Nitrate addition

These can be converted to their uranyl nitrate addition compounds. The crude or partially purified ester is saturated with uranyl nitrate solution and the adduct filtered off. It is recrystallised from -hexane, toluene or ethanol. For the more soluble members crystallisation from hexane using low temperatures (-40°) has been successful. The adduct is decomposed by shaking with sodium carbonate solution and water, the solvent is steam distilled (if hexane or toluene is used) and the ester is collected by filtration. Alternatively, after decomposition, the organic layer is separated, dried with CaCl or BaO, filtered, and fractionally distilled under high vacuum. 

Silver salts demonstrate how complexation enhances solubility. Figure 18-13 shows that silver will precipitate or dissolve in aqueous solution depending on the species that are present. Starting with a solution of silver nitrate, addition of aqueous NaCl causes AgCl to precipitate ... 

Nitrate can be added as different salts, e.g., Ca(N03)2, well known as a fertilizer product. Inflow of nitrate into a treatment plant and into receiving waters should typically be avoided. The rate of nitrate addition to the wastewater must be controlled (Bentzen et al., 1995 Einarsen et al., 2000). 

The effectiveness of nitrate addition to control sulfide has been investigated in a sewer network in the Lake Balaton catchment, Hungary (Jobbagy et al., 1994). Figure 6.6 shows the effect of nitrate addition on the H2S concentration in the headspace of a manhole located downstream of the station where nitrate was added. The importance of the anoxic removal of organic matter at the inlet...

Several additives were tested with a series of explosives in order to enhance ESI intensities [15—17]. Nitramine and nitrate ester explosives showed enhanced response for ammonium nitrate additive, by forming [M + NOs] adduct ions in the negative-ion mode. Nitrate adduct ions were more intense than trifluoroacetate (TFA) or chloride adduct ions by a factor of 6-40. The base peak in the negative-ion mass spectrum of TNT, with 1 mM ammonium nitrate in the mobile phase was at m/z 226 due to the [M-H] ion. 

Vanadium Nitrates.—No nitrates of vanadium have been isolated. When hypovanadic oxide is dissolved in nitric acid the blue solution which results probably contains vanadyl nitrate, V0(N03)2, but on evaporation oxidation ensues and hydrated vanadium pentoxide is obtained. Blue solutions of vanadyl nitrate arc more conveniently obtained by precipitating vanadyl chloride with silver nitrate or vanadyl sulphate with barium nitrate. Addition of nitric acid to hexammino-vanadium trichloride yields hexammino-vanadium nitrate,10 [V (NH3)6](N03)3. 

In the dual-pressure process, low to medium pressure gases (0.3 to 0.6 MPa) containing nitrogen oxides are compressed to 1.1 to 1.5 MPa for efficient absorption in water to make nitric acid. Because of the potential for unreacted ammonia from the converter to combine with nitric acid to form ammonium nitrate, additional operating and safety precautions are necessary to deal with the accumulation of ammonium nitrate solids. One reported solution is a periodic injection of steam to parts of the compressor (see Figure 9.3)104. 

It is rather important to note that if an aromatic nitro compound is the substance being nitrated, addition of mercuric nitrate to the nitric acid has no effect on the reaction. For example, nitrobenzene is nitrated to dinitrobezene in the same yield both in the presence of a mercury salt and in its absence. This can be explained by the fact that nitro compounds such as nitrobenzene do not yield addition product with mercuric salts.

Use of nitrate as an alternative electron acceptor for in situ treatment in an anaerobic biorestoration field demonstration project was reported by researchers from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (54, 55). A shallow aquifer contaminated with jet fuel spill was the study site in which BTX removal by nitrate addition, along with other essential nutrients, was examined. Significant depletion of benzene, toluene, and m- and p-xylenes (but not o-xylene) were observed. Benzene loss was attributed to oxygen, whereas toluene and xylene losses appeared to be related to the nitrate and nutrient additions (54, 55).
