Separ crystallization

System in which the two components form a continuous series of solid solutions. In all the preceding examples the individual components (A or B or A By) form separate crystals when solidifying from the melt. There are, however, a number of examples of the separation of a homogeneous solid solution of A and B (or A and A By, etc.). 

Dissolve or suspend 0 - 5 g. of the acid in 5 ml. of water in a small conical flask, add a drop or two of phenolphthalein indicator, and then 4-5 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution until the acid is just neutrahsed. Add a few drops of very dilute hydrochloric acid so that the final solution is faintly acid (litmus).f Introduce 0-5 g. of p-bromophenacyl bromide (m.p. 109°) dissolved in 5 ml. of rectified (or methylated) spirit, and heat the mixture under reflux for 1 hour if the mixture is not homogeneous at the boiling point or a solid separates out, add just sufficient alcohol to produce homogeneity. [Di- and tri-basic acids require proportionately larger amounts of the reagent and longer refluxing periods.] Allow the solution to cool, filter the separated crystals at the pump, wash with a little alcohol and then with water. Recrystallise from dilute alcohol dissolve the solid in hot alcohol, add hot water until a turbidity just results, clear the latter with a few drops of alcohol, and allow to cool. Acetone may sometimes be employed for recrystallisation. 

This procedure is used to separate crystallized product from solvent or to remove crap and solids from a liquid. Figure 8 shows the proper apparatus to use. The collecting flask is called a side arm flask and to that extended nipple (tee heel) is attached a vacuum source. The thing that is shoved through the rubber stopper is called a Buchner funnel and is usually made of white porcelain or, preferably, PP. The Buchner funnel, when viewed from above, can be seen to have lots of pin holes in the bottom surface of its reservoir. Over this surface is layered a single sheet of rounded filter paper or paper towel. 

Zone refining is one of a class of techniques known as fractional solidification in which a separation is brought about by crystallization of a melt without solvent being added (see also Crystallization) (1 8). SoHd—Hquid phase equiUbria are utilized, but the phenomena are much more complex than in separation processes utilizing vapor—Hquid equiHbria. In most of the fractional-solidification techniques described in the article on crystallization, small separate crystals are formed rapidly in a relatively isothermal melt. In zone refining, on the other hand, a massive soHd is formed slowly and a sizable temperature gradient is imposed at the soHd—Hquid interface.

Adsorbed molecules are more strongly held at the sites where the weakest metal-metal bonding is to be found, and these conespond to the active sites of Langmuir. A demonstration of this effect was found in smdies of the adsorption of H2S from a H2S/H2 mixture on a single crystal of copper of which die separate crystal faces had been polished and exposed to die gas. The formation of copper sulphide first occuiTed on die [100] and [110] planes at a lower H2S partial pressure dran on die more densely packed [111] face. Thus die metal atoms which are less strongly bonded to odrer metal atoms can bond more strongly to die adsorbed species from die gas phase. 

Such solubilized protein-detergent complexes are the starting material for purification and crystallization. For some proteins, the addition of small amphipathic molecules to the detergent-solubilized protein promotes crystallization, probably by facilitating proper packing interactions between the molecules in all three dimensions in a crystal (Figure 12.2b). Therefore, many different amphipathic molecules are added in separate crystallization experiments until, by trial and error, the correct one is found. 

Hydroxypregna-5,16-dien-20-one Acetate Oxime 3j5-Hydroxy-pregna-5,16-dien-20-one acetate (30 g) is dissolved in 300 ml of anhydrous pyridine and 6.75 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride is added. The mixture is stirred until solution is achieved, left in a tightly closed container at room temperature for 4 days and then poured into 1.5 liters of water. The flask is rinsed with water and the combined separated crystals are collected on a Buchner funnel, washed with water and dried to constant weight in an oven at 100°. Yield 30 g (96.5% of theory) mp 220-223°. 

The above product was dissolved in dimethylformamide (65 ml), sodium thiophenoxide (0.89 g) was added thereto, and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. To the resultant mixture, acetone (650 ml) was added, and the separated crystals were collected by filtration and washed with acetone and ether in order to give the objective compound in the form of the sodium salt (1.3 g). 

