Barium carbonate dioxide

Elemental composition Ba 69.58%, C 6.09%, O 24.32%. The compound is digested with nitric acid under heating and the solution is analyzed for barium by atomic absorption or emission spectrometry (see Barium). Carbon dioxide may be determined by treating a small amount of the solid with dilute HCl and analyzing the evolved gas by GC using a thermal conductivity detector or a mass spectrometer. The characteristic mass of CO2 is 44. 

Principle. A known weight of the substance is heated with fuming nftric acid in a sealed tube, the organic material being oxidised to carbon dioxide and water, and the sulphur to sulphuric acid. The latter is subsequently washed out of the tube, precipitated as barium sulphate, and estimated as such... 

Inorganic Methods. Before the development of electrolytic processes, hydrogen peroxide was manufactured solely from metal peroxides. Eady methods based on barium peroxide, obtained by air-roasting barium oxide, used dilute sulfuric or phosphoric acid to form hydrogen peroxide in 3—8% concentration and the corresponding insoluble barium salt. Mote recent patents propose acidification with carbon dioxide and calcination of the by-product barium carbonate to the oxide for recycle. 

The radioactive isotopes available for use as precursors for radioactive tracer manufacturing include barium [ C]-carbonate [1882-53-7], tritium gas, p2p] phosphoric acid or pP]-phosphoric acid [15364-02-0], p S]-sulfuric acid [13770-01 -9], and sodium [ I]-iodide [24359-64-6]. It is from these chemical forms that the corresponding radioactive tracer chemicals are synthesized. [ C]-Carbon dioxide, [ C]-benzene, and [ C]-methyl iodide require vacuum-line handling in weU-ventilated fume hoods. Tritium gas, pH]-methyl iodide, sodium borotritide, and [ I]-iodine, which are the most difficult forms of these isotopes to contain, must be handled in specialized closed systems. Sodium p S]-sulfate and sodium [ I]-iodide must be handled similarly in closed systems to avoid the Uberation of volatile p S]-sulfur oxides and [ I]-iodine. Adequate shielding must be provided when handling P P]-phosphoric acid to minimize exposure to external radiation. 

Synthetic chemical approaches to the preparation of carbon-14 labeled materials iavolve a number of basic building blocks prepared from barium [ CJ-carbonate (2). These are carbon [ C]-dioxide [ CJ-acetjlene [U— C]-ben2ene, where U = uniformly labeled [1- and 2- C]-sodium acetate, [ C]-methyl iodide, [ C]-methanol, sodium [ C]-cyanide, and [ CJ-urea. Many compHcated radiotracers are synthesized from these materials. Some examples are [l- C]-8,ll,14-eicosatrienoic acid [3435-80-1] inoxn. [ CJ-carbon dioxide, [ting-U— C]-phenyhsothiocyanate [77590-93-3] ftom [ " CJ-acetjlene, [7- " C]-norepinephrine [18155-53-8] from [l- " C]-acetic acid, [4- " C]-cholesterol [1976-77-8] from [ " CJ-methyl iodide, [l- " C]-glucose [4005-41-8] from sodium [ " C]-cyanide, and [2- " C]-uracil [626-07-3] [27017-27-2] from [ " C]-urea. All syntheses of the basic radioactive building blocks have been described (4). 

The main electroceramic apphcations of titanium dioxide derive from its high dielectric constant (see Table 6). Rutile itself can be used as a dielectric iu multilayer capacitors, but it is much more common to use Ti02 for the manufacture of alkaline-earth titanates, eg, by the cocalciuation of barium carbonate and anatase. The electrical properties of these dielectrics are extremely sensitive to the presence of small (<20 ppm) quantities of impurities, and high performance titanates require consistently pure (eg, >99.9%) Ti02- Typical products are made by the hydrolysis of high purity titanium tetrachloride. 

Alkaline-Earth Titanates. Some physical properties of representative alkaline-earth titanates ate Hsted in Table 15. The most important apphcations of these titanates are in the manufacture of electronic components (109). The most important member of the class is barium titanate, BaTi03, which owes its significance to its exceptionally high dielectric constant and its piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. Further, because barium titanate easily forms solid solutions with strontium titanate, lead titanate, zirconium oxide, and tin oxide, the electrical properties can be modified within wide limits. Barium titanate may be made by, eg, cocalcination of barium carbonate and titanium dioxide at ca 1200°C. With the exception of Ba2Ti04, barium orthotitanate, titanates do not contain discrete TiO ions but ate mixed oxides. Ba2Ti04 has the P-K SO stmcture in which distorted tetrahedral TiO ions occur. 

Most barium compounds are prepared from reactions of barium carbonate [513-77-9] BaCO, which is commercially manufactured by the "black ash" process from barite and coke ki a process identical to that for strontium carbonate production. Depending on the co-product, soda ash and/or carbon dioxide are also consumed. 

Barium titanate is usually produced by the soHd-state reaction of barium carbonate and titanium dioxide. Dielectric and pie2oelectric properties of BaTiO can be affected by stoichiometry, micro stmcture, and additive ions that can enter into soHd solution. In the perovskite lattice, substitutions of Pb ", Sr ", Ca ", and Cd " can be made for part of the barium ions, maintaining the ferroelectric characteristics. Similarly, the TP" ion can partially be replaced with Sn +, Zr +, Ce +, and Th +. The possibihties for forming solution alloys in all these stmctures offer a range of compositions, which present a... 

