Carbonates hydroxide

Manufacture. Fluoroborate salts are prepared commercially by several different combinations of boric acid and 70% hydrofluoric acid with oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates, fluorides, and bifluorides. Fluoroborate salts are substantially less corrosive than fluoroboric acid but the possible presence of HF or free fluorides cannot be overlooked. Glass vessels and equipment should not be used. 

Re OPe . The final step in the chemical processing of rare earths depends on the intended use of the product. Rare-earth chlorides, usually electrolytically reduced to the metallic form for use in metallurgy, are obtained by crystallisation of aqueous chloride solutions. Rare-earth fluorides, used for electrolytic or metaHothermic reduction, are obtained by precipitation with hydrofluoric acid. Rare-earth oxides are obtained by firing hydroxides, carbonates or oxalates, first precipitated from the aqueous solution, at 900°C. 

Magnesium methylate is sensitive to air and moisture, decomposing to magnesium hydroxide, carbonate, and methanol. It can be stored for one year in polyethylene bags under nitrogen or argon. 

The most important of these is the diboride, TiB2, which has a hexagonal stmeture and lattice parameters of a = 302.8 pm and c = 322.8 pm. Titanium diboride is a gray crystalline soUd. It is not attacked by cold concentrated hydrochloric or sulfuric acids, but dissolves slowly at boiling temperatures. It dissolves mote readily in nitric acid/hydrogen peroxide or nitric acid/sulfuric acid mixtures. It also decomposes upon fusion with alkaU hydroxides, carbonates, or bisulfates. 

Oxo Ion Salts. Salts of 0x0 anions, such as nitrate, sulfate, perchlorate, iodate, hydroxide, carbonate, phosphate, oxalate, etc, are important for the separation and reprocessing of uranium, hydroxide, carbonate, and phosphate ions are important for the chemical behavior of uranium ia the environment (150—153). 

Precipita.tingInhibitors. As discussed earlier, the localized pH at the cathode of the corrosion cell is elevated due to the generation of hydroxide ions. Precipitating inhibitors form complexes that are insoluble at this high pH (1—2 pH units above bulk water), but whose deposition can be controlled at the bulk water pH (typically 7—9 pH). A good example is zinc, which can precipitate as hydroxide, carbonate, or phosphate. Calcium carbonate and calcium orthophosphate are also precipitating inhibitors. Orthophosphate thus exhibits a dual mechanism, acting as both an anodic passivator and a cathodic precipitator. 

One patent describes a continuous process involving an aqueous alkah metal hydroxide, carbon disulfide, and an alcohol (82). The reported reaction time is 0.5—10 min before the mixture is fed to the dryer. The usual residence time is on the order of hours. A study ia the former USSR reported the use of the water—alcohol azeotrope for water removal from isobutyl or isoamyl alcohol and the appropriate alkah hydroxide to form the alkoxide prior to the addition of carbon disulfide (83). 

Ce(III) forms a water-insoluble hydroxide, carbonate, oxalate, phosphate, and fluoride sparingly soluble sulfate and acetate and soluble nitrate and chloride (and bromide). In solution the salts are only slightly hydrolyzed. The carbonate is readily prepared and is a convenient precursor for the preparation of other derivatives. The sparingly soluble sulfate and acetate decrease in solubihty with an increase in temperature. Calcination of most Ce(III) salts results in Ce02. 

When heated with pyrocatechol [720-80-9] copper powder, and alcohoHc sodium hydroxide, carbon tetrachloride gives a blue color that changes to red on addition of hydrochloric acid. This color reaction is not produced by chloroform. Quantitative analysis of carbon tetrachloride may be done by first decomposing the sample free of organic and inorganic chlorides, heating in a sealed tube with alcohoHc potash, and subsequently determining the potassium chloride formed as the silver haHde. The Zeiss interference refractometer has been used to determine the concentration of carbon tetrachloride vapor in air (36).

Carbonates and bicarbonates are used as lower alkalinity adjuncts or substitutes for hydroxide. It has been suggested that hydroxide/carbonate systems are more resistant to carbonation during spraying than hydroxide-only solutions. Powder products blended with light sodium carbonate are much less hygroscopic, and the carbonate can be a useful carrier for liquid additives, such as surfactants and solvents. 

The two methods available for this determination are modifications of those described in Section 10.32 for hydroxide/carbonate mixtures. In the first procedure, which is particularly valuable when the sample contains relatively large amounts of carbonate and small amounts of hydrogencarbonate, the total alkali is first determined in one portion of the solution by titration with standard 0.1M hydrochloric acid using methyl orange, methyl orange-indigo carmine, or bromophenol blue as indicator ...

It should be clear that, as well known from the surface science literature (Chapter 2) and from the XPS studies of Lambert and coworkers with Pt/(3"-A1203 (section 5.8), the Na adatoms on the Pt surface have a strong cationic character, Nas+-5+, where 5+ is coverage dependent but can reach values up to unity. This is particularly true in presence of other coadsorbates, such as O, H20, C02 or NO, leading to formation of surface sodium oxides, hydroxides, carbonates or nitrates, which may form ordered adlattices as discussed in that section. What is important to remember is that the work function change induced by such adlayers is, regardless of the exact nature of the counter ion, dominated by the large ( 5D) dipole moment of the, predominantly cationic, Na adatom.

Common pollutants in a titanium dioxide plant include heavy metals, titanium dioxide, sulfur trioxide, sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfate, sulfuric acid, and unreacted iron. Most of the metals are removed by alkaline precipitation as metallic hydroxides, carbonates, and sulfides. The resulting solution is subjected to flotation, settling, filtration, and centrifugation to treat the wastewater to acceptable standards. In the sulfate process, the wastewater is sent to the treatment pond, where most of the heavy metals are precipitated. The precipitate is washed and filtered to produce pure gypsum crystals. All other streams of wastewater are treated in similar ponds with calcium sulfate before being neutralized with calcium carbonate in a reactor. The effluent from the reactor is sent to clarifiers and the solid in the underflow is filtered and concentrated. The clarifier overflow is mixed with other process wastewaters and is then neutralized before discharge.

Plants readily accumulate lead from soils of low pH or low organic content however, uptake is significantly reduced after the application of lime or phosphate, which converts lead to hydroxides, carbonates, or phosphates of relatively low solubility (Demayo et al. 1982). Lead persists for lengthy periods in forest litter the estimated Tb 1/2 is 220 years (Turner et al. 1985). High levels of lead persisted for at least 6 years in litter, soil, amphibians, and mammals after zinc smelting was discontinued in Palmerton, Pennsylvania (Storm et al. 1994). Lead seems to be tightly bound by...
