented.

    Notes: Regulatory issues related to material safety have made the accurate measurement and/or prediction of flash points essential. The flash point is one of the major physical properties used to determine the fire and explosion hazards of a liquid. Flash points are used by virtually all governmental entities worldwide to define “flammable” and “combustible” materials for shipping and safety regulations.A model is described here for the calculation of closed cup flash points for multicomponent, single liquid phase, mixtures. The model is based upon rigorous vapor/liquid equilibrium calculations supplemented with information about the lower flammable limits (LFL's) and heats of combustion (ΔHc's) for the mixture's constituent components. The closed cup flash points predicted with this model are typically within ± 5°C of the experimentally reported values. Such a model is useful as a means of verifying experimental data and as a tool for screening product formulations prior to experimental flash point determination. The model should considerably enhance the safety evaluation portion of the product development cycle, thus leading to shortened product time-to-market cycles. While flash points calculated with this model are in excellent agreement with experiment, experimental determination is still encouraged for critìcal safety applications.

    Notes: An explosion and flash fire in a fixed bed reactor occurred at a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Two employees were injured in the accident. The accident occurred in an ozone treatment building where ozone was used to treat odors from the offgas of the sludge concentration units. Excess ozone manually was routed to the fixed bed reactor (ozone destruct unit) where the ozone is catalytically transformed into oxygen before being discharged to the atmosphere.An investigation of the accident was conducted to determine the root cause of the explosion and flash fire and identify corrective actions which the WWTP management could undertake to prevent a recurrence. This investigation included site inspections, interview with the injured employees, sampling and analysis of various materials, an explosion dynamics analysis, and a root cause analysis.It was concluded that cooling oil from one of the ozone generation units entered the main ozone gas line due to a crack in one of the reactor's dielectric tubes. The cooling oil was vented into the ozone destruct unit when an employee opened a ball valve on the main ozone gas line. The cooling oil, essentially a saturated hydrocarbon mixture, reacted exothermically when it contacted the manganese dioxide catalyst. The exothermic reaction resulted in an explosion which propelled the access panel outwards and dispersed the catalyst pellets. A flash fire followed the explosion. The flash fire burned two employees and caused thermal damage to a nearby control panel.Although this accident was the first of its kind at this facility, this was not the first time that the ozone generator had experienced a failure of a dielectric tube. Thus, there was a significant probability that a dielectric tube failure could leak cooling oil into the main ozone gas line. This failure event could, in turn, result in another explosion and flash fire. The WWTP staff neither designed nor fabricated the ozone generator-destructor system. Therefore, it did not seem appropriate for the WWTP staff to modify the ozone system. Instead, it was recommended that the ozone destruct unit be taken out of service. The WWTP management acted on this recommendation.

    Notes: An explosion occurred in a petroleum product storage tank at a refinery. The liquid petroleum product was a heavy oil used as an asphalt extender. There were no injuries, but the cleanup was costly. The storage tank was one of several which received the product stream from a dehydration unit. The accident occurred shortly after the refinery was brought back on-line following a shutdown for schduled maintenance.This was the first incident of this kind to occur at this facility. Analysis of the process data and eyewitness observations indicated that the dehydration tower, which was supposed to be maintained at a minimum of 100°C during the shutdown, was allowed to drift below 100°C for an unknown period of time. This deviation enabled liquid water to enter the storage tank. Three operational factors contributed to the accident. Corrective actions were recommended to prevent a recurrence of a similar incident.

    Notes: Dust explosions have been with us for a long time. The first record of a dust explosion occurred in Turin, Italy, on December 14, 1785 [1]. The detailed record of this event is left to us by Count Morozzo. The event took place in Mr. Giacomelli's bakery. We know from his account that the weather was unseasonably dry, that a boy who worked in the bakery was using a shovel to stir and transfer the flour to a chute from a store room to the bakery and he had a lighted lamp to work by. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. No one was killed, and the building was saved by the sagacious fact of having plenty of windows. Since that first record, of course, there have been many explosions with much loss of life and significant economic consequences.

