Formic acid, oxidation solution tables

See Table III.) Bismuth formate Bi(OOCH)3 is prepared by reacting bismuth oxide with a 40% formic acid solution under reflux conditions (50, 64). The solid-state structure shows three different Bi-0 distance ranges [avg. 2.38, 2.52, and 2.77 A] and all oxygen atoms interacting with bismuth, which occupies a six-coordinate, distorted octahedral environment. The octahedra are linked via the carbon centers re-... 

Since preparation of this manuscript, subsequent studies were completed (11) on new segmented polyurethanes of type I made exclusively from polyethylene oxide diols, ethylene diamine, and 1,4-cyclohexane diisocyanate (CHDI) (no other diisocyanate was used). They were synthesized in toluene (not DMSO/pentanone)withdibutyltin dilaurate as catalyst (no catalyst was used to synthesize the polymers listed in Tables II and III) and eventually cast from hexafluroisopropanol or formic acid solutions (not DMF in which they were insoluble). 

In seeking information about the second stage of the oxidation at secondary positions attention was turned to the ozonation of simple alcohols (Table II). Methanol gave a blue solution with ozonized oxygen this faded rapidly, and on warming it was found to contain an equi-molecular mixture of formic acid and hydrogen peroxide ... 

Phenolic acids. Table 11 lists the Rf values for a number of phenolic acids and certain of their relatives on silica gel, silanized silica gel, cellulose, and polyamide layers. Silica gel (Silica Rapid Platten Woelm F-254) was used with solvents I [dichloromethane-toluene-formic acid (50 40 10)] and II [dichloromethane-acetic acid-water (100 50 50, lower phase)], followed by UV examination of the plates and subsequent spraying with 1 % methanolic ferric chloride. HPTLC precoated plates with silica gel 60 F-254, RP-8, and Wang polyamide were used with solvents 111 [benzene-ethyl acetate-formic acid (40 10 5)], IV [ethanol-water (55 45)], and IX [benzene-ethyl methyl ketone-methanol (60 26 14)], respectively. The upper part of Table 11 lists the Revalues of hydroxybenzoic acids and the lower part those for hydroxycinnamic acids. For columns V, VI, VII, and VIII, the solvents used were 2% formic acid (V), 20% potassium chloride solution (VI), isopropanol- ammonium hydroxide-water (8 1 1) (VII), and 10% acetic acid (VIII). For each layer the relative trends of the Revalues follow the polarity of the compounds listed. Table 12 gives the Revalues for certain phenolic acids on silver oxide-impregnated silica gel G by two-dimensional development on cellulose (107). 

Excellent resistance is shown to oxidizing chlorides, reducing solutions, and seawater corrosion. Sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric, acetic, and formic acids can be handled at various concentrations and a variety of temperatures. The material is also approved for contact with foods. Refer to Table 11.7 for the compatibility of alloy A1-6XN with selected corrodents. 

Many carboxylic acids are still named by their common names, which use prefixes form, acet, propion, butyr. These prefixes are related to the natural sources of the simple carboxylic acids. For example, formic acid is injected under the skin from bee or red ant stings and other insect bites. Acetic acid is the oxidation product of the ethanol in wines and apple cider. A solution of acetic acid and water is known as vinegar. Butyric acid gives the foul odor to rancid butter (see Table 14.1). 

A typical procedure involves adding a suitable amount of urea to an acidified solution of, e.g., aluminum ions. A weak acid, such as formic or acetic acid, is also added to provide buffering action so that the pH does not rise too rapidly as the urea hydrolyzes. The solution is then heated until the pH rises to the desired value, which is 4 for quantitative precipitation of hydrated aluminum oxide. Homogenously precipitated hydrated aluminum oxide is superior to that precipitated by addition of ammonia in that it is purei denser, more compact, and more easily filtered. Some reagents used in PFHS are listed in Table 2. 

Alloy C-22 has exceptional resistance to a wide variety of chemical process environments, including strong process environments, strong oxidizers such as ferric and cupric chlorides, hot contaminated media (organic and inorganic), chlorine, formic and acetic acids, acetic anhydride, seawater, and brine solutions. The compatibility of alloy C-22 with selected corrodents will be found in Table 15.13.
