Iron nitrate nitration with

During the course of studying the effect of crystallite sizes, attempts were made to produce very small unsupported iron oxide powders by lowering the calcination temperature of the iron hydroxyl gel that was precipitated from iron nitrate with ammonium hydroxide. However, catalysts calcined below 300°C still contain hydroxide, and they show high selectivity in butadiene production. For this reason, two catalysts, calcined at 250°C and 300°C, respectively, were studied in more detail. 

The phenoldisulphonic acid thus prepared is then nitrated in conventional iron nitrators with a jacket and a stirrer. 1000-2000 kg of sulphophenol may be nitrated at a time. From 100 parts of phenol 205 parts of picric acid can be obtained. 

Where more selective oxidations are required, oxidants such as (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-l-yl)oxyl (free radical) (TEMPO) 12 have been successfully employed, as illustrated in Scheme 6.7, for the bleach 13 oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes.Other homogeneous oxidants employed under flow conditions include oxone and iron nitrate, " with Koch et al. using the periodic acid/H2S04 mediated oxidative deprotection of / -methoxyphenyl protected amines. 

Procedure B. Pipette 25 mL of the diluted solution into a 250 mL conical flask containing 5mL 6 M nitric acid. Add a slight excess of standard 0.1M silver nitrate (about 30 mL in all) from a burette. Then add 2-3 mL pure nitrobenzene and 1 mL of the iron(III) indicator, and shake vigorously to coagulate the precipitate. Titrate the residual silver nitrate with standard 0.1M thiocyanate until a permanent faint reddish-brown coloration appears. 

Procedure. Weigh out accurately an amount of the salt which will contain about 0.25 g of chromium, and dissolve it in 50 mL distilled water. Add 20 mL of ca 0.1 M silver nitrate solution, followed by 50 mL of a 10 per cent solution of ammonium or potassium persulphate. Boil the liquid gently for 20 minutes. Cool, and dilute to 250 mL in a graduated flask. Remove 50 mL of the solution with a pipette, add 50 mL of a 0.1 M ammonium iron(II) sulphate solution (Section 10.97, Procedure A), 200 mL of 1M sulphuric acid, and 0.5 mL of /V-phenylanthranilic acid indicator. Titrate the excess of the iron(II) salt with standard 0.02M potassium dichromate until the colour changes from green to violet-red. 

The mechanism of the reaction has not been elucidated. Presumably several reactions occur simultaneously. Thiocyanates react with iron(III) salts with the formation of red-colored complexes. In sulfuric acid medium nitrate or nitrite coddize diphenylamine to... 

The direct conversion of styrene to P-nitrostyrene using clay doped with nitrate salts has been reported. Styrene and clayfen (iron nitrate on clay) or clayan (ammonium nitrate on clay) are mixed well and then heated at 100-110 °C in solid state to give P-nitrostyrene in 68% yield.551 A more simple one-pot synthesis of P-nitrostyrene from styrene has been reported P-nitrostyrene is prepared in 47% yield on treatment of styrene with CuO HBF4,12, andNaN02 in MeCN at room temperature.55b... 

The spent fuel element is still mainly UO2 and is dissolved in aqueous nitric acid, which is oxidizing enough to take the uranium to the VI oxidation state as UC>22+(aq) and Pu to Pu4+(aq) (the uranyl ion U022+ can be regarded as hydrolyzed U6+ see Section 13.6). Treatment of the solution of uranyl and plutonium(IV) nitrates with either an iron(II) salt or SO2 will reduce all the Pu to Pu3+(aq), which is not extractable with TBP, but will leave the uranium(VI) untouched (see Exercise 15.5). The solution is then equilibrated with TBP (which is immiscible with water) or TBP in an alkane solvent. The U022+ forms a neutral complex containing both TBP and the nitrate ions, which axe present in large excess ... 

The cast iron nitrators used in the U.S.A. are equipped with mechanical stirrers (Fig. 16). 

The reference material CoFe204 was obtained by calcination of a mixture of cobalt(II) nitrate and iron(III) nitrate with the same ratio as above lCo 2Fe. The calcination was carried out at 650° C for 72 hours. Phase purity was controlled by powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD). 

Step (i), the formation of [Fe(NO)2(SH)2] by reaction of nitrite (e.g., from groundwater or by reduction of nitrate) with preformed iron-sulfur clusters, is known to proceed readily (107,108), and step (ii), the conversion of [Fe(NO)2(SH)2] to [Fe4S3(NO)7] under appropriate conditions of pH, has also been demonstrated (23) (cf. also Scheme 4). 

A powder which burns with a green flame is obtained by the addition of nitrate of baryta to chlorate of potash, nitrate of potash, acetate of copper. A white flame is made by the addition of sulfide of antimony, sulfide of arsenic, camphor. Red by the mixture of lampblack, coal, bone ash, mineral oxide of iron, nitrate of strontia, pumice stone, mica, oxide of cobalt. Blue with ivory, bismuth, alum, zinc, copper sulfate purified of its sea water [sic]. Yellow by amber, carbonate of soda, sulfate of soda, cinnabar. It is necessary in order to make the colors come out well to animate the combustion by adding chlorate of potash.15... 

In a typical example of the still process for the manufacture of bulk sporting powder, 500 pounds of pulped nitrocellulose (12.60% N) is placed in a vertical cast-iron still along with 700 gallons of water containing 2% of potassium nitrate and 6% of barium nitrate dissolved in it. The material is mixed thoroughly...
