Heavy metals often can be removed effectively by chemical precipitation in the form of carbonates, hydroxides, or sulfides. Sodium carbonate, sodium bisulfite, sodium hydroxide, and calcium oxide are all used as precipitation agents. The solids precipitate as a floe containing a large amount of water in the structure. The precipitated solids need to be separated by thickening or filtration and recycled if possible. If recycling is not possible, then the solids are usually disposed of to a landfill. 

A mixture of a-naphthol 41 (15.0 g, 0.1 mol), phenylhydrazine 42 (11.0 g, 0.1 mol) and sodium bisulfite solution (36 %, 250 g) was heated at reflux for 15 h. A further 4 g of phenylhydrazine was added and heating continued for 15 h, after which time the majority of the a-naphthol was consumed. After cooling, the mixture was extracted with ether. The oily, ether and aqueous insoluble residue was warmed with cone. HCl until a dark crystalline mass developed. After cooling, the mixture was extracted with ether. The organic extract was dried and concentrated to afford a crystalline residue which was purified by recrystallisation from ethanol to afford the product 43 as a white crystalline solid, mp 225 °C. A reaction yield is not given. 

By a procedure analogous to that described in the preceding experiment, octalone-2 (12 g, 0.08 mole, Chapter 9, Section III) in ether is added to methylmagnesium iodide in the presence of cuprous bromide (0.2 g). After decomposition with ice-acetic acid, extraction with ether, and washing of the ether extract, the ethereal solution is shaken with an equal volume (50-60 ml) of saturated aqueous sodium bisulfite for 3 hours. The mixture is filtered and the filtrate is reserved. The crystals are washed with ether. The filtrate is separated and the aqueous phase is combined with the filtered solid. The combination is acidified (dilute hydrochloric acid) and heated under reflux for 30 minutes. The product thus liberated is extracted into ether, the ether is washed with bicarbonate, then with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, and then dried and evaporated. The residual oil is the desired product, bp 250-254°. 

A solution of 11.2 g of potassium permanganate in 100 ml of warm water was added drop-wise to a well stirred solution of 10 g of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-4-metathiazanone in 50 ml of glacial acetic acid. The temperature was kept below 30°C with external cooling. An aqueous sodium bisulfite solution was then added to remove the manganese dioxide. The thick whitish oil which separated was taken up in chloroform and the extract was washed with water. Removal of the chloroform by distillation in vacuo yielded an oily residue which solidified. The solid was recrystallized from isopropyl alcohol to give 5 g of the product, 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-4-metathiazanone-1,1-dioxide, MP 116.2° to 118.6°C (corr.). 

The catalyst was removed by filtration. The filtrate was diluted to about 18 liters, and was acidified with 15 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid. With vigorous stirring, 1,152 ml N KICI2 solution were run into the diluted filtrate over a period of about 20 to 30 minutes. A solid precipitate was formed, and was filtered off after about six hours. The sol id material was washed with water, with sodium bisulfite solution, and again with water. It was dissolved in aqueous ammonium hydroxide solution, the solution was filtered, and the filtrate was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid containing a small amount of sodium bisulfite. After a short time, the precipitate formed was filtered with suction, washed with water, and dried. 

A solution of 192 g 3-acetylamino-2,4,6-triiodophenol, sodium (0.35 mol) in 350 ml di-methylacetamide, was mixed with 107.5 g 3-(2-iodoethoxy)-2-ethylpropionic acid ethyl ester (0.35 mol) at 90°C with stirring over a period of about 20 to 30 minutes. Stirring was continued while the mixture was held at 95°C to 100°C for 16 hours. The solvent was then removed by distillation in a vacuum, and the residue was poured into 4,000 ml water. The solid precipitate formed was recovered and washed with water, dilute sodium carbonate solution, dilute sodium bisulfite solution, and again with much water. The ethyl ester was obtained in a yield of 220 g (90%). When recrystallized from 75% aqueous ethanol, it melted at 80°C to 86°C. 

