in this research, the effect of nanoclay on physiochemical, thermal and structural properties of urea formaldehyde resin (uf) was investigated. the prepared gluf resin was mixed mechanically with the 0.5, 1 and 1.5% nanoclay for 5 min at room temperature. the physicochemical properties of the prepared resins were measured according to standard methods. also, the thermal and structural changes i...

a chelating resin is prepared by condensation polymerization of aniline with formaldehyde andcharacterized by ft-ir, elemental analysis and studied for the preconcentration and determination of traceplatinum ion from environmental water sample using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy(icp-aes). the optimum ph value for sorption of the metal ions was 5. the maximum adsorption...

this paper reports on formaldehyde exposure and its health hazards in a melamine manufacturing industry. the mean of workers' exposure was measured according to 3500 njosh and was found to be 1.44±o.2l, and 2. 17±o.24 ppm in morning and evening shifts, respectively. for stationary ones it was 1.37±o.20, and 2.06±o.25ppm, respectively. the results show that formaldehyde concentration at the...

Three types of adhesives, urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin, phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin, and polymeric methylene bis(phenyl isocyanate) (pMDI), were used for investigating the effect of pressing variables on volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. The variables examined included press temperature and time, mat moisture content and resin content, and board density. The VOCs emitted during part...

The objective of this project was to use sucrose as a partial substitute for melamine in the synthesis of sucrose–melamine-formaldehyde (SMF) resin. The SMF was synthesized in a base condition. The wet bonding strength, shelf life, and formaldehyde emission of the SMF resin were determined. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and mass spectroscopy (MS) were employed to analyze the c...

This study reports the results of a study aimed at reducing the free formaldehyde content of Phenolformaldehyde resin by using Urea as means for forming a reversible adduct with formaldehyde. The highly volatile formaldehyde has an unpleasant odour and irritates the eyes and nasal passages. The free formaldehyde content (FFC) of the modified resol resin was determined by titration method. With ...

We report the cases of three subjects who developed asthma after being exposed to formaldehyde dust or gas. For two subjects, specific bronchial provocation tests with formaldehyde gas did not cause significant bronchoconstriction, whereas exposure to formaldehyde resin dust did. One subject experienced asthmatic reaction after being exposed to formaldehyde resin dust and gas. These findings su...

This paper reports on formaldehyde exposure and its health hazards in a melamine manufacturing industry. The mean of workers' exposure was measured according to 3500 NJOSH and was found to be 1.44±O.2l, and 2. 17±O.24 ppm in morning and evening shifts, respectively. For stationary ones it was 1.37±O.20, and 2.06±O.25ppm, respectively. The results show that formaldehyde concentration at the...
