Ammonium salts removal

Note. For a very weak acid, the ammonium salt of which may dissociate rapidly on heating, conversion into the sodium salt rs recommended. Place o-1 g. of the acid in a boiling-tube and add NaOH solution until the mixture is just alkaline to litmus-paper. Add dil. HNO3 until just acid and then a slight excess of ammonia until again just alkaline. Add a piece of unglazed porcelain, and boil until the odour of ammonia is removed, and then cool. 

C) Phenacyl and p-Bromophenacyl esters. Ammonium salts in aqueous-ethanolic solution do not however usually condense satisfactorily with phenacyl and />-bromophenacyl bromide. The aqueous solution of the ammonium salt should therefore be boiled with a slight excess of sodium hydroxide to remove ammonia, and the solution then cooled, treated with hydrochloric acid until just alkaline to phenol-phthalein, and then evaporated to dryness. The sodium salt is then treated as described (p. 349) to give the ester. Filter the ester, and wash with water to remove senium halide before recrystallisation. 

For the HCI salt Do exactly as above except use 6N Hydrochloric Acid. 6N HCI may be produced by diluting 60.4mL of "Muriatic Acid" to lOOmL with distilled water. Evaporate the bubbler solution to dryness then add 15ml of water, lOmL 10% NaOH soln. and heat gently to a boil with constant motion until dense white fumes appear. This will remove the Ammonium Chloride. Remove from heat while stirring as it cools down. Pulverize the dry residue, then reflux with absolute Ethanol for several minutes. Filter the refluxed soln. on a heated Buchner or Hirsch funnel, then distill the alcohol off the filtrate until crystals just begin to form. Allow the soln. to cool naturally to room temperature, then cool further in an ice bath. Filter the solution on a chilled Buchner funnel with suction. The yield of Meth iamine Hydrochloride should be around 55% of the theoretical. 

Their basicity provides a means by which amines may be separated from neutral organic compounds A mixture containing an amine is dissolved m diethyl ether and shaken with dilute hydrochloric acid to convert the amine to an ammonium salt The ammonium salt being ionic dissolves m the aqueous phase which is separated from the ether layer Adding sodium hydroxide to the aqueous layer converts the ammonium salt back to the free amine which is then removed from the aqueous phase by extraction with a fresh portion of ether... 

Ammonium Ion Removal. A fixed-bed molecular-sieve ion-exchange process has been commercialized for the removal of ammonium ions from secondary wastewater treatment effluents. This application takes advantage of the superior selectivity of molecular-sieve ion exchangers for ammonium ions. The first plants employed clinoptilolite as a potentially low cost material because of its availability in natural deposits. The bed is regenerated with a lime-salt solution that can be reused after the ammonia is removed by pH adjustment and air stripping. The ammonia is subsequentiy removed from the air stream by acid scmbbing. 

These association reactions can be controlled. Acetone or acetonylacetone added to the solution of the polymeric electron acceptor prevents insolubilization, which takes place immediately upon the removal of the ketone. A second method of insolubiUzation control consists of blocking the carboxyl groups with inorganic cations, ie, the formation of the sodium or ammonium salt of poly(acryhc acid). Mixtures of poly(ethylene oxide) solutions with solutions of such salts can be precipitated by acidification. 

TYZOR LA [65104-06-5] (5), an aqueous solution of the ammonium salt of the titanium bis-lactate complex, is prepared from two equivalents of lactic acid to one of TYZOR TPT. The by-product isopropyl alcohol is removed by distillation and the resultant solution is neutralized with ammonium hydroxide. 

The starting materials of the aldehyde method may be sulfonated. For example. Cl Acid Blue 9 [2650-18-2] Cl Food Blue 2 (Cl 42090), is manufactured by condensing a-(A/-ethylanilino)-y -toluenesulfonic acid with o-sulfobenzaldehyde. The leuco base is oxidized with sodium dichromate to the dye, which is usually isolated as the ammonium salt. In this case, the removal of the excess amine is not necessary. However, this color caimot be used in the food sector because separation of the chromium compounds from the dye is difficult. An alternative method which gives food-grade Cl Acid Blue 9 (14) and dispenses with the use of sodium dichromate employs oxidative electrolysis of the leuco base (49). 

