Iron, copper

Solids materials that are insoluble in hydrocarbon or water can be entrained in the crude. These are called bottom sediments and comprise fine particles of sand, drilling mud, rock such as feldspar and gypsum, metals in the form of minerals or in their free state such as iron, copper, lead, nickel, and vanadium. The latter can come from pipeline erosion, storage tanks, valves and piping systems, etc. whatever comes in contact with the crude oil. 

Its conductivity increases slightly with exposure to light. It can be doped with silver, copper, gold, tin, or other elements. In air, tellurium burns with a greenish-blue flames, forming the dioxide. Molten tellurium corrodes iron, copper, and stainless steel. 

Analysis of Trace or Minor Components. Minor or trace components may have a significant impact on quaHty of fats and oils (94). Metals, for example, can cataly2e the oxidative degradation of unsaturated oils which results in off-flavors, odors, and polymeri2ation. A large number of techniques such as wet chemical analysis, atomic absorption, atomic emission, and polarography are available for analysis of metals. Heavy metals, iron, copper, nickel, and chromium are elements that have received the most attention. Phosphoms may also be detectable and is a measure of phosphoHpids and phosphoms-containing acids or salts. 

Compounds containing fluorine and chlorine are also donors to BF3. Aqueous fluoroboric acid and the tetrafluoroborates of metals, nonmetals, and organic radicals represent a large class of compounds in which the fluoride ion is coordinating with trifluoroborane. Representative examples of these compounds are given in Table 5. Coordination compounds of boron trifluoride with the chlorides of sodium, aluminum, iron, copper, 2inc, tin, and lead have been indicated (53) they are probably chlorotrifluoroborates. 

The food industry uses stainless steel tubing or piping extensively for moving food products conventional steel, cast iron, copper, plastic, glass (qv), aluminum, and other alloys are used for utilities. 

Metals. Transition-metal ions, such as iron, copper, manganese, and cobalt, when present even in small amounts, cataly2e mbber oxidative reactions by affecting the breakdown of peroxides in such a way as to accelerate further attack by oxygen (36). Natural mbber vulcani2ates are especially affected. Therefore, these metals and their salts, such as oleates and stearates, soluble in mbber should be avoided. 

Liquid sulfur dioxide discolors iron, copper, and brass at ca 300 ppm moisture and produces light scale at ca 0.1 wt % moisture and serious corrosion at ca 0.2 wt % or higher moisture content. Copper and brass can be used to handle wet sulfur dioxide where some corrosion can be tolerated, or where the moisture level is low. Wooden tanks are widely used for sulfurous acid preparation, handling, and storage. Sulfite pulp digestors are made of steel lined with acid-resistant brick. 

Iron, copper, arsenic, and antimony can be readily removed by the above pyrometaHurgical processes or variations of these (3). However, for the removal of large quantities of lead or bismuth, either separately or together, conventional electrolysis or a newly developed vacuum-refining process is used. The latter is now in use in Austraha, BoHvia, Mexico, and the CIS (5). 

AHoy scrap containing tin is handled by secondary smelters as part of their production of primary metals and alloys lead refineries accept solder, tin drosses, babbitt, and type metal. This type of scrap is remelted, impurities such as iron, copper, antimony, and zinc are removed, and the scrap is returned to the market as binary or ternary alloy. The dross obtained by cleaning up the scrap metal is returned to the primary refining process. 

Tin is used in various industrial appHcations as cast and wrought forms obtained by rolling, drawing, extmsion, atomizing, and casting tinplate, ie, low carbon steel sheet or strip roUed to 0.15—0.25 mm thick and thinly coated with pure tin tin coatings and tin alloy coatings appHed to fabricated articles (as opposed to sheet or strip) of steel, cast iron, copper, copper-base alloys, and aluminum tin alloys and tin compounds. 

The metal parts of the injection molder, ie, the liner, torpedo, and nozzle, that contact the hot molten resin must be of the noncatalytic type to prevent accelerated decomposition of the polymer. In addition, they must be resistant to corrosion by HCl. Iron, copper, and zinc are catalytic to the decomposition and caimot be used, even as components of alloys. Magnesium is noncatalytic but is subject to corrosive attack, as is chromium when used as plating. Nickel alloys such as Duranickel, HasteUoy B, and HasteUoy C are recommended as constmction materials for injection-molding metal parts. These and pure nickel are noncatalytic and corrosion-resistant however, pure nickel is rather soft and is not recommended. 

