Safe, efficient handling of acids

Article Abstract:

Safe and efficient storage and handling of acids will help save money and time and avoid accidents. Phosphoric, nitric, hydrochloric, hydrofluoric and hydrobromic acids are highly corrosive. Thus, they are regarded as the hardest-to-handle raw materials in the chemical process industries. For safe and efficient handling and storage of acids, manufacturers should have an extensive knowledge of suitable materials for construction of pumps, piping, tanks and other equipment, as well as health and safety guidelines concerning different and specific types of acids.

Electrochemistry improves hydrogen handling

Article Abstract:

Researchers at Yokohama National University in Japan have found a cost- effective process for converting hydrogen and methyl formate to methanol. This process is important because it is thought that methanol is a safer alternative to transporting H2 instead of liquefaction. The process employs an electrochemical cell with platinum electrodes separated by a Nafion membrane. Water is electrolyzed at the cathode, producing H2 that reacts with the methyl formate.
