There is no indication of a release of Zn from the sediments during the development of anoxia, unlike the release of phosphate and dissolved silicate. Zn bound to algal material may be dissolved upon mineralization of this material and Zn bound to manganese oxides upon dissolution of manganese oxides. It appears, however, that Zn is efficiently retained in the sediments, probably through bonding to other less soluble particles, such as iron oxides and silica parts of diatoms. In the presence of sulfide, Zn is probably retained in association with sulfide-containing particles. 

It has been reported that by heating in the presence of water vapor, silicon can be incorporated into the lattice of y-Fe203 (55,64). It is unlikely that this effect occurs under the butene oxidation conditions since a physical mixture of large size iron oxide and silica gel retains its selectivity for butadiene after a prolonged reaction time without any indication of changes in the catalyst. If silicon substitution takes place, the water from the oxidation reaction could catalyze the substitution. In fact, deliberate pretreatment of such a physical mixture with water vapor before reaction does not change the activity or selectivity (54). 

Hobson and Campbell reported that the Mossbauer spectrum of a sample of iron oxide on silica gel, which has been calcined at 500°C for 16 hr, showed (65) a small chemical isomer shift of 0.29 mm see -1 and an unusually large quadrupole splitting of 1.87 mm sec-1. This splitting was noted to be larger than 1.60 mm sec-1 calculated by Flinn et al. (17) for a ferric ion in an octahedral environment with 1 oxygen atom missing but less than 2.26 mm sec -1 calculated for the... 

The Mossbauer spectrum of ferrous Y-zeolite is somewhat similar to that of the reduced silica gel samples (103). The spectrum consists of two overlapping and partially resolved doublets with the inner doublet, 3 = 0.89 mm sec-1 and A = 0.62 mm sec-1, being attributed to the ferrous ion on the surface. In both the Y-zeolite and the reduced iron oxide on silica samples, the inner doublets representing surface ferrous states are the first to be affected by adsorption of polar molecules, but in the case of Y-zeolite the addition of excess amounts of water or ammonia causes the disappearance of the spectrum, and this has been interpreted in terms of "solvation of the ferrous ions by absorbate causing weakening of the bonding to the crystalline lattice. It is also possible that the spectrum is a composite representing a multiplicity of parameters. 

The concentrate or the rich sulfide ore is then roasted in a furnace through wiiich air is passing. This removes some of the sulfur as sulfur dioxide, and leaves a mixture of Cir.S, FeO, SiO, and other substances. This roasted ore is then mixed with limestone to serve as a flux, and is heated in a furnace. The iron oxide and silica combine with the limestone to form a slag, and the cuprous sulfide melts and can be drawn off. This impure cuprous sulfide is called matte. It is then reduced by blearing air tlirough the molten material ... 

Silicon contaminated with carbon can be obtained by reduction ot silica, SiOs, with carbon in an electric furnace. An alloy of iron and silicon, called ferrosilicon, is obtained by reducing a mixture of iron oxide and silica with carbon. 

The structural relations between the many crystalline forms of aluminium oxide and hydroxide are exceedingly complex but they are of exceptional scientific interest and immense technological importance. The principal structural types are listed in Table 7.8 and many intermediate and related structures are also known. AI2O3 occurs as the mineral corundum (ot-Al203, cJ 4.0gcm ) and as emery, a granular form of corundum contaminated with iron oxide and silica. Because of its great hardness (Mohs... 

Aluminum oxide (AI2O3, alumina, corundum) is the most widely used inorganic chemical for ceramics and is produced from the mineral bauxite using the Bayer process. Bauxite is a mixture of hydrated aluminum oxide with iron oxide (Fe203), silica (SiOi), and titania (TiOi) impurities. It results from the decay and weathering of aluminous rocks, often igneous, under tropical conditions. Like kaolin, bauxite occurs as both primary deposits and secondary deposits. 

The liquid phase formed due to local eutectic, accelerate the calcium carbonate decomposition and the reactions of calcium oxide with silica, as well as with alumina and iron oxides. 

Electrowinning of Aluminum. Aluminum, the most abundant metal in the Earth s crust, did not become readily available commercially until the development of the Hall-Heroult process. This process involves electrolysis of dry aluminum oxide (alumina) dissolved in cryolite (sodium aluminum hexafluoride). Additional calcium fluoride is used to lower the melting point of the cryolite. The process runs at about 960 degrees Celsius and uses carbon electrodes. The alumina for the Hall-Heroult process is obtained from an ore called bauxite, an impure aluminum oxide with varying amounts of compounds such as iron oxide and silica. The preparation of pure alumina follows the Bayer process The alumina is extracted from the bauxite as a solution in sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), reprecipitated by acidification, filtered, and dried. The electrolysis cell has a carbon coating at the bottom that forms a cathode.

Temperature Programmed Reduction TPR was used to determine the extent of the interaction between the iron(III) oxide phase and the silica support. It is well known that during reduction part of the iron reacts with silica to form iron(II) silicate [7]. Formation of iron(II) silicate only pnx eeds, if the two phases are in intimate contact. Iron(II) silicate only reduces at temperatures far above 850°C. The amount of iron(II) silicate can be estimated from the total hydrogen consumption up to 850 C. The fraction (F) of iron oxide intimately contacting the silica is given by... 

The occurrence of amorphous silica in soil clays appears to be associated frequently with parent material for instance, it is commonly observed in New Zealand soils of volcanic origin (Fieldes and Swindale [1954]). The clay from the A2 horizon of a Kaieri podzol (Fieldes and Williamson [1955]) provides an unusual example, consisting essentially of silica, an appreciable proportion of which is amorphous. The silica, in addition, tends to be grouped into very thin sheets in contrast to the clustered aggregates noted when silica gel is associated with aluminum and iron oxides. Hydrated silica gel has also been reported in Japanese soils developed on pumice (Kanno [1959] Matsui [1959]), but the morphology is not described.

Both the Toth and Alcoa processes provide aluminum chloride for subsequent reduction to aluminum. Pilot-plant tests of these processes have shown difficulties exist in producing aluminum chloride of the purity needed. In the Toth process for the production of aluminum chloride, kaolin [1332-58-7] clay is used as the source of alumina (5). The clay is mixed with sulfur and carbon, and the mixture is ground together, pelletized, and calcined at 700°C. The calcined mixture is chlorinated at 800°C and gaseous aluminum chloride is evolved. The clay used contains considerable amounts of silica, titania, and iron oxides, which chlorinate and must be separated. Silicon tetrachloride and titanium tetrachloride are separated by distillation. Resublimation of aluminum chloride is requited to reduce contamination from iron chloride.
