Organic acid combinations

Mixed acid systems are blends of mineral acids and organic acids. Combinations that have been used in carbonate acidizing include acetic acid/HCl and formic acid/HCl. While these are less corrosive than hydrochloric acid alone, the organic acid may not react completely with the rock. Blends of formic acid and hydrofluoric acid have been used in high temperature sandstone acidizing and are less corrosive than HC1/HF blends. 

Organic acids combined with dynamic gas exchange modified atmosphere packaging are also known to improve some shelf life properties of retail pork chops. 

The alkaloids of the tropane group show a series of common chemical characteristics, particularly that of being esters of organic acids combined with bicyclic hydramines. They include Z-hyoscyamine and its isomer atropine, cocaine, scopolamine or hyoscine, and a series of secondary alkaloids.

Many ceUulosic derivatives form anisotropic, ie, Hquid crystalline, solutions, and cellulose acetate and triacetate are no exception. Various cellulose acetate anisotropic solutions have been made using a variety of solvents (56,57). The nature of the polymer—solvent interaction determines the concentration at which hquid crystalline behavior is initiated. The better the interaction, the lower the concentration needed to form the anisotropic, birefringent polymer solution. Strong organic acids, eg, trifluoroacetic acid are most effective and can produce an anisotropic phase with concentrations as low as 28% (58). Trifluoroacetic acid has been studied with cellulose triacetate alone or in combination with other solvents (59—64) concentrations of 30—42% (wt vol) triacetate were common. 

Only acids are sour. Sourness is not identical to chemical acidity or pH, which is a function of the hydrogen ion concentration, but also appears to be a function of the entire acid molecule. A combination of pH and acid concentration determines the actual degree of the sour taste. At the same pH, any organic acid, eg, citric acid, exhibits a far greater sourness than a mineral acid, eg, hydrochloric acid (27,28). 

Chemical Properties. A combination of excellent chemical and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures result in high performance service in the chemical processing industry. Teflon PEA resins have been exposed to a variety of organic and inorganic compounds commonly encountered in chemical service (26). They are not attacked by inorganic acids, bases, halogens, metal salt solutions, organic acids, and anhydrides. Aromatic and ahphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, amines, esters, chlorinated compounds, and other polymer solvents have Httle effect. However, like other perfluorinated polymers,they react with alkah metals and elemental fluorine. 

Plastics and Synthetic Products. To prevent degradation of plastics at elevated processing temperatures, it is necessary to use suitable heat stabilizers. Eor example, flexible poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) manifests uncontroUed color development in the absence of stabilizers. Accordingly, cadmium salts of organic acids are typically used in a synergistic combination with corresponding barium salts, in about a 1 3 cadmium barium ratio, to provide a cost-competitive heat stabilizer for flexible PVC. 

Resist Printing. In resist printing, print pastes are used that can inhibit the development or fixation of different dyes that are apphed to the textile prior to or after printing. These resists can be of a chemical or mechanical nature, or combine both methods. For example, fiber-reactive dyes, which require alkaU for their fixation, can be made resistant by printing a nonvolatile organic acid, such as tartaric acid, on the textile. Colored resists are obtained by printing pigments with a nonvolatile acid. 

Amphiprotic solvents consist of liquids, such as water, alcohols and weak organic acids, which are slightly ionised and combine both protogenic and protophilic properties in being able to donate and to accept protons. 

Alcohols it has been found that determinations of salts of organic acids and especially of soaps are best carried out in solvent mixtures of glycols and alcohols or of glycols and hydrocarbons. The most common combinations of this type are ethylene glycol (dihydroxyethane) with propan-2-ol or butan-l-ol. The combinations provide admirable solvent power for both the polar and non-polar ends of the molecule. Another suitable solvent mixture is methanol and benzene.
