Carbon dioxide and carbonates

The quantity of free carbon dioxide in water can be calculated from the determination of basic neutralization capacity up to pH 8.3 (BNC8 3, total acidity). In this case, free COj reacts with an alkaline titrant to form hydrogen carbonate (CO2 + OH — HCO ). Provided that the whole basic neutralization capacity up to pH 8.3 consists only of free carbon dioxide, its weight concentration (c(C02)) can be calculated from the following equation  

Determinaaleadtion of carbonates and hydrogen carbonates is based on the assumption that the acid neutralization capacity is formed only by 

The content of aggressive CO2 can be determined by the Heyer marble test. In this case aggressive CO2 dissolves calcium carbonate (marble) to form hydrogen carbonate and thus the acid neutralization capacity of water increases up to pH 4.5 (total alkalinity). The increase of the acid neutralization capacity is proportional to the content of the originally present aggressive CO2 [14, 21]. 

Sulphates (at concentrations 50 mg 1 ) are determined by titration with lead(II) nitrate. The end point is indicated with dithizone (from green to violet-red) [14, 32]. 

For the determination of higher quantities of sulphates a gravimetric method is used (weighable form of BaSO ) [13,14, 32]. In the case of lower concentrations polarographic [54] or nephelometric methods are used [13].

The preheated gases react exothermically over the first-stage catalyst with the peak temperature ia the range of 330—430°C, depending on conditions and catalyst selectivity. The conversion of propylene to waste gas (carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide) is more exothermic than its conversion to acroleia. At the end of the catalyst bed the temperature of the mixture drops toward that of the molten salt coolant.

Carbon Dioxide and Carbon DisulUde. Propylene oxide and carbon dioxide react ia the presence of tertiary amine, quaternary ammonium haUdes, or calcium or magnesium haUde catalysts to produce propylene carbonate (52). Use of catalysts derived from diethyUiac results ia polycarbonates (53). 

Chemica.1 Properties. Reviews of carbonyl sulfide chemistry are available (18,23,24). Carbonyl sulfide is a stable compound and can be stored under pressure ia steel cylinders as compressed gas ia equiUbrium with Hquid. At ca 600°C carbonyl sulfide disproportionates to carbon dioxide and carbon disulfide at ca 900°C it dissociates to carbon monoxide and sulfur. It bums with a blue flame to carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Carbonyl sulfide reacts...

The gained hydrogen from the water shift reaction reduces the hydrogen demand for FTS. Water gas shift proceeds at about the same rate as the FT reaction. Studies of the overall water shift reaction in FT synthesis have been reviewed by Rofer Deporter. Another side reaction also occurring in FTS reactors is the disproportionation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and carbon ... 

By quenching the polymerization with C1402 or Cl40 the determination of the number of propagation rate constants was found to be also possible for the two-component catalytic system TiCl2 + AlEt2Cl 158, 159). In contrast to alcohols, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide under polymerization conditions react only with titanium-carbon active bonds and do not react with inactive aluminum-polymer bonds. 

Carbon has two important oxides carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The former is the acid anlrydride of carbonic add, the parent acid of the Irydrogett carbonates and the carbonates. 

Both oxidative and non-oxidative routes with similar share are followed, yielding hydrogen or water as additional products. As by-products, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, methyl formate and formic acid are generated. It is advised to quench the exit stream as formaldehyde decomposition can occur. 

The uranyl ion (UOj +) absorbs light in both the visible and ultraviolet spectral regions. In the presence of oxalic acid in excess of the uranyl ion concentration, the excited ion transfers its energy to the oxalic acid, which decomposes to form water, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide ...

Although zinc, cadmium, and mercury are not members of the so-called main-group elements, their behavior is very similar because of their having complete d orbitals that are not normally used in bonding. By having the filled s orbital outside the closed d shell, they resemble the group IIA elements. Zinc is an essential trace element that plays a role in the function of carboxypeptidase A and carbonic anhydrase enzymes. The first of these enzymes is a catalyst for the hydrolysis of proteins, whereas the second is a catalyst for the equilibrium involving carbon dioxide and carbonate,...
