Inorganic agents, with Acids

Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water No reaction Reactivity with Common Materials Avoid contamination with combustible materials, various inorganic and organic acids, alkalies, alcohols, amines, easily oxidizable materials such as ethers, or materials used as accelerators in polymerizations reactions Stability During Transport Extremely explosion-sensitive to shock, heat and friction. Self-reactive Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics Not pertinent Polymerization Not pertinent inhibitor of Polymerization Not pertinent. 

The amphoteric agents exhibit excellent compatibility with inorganic electrolytes and with acids and alkalis. Such is their stability in strongly acidic solution that they are even used in cleaning compositions based on hydrofluoric acid [14]. 

Replacement of sulfuric acid in "mixed acid" aromatic nitrations by inorganic solids, with accumulation or elimination of produced water results in a fundamental different behaviour of the "HN03 - solid" couple. If water accumulates, nitric acid becomes a selective oxidative coupling agent, whereas when water is eliminated efficiently, nitric acid alone behaves as a strong nitrating agent, with increased paraselectivity as compared to the sulfo-nitric system. 

In our studies we synthesized surfactant salts of phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) and reacted them with tetraethyl orthosilicate (tetrabutyl titanate) in a salt-gel reaction in order to obtain a three-dimensional tunnel structure. It is based on the hydrothermal reaction using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as a structuredirecting agent. Phosphomolybdic acid is unstable when the temperature is over 723 K. Calcination to decompose the template will make the inorganic portion of the structure to collapse invariably and to form dense M0O3.X phases. Therefore, we... 

Some other unsuitable additives in LC/MS include surfactants/detergents and inorganic acids (sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid). The former additives tend to suppress the ionization of other compounds, while the latter can cause corrosion of metal parts in the source. As an ion-pairing agent, trifluoroacetic acid (TEA) reduces ESI signals in the positive ion mode and may completely suppress ionization in the negative ion mode. TEA is often used for peptides and protein analysis with a level of less than 0.1 %. 

With formic and carbonic acid as potential chain transfer agents, termination would involve the proton of the undissociated acid, but HCOO" and HOCOO were very poor nucleophiles and did not reinitiate the polymerization. This amounted to an overall inhibition or retardation of the formaldehyde polymerization. 2 mole % of COj inhibited formaldehyde polymerization completely [29], as did other inorganic or organic acids which gave poorly nucleophilic anions. Higher organic acid concentration may cause cationic polymerization. 

Chemical activated Field Demonstration Plant "FDP tests has also been executed for the production of activated carbon from sawdust, involving mixing an inorganic chemical compound with the carbonaceous raw material such as activating agents phosphoric acid and zinc chloride at lower temperature. However, use of zinc chloride poses the danger of zinc traces in the end-product, therefore - although technically is available - steam activation is used.
