Copper blanks

In the manufacture of percussion caps and detonators the copper blanks are cut from copper strips and stamped to the required shape. The blanks are then plaeed in a gun-metal plate, with the concave side uppermost—a tool composed of a plate of gim-metal, in which are inserted a number of copper points, each of the same length, and so spaced apart as to exactly fit each point into a cap when inverted over a plate containing the blanks. The points are dipped into a vessel containing the cap composition, which has been previously moistened with methylated spirit. It is then removed and placed over the blanks, and a slight blow serves to deposit a small portion of the eap mixture into each cap. A similar tool is then dipped into shellac... 

Zn) penny with a less expensive copper-plated penny made from zinc strip (Zn—0.8% Cu alloy) (133,134). Zinc blanks stamped from the Hazelett-cast roUed zinc are barrel-plated with copper prior to coining to produce the finished penny. In 1992, about 22,000 Mt of special high grade zinc were used to make 9.1 biUion pennies. 

The tank house is divided into commercial and stripper sections. In the latter, one-day deposits are prepared by electrorefining anode copper onto oiled copper, stainless steel, or titanium blanks. These copper sheets are stripped from the blanks and fabricated into starter sheets for the commercial sections as starting cathodes. After 9—15 days, depending on the tank house, hill-term cathodes are pulled and washed and either sent to the casting department or sold direcdy.

The most important evaluation of an ANG storage systems performance is the measurement of the amount of usable gas which can be delivered from the system. This is frequently defined as the volume of gas obtained from the storage vessel when the pressure is reduced from the storage pressure of 3.5 MPa (35 bar) to one bar, usually at 298 K. This parameter is referred to as the delivered V/V and is easy to determine directly and free from ambiguity. Moreover, it is independent of the ratio of gas adsorbed to that which remains in the gaseous state. To determine the delivered V/V an adsorbent filled vessel of at least several hundred cubic centimeters is pressurized at 3.5 MPa and allowed to cool under that pressure to 298 K. The gas is then released over a time period sufficient to allow the bed temperature to return to 298 K. A blank, where the vessel is filled with a volume of non-porous material, such as copper shot. 

Procedure. To 10.0 mL of the solution containing up to 200 fig of copper in a separatory funnel, add 5.0 mL of 10 per cent hydroxylammonium chloride solution to reduce Cu(II) to Cu(I), and 10 mL of a 30 per cent sodium citrate solution to complex any other metals which may be present. Add ammonia solution until the pH is about 4 (Congo red paper), followed by lOmL of a 0.1 per cent solution of neo-cuproin in absolute ethanol. Shake for about 30 seconds with 10 mL of chloroform and allow the layers to separate. Repeat the extraction with a further 5 mL of chloroform. Measure the absorbance at 457 nm against a blank on the reagents which have been treated similarly to the sample. 

Procedure. Dissolve 0.0079 g of pure lead nitrate in 1 L of water in a graduated flask. To 10.0 mL of this solution (containing about 50 p.g of lead) contained in a 250 mL separatory funnel, add 75 mL of ammonia-cyanide-sulphite mixture (Note 1), adjust the pH of the solution to 9.5 (pH meter) by the cautious addition of hydrochloric acid (CARE ), then add 7.5 mL of a 0.005 per cent solution of dithizone in chloroform (Note 2), followed by 17.5 mL of chloroform. Shake for 1 minute, and allow the phases to separate. Determine the absorbance at 510 nm against a blank solution in a 1.0 cm absorption cell. A further extraction of the same solution gives zero absorption indicative of the complete extraction of the lead. Almost the same absorbance is obtained in the presence of 100 pg of copper ion and 100 pg of zinc ion.

Readily available copper(II) complexes derived from o-nitrosophenols react with dimethyl acetylenedicarbonxylate to give the 1,4-benzoxazine products that would be expected from formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition across the diheterodiene system (Scheme 168).239 No such reaction is observed in blank experiments with uncomplexed tautomeric nitrosophenols hence the copper may cause sufficient electronic perturbation within the heterodiene complex to allow reaction to occur. 

