Lead, separation from

Aluminum babbitt has been a U.S. alternative (6,20). On cooling this molten material, 8% lead separates from the aluminum as globules at the surface for improved antiscoring properties. More recendy, a sintered lead—alurninum containing 8.5% lead, 4% siUcon, 1.5% tin, and 0.5% copper has been developed for automotive use.

Glassy polymers from fabrics with more than 15% lead separate from the 8ubstrate usually as brittle flakes. When these brittle flakes are removed an etched replica of the fabric shape and weave pattern remains on the substrate. This etched substrate surface shows no lead when examined by ESCA. Thus there is only diffusion of silica from the substrate to the lead carbon cellulosic matrix without reciprocal diffusion of lead into the original silica sub-strate The higher the lead content of the fabric the smoother is the surface of the new glassy material. However the fabric weave pattern is still visible in all glassy products.

Dilute acid leaching was taken to teat the magnetic concentrate to remove lead. Under certain conditions, lead content of leached concentrate decreased to 0.19%, which can basically met the requirements for iron ore concentrate in the steel industry. The mechanism of lead separation from the leached ore was die dissolution of lead sulfate and lead oxide after reacting wifli hydrochloric acid during the leaching process. 

Prior to about 1920, flotation procedures were rather crude and rested primarily on the observation that copper and lead-zinc ore pulps (crushed ore mixed with water) could be benefacted (improved in mineral content) by treatment with large amounts of fatty and oily materials. The mineral particles collected in the oily layer and thus could be separated from the gangue and the water. Since then, oil flotation has been largely replaced by froth or foam flotation. Here, only minor amounts of oil or surfactant are used and a froth is formed by agitating or bubbling air through the suspension. The oily froth or foam is concentrated in mineral particles and can be skimmed off as shown schematically in Fig. XIII-4. 

The reactions which have been observed arc well separated from the reactions which arc expected to have no or a low yield. The reaaions leading to the preferred regioisomer arc projected into the upper part of the Kohonen map, whereas the reactions of the non-preferred regioisomer arc projected into the lower part of the Kohonen map. 

Lead formate separates from aqueous solution without water of crystallisation. It can therefore be used for the preparation of anhydrous formic acid. For this purpose, the powdered lead formate is placed in the inner tube of an ordinary jacketed cond ser, and there held loosely in position by plugs of glass-wool. The condenser is then clamped in an oblique position and the lower end fitted into a receiver closed with a calcium chloride tube. A current of dry hydrogen sulphide is passed down the inner tube of the condenser, whilst steam is passed through the jacket. The formic acid which is liberated... 

Separations based upon differences in the chemical properties of the components. Thus a mixture of toluene and anihne may be separated by extraction with dilute hydrochloric acid the aniline passes into the aqueous layer in the form of the salt, anihne hydrochloride, and may be recovered by neutralisation. Similarly, a mixture of phenol and toluene may be separated by treatment with dilute sodium hydroxide. The above examples are, of comse, simple apphcations of the fact that the various components fah into different solubihty groups (compare Section XI,5). Another example is the separation of a mixture of di-n-butyl ether and chlorobenzene concentrated sulphuric acid dissolves only the w-butyl other and it may be recovered from solution by dilution with water. With some classes of compounds, e.g., unsaturated compounds, concentrated sulphuric acid leads to polymerisation, sulphona-tion, etc., so that the original component cannot be recovered unchanged this solvent, therefore, possesses hmited apphcation. Phenols may be separated from acids (for example, o-cresol from benzoic acid) by a dilute solution of sodium bicarbonate the weakly acidic phenols (and also enols) are not converted into salts by this reagent and may be removed by ether extraction or by other means the acids pass into solution as the sodium salts and may be recovered after acidification. Aldehydes, e.g., benzaldehyde, may be separated from liquid hydrocarbons and other neutral, water-insoluble hquid compounds by shaking with a solution of sodium bisulphite the aldehyde forms a sohd bisulphite compound, which may be filtered off and decomposed with dilute acid or with sodium bicarbonate solution in order to recover the aldehyde. 

Other sulfur compounds such as thiourea, ammonium dithiocarbamate, or hydrogen sulfide also lead to 2-mercaptothiazoles. Thus thiourea has been used in the syntheses of 4,5-dimethyl (369) and 4-aryl-2-mercapto-thiazoles (Table 11-30) (519). The reactions were carried out by condensing the ia -thiocyanatoketones with thiourea in alcohol and water acidified with hydrochloric acid. By this procedure, 4-aryl-2-mercaptothiazoles were obtained in yields of 40 to 80% with bis-(4-aryl-2-thiazolyl) sulfides as by-products (519). These latter products (194) have also been observed as a result of the action of thiourea on 2-chloro-4-arylthiazole under the same experimental conditions. They can be separated from 2-mercaptothiazoles because of their different degrees of solubility in sodium hydroxide solution at 5%. In this medium bis-(4-phenyl-2-thiazolyl)sulfide is... 

Because alkylation of ammonia can lead to a complex mixture of products it is used to prepare primary amines only when the starting alkyl halide is not particularly expensive and the desired amine can be easily separated from the other components of the reaction mixture... 

A typical flow diagram for pentaerythritol production is shown in Figure 2. The main concern in mixing is to avoid loss of temperature control in this exothermic reaction, which can lead to excessive by-product formation and/or reduced yields of pentaerythritol (55,58,59). The reaction time depends on the reaction temperature and may vary from about 0.5 to 4 h at final temperatures of about 65 and 35°C, respectively. The reactor product, neutralized with acetic or formic acid, is then stripped of excess formaldehyde and water to produce a highly concentrated solution of pentaerythritol reaction products. This is then cooled under carefully controlled crystallization conditions so that the crystals can be readily separated from the Hquors by subsequent filtration. 

Ore Dressing. The principal lead mineral, galena, in most cmde ores, is separated from the valueless components, or gangue. Other valuable minerals that are present in the ore may be recovered either together with the lead, or in a separate step (2,3). Occasionally, the ores are sufftciendy rich in lead and low in impurities to be smelted direcdy. 

Sulfide collectors ia geaeral show Htfle affinity for nonsulfide minerals, thus separation of one sulfide from another becomes the main issue. The nonsulfide collectors are in general less selective and this is accentuated by the large similarities in surface properties between the various nonsulfide minerals (42). Some examples of sulfide flotation are copper sulfides flotation from siUceous gangue sequential flotation of sulfides of copper, lead, and zinc from complex and massive sulfide ores and flotation recovery of extremely small (a few ppm) amounts of precious metals. Examples of nonsulfide flotation include separation of sylvite, KCl, from haUte, NaCl, which are two soluble minerals having similar properties selective flocculation—flotation separation of iron oxides from siUca separation of feldspar from siUca, siUcates, and oxides phosphate rock separation from siUca and carbonates and coal flotation. 

Minor amounts of tantalum, tin, lead, bismuth, and other elements also occur ia the ferroniobium. After cooling for 12—30 h, the metal is separated from the slag and cmshed and si2ed for shipment. The recovery of niobium ia the alurninothermic reaction is 87—93%. Larger reactions generally give better recoveries. 

Iron Reduction. The reduction of nitrophenols with iron filings or turnings takes place in weakly acidic solution or suspension (30). The aminophenol formed is converted to the water soluble sodium aminopheno1 ate by adding sodium hydroxide before the iron-iron oxide sludge is separated from the reaction mixture (31). Adjustment of the solution pH leads to the precipitation of aminophenols, a procedure performed in the absence of air because the salts are very susceptible to oxidation in aqueous solution.
