Inorganics, solubility mixtures

Although the third component of these systems is usually a single inorganic salt, mixtures of two or more salts have been studied, and some research has been done with third components of low vapor pressure (18,19). Some qualitative studies have been done on salt effect in vapor-liquid equilibrium with salts which are either soluble in only one or both components, hygroscopic or non-hygro-scopic, etc. 

The high sodium ion concentration results in facile crystallisation of the sodium salt. This process of salting out with common salt may be used for recrystallisation, but sodium benzenesulphonate (and salts of other acids of comparable molecular weight) is so very soluble in water that the solution must be almost saturated with sodium chloride and consequently the product is likely to be contaminated with it. In such a case a pure product may be obtained by crystallisation from, or Soxhlet extraction with, absolute alcohol the sul-phonate is slightly soluble but the inorganic salts are almost insoluble. Very small amounts of sulphones are formed as by-products, but since these are insoluble in water, they separate when the reaction mixture is poured into water ... 

The essential basis of the scheme for the separation of water-soluble compounds is, therefore, distillation of (a) an aqueous solution of the mixture, (b) an alkaline (with sodium hydroxide) solution of the mixture, and (c) an acidic (with sulphuric oj phosphoric acid) solution of the mixture. The residue will contain the non-volatile components, which must be separated from inorganic salts and from each other by any suitable process. 

Zirconium trifluoride [13814-22-7], ZrP, was first prepared by the fluorination of ZrH2 using a mixture of H2 and anhydrous HP at 750°C (2). It can also be prepared by the electrolysis of Zr metal in KF—NaF melts (3). Zirconium trifluoride is stable at ambient temperatures but decomposes at 300°C. It is slightly soluble in hot water and readily soluble in inorganic acids. This compound is of academic interest rather than of any industrial importance. 

Hitec Heat-Transfer Salt. Hitec heat-transfer salt, manufactured by Coastal Chemical Co., is an eutectic mixture of water-soluble inorganic salts potassium nitrate (53%), sodium nitrite (40%), and sodium nitrate (7%). It is suitable for Hquid-phase heat transfer at temperatures of 150—540°C. 

The reactions are generally run at room temperature or below. With steroids the product is usually isolated by addition of the reaction mixture to water followed by filtration or extraction. The inorganic product of the reaction, chromium III, is soluble in neutral or aqueous acid solutions and can be removed by washing. When steroidal amines are oxidized, the work-up is usually modified such that the steroid may be extracted from the insoluble basic chromium III salts. °... 

The alcoholic ethereal filtrate is then dried over calcined potassium carbonate and the solution evaporated, whereby 0.9 to 1 part of a mixture of d-lysergic acid-d-l-hydroxybutyl-amide-2 and of d-isolysergic acid-d-l-hvdroxvbutylamide-2 is obtained. In order to separate the isomers, the residue is dissolved in 15 parts of hot chloroform and filtered from the small quantity of inorganic salt, whereby on cooling down, the difficultly soluble chloroform compound of d-lysergic acid-d-l hvdroxvbutylamide-2 crystallizes out. Yield 0.4 part. This compound can be recrystallized from hot benzene, whereby crystals melting... 

This process is highly suitable for rubbers with poor solubility. In this process, the rubber sheet is soaked in TEOS or quite often in TEOS-solvent mixture and the in situ sUica generation is conducted by either acid or base catalysis. The sol-gel reaction is normally carried out at room temperature. Kohjiya et al. [29-31] have reported various nonpolar mbber-silica hybrid nanocomposites based on this technique. The network density of the rubber influences the swelling behavior and hence controls the silica formation. It is very likely that there has been a graded silica concentration from surface to the bulk due to limited swelling of the rubber. This process has been predominantly used to prepare ionomer-inorganic hybrids by Siuzdak et al. [48-50]. 

The above mixture is incubated. The water-soluble salt contaminants would transfer from the fossil fuel into the aqueous phase during the procedure. Secondly, the biocatalytic agent would selectively break C—S bonds in the sulfur-bearing molecules to form water-soluble inorganic sulfur molecules. Both of these reactions occur without depleting the fossil fuel of combustible organic molecules and... 

Colloids are suspended particles in a solution medium and will not settle out over time. They are common in natural waters and can enhance the apparent solubility of a wide range of water pollutants, both organic and inorganic. Colloids maybe considered as an extension of the solid and aqueous phases and are formed by conditions that can be quite variable in time and space hence colloids can be dynamic. The composition of colloids can vary with the composition of the solid and aqueous phases. Colloids can be made up of organic, inorganic, or a mixture of materials. 

In these syntheses based upon direct sulfonation, the reaction mixture should be neutralized at the appropriate reaction time this is usually achieved with concentrated NaOH or KOH solutions [1-3] with the concomitant production of lots of inorganic sulfates. The less soluble monosulfonated products can be crystallized and the raw products contain Na2S04 or K2SO4. 

For adequate reaction rates, a high concentration of iodide anion is necessary. The cation portion of the salt appears to have little or no effect on catalytic activity or reaction selectivity. Inorganic iodides (such as potassium iodide) are the obvious first choice based on availability and cost. Unfortunately these catalysts have very poor solubility in the reaction mixture without added solubilizers or polar, aprotic solvents. These solubilizers (e.g., crown ethers) and solvents are not compatible with the desired catalyst recovery system using an alkane solvent. Quaternary onium iodides however combine the best properties of solubility and reactivity.
