Iodide decomposition

CVD developed slowly in the next fifty years and was limited mostly to extraction and pyrometallurgy for the production of high-purity refractory metals such as tantalum, titanium, and zirconium. Several classical CVD reactionswere developedatthattimeincludingthecarbonyl cycle (the Mond process), the iodide decomposition (the de Boer-Van Arkelprocess)andthemagnesium-reduction reaction (the Kroll process). 

Magnesium chloride and excess magnesium are removed by distillation at reduced pressure. Pure zirconium may be prepared by several methods that include iodide decomposition process, zone refining, and electron beam melting. Also, Zr metal may be electrorefined in a molten salt bath of potassium zirconium fluoride, K2ZrFe... 

Molecular Statistics of the Bimolecular Hydrogen Iodide Decomposition. The theory of activation by collision. 

When the comparison of the two values of E is made for the hydrogen iodide decomposition, practically identical values, namely 44,400 and 44,000 calories, are obtained. 

For the hydrogen iodide decomposition the heat of activation is 25,000 calories. This is very considerably lower than the value 44,000 calories associated with the homogeneous reaction. 

A small scale sulphur iodine process loop made of Pyrex glass was built and operated. The sulphuric acid section and Bunsen reaction section was operated successfully in 2006. In 2008, hydrogen iodide decomposition aided by electro-dialysis (EED) (Hong, 2007) was demonstrated to produce 3.5 litres per... 

A comprehensive picture of alkyl iodides pyrolyses has been presented by Benson124. These substrates are sensitive and difficult to handle in homogeneous molecular HI elimination studies and this is the reason for the comparatively few gas-phase investigations. Concurrent radical and unimolecular mechanisms are frequently observed in organic iodides decomposition.

There are two main issues concerning the chemistry of the reaction and the separation. One is how to separate the hydriodic acid and sulfuric acid produced by the Bimsen reaction. The other is how to carry out the hydrogen iodide decomposition section, where the presence of azeotrope in the vapor-liquid equilibrium of hydriodic acid makes the energy-efficient separation of HI from its aqueous solution difficult and also unfavorable reaction equilibrium limits the attainable conversion ratio of HI to a low level, ca. 20%. 

In (92), there is a four-center exchange of a bonds. In principle, six-center trimolecular reactions involving three diatomic molecules could be in this group, providing only o bonds are permitted. Although several elementary reactions of the type (92) have been studied (Glasstone et al., 1941), there appear to be few gas-phase processes which follow this indicated mechanism. The once-classical example of a bimolecular reaction, i.e. hydrogen iodide decomposition (93), is actually a multistep...
