Chloride, nitrate and sulphate

The salts are stable in air in absence of light, and are decomposed on heating to 100° C. The chloride, nitrate, and sulphate are fairly soluble in water, the other salts are sparingly soluble. They form many double salts. 

Smee et al. [40] used ion chromatography has been used for the measurement of background concentrations of fluoride, chloride, nitrate and sulphate in non saline waters. 

Table 2.5 Detection limits of chloride, nitrate and sulphate on the Zipax-SAX column with 1.4x10 3mol L 1 Na2-succinate as eluent...

Detection limits (three times the background noise) for chloride, nitrate and sulphate were determined for a 200pL loop and for a concentrator column. These are given in Table 2.5. 

The accuracy of the method was considered by determination of the concentration of chloride, nitrate and sulphate in an EPA nutrient/ mineral standard. The results are shown in Table 2.10. The proximity of the chromatographic values to the EPA values indicates that corrections for matrix effects, due to additional constituents present in this standard, are unnecessaiy. 

Wagner et al. [93] and Rowland [94] have also determined chloride, nitrate and sulphates in amounts down to 0.5mg L 1... 

The chlorides, nitrates, and sulphates of the cations of the copper sub-group are quite soluble in water. The sulphides, hydroxides, and carbonates are insoluble. Some of the cations of the copper sub-group (mercury(II), copper(II), and cadmium(II)) tend to form complexes (ammonia, cyanide ions, etc.). 

Cadmium forms bivalent ions which are colourless. Cadmium chloride, nitrate, and sulphate are soluble in water the sulphide is insoluble with a characteristic yellow colour.

The stability constants of complexes of zirconium with NTA, EDTA, 1,2-diamine-cyclohexanetetraacetic acid, chloride, nitrate and sulphate were determined by an ion exchange method using dinonyl naphthalene sulphonic acid in heptane as the liquid ion exchanger. The experiments were conducted in 2 M HCIO4 and at (20 1)°C. In the chloride and nitrate experiments, the concentration of CT or NO3 was varied to 1.8 M and, as such, a mixed perchlorate-chloride or perchlorate-nitrate medium was used in these experiments, that changed from being perchlorate dominant to being either chloride or nitrate dominant.

It boils at 210°C and has a dielectric constant higher than that of water (109). It is a good solvent for chlorides, nitrates and sulphates. It will also dissolve polar organic substances. 

Guarantees for achieving the prescribed quality of the treated effluent (which must meet the standards set by Statutory Pollution Control Authorities wherein the pH, maximum TDS—total dissolved solid concentration, minimum dissolved oxygen, and maximum permissible concentration of heavy metals, chlorides, nitrates, and sulphates are given). 

In the interim period before the new deionization equipment for the L and K basins was received, portable equipment was installed in July 1995 and used to lower the L basin water conductivity from 110 to below 8 pS/cm in 2.5 months. The equipment was then moved to the K basin, and within three months the conductivity was lowered to below 10 pS/cm. Continued deionization in both basins for two more months lowered the conductivity further, to less than 3 pS/cm, and the chlorides, nitrates and sulphates were lowered to about 0.5 ppm. The corrosion surveillance programme continued in the three reactor basins and in the RBOF while the basin and water quality improvements were being carried out, i.e. until mid-1996. Results of the component immersion tests through September 1997 (the last withdrawal) showed no pitting corrosion on any of the corrosion coupons. These coupons were exposed to a variety of conditions for 37-49 months as conditions improved in the basins. Table 1.1 presents a summary of component immersion tests for the period 1992-2000, when corrosion coupons accumulated exposure time in extremely high quahty water and withdrawal intervals were extended. 

Numerous measurements of effective diffusion coefficients in mineral liner materials, as they are typically used for landfill liners, are available for cations and anions. In an extensive investigation, H. L Jessberger and collaborators looked into the diffusion coefficients of various test liquids (mono solutions and mixtures of the chlorides, nitrates and sulphates of the metals listed in Table 7.7, organic mono solutions and mixtures and an artificial leachate) in different mineral liner materials (natural clayey soils and different kinds of well-graded mineral mixtures with various additives) (Jessberger et al. 1995). A systematic relationship between characteristic... 

The concentration of titrant chosen was found to be the optimum for clarity of end-point. Anionics do not interfere except by causing emulsification problems if their concentration in the titrated solution exceeds 0.001 M. Sodium, ammonium, aluminium, chloride, nitrate and sulphate do not interfere. Cationic surfactants must be absent. The volume of titrant needed per milligram of nonionic is almost constant at around 3.6 ml. The titrant must be standardised against the nonionic to be determined.
