Hydroxides charge

The phase transfer catalyzed alkylation reaction of dodecyl phenyl glycidyl ether (DPGE) with hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) was studied as a mechanistic model for the general PTC reaction with cellulose ethers. In this way, the most effective phase transfer catalysts and optimum reaction concentrations could be identified. As a model cellulose ether, CELLOSIZE HEC11 was chosen, and the phase transfer catalysts chosen for evaluation were aqueous solutions of choline hydroxide, tetramethyl-, tetrabutyl-, tetrahexyl-, and benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxides. The molar A/HEC ratio (molar ratio of alkali to HEC) used was 0.50, the diluent to HEC (D/HEC) weight ratio was 7.4, and the reaction diluent was aqueous /-butyl alcohol. Because some of the quaternary ammonium hydroxide charges would be accompanied by large additions of water, the initial water content of the diluent was adjusted so that the final diluent composition would be about 14.4% water in /-butyl alcohol. The results of these experiments are summarized in Table 2. 

To the neutralized filtrate, add sufficient oxalic acid to precipitate calcium and filter. Reneutralize the filtrate with ammonium hydroxide. Charge the filtrate onto a cationic exchange adsorption column containing 1,500 to 2,000 g of IRC-50 Amberlite in its ammonium form. Discard the eluate, wash the resin with water, and elute with 2N ammonium hydroxide. Collect 400 ml fractions and monitor by disc testing with S. aureus ATCC-6538P. Combine active fractions and evaporate to dryness under vacuum obtaining about 28 g of crude Antibiotic 6640 having an activity of about 500 mcm/g. 

The addition is mildly exothermic. Sodium hexafluorophosphate is commercially available although significantly more expensive. The sodium salt may be used in place of the hexafluorophosphoric acid by omitting the initial sodium hydroxide charge.

Table XI-1 (from Ref. 166) lists the potential-determining ion and its concentration giving zero charge on the mineral. There is a large family of minerals for which hydrogen (or hydroxide) ion is potential determining—oxides, silicates, phosphates, carbonates, and so on. For these, adsorption of surfactant ions is highly pH-dependent. An example is shown in Fig. XI-14. This type of behavior has important applications in flotation and is discussed further in Section XIII-4.

Place 200 g. (172 -5 ml.) of redistilled furfural (1) in a 1 litre beaker, provided with a mechanical stirrer and surrounded by an ice bath. Start the stirrer and, when the temperature has fallen to 5-8°, add a solution of 50 g. of sodium hydroxide in 100 ml. of water from a separatory funnel at such a rate that the temperature of the reaction mixture does not rise above 20° (20-25 minutes) continue the stirring for a further 1 hour. Much sodium furoate separates during the reaction. Allow to cool to room temperature, and add just enough water to dissolve the precipitate (about 65 ml.). Extract the solution at least five times with 60 ml. portions of ether in order to remove the furfuryl alcohol the best results are obtained by the use of the continuous extraction apparatus (charged with 350 ml. of ether) depicted in Fig. //, 44, 2. Keep the aqueous layer. Dry the ethereal extract with a httle anhydrous... 

Recall that the carbon atom of carbon dioxide bears a partial positive charge because of the electron attracting power of its attached oxygens When hydroxide ion (the Lewis base) bonds to this positively polarized carbon a pair of electrons in the carbon-oxygen double bond leaves carbon to become an unshared pair of oxygen...
