Additives barium sulfate

It was pointed out in Section XIII-4A that if the contact angle between a solid particle and two liquid phases is finite, a stable position for the particle is at the liquid-liquid interface. Coalescence is inhibited because it takes work to displace the particle from the interface. In addition, one can account for the type of emulsion that is formed, 0/W or W/O, simply in terms of the contact angle value. As illustrated in Fig. XIV-7, the bulk of the particle will lie in that liquid that most nearly wets it, and by what seems to be a correct application of the early oriented wedge" principle (see Ref. 48), this liquid should then constitute the outer phase. Furthermore, the action of surfactants should be predictable in terms of their effect on the contact angle. This was, indeed, found to be the case in a study by Schulman and Leja [49] on the stabilization of emulsions by barium sulfate. 

These rosin-based sizes, whether paste, Hquid, or emulsions, can be used to size all grades of paper that are produced at acid pH. The latter include bleached or unbleached kraft Hnerboard and bag paper, bleached printing and writing grades, and cylinder board. In addition, polyaluminum compounds have been used in place of alum, most notably, polyaluminum chloride (48), which can reduce barium deposits where these have been a problem. The barium chloride by-product is more water-soluble than barium sulfate. Other polyaluminum compounds such as polyhydroxylated forms of alum and polyaluminum siHcosulfate have been evaluated as alum replacements. 

Chemical precipitation and solvent extraction are the main methods of purifying wet-process acid, although other techniques such as crystallisa tion (8) and ion exchange (qv) have also been used. In the production of sodium phosphates, almost all wet-process acid impurities can be induced to precipitate as the acid is neutralized with sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide. The main exception, sulfate, can be precipitated as calcium or barium sulfate. Most fluorine and siUca can be removed with the sulfate filter cake as sodium fluorosiUcate, Na2SiFg, by the addition of sodium ion and control of the Si/F ratio in the process. 

Most of the heavy-metal impurities present in 2inc salt solutions must be removed before the precipitation reaction, or these form insoluble colored sulfides that reduce the whiteness of the 2inc sulfide pigment. This end is usually achieved by the addition of 2inc metal which reduces most heavy-metal ions to their metallic form. The brightness of 2inc sulfide can be improved by the addition of a small amount of cobalt salts (ca 0.04% on a Co/Zn basis) (20). Barium sulfate [7727-43-7] formed in the first step is isolated and can be used as an extender. 

Because the regions of the alimentary tract vary widely ia pH and chemical composition, many different commercial formulations of barium sulfate are available. The final preparations of varyiag viscosity, density, and formulation stabiUty levels are controlled by the different size, shape, uniformity and concentration of barium sulfate particles and the presence of additives. The most important additives are suspending and dispersiag agents used to maintain the suspension stabiUty. Commercial preparations of barium sulfate iaclude bulk and unit-dose powders and suspensions and principal manufacturers are E-Z-EM (Westbury, New York), Lafayette-Pharmacol, Inc. (Lafayette, Indiana), and Picker International, Inc. (Cleveland, Ohio). 

Paste Mixing. The active materials for both positive and negative plates are made from the identical base materials. Lead oxide, fibers, water, and a dilute solution of sulfuric acid are combined in an agitated batch mixer or reactor to form a pastelike mixture of lead sulfates, the normal, tribasic, and tetrabasic sulfates, plus PbO, water, and free lead. The positive and negative pastes differ only in additives to the base mixture. Organic expanders, barium sulfate [7727-43-7] BaSO carbon, and occasionally mineral oil are added to the negative paste. Red lead [1314-41 -6] or minium, Pb O, is sometimes added to the positive mix. The paste for both electrodes is characterized by cube weight or density, penetration, and raw plate density. 