Bruland et al. [122] have shown that seawater samples collected by a variety of clean sampling techniques yielded consistent results for copper, cadmium, zinc, and nickel, which implies that representative uncontaminated samples were obtained. A dithiocarbamate extraction method coupled with atomic absorption spectrometry and flameless graphite furnace electrothermal atomisation is described which is essentially 100% quantitative for each of the four metals studied, has lower blanks and detection Emits, and yields better precision than previously published techniques. A more precise and accurate determination of these metals in seawater at their natural ng/1 concentration levels is therefore possible. Samples analysed by this procedure and by concentration on Chelex 100 showed similar results for cadmium and zinc. Both copper and nickel appeared to be inefficiently removed from seawater by Chelex 100. Comparison of the organic extraction results with other pertinent investigations showed excellent agreement.

It is important that the copper is in the monovalent state and incorporated into the silver hahde crystals as an impurity. Because the Cu+ has the same valence as the Ag+, some Cu+ will replace Ag+ in the AgX crystal, to form a dilute solid solution Cu Agi- X (Fig. 2.6d). The defects in this material are substitutional CuAg point defects and cation Frenkel defects. These crystallites are precipitated in the complete absence of light, after which a finished glass blank will look clear because the silver hahde grains are so small that they do not scatter light. 

To further complicate matters, when 30 ppm chloride ion is present and titanium cathode blanks are used for the copper deposition, an incomplete or lacy structure is obtained. If 30 ppm glue is, in turn, added to this solution, the effect of chloride ion is counteracted and complete coverage is again obtained.

The samples purified with lEC were diluted to approximately 100 ppb Cu. These samples were injected into a Multicollector Inductively-Coupled-Plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICPMS, Micromass Isoprobe at the University of Arizona and Neptune at Washington State University) in low resolution mode using a microconcentric nebulizer to increase sensitivity for the samples with lower concentrations of copper. The nebulizer flow was adjusted so that the intensity of the Cu beam remained constant at 2 volts. Both on and off peak blank corrections were applied to the data and yielded the same result. 

Prepare 30-fold and 50-fold dilutions of the test solution. Add 1.25 ml of a mixture prepared the same day by combining 2.0 ml of a 20 g/1 solution of copper sulphate R in water R, 2.0 ml of a 40g/l solution of sodium tartrate R in water R and 96.0 ml of a 40 g/1 solution of sodium carbonate R in 0.2M sodium hydroxide to test tubes containing 1.5ml of water R (blank), 1.5ml of the different dilutions of the test solution or 1.5 ml of the reference solutions. Mix after each addition. After approximately 10 min, add to each test-tube 0.25 ml of a mixture of equal volumes of water R and phosphomolybdotungstic reagent R. Mix each addition. After approximately 30 min, measure the absorbance (2.2.25) of each solution at 750 nm using blank as the compensation liquid. Draw a calibration curve (from the absorbances of the eight reference solutions the corresponding protein contents and read from the curve the content of protein in the test solution. 

Note that the observed absorbance is equal to the absorbance from Cu in the rock plus the blank absorbance. In the lab we measure the observed absorbance and subtract the blank absorbance from it to find the absorbance due to copper. 

The analysis of vanadium steels is effected by the application of one of the foregoing methods. Blank determinations on a steel free from vanadium but otherwise of the same approximate composition are used as a control. Iron and molybdenum are removed from hydrochloric acid solution by Kothe s ether separation method 1 chromium, nickel, copper, etc., are then precipitated as hydroxides by caustic soda, the filtrate containing the vanadium as vanadate.2 The method is modified for the simultaneous estimation of both vanadium and chromium in a vanadium-chromium steel.3... 

Above 75°C, a black precipitant forms in the BCA reaction mixture and the absorbance at 562 nm of the blank increases dramatically. This appeal s to be caused by the formation of copper oxide at high temperature. 

The blank is prepared with I ml of distilled water, adding low-alkalinity copper reagent and arsenomolybdate reagent as described in step 4.
