Oil is in the various fractions through a distillation of the oil refinery. After separation, these fractions are further refined into other products, asphalt, paraffin, gasoline, naphtha, lubricating oil, kerosene and diesel. Since asphalt is the base or components of heavy oil, but do not boil or evaporate during the distillation. Asphalt is essentially the heavy residue of oil refining.
Distilling the Raw --
1 The process begins with the refining of crude oil pipelines from a memory in a heat exchanger or tube heater, where the temperature is very fast for the first distillation. It then enters an atmospheric distillation tower where the lighter and more volatile components, or fractions, vaporize and are made through a series of condensers and coolers. It is then separated for further refining into gasoline (known as the "light" distillate), kerosene (known as the "medium" distillate), diesel (known as the "heavy" distillate), and many other useful petroleum products.
The heavy residue from this process is called atmospheric distillation of crude oil peak. These raw peak can be used for fuel or further processed into other products like asphalt. Vacuum distillation removed enough high boiling fractions yield what is called a "straight run" asphalt. However, if the peak oil enough low volatile components which are not economically removed through distillation, solvent extraction, also known as a solvent deasphalting may be required to asphalt cement of the desired consistency.
Cutting back
May 2 next asphalt are mixed or "cut" with a volatile substance in a product that is soft and workable at a lower temperature than pure asphalt cement. If the cut-back asphalt for paving or construction, the volatile element evaporates when the air or heat, leaving the hard asphalt cement. The relative speed of evaporation or volatility of the cutting process, the agent determines whether a reduction of asphalt is considered slow, medium or fast cure. Heated asphalt cement is mixed with asphalt concrete residual oil from the previous distillation for a slow-curing asphalt, with kerosene for medium-healing, and with gasoline and naphtha for the rapid curing asphalt.
Emulsifying
3 The asphalt cement may also be emulsified to a liquid that is easily pumped through tubes, mixed with aggregate, or sprayed through nozzles. To emulsify, the asphalt cement globules in the bottom 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. micrometers and smaller (one micrometer is a millionth of a meter). This is mixed with water. An emulsifier, which is the tendency of the asphalt and water to separate. The emulsifier may be colloidal clay, soluble or insoluble silicates, soap, sulphonated or vegetable oils.
Pulverizers
4 asphalt can also be pulverized to a powder form of asphalt. The asphalt is crushed and a series of fine mesh sieves to ensure uniform size of the granules. Powered asphalt can be mixed with road oil and aggregate for pavement construction. The heat and pressure in the street slowly connects the powder with the aggregate and binding oil, and the substance hardens to a consistency similar to regular asphalt cement.
Air bubbles
5 When the asphalt is for a purpose other than plaster, such as roofing, pipe coating, or as undersealant or water-proofing material, the asphalt may be oxidized, or air blown. This process creates a soft material that at a higher temperature than paving asphalts. There may be air in the refinery, at an asphalt plant, or a roofing material plant. The asphalt has a temperature of 500 ° F (260 ° C). Then air is bubbled through it for one to 4.5 hours. When cooled, the asphalt remains liquid.
Asphalt Paving Mixtures
Since asphalt cement is an important part in paving the road, the following is a brief description, such as asphalt paving mixtures are produced. Asphalt paving mixtures prepared with asphalt cement are usually at an asphalt mixing plant. There are two types of asphalt mixes: hot-and cold-mix-mix. Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) is often used during cold-mix asphalt (usually mixed with emulsified or cut-back asphalts) is usually used for light to medium traffic secondary roads, or for remote locations or at the maintenance use. Hot-mix asphalt is a mixture of suitable aggregate coated with asphalt cement. The term "hot mix" comes from the process of heating the aggregate and asphalt before mixing to remove moisture from the sum sufficient to maintain and fluidity of the asphalt cement for proper mixing and work-ability.
6 and a total asphalt cement in a mixer, where they are heated, proportioned and mixed to produce the desired paving mixture. Hot-mix may be permanently located (also called "stationary" facilities), or it may be portable and job to job. Hot-mix plants can be either as a batch plant or a drum-mix plant, which can be either stationary or mobile. Batch-type hot-mixing facilities different size fractions of hot aggregate, are in proportional amounts from storage containers, a lot of mixing. The combination of aggregates is dumped into a mixing chamber as pugmill. The asphalt, which was also weighed, then thoroughly mixed with the total in the pugmill. After mixing, the material is then discharged from the pugmill in trucks, silos, or surge bins walls. The drum-mixing process heats and blends the amount of asphalt all at the same time in the drum mixer.
7 When the mixture is hot mixture is then applied to the patch site, and the diffusion in a partially compacted layer at a uniform, smooth surface with a paving machine. While still hot, the soil mixture is compacted by heavy rolling machines to a smooth pavement surface.

