NAPLs

Planet Uranus) Yellow-colored glass, containing more than 1% uranium oxide and dating back to 79 A.D., has been found near Naples, Italy. Klaproth recognized an unknown element in pitchblende and attempted to isolate the metal in 1789. 

Lead antimonate [13510-89-9] (Naples yellow), Pb2(Sb0 2> mol wt 993.07, d = 6.58g/cm, is an orange-yeUow powder that is insoluble in water and dilute acids, but very slightly soluble in hydrochloric acid. Lead antimonates are modifiers for ferroelectric lead titanates, pigments in oil-base paints, and colorants for glasses and glazes (see Colorants for ceramics). They are made by the reaction of lead nitrate and potassium antimonate solutions, followed by concentration and crystallization. 

Nonaqueous phase Hquids (NAPLs) present special problems for soil and ground water cleanup. Contaminant transport through ground water depends in part on the water solubiHty of the compound. Because NAPLs cling to subsurface particles and are slow to dissolve in ground water, they hinder cleanups and prolong cleanup times. Dense nonaqueous phase Hquids (DNAPLs) migrate downward in the aquifer and can coUect in pools or pockets of the substmcture. Examples of DNAPLs are the common solvents tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) which were used extensively at many faciHties before the extent of subsurface contamination problems was realized. 

In 1606 Gioavanni Battista della Porta of Naples performed two experiments that formed the basis for steam engines. He proved that steam could develop pressure by expelling water from a sealed container. In the next experiment a steam-filled flask was inrmersed neck down in water. As the cooling steam condensed, water flowed upward into the flask, proving that a vacuum had been created.