    Notes: From the 1960s onwards, the chemical and oil industries developed and used a number of new safety techniques which, in time, became second nature to those who applied them. They included the use of QRA for deciding priorities, Hazop and audits for identifying problems, inherently safer design for avoiding hazards, and more thorough investigation of incidents for identifying underlying causes. However, it has not yet become second nature to remember the accidents of the past and the actions needed to prevent them happening again.I joined industry in 1944 and moved to production in 1952. Then, and for at least 15 years afterwards, safety was a non-technical subject that could be left to arts graduates and elderly foremen. There was concern that people should not be hurt - great attention was paid to the lost-time accident rate - but there was no realization, that it was a subject worthy of systematic study by experienced technologists.This view changed at the end of the 1960s. A new generation of plants had been built, operating at higher temperatures and pressures and containing larger inventories of hazardous chemicals; the result was a series of fires and explosions and a worsening fatal accident rate. Figure 1 shows the situation in ICI, at the time the UK, s largest chemical company. Other companies experienced a similar state of affairs.As a result in 1968, I was appointed one of the company's first technical safety advisers, an unusual appointment at the time for someone with my experience, and if the reason for my appointment had not been so obvious I would have wondered what I had done wrong. I and my colleagues tried to apply the same sort of systematic thinking to safety that we applied in our other professional work. We developed some new concepts and techniques and adopted others. A common feature of our ides, realized only in restrospect, was that they consisted of more than mere problem-solving techniques. Once people had got used to these new concepts and used them a few times, they began to look at a whole range of problems in a different way.

    Notes: Case histories of 65 incidents in runaway reactions and emergency relief in Taiwan were analyzed and classified into several categories according to their causes, materials involved, equipment types, reaction types, and ignition sources. The cases in reactors and storage tanks were examined in more detail owing to the higher probability or larger potential hazard in these two types of equipments. The most common consequence of the incidents are explosions, fires, and atmospheric release of toxic chemicals. The most severe case was a thermal explosion from an organic peroxide storage area which caused the death of 33 persons. Popping and direct releasing of process chemicals to the atmosphere from relieving devices cause the greatest environmental concerns to the community close to the plants. Runaway reactions in batch type reactors occur frequently due to various operational mistakes. Heat of reaction is the most frequent ignition source of runaway reactions and emergency relief.

    Notes: EPA's Risk Management Program regulation, promulgated in June 1996 as 40 CFR Part 68 requires subject industries to submit Risk Management Plans by June 1999. This plan requires hazard assessment of the operations of a facility using worst case scenarios and alternative releases. EPA has provided an Off-site Consequence Analysis (OCA) guidance to help facilities in their hazard assessment.OxyChem will be significantly impacted by the RMP rule. This paper outlines OxyChem's general experience and its strategy in planning to comply with this rule. OxyChem's approach in the development of the scenarios required by the rule is described in this paper. Limitations involved in the use of EPA's look-up tables or a single modeling solution for conducting all of the OCA are discussed. A three tiered OCA approach is presented as a possible alternative.

    Notes: HFC-227ea (CF3CHFCF3;1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3-heptafluoropropane) is an effective replacement for Halon 1301 in fire suppression systems, providing rapid extinguishment of flames through a combination of physical and chemical mechanisms. The vast majority of applications for HFC-227ea involve the protection of Class A hazards, which are characterized by low fuel loadings and low energy output, with fire sizes often in the range of 5-10 kW. Mid- and large-scale testing has demonstrated that HFC-227ea, at its minimum design concentration of 7.0% v/v, is effective at extinguishing fires typical of those expected to occur in electronic data processing (EDP) facilities, telecommunication facilities and anechoic chambers. The levels of HF produced following extinguishment of typical Class a fires with HFC-227ea were well below the estimated mammalian LC50 and the human Dangerous Toxic Load (DTL), and do not appear to present a threat to electronic equipment.

    Notes: Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) has refined a process for developing inherently safer system designs based on methods used by Sandia to design detonation safety into nuclear weapons. The process was created when Sandia realized that standard engineering practices did not provide the level of safety assurance necessary for nuclear weapon operations, with their potential for catastrophic accidents. A systematic approach, which relies on mutually supportive design principles integrated through fundamental physical principles, was developed to ensure a predictably safe system response under a variety of operational and accident-based stesses. Robust, safe system designs result from this thematic approach to safety, minimizing the number of safety critical features. This safety assurance process has two profound benefits: the process avoids the need to understand or limit the ultimate intensity of off-normal environments and it avoids the requirement to analyze and test a large array of accident environment scenarios (e.g., directional threats, sequencing of environments, time races, etc) to demonstrate conformance to all safety requirements.

    Notes: A new method is described to enhance the management of process safety risks such that the number and type of safety systems protecting against any hazard are consistently predicated upon risk. Further, that such an assignment of safety systems can be made consistent throughout an organization. This consistency is gained through standardization of qualitative risk ranking and by setting company guidelines.