The formulation of calcium chelate materials is based upon the formation of a low-solubiUty chelate between calcium hydroxide and a sahcylate. Dycal utilizes the reaction product of a polyhydric compound and sahcyhc acid. Other sahcyhc acid esters can be similarly used. Vehicles used to carry the calcium hydroxide, extenders, and fillers may include mineral oil, A/-ethyl- -toluenesulfonamide [80-39-7] and polymeric fluids. The filler additions may include titanium dioxide [13463-67-7] zinc oxide, sihca [7631-86-9], calcium sulfate, and barium sulfate [7727-43-7]. Zinc oxide and barium sulfate are useflil as x-ray opacifying agents to ensure a density greater than that of normal tooth stmcture. Resins, rosin, limed rosins, and modified rosins may serve as modifiers of the physical characteristics in both the unset and set states. 

Radiopaque materials are used to determine the location of aspirated dentures and fragments (205,206). Opacifying additives include barium sulfate, barium fluoride, barium or bismuth glasses, and brominated organic monomers and polymers. The incorporation of these additives into the resin base or tooth can adversely affect physical properties. Radiopaque materials meeting the requirement for ANSI/ADA specifications for denture-base polymer have been described (207). 

The rapid addition of sulfuric acid is made to give finely divided barium sulfate. 

It is convenient to titrate the suspended barium salt with 18 N sulfuric acid (approx. 12-14 ml.) to a pH. of 1.5 using a pH meter. After removal of the barium sulfate the slight excess of sulfate ion may be precipitated using barium chloride solution. The end point is taken when several drops of filtrate show no turbidity either upon addition of sulfuric acid or barium chloride solution. 

As catalyst for the Rosenmund reaction palladium on a support, e.g. palladium on barium sulfate, is most often used. The palladium has to be made less active in order to avoid further reduction of the aldehyde to the corresponding alcohol. Such a poisoned catalyst is obtained for example by the addition of quinoline and sulfur. Recent reports state that the reactivity of the catalyst is determined by the morphology of the palladium surface." ... 

In a study on the influence of supports on rhodium, the amount of dicyclohexylamine was found to decrease in the order carbon > barium carbonate > alumina > barium sulfate > calcium carbonate. Plain carbon added to rhodium-on-alumina-catalyzed reactions was found to cause an increase in the amount of dicyclohexylamine, suggesting that carbon catalyzes the formation of the intermediate addition product (59). 

This solution Is heated to 65°C and barium hydroxide added in quantity sufficient to make the concentration of the barium hydroxide 0.2 mol/liter. The solution is agitated and maintained at 65°C for 6 hours after the addition of the barium hydroxide. It is then cooled and neutralized to a pH of 6.8 with sulfuric acid. The precipitated barium sulfate is filtered out. A quantity of activated supported nickel catalyst containing 5 g of nickel is added. 

Cesium is determined as the tetraphenylborate, total cobalt as the anthranilate, sulfate as barium sulfate, and cobalt(III) by addition of the alum to excess of potassium iodide solution followed by titration with thiosulfate- Anal. Calcd. -for CsCo(S04)2-12H20 Cs, 22.2 Co, 9.82 S04, 32.0. Found Cs, 22.2 Co, 9.83 S04, 32.3 Co(III), 9.80. 

A number of resinated grades are produced in order to provide higher transparency and to optimize other aspects of pigment properties in application. For reasons connected with process engineering, the resin is typically incorporated as a metal (calcium) resinate. In the past, types of P.R.57 1 additionally contained certain amounts of barium sulfate. 

Scratch resistance depends on the hardness of the added particles. The problem of a lack of this property can be addressed by adding chemically identical particles of different crystal modification and Mohs hardness. The preferred additives are silica, alumina, layered silicates such as kaolin, titania, barium sulfate and calcium carbonate. The latter is only suitable for the DMT process owing to side reaction caused by acidity during the terephthalic acid (TPA) route. 

