Carbon disulfide tetrachloride

This measurement provides a definition of the bitumen content in bitumen materials as the portion soluble in carbon disulfide (in France, in trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloroethylene). The method is defined by AFNOR NF T 66-012 or IP 47, or ASTM D 4 (the latter is not equivalent to the others). 

Without carbon, the basis for life would be impossible. While it has been thought that silicon might take the place of carbon in forming a host of similar compounds, it is now not possible to form stable compounds with very long chains of silicon atoms. The atmosphere of Mars contains 96.2% CO2. Some of the most important compounds of carbon are carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon disulfide (CS2), chloroform (CHCb), carbon tetrachloride (CCk), methane (CHr), ethylene (C2H4), acetylene (C2H2), benzene (CeHe), acetic acid (CHsCOOH), and their derivatives. 

Iodine is a bluish-black, lustrous solid, volatizing at ordinary temperatures into a blue-violet gas with an irritating odor it forms compounds with many elements, but is less active than the other halogens, which displace it from iodides. Iodine exhibits some metallic-like properties. It dissolves readily in chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, or carbon disulfide to form beautiful purple solutions. It is only slightly soluble in water. 

The various fumigants often exhibit considerable specificity toward insect pests, as shown in Table 8. The proper choice for any control operation is determined not only by the effectiveness of the gas but by cost safety to humans, animals, and plants flammabdity penetratabdity effect on seed germination and reactivity with furnishings. The fumigants may be used individually or in combination. Carbon tetrachloride has been incorporated with carbon disulfide, ethylene dichloride, or ethylene dibromide to decrease flammability, and carbon dioxide is used with ethylene oxide for the same purpose. 

Naphthalene is very slightly soluble in water but is appreciably soluble in many organic solvents, eg, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene, phenols, ethers, carbon disulfide, chloroform, ben2ene, coal-tar naphtha, carbon tetrachloride, acetone, and decahydronaphthalene. Selected solubiUty data are presented in Table 4. 

Sulfur is insoluble in water but soluble to varying degrees in many organic solvents, such as carbon disulfide, ben2ene, warm aniline, warm carbon tetrachloride, andUquid ammonia (18). Carbon disulfide is the most commonly used solvent for sulfur. 

Manufacture. Trichloromethanesulfenyl chloride is made commercially by chlorination of carbon disulfide with the careful exclusion of iron or other metals, which cataly2e the chlorinolysis of the C—S bond to produce carbon tetrachloride. Various catalysts, notably iodine and activated carbon, are effective. The product is purified by fractional distillation to a minimum purity of 95%. Continuous processes have been described wherein carbon disulfide chlorination takes place on a granular charcoal column (59,60). A series of patents describes means for yield improvement by chlorination in the presence of dihinctional carbonyl compounds, phosphonates, phosphonites, phosphites, phosphates, or lead acetate (61). 

The commercial manufacture of carbon tetrachloride by chlorination of carbon disulfide yields sulfur monochloride.

Titanium carbide may also be made by the reaction at high temperature of titanium with carbon titanium tetrachloride with organic compounds such as methane, chloroform, or poly(vinyl chloride) titanium disulfide [12039-13-3] with carbon organotitanates with carbon precursor polymers (31) and titanium tetrachloride with hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Much of this work is directed toward the production of ultrafine (<1 jim) powders. The reaction of titanium tetrachloride with a hydrocarbon-hydrogen mixture at ca 1000°C is used for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of thin carbide films used in wear-resistant coatings. 

The component of highest carbon content is the fraction termed carboids and consists of species that are insoluble in carbon disulfide or in pyridine (5,6,49). The fraction that has been called carbenes contains molecular species that are soluble in carbon disulfide and soluble in pyridine but which are insoluble in carbon tetrachloride and in benzene (Fig. 11) (5,6,49). 