The reaction product, which is a dark reddish-brown liquid, is poured or siphoned (Note 5) into 1.5 1. of water to which 50 cc. of a saturated solution of sodium bisulfite has been added (Note 6). The mixture is distilled with steam (Org. Syn. 2, 80) and the first portion of the distillate is collected separately to remove a small amount of unchanged nitrobenzene. It is necessary to collect about 12 1. of distillate in order to obtain all of the m-bromonitrobenzene. The yellow crystalline solid is filtered with suction and pressed well on the funnel to remove water and traces of nitrobenzene. The yield of crude product varies from 270-340 g. (60-75 Per cent °f the theoretical amount). It melts at 51.5-520 and boils at 117-118 79 mm. This product is satisfactory for most purposes. If a purer material is desired, the crude /w-bromonitrobenzene may be distilled under reduced pressure. The recovery on purification is about 85 per cent. Briihl recorded the b.p. as 1380/18 mm. and the m.p. as 56° for pure wz-bromonitrobenzene.1... 

The crude ester is cooled, an equal volume of benzene is added, then the free acid is neutralized by shaking with about 250 cc. of a 10 per cent solution of sodium carbonate (Note 4). The benzene solution is poured into 1300 cc. of a saturated solution of sodium bisulfite (about 60 g. of technical sodium bisulfite per 100 cc.), contained in a wide-neck bottle equipped with an efficient stirrer, and the mixture stirred for two and a half hours. The mixture soon warms up a little and becomes semi-solid. It is filtered through a 20-cm. Buchner funnel and carefully washed, first with 200 cc. of a saturated solution of sodium bisulfite, finally with two 150-cc. portions of benzene (Notes 5 and 6). The white pearly flakes of the sodium bisulfite addition product are transferred to a 3-I. round-bottom wide-neck flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer and containing 700 cc. of water, 175 cc. of concentrated sulfuric acid, and 500 cc. of benzene. The flask is heated on a steam bath under a hood, the temperature being kept at 55°, and the mixture is stirred for thirty minutes (Note 7). The solution is then poured into a separatory funnel, the benzene separated and the water layer extracted with a 200-cc. portion of benzene. The combined benzene solution is shaken with excess of 10 per cent sodium carbonate solution to remove free acid and sulfur dioxide (Note 8). The benzene is washed with a little water and then dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate (Note 9). The benzene is distilled at ordinary pressure over a free flame from a 500-cc. Claisen flask, the solution being added from a separatory funnel as fast as the benzene distils. It is advisable to distil the ester under reduced pressure although it can be done under ordinary pressure. The fraction distilling around n8°/5mm., 130710 mm., 138715 mm., 148725 mm., 155735 mm., or... 

Reduction by sodium dithionite. A small amount of sodium dithionite, solid or in solution, is added to a luciferase solution made with 50 mM phosphate, pH 7.0, containing 50 pM FMN. The amount of dithionite used should be minimal but sufficient to remove oxygen in the solution and to fully reduce the flavin. The solution made is injected into an air-equilibrated buffer solution containing a long-chain aldehyde and luciferase to initiate the luminescence reaction. With this method, the reaction mixture will be contaminated by bisulfite and bisulfate ions derived from dithionite. 

A mixture of 10 g. of D-galactose, 10 ml. of ethyl acetoaeetate, 10 ml. of ethanol, and 5 g. of zinc chloride is heated on a steam bath during 75 minutes. The mixture is cooled, 45 ml. of water is added, and the solution is extracted with two 30-ml. portions of benzene. The aqueous layer is then extracted with nine 15-ml. portions of ethyl acetate. The united extracts are washed successively with an aqueous solution of sodium bisulfite and with an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate evaporated to dryness, affording 4.5 g. of a sirup. This is saponified with 12.5 ml. of 10% sodium hydroxide solution, and then acidified (to Congo Red) with phosphoric acid. The aqueous solution is extracted with successive 30-ml. portions of ethyl acetate, and these are dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and individually evaporated to dryness. Extracts after the fourth yield a solid product m. p., 130°. Recrystallized from petroleum ether plus acetic acid, the compound has m. p. 132-134° yield, variable, ca. 2%.54... 

