Surface cracks in boiler tubes, creep damage in power plant components and precipitate analysis in components subjected to high temperature and stress have been successfully assessed by this technique and necessary further inspection scheduled, depending upon the severity of the observed defect. The following is an example of the type and severity of defects and the necessary action taken in the context of power plant operations.

RCI3 solution reacts with horax solution at pH 6.5-6.9 to form a borate hydrate precipitate. Analysis of the dried powder indicated the composition R(B02)3 AJH2O ( = 4 or 6) (Vasilev and Serehrennikov, 1964 Pajakoflf, 1969). 

Gas-liquid-aerosol equilibria in the lower troposphere determine the composition of wet atmospheric precipitation. The most relevant process in the context of precipitation analysis is the solubilisation of airborne gaseous substances and particulates that are in this way deposited to soils and water bodies. For example primary emissions of SO2 and NO are converted to S04 and NOa" by atmospheric processes and then swept to the earth s surface by wet deposition as acids (acid rain) or salts (e.g. eutrophicating NH4HSO4 and NH4NO3).

Stem layer adsorption was involved in the discussion of the effect of ions on f potentials (Section V-6), electrocapillary behavior (Section V-7), and electrode potentials (Section V-8) and enters into the effect of electrolytes on charged monolayers (Section XV-6). More speciflcally, this type of behavior occurs in the adsorption of electrolytes by ionic crystals. A large amount of wotk of this type has been done, partly because of the importance of such effects on the purity of precipitates of analytical interest and partly because of the role of such adsorption in coagulation and other colloid chemical processes. Early studies include those by Weiser [157], by Paneth, Hahn, and Fajans [158], and by Kolthoff and co-workers [159], A recent calorimetric study of proton adsorption by Lyklema and co-workers [160] supports a new thermodynamic analysis of double-layer formation. A recent example of this is found in a study... 

The solid readily dissolves chemically in concentrated hydrochloric acid, forming a complex, and in ammonia as the colourless, linear, complex cation [H3N -> Cu <- NHj] (cf AgCl) if air is absent (in the presence of air, this is oxidis to a blue ammino-copper(II) complex). This solution of ammoniacal copper(I) chloride is a good solvent or carbon monoxide, forming an addition compound CuCl. CO. H2O, and as such is used in gas analysis. On passing ethyne through the ammoniacal solution, a red-brown precipitate of hydrated copper(I) dicarbide (explosive when dry) is obtained ... 

Gold compounds are all easily reduced in alkaline solution to metallic gold which may occur in colloidal form and so be red, blue or intermediate colours. Reduction to gold, followed by weighing of ihe metal precipitated, may be used in quantiiaiive analysis. 

Many precipitation reactions that are useful as separation techniques for gravimetric analysis fail to meet one or both of two requirements for titrimetry ...

Techniques responding to the absolute amount of analyte are called total analysis techniques. Historically, most early analytical methods used total analysis techniques, hence they are often referred to as classical techniques. Mass, volume, and charge are the most common signals for total analysis techniques, and the corresponding techniques are gravimetry (Chapter 8), titrimetry (Chapter 9), and coulometry (Chapter 11). With a few exceptions, the signal in a total analysis technique results from one or more chemical reactions involving the analyte. These reactions may involve any combination of precipitation, acid-base, complexation, or redox chemistry. The stoichiometry of each reaction, however, must be known to solve equation 3.1 for the moles of analyte. 

Several types of reactions are commonly used in analytical procedures, either in preparing samples for analysis or during the analysis itself. The most important of these are precipitation reactions, acid-base reactions, complexation reactions, and oxidation-reduction reactions. In this section we review these reactions and their equilibrium constant expressions. 

Particulate interferents can be separated from dissolved analytes by filtration, using a filter whose pore size retains the interferent. This separation technique is important in the analysis of many natural waters, for which the presence of suspended solids may interfere in the analysis. Filtration also can be used to isolate analytes present as solid particulates from dissolved ions in the sample matrix. For example, this is a necessary step in gravimetry, in which the analyte is isolated as a precipitate. A more detailed description of the types of available filters is found in the discussion of precipitation gravimetry and particulate gravimetry in Chapter 8. 

In the previous section we used four examples to illustrate the different ways that mass can serve as an analytical signal. These examples also illustrate the four gravimetric methods of analysis. When the signal is the mass of a precipitate, we call the method precipitation gravimetry. The indirect determination of by precipi-... 

A precipitation gravimetric analysis must have several important attributes. Eirst, the precipitate must be of low solubility, high purity, and of known composition if its mass is to accurately reflect the analyte s mass. Second, the precipitate must be in a form that is easy to separate from the reaction mixture. The theoretical and experimental details of precipitation gravimetry are reviewed in this section.
