Potassium sodium chloride-calcium

Potassium chloride is crystallized from sea bitterns containing chlorides of potassium, sodium and calcium by ammoniation (Jagadesh etai, 1992). This process is less energy intensive and more efficient than by fractional crystallization by evaporation, as the ammonia used is recovered by distillation. Crystallization produces a better quality product in terms of both size and purity than by other methods. 

The Fermentation Process The process by which this antifungal substance is produced is an aerobic fermentation of an aquaous nutrient medium inoculated with a pimaricin-producing strain of Streptomycesgihrosporeus. The nutrient medium contains an assimilable source of carbon such as starch, molasses, or glycerol, an assimilable source of nitrogen such as corn steep liquor and Inorganic cations such as potassium, sodium or calcium, and anions such as sulfate, phosphate or chloride. Trace elements such as boron, molybdenum or copper are supplied as needed in the form of impurities by the other constituents of the medium. 

The electrolyte is made by in situ chlorination of vanadium to vanadium dichloride in a molten salt bath. Higher valent chlorides are difficult to retain in the bath and thus are not preferred. The molten bath, which is formed by sodium chloride or an equimolar mixture of potassium chloride-sodium chloride or of potassium chloride-lithium chloride or of sodium chloride-calcium chloride, is contained in a graphite crucible. The crucible also serves as an anode. Electrolysis is conducted at a temperature about 50 °C above the melting point of the salt bath, using an iron or a molybdenum cathode and a cathode current density of 25 to 75 A dnT2. The overall electrochemical deposition reaction involves the formation and the discharge of the divalent ionic species, V2+ ... 

The quality of the refined metal, and the current efficiency strongly depend on the soluble vanadium in the bath and the quality of the anode feed. As the amount of vanadium in the anode decreases, the current efficiency and the purity of the refined product also decrease. A laboratory preparation of the metal with a purity of better than 99.5%, containing low levels of nitrogen (30-50 ppm) and of oxygen (400-1000 ppm) has been possible. The purity obtainable with potassium chloride-lithium chloride-vanadium dichloride and with sodium chloride-calcium chloride-vanadium dichloride mixtures is better than that obtainable with other molten salt mixtures. The major impurities are iron and chromium. Aluminum also gets dissolved in the melt due to chemical and electrochemical reactions but its concentrations in the electrolyte and in the final product have been found to be quite low. The average current efficiency of the process is about 70%, with a metal recovery of 80 to 85%. 

Several recent determinations of the alkali and alkaline earth metals in serum or urine have been reported. Barrett 29) determined potassium, sodium, and calcium in semm by diluting the samples with lanthanum chloride solution. Suttle and Field 3°) used atomic absorption spectroscopy to determine potassium and magnesium in sheep plasma. 

These components are alcohol, glycerine, sugars, colouring matters, albuminoid and tannin substances, inorganic salts (phosphates, sulphates and chlorides of potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium and aluminium), non-volatile organic acids (especially tartaric, malic, succinic and lactic, partly free and partly combined as salts), volatile acids (especially acetic) and esters, the latter being the source of the particular perfume or bouquet of the wine. 

Commercial ammonium carbonate is amixture of ammonium hydrogen carbonate and ammonium carbamate, NH2-CO-ONH4, and is probably a definite compound of the two salts.7 It is formed by distillation of a mixture of ammonium chloride with carbonate of potassium, sodium, or calcium, and was formerly manufactured by the dry distillation of animal excrement, horn, and other substances. It is now obtained as a by-product of the gas-manufacture, and after sublimation condenses in hard lumps. 

Calcium is primarily a bone builder, but it is also in and around every cell of the body (mostly in tissue fluid outside cells) as an electrolyte. Next to sodium, potassium, and chloride, calcium, and magnesium are the most important electrolytes. In body fluids, both of these elements carry twice the positive electrical charge carried by sodium or potassium. As a salt, calcium is found in lime (calcium oxide), chalk (calcium carbonate), and bone material (calcium phosphate). The... 

Two stations, Svratouch and Kosetice, are the Czech contribution to the EMEP monitoring network. They work on a full programme of measurements for precipitation (sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, magnesium, sodium, chloride, calcium, potassium, conductivity, pH), air (sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitric acid, ammonia, ozone, sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, sum of nitric acid and nitrate, sum of ammonia and ammonium). 