In the above mentioned reaction, platinum oxide and palladium on barium sulfate showed no perceptible change in the rate of hydrogen uptake. On the other hand, platinum oxide was selective in the hydrogenation of cyclohexa-2,4-diene-l,2-dicarboxylic acid to 1,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalic acid140. A similar result may be the favored reduction of a symmetrical disubstituted double bond over a more hindered trisubstituted bond. The retarding effect of additional substitution is demonstrated in the hydrogenation of a trisubstituted double bond in the presence of a tetrasubstituted double bond (equation 53)141. 

Primer Formulations. Coatings were formulated using standard techniques. Mill bases were prepared by dispersing the oligomer solution with pigments (silica, carbon black, titanium dioxide and barium sulfate in a 1 1 1 10 ratio). The viscosity of the formulation was reduced to spray viscosity by addition of solvent. 

In aqueous solution the reactions are those of NH and SO4 ions. For example, addition of barium chloride, BaCb precipitates out barium sulfate, BaS04. The filtrate on evaporation yields ammonium chloride, NH4CI. 

Rubidium alum obtained by either method above is decomposed by treatment with alkali solutions for removal of aluminum and sulfate. Aluminum is precipitated as aluminum hydroxide. Addition of barium hydroxide to the filtrate removes sulfate, precipitating barium sulfate. Evaporation of the solution crystallizes rubidium as hydroxide. 

Rubidium acid salts are usually prepared from rubidium carbonate or hydroxide and the appropriate acid in aqueous solution, followed by precipitation of the crystals or evaporation to dryness. Rubidium sulfate is also prepared by the addition of a hot solution of barium hydroxide to a boiling solution of rubidium alum until all the aluminum is precipitated. The pH of the solution is 7.6 when the reaction is complete. Aluminum hydroxide and barium sulfate are removed by filtration, and rubidium sulfate is obtained by concentration and crystallization from the filtrate. Rubidium aluminum sulfate dodecahydrate [7488-54-2] (alum), RbA SO 12H20, is formed by sulfuric acid leaching of lepidolite ore. Rubidium alum is more soluble than cesium alum and less soluble than the other alkali alums. Fractional crystallization of Rb alum removes K, Na, and Li values, but concentrates the cesium value. Rubidium hydroxide, RbOH, is prepared by the reaction of rubidium sulfate and barium hydroxide in solution. The insoluble barium sulfate is removed by filtration. The solution of rubidium hydroxide can be evaporated partially in pure nickel or silver containers. Rubidium hydroxide is usually supplied as a 50% aqueous solution. Rubidium carbonate, Rb2C03, is readily formed by bubbling carbon dioxide through a solution of rubidium hydroxide, followed by evaporation to dryness in a fluorocarbon container. Other rubidium compounds can be formed in the laboratory by means of anion-exchange techniques. Table 4 lists some properties of common rubidium compounds. 

Sulfate A salt of sulfuric acid formed by the reaction of the acid with carbonates, bases and some metals. It is possible to test for the presence of a sulfate by the addition of dilute hydrochloric add and some barium chloride solution. A white precipitate of barium sulfate is formed if a sulfate is present. 

The raw minerals mined from natural deposits comprise mixtures of different specific minerals. An early step in mineral processing is to use crushing and grinding to free these various minerals from each other. In addition, these same processes may be used to reduce the mineral particle sizes to make them suitable for a subsequent separation process. Non-ferrous metals such as copper, lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, mercury, and antimony are typically produced from mineral ores containing these metals as sulfides (and sometimes as oxides, carbonates, or sulfates) [91,619,620], The respective metal sulfides are usually separated from the raw ores by flotation. Flotation processes are also used to concentrate non-metallic minerals used in other industries, such as calcium fluoride, barium sulfate, sodium and potassium chlorides, sulfur, coal, phosphates, alumina, silicates, and clays [91,619,621], Other examples are listed in Table 10.2, including the recovery of ink in paper recycling (which is discussed in Section 12.5.2), the recovery of bitumen from oil sands (which is discussed further in Section 11.3.2), and the removal of particulates and bacteria in water and wastewater treatment (which is discussed further in Section 9.4).
