Calcination acidity

Figure 2 also includes a comparative experiment, where the solid acid catalyst is a sample of non-fluorided (but calcined), acidic mordenite. Here we see a) a significant loss of alkylation activity with time on stream and b) a measurably lower... 

When the above-mentioned approach was used, a variety of quaternary ammonium ions were synthesized in high yields under both batch and flow conditions on calcined acidic zeolites HY and HZSM-5 (257). The reaction parameters were optimized by investigation of the conversion with MAS NMR spectroscopy. The reaction temperatures and the NMR shifts of the cationic species formed are summarized in Table 4. 

The first type consist of relatively short tubes, with an inner diameter of several millimetres, packed with an inert support on which the stationary liquid phase is held. The preferred sorbents are variously calcined, acid- or base-washed and silanized forms of diatomaceous earth (Chromosorb, Gas Chrom Q, Supelcoport)165,168,178,180-184,191,184,195,197,200,... 

As indicated by XRD patterns, there exist just 2-3 broad peaks in the calcined acid-made materials (Fig. 3A). Moreover, the N2 adsorption/desorption isotherm shown in Fig. 3B, the calcined acid-made mesoporous silica indeed possesses a broad capillary condensation at the partial pressure p/p0 of ca. 0.2-0.4, indicating a broad pore size distribution with a FWHM ca. 1.0 nm calculated from the BJH method. This is attributed to the occurrence of partial collapse of the mesostructure during the high temperature calcination. The hexagonal structure completely collapsed when subjected to further hydrothermal treatment in water at 100 °C for 3 h. Mesoporous silica materials synthesized from the acid route are commonly believed to be less stable than those from the alkaline route [6,7]. 

Zeolite beta samples with different framework and extraframework composition have been prepared by submitting the acid form of a commercial TEA-beta sample to different post-synthesis treatments, i.e. steam calcination, acid (HCl) leaching, and ammonium hexafluorosilicate (HFS) treatment. The samples were characterized by XRD, adsorption of N. at 77 K. i.r. spectroscopy with adsorbed pyridine, Si and Al MAS-NMR and XPS. Bifunctional catalysts were obtained by impregnation with 0.3 wt% Pt, and the catalytic activity for the isomerization of a simulated LSR feed (n-Cj/n-Cj, 60/40 wt%) was measured under different reaction conditions. 

The diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) has been used to investigate structural modifications of mazzite zeolite subject to calcination, acid leaching, and acetylacetone treatments [OlZl] - Fig. 63. The diffuse reflectance spectra of as-synthesized sample consists of a single band at = 220 run, which arises from Al-0 charge transfer of foitr coordinated framework Al, characteristic of as-synthesized zeolite [82G1]. Upon...

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. 

Stability. AH calcitic and dolomitic limestones are extremely stable compounds, decomposing only in fairly concentrated strong acids or at calcining temperatures of 898°C for high calcium and about 725°C for dolomitic stones at 101.3 kPa (1 atm). A very mild destabilizing effect is caused by C02-saturated water, as described in the preceding section on solubihty. Aragonite, however, is not as stable as calcite. In sustained contact with moisture,... 

Two types of magnesia, caustic-calcined and periclase (a refractory material), are derived from dolomitic lime. Lime is required in refining food-grade salt, citric acid, propjiene and ethylene oxides, and ethylene glycol, precipitated calcium carbonate, and organic salts, such as calcium stearate, lactate, caseinate. 

In order to make an efficient Y202 Eu ", it is necessary to start with weU-purifted yttrium and europium oxides or a weU-purifted coprecipitated oxide. Very small amounts of impurity ions, particularly other rare-earth ions, decrease the efficiency of this phosphor. Ce " is one of the most troublesome ions because it competes for the uv absorption and should be present at no more than about one part per million. Once purified, if not already coprecipitated, the oxides are dissolved in hydrochloric or nitric acid and then precipitated with oxaflc acid. This precipitate is then calcined, and fired at around 800°C to decompose the oxalate and form the oxide. EinaHy the oxide is fired usually in air at temperatures of 1500—1550°C in order to produce a good crystal stmcture and an efficient phosphor. This phosphor does not need to be further processed but may be milled for particle size control and/or screened to remove agglomerates which later show up as dark specks in the coating. 

Dead Seas Periclase Ltd., on the Dead Sea in Israel, uses yet another process to produce magnesium oxide. A concentrated magnesium chloride brine processed from the Dead Sea is sprayed into a reactor at about 1700°C (127,128). The brine is thermally decomposed into magnesium oxide and hydrochloric acid. To further process the magnesia, the product is slaked to form magnesium hydroxide which is then washed, filtered, and calcined under controlled conditions to produce a variety of MgO reactivity grades. A summary of MgO purities, for the various processes is given in Table 20. 

Red mercuric oxide generally is prepared in one of two ways by the heat-induced decomposition of mercuric nitrate or by hot precipitation. Both methods require careful control of reaction conditions. In the calcination method, mercury and an equivalent of hot, concentrated nitric acid react to form... 

Separation and Recovery of Rare-Earth Elements. Because rare-earth oxalates have low solubihty in acidic solutions, oxaUc acid is used for the separation and recovery of rare-earth elements (65). For the decomposition of rare-earth phosphate ores, such as mona ite and xenotime, a wet process using sulfuric acid has been widely employed. There is also a calcination process using alkaLine-earth compounds as a decomposition aid (66). In either process, rare-earth elements are recovered by the precipitation of oxalates, which are then converted to the corresponding oxides. 

Raffinate acid from the first cycle, containing approximately 7 to 14 g/L U Og is then reoxidized and re-extracted in the second, purification cycle using a solvent containing 0.3 Af D2EHPA and 0.075 AfTOPO. The loaded solvent is washed with iron-free acid to remove iron and then with water to remove extracted and entrained acid. The solvent is stripped with ammonium carbonate [506-87-6] to yield ammonium uranyl tricarbonate [18077-77-5] which is subsequendy calcined to U Og (yellow cake). The stripped solvent is regenerated with mineral acid before recycling (39). 

The general manufacturing scheme for phosphate salts is shown in Figure 11. Condensed phosphates are prepared from the appropriate orthophosphate or mixture of orthophosphates, so the preparation of orthophosphates must be considered first for the manufacture of any phosphate salt. Phosphoric acid is neutralized to form a solution or slurry with a carefully adjusted acid/base ratio according to the desired orthophosphate product. The orthophosphate may be recovered either by crystallization from solution, or the entire solution or slurry may be evaporated to dryness. The dewatering (qv) method is determined by the solubihty properties of the product and by its desired physical properties such as crystal size and shape, bulk density, and surface area. Acid orthophosphate salts may be converted to condensed phosphates by thermal dehydration (calcination).
