Acids condensation

At high flame temperatures, small amounts of nitrogen react with oxygen to form nitrogen oxides, NO, primarily nitric oxide, NO. The chemistry of these nitrogen oxides is complex. Ultimately, however, some form nitrosylsulfuric acid, which ends up either as trace amounts in product acids or, in considerably higher concentrations, as condensed acid collected at mist eliminators. 

Air heaters in industrial environments require corrosion-protective finishes that are capable of protecting the coil and case from damage by condensation, acid vapors, or aggressive chemicals, in the air or the primary medium. If air washers are used with coils placed after them, copper or other noncorroding metal tubes should be used. 

Condensing species of relevance to corrosion include water and all acid gases. The dewpoint of water is obtained from standard tables, requiring only the water content (i.e. relative humidity) of the gas stream. Above the water dewpoint, corrosion problems include condensing acids (Section 53.3.2), dry acid gases (Section 53.3.3) and erosion. Below the water dewpoint acid gases dissolve in the water film to create an acidic solution, including ... 

Combustion products can affect sensitive electronic equipment. For example, hydrogen chloride (HCI) is formed by the combustion of PVC cables. Corrosion due to combusted PVC cable can be a substantial problem. This may result in increased contact resistance of electronic components. Condensed acids may result in the formation of electrolytic cells on surfaces. Certain wire and cable insulation, particularly silicone rubber, can be degraded on exposure to HCI. A methodology for classifying contamination levels and ease of restoration is presented in the SFPE Handbook... 

Disubstituted pyrylium salts reacted with NaOP(OR )2 to give 4H-pyranylphosphonates (217),263-265 which are hydrolyzed to the corresponding phosphoric acids 217 (R1 = H).263-265 The condensed acid 218 was prepared in the same way.259 If a mixture of P(OBu)3 and Bui is used in place of NaOP(OBu)2, the Arbuzov rearrangement gives the same products.2641... 

In composition, the salts are not all closely related to the mono-hydrated acid, H2Te03, although many are derived from this acid. Other salts are known 4 which appear to be derived from hypothetical condensed acids of composition H2Te206, ditellurous acid, and HaTe4Oe, tetratellurous acid, which may be regarded as products of the partial dehydration of the normal acid, H2Te03, or as intermediate products in the hydration of tellurium dioxide. 

Nitric acid and nitrogen oxides are driven off together with water vapour and pass from the tower through the top to a Bleacher (3) filled with disks or cylinders where they pass in counter-current to the condensed acid which returns from the S-bend condenser (4) of high-silicon iron to flow through (5) to storage. 

By nitric add and sulfuric add. The oxidation of ethylene sulfide with concentrated nitric acid leads to eulfoacetic add, HOaSCHjOOjH. and other condensed acids.8 Sulfuric acid, dilute or concentrated, appears to have only a polymerizing influence.18... 

The presence of acidic gases in steam makes the condensate acidic with consequent corrosion of nielal surfaces. Ill such cases, the corrosion rate can be reduced by feeding to the boiler water chemicals that produce alkaline gases in the steam. The addition of neutralizing and filming amines to boiler water or to condensate to minimize corrosion by condensate and feedwater is discussed later under Control of pH. 

These sulfuric acid particles become less concentrated as the temperature decreases or the water vapour increases. Under very cold stratospheric conditions, these liquid aerosols may take up water and HNO, forming ternary solutions H,S0/HN0,/H,0, which eventually freeze [19,24,26], Below 192 K, HNO, becomes the dominant condensed acid, and H,S04 drops to below 3 wt %. The thermodynamics and freezing nucleation of ice and H,S04 or HNO, hydrates from such solutions are however not well understood [27,28]. Other types of solid particles, such as the less stable nitric acid dihydrate (NAD, HN0,.2H,0) [29], sulfriric acid tetrahydrate (SAT, H S04.4H,0) [18,30], sulphuric acid hemihexahydrate (SAH, H2S04.6.5H20) [18], nitric acid penta-hydrate (NAP, HN03.5H,0) [31] and more complex sulfuric acid/nitric acid mixed hydrates [32] may also be a key to understanding Type IPSC nucleation and evolution [28],... 

Other condensed acids having the general formula H + 2P 03 + i are formed by the elimination of water between the acid containing (n — 1) phosphoms atoms and H3P04. The general structure of these acids can be represented as... 

The complex basic phosphates such as 5Ca0.3P205, which was made by passing the vapour of phosphorus pentoxide over anhydrous calcium oxide, are supposed to be derived from more hydrated condensed acids such as HjqPbO. 2... 

This correlation is reasonable. The iin-ionized acids contain oxygen atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, and the condensed acids contain oxygen atoms bonded to two central atoms ... 

Stannic acid readily condenses with itself to form large molecules, in which the octahedra of oxygen atoms surrounding tin atoms are linked together, by having oxygen atoms serve as the corners of two octahedra. The condensed acid H SnOg, called metastannic acid, is a white substance insoluble in water and dilute alkalis, but slowly soluble in hot concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. 

Problem 21.12 In acid-catalyzed aldol condensations acid is believed to perform two functions to catalyze conversion of carbonyl compound into the enol form, and to provide protonated carbonyl compound with which the enol can react. The reaction that then takes place can, depending upon one s point of view, be regarded either as acid-catalyzed nucleophilic addition to a carbonyl group, or as electrophilic addition to an alkene. On this basis, write all steps in the mechanism of acid-catalyzed aldol condensation of acetaldehyde. In the actual condensation step, identify the nucleophile and the electrophile. 

Here, by means of a three-way tap,. the condensed acid may, either at the beginning or end of the distillation, be collected in a large receiver while the concentrated 96 per cent. HN0 1, coming over intermediately, may be collected in the separate receivers. Front these receivers the vapours pass into a reflux condenser consisting of an earthenware coil immersed in water.