    Notes: Research was carried out to develop improved protection guidelines for silane handling systems through enhanced understanding of the behavior of releases of this pyrophoric gas. The approach involved addressing three aspects of the problem: the prompt ignition behavior of silane; the reactivity characteristics of quiescent silane/air mixtures; and the rates of reaction of silane leaked into enclosures with and without explosion venting, in the presence of ventilation air flow. A first conclusion, reached from tests in a ventilated cabinet, was that, contrary to prevailing belief, the ventilation flow has no measurable effect on the prompt ignition of the release. From experiments in a 5.1-liter (311-in.3) sphere it was found that silane/air mixtures of concentrations between 1.4 and 4.1% (by volume) are explosive but stable. In this case, piloted ignition tests yielded laminar burning velocities up to 5 m/s (1000 ft/min). Mixtures between 4.5 and 38% (the maximum reached in the tests) were found to be metastable, and would undergo spontaneous ignition after a delay ranging from 15 to 120 seconds, with the shorter values corresponding to higher silane concentrations. Experiments were also performed in a 0.645-m3 (22.8-ft3) vessel both with and without explosion venting, to measure the rates of energy release associated with impulsively-started silane leaks from 1/8 and 1/4-in. (3.2 and 6.4-mm) lines. A method for the prediction of the venting requirements of partial-volume deflagrations (PVD) was evolved into a tool to quantify the pressure rise from ignition of silane leaks in enclosures. These results represent a significant step toward updating existing design recommendations which prescribe ventilation requirements that are based on outdated and, in some instances, misinterpreted data.

    Notes: Gas explosion simulators are often used as tools in process plant design. This article presents some properties of gas explosions found using the EXSIM simulation software on three offshore modules with a total of nearly 10,000 simulations. The selected results are chosen for their supposed applicability to structural design in the process industries.Generalized data are presented for the effect of gas cloud size, explosion impulse vs. explosion pressure, pressure and impulse vs. duration, the probability of a “short” explosion, loading rate, pressure-time “shape” function, and the effect of introducing louvers.

    Notes: This paper reports the activity of four dibutyltin(IV)-N-arylidene-α-amino acid complexes against the National Cancer Institute (NCI) panel of 60 cell lines. The results indicated that three of the organotin complexes (C17H25NO3Sn, C18H27NO3Sn and C20H31NO3Sn) exhibit their highest cytotoxic effect on the NCI-522 (non-small cell lung cancer) cell line. The fourth complex, C21H27NO3Sn, exhibits its highest cytotoxic activity on the cell line RXF-631L (renal cancer). In general, a low to moderate cellular response was observed for all the organotin complexes, with at least one cell line in each subpanel of cells exhibiting a very low growth inhibition response to all the organotin complexes. The low-responding cell lines included HOP-62 (non-small lung cancer), DLD-1 (colon cancer), SF-539 (CNS cancer), SK-MEL-5 (melanoma), IGROV-1 (ovarian cancer) and RPMI-8226 (leukemia). The results also indicated that the compounds did not exhibit any significant subpanel activity and suggested that the compounds were not active in all the cell lines contained in any subpanel. The low to moderate activity of these compounds across the cell lines was attributed to the presence of nitrogen-bearing ligands which prevented the dissociation of the compound and the subsequent binding to DNA. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The volatile antimony compound trimethylantimony (TMA) was detected in headspace gases over anaerobic soil enrichment cultures spiked with potassium antimony tartrate. The presence of TMA was variable (12 positives from 104 cultures) and dependent upon both the inoculum source (environmental sample) and enrichment culture conditions. Positives for TMA formation were obtained with variable frequency for four of the six soils tested and for three types of enrichment culture, designed to encourage growth of nitrate-reducing, methane-producing or fermentative bacteria. The identity of the volatile antimony compound produced in each of the three types of enrichment culture was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-atomic absorption spectroscopy. There was no evidence of any other volatile antimony compound in the headspace gases. These data suggest that the capability to generate TMA is widely distributed in the terrestrial environment and is attributable to different metabolic types of micro-organisms. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The methods of synthesis, elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopic data and fungicidal activity against Ceratocystis ulmi are reported for a series of triorganotin esters of N-arylidene-ω-amino acids of general formula R3SnOCO(CH2)nN = CHAr (R = Ph, n-Bu; Ar = 2-HOC6H4, 2-HOC10H6; n = 1, 2, 3 and 5). The crystal structures for two of the compounds, tributyltin N-2-hydroxynaphthalidene glycinate (1) and tributyltin N-2-hydroxynaphthalidene-β-alaninate (2), have been determined. Although both of these compounds have a trans-R3SnO2 structure, in compound 1 the carboxylate group is monodentate and the fifth coordination position around the tin atom is taken up by a coordinated phenolic group, whereas in 2 the carboxylate group is bridging. These two examples thus correspond to the two different structures reported for trans-R3SnO2 complexes. Both compounds were found to be active against Ceratocystis ulmi, but there was no significant difference in their levels of biological activity against this particular fungus. Apart from compound 1, the other tributyltin compounds reported are believed to adopt the carboxylate bridging mode shown by compound (2).Crystal data: for 1, crystals monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 12.9435(11) Å, b = 13.5769(10) Å, c = 15.7715(12) Å, β = 108.919(6)°, Z = 4, Rf = 0.046 and Rw = 0.058 for 1448 significant reflections; for 2, crystals monoclinic, space group C 2/c,a = 24.588(14) Å, b = 9.733(3) Å, c = 27.611(12) Å,β = 113.49(4)°, Z = 8, Rf = 0.053 and Rw = 0.069 for 3822 significant reflections. