TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the improvement of a manufacturing site's safety performance that can be attributed, in part, to the successful implementation of a mandated behavior-based safety (BBS) program.
Abstract: This article describes the improvement of a manufacturing site's safety performance that can be attributed, in part, to the successful implementation of a mandated behavior-based safety (BBS) program. As has been discussed in prior articles, improving operating discipline (improving the conduct of operations) will contribute to reducing process safety, health and environmental risks. The BBS program implementation, with its expectation that each employee complete and submit at least one safety observation a month, coincided with several other significant safety initiatives. These other initiatives required employee involvement from all levels of the organization, including implementing process safety management elements, implementing the site's “principles of operation,” and performing daily job safety analyses. This article will describe how the site's BBS observation program has evolved over the last decade, how several human-related issues were overcome, and provides specific examples of some of the changes implemented as a result of the observations. In conclusion, this article shows how direct management involvement and support and increased personnel involvement has improved safety awareness, knowledge, and commitment to help reduce manufacturing risks. “You can observe a lot just by watching.”—Yogi Berra © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog, 2010

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the detection of leaks in bag filter apparatus is disclosed wherein there is employed a leak tracer composition comprising a gaseous dispersion of a very light, sub-micron particulate contrast medium.
Abstract: A method for the detection of leaks in bag filter apparatus is disclosed wherein there is employed a leak tracer composition comprising a gaseous dispersion of a very light, sub-micron particulate contrast medium. The tracer composition is flowed through the bag filter apparatus and leaks are detected by visual inspection of the filtration elements from the exhaust side thereof.

TL;DR: In this article, foamable EPDM compositions are presented for use in applications where UHF microwave curing is utilized and for replacing conventional blends of carbon blacks, which have advantageously lower sponge density and lower sponge compression set.
Abstract: Disclosed are foamable EPDM compositions comprising EPDM, a carbon black having a CTAB of about 50 to 60 m2/g and DBP of 90 to 115 cc/100 g and a blowing agent which are advantageous for use in applications where UHF microwave curing is utilized and for replacing foamable EPDM compositions incorporating similar amounts of conventional blends of carbon blacks. Also disclosed are foamed, cured EPDM compositions comprising: EPDM and a carbon black having a CTAB of about 50 to 60 m2/g and DBP of 90 to 115 cc/100 g which have advantageously lower sponge density and lower sponge compression set than EPDM compositions incorporating similar amounts of conventional low reinforcing carbon blacks. Further disclosed is a process for producing the foamed, cured EPDM compositions of the present invention. Additionally disclosed is use of the foamed, cured EPDM compositions of the present invention as weatherstripping.

TL;DR: In this article, Alloy scrap containing refractory metals such as chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, niobium and tantalum is treated to partition the refractive metal values from the base metal values without an energy intensive remelting step.
Abstract: Alloy scrap containing refractory metals such as chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, niobium and tantalum and base metals such as nickel, cobalt, copper and iron are treated to partition the refractory metal values from the base metal values without an energy intensive remelting step. The scrap in finely divided form is calcined in the presence of an oxygen containing gas and a member of a certain group of alkali metal salts at a temperature in the range of 800° C. to 1150° C. for 1/4 hour to four hours. This treatment converts the refractory metals to alkali metal molybdates, tungstates, chromates, vanadates, niobates and tantalates and the base metals to oxides. The calcined product may then be water leached to produce a substantially base metal-free liquor rich in refractory metal values. Both the refractory and the base metal values may be subsequently recovered by conventional hydrometallurgical techniques.
