The Beiktein or copper wire test clearly indicates the presence of chlorine, bromine and iodine and was developed by Friedrich Konrad Beiktein (1838— 1906) (Vogel, 1978). It is widely used to identify PVC. A clean, copper wire 30—40 cm long with a cork, or other heat-insulating material, at one end as an insulating handle, is heated with a Bunsen burner or other flame source until the flame k colourless to clean it of residual impurities and to develop a coating of copper (U) oxide. The hot copper is then placed in contact with the...

Copper wire test Insert one end of copper wire into a cork. Holding the cork, heat the wire in flame until only a very slight yellow colour is seen in the flame. Now melt the film sample onto the wire while it is still hot. Hold the wire in outer part of fully burning flame.

The presence of chlorine such as in polyvinyl chloride can easily be confirmed by simply conducting the copper wire test. The tip of the copper wire should be heated to a red-hot temperature in a flame. A small quantity of material is picked up by drawing the wire across the surface of the sample. The tip of the wire is returned to the flame. A green-colored flame indicates the presence of chlorine in the material. Fluorocarbons can also be identified by detecting the presence of fluorine. 

Fluorocarbon plastics do not actually burn when exposed to a flame. They can easily be identified by a copper wire test that indicates the presence of fluorine by a bright green-colored flame. The fluoroplastics have a very high melting point. PTFE has a waxy surface and a specific gravity of 2.15. Fluoroplastics are practically impossible to dissolve in any chemical. 

This self-extinguishing amorphous plastic has a specific gravity of 1.2-1.7. It burns with a yellow flame and a green tip, and gives off the odor of hydrochloric acid and white smoke. Tetrahydrofuran and methyl ethyl ketone are common solvents for PVC. PVC can easily be identified by the copper wire test which indicates the presence of chlorine by a bright green flame. There are many different types of vinyl polymers such as polyvinyl acetate, polyvinylidene chloride, and ethylene vinyl acetate. The type of vinyl can be positively identified by infrared spectrometric techniques. 

In these equations the electrostatic potential i might be thought to be the potential at the actual electrodes, the platinum on the left and the silver on the right. However, electrons are not the hypothetical test particles of physics, and the electrostatic potential difference at a junction between two metals is nnmeasurable. Wliat is measurable is the difference in the electrochemical potential p of the electron, which at equilibrium must be the same in any two wires that are in electrical contact. One assumes that the electrochemical potential can be written as the combination of two tenns, a chemical potential minus the electrical potential (- / because of the negative charge on the electron). Wlien two copper wires are connected to the two electrodes, the... 

Push one end of a length of 20 cm. of stout copper wire into a cork (this wUl serve as a holder) at the other end make two or three turns about a thin glass rod. Heat the coil in the outer mantle of a Bunsen dame until it ceases to impart any colour to the dame. Allow the wire to cool somewhat and, while still warm, dip the coil into a small portion of the substance to be tested and heat again in the non-luminous dame. If the compound contains a halogen element, a green or bluish-green dame will be observed (usually after the initial smoky dame has disappeared). Before using the wire for another compound, heat it until the material from the previous test has been destroyed and the dame is not coloured. 

Prepare a coil of copper wire by winding several turns around a glass tube. Heat the coil in the oxidising flame of a Bunsen burner for 1-2 minutes and plunge the spiral, whilst still red hot, into a test-tube containing a solution of 1 ml. of methyl alcohol and 5 ml. of water. Stopper the test-tube loosely, cool, remove the wire, and repeat the process two or three times. Observe the odour of the solution and use it (or formalin diluted with water) to carry out the following tests. 

Prepare the acetaldehyde solution by plunging a red hot oxidised copper coil (made by winding a copper wire round a glass tube and heating the resulting coil in a Bunsen dame) into 6 ml. of 60 per cent, alcohol in a Pyrex test-tube. Withdraw the coil, cool the test-tube under the tap, repeat the oxidation several times, and use the cooled solution for the test. 

Cholestenone. Place a mixture of 1 0 g. of purified cholesterol and 0-2 g. of cupric oxide in a test-tube clamped securely at the top, add a fragment of Dry Ice in order to displace the air by carbon dioxide, and insert a plug of cotton wool in the mouth of the tube. Heat in a metal bath at 300-315° for 15 minutes and allow to cool rotate the test-tube occasionally in order to spread the melt on the sides. Warm with a few ml. of benzene and pour the black suspension directly into the top of a previously prepared chromatographic column (1) rinse the test-tube with a little more benzene and pour the rinsings into the column. With the aid of shght suction (> 3-4 cm. of mercury), draw the solution into the alumina column stir the top 0 -5 cm. or so with a stout copper wire to... 

To fulfil the above requirements the material inputs for the motor, such as stampings, steel, enamelled copper wire, insulations and varnishes, bearings, enclosure materials and hardware must be subjected to a series of acceptance tests according to norms and standard specifications. For example, enamelled copper wire used...

Manganese, copper, iron, cobalt and nickel ions can all initiate oxidation. Untinned copper wire can have a catastrophic effect on natural rubber compounds with which it comes into contact. Inert fillers for use in rubbers are usually tested for traces of such metal ions, particularly copper and manganese. The problem is perhaps less serious in saturated hydrocarbon polymers but still exists. 

The NO reduction over Cu-Ni-Fe alloys has been studied recently by Lamb and Tollefson. They tested copper wires, stainless steel turnings, and metal alloys from 378 to 500°C, at space velocities of 42,000-54,000 hr-1. The kinetics is found to be first order with respect to hydrogen between 400 and 55,000 ppm, and zero order with respect to NO between 600 and 6800 ppm 104). The activation energies of these reactions are found to be 12.0-18.2 kcal/mole. Hydrogen will reduce both oxygen and NO when they are simultaneously present. CO reduction kinetics were also studied over monel metals by Lunt et al. 43) and by Fedor et al. 105). Lunt speculated that the mechanism begins by oxidant attack on the metal surface... 

Using the metal reactivity series, students are to predict if a chemical reaction would occur when a coil of copper wire is placed in some aqueous silver nitrate in a test-tube. Students are to predict the macroscopic changes that they would expect, given the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction. 

Test 2. Heat niclosamide on a copper wire in a nonluminous flame. The flame becomes green [6]. 

Ionization probes These probes are called ionization probes because they get shorted due to the ionization of detonation products. The insulated copper wires of 0.8 mm dia and length 600 mm are taken and twisted together at the center followed by cutting of the twisted ends in the same plane (Figure 3.18a). These are usually inserted and anchored in the test sample to about 2-3 mm depth. 

Heat the drawn out part of the test tube until the glass melts, shape its end into a hook, and seal the tube. Spill 8-10 g of naphthalene onto the bottom of a wide bulbshaped test tube at least 40 cm long. Lower into it the sealed test tube for prepa- containing the phosphorus and fasten the hook-shaped end of the tube with copper wire to a glass... 

Other investigators used flame emission as a modified Beilstein test for the detection of halogenated hydrocarbons. In such an arrangement, a green flame was produced when halogenated hydrocarbons were burned in the presence of a copper wire. Replacement of the copper with indium improves specificity and...
