hazardous chemicalsss Flashcards
A chemical is considered hazardous if it can what
negatively affect the health of people or the environment.
TRUE OR FALSE: Many chemicals used at home or on the job can be safety and/or health hazards if they are handled, use, and disposed properly.
FALSE, if they are not handled, use and disposed properly
This chemical can cause cancer
Carcinogens
chemical that can cause damage to a fetus
Teratogens
can be lethal in high enough dosage/concentration
Toxins
cause visible destruction of living tissue at the site of contact.
corrosives

NFPA hazard rating diamond.
unique numeric identifier code assigned to a substance when it enters the CAS Registry database.
Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registry Number
– any organic or inorganic substances or a particular molecular identity, excluding radioactive materials, but including any element or uncombined chemical; and any combination of such substance occurring in whole or in part as a result of chemical reaction or occurring in nature.
Chemical Substance
any bottle, box, drum, cylinder, bag, barrel, vessel, tank, among others, that contains hazardous chemical substances and mixtures.
container
– a system fo standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. It is a logical and comprehensive approach
GHS
the internet characteristics of chemical substances and mixtures that are existing in the workplace and in the environment, regardless of quantity that are potentially dangerous or which have the capacity to harm
hazards
– an appropriate group of written, printed, or graphic information elements concerning a hazardous product, selected as relevant to the target sectors, that is affixed to printed on or attached to the immediate container of a hazardous product, or to the outside packaging of a hazardous product.
label
a document prepared by the manufacturer that contains important physical characteristics, ecological, health, safety and toxicological information on chemical substances or mixtures, or ingredients used at the workplace, transported and utilized by consumer.
safety data sheet
– substances or mixtures that are harmful to the environment and/or to human health on short or long term bases if inhaled, swallowed, absorbed through skin.

safety data sheets
The substances which are used to remove friction between two or more moving surfaces is known as
Lubricant.
The word “Lubricant” derive from the Latin word lubricus which means
slippery
lubricants may be defined as a substance which is introduced between the moving part of machinery and make the surface slippery and reduce what
friction
Hence, lubricants may be defined as a substance which is introduced between the moving part of machinery and make the surface slippery and reduce friction, eliminates asperities and prevent cohesion. The phenomenon is known as
lubrication
TRIVIA:
CHARACTERISTICS of GOOD Lubricating Oil:
1. High Boiling point
2. Adequate viscosity
3. Low freezing point
4. High resistance to oxidation
5. Non-corrosive properties
6. Good thermal stability
reduce friction and wear between two moving metallic surfaces by providing a continuous fluid film in between the surfaces.
lubricating oils
is a semi solid lubricant obtained by thickening lubricating oil through the addition of a metallic soap
grease
these are used where the operating temperature and load is too high.
solid lubricants
In boundary lubrication we use this lubrication. They are used either in dry powder form or mixed with oil or water.
Solid Lubricants
Grease is a semi solid lubricant obtained by thickening lubricating oil through the addition of a
Metallic Soap
TRIVIA: Lubricants are solid in state and these are used where the operating temperature and load is too high.
TRIVIA: Combustible lubricants must be avoided. Graphite and Molybdeum disulphide are the widely used solid lubricants.
These are extracted from the crude fat by a process called “rendering”
Animal fats and oils.
by a process called “what?” in which the enclosing tissue is broken by treatment with steam or with the combined action of steam and water
rendering
these are obtained by crushing the seed.
Vegetables oils
They are lower molecular weight hydrocarbons with 12 to 50 carbon atoms. They are obtained during distillation of petroleum
mineral oils
They are cheap, available in abundance and are stable under service conditions. Therefore, they are widely used. They have less oiliness.
mineral oils
TRIVIA: the substance like oleic acid, stearic acid is adding to increase the oiliness of mineral oils
this purification process involves mixing the oil with proper volume of a suitable solvent and refrigerating the mixture to the required temperature when the wax in the oil precipitates out. The oil and wax are separated using continuous filters or centrifuge. The oil is separated from the solvent by distillation.
dewaxing
in dewaxing The oil and wax are separated using continuous filters or .
centrifuge
TRIVIA: the oil is separated from the solvent by what process.
distillation
