Book Description
This book introduces beryllium; its history, its chemical, mechanical, and physical properties including nuclear properties. The 29 chapters include the mineralogy of beryllium and the preferred global sources of ore bodies. The identification and specifics of the industrial metallurgical processes used to form oxide from the ore and then metal from the oxide are thoroughly described. The special features of beryllium chemistry are introduced, including analytical chemical practices. Beryllium compounds of industrial interest are identified and discussed. Alloying, casting, powder processing, forming, metal removal, joining and other manufacturing processes are covered. The effect of composition and process on the mechanical and physical properties of beryllium alloys assists the reader in material selection. The physical metallurgy chapter brings conformity between chemical and physical metallurgical processing of beryllium, metal, alloys, and compounds. The environmental degradation of beryllium and its alloys both in aqueous and high temperature condition are presented. The health and environmental issues are thoroughly presented the current requirements and established practices for handling beryllium in the workplace are available. A thorough list of references will assist the user of this book.

Book Description
Results of long-term studies on rats and rabbits, injected intratracheally with well-characterized key samples of beryllium oxide prepared by calcining beryllium hydroxide for 10 hours at 500, 1100 and 1600 C, respectively, show clearly that there is a definite gradation in biological response depending upon the oxide administered. Thus, the oxide calcined at 500 C was highly active as judged by histopathological examination of the lungs, incidence of tumors, and translocation of beryllium from the lungs to other tissues. In contrast, the oxide calcined at 1600 C showed only minimal effects. Dose-response studies were carried out, using carefully prepared subsamples of 'respirable particle size' (1 to 5 microns) of the three key oxides; results showed a definite gradation in response which diminishes with decreasing dosages of the administered oxide. Investigations on motor exhaust products show that some samples have chemical, physical, and toxicological properties similar to the beryllium oxide calcined at 1600 C. On the other hand, other samples are heterogeneous, contain considerable quantities of water-soluble beryllium, and vary in toxicity. The mechanism of toxic action of beryllium oxide was investigated through study of chemical and physical properties, solubility and adsorption studies, serum electrophoretic analyses, and immunological experiments. Suggestions are made for further studies. (Author).
