Barium sulfate characterization

Paste Mixing. The active materials for both positive and negative plates are made from the identical base materials. Lead oxide, fibers, water, and a dilute solution of sulfuric acid are combined in an agitated batch mixer or reactor to form a pastelike mixture of lead sulfates, the normal, tribasic, and tetrabasic sulfates, plus PbO, water, and free lead. The positive and negative pastes differ only in additives to the base mixture. Organic expanders, barium sulfate [7727-43-7] BaSO carbon, and occasionally mineral oil are added to the negative paste. Red lead [1314-41 -6] or minium, Pb O, is sometimes added to the positive mix. The paste for both electrodes is characterized by cube weight or density, penetration, and raw plate density. 

However, Nielsen reported the growth of barium sulfate to be controlled by a chemical reaction in which the crystal formation was a fourth-power step. The precipitation was found to be diffusion-controlled when the concentration was greater than 0.4 mM and could be characterized by the equation ...

Antioxidants and UV inhibitors are often added in low concentrations. Weak bands attributed to these low-molecular-weight molecules (which are essentially dissolved in the polymer) may be identified in the spectra. Under certain conditions these additives may be extractable and their unmasked spectra obtained. There also may be inorganic compounds added (in this case the additives are insoluble and are merely suspended in the polymer) to make the sample opaque or translucent, e.g., titanium dioxide, barium sulfate, and iron oxide. Other common additives include dyes and pigments. Polymer samples as you receive them, therefore, may be fairly complex mixtures, and full characterization of the sample may require extensive separation and application of other instrumental techniques. 

The first chemical work on calabash curare was carried out in 1897 by Boehm (8), who isolated a highly active amorphous material which was named curarine. This was soluble in water and insoluble in ether, so it is probable that Boehm was handling a mixture of crude quaternary alkaloids. Much later (1935), King described (9) the preparation of an equally active amorphous quaternary iodide from the bark of S. toxifera. However, the first isolation of well-characterized crystalline alkaloids was achieved by H. Wieland and his school (10-13). Calabash curares were extracted with methanol, and the water-soluble quaternary alkaloids in the extract were precipitated as the reineckate salts this mixture was then fractionated by adsorption chromatography on alumina. The various reineckate fractions so obtained were converted into the corresponding chlorides by successive treatment with equivalent quantities of silver sulfate and barium chloride some of the quaternary alkaloids then crystallized as the chlorides or as the picrates. C-Curarine1... 

Barium hydroxide hydrolysis followed by amino acid analysis revealed a sulfated Tyr residue. Subsequently, the myotropic nature of PSK was demonstrated on the isolated hindgut preparation of P. americana where the threshold of activity concentration was determined to be 0.25 nM, virtually the same as the threshold concentration (0.22 nM) of LSK on the isolated L. maderae hindgut (13). In addition to PSK, the non-sulfated form of LSK-II was isolated and structurally characterized from the P. americana cc extracts, but the biologically active sulfated form was not found (19).

Clarifier sludge is removed continually from the bottom of the clarifier cone (Section 7.5.3.2D). Its composition is quite different fiem that of saturator sludge, consisting mainly of carbonates and hydroxides of the precipitated metals. Like the saturator sludge, it is usually nonhazardous, and disposal is not complicated. When barium is used to precipitate sulfate, and in those rare cases where barium is found in considerable quantity in the salt or brine, the sludge requires characterization before it can be sent to a landfill. Traces of other heavy metals may also restrict methods of disposal.