CycHzation with loss of one carboxyl takes place in the presence of metal oxides, notably barium and thorium. Thus adipic acid yields cyclopentanone, carbon dioxide, and water (Dieckmaim reaction).

The alcoholic filtrate is evaporated to 50 cc., and 50 g. of barium hydroxide and 150 cc. of distilled water are added (Note 4). The mixture is refluxed for two hours and the excess barium hydroxide is precipitated with carbon dioxide. The barium carbonate is removed by filtration and washed with hot distilled water. A slight excess of sulfuric acid is added to the filtrate to liberate the amino acid from its barium salt, and an excess of barium carbonate is added to remove sulfate ion. The mixture is digested on the steam bath until effervescence ceases, and it is then filtered and the precipitate is washed with hot distilled water. The filtrate and washings are concentrated on the steam bath to a volume of 100 cc., decolorized with i g. of active carbon, filtered, and concentrated to the point of crystallization (about 25 cc.). The amino acid is precipitated by the addition of 150 cc. of absolute alcohol and the product is collected and washed with absolute alcohol. 

Physovenine, Cl4Hig03N2, was obtained by Salway from the mother liquors left after the separation of eseramine. It crystallises from a mixture of benzene and light petroleum in small, colourless prisms, m.p. 123°. Its salts are dissociated by water. With barium hydroxide physovenine liberates carbon dioxide and assumes a deep red colour, and, owing to the similarity of this behaviour with that of physostigmine, Salway suggested that physovenine may be an intermediate product in the formation of eseroline from physostigmine. 

Components in the invading water-based filtrate and in the formation waters may react to form insoluble precipitates which can block the pores and give rise to skin damage. The scale can be formed by interaction of calcium-based brines with carbon dioxide or sulfate ions in the formation water. Alternatively sulfate ions in the invading fluid may react with calcium or barium ions in the formation water. Analysis of the formation water can identify whether such a problem may arise. 

Kasuganobiosamine (4) by Hot Alkaline Hydrolysis. An aqueous solution (150 ml.) saturated with barium hydroxide was added to a solution of kasugamycin hydrochloride (5.3 grams, 12.22 mmoles) dissolved in 50 ml. of water free from carbon dioxide. The solution was refluxed on a steam bath for 10 hours. By the similar treatment of the reaction mixture as described in the case of cold alkaline hydrolysis, ammonia (11.10 mmoles), barium oxalate (3.037 grams, 12.48 mmoles) and kasuganobiosamine (3.638 grams, 11.80 mmoles) were obtained. 

Kasuganobiosamine (4) and Kasugamycinic Acid (9a) by cold Alkaline Hydrolysis. Kasugamycin hydrochloride (622 mg., 1.43 mmoles) was dissolved in 5 ml. of water free from carbon dioxide and 50 ml. of water saturated with barium hydroxide was added. The solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for 36 hours. Ammonia (0.30 mmole) was produced and barium oxalate (199 mg., 0.80 mmole) was obtained. After removal of barium oxalate by filtering, the filtrate was neutralized with dry ice. After removal of barium carbonate by filtering, the filtrate was adjusted to pH 7.0 and placed on a column of Amberlite CG-50 (ammonium form, 1.5 x 22 cm.), allowed to pass with a rate of... 

It was observed that carbon dioxide was generated during the reaction by trapping as barium carbonate. 

Both carbonates decompose to their oxides with the evolution of carbon dioxide. The decomposition temperature for calcium carbonate is in the temperature range 650-850 °C, whilst strontium carbonate decomposes between 950 and 1150°C. Hence the amount of calcium and strontium present in a mixture may be calculated from the weight losses due to the evolution of carbon dioxide at the lower and higher temperature ranges respectively. This method could be extended to the analysis of a three-component mixture, as barium carbonate is reported to decompose at an even higher temperature ( 1300 °C) than strontium carbonate. 

Urea was treated with oxalic acid and carbon. The operation was carried out in the presence of anhydrous copper sulphate in order to detect the water formed, and gases were expected to bubble through a barium hydroxide solution to be able to see carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, the apparatus was closed by mistake. It detonated due to the large quantity of gases formed in the reaction ... 

Thennodynamic inhibitors are complexing and chelating agents, suitable for specific scales. For example, for scale inhibition of barium sulfate, common chemicals are ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) andnitrilotriacetic acid. The solubility of calcium carbonate can be influenced by varying the pH or the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (CO2). The solubility increases with decreasing pH and increasing partial pressure of CO2, and it decreases with temperature. 

Interaction is exothermic, and if air is present, incandescence may occur with freshly prepared granular material. Admixture with oxygen causes a violent explosion [1], Soda-lime, used to absorb hydrogen sulfide, will subsequently react with atmospheric oxygen and especially carbon dioxide (from the solid coolant) with a sufficient exotherm in contact with moist paper wipes (in a laboratory waste bin) to cause ignition [2], Spent material should be saturated with water before separate disposal. Mixture analogous to soda-lime, such as barium hydroxide with potassium or sodium hydroxides, also behave similarly [1],... 

Bentzinger, von R. et al Praxis Naturwiss. Chem., 1987, 36, 38 A priming mixture of magnesium powder and barium peroxide to ignite thermite mixture was to be prepared, but as no barium peroxide was available, sodium peroxide was used instead. Some time after preparation, the mixture ignited spontaneously, because sodium peroxide, unlike barium peroxide, is very hygroscopic and forms hot cone, hydrogen peroxide from contact with atmospheric moisture. See Carbon dioxide, etc., above...
