Dilution of acids

To solve some of the environmental problems of mixed-acid nitration, we were able to replaee sulfuric acid with solid superacid catalysts. This allowed us to develop a novel, clean, azeotropic nitration of aromatics with nitric acid over solid perfluorinated sulfonic acid catalysts (Nafion-H). The water formed is continuously azeotroped off by an excess of aromatics, thus preventing dilution of acid. Because the disposal of spent acids of nitration represents a serious environmental problem, the use of solid aeid eatalysts is a significant improvement. 

Elemental composition La 70.91%, F 29.01%. The compound may be characterized by x-ray methods. Lanthanum may be analyzed by AA or ICP technique following digestion in nitric acid and appropriate dilution of acid extract. 

Elemental composition Mo 59.94%, S 40.06%. The compound or mineral molybdenite may be identified nondestructively by x-ray and from physical properties. Molybdenum content of the material may be determined by various instrumental techniques after digestion of the solid in concentrated HNO3 or aqua regia followed by appropriate dilution of acid extract (See Molybdenum.)... 

Wear butyl rubber gloves, self-contained breathing apparatus, eye protection, and a laboratory coat. In the fume hood, slowly add the hydrofluoric acid to a plastic pail of cold water (at least a 1 10 dilution of acid to water is suggested). Add excess calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. Let the precipitate settle for 24 hours. Decant the solution to the drain. Allow the solid residue (calcium fluoride) to dry and package for disposal in accordance with local regulations.7,8... 

Nicrators can be made also of enamelled cast iron or stainless steel. Naked cast iron or lead cannot be used because, although they would not be attacked during nitration, they would be seriously affected on dilution of acid during the later stages of displacement... 

In addition to dilution of acid rock/mine drainage under oxidizing conditions, neutralization can occur under mildly or highly anaerobic conditions. This will create distinctive environments in which microorganisms thrive and nanoparticles form as a result of their activity. We describe two examples of such subsurface systems below. However, before turning to these topics, we note that Fe-based microbial ecosystems are not only found in association with metal sulfide deposits, but may be broadly relevant in the subsurface where Fe-rich minerals (biotite, olivine, pyroxenes, etc.) are present in reasonable abundance and dissolve, releasing aqueous ferrous iron. 

The heat evolved, therefore, is 47,540 calories per mol of sulphate. In addition there is evolved a heat of dilution of acid, 77.67 per cent (60° Be.) sulphuric acid to 7 per cent of 8,669 calories per mol. The total heat evolved, then, is 47,540 + 8,669 = 56,209 calories per mol of sulphate. 

From the relations 2.12 and 2.13, the pH value of a buffer will change with its dilution, because of changes in the ionic strength. Table 2.2 shows the magnitude of the effect of diluting an equimolar solution of a HA/A buffer (total molar concentration stated) with an equal volume of water. The quantity ApHv is defined as the increase in pH of a solution when it is diluted in this way. Dilution of acidic buffers increases the pH with bases there is a decrease. Conversely, the addition of an inert salt such as NaCl... 

If values of the partial molar volumes at infinite dilution of acidic and neutral citrates are combined with those given here for citric acid, then it is possible to obtain the volume changes occurring in the consecutive steps of dissociation reactions...