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The ferrocene/ferricenium redox system plays a significant role in biological oxidation, reduction and free-radical reactions. Of particular interest are the findings of earlier investigations which showed certain water-soluble ferricenium salts to possess appreciable antiproliferative activity against various murine tumor lines and a xenografted human colorectal adenocarcinoma. Solubility in water, a prerequisite for efficacious transport and dissipation in central circulation, was then proposed as a principal requirement for the ferrocene complex system to exert antineoplastic activity irrespective of the oxidation state in which it is administered. In order to shed more light on this question, we decided to investigate the antiproliferative properties of polymer-ferrocene conjugates containing the metal complex in the non-oxidized (ferrocene) form while fulfilling the critical requirement of water solubility. To this end, five selected, water-soluble conjugates, synthesized by reversible coupling of 4-ferrocenylbutanoic acid to variously structured polyaspartamides featuring pendant primary amino groups as coupling sites, were tested in vitro against cultured HeLa cells at concentrations up to 50 µg Fe ml-1. Optimal antiproliferative activities, with IC50 in the range of 2-7 µg Fe ml-1, were determined for three compounds possessing tertiary-amine functions susceptible to protonation at physiological pH. Lower activities (IC50 = 45-60 µg Fe ml-1) were demonstrated for two poly(ethylene oxide)-containing conjugates. However, no reasonable structure-performance relationships can be derived at this stage from the small number of compounds tested. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Legislation on methylmercury within the European Union (EU), e.g. in food (national regulations) or water (EC Directives), requires that the determinations are of proven quality; thus implies that they should be carried out under strict quality control (QC). One method of achieving good quality control in chemical analysis is to verify the analytical performance of methods by analysing Certified Reference Materials (CRMs). While CRMs of biological matrices (e.g. fish, mussels) are already available, there was a lack of materials for the QC of sediment analysis. This paper describes the preparation of an estuarine sediment reference material, the homogeneity and stability studies and the analytical work performed for the certification of the contents of total mercury and methylmercury. The results of a group of expert laboratories are discussed and the methods used to certify the mass fractions of total mercury (132 ± 3 mg kg-1 on a dry mass basis) and methylmercury (75.5 ± 3.7 μg kg-1 as CH3Hg+ on a dry mass basis) are described. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Butyltin concentrations in the sediments of two coastal areas of British Columbia, Canada, are reported. Two recent box cores from the deepest basin in the Strait of Georgia were sectioned and analyzed by GC-atomic emission spectrometry. No butyltin compounds were detected above 0.5 μgSn kg-1 (dry weight) in either core. These results are compared to those for a previous (1991) core from the same area. In that study, tributyltin (TBT) concentrations were in the range 1-2 μgSn kg-1 down the core and were higher than those of either of the degradation products, dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT). Radioisotope dating (210Po-210Pb counting methods) was used to establish the rates of sedimentation of 0.25 and 2.6 cm y-1 at the two sites. Data suggest that a combination of rapid deposition of new, less-contaminated material and degradation of previously deposited butyltin compounds has resulted in the observed absence. Thirty-three surface sediments from the northern BC coastal harbor at Prince Rupert, collected in 1995, were analyzed for butyltin residues by GC-FPD. Concentrations of TBT, DBT and MBT were in the ranges from below the appropriate limit of detection (LOD) to 1262, to 109 and to 37 μgSn kg-1, respectively. TBT/DBT ratios ranged from 0.2 to 62 with most above unity, indicating that there is continuing fresh input of TBT. The sources are almost exclusively large ocean-going vessels that use the harbor for long-term anchorage. These findings are discussed with reference to the global TBT status. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The effects of: (1) the modifier type (methanol and formic, acetic and propionic acids), (2) complexing agents (diethylammonium diethyldithiocarbamate, ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate) either with or without acidic modifiers, (3) the extraction temperature (50-80 °C) and pressure (30-50 MPa), (4) the extraction procedure (static-dynamic or dynamic), and (5) the volume of static modifier, on the extraction efficiency of native butyl- and phenyl-tin compounds from sediment, were evaluated comprehensively. The highest extraction efficiency for butyl- and phenyl-tin compounds was obtained at 30 MPa and 50 °C by using CO2 modified with acetic acid (200 μl in the cell). Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) extracts were hexylated and determined by GC-FPD using a 610 nm bandpass filter without any clean-up step. In summary, the developed analytical procedure is robust (no restrictor clogging; free from FPD interferences), it is low-cost (no complexing agents needed), it has a high sample throughput (〈3 h), it is independent of the matrix for the determination of butyltin compounds in sediment, and it provides the highest precision among the SFE procedures reported for organotin determination. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A radiotracer experiment was conducted in a controlled experimental ecosystem (microcosm) to determine the persistence and behavior of tributyltin (TBT) under conditions simulating a temperate, shallow estuarine ecosystem. Radiolabeled TBT was introduced to the estuarine microcosm, which contained estuarine water, sediment and fish. TBT and its degradation products were monitored for 40 days. TBT rapidly distributed among the compartments of the microcosm. The TBT half-life in the water column was 2.55 days for the first 11 days and then slowed to 13.4 days. More than 60% of the TBT and its metabolites were found in the sediment, indicating that the sediment was an important sink for butyltins. Higher concentrations of butyltins, relative to the water column concentrations, were found in the surface microlayer. TBT could be bioconcentrated by the fish to levels more than 200 times the exposure concentration, and underwent rapid degradation in the fish body, so that high concentrations of its metabolites were found in the fish. The concentrations of TBT adsorbed on the suspended particles were three orders of magnitude greater than that in dissolved form. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Detection limits were obtained in the range 0.3-0.4 μg As l-1 while the repeatability was in the range 3-4% (RSD) for concentrations above five times the detection limit. Urine samples could be analysed directly after a ten-fold dilution step. Arsenic compound concentrations were determined in urine samples from a volunteer who consumed a portion of tuna fish high in arsenobetaine. It was found that arsenobetaine was excreted rapidly via the urine with maximum concentrations after 12 h. Nearly complete arsenobetaine excretion was reached after 48 h. Background levels of arsenic compounds were determined in 61 urine samples from non-exposed inhabitants of The Netherlands. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) hybrid networks have been prepared by the reaction of PDMS(OH)2, average molecular weight 26 × 103, 43.6 × 103 and 58 × 103, and methyltriethoxysilane (MeTEOS, 10-60 wt%) using a dibutyltin dilaurate or dibutyltin diacetate catalyst. By hydrolysis and homo- and co-condensation, MeTEOS forms a siliceous domain (MeSD) and acts as a crosslinker for the PDMS domain. Kinetic studies showed that high MeTEOS and catalyst concentrations and reduction of free surface area favor fast gelation and efficiency in converting MeTEOS to the MeSD. Under the water-sparse conditions utilized, cure was slow and substantial evaporative loss of MeTEOS occurred. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: An investigation into the microstructural properties of CoxAg1 - x films, grown by pulsed laser deposition, as a function of deposition and post-deposition annealing temperature is reported. Surface morphology and microstructure were investigated by XPS, SEM and TEM measurements. Magnetic measurements were used to gain further information on particle size distributions through the analysis of the temperature dependence of the irreversible magnetization. Depending on cobalt content, deposition and post-deposition annealing temperature, the maximum of the cobalt grains diameter distribution was estimated to be in the range 2-6 nm. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The dynamical behavior of γ-Fe2O3 particles dispersed in a polymer have been investigated by a.c. susceptibility and Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements. The effect of interparticle interactions on the relaxation time is satisfactorily described by a superparamagnetic model where the dipolar energy is determined by a statistical calculation for a disordered arrangement of particles with volume distribution and easy axes in random orientations. The results indicate that the single particle anisotropy energy is mainly determined by surface anisotropy and that the energy barrier increases with the interaction strength. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Cultures of the fungus Scopulariopsis brevicaulis were grown in antimony-rich media. Although volatile compounds of other elements were readily detected in the culture headspace, volatile antimony compounds were formed irreproducibly and at only ultratrace levels. In order to monitor the media for nonvolatile methylantimony compounds, a method of sample preparation was developed, based on solid-phase extraction. This enabled the separation of large quantities of soluble inorganic antimony species from trace amounts of organoantimony compounds before speciation by HG-GC-AAS. By this methodology methylated antimony compounds were detected at concentrations of 0.8- 7.1 µg Sbl-1 in all media in which S. brevicaulis was grown in the presence of antimony(III) compounds. These methylantimony species were not detected in any of the nonliving or medium-only controls. Methylated compounds were not detected where S. brevicaulis was grown in the presence of antimony(V) compounds. This is the first study to show that antimony(III) compounds are biomethylated by S. brevicaulis under aerobic-only growth conditions. