Processes in Inorganic Chemicals Industries

1 ACTIVITIES INCLUDED This chapter covers emissions released from nitric acid production plants, whereby all process steps are taken into account. The contribution of emissions released from nitric acid plants to the total emissions in the countries of the CORINAIR90 inventory is given as follows: Table 1: Contribution to total emissions of the CORINAIR90 inventory (28 countries) S So ou ur rc ...

BIOREFINE Recycling inorganic chemicals from agro- and bio-industrial waste streams

Mortality of workers potentially exposed to organic and inorganic brominated chemicals, DBCP, TRIS, PBB, and DDT.

A historical prospective mortality study was conducted on 3579 white male workers employed between 1935 and 1976 with potential exposures to brominated compounds including 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), Tris (2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), various organic and inorganic bromides, and DDT. The vital status as of 31 December 1976 was determined for 3384 (95%) of...

Increased mortality from infectious pneumonia after occupational exposure to inorganic dust, metal fumes and chemicals.

OBJECTIVES There are epidemiological studies indicating that exposure to metal fumes is a risk factor for infectious pneumonia. Whether occupational exposure to other agents, such as inorganic dust or chemicals, also increases the risk for infectious pneumonia is not clear. The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether occupational exposure to respiratory pollutants and irritants increa...

Functionalized inorganic monolithic microreactors for high productivity in fine chemicals catalytic synthesis.

Highly productive: Grafted monolith silica skeleton microreactors process bulky molecules more efficiently than a batch mode reactor. This efficiency is due to a higher contact area, shorter diffusion path, and lower inhibition by products in the thin monolith skeleton. These materials provide a new approach in the field of heterogeneous catalysis for the synthesis of fine chemicals.
