Several hydrous oxides, such as those of aluminum, siTicon and, iron have been used to extract traces ions. Nevertheless, the sorption mechanism is not definitively established. Those oxides probably exhibit some ion exchange capacity among their properties and they can act as anionic or cationic exchangers and sometimes both. The separation of plutonium traces in the presence of HF by sorption onto an alumina column is based on its chemical similarities with thorium and lantanide elements reported by Abrao (2) In this case only thorium and rare earths are sorbed onto alumina from nitric acid-fluoride solutions while uranium remains in the effluent.

Thus nitric acid behaves as a base in hydrogen fluoride. Hence increases of conductivity when substances dissolve in hydrogen fluoride may be due to acidic or basic behaviour. 

Another aspect of my early research in Budapest was in nitration chemistry, specifically the preparation of nitronium tetrafluoroborate, a stable nitronium salt. 1 was able to prepare the salt in a simple and efficient way from nitric acid, hydrogen fluoride, and boron trifluoride. 

Nitronium tetrafluoroborate was first prepared by adding a mixture of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid and boron trifluoride to a solution of dinitrogen pentoxide in nitromethane. Nitric acid can be used in place of dinitrogen pentoxide, and by replacing boron trifluoride by other Lewis-acid fluorides Olah and his co-workers prepared an extensive series of stable nitronium salts. ... 

In 1973 the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Institute (SEMI) held its first standards meeting. SEMI standards are voluntary consensus specifications developed by the producers, users, and general interest groups in the semiconductor (qv) industry. Examples of electronic chemicals are glacial acetic acid [64-19-7] acetone [67-64-17, ammonium fluoride [12125-01 -8] and ammonium hydroxide [1336-21 -6] (see Ammonium compounds), dichloromethane [75-09-2] (see Cm.OROCARBONSANDcm.OROHYDROCARBONs), hydrofluoric acid [7664-39-3] (see Eluorine compounds, inorganic), 30% hydrogen peroxide (qv) [7722-84-1] methanol (qv) [67-56-1] nitric acid (qv) [7697-37-2] 2-propanoI [67-63-0] (see Propyl alcohols), sulfuric acid [7664-93-9] tetrachloroethane [127-18-4] toluene (qv) [108-88-3] and xylenes (qv) (see also Electronic materials). 

Fluoronaphthalene [321-38-0] is prepared from 1-naphthylamine by the Balz-Schiemaim reaction in 52% yield or by diazotization in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride in 82% yield. Electrophilic substitution occurs at the 4-position, eg, nitration with fuming nitric acid in acetic acid gave 88% yield of l-fluoro-4-nitro-naphthalene [341 -92-4]. 

Hafnium is readily soluble in hydrofluoric acid and is slowly attacked by concentrated sulfuric acid. Hafnium is unaffected by nitric acid in all concentrations. It is resistant to dilute solutions of hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. Hafnium is attacked by all mineral acids if traces of fluorides are present. Hafnium is very resistant to attack by alkaUes. 

Lead Fluoride. Lead difluoiide, Pbp2, is a white oithorhombic salt to about 220°C where it is transformed into the cubic form some physical properties ate given in Table 1. Lead fluoride is soluble in nitric acid and insoluble in acetone and ammonia. It is formed by the action of hydrofluoric acid on lead hydroxide or carbonate, or by the reaction between potassium fluoride and lead nitrate. 

Most mineral acids react vigorously with thorium metal. Aqueous HCl attacks thorium metal, but dissolution is not complete. From 12 to 25% of the metal typically remains undissolved. A small amount of fluoride or fluorosiUcate is often used to assist in complete dissolution. Nitric acid passivates the surface of thorium metal, but small amounts of fluoride or fluorosiUcate assists in complete dissolution. Dilute HF, HNO, or H2SO4, or concentrated HCIO4 and H PO, slowly dissolve thorium metal, accompanied by constant hydrogen gas evolution. Thorium metal does not dissolve in alkaline hydroxide solutions. 

Qua.driva.Ient, Zirconium tetrafluoride is prepared by fluorination of zirconium metal, but this is hampered by the low volatility of the tetrafluoride which coats the surface of the metal. An effective method is the halogen exchange between flowing hydrogen fluoride gas and zirconium tetrachloride at 300°C. Large volumes are produced by the addition of concentrated hydrofluoric acid to a concentrated nitric acid solution of zirconium zirconium tetrafluoride monohydrate [14956-11-3] precipitates (69). The recovered crystals ate dried and treated with hydrogen fluoride gas at 450°C in a fluid-bed reactor. The thermal dissociation of fluorozirconates also yields zirconium tetrafluoride. 