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The dynamic wetting behaviour on a perfluorinated, low-energy solid has been investigated for a carbohydrate-modified phenylsiloxane surfactant. The surfactant concentration, the rate of interface generation and the [solid/liquid interface area] : [liquid/vapour interface area] ratio were varied systematically. Dynamic data for the liquid/vapour (γlv) and solid/liquid (γsl) interfacial tension as well as their Lifshitz-van der Waals and donor-acceptor contributions were determined under strictly controlled conditions. Since γsl reacts sensitively to variations of the surfactant concentration and the rate of interface generation, the covering of the liquid/non-polar solid interface is assumed to be a spreading limiting factor. The corresponding γlv values remain constant and close to those obtained under equilibrium conditions. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The transport dynamics of tributyltin (TBT) between the surface microlayer and subsurface water were studied in experimental systems which simulated different surface sea states. A dynamic model was derived from a diffusion equation to describe the dynamics of the TBT transport process. With this dynamic model diffusion coefficients were determined, and the effects of surface sea states and temperature on the TBT transport process between the surface microlayer and subsurface water were also studied. Turbulence, breaking waves and elevated temperature can accelerate this transport. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A novel technique has been developed for the determination of trace amounts of methylmercury in various sample matrices. The newly developed HPLC method makes it possible to separate methylmercury and inorganic mercury with ultrasonic nebulization and detection by ICP MS for different mercury isotopic masses. The isotope-specific detection allows the application of the species-specific isotope addition method for the determination of methylmercury with a correction for artifact formation. The well-known water-vapour distillation method was used in combination with an enriched stable inorganic mercury isotope (200Hg2+) for the separation of methylmercury from various matrices. The subsequent determination of CH3 - 200Hg+ generated from 200Hg2+ was used in the correction for artifact formation during sample preparation. In comparison with a previously developed HPLC coupling technique with HPF-HHPN (high-performance flow/­hydraulic high-pressure nebulization), the stability of the detection procedure was improved considerably. The limit of detection (S/N = 3) for methylmercury was calculated to be about 0.015 μg kg-1. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: An analytical method is described for methylmercury determination in fish and aqueous samples using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) followed by gas chromatography-atomic fluorescence spectrometry (GC-AFS). The procedure involves aqueous-phase derivatization of methylmercury species with sodium tetraethylborate in a sample vial and subsequent extraction with a silica fiber coated with poly-­(dimethylsiloxane). The mercury derivatives are desorbed in the splitless injection port of a gas chromatograph and subsequently analyzed by GC-AFS. The headspace SPME procedure is used and parameters affecting the extraction, adsorption and desorption are evaluated. Results for methylmercury analysis in standard reference material (DORM-2) and fish samples are presented. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The macromolecular substitution approach for the synthesis of polyphosphazenes provides access to many different polymers. However, it precludes the use of reagents that contain two or more functional groups because such compounds would cause extensive crosslinking of the chains. This presents a problem because many of the uses for which polyphosphazenes seem ideally suited require the presence of -OH, -COOH, -NH2, -SO3H, -PR2 and other functional units in the side-chain structure. We have developed two approaches to introduce such active sites: (1) protection-deprotection reactions; and (2) direct reactions of active reagents with the organic side-groups of non-functional poly(organophosphazenes). These methods have been applied both at the molecular level and in the form of reactions carried out only at polymer surfaces. The resultant polymers have special properties that are valuable in the micro-encapsulation of sensitive biological agents; in the formation of hydrophobic, hydrophilic, or adhesive surfaces; in crosslinking reactions; and in the development of solid polymer electrolytes, bio-erodible polymers, pH-triggered hydrogels, polymer blends and interpenetrating polymer networks. Overall, more than 700 different polyphosphazenes are now known, and a large number of these are functional macromolecules targeted for specific property combinations and uses. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A diverse and entirely new class of monomer and polymer technology based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) reagents has been developed. POSS reagents are unique in that they are physically large (approx. 