Similar MC calculations were used by Trout s group to study the carbon dioxide-liquid water interface at 220 K and 4 MPa near the phase boundary of a carbon dioxide hydrate (273 K and 4MPa). Nucleation was achieved by seeding the system with a cluster of carbon dioxide hydrate. It was found that a small cluster with diameter <9.6 A dissolved into the solution readily. A hydrate crystal started to grow, however, when a hydrate cluster twice that size (19.3 A) was implanted into the system. The crystal eventually spanned the whole system (Figure 22). Thus the critical nucleus size for hydrate nucleation is estimated to be about 19 A consisting of approximately 200 water molecules. This is a considerably smaller number than that estimated from the local harmonic model of around 600 molecules. The theoretical results refuted the labile cluster hypothesis.This hypothesis speculates the agglomeration... 

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate. Precipitated calcium carbonate can be produced by several methods but only the carbonation process is commercially used in the United States. Limestone is calcined in a kiln to obtain carbon dioxide and quicklime. The quicklime is mixed with water to produce a milk-of-lime. Dry hydrated lime can also be used as a feedstock. Carbon dioxide gas is bubbled through the milk-of-lime in a reactor known as a carbonator. Gassing continues until the calcium hydroxide has been converted to the carbonate. The end point can be monitored chemically or by pH measurements. Reaction conditions determine the type of crystal, the size of particles, and the size distribution produced.

Gas hydrates are non-stoichiometric crystals formed by the enclosure of molecules like methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide inside cages formed by hydrogen-bonded water molecules. There are more than 100 compounds (guests) that can combine with water (host) and form hydrates. Formation of gas hydrates is a problem in oil and gas operations because it causes plugging of the pipelines and other facilities. On the other hand natural methane hydrate exists in vast quantities in the earth s crust and is regarded as a future energy resource. 

Radon forms a series of clathrate compounds (inclusion compounds) similar to those of argon, krypton, and xenon. These can be prepared by mixing trace amounts of radon with macro amounts of host substances and allowing the mixtures to crystallize. No chemical bonds are formed the radon is merely trapped in the lattice of surrounding atoms it therefore escapes when the host crystal melts or dissolves. Compounds prepared in this manner include radon hydrate, Rn 6H20 (Nikitin, 1936) radon-phenol clathrate, Rn 3C H 0H (Nikitin and Kovalskaya, 1952) radon-p-chlorophenol clathrate, Rn 3p-ClC H 0H (Nikitin and Ioffe, 1952) and radon-p-cresol clathrate, Rn bp-CH C H OH (Trofimov and Kazankin, 1966). Radon has also been reported to co-crystallize with sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen sulfide (Nikitin, 1939).

The reaction of potassium chlorate with a carbohydrate (e.g., lactose) will produce carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2 I or a mixture depending on the oxidizerifuel ratio. The balanced equations are given as equations 8.2 and 8. 3. (Lactose occurs as a hydrate - one water molecule crystallizes with each lactose molecule.)... 

Ten grams of carbonatotetramminecobalt (III) nitrate Vfc-hydrate (No. 128) are covered with 100ml of water and treated dropwise with concentrated nitric add until evolution of carbon dioxide has ceased 5-6ml will be required. The red liquid is made alkaline with concentrated ammonia and then 15ml are added in excess. The mixture is heated on the steam bath for 45 minutes and then treated with 125ral of concentrated nitric acid. After digesting for one hour longer on the boiling water bath, the mixture of crystals and liquid is cooled in ice and isolated as in (I). 

Chromium pentaphenyl hydrogen carbonate,2 (C6H5)5Cr.HC03. 3H20, is formed when a methyl alcohol solution of the base is saturated with carbon dioxide. The crystals are orange-red and melt at 120° C. in a bath previously heated to 100° C. By suitably drying the product mono- and di-hydrates are isolated. The crystals are readily soluble in alcohols, sparingly soluble in water, insoluble in ether or benzene. 

F. Martin gave 174° for the temp, of explosion. According to L. Wohler and W. Krupko, basic cupric azide, cupric oxyazide, CuO.CuNg, is formed as a yellow hydrated substance when water with normal cupric azide in suspension is heated to 70°-80° in a current of air freed from carbon dioxide until the calculated quantity of hydrazoic acid has been evolved. It inflames at 245°. L. M. Dennis and H. Isham obtained cupric amminoazide,Cu(NHg)Ns,by shaking freshly precipitated black cupric hydroxide, while still moist, with an excess of hydrazoic acid and washed the precipitate. A soln. of the precipitate in aq. ammonia deposits crystals of the salt. It explodes when heated or struck. It is insoluble in water, and soluble in dil. acids,... 

Tris(phenylbiguanido)cobalt(III) hydroxide, [Co(C6-H5C2N6H5) 3]-3H20 or [Co(C6H6C2N6H6) 3] (OH) 3, forms rose-red crystals which melt with decomposition near 200° and are insoluble in water and alcohol. The compound absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and liberates ammonia from solutions of ammonium salts on boiling. Boiling water and alkali have no action upon the complex base, but concentrated acids decompose it. The anhydrous material may be obtained by heating the hydrate to 145 to 150° for 24 hours, but it readily absorbs water on exposure to air. The substance is preserved in an atmosphere free from carbon dioxide. 

A simple change in physical properties also can be achieved by crystallization. In the process of making soda ash, referred to earlier, the sodium bicarbonate crystals are subjected to heat that causes the release of carbon dioxide and produces low-density sodium carbonate crystals. The density of these crystals is incompatible with their use in glass manufacture, but a more acceptable crystal can be obtained by contacting the sodium carbonate crystals with water to form crystalline sodium carbonate monohydrate. Drying the resulting crystals removes the water of hydration and produces a dense product that is acceptable for glass manufacture.
