Spills and Disposal Procedures. If a spiU occurs outdoors, personnel should stay upwind of it. If the spiU is in a diked area it may be possible to recover much of the bromine, otherwise it should be absorbed with appropriate material. A water spray can be used to control bromine vapors and a mild ammonia atmosphere helps to neutralize bromine vapors. Small spills may be neutralized with lime water slurry or soda ash and flushed with large amounts of cold water.

In order to get the pore system of zeolites available for adsorption and catalysis the template molecules have to be removed. This is generally done by calcination in air at temperatures up to 500 °C. A careful study (ref. 12) of the calcination of as-synthesized TPA-containing MFI-type single crystals by infrared spectroscopy and visible light microscopy showed that quat decomposition sets in around 350 °C. Sometimes special techniques are required, e.g. heating in an ammonia atmosphere (ref. 13) in the case of B-MFI (boron instead of aluminum present) to prevent loss of crystallinity of the zeolite during template quat removal.

C, when the gas surface reactions can be expected to occur at a faster rate. Now it is seen that the response has reached a steady-state value after exposure to the ammonia atmosphere. The extra dip in the response curve seen in the oxygen environment might be due to the slow diffusion of ammonia. Some gas molecules might still be left under the sensor surface in this experiment when hit by the oxygen gas outlet. 

Meerkamper (Ref 9). has found that the sensitivity to impact is also reduced in an ammonia atmosphere. Presumably the ammonia is rapidly adsorbed on the freshly exposed surface of the crystals of nitrogen iodide and. prevents the decomposition from spreading ... 

Heating borazine in vacuo at 70°C yields poly(borazylene) polymers, which are soluble in solvents such as tetrahydrofuran or glyme and could be thermolyzed to boron nitride in good yields (120). Other soluble preceramic polymers were produced by transition-metal catalyzed formation of B-alkenylborazines (eq. 34) which were thermally polymerized under mild conditions to poly(alkenylborazines). The latter yielded boron nitride having low carbon contents when thermolyzed in an ammonia atmosphere (121). 

Direct Conversion of Hydrogen Zeolite Y. Kerr has reported that the normal hydrogen Y can be converted directly to the ultrastable form by heating in an inert static atmosphere at 700-800°C 22) or heating in a static ammonia atmosphere at 500°C 24). At 700-800°C, chemical water is thermally labilized and is envisioned by Kerr to effect hydrolysis of the acid zeolite. At 500° C ammonia labilizes chemical water whereby hydrolysis can occur.

The same type of tpt also was conducted by McLaren (Ref 54) in more detail including irradiation in an ammonia atmosphere, and also in a water vapor. Initiation was inhibited by the ammonia and water vapor environments. McLaren questioned the theory put forth by Poole and Henderson that a single a - particle caused the detonation... 

Van Der Voort17,18 used infrared curve fitting techniques, to show that during the ammoniation of trichlorosilylated silica, the formation of silazanes already starts at 423 K in vacuum conditions and at 523 K in an ammonia atmosphere. Since these temperatures are much lower than the ones provided by Fink, a third mechanism must be included ... 

Before growth of the buffer layer, nitridation of the sapphire surface is sometimes carried out. This is a heat treatment of the sapphire surface in ammonia atmosphere at high temperatures as described in the caption of FIGURE 4. This process, when conducted at 1150°C for 10 min, forms an extremely thin AIN layer ( 3 ML -0.7 nm) with a surface as smooth as the heat-treated sapphire surface. N atoms of AIN are directly bonded to A1 atoms of sapphire and the AIN layer has A1 polarity though the surface is mostly terminated by N atoms [28],... 

A beautiful example of vapor-phase intercalation involves the reaction of lead(II) iodide with hydrazine (Ghorayeb et al., 1984). Lead(II) iodide is a layer structure (Cdl2 structure, P3m, no. 164) which forms large yellow transparent hexagonal crystals. When these crystals are exposed to hydrazine vapor, they turn colorless Similar chemistry is observed with ammonia (Cleary, unpublished results). In the ammonia case, when the colorless intercalated crystals are removed from the ammonia atmosphere, the ammonia deintercalates spontaneously and the crystal returns to its yellow color ... 

The nascent hvdrogen reduces anv nitrates or nitrites to ammonia. Atmospheric oxygen converts the ferrous salt into colloidal feme hydroxide, a reaction that is facilitated by cascade aeration. As it coagulates and settles, the ferric hydroxide punfies the water in an analogous manner to that described for aluminium hydroxide above. The process is rather expensive, however, and for this reason some American towns have added ferrous sulphate direct to their waters. This is less satisfactory as the salt is not oxidised so readily as ferrous bicarbonate m addition to this, sulphuric acid is introduced into the water. 

Boron nitride (BN) exists in two forms. The first is a slippery solid formed from the reaction of BC13 with NH3, followed by heating in an ammonia atmosphere at 750°C. Subjecting the first form of BN to a pressure of 85,000 atm at 1800°C produces a second form that is the second...
