Arsenic As

Cooled dust-laden gas is dedusted in an electrostatic precipitator and sent to the cleaning unit to remove impurities such as arsenic, fluorine, and chlorine before being sent on to the sulfuric acid production plant. [Pg.38]

Metals less noble than copper, such as iron, nickel, and lead, dissolve from the anode. The lead precipitates as lead sulfate in the slimes. Other impurities such as arsenic, antimony, and bismuth remain partiy as insoluble compounds in the slimes and partiy as soluble complexes in the electrolyte. Precious metals, such as gold and silver, remain as metals in the anode slimes. The bulk of the slimes consist of particles of copper falling from the anode, and insoluble sulfides, selenides, or teUurides. These slimes are processed further for the recovery of the various constituents. Metals less noble than copper do not deposit but accumulate in solution. This requires periodic purification of the electrolyte to remove nickel sulfate, arsenic, and other impurities. [Pg.176]

Tests for elements such as arsenic, lead, and copper are specified in the relevant standards. The methods specified are usually of the colorimetric or atomic absorption types. [Pg.11]

Coprecipitation is a technology by which many metals such as arsenic will adsorb on alum or iron docs and be effectively removed over a near-neutral pH range. The disadvantage of coprecipitation is the generation of large quantities of sludge. [Pg.184]

Zinc smelters use x-ray fluorescence spectrometry to analyze for zinc and many other metals in concentrates, calcines, residues, and trace elements precipitated from solution, such as arsenic, antimony, selenium, tellurium, and tin. X-ray analysis is also used for quaUtative and semiquantitative analysis. Electrolytic smelters rely heavily on AAS and polarography for solutions, residues, and environmental samples. [Pg.410]

MetaUic arsenic is stable in dry air, but when exposed to humid air the surface oxidizes, giving a superficial golden bronze tarnish that turns black upon further exposure. The amorphous form is more stable to atmospheric oxidation. Upon heating in air, both forms sublime and the vapor oxidizes to arsenic trioxide [1327-53-3] AS2O2. Although As O represents its crystalline makeup, the oxide is more commonly referred to as arsenic trioxide. A persistent garliclike odor is noted during oxidation. [Pg.326]

HP arsenic is used in the manufacture of photoreceptor arsenic-selenium alloys for xerographic plain paper copiers (see Electrophotography). The level of arsenic maybe 0.5%, 5.0%, or 35% present as arsenic triselenide [1303-36-2] As2Se2. [Pg.330]

Refining. The alloy of bismuth and lead from the separation procedures is treated with molten caustic soda to remove traces of such acidic elements as arsenic and teUutium (4). It is then subjected to the Parkes desilverization process to remove the silver and gold present. This process is also used to remove these elements from lead. [Pg.124]

Product specifications for microbial food enzymes have been estabUshed by JECEA and ECC. They limit or prescribe the absence of certain ubiquitous contaminants such as arsenic, heavy metals, lead, coliforms, E. coli and Salmonella. Furthermore, they prescribe the absence of antibacterial activity and, for fungal enzymes only, mycotoxins. [Pg.304]

Control of metalloid content in natural objects, foodstuff and pharmaceuticals is an important task for modern analytical chemistry. Determination of elements such as Arsenic is necessary for evaluation of object toxicity, since their content in environment may exceed MCL (maximum contaminant level), posing hazard to human health. Elements such as Selenium in definite doses are healthy, but in greater quantities they produce toxic effect. [Pg.397]

Detection limits in ICPMS depend on several factors. Dilution of the sample has a lai e effect. The amount of sample that may be in solution is governed by suppression effects and tolerable levels of dissolved solids. The response curve of the mass spectrometer has a large effect. A typical response curve for an ICPMS instrument shows much greater sensitivity for elements in the middle of the mass range (around 120 amu). Isotopic distribution is an important factor. Elements with more abundant isotopes at useful masses for analysis show lower detection limits. Other factors that affect detection limits include interference (i.e., ambiguity in identification that arises because an elemental isotope has the same mass as a compound molecules that may be present in the system) and ionization potentials. Elements that are not efficiently ionized, such as arsenic, suffer from poorer detection limits. [Pg.628]

The principal constituents of the paniculate matter are lead/zinc and iron oxides, but oxides of metals such as arsenic, antimony, cadmium, copper, and mercury are also present, along with metallic sulfates. Dust from raw materials handling contains metals, mainly in sulfidic form, although chlorides, fluorides, and metals in other chemical forms may be present. Off-gases contain fine dust panicles and volatile impurities such as arsenic, fluorine, and mercury. [Pg.132]

Despite low collection efficiencies, settling chambers have been used extensively in the past. The metals refining industries have used settling chambers to collect large particles, such as arsenic trioxide from the smelting of copper ore. [Pg.393]
