Carbon Disulphide Explosion from Heated Corn

Tungsten disulphide sheathed carbon nanotubes.

An insulated nanotube wire is formed by the binary phase of layered tungsten disulphide and carbon nanotubes (shown in the HRTEM image) generated by the sulphidization of tungsten oxide coated multiwalled carbon nanotubes at 900 °C. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the tungsten disulphide coat acts as an antioxidant.

Evaporation and Explosion of Liquid Drops on a Heated Surface

The literature pertinent to various aspects of drop evaporation on a heated surface is reviewed. Both the laser shadowgraphic and direct photographic methods are employed to study thermal stability and flow structures in evaporating drops in all heating regimes. It is revealed that four flow regions exist in stable and unstable type drops at low liquid-film type vaporization regime. As the surf...

Carbon disulphide poisoning in viscose rayon factories.

The manufacture of rayon by the viscose process exposes workers to the hazards of carbon disulphide (CS2) poisoning. When the viscose industry was started the toxicity of carbon disulphide was scarcely known among manufacturers, and the processes used were primitive; this resulted in many cases of CS2 poisoning in all those countries where viscose plants had been established. Since then, techni...

Cardiovascular effects of occupational exposure to carbon disulphide.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of occupational exposure to carbon disulphide (CS2) on the total cholesterol, blood pressure and prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD). A cross-sectional study involving 252 viscose rayon workers and 252 age and sex matched controls was carried out. Depending on the job and specific work place, the CS2 concentrations were between 10...
