Arsenical soap

In the form of arsenical soap arsenic is used in taxidermy to prevent insect damage. It has been stated, however, that skins treated with arsenates do not drv-out well, and tend to heat when piled.1... 

Use Arsenical soaps for taxidermists, antiseptic, dyeing, insecticides, hide preservation, herbicide. 

USE The technical grade, 90-95% pure, is used in manuf Of arsenical soap for use on skins, for treating vines against certain scale diseases as insecticide especially for termites. 

Other salts include lead arsenates and lead arsenites (see Insect control technology), lead chromates and lead sihcochromates (see Pigments), lead cyanide (see Cyanides), lead 2-ethyIhexanoate (see Driers and metallic soaps), and lead fluoroborate (see Fluorine compounds, inorganic).

Small areas Ventilate to remove the vapors. If decomposition to arsenic metal or arsenic oxides has occurred, wash the area with copious amounts of soap and water. Collect and containerize the rinseate in containers lined with high-density polyethylene. 

Arsine is highly volatile and there is little risk of direct residual contamination. However, potential persistent decomposition products include arsenic and arsenic oxides. Wash the remains with soap and water. Pay particular attention to areas where agent may get trapped, such as hair, scalp, pubic areas, fingernails, folds of skin, and wounds. If remains are heavily contaminated with residue, then wash and rinse waste should be contained for proper disposal. Once the remains have been thoroughly decontaminated, no further protective action is necessary. Body fluids removed during the embalming process do not pose any additional risks and should be contained and handled according to established procedures. Use standard burial procedures. 

Remove all clothing and personal effects. Because of the potential for hazardous residual metal content (i.e., arsenic, lead, antimony), it maybe appropriate to ship nondurable items to a hazardous waste disposal facility. Otherwise, decontaminate with soap and water. 

Bertrand Pelletier, 1761-1797. French chemist and pharmacist who investigated the arsenates, phosphates, and phosphides of many metals, studied the action of phosphorus on platinum, and devised new methods for making soap and refining metal for clocks. He served as inspector of the hospitals m Belgium. His son, Joseph Pelletier (1788-1842), and Joseph Caventou discovered quinine, cmehomne, strychnine, and brucine. See also ref. (89). 

Perforin all the experiments in the presence of your instructor. Arsenic compounds are very poisonous even in minimal doses Perform all work with arsenic compounds in a fume cupboard Pour residues of solutions into special jars and hand them in to the laboratory assistant. After completing work, thoroughly wash the ware in which the experiments were run. Wash your hands with soap. 

Mercury nitrate, corrosive sublimate, white arsenic, and lead acetate are occasionally used as reagents, and soap is described as an indication of hard waters, as when added to them a decomposition takes place, the acid unites with alkali, and the oil is disengaged such waters as these are generally called hard waters, and are unfit for washing cloaths, as also for boiling pulse and the harder kinds of flesh. 18 The list of qualitative reagents for the many constituents of natural waters comprises the principal reagents in use at present. 

If a soap is added to a lead hydrogen arsenate-hydrated ferric oxide mixture considerable damage and leaf drop is caused, especially if the soap contains a strong base, as in the case of commercial potash fish-oil soap or potassium oleate. Laboratory tests show that more soluble arsenic is formed than with a soap of a weak base such as triethanolamine oleate.7 The addition of cryolite to an arsenate inhibits the formation of soluble arsenic 8 fluosilicates cause decomposition. These fluorine... 

Antimony Potassium Tartrate This drug is not compatible with acids, alkalis, albumin, soap, salts of heavy metals, or tannins. Poisoning with antimony compounds resembles arsenic poisoning. Treatment is similar dimercaprol may be of use in treatment. 

Credit for the actual discovery of arsenic often goes to alchemist Albert the Great (Albertus Magnus, 1193—1280). He heated a common compound of arsenic, orpiment (AS2S3), with soap. Nearly pure arsenic was formed in the process.
