Characterization of Unknown Chemicals
This one day Workshop Provides Participants With Strategies and Techniques To Successfully Characterize Unknown Chemicals through observation, research, testing, and presumptive analysis.
Simple techniques are presented that both enhance safety but also assist in the identification of unknown chemicals and components, especially when combined with FTIR and Raman spectroscopy.
They include:
- A thorough review of chemical hazards
- Techniques for field characterization of unknown chemicals
- Flame tests
- Estimating vapor pressure
- What to observe/look for
- Calorimetric tests and observations
- Field portable chemical characterization technologies
- Raman
- FTIR
- HP/MS
- GC/MS
- IMS
- Radiacs
- Chemical analysis papers
- Hands-on exercises
- Culminating exercise
The workshop concludes by incorporating all elements presented into hands-on exercises. Participants work through exercises, each requiring hazard observation, research, hands-on analysis, to determine chemical hazards present.
This workshop is facilitated by HazardID.com subject matter experts with decades of combined education and experience identifying unknown hazards. The workshop is available in-person only.