Boiler Deposits. Deposition is a principal problem in the operation of steam generating equipment. The accumulation of material on boiler surfaces can cause overheating and/or corrosion. Both of these conditions frequentiy result in unscheduled downtime. Common feed-water contaminants that can form boiler deposits include calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, aluminum, siUca, and (to a lesser extent) silt and oil. Most deposits can be classified as one of two types scale that crystallized directiy onto tube surfaces or sludge deposits that precipitated elsewhere and were transported to the metal surface by the flowing water. 

Human toxicity, aquatic toxicity, and the environmental impact of engine coolants and deicing fluids ate typically measured on the fresh fluid only. Spent fluids contain varied contaminants that can drastically affect the toxicity and environmental impact of the fluid. Most pronounced is the impact of heavy-metal contaminants in spent antifreeze. Data on spent and recycled antifreeze, compiled by the ASTM Committee on Engine Coolants, show an average lead level 11 ppm, as weU as various other metal contaminants (iron, copper, zinc) (18). The presence of these contaminants in a used fluid may require special disposal techniques for the fluids. 

Oxidation. Oxidized or blown castor oils are clear viscous oils that are made by the intimate mixing (blowing) of castor oil and air or oxygen at 80—130°C, with or without the use of a catalyst. The reaction is a combination of oxidation and polymerization promoted by transitionary metals like iron, copper, and manganese (60,61). The range of the properties of commercially available oils are given in Table 8. 

Agricultural Use. Citric acid and its ammonium salts are used to form soluble chelates of iron, copper, magnesium, manganese, and zinc micronutrients in Hquid fertilizers (97—103). Citric acid and citrate salts are used in animal feeds to form soluble, easily digestible chelates of essential metal nutrients, enhance feed flavor to increase food uptake, control gastric pH and improve feed efficiency. 

Data include production of calcium, cobalt, lead, manganese, iron, copper, and other salts, d. ... 

Mordant dyes have hydroxy groups in their molecular stmcture that are capable of forming complexes with metals. Although a variety of metals such as iron, copper, aluminum, and cobalt have been used, chromium is most preferable as a mordant. Alizarin or Cl Mordant Red 11 [72 8-0] (1) (Cl 58000), the principal component of the natural dye obtained from madder root, is the most typical mordant dye (see Dyes, natural). The aluminum mordant of alizarin is a well-known dye by the name of Turkey Red and was used to dye cotton and wool with excellent fastness. However, as is the case with many other mordant dyes, it gave way to the vat or the azoic dyes, which are applied by much simpler dyeing procedures. 

This procedure was tested in the analysis of pharmaceutical products Poltava s bishofite (series Elite and Profi ) and a brine of bischofite with rusty precipitate. The data bear out the sufficient accuracy and reproducibility of the proposed procedure which allows to perform the determination magnesium, iron, copper and zinc ions at concentrations above 10 M. It was found that the content of Mg ion in the studied brine decreases in comparison with Poltava s bishofite . The Fe, Cu and Zn ions were not detected in the brine. 

Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water No reaction Reactivity with Common Materials Reacts slowly with air, but heat may cause ignition of rags, rust or other combustibles Stability Owing Transport Stable if not in contaa with iron, copper or their alloys Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics Flush with water Polymerization Not pertinent Inhibitor of Polymerization Not pertinent. 

In addition to sodium, other metals have found application for the Wurtz coupling reaction, e.g. zinc, iron, copper, lithium, magnesium. The use of ultrasound can have positive effect on reactivity as well as rate and yield of this two-phase reaction aryl halides can then even undergo an aryl-aryl coupling reaction to yield biaryls. ... 

The sotrace elements, such as boron, cobalt, iron,copper, zinc, manganese, chromium, molybdenum and still others may also be used to advantage. Generally, these trace elements occur in sufficient quantities in the carbonaceous and nitrogenous constituents of the medium, particularly if derived from natural sources, or in the tap water, and the addition of further quantities of these trace elements may consequently be unnecessary. 

Discussion. Molybdates [Mo(VI)] are quantitatively reduced in 2M hydrochloric acid solution at 60-80 °C by the silver reductor to Mo(V). The reduced molybdenum solution is sufficiently stable over short periods of time in air to be titrated with standard cerium(IV) sulphate solution using ferroin or /V-phenylanthranilic acid as indicator. Nitric acid must be completely absent the presence of a little phosphoric(V) acid during the reduction of the molybdenum(VI) is not harmful and, indeed, appears to increase the rapidity of the subsequent oxidation with cerium(IV) sulphate. Elements such as iron, copper, and vanadium interfere nitrate interferes, since its reduction is catalysed by the presence of molybdates.