Nitric acid oxidizes antimony forming a gelantinous precipitate of a hydrated antimony pentoxide (8). With sulfuric acid an indefinite compound of low solubihty, probably an oxysulfate, is formed. Hydrofluoric acid forms fluorides or fluocomplexes with many insoluble antimony compounds. Hydrochloric acid in the absence of air does not readily react with antimony. Antimony also forms complex ions with organic acids. 

Chromium (II) also forms sulfides and oxides. Chromium (II) oxide [12018-00-7], CrO, has two forms a black pyrophoric powder produced from the action of nitric acid on chromium amalgam, and a hexagonal brown-red crystal made from reduction of Cr202 by hydrogen ia molten sodium fluoride (32). Chromium (II) sulfide [12018-06-3], CrS, can be prepared upon heating equimolar quantities of pure Cr metal and pure S ia a small, evacuated, sealed quartz tube at 1000°C for at least 24 hours. The reaction is not quantitative (33). The sulfide has a coordination number of six and displays a distorted octahedral geometry (34).

Under a gentle stream of nitrogen and with stirring, the flask is charged with 400 ml. of methylene chloride, 41 ml. (65.5 g., 1.00 mole) of red fuming nitric acid (95%), and 22 ml. (22 g., 1.10 moles) of cold, liquid, anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (Note 5). 

Nitronium tetrafluoroborate has been prepared by interaction of nitric acid, hydrogen fluoride, and boron fluoride in nitromethane.5 However, mixtures of nitric acid and nitromethane are extremely explosive.6,7 The present modification of the procedure, in which the medium is methylene chloride instead of nitromethane, was developed to avoid this hazard. It has not been published before.

Fluoride may be determined by precipitation as lead chlorofluoride, the precipitate being dissolved in dilute nitric acid and, after adjusting the pH to 5-6, the lead is titrated with EDTA using xylenol orange indicator.10... 

The action is rapid, and the acidity of the electrolyte is unaffected. The error due to nitrous acid is increased by the presence of a large amount of iron iron is reduced by the current to the iron(II) state, whereupon the nitric acid is reduced. This error may be minimised by the proper regulation of the pH and by the addition of ammonium nitrate instead of nitric acid, or, best, by the removal of the iron prior to the electrolysis, or by complexation with phosphate or fluoride. 

The cobalt complex is usually formed in a hot acetate-acetic acid medium. After the formation of the cobalt colour, hydrochloric acid or nitric acid is added to decompose the complexes of most of the other heavy metals present. Iron, copper, cerium(IV), chromium(III and VI), nickel, vanadyl vanadium, and copper interfere when present in appreciable quantities. Excess of the reagent minimises the interference of iron(II) iron(III) can be removed by diethyl ether extraction from a hydrochloric acid solution. Most of the interferences can be eliminated by treatment with potassium bromate, followed by the addition of an alkali fluoride. Cobalt may also be isolated by dithizone extraction from a basic medium after copper has been removed (if necessary) from acidic solution. An alumina column may also be used to adsorb the cobalt nitroso-R-chelate anion in the presence of perchloric acid, the other elements are eluted with warm 1M nitric acid, and finally the cobalt complex with 1M sulphuric acid, and the absorbance measured at 500 nm. 

The amount of reddish-purple acid-chloranilate ion liberated is proportional to the chloride ion concentration. Methyl cellosolve (2-methoxyethanol) is added to lower the solubility of mercury(II) chloranilate and to suppress the dissociation of the mercury(II) chloride nitric acid is added (concentration 0.05M) to give the maximum absorption. Measurements are made at 530nm in the visible or 305 nm in the ultraviolet region. Bromide, iodide, iodate, thiocyanate, fluoride, and phosphate interfere, but sulphate, acetate, oxalate, and citrate have little effect at the 25 mg L 1 level. The limit of detection is 0.2 mg L 1 of chloride ion the upper limit is about 120 mg L . Most cations, but not ammonium ion, interfere and must be removed. 

Treat the fluoride sample solution in the same manner as described for the calibration curve after removing interfering ions and adjusting the pH to about 5 with dilute nitric acid or sodium hydroxide solution. Read off the fluoride concentration from the calibration curve and the observed value of the absorbance.

No substance has been found which will dissolve the polymer, but prolonged contact with fluorine, hot plasticizers and polymeric waxes is not recommended (Refs 1 6)... 

Dissolution. Plutonium is solubilized in nitric acid solutions at Rocky Flats. The feed material consists of oxide, metal and glass, dissolution heels, incinerator ash and sand, slag, and crucible from reduction operations. The residues are contacted with 12M HNO3 containing CaF2 or HF to hasten dissolution. Following dissolution, aluminum nitrate is added to these solutions to complex the excess fluoride ion.
