he terms “chemical accident” or “chemical incident” refer to an event resulting in the release of a substance or substances hazardous to human health and/or the environment in the short or long term. Such events include fires‚ explosions‚ leakages or releases of toxic or hazardous materials that can cause people illness‚ injury‚ disability or death. While chemical accidents may occur whenever toxic materials are stored‚ transported or used‚ the most severe accidents are industrial accidents‚ involving

A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms that allows the formation of chemical substances that contain two or more atoms. The bond is caused by the electromagnetic force attraction between opposite charges‚ either between electrons and nuclei‚ or as the result of a dipole attraction. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably; there are "strong bonds" such as covalent or ionic bonds and "weak bonds" such as dipole-dipole interactions‚ the London dispersion force and hydrogen bonding

Affecting the Copper Mining Industry As is demonstrated by the chart below‚ the demand for copper has exceeded the supply brought to market since 2009. In 2011‚ 16.5 million tonnes of copper were produced worldwide and this amount is expected to grow by approximately 3% annually. Data from the International Copper Study Group (ICSG) for 2012 suggests that international demand for refined copper is expected to exceed production by about 240‚000 metric tons. The slow growth forecasted in copper supply is

CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM Reversible reactions and dynamic equilibrium Ammonia (NH3) is an important industrial chemical that is used in the manufacture of fertilisers. It is manufactured by reacting hydrogen with nitrogen. The reaction is said to be reversible and the conversion of reactants to products is never complete. N2 + 3H2 2NH3 A reversible reaction is a reaction which can take place in either direction When the concentrations of the reactants and product have become constant‚ a

using physical and chemical properties. Physical properties are characteristics of a substance. Two types of physical properties are quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative is a property that has an amount or can be measured such as hardness‚ solubility‚ and viscosity. Qualitative is a physical description of matter such as color‚ clarity‚ and state. Chemical properties are characteristics of a substance which allows it to behave in a specific manner. A few types of chemical properties are combustibility