15 Å diameter and 1000 amu) and are composed of a robust silicon-oxygen framework that can be easily functionalized with a variety of organic substituents. Appropriate functionalization of POSS cages allows for their incorporation into traditional thermoplastic resins without modification of existing manufacturing processes. The incorporation of POSS segments into linear copolymer systems results in increased glass transition and decomposition temperatures, increased oxygen permeability and reduced flammability and heat evolution, as well as modified mechanical properties relative to conventional organic systems. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Organophosphazenes with a similar mesogenic moiety were prepared and their mesogenicity was studied by differential scanning calorinetry (DSC) measurements and polarizing microsope observations. In cyclotriphosphazenes with alk-­oxybiphenyl and Schiff base moieties, mesomorphic phase transitions were observed, but no mesomorphic phase was observed for the corresponding cyclotetraphosphazenes. In polyphos-­phazenes with an alkoxybiphenyl moiety, no mesomorphic phase was observed. The molecular structure of cyclotriphosphazenes facilitated the formation of a mesomorphic layer structure; in contrast, the formation of a mesomorphic layer structure did not occur in cyclotetraphosphazenes and polyphosphazenes, even though they bore a similar mesogenic moiety. Moreover, in cyclotriphosphazenes with an optically active alkoxybiphenyl group, a smectic C* phase was observed. The spontaneous polarization of the compound was -190 μ C m-2 at 436 K in 25 μ in cell using the triangular-wave method. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Poly(arylene ether) main-chain phosphonium ionomers were successfully synthesized and characterized. The reaction scheme involved first preparing the poly(arylene ether phosphine oxide) by a nucleophilic step or condensation polymerization of bisphenolates on activated aryl halides, wherein phenyl phosphine oxide was the activating group. High-molecular-weight, tough, film-forming polymers were produced with glass transition temperatures of 200°C or higher. The resulting materials were successfully reduced using phenylsilane in refluxing chlorobenzene. The derived phosphine or phosphine/phosphine oxide copolymer was reacted with alkyl halides to produce the phosphonium salts. The resulting materials showed enhanced hydrophilicity and in some cases could be successfully dispersed in water. In addition, chromophores such as Methyl Orange and Methyl Red were combined with the backbone ionomer to produce new film-forming, ionically linked species. The materials are of general interest for situations where water-dispersible intermediates, e.g. coatings, fiber sizings etc. are required. The phosphonium salts can be converted back to the phosphine oxide in fairly high yields by simple thermal methods and in quantitative yield by chemical methods (e.g. the Wittig reaction). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Our recent work directed at the design, synthesis, characterization and applications of new types of polyborazylene and polyborosilazane polymers is reviewed with a focus on the use of these polymers as processable precursors to BN and SiNCB composites. A design strategy based on the controlled functionalization of preformed polymers with pendant groups of suitable compositions and crosslinking properties has been employed to yield second-generation dipentylamine-polyborazylene (DPA) and pinacolborane-hydridopolysilazane (PIN-HPZ) polymers, which, unlike the parent polyborazylene (PB) and the borazine-hydridopolysilazane (B-HPZ) polymers, are stable as melts and can be easily melt-spun into polymer fibers. Subsequent pyrolyses of these polymer fibers then provide excellent routes to BN and SiNCB ceramic fibers. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Samples of the edible mushroom Laccaria amethystina, which is known to accumulate arsenic, were collected from two uncontaminated beech forests and an arsenic-contaminated one in Denmark. The total arsenic concentration was 23 and 77 μg  As g-1 (dry weight) in the two uncontaminated samples and 1420 μg As g-1 in the contaminated sample. The arsenic species were liberated from the samples using focused microwave-assisted extraction, and were separated and detected by anion- and cation-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer as arsenic-selective detector. Dimethylarsinic acid accounted for 68-74%, methylarsonic acid for 0.3-2.9%, trimethylarsine oxide for 0.6-2.0% and arsenic acid for 0.1-6.1% of the total arsenic. The unextractable fraction of arsenic ranged between 15 and 32%. The results also showed that when growing in the highly arsenate-contaminated soil (500-800 μg As g-1) the mushrooms or their associated bacteria were able to biosynthesize dimethylarsinic acid from arsinic acid in the soil. Furthermore, arsenobetaine and trimethylarsine oxide were detected for the first time in Laccaria amethystina. Additionally, unidentified arsenic species were detected in the mushroom. The finding of arsenobetaine and trimethylarsine oxide in low amounts in the mushrooms showed that synthesis of this arsenical in nature is not restricted to marine biota. In order to minimize the toxicological risk of arsenic to humans it is recommended not to consume Laccaria amethystina mushrooms collected from the highly contaminated soil, because of a genotoxic effect of dimethylarsinic acid observed at high doses in animal experiments. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.No Abstract.

