Carbonate-bicarbonate

This is my version, but may be better done. First one, evaporate methanol, better with vacuum. Then we have two layers similar in volume, we add 100 of solvent and 50 cc of basic solution (sodium carbonate, bicarbonate or 10 % NaOH ). We shake it and may be we will have little more precipitate or tar. Also may be we can t see separation, then w/e add a bit more solvent without shaking to see separation. We make two more extractions with 50 cc of solvent. Even if we can t see separation, we can add enough HCI and shake, this will forme some tar and layers will be distincts, so we can separate and make a basic wash. Sometimes I ve done first an acid wash, but I can t sure it s better. I m thinking now may be is better to do all extraction as Strike s top 3. Add acid solution, like 250 cc (less PdClz and no CuCI) 15% HCI, extract and make a basic wash. 

Manufacture. Fluoroborate salts are prepared commercially by several different combinations of boric acid and 70% hydrofluoric acid with oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates, fluorides, and bifluorides. Fluoroborate salts are substantially less corrosive than fluoroboric acid but the possible presence of HF or free fluorides cannot be overlooked. Glass vessels and equipment should not be used. 

The cmde phthaUc anhydride is subjected to a thermal pretreatment or heat soak at atmospheric pressure to complete dehydration of traces of phthahc acid and to convert color bodies to higher boiling compounds that can be removed by distillation. The addition of chemicals during the heat soak promotes condensation reactions and shortens the time required for them. Use of potassium hydroxide and sodium nitrate, carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate, or borate has been patented (30). Purification is by continuous vacuum distillation, as shown by two columns in Figure 1. The most troublesome impurity is phthahde (l(3)-isobenzofuranone), which is stmcturaHy similar to phthahc anhydride. Reactor and recovery conditions must be carefully chosen to minimize phthahde contamination (31). Phthahde [87-41-2] is also reduced by adding potassium hydroxide during the heat soak (30). 

Caustic soda is removed from the carbonate—bicarbonate solution by treating with a slight excess of hard-burned quicklime (or slaked lime) at 85—90°C in a stirred reactor. The regenerated caustic soda is separated from the calcium carbonate precipitate (lime mud) by centrifuging or rotary vacuum filtration. The lime mud retains 30—35% Hquid and, to avoid loss of caustic soda, must be weU-washed on the filter or centrifuge. Finally, the recovered caustic solution is adjusted to the 10% level for recycle by the addition of 40% makeup caustic soda. 

The alkalinity is determined by titration of the sample with a standard acid (sulfuric or hydrochloric) to a definite pH. If the initial sample pH is >8.3, the titration curve has two inflection points reflecting the conversion of carbonate ion to bicarbonate ion and finally to carbonic acid (H2CO2). A sample with an initial pH <8.3 only exhibits one inflection point corresponding to conversion of bicarbonate to carbonic acid. Since most natural-water alkalinity is governed by the carbonate—bicarbonate ion equiUbria, the alkalinity titration is often used to estimate their concentrations. 

Ion chromatography can be used to determine chloride concentrations of 2—1000 ppb with a carbonate—bicarbonate eluent (23). Eluoride, nitrite, phosphate, bromide, nitrate, and sulfate do not interfere and can be measured simultaneously with a total analysis time of <30 min. 

Many anthraquinone reactive and acid dyes are derived from bromamine acid. The bromine atom is replaced with appropriate amines in the presence of copper catalyst in water or water—alcohol mixtures in the presence of acid binding agents such as alkaU metal carbonate, bicarbonate, hydroxide, or acetate (Ullmaim condensation reaction).

Various workers have used equation 8.8, or some modified version thereof, to compare observed with calculated crack velocities as a function of strain rate, but Fig 8.8 shows results from tests on a ferritic steel exposed to a carbonate-bicarbonate solution. The calculated lines move nearer to the experimental data as the number of cracks in equation 8.9 is increased, while the numbers of cracks observed varied with the applied strain rate, being about 100 for 4pp 10 s , but larger at slower 4pp and smaller at higher 4pp.

Primarily the sum of carbonate, bicarbonate and hydrate ions in water, but phosphate, silicate etc. may also contribute partially to alkalinity. Normally expressed as ppm (mg/1) CaC03. Phenolphthalein alkalinity (P Aik.) is that portion of alkalinity titrated with acid to pH 8.2 end-point, while total alkalinity (T Aik. or M Aik.) is that titrated with methyl orange indicator to pH 4.2 endpoint. 

Danckwerts et al. (D6, R4, R5) recently used the absorption of COz in carbonate-bicarbonate buffer solutions containing arsenate as a catalyst in the study of absorption in packed column. The C02 undergoes a pseudo first-order reaction and the reaction rate constant is well defined. Consequently this reaction could prove to be a useful method for determining mass-transfer rates and evaluating the reliability of analytical approaches proposed for the prediction of mass transfer with simultaneous chemical reaction in gas-liquid dispersions.
