Inorganic compounds, extractable

Diamond and Tuck classified the extractable inorganic compounds under six headings ... 

It is noteworthy that, apart from the organic compounds described above, a few extractable inorganic compounds were identified. A contribution of elemental sulphur (S8) was observed in the pentane extract indicating the anaerobic conditions within the deposit (see Fig.3A). Minor concentrations of phosphoric and boronic acid were detected as methyl- or trimethylsilylesters after derivatization of the acidic extract. 

Extraction of Nonmetallic Inorganic Compounds. Phosphoric acid is usually formed from phosphate rock by treatment with sulfuric acid, which forms sparingly soluble calcium sulfate from which the phosphoric acid is readily separated. However, in special circumstances it may be necessary to use hydrochloric acid ... 

Members of the ion-insertion/extraction group, as inorganic or organic thin films, especially the former, have attracted the widest interest most recently. Tungsten trioxide was the eadiest exploited inorganic compound (4), even before the mechanism of its electrochromic response was understood (5). It is stiU the best known of the important ion-insertion/extraction group. 

Exempt colorants are made up of a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds representing the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms. Some, like -carotene and 2inc oxide, are essentially pure factory-produced chemicals of definite and known composition. Others, including annatto extract, cochineal extract, caramel, and beet powder are mixtures obtained from natural sources and have somewhat indefinite compositions.

Solvent extraction shows effectiveness in the removal of organic wastes such as PCBs, VOCs, halogenated solvents, and petroleum wastes, but is less effective in removing inorganic compounds.39 The removal of organic contaminants depends on the nature of the extracting solvent. Organic bound metals can become a constituent of the concentrated waste, which is undesirable because it can restrict both disposal and recycle options. 

Calcium carbonate is a common inorganic compound known as limestone. Calcium carbonate has many applications in industries such as medicine, agriculture, paint plastic and surface coatings etc. The vast majority of calcium carbonate used in industry is extracted by mining process. Pure calcium carbonate (e.g. for food or pharmaceutical use), is synthesized by passing carbon dioxide into a solution of calcium hydroxide slurry. In this process calcium carbonate precipitates out, and this grade of product is referred to as precipitate calcium carbonate (abbreviated as PCC). The common reaction is as follows ...

The author is both a soil scientist and a chemist. He has taught courses in all areas of chemistry and soil science, analyzed soil, for organic and inorganic compounds, in both soil solids and extracts, using various methods and instruments, for 44 years. Introduction to Soil Chemistry, Analysis and Instrumentation, 2nd Edition, is the result of these 44 years of experience in two distinct climatic zones in the Philippines, four countries in Africa, and one in Central and one in South America. In the United States, this experience includes analysis of soils from all sections of the country. 

Water is modified by soil when added as either rain or irrigation [2], The modifiers are plants, plant roots, organic matter, organic matter decomposition products, carbon dioxide and other gases in the soil atmosphere, and dissolved inorganic compounds, commonly salts. Of particular importance is the change in pH that accompanies this modification of water. Thus, components obtained from soil by added extraction water will be significantly different from... 

Carbon dioxide is the most common inorganic extractant used for the extraction of organic compounds in soil. Under pressure, it remains in the liquid state and can be used to extract organic compounds from soil. When the pressure is released, the carbon dioxide becomes a gas and is thus removed from the extracted components. An additional benefit is that liquid carbon dioxide is converted to gas at relatively low temperatures, thus limiting the loss of... 

Cappon and Crispin-Smith [59] have described a method for the extraction, clean-up and gas chromatographic determination of alkyl and aryl mercury compounds in sediments. The organomercury compounds are converted to their chloroderivatives and solvent extracted. Inorganic mercury is then isolated as methylmercury upon reaction with tetramethyltin. The initial extract is subjected to a thiosulphate clean-up and the organomercury species are isolated as their bromoderivatives. Total mercury recovery was in the range 75-90% and down to lpg kg-1 of specific compounds can be determined. 

Liquid-Liquid Extraction, Organic and Inorganic Compounds... 

The industrial use of solvent extraction of inorganic compounds grew out of the analytical work. As both areas, analytical as well as industrial, needed both better extractants and an understanding of the reaction steps in the solutions in order to optimize the applications, theoretical interpretations of the molecular reactions in the solutions became a necessity, as will be described in later chapters. 

This diversity in solvent properties results in large differences in the distribution ratios of extracted solutes. Some solvents, particularly those of class 3, readily react directly (due to their strong donor properties) with inorganic compounds and extract them without need for any additional extractant, while others (classes 4 and 5) do not dissolve salts without the aid of other extractants. These last are generally used as diluents for extractants, required for improving then-physical properties, such as density, viscosity, etc., or to bring solid extractants into solution in a liquid phase. The class 1 type of solvents are very soluble in water and are useless for extraction of metal species, although they may find use in separations in biochemical systems (see Chapter 9). 

Class A Type MX, . (Note We generally assume that the ligand is monovalent.) A small number of almost purely covalent inorganic compounds that are extracted by nonsolvating organic solvents. As these complexes are nonelectrolytes and almost as inert as the solutes of Type 1-A, they are treated jointly in section 4.4. 

Thus, to conduct successful analyses for many organic and inorganic compounds at trace concentrations, it is necessary to extract these compounds and use a concentration step prior to analysis. Many of the techniques developed for preconcentration are described in specialized books [10]. Proper choice of the extracting solvent can often be the critical step in the procedure.