With minor exceptions the requirements for the physical and chemical properties of asphalt were essentially the same for the three national specifications and included penetration and ductiUty at 25 °C flash point % loss at 163 °C penetration of residue as a % of original solubiUty in carbon disulfide solubiUty in carbon tetrachloride specific gravity at 25°C and softening point. 

Bromine and bromides can be detected quaUtatively by a number of methods. In higher concentrations bromine forms colored solutions in solvents such as carbon tetrachloride [56-23-5] and carbon disulfide [75-15-0]. Bromine reacts with yeUow disodium fluorescein [518-47-8] to form red disodium tetrabromofluorescein (eosin) [548-26-5] C2QH Br4Na20. As Httle as 0.3 p.g of bromide can be detected and chlorides do not interfere (56). Bromine reacts with platinum sulfate [7446-29-9] Pt(S0 2> solution to form red to brown crystals of potassium hexabromoplatinate [16920-93-7] K PtBr ( )-...

United States consumption of carbon disulfide totaled about 108,000 t in 1990 according to SRI International, with the following distribution by end use appHcation 46,000 tons for rayon 33,000 tons for carbon tetrachloride 12,000 tons for mbber 5,000 tons for cellophane and 12,000 tons for agricultural and miscellaneous uses (129). During 1991 the carbon tetrachloride appHcation disappeared entirely thereby reducing the aimuali2ed carbon disulfide usage to an estimated 75,000 tons. Net exports are around 6,000 tons, and are expected to increase in the future. 

For many years chlorination of carbon disulfide was the only process used to manufacture carbon tetrachloride. In the 1950s, chlorination of hydrocarbons, particularly methane, became more popular ia the United States. Many hydrocarbons and chloriaated hydrocarbons are now used to feed chlorination reactors to make carbon tetrachloride. 

Carbon Disulfide Chlorination. The chlorination of carbon disulfide [75-15-0] is a very old method of producing carbon tetrachloride that is still practiced commercially in the United States. In this process CS2 reacts continuously with chlorine in an annular reactor at 105—130°C. Product CCl is separated by distillation to a CS2 content of 0—5 ppm. By-product S2CI2 is reduced in a reactor at 450°C with hydrogen without a catalyst to give sulfur of 99.985% purity (32). Other processes use ferric chloride as a catalyst (33,34). 

A good technical grade of carbon tetrachloride contains not more than the following amounts of impurities 1 ppm acidity as HCl, 1 ppm carbon disulfide if manufactured by carbon disulfide chlorination, 20 ppm bromine, 200 ppm water, and 150 ppm chloroform. The residue should not exceed 10 ppm on total evaporation. The product should give no acid reaction with bromophenol blue, and the starch iodine test should indicate the absence of free chlorine. 

Ethylene Cyanohydrin. This cyanohydrin, also known as hydracrylonitnle or glycocyanohydrin [109-78-4] is a straw-colored Hquid miscible with water, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and ethanol, and is insoluble in benzene, carbon disulfide, and carbon tetrachloride. Ethylene cyanohydrin differs from the other cyanohydrins discussed here in that it is a P-cyanohydrin. It is formed by the reaction of ethylene oxide with hydrogen cyanide.

More complicated molecules, with two or more chemical bonds, have more complicated absorption spectra. However, each molecule has such a characteristic spectrum that the spectrum can be used to detect the presence of that particular molecular substance. Figure 14-17, for example, shows the absorptions shown by liquid carbon tetrachloride, CCfi, and by liquid carbon disulfide, CS2. The bottom spectrum is that displayed by liquid CC14 containing a small amount of C. The absorptions of CS2 are evident in the spectrum of the mixture, so the infrared spectrum can be used to detect the impurity and to measure its concentration.

Will the solvent react with the excited state to yield undesirable side-products Often there is a real possibility that the solvent will enter into the picture through reaction with the excited solute. A common example of this is the abstraction of hydrogen atoms from solvents by excited ketones. Several solvents often used for a preliminary examination due to their relative inertness are benzene, /-butanol, carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride, and cyclohexane.