A solution of 1.0 gram of 10-[3 -(N-acetoxyethylpiperazinyl)-propyl]-2-trifluoromethyl-phenothiazine in 25 ml of 1 N hydrochloric acid is heated at reflux briefly. Neutralization with dilute sodium carbonate solution and extraction with benzene gives the oily base, 10-[3 -(N-(3-hydroxyethylpiperazinyl)-propyl]-2-trifluoromethylphenothiazine. The base is reacted with an excess of an alcoholic hydrogen chloride solution. Trituration with ether separates crystals of the dihydrochloride salt, MP 224° to 226°C, (from U.S. Patent 3,058,979). 

For instance, also the homopolymers PVF and PVDF have been described to crystallize in separate crystals in their blends [99] (Though constituted by isomorphous monomeric units which can cocrystallize in the copolymers in the whole range of composition, as seen in Sect. 4.1). Moreover, at least for the studied conditions, the polymorphic behavior of PVDF is not altered by the presence of PVF [99]. 

The first resolution of an octahedral complex into its enantiomers was achieved in 1911 by A. Werner, who got the Nobel Prize in 1913, with the complex [Co(ethylenediamine)(Cl)(NH3)] [10]. Obviously, resolution is to be considered only in the case of kinetically inert complexes whose enantiomers do not racemize quickly after separation. This is a very important remark since, as noted above, the interesting complexes are those containing exchangeable sites required for catalytic activity and thus more sensitive to racemization. We will not discuss here the very rare cases of spontaneous resolution during which a racemic mixture of complexes forms a conglomerate (the A and A enantiomers crystallize in separate crystals) [11,12]. 

In the case of a simple eutectic system shown in Fig. 20-2, a pure solid phase is obtainecf by cooling if the composition of the feed mixture is not at the eutectic composition. If liquid composition is eutectic, then separate crystals of both species will form. In practice it is difficult to attain perfect separation of one component by crystallization of a eutectic mixture. The solid phase will always contain trace amounts of impurity because of incomplete solid-liquid separation, slight solubility of the impurity in the solid phase, or volumetric inclusions. It is difficult to generalize on which of these mechanisms is the major cause of contamination because of analytical difficulties in the ultrahigh-purity range. 

Why is it possible to separate crystal size from lattice distortion — Limited crystal size broadens every reflection by the same amount20. On the other hand, the higher the order of a reflection is, the higher is the smearing effect caused by lattice distortions. 

In order to find the evolution equation, we shall consider the relation between the current and the oxidation state of a separate crystal. 

Zinc chalcogenide thin hlms have been grown by ECALE using zinc sulphate as metal source and sodium sulphide and sodium selenite as chalcogenide precursors.145-148 The formation of the hrst layers of ZnS on (lll)Au has been analyzed by STM and XPS.145 HRSEM images showed that the him surface was very hat, even at an atomic level. On the other hand, thicker ZnS hlms were formed of well-separated crystal nuclei. The stoichiometry of a thicker ZnS him showed a slight excess of sulphur, with a Zn S ratio of 1 1.2. The band gap of a thicker him (deposition time 12 h) was 3.60eV.147... 

The Buchner funnel (Fig. 46) is used primarily for separating crystals of product from the liquid above them. If you have been boiling your recrystallization solvents dry, you should be horsewhipped and forced to reread these sections on recrystallization ... 

Even though the works of Bailey et al. [120,127] and Epps et al. [121] present very comprehensive studies about the variation of the morphology as a function of composition and topology, they did not study in detail the relationship microphase separation-crystallization . Several contributions have been made in this area, when the triblock copolymers have only one crystal-lizable block [101,118,119,122,126,128-130]. Some relevant aspects of these references have already been mentioned. 

The method although simple is veiy limited in its application because it is difficult to find conditions under which well defined and separate crystals are formed. Further the method is too tedious and time consuming and is now only of historical importance because it was first employed by Pasteur for resolution while he was still 26 years of age. Therefore, it was the first experiment in the history of science that gave optically active compound from an inactive one. 

According to two simultaneous hypotheses15,16, the principal component of the 7 of simple metals (from lithium to aluminum) originates in the shift in the zero-point energy of the plasma models of the system when one perfect crystal is broken into two separate crystals. Some simplifications and arbitrary assumptions lead finally to the relation...