CP esters are generally prepared as the ammonium salt [9038-38-4] by the reaction of cellulose with phosphoric acid and urea at elevated temperatures (130—150°C). The effects of temperature and urea/H PO /cellulose composition on product analysis have been investigated (33). One of the first commercially feasible dameproofing procedures for cotton fabric, the Ban-Flame process (34,35), was based on this chemistry. It consists of mixing cellulose with a mixture of 50% urea, 18% H PO, and 32% water. It is then pressed to remove excess solution, heated to 150—175°C for 5—30 minutes, and thoroughly washed (36). 

By-product formation can also be reduced by use of a stripping gas or vacuum to faciUtate removal of ammonia (88) however, sublimation of urea becomes excessive if the pressure is too low. Addition of ammonium salts (eg, CU, NO7, or ) (89—91), acids, or pyrolysis of preformed urea salts, eg,... 

After about 12 hours, the ammonium salt of the imide which has precipitated is removed by filtration (Note 3), washed on a Buchner funnel with about 200 ml. of ether and air-dried. It is dissolved in the minimum amount (about 800 ml.) of boding water, and the solution is made acid to Congo red paper with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The free imide precipitates immediately and forms a wlrite slurry which is cooled in an ice bath. The imide is collected on a Buchner funnel and dried at 100° in an oven, or in a vacuum desiccator. The yield is 266-287 g. (65-70%), m.p. 187-191° (Note 4). 

A portion of nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere is converted to nitric acid (HNO3) and ammonium salts. Nitrate aerosol (acid aerosol) is removed from the atmosphere... 

Quaternary ammonium salts of pyrrolines 106) can be prepared only indirectly 197). Addition of bromine to l-dimethylamino-4-pentene followed by removal of hydrogen bromide afforded, depending upon the dehydrohalogenation conditions, quaternary bromides derived from either l,2-dimethyl-/f -pyrroline (107) or l-methyl-2-methylenepyrrolidine (108) (Scheme 7). 

Cations forming insoluble chromates, such as those of silver, barium, mercury (I), mercury(II), and bismuth, do not interfere because the acidity is sufficiently high to prevent their precipitation. Bromide ion from the generation may be expected to form insoluble silver bromide, and so it is preferable to separate silver prior to the precipitation. Ammonium salts interfere, owing to competitive oxidation by bromate, and should be removed by treatment with sodium hydroxide.

The grouping of ammonium salts in a separate section serves to emphasize the similarities of behaviour which are apparent in reactions yielding the volatile NH3 molecule, following removal of a proton from the NH4 cation. This property is not unique indeed, many cations are volatile and numerous salts leave no residue on completion of decomposition. Few kinetic investigations have, however, been reported for other compounds, in contrast to the extensive and detailed rate measurements which have been published for solid phase decompositions of many ammonium salts. Comparisons with the metal salts containing the same anion are sometimes productive, so that no single method of classification is altogether satisfactory. 

Ammonium salts of the zeolites differ from most of the compounds containing this cation discussed above, in that the anion is a stable network of A104 and Si04 tetrahedra with acid groups situated within the regular channels and pore structure. The removal of ammonia (and water) from such structures has been of interest owing to the catalytic activity of the decomposition product. It is believed [1006] that the first step in deammination is proton transfer (as in the decomposition of many other ammonium salts) from NH4 to the (Al, Si)04 network with —OH production. This reaction is 90% complete by 673 K [1007] and water is lost by condensation of the —OH groups (773—1173 K). The rate of ammonia evolution and the nature of the residual product depend to some extent on reactant disposition [1006,1008]. 

Benzyltriethylammonium chloride is available from Eastman Organic Chemicals. The checkers prepared the salt in a state of high purity by a modification of a reported procedure.3 A solution of 33.7 g. (0.33 mole) of triethylamine and 50.0 g. (0.40 mole) of benzyl chloride (both from Eastman Organic Chemicals) in 60 ml. of absolute ethanol was refluxed for 64 hours. The solution was cooled to room temperature and 300 ml. of ether was added. The precipitated ammonium salt was removed by filtration, redissolved in the minimum amount of hot acetone, and reprecipitated with ether. 

De-icing compositions for the removal of ice or for prevention of its reformation on automobile windshields are prepared from 1 part polyol, 1 part alcohol, and 0.05 part fluorinated surfactant, e.g., ammonium salts of mono- and bisfluoroalkyl phosphates and their complexes with aliphatic quaternary methyl sulfates [287].
