Irons finds

Pure iron, when needed, is produced on a relatively small scale by the reduction of the pure oxide or hydroxide with hydrogen, or by the carbonyl process in which iron is heated with carbon monoxide under pressure and the Fe(CO)5 so formed decomposed at 250°C to give the powdered metal. However, it is not in the pure state but in the form of an enormous variety of steels that iron finds its most widespread uses, the world s annual production being over 700 million tonnes.

The oxyacids of pentavalent phosphorus are surprisingly numerous, and their chemistry is very complex. These considerations have only begun to be appreciated in recent years, when research has been stimulated by the discovery of important applications for the salts of these acids. The main application of the soluble phosphates is in water conditioning. Many of them possess the property of combining with calcium and magne- sium ions to form extremely stable soluble complexes that do not give precipitates with soap and do not deposit scale in boilers. Similar complexes are formed with iron, and stable soluble phosphates of iron find application in nutrition. Other uses for soluble phosphates are found in the textile industry, paints, and insecticide sprays.

As a case in point, a search for the smallest set of smallest rings (SSSR) will find iO thrcc-mcmbcrcd rings in ferrocene thus represented, and will miss the two fivc-membered rings. A new representation has to account for all the electrons on the iron (figure 2-51b).

Fumarates. lron(Il) fumarate [141 -01 -5], Fe(C4H20, is prepared by mixing hot aqueous solutions of sodium fumarate and iron(Il) sulfate followed by filtration of the resulting slurry. It has limited solubiUty in water but is more soluble in acid solution. The compound is red-orange to red-brown and finds uses as a hematinic. A non stoichiometric compound [7705-12-6] and iron(Ill) fumarate [52118-11-3], Fe2(C4H20 3, are also available. 

Industrial production is by reduction of the corresponding nitrophenol with iron or hydrazine (167,168). 2-Amino-4,6-dichlorophenol finds important use as an azo-dye intermediate (see Azo dyes). 

The goal of most scrap tire utilization projects is to find markets for scrap tires so that they do not end up in landfills or on stockpiles. Ironically, one potentially significant use of tires is in the constmction and management of landfills. Both shredded and whole scrap tires have been approved in various states for use in constmcting leachate beds in landfills. Approval has also been given in some states for the use of shredded tire material as a partial replacement for required daily cover (42). 

Lac became an important component of decorative and protective finishes by the nineteenth century. It is ironic that the success of shellac led to the synthetic resin industry. Baekeland developed phenoHc resins while trying to find a substitute for shellac. 

Cemented tungsten carbides also find use as a support for polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting tips, or as a matrix alloy with cobalt, nickel, copper, and iron, ia which diamond particles are embedded. These tools are employed ia a variety of iadustries including mineral exploration and development oil and gas exploration and production and concrete, asphalt, and dimension stone cutting. 

Cerium/Rare Earth. Cerium 2-ethyIhexanoate [56797-01-4] and rare-earth driers promote polymerization and through dry. Like iron they are active at elevated temperature and, since they do not contribute to film discoloration, are recommended for white bake finishes and overprint varnishes where color is critical. Rare earths also find use at the other end of the temperature spectmm in coatings dried at low temperature and high humidity. 

The molecular absoi ption spectra, registered at a lower temperature (e.g. 700 °C for iodide or chloride of potassium or sodium), enable one to find the absorbance ratio for any pair of wavelengths in the measurement range. These ratios can be used as a correction factor for analytical signal in atomic absoi ption analysis (at atomization temperatures above 2000 °C). The proposed method was tested by determination of beforehand known silicon and iron content in potassium chloride and sodium iodide respectively. The results ai e subject to random error only.
