Carbon dioxide solid crystal structure

As a consequence of the identical crystallographic structure and the very similar ionic radii, MgO and NiO or CoO form uniform solid solutions Mg(i X)MxO (0 < x < 1), where M is Ni or Co (25). Real crystals are often covered by strongly adsorbed water and carbon dioxide, and thermal treatments in vacuo are needed to clean the surfaces and create the surface coordinative unsaturation mentioned previously (in particular the fourfold and threefold coordinated sites are cleaned only at very high temperatures). In this connection, it is evident that the surface chemistry of clean surfaces is primarily determined by the presence of these... 

Probably the rotary horizontal kiln is the most versatile, since it allows a feed of lumps or fines of limestone or marble, or wet or dry calcium carbonate sludges (Fig. 7.1). The main component of this calcination system is a 2.5- to 3.5-m diameter by 45- to 130-m long firebrick-lined inclined steel tube. Heat is applied to the lower end of this via oil, gas, or coal burners [7]. The feed to be calcined is fed in at the top end. Slow rotation of the tube on its axis gradually moves the feed down the tube, as it tumbles countercurrent to the hot combustion gases. In this way, wet feed is dried in the first few meters of travel. Further down the tube, carbon dioxide loss begins as the temperature of the feed rises. By the time the solid charge reaches the lower, fired end of the kiln it reaches temperatures of 900-1,000°C and carbon dioxide evolution is virtually complete. Normally the temperature of the lower end of the kiln is not allowed to go much above this as it reduces the life of the kiln lining. It also adversely affects the crystal structure of the lime product since it produces a dead-burned or overburned lime. Overburned lime is difficult to slake to convert it to calcium hydroxide and raises... 

Carbon dioxide molecule is the simplest form of linear molecular triatomics abundant in nature. At ambient temperatures, it crystallizes into cubic Pa-3) phase I, known as dry ice , at around 1.5 GPa and then to orthorhombic phase III Cmca) above 12 GPa (see Figs. 4 and 5). Both of these structures commonly appear in many other molecular solids [76, 77], for which stabilities have been well understood in terms of the intermolecular quadrupole-quadrupole interaction. In these phases at relatively low pressures below 15 GPa, the nearest intermolecular separation is in a range of 3.0 to 2.5 A, typically 2 - 2.5 times of the... 

All ionic compounds (for example, NaCl, KCl, and NaN03) are solids at room temperature covalent compounds may be solids (sugar), liquids (H2O, ethanol), or gases (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide). The three-dimensional crystal structure that is characteristic of ionic compounds holds them in a rigid, solid arrangement, whereas molecules of covalent compounds may be fixed, as in a solid, or more mobile, a characteristic of liquids and gases. 

Smurov precipitated nickel carbonate by mixing aqueous sodium carbonate and nickel chloride solutions. The solid phase obtained was washed free of chloride and used for the solubility study, but no attempt was made to characterise its stoichiometry and/or its crystal structure. The precipitate was equilibrated with water in a temperature range between 278.15 and 353.15 K. For each temperature the partial pressure of carbon dioxide was varied from 0.0005 atm to = 1 atm. Smurov s data have been ex-... 

Recently, it has been reported that the reaction of hydrazine hydrate with supercritical carbon dioxide forms a stable solid that is a 1 1 adduct of hydrazine and CO2 [26]. Its single-crystal structure (Figure 1.10) shows it to be as a zwitterion (NH3 NHCOO ). Its reactivity is similar to that of liquid hydrazine as it produces anhydrous hydrazine locally via the decarboxylation process. Owing to its zwitterionic form, carbazic acid exhibits better selectivity. It also shows excellent reactivity toward carbonyl compounds in the solid state and has been found to be a valuable alternative to liquid hydrazine [27].
