Raising the standards_How nickel-containing stainless steel make food safer

How nickel-containing stainless steel make food safer

The FDA considered this Listeriosis outbreak to be “yet another reason to fully implement the Food Safety Modernization Act” (FSMA) which was signed into law on January 4, 2011. The Act aims to ensure the US food supply is safe by shifting the focus of federal regulators from responding to contamination to preventing it, and provides the FDA with the authority to require preventive controls across the food supply chain; perform inspections and ensure compliance; recall contaminated food and ensure imported foods meet US standards.

Are these standards met in the EU.? 

The arguements are well illustrated in the Ni-Institute News Letter under the following 3 paragraphe headed as follows:

The full letter may be consulted at the link beleow. 

Raising the standards:

"A fifth of all nickel production is destined for food contact materials, primarily stainless steel, which because of its outstanding properties meets the stringent requirements of the industry. To ensure that food is completely safe, standards and guidelines for equipment must be adhered to. Yet there are many different standards, by different organizations, in different countries, with different approaches, even if they have the same ultimate goal. Some standards are mandatory, others are voluntary, and they are regularly updated to address new concerns."

-Need for standards Explained.

-A stainless steel for every application.

-Not just clean and shiny.

Loads of free peer reviewed material Sage Publications, all disciplines,NB. Management & Materials Related: Quick Browse Sage's extensive library,

LINK to Sage Publications: 

Sages offer is so exhaustive that no more needs to be said, best to browse individually or in groups.

I opened my alert to a couple of management journals. 

After downloading a few peer reviewed papers I then felt drawn to browse the extensive catelogue of online materials, well organized alphabetically and selected a few more Journals in some of my technical interests...

Typically Materials Science and Engineering and Similar Jornals Engineering Environment etc

Cheers to SAGE and I hope my readers will make good use of these materials...."good and peaceful use in a true "wedge-a-war" sense so much required in our time.

ENJOY.

Celox Oxygen Activity probe

Readers of my recent post:

"Optimizing deoxidation and desuIphurization during vacuum induction melting of alloy 718"

full paper free to members of IOM3,UK is now online and freely available to members of IOM3.

Readers new to Superalloys and steel cleanness via Sulphur & Oxygen removal may also wish to read about Oxygen Activity Mesurement probes. The one I am particularily familiar with is the Celox Oxygen Activity probe. In many ways our/my introduction and systematic use of the Celox probe in the production process, undoubtably added credibility to the companies product,

The Celox Oxygen Activity Measurement Probe

Comments or requests for information on Oxygen Activity Measurement  and related are most welcome.

Cheers & Enjoy

CRITICAL -STRATEGIC MATERIAL ISSUES ADDRESSED: Critical Materials Institute announces partnership with Rio Tinto from EurekAlert! Sci News

CRITICAL -STRATEGIC MATERIAL ISSUES ADDRESSED

Critical Materials Institute announces partnership with Rio Tinto "


The Critical Materials Institute (CMI) & Rio Tinto, a mining and metals company.

"The Critical Materials Institute (CMI) - a U.S. Department of Energy Innovation Hub led by the Ames Laboratory - announced today an important new research initiative in partnership with Rio Tinto, a mining and metals company. The new initiative aims to ensure that the United States fully leverages domestic mineral and metal resources necessary for global leadership in clean energy manufacturing.

The Rio Tinto-CMI research partnership will combine Rio Tinto's operational expertise with CMI's research capabilities, materials science expertise and computing power. Focused on the efficient extraction of critical materials from the copper smelting process, the research will have three core work-streams:

MATERIALS & AIMS 

1. Improving recovery rates of critical minerals and metals (rhenium, selenium, tellurium, scandium, etc.) from samples sourced from Rio Tinto's operating Kennecott Copper Mine in Utah and the Resolution Copper project currently under regulatory review and permitting in Arizona.

2. Exploring potential for increasing recovery rates of rare minerals and metals through processing waste tailings.

3. Examining process improvements that would facilitate the blending of processed electronic waste ('e-waste') with copper concentrates to substantially increase the recovery of valuable metals such as gold, copper, silver, platinum, lithium and rare earths present in spent cellphones, computers and solar panels.