The detailed procedure of starch isolation from potato tubers is as follows. Potato tubers (10 kg) are washed, peeled, sliced into 2-3 cm cubes, and soaked in distilled water containing 20 mM sodium bisulfite and 10 mM citric acid for 2 hours to prevent darkening. The cubes are then disintegrated using a centrifugal juice extractor, the pulp is suspended in 6 L of distilled water and passed through the extractor again, and starch milk is collected. The milk is allowed to sediment for 30 minutes the supernatant and the suspended solids are removed by decantation, and the... 

In a i-l. round-bottom flask are placed 250 cc. of glacial acetic acid, 15 g. of red phosphorus and 5 g. of iodine. The mixture is allowed to stand for fifteen to twenty minutes until the iodine has reacted, and then 5 cc. of water and 100 g. of benzilic acid are added. A reflux condenser is attached and the mixture is boiled continuously for at least two and a half hours. After the reaction is complete, the hot mixture is filtered with suction to remove the excess red phosphorus (Note 2). The hot filtrate is slowly poured into a cold, well-stirred, filtered solution of 20-25 g- °f sodium bisulfite in 1 1. of water (Note 3). This procedure removes the excess iodine and precipitates the diphenylacetic acid as a fine white or slightly yellow powder (Note 4). The product is filtered with suction, washed with cold water and dried thoroughly on filter paper. The yield is 88-90 g. (94-97 per cent of the theoretical amount) of a solid melting at 141-1440 (Note 5). If a crystalline product is desired, the acid is dissolved in about 500 cc. of hot 50 per cent alcohol and then cooled. The melting point after recrystallization is 144-1450. 

A. Quinoxaline. One hundred thirty-five grams (1.25 moles) of o-phenylenediamine is dissolved in 2 1. of water, and the solution is heated to 70°. With stirring, a solution of 344 g. (1.29 moles) of glyoxal-sodium bisulfite (Note 1) in 1.5 1. of hot water (about 80°) is added to the o-phenylenediamine solution. The mixture is allowed to stand for 15 minutes and then is cooled to about room temperature and 500 g. of sodium carbonate monohydrate (Note 2) is added. The quinoxaline separates as an oil or as a crystalline solid if the mixture is sufficiently cool. The... 

Sodium Bisulfite. Sodium bisulfite, NaHS03, exists in solution but is not a stable compound in the solid state. The anhydrous sodium bisulfite of commerce consists of sodium metabisulfite, Na Og. Aqueous sodium bisulfite solution, having specific gravity 1.36 and containing the equivalent of 26—27 wt % S02, is a commercial product. 

Into a solution of residue 59 (101 mg, 0.1 mmol) in 20 mL of dry toluene, kept at 60°C, was syringed, during 18 h and under argon, a freshly prepared solution of samarium diiodide in benzene-HMPA (9 1, v/v 6.3 mL, 0.51 mmol) which has been diluted with 3.8 mL of dry benzene. The solvents were distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was taken up in 10 mL of diethyl ether. The ether solution was washed with 10% aqueous solution of sodium bisulfite, then water, dried (MgS04), and concentrated. The crude product was dissolved in 1.5 mL of tetrahydrofuran and treated during 30 min at room temperature with 1.5 mL of a 40% aqueous solution of HF. The solution was neutralized with solid sodium carbonate, and concentrated. Flash chromatography on silica gel (cyclohexane-ethyl acetate, 3 1 to 1 2) afforded the product 80 (40.6 mg, 50%), a single isomer, as an amorphous solid. It was characterized by its diacetate [a]D +36° (c 4.0, CHClj). 

A. Preparation of Cuprous Hydroxide.—Cuprous chloride is prepared from a solution of 500 g. (2 moles) of crystallized copper sulfate and 150 g. (2.55 moles) of sodium chloride in 2.5 1. of water (Org. Syn. 3, 33) by the gradual addition of sodium sulfite (from no g. of sodium bisulfite). After decanting the supernatant solution, the precipitate of cuprous chloride is added to a solution of 350 cc. of 6 N-sodium hydroxide in 1 1. of water contained in the 4-I. beaker in which the main synthesis is to be performed, the last portion of solid cuprous chloride being washed in with 1 1. of water. After vigorously stirring for a few minutes, the heavy precipitate of deep orange-colored cuprous hydroxide is permitted to settle and the supernatant...
