Both models apply the same chemical scheme of mercury transformations. It is assumed that mercury occurs in the atmosphere in two gaseous forms—gaseous elemental HgO, gaseous oxidized Hg(II) particulate oxidized Hgpart, and four aqueous forms—elemental dissolved HgO dis, mercury ion Hg2+, sulphite complex Hg(S03)2, and aggregate chloride complexes HgnClm. Physical and chemical transformations include dissolution of HgO in cloud droplets, gas-phase and aqueous-phase oxidation by ozone and chlorine, aqueous-phase formation of chloride complexes, reactions of Hg2+ reduction through the decomposition of sulphite complex, and adsorption by soot particles in droplet water. 

By international agreement, the algebraic sign of E° for a half-cell is chosen to be the same as its electrical sign relative to the SHE. This means, in effect, that we must write the half-reactions with the electrons on the left-hand side in other words, E° values are taken to be reduction potentials. Consequently, a reagent such as chlorine that is more oxidizing than aqueous H+ (— H2) under standard conditions will have a positive E°... 

Selenic Acid, HaSe04.—This acid was first prepared by Mitscher-lich in 1827, who suspended lead selenate in water and precipitated the lead by means of hydrogen sulphide. By the oxidation of aqueous solutions of selenious acid with suitable reagents, e.g. chlorine or bromine, selenic acid may also be obtained.6 When chlorine is used, any hydrogen chloride must be removed as soon as it is formed, for selenic acid is reduced by hot hydrogen chloride to selenious acid, with liberation of chlorine the process is best carried out6 by passing a... 

By the action of chlorine and chlorine compounds on arsenious oxide. Chlorine reacts with the heated oxide to form arsenic trichloride and arsenic pentoxide.11 The gas also reacts with the aqueous solution or suspension. When chlorine is passed into a well-agitated 70 to 80 per cent, suspension of arsenious oxide at 60° to 70° C., about 80 per cent, of the latter is converted to the trichloride and the remainder to the pentoxide.15 A saturated solution of arsenious oxide in concentrated hydrochloric acid when heated with concentrated sulphuric acid yields... 

H3Fe(CN)e (aq.). Berthelot27 measured the heat of oxidation of aqueous ferrocyanic acid with bromine and with chlorine, his data yielding, for the ferricyanic acid, HsFe(CN)e (aq.), Qf= —148.1 and —148.4, respectively. 

In most wastes and wastewater, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and particulate matter are found in the aqueous phase. The fraction of PCBs associated with each phase depends on the hydrophobicity. The congeners containing more chlorine substituents have a stronger tendency to associate with particulate. PCBs sorbed to surfaces such as diatomaceous earth are not oxidized by aqueous OH at an appreciable rate relative to the reaction rate of OH with solution-phase PCBs. Sedlak and Andren (1994) performed a quantitative evaluation of the effect of sorption to particulate matter on the rate of PCB oxidation by OH. The transformations of three PCB congeners — 2-monochlorobiphenyl (MClBp) 2,2, 5-trichlorobiphe-nyl (TrCIBp) and 2,2, 4,5,5 -pentachlorobiphenyl (PeCIBp) — were studied at an initial concentration of 1 pM of PCB solution. Data from the experiments were compared with predictions from quantitative kinetic models that used independently determined data on reaction rates and OH concentrations.

Oxidation reactions included the use of alkaline permanganate, alkaline copper(II)oxide, and aqueous chlorine (Schnitzer and Khan, 1972 Christman et al., 1989).The degradation products consisted of aromatic and aliphatic acids. Aliphatic dicarboxylic acids ranging from ethanedioic to decanedioic acids were identified. Methylation prior to oxidation prevented phenolic groups from degradation and allowed gas chromatography (GC) analysis. 

In an inner sphere process, the coordination sphere of one complex is substitute by a ligand bound to the other complex which then acts as a bridge and may be transferred during the redox process. For example, isotopic labelling studies show that to oxidation of aqueous Cr2+ with [Co(III)(NH3)5C1]2+ proceeds via a bridges species Cr CI Co, the chlorine not exchanging with free labelled Cl in solution but remaining attached to the kinetically inert Cr(III) product.

By contrast the electrolytic oxidation at 8°C and a current of 0.7A with a graphite anode and a stainless steel cathode of a solution of mesitytene in aqueous sulphuric acid/acetonitrile (4 1) gave, over 5.5 hours, a 43% yield of the same product, namely 4-hydroxy-2,4,6-trimethylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone (ref.25) as obtained with the oxidants chlorine, manganese dioxide or sodium hypochlorite.

Reaction between hydrazine hydrate and ammonium thiocyanate yields 1,1-his (thiocarbamoyl) hydrazine which on treatment with phosgene undergoes molecular rearrangement through loss of ammonia to yield 5-amino-2-mercapto-l, 3, 4-thiadiazole. This on acylation gives a corresponding amide which on oxidation with aqueous chlorine affords the 2-sulphonyl chloride. The final step essentially consists of amidation by treatment with ammonia. 

The first equation shows the formation of hypochlorous acid by the reaction of chlorine and water. The second shows the reaction of the acid with propylene to form propylene chlorohydrin. The third equation represents the dehydrochlorination of propylene chlorohydrin with calcium hydroxide to propylene oxide and aqueous calcium chloride. Sodium hydroxide can also be used in the dehydrochlorination step. The effluent will then be a dilute sodium chloride stream rather than the calcium chloride by-product shown in Eq. (12).
