Because both the black and the green materials contain aluminum oxide or hydroxide, a cause for the black color must be found. The amorphous copper material that shows in the EDAX results but not on the XRD pattern may be this cause. A possible source of the black color in corroded bronze is suggested by Gettens (13) in his study of the corrosion of an ancient Chinese fragment. He attributes a black color in the corrosion layers to the presence of tenorite (CuO) and states that because it is so amorphous, it gives indistinct diffraction patterns or none at all. In a later paper Gettens (14) repeats his belief that the dark product in bronze corrosion is tenorite and stresses the need for further analysis. Plenderleith (15) agrees that the dark material in bronze corrosion is tenorite, but much debate continues as evidenced by a more recently published discussion between corrosion scientists and museum conservators (16). 

Aluminum Minerals (Figure 6.8) Similarly, a large number of aluminum minerals are supersaturated in the sampled water. The sandstone and alluvium materials contain aluminum silicate minerals and clays, but these minerals are unlikely to be at equilibrium in groundwater due to kinetic inhibitions. The calculated SI for clays are again for end-members. In our samples, gibbsite or an amorphous analog appears to be the... 

The commercial sources of most metals are not silicates, however, because generally metals are not easily obtained from them. Despite the abundance and avail-abihty of clay, an economical method of producing aluminum from clay has yet to be discovered. The usual compounds from which metals are obtained are oxides (and hydroxides), sulfides, and carbonates. Aluminum, for example, is produced from bauxite, which is a material containing aluminum oxide hydroxide, AIO(OH), and aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH)3, along with iron oxides and silicates.

The word alum is derived from the Latin alumen, which was appHed to several astringent substances, most of which contained aluminum sulfate (20). Unfortunately, the term alum is now used for several different materials. Papermakers alum or simply alum refers to commercial aluminum sulfate. Common alum or ordinary alum usually refers to potash alum which can be written in the form K SO Al2(SO 24H20, or it can refer to ammonium alum, ammonium aluminum sulfate. The term is also appHed to a whole series of crystallised double sulfates [M(l)M (lII)(SO 2 12H20] having the same crystal stmcture as the common alums, in which sodium and other univalent metals may replace the potassium or ammonium, and other metals may replace the alurninum. Even the sulfate radical may be replaced, by selenate, for example. Some examples of alums are cesium alum [7784-17-OJ,... 

High thermal conductivity. Heat is carried through metals by collisions between electrons, which occur frequently. Saucepans used for cooking commonly contain aluminum, copper, or stainless steel their handles are made of a nonmetallic material that is a good thermal insulator. 

Read the label of the crystal drain cleaner package. Understand that the compound is solid sodium hydroxide that contains aluminum. When the material is added to water, sodium hydroxide dissolves rapidly, producing heat. Aluminum reacts with water in the basic solution to produce Al(OH)4 ions and hydrogen gas. Is aluminum oxidized or reduced in the reaction Is hydrogen oxidized or reduced in the reaction Explain your answers. 

Boric acid (H 3 BO 3) - a solid material that is a weak H donor -is sometimes used as a neutralizer for base-sensitive compositions. Mixtures containing aluminum metal and a nitrate salt are notably sensitive to excess hydroxide ion, and a small percentage of boric acid can be quite effective in stabilizing such compositions. 

The Soliditech reagent mix contains aluminum, barium, calcium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and sodium. The reagent mix may increase the concentrations of these metals in the final solidified product. The temperature of the treated waste should remain above freezing. The process is generally limited to wastes with pHs between 2 and 12. Wastes with pHs below 2 and above 12 require neutralization before treatment. If the treated material is not adequately mixed, unmixed clumps of waste material will appear in the solidified product. The long-term stability of the solidified product is unknown. 

The benzobisazole family of rigid-rod polymers is soluble in acidic solvents such as PPA, methanesulfonic acid, chlorosulfonic acid, 100% sulfuric acid and Lewis acid salts such as antimony trichloride and bismuth trichloride. More recently, PBZT has been reported [22] to form liquid crystalline solutions in nitromethane containing aluminum trichloride or gallium trichloride. Since the glass transition temperature of these materials is above their decomposition temperature, they must be processed from solution. 

The ability of mineralized soil to control the migration of aluminum was observed in another study. Acidic leachate from coal waste containing aluminum was percolated through soil containing varying amounts of calcium carbonate (Wangen and Jones 1984). Soluble aluminum was found to decrease dramatically as the pH of the percolating leachate increased and aluminum oxide precipitates formed at pH 6, no dissolved aluminum was measured. The authors concluded that alkalinized carbonaceous soils provide the best control material for acidic leachates from coal mineral wastes. 

Aluminum (Al) Aluminum is a silvery white metal with a relatively low density of 2.7 g/cm3. For this reason, aluminum is a popular material for construction. Alloying aluminum with other metals improves its strength. Elemental aluminum does not occur in nature, and must be synthesized by the energy-intensive Hall process. Compounds containing aluminum are found in antiperspirants (aluminum chloride) and antacids (aluminum hydroxide).