    Notes: During the synthesis of ZnS powders by wet chemical precipitation, the formation of nanoporous spheres is observed. The powders have been investigated using thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction and optical spectroscopies. Nanopore formation can be explained by several stages of growth. The formation of nanoparticles as primary particles is followed by their agglomeration forming secondary particles. These secondary particles are monodispersed spheres with a considerable porosity, because the agglomeration of the nanoparticles is unlikely to be volume-filling. The voids or nanopores formed by this agglomeration process in the secondary particles is estimated to comprise around 35% of the sphere volume. They are mainly filled with water and the residues of the chemical reagents. Water in the pores partially reacts with ZnS and forms hydrated sulphates. The chemical reagents used for the precipitation reactions are also found to be bound to the nanocrystallite's surfaces as ligands in some cases. Depending on the reaction conditions and reagents, the agglomeration of the nanoparticles can also be modified or hindered by the use of complexing agents acting as a sterically stabilizing surface layer on the nanocrystallites. The agglomeration of nanoparticles to larger units being a general phenomenon, this use of complexing agents to control pore formation and agglomerate size should be applicable to other nanocrystalline systems. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The magnetic properties of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles of different shapes (spherical, rhombohedral and acicular), prepared as powders by a chemical route, have been investigated. The particle size effect on the Morin transition (TM = 263 K in the bulk system) have been studied by analyzing the temperature dependence of the zero-field-cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) magnetization. For spherical (average diameter between 10 and 50 nm) and rhombohedral (edge between 30 and 350 nm) particles, the Morin temperature was found to decrease with decreasing particle size and increasing magnetic field. On the other hand, acicular particles (major axis between 300 and 700 nm, minor axis between 70 and 100 nm) do not show the Morin transition, unless annealed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Silicon nanoparticles have been synthesized by heating reactant gases with a 500 W CO2 laser. A technique based on scattering of He-Ne laser light by particulates in a reaction flame has been developed for probing the particle size evolution during the process, in order to scale down the particle diameter (under 10 nm). The optical and structural properties of laser-synthesized silicon nanopowders obtained in different runs are reported. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The influence of molecular adsorbate layers on surface plasmon excitation in small supported metal particles has been investigated and exploited to study adsorption reactions on their surfaces. For this purpose sodium nanoclusters on quartz and LiF substrates served as model systems. Their optical transmission spectra are dominated by two maxima which are due to the excitation of surface plasmon resonances in the direction of the long and short axes of the oblate particles. By recording the spectra under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions and, subsequently, after exposure to gases such as O2, N2O, CO2, H2 and N2, changes in the optical spectra can be identified if the clusters are covered by as little as half a molecular monolayer. Depending on the adsorbed molecules, different modifications of the maximum position, the width and the amplitude of the surface plasmon resonances are observed. The results of a series of measurements together with calculations using the quasi-static approximation indicate that the variations in the spectra allow one to distinguish between physisorption and chemisorption, i.e. to characterize the strength of the chemical bond. In addition, diffusion of the molecules into the bulk of the particles can be detected. Particularly interesting is the observation that the clusters can experience a change in their shape if gases such as O2 or CO2 react with their surface. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Three different examples have shown that nanoporous alumina membranes serve as ideal templates for the formation of nanostructured materials and also as a support of those materials in composites. The unique properties of such membranes (transparency, chemical resistivity, thermal stability, adjustable pore sizes etc.) and the very simple mode of generating these composites are the benefits of using this inorganic template material.
