Abstract
SUMMARYIn replacing traditionally used solvents for external wipe cleaning applications with newer and more environmentally friendly solvent systems, account has to be taken of their volatility since this has a great bearing on the cost of the cleaning process as well as on occupational health hazards to operatives. To determine the concentrations of solvent vapour which will be produced in the workspace and to make sure that these do not exceed occupational exposure limits, it is necessary to know not only the workspace ventilation conditions but also the source evaporation rate of the solvent used. A study carried out to compare the evaporation rates of the traditional solvents under varying conditions to those of the proposed replacement substances is reported and a detailed discussion given of the usefulness of evaporation models to predict emission rates.
期刊介绍:
Transactions of the Institute of Metal Finishing provides international peer-reviewed coverage of all aspects of surface finishing and surface engineering, from fundamental research to in-service applications. The coverage is principally concerned with the application of surface engineering and coating technologies to enhance the properties of engineering components and assemblies. These techniques include electroplating and electroless plating and their pre- and post-treatments, thus embracing all cleaning pickling and chemical conversion processes, and also complementary processes such as anodising. Increasingly, other processes are becoming important particularly regarding surface profile, texture, opacity, contact integrity, etc.