Blood agents are common industrial chemicals that have been used on the battlefield to produce casualties. Two primary types of blood agents used by the military are hydrogen cyanide (AC) and cyanogen chloride (CK). Poisonous effects of cyanide have been well known since ancient times. Cyanide was the first blood agent used as a chemical warfare agent. Cyanides are salts with the metals potassium, sodium, and calcium most commonly used to form the compounds. The term blood agent ...

Repeat the experiment with solid potassium chloride, sodium chloride, calcium chloride, barium chloride and zinc chloride. 

In potentiometric methods, the potential between a reference and an indicator electrode is measured, which corresponds to the analyte activity. Because of their usefulness in food analysis, ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) that measure anions like bromide, chloride, and fluoride or cations like potassium, sodium, and calcium stand out among indicator electrodes. The characteristics and advantages of ISE include the ability to measure different anions and cations directly, the fact that they do not consume the analyte, the fact that analyses are independent of sample volume when taking direct measurements, and that moreover turbidity, color, and viscosity do not affect the measurement. Potentiometric methods are also...

Typical values for mf n are 0.5 to 2.5. Gommercially used bases include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide (lime), magnesium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium alurninate, calcium carbonate, or various mixtures. For certain appHcations, PAG can be made from waste grades of aluminum chloride [7446-70-0] such as spent catalyst solutions from Friedel-Grafts synthesis (see Friedel-Grafts reaction). 

MetaHic potassium and potassium—sodium alloys are made by the reaction of sodium with fused KCl (8,98) or KOH (8,15). Calcium metal and calcium hydride are prepared by the reduction of granular calcium chloride with sodium or sodium and hydrogen, respectively, at temperatures below the fusion point of the resulting salt mixtures (120,121). 

Ion Selective Electrodes Technique. Ion selective (ISE) methods, based on a direct potentiometric technique (7) (see Electroanalytical techniques), are routinely used in clinical chemistry to measure pH, sodium, potassium, carbon dioxide, calcium, lithium, and chloride levels in biological fluids. 

The approximate composition of surface water in the Dead Sea in 1966 (49) was given as 35 g/L calcium chloride 130 g/L magnesium chloride nearly 80 g/L sodium chloride more than 10 g/L potassium chloride nearly 4 g/L bromide and about 1 g/L sulfate. At 400 m depth the bromide concentration was 6 g/L. Bromine in Israel is produced from the Hquors left from potash production and the bromide content of these Hquors is 14 g/L. 

The Ionic Basis of Membrane Activity. Almost all living cells maintain specific internal chemical environments that ate different from their external environments. In cardiac cells the principal ions involved in maintaining membrane activity are sodium, Na" potassium, K" chloride, CU and calcium, Ca ". The internal (i) and external (o) concentrations of these ions are Na" = 140 mM, Na" = 30 mM = 4 mM, = 140 mM Cl ... 

Great Salt Lake, Utah, is the largest terminal lake in the United States. From its brine, salt, elemental magnesium, magnesium chloride, sodium sulfate, and potassium sulfate ate produced. Other well-known terminal lakes ate Qinghai Lake in China, Tu2 Golu in Turkey, the Caspian Sea and Atal skoje in the states of the former Soviet Union, and Urmia in Iran. There ate thousands of small terminal lakes spread across most countries of the world. Most of these lakes contain sodium chloride, but many contain ions of magnesium, calcium, potassium, boron, lithium, sulfates, carbonates, and nitrates. 

The main metals in brines throughout the world are sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. Other metals, such as lithium and boron, are found in lesser amounts. The main nonmetals ate chloride, sulfate, and carbonate, with nitrate occurring in a few isolated areas. A significant fraction of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate comes from these isolated deposits. Other nonmetals produced from brine ate bromine and iodine. 

Ion-selective electrodes are available for the electro analysis of most small anions, eg, haUdes, sulfide, carbonate, nitrate, etc, and cations, eg, lithium, sodium, potassium, hydrogen, magnesium, calcium, etc, but having varying degrees of selectivity. The most successful uses of these electrodes involve process monitoring, eg, for pH, where precision beyond the unstable reference electrode s abiUty to deUver is not generally required, and for clinical apphcations, eg, sodium, potassium, chloride, and carbonate in blood, urine, and semm.
