Aluminum, preparation

Aluminum powder—Cl Pigment Metal 1, Cl No. 77000, EEC No. E 173. Finely divided particles of aluminum prepared from virgin aluminum [7429-90-5]. It is free from admixture with other substances. 

Antacids neutralize gastric acid, inactivate pepsin, and bind bile salts. Aluminum-containing antacids also suppress HP and enhance mucosal defense. ° G1 adverse effects are most common with antacids and are dose dependent. Magnesium salts cause an osmotic diarrhea, whereas aluminum salts cause constipation. Diarrhea usually predominates with magnesium/aluminum preparations. Aluminum-containing antacids (except aluminum phosphate) form insoluble salts with dietary phosphorus and interfere with phosphorus absorption. Hypophosphatemia occurs most often in patients with low dietary phosphate intake (e.g., malnutrition or alcoholism). Combined treatment with sucralfate may amplify the hypophosphatemia and the potential for aluminum toxicity (see section on sucralfate). 

Forty and co-workers have used electron yield EXAFS to study (ex-situ) anodic films on aluminum prepared in tartrate and phosphoric acid electrolytes. The A1—O distance is different for the two film preparations. They conclude from these studies that in the tartrate formed film 80% of the aluminum ions are in octahedral sites and 20% in tetrahedral sites whereas for the films formed in phosphoric acid all of the aluminum ions appear to be located at tetrahedral sites. In addition, immersion of the phosphoric acid generated films into water at 85° C for 4 hr. gave rise to dramatic changes in the structure which were ascribed to hydration. (Fig. 13) No such changes were noted for the films generated in tartrate electrolyte. 

Effect of aluminum. Prepare a solution containing 5 ppm Ca and 10 ppm Al. Record the absorbance and compare with that of 5 ppm Ca by itself. Suggest a possible reaction for the results. 

This procedure may be applied to the ignition residues of organic aluminum preparations that are used for medical and technical purposes. The ash of leather and paper may likewise be tested for alumina in this way. 

The persistent interfacial failure with 120°C adhesives in actual service forces us to consider that the "standard" FPL etch for aluminum preparation may not be optimum for all bonding conditions. There are many years of outstanding service on this surface, but these surfaces had never before been evaluated with the particular combination of lower bonding temperatures and the unique testing program of combining heat, humidity, and sustained stress.

Blocks have been prepared of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy 20 mm thick, with electrical conductivity of 1.89x10 S/m. The discontinuity has been machined by milling at a width of 0.2 mm. 

Wohler is generally credited with having isolated the metal in 1827, although an impure form was prepared by Oersted two years earlier. In 1807, Davy proposed the name aluminum for the metal, undiscovered at that time, and later agreed to change it to aluminum. Shortly thereafter, the name aluminum was adopted to conform with the "ium" ending of most elements, and this spelling is now in use elsewhere in the world. 

Strontium is found chiefly as celestite and strontianite. The metal can be prepared by electrolysis of the fused chloride mixed with potassium chloride, or is made by reducing strontium oxide with aluminum in a vacuum at a temperature at which strontium distills off. Three allotropic forms of the metal exist, with transition points at 235 and 540oC. 

Uranium can be prepared by reducing uranium halides with alkali or alkaline earth metals or by reducing uranium oxides by calcium, aluminum, or carbon at high temperatures. The metal can also be produced by electrolysis of KUF5 or UF4, dissolved in a molten mixture of CaCl2 and NaCl. High-purity uranium can be prepared by the thermal decomposition of uranium halides on a hot filament. 

The regioselectivity of the addition of terminal alkynes to epoxides is improved, when the reagents prepared from the lithiated alkynes and either trifluoroborane or chlorodiethyl-aluminum arc employed (M. Yamaguchi, 1983 S. Danishefsky, 1976). (Ethoxyethynyl)lithium-trifluoroborane (1 1) is a convenient reagent for converting epoxides to y-lactones (M. Naka-tsuka, 1990 see p. 327f. cf. S. Danishefsky, 1976). 

Recently, Koitai et al. (17) have shown that 5,5-diphenyl-2,4-thiazolidinedithione (15) with aluminum chloride in refluxing toluene gives 4,5-diphenyl-A-4-thia2oline-2-thione (16) (Scheme 7). 3-Methyl-4,5-diphenyl (17) and 4,5-diphenyl-A-4-thia2oline-2-thiones (16) are obtained in very low yields (1 to 5%) as by-products of the reaction between deoxybenzoin. benzoin. l,2-diphenyl-1.2-ethanediol. 1.2-diphenylethanol, or benzil, and Sg in hexamethylphosphoamide (18), The transformation of A-4-thiazoline-2-ones to the corresponding thiones by P2S5 (19) is of little synthetic value since the latter are more easily prepared.

Triethylaluminum Preparation. Triethyl aluminum [97-93-8], C H Al, can be prepared by a two-step or a one-step process. In the former, aluminum [7429-90-5], Al, powder is added to recycled triethylaluminum and the slurry reacts first with hydrogen [1333-74-0], to produce diethylaluminum hydride [871-27-2], which in the second step reacts with ethylene [74-85-1], to produce triethylaluminum. In the one-step process,... 

High Purity Aluminum Trifluoride. High purity anhydrous aluminum triduoride that is free from oxide impurities can be prepared by reaction of gaseous anhydrous HF and AlCl at 100°C, gradually raising the temperature to 400°C. It can also be prepared by the action of elemental fluorine on metal/metal oxide and subsequent sublimation (12) or the decomposition of ammonium duoroaluminate at 700°C.