* Methylphenidate poisoning
2/26/2009
Background methylphenidate methylphenidate is a Schedule II controlled substances for the treatment of ADHD and narcolepsy. There has also been used unlabeled in the treatment of depression and increase the therapeutic effect of opiates pharmacology, it is postulated that the mechanism of methylphenidate measure the increase of dopamine by blocking the dopamine transporter. Modulation of norepinephrine may also play a role. Effects of overdose The manifestations of methylphenidate toxicity are consistent with the typical sympathomimetics. Effects are present in varying degrees of psychiatric or neurological effects (eg headache, CNS excitation or depression, abnormal movements or rigidity, changes in mood or ...
* Subchronic and chronic toxicity
2/26/2009
The acute toxicity, which is lethal dose to 50 percent of the animals over a given route of exposure, but does not determine what dose is no unreasonable risk. This provision is supported by the observed effects on examining a series of dose and duration of time. Subchronic studies last for a few weeks to months (~ 10 percent of the normal life of the test animal), and chronic studies can be a period of one year or more (the expected life of the test animal). Routes of exposure are identical to those of acute testing programs (oral, dermal, inhalation). ...
* Acute toxicity
2/26/2009
Acute toxicity studies evaluating the risk from exposure to a substance, usually at a high dose. Acute oral and dermal toxicity are often designed to improve the effectiveness of a substance in relation to a median lethal dose or LD50. The LD50 is the dose which kills 50 percent of the animals in the laboratory test. The higher the LD50 value, the lower the toxicity. Dose is expressed as milligrams of test substance per kilogram of body weight of the studied animals (mg / kg body weight). Laboratory studies show that glyphosate has acute oral rat ...

Acrylic-plastic production with highly toxic substances, careful storage, handling and disposal. The polymerization may cause an explosion if not properly monitored. It also produces toxic fumes. Recent legislation requires that the polymerization procedures are carried out in a closed environment and to clean the exhaust, to capture or otherwise neutralized before discharge into the atmosphere. Acrylic plastic is not easy to recycle. It is considered a group 7 plastic among recycled plastics and is not collected for recycling in most municipalities. Large pieces can be reformed into other useful objects if they are not suffered ...
* The impact of alcohol in a Nutshell
3/2/2009
The pharmacodynamic properties of alcohol classify it as a central nervous system depressant. Alcohol effects are dose-related.The more alcohol consumed the greater its effect. Alcohol affects the perception of (the knowledge, thinking, learning and assessment), and psychomotor skills (voluntary movement). Alcohol affects the first newly developed parts of the brain responsible for decision-making, inhibition, personality, mental and emotional states. How AC increases, the impairment of psychomotor functions such as muscle coordination, balance, eye movements, etc. increased. How AC continues to increase, involuntary movements, such as breathing, is affected, leading to coma or death. Much ...
* Interpretation of the results of alcohol
2/23/2009
By Patrick Harding, Toxicology Section Supervisor Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene of alcohol is a legal drug that is easily accessible, widespread and often abused, with a well-documented Drivers correlation between alcohol consumption and traffic crashes. Most people have an idea of the pharmacology and toxicology of alcohol from their own experience or observation of others. Unfortunately, this leads to misconceptions about how alcohol is absorbed by the body (pharmacokinetics) and how it affects the body (pharmacodynamics). Most people have an idea of how a "drunk" person behaves without any impairment of the driver may not appear "drunk". ...
* Genetic Toxicology
2/22/2009
Genetic toxicology is the study of how a chemical on the genetic material of a cell. It is available in two ways: • One is by visual inspection through a microscope, the damage to whole chromosomes. Damage at this level is seen as damage or chromosomal aberrations. • The second is to determine the damage to the genes (DNA sequences), which is too small, under the microscope. Damage to genetic material in the chromosomes is called a gene mutation. The body often can repair genetic damage, but unrepariert damage can lead to mutation. In ...
* Pesticide toxicity and toxicity characterized
2/22/2009
The effects of a pesticide, depending on the duration of exposure: • acute (short-term exposure, a single claim or multiple claims within a very short time) • subchronic (intermediate-term exposure, repeated exposure over a longer period) • chronic (long-term exposure , repeated exposure over a very long time) for many pesticides, the response to acute exposure can be very different than the response to subchronic or chronic exposure, ie, a dose once in May evoke little or no response, while several claims ( at the same dose) over a mean or might be a long time ...
* Pesticides Absorption
2/22/2009
Pesticides can the human body through the skin (dermal exposure), mouth (oral exposure) and lung (respiratory exposure). The site of exposure to pesticides, the impact on the speed of absorption into the bloodstream, as well as their distribution patterns. The skin is a natural barrier to many pesticides, but penetration can occur, especially if the skin through cuts and abrasions. Each region of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, colon, rectum and has its own internal environment that dramatically affects the absorption of a pesticide. Some compounds readily in the mouth, while others are absorbed ...
