Suspended phosphorus

A reliable modification of the process for the estimation of methoxyl is that of the British Pharmacopoeia, 1932. The apparatus is shown in Fig. 80. A Pyrex flask (A) of about 100 c.cs. capacity, having a bulb (B) of about 70 c.cs. capacity blown on the side tube, contains the mixture of substance (about 0-2 gm.) and hydriodic acid (10 c.cs.). The side tube is connected through a smaller bulbed tube (0) to a set of bulbs (D, see Fig. 65), immersed in a water bath at 60° (95° for ethoxyl), containing red phosphorus suspended in a 2% aqueous solution of cadmium sulphate. To this is attached two absorption flasks (E), each containing about 20 c.cs. of the above alcoholic silver nitrate. To the flask (A) is...

Aluminum based chemicals have been used for many years in wastewater treatment applications for suspended solids removal. These include dry and liquid alum, with sodium aluminate used in activated sludge plants for phosphorus removal. 

Ethyl N-phthaloyl p-aminophenylalaninate (3.15 g) (unrecrystallized) was suspended in water (50 g) and glacial acetic acid (30 g) added. To the clear solution, ethylene oxide (8.0 g) was added, the mixture allowed to stand for 17 hours, and then poured into water (350 g). The solution was neutralized with sodium hydrogen carbonate and the liberated gum extracted with ether. The ethereal solution was dried (magnesium sulfate) and eyapo-rated. The residual gum (3.95 g) was dissolved in benzene (50 g) and the solution dried azeotropically by distilling off some of the solvent. Freshly distilled phosphorus oxychloride (8 g) was added and the mixture heated under reflux for 30 minutes. 

Amino-5-methoxy pyrimidine is obtained having a melting point of about 300°C by condensation of methoxymalonic acid ester with guanidine carbonate in the presence of sodium ethylate. The resultant reaction product is then converted to 2-amino-5-methoxy-4,6-di-chloropyrimidine (melting point 216°C to 217°C) by heating this reaction product with phosphorus oxychloride. The dichloro compound is then suspended in water with zinc dust and... 

Reagent 111 was formed by dissolving 0.50 g (3.5 mmol) of II in 25 mL of water in a 50-mL round-bottom flask. To this solution was added 0.15 g (3.61 mmol) of sodium hydroxide, and the mixture was heated on a steam bath for 30 min. The water was removed and the residue suspended in hot toluene. The toluene suspension was filtered and the remaining solid dried in an Abderhalden drying pistol with phosphorus pentoxide. This procedure gave 0.55 g (99%) yield of Reagent 111. 

The contaminants that can be removed by flotation include conventional pollutants such as BOD, COD, total suspended solids (TSS), phosphorus, phenols, oil and grease, as well as toxic pollutants including heavy metals, toxic organics, pathogenic microorganisms, and radioactive radon 22.28,33,54,64,100-102...

Acronyms were also used for phytoplankton taxa representation...

The solid is suspended in 300 ml. of 5% sodium hydroxide at 15° (Note 5). The mixture is stirred for 30 minutes, and the solid is filtered by suction and washed with water until the filtrates are no longer alkaline. The procedure is repeated, but stirring is continued for 0.75-1.0 hour. After the solid has been filtered by suction, washed, and pressed as dry as possible, it is dried under reduced pressure over phosphorus pentoxide for 12-16 hours. 

Phosphorus acid (260 mg, 3.17 mol) was placed into a 250-ml, threenecked, round-bottomed flask suspended in an oil bath. The flask was equipped with a three-way adapter, carrying a pressure-equalizing addition funnel, a reflux condenser with a drying tube, a mechanical stirrer, and a thermometer. Acetonitrile (33 g, 0.80 mol) was introduced to the reaction flask dropwise over a 2-h period while the phosphorous acid was agitated and maintained at a temperature of 138 to 142°C. After completion of the addition, the reaction mixture was maintained at that temperature for an additional 12 h. Methanol was then added to precipitate the pure l-aminoethane-l,l-diphos-phonic acid (13.9 g, 85%), which exhibited spectral and analytical data in accord with the proposed structure. 

To a flame-dried, three-neck, 1-1 flask were added, in order, p-xylene (107 g, 1.0 mol), phosphorus trichloride (412 g, 3.0 mol), and anhydrous aluminum chloride (160 g, 1.2 mol). The reaction mixture was slowly heated to reflux with stirring. After 2.5 h at reflux, the reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature and the volatile components distilled at reduced pressure. The residual oil was slowly added to cold water (1 1) with stirring, and a white solid formed. The solid was removed by filtration, washed with water, and air dried. The solid was suspended in water (1 1) to which was added 50% sodium hydroxide solution (90 ml) to cause dissolution. The solution was saturated with carbon dioxide and filtered through Celite . The basic solution was washed with methylene chloride (200 ml) and acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid (200 ml). The white solid that separated was isolated by extraction with methylene chloride (3 x 250 ml). The extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the pure 2,5-dimethylbenzenephosphinic acid (99 g, 60%) as an oil, which slowly crystallized to a solid of mp 77-79°C. 

De Pinto [90] measured the rate at which available phosphorus is released from various types of particulates suspended in lake water. The equipment consists of two culture vessels separated by a thin membrane filter, thus facilitating the separation of two particulate suspensions, while at the same time permitting their interaction by diffusion of solutes through the membrane. 

Dorich et al. [91] estimated algae available phosphorus in extracts of suspended sediments. 

Cabrera et al. [95] determined total dissolved and suspended phosphorus in natural waters by a method involving digestion with hydrogen peroxide and sulphuric acid, errors may be caused by adsorption of phosphorus on hydrous iron and aluminium oxides formed during neutralization prior to filtration. It is proposed that this can be prevented by adding extra sulphuric acid after neutralization, to dissolve such oxides and release the adsorbed phosphorus into solution. 

The presence of suspended solid materials increases the extent of LAS biodegradation [13,28], but the rate of the process remains invariable. The influence of the particulate material is due specifically to the increased density of the microbiota associated with sediments. However, suspended solids may also reduce the bioavailability of IAS as a result of its sorption onto preferential sites (e.g. clays, humic acids), although this is a secondary effect due to the reversibility of the sorption process. Salinity does not affect IAS degradation directly, but could also reduce LAS bioavailability by reducing the solubility of this molecule [5], Another relevant factor to be taken into account is that biodegradation processes in the marine environment could be limited by the concentration of nutrients, especially of phosphorus and nitrogen [34],...
