Calcium organic compounds

Both HA and FA were removed from solution in the presence of 25 mM calcium chloride at pH 10. At this pH, calcite precipitates and the interactions between organics and calcium are strongest. In the absence of calcium no precipitation occurred at pH 10. This may indicate the precipitation of a calcium-organic compound, co-precipation of organics with calcite or, simply adsorption of organics onto calcite surface sites. 

Finally, membrane morphology studies gave insights into the nature of the fouling layers formed. More deposition is observed for the largest compound, IHSS HA. The amount of deposit increased with calcium concentration. Further, calcium concentration also influences the structure of the formed layer. The anticipated solubility effects are confirmed, as precipitates of calcium-organic compounds and calcium carbonates are visible. 

In the isolation of organic compounds from aqueous solutions, use is frequently made of the fact that the solubility of many organic substances in water is considerably decreased by the presence of dissolved inorganic salts (sodium chloride, calcium chloride, ammonium sulphate, etc.). This is the so-called salting-out effect. A further advantage is that the solubility of partially miscible organic solvents, such as ether, is considerably less in the salt solution, thus reducing the loss of solvent in extractions. 

The most common interfering substance, especially with alcohols of low mole cular weight, is water this may result in an inaccurate interpretation of the test if applied alone. Most of the water may usually be removed by shaking with a little anhydrous calcium sulphate,. though dry ethers (and also the saturated aliphatic and the simple aromatic hydrocarbons) do not react with sodium, many other classes of organic compounds do. Thus ... 

Organic compounds containing sulfur are very important. Calcium sulfur, ammonium sulfate, carbon disulfide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide are but a few of the many important compounds of sulfur. 

At elevated temperatures, CaH2 reacts with halogens, sulfur, phosphoms, alcohols, and ammonia. At high temperatures, it reacts with refractory metal oxides and haUdes. Calcium hydride is substantially inert to organic compounds that do not contain acidic hydrogens. 

Chemical Treatment. Some organic compounds are attacked by chemical reagents such as potassium permanganate, sodium hydroxide, calcium hypochlorite, and o2one (29,30). 

Calcium carbide can be treated with water to produce acetjiene from which other organic compounds, eg, ethanol, acetaldehyde, may be obtained (6) (see... 

Yields of propylene chlorohydrin range from 87—90% with dichloropropane yields of 6—9%. The dichloropropane is not only a yield loss but also represents a disposal problem as few uses are known for this material. Since almost all the propylene chlorohydrin is dehydrochlorinated to propylene oxide with lime or sodium hydroxide, none of the chlorine appears in the final product. Instead, it ends up as dilute calcium or sodium chloride solutions, which usually contain small amounts of propylene glycol and other organic compounds that can present significant disposal problems. 

Calcium sulfate (anhydrous). (Prepared by heating the dihydrate or the hemihydrate in an oven at 235° for 2-3h it can be regenerated.) Available commercially as Drierite. It forms the hemihydrate, 2CaS04.H20, so that its capacity is fairly low (6.6% of its weight of water), and hence is best used on partially dried substances. It is very efficient (being comparable with phosphorus pentoxide and concentrated sulfuric acid). Suitable for most organic compounds. Solvents boiling below 100° can be dried by direct distillation from calcium sulfate. 

MIcrobiocldes. There are several microbiocides available commercially that can perform an effective function in controlling microbial activity. Some of these chemicals are inorganic, such as chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, chromates and compounds of mercury and silver. However, the organic chemicals find the highest use as microbiocides. Some examples of these organic compounds are peracetic acid, paraformaldehyde, polychlorophenols and quaternary ammonium derivatives, to name a few [208]. 

Dissolution of CaCOs is a congruent reaction the entire mineral is weathered and results completely in soluble products. The above reaction is driven to the right by an increase of CO2 partial pressure and by the removal of the Ca and/or bicarbonate. Any impurities present in the calcareous rock, such as silicates, oxides, organic compounds, and others, are left as residue. As the calcium and bicarbonate leach... 

Herbicide use in forestry causes mineralization, thus decreasing the amount of organic compounds in the soil, as well as the overall nitrogen and calcium content. It is an immutable fact that pesticides negatively effect agricultural crops. And this influence is much more serious and varied than pesticide proponents believe. 

Sodium chlorite reacts very violently with organic compounds of divalent sulfur, or with free sulfur (which may ignite), even in presence of water. Contact of the chlorite with rubber vulcanised with sulfur or a divalent sulfur compound should therefore be avoided [1]. Application of factorial design techniques to experimental planning gave specific conditions for the safe oxidation of organic sulfides to sulfoxides using sodium chlorite or calcium hypochlorite [2],... 

The use of the perchlorate as desiccant in a drybag where contamination with organic compounds is possible is considered dangerous [1], Magnesium perchlorate ( Anhydrone ) was inadvertently used instead of calcium sulfate (anhydrite) to dry an unstated reaction product before vacuum distillation. The error was realised and all solid was filtered off. Towards the end of the distillation, decomposition and an explosion occurred, possibly owing to the presence of dissolved magnesium perchlorate, or more probably to perchloric acid present as impurity in the salt [2]. 

Acetic acid or Acetic anhhydride von Schwartz, 1918, 34 Cooling is necessary to prevent possible explosion from contact of potassium permanganate (or the sodium or calcium salts) with acetic acid or acetic anhydride. See Oxygenated organic compounds, below...
