Carbonyl from combustion

The dissolution of porous minerals, the combustion of porous carbon, the reaction between porous carbon and carbon dioxide, and the formation of nickel carbonyl from pure nickel are some examples of fluid-solid reactions where the reactant solid is porous and where no solid reaction product is formed. A reaction of this type can be represented as... 

With respect to coal emissions, mercury, for example, was found to exist principally (as much as 96% ) in the elemental form (30). Previously, it was argued by some that ultraviolet radiation transformed it to the less toxic mercuric oxide (30). Sunlight tends to degrade mercurial compounds to the elemental form (47). Beryllium emissions from coal combustion may be in the nontoxic elemental form (46), but this is not known for certain. Fluoride, which is generally assumed to be 100% volatized (19), may be trapped with lime in particulates (33), but this also is questionable. Highly toxic nickel carbonyl (48) and arsine (49) emissions have not been reported to date, although the former is a distinct possibility (50). 

Cyanohydrins should be stabilized with acid to pH 3-4 to prevent decomposition 10 hydrogen cyanide and carbonyl compound. When cyanohydrins are shipped, steel drums, carboys, tank cars, and barges are used. In general, cyanohydrins are combustible liquids and many decompose upon heating. They should be stored in a cool, dry place, preferably outside and separated from other storage. Containers should be protected against physical damage. 

Sulphur dioxide is both emitted into the troposphere and also formed during oxidation of dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and other sulphur containing species produced in the biosphere. Important sources of atmospheric S02 are volcanoes. However, the major single global source is probably the combustion of sulphur-containing fossil fuels. In the stratosphere there are two important sources of sulphur dioxide, i.e. injection by volcanic eruptions and oxidation of carbonyl sulphide (COS), which is transported from the troposphere. 

Complexes 132 and 133 reacted with a range of unsaturated substrates to afford [2 + 2] cycloaddition products. Addition of carbon dioxide to 133 gave complex 145 as adjudged by FTIR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and combustion analysis. Complexes 133 and 132 afforded complexes 146 and 147, respectively, after addition of adamantyl isocyanate. The formation of 146 and 147 is noteworthy from a regioselective point of view in that 1,2-addition gives the carbonyl-amide product. However, the alkoxide-imine product might have been expected given that the Lewis acidity of... 

In operation, the gases enter at diametrically opposite sides of the cylindrical combustion chamber. It is here that much carbonyl fluoride is formed and much heat is liberated. If flow rates are too high, the heat of the reaction may ignite copper in contact with fluorine. The capacity of the apparatus to produce trifluoromethyl hypo-fluorite appears to be limited by the rate of removal of heat from this reactor. A mixing chamber made from copper, nickel. Monel metal, or other fluorine-resistant metal should be satisfactory, provided that adequate provision is made for removal of heat. Suitable rates of flow for the apparatus described are fluorine, about 5 l./hour carbon monoxide, about 2 to 2.3 l./hour. The limiting rates have not been established. It is important that the ratio by volume of fluorine to carbon monoxide be somewhat more than 2 1.
