Sodium phosphate treatment

In dmm boilers sodium hydroxide (caustic), sodium phosphate, or both may be added for pH and scale control. Sodium hydroxide is used more in Europe than in the United States, where sodium phosphate treatment is usually preferred. In boilers operating above 4 MPa (580 psia), caustic concentrations must be carefully controlled to prevent highly corrosive deposits from forming. In the lowest pressure boilers, phosphate treatment may be used to compensate for lower purity feedwater. As the boiler pressure increases, the allowable phosphate concentration decreases, and at 16.5 MPa (2400 psia) or above, equiUbrium phosphate treatment may be used. In this treatment, caustic is added to a low phosphate concentration in the boiler to maintain the proper pH (20). 

Example of an HACCP System. The HACCP system can be used to ensure production of a safe cooked, sHced turkey breast with gravy, which has been vacuum packaged in a flexible plastic pouch and subjected to a final heat treatment prior to distribution (37). Raw turkey breasts are trimmed, then injected with a solution containing sodium chloride and sodium phosphate. Next, the meat is placed into a tumbler. After tumbling, the meat is stuffed into a casing, placed onto racks, and moved into a cook tank, where it is cooked to an internal temperature of at least 71.1°C (160°F). After... 

About 264,000 metric tons of elemental capacity is available in North America, plus another 79,000 t (P equivalent) of purified wet phosphoric acid (14). About 85% of the elemental P is burned to P2 5 hydrated to phosphoric acid. Part of the acid (ca 21%) is used direcdy, but the biggest part is converted to phosphate compounds. Sodium phosphates account for 47% calcium, potassium, and ammonium phosphates account for 17%. Pinal apphcations include home laundry and automatic dishwasher detergents, industrial and institutional cleaners, food and beverages, metal cleaning and treatment, potable water and wastewater treatment, antifree2e, and electronics. The purified wet acid serves the same markets. 

In addition to the requirement to conform to steam purity needs, there are concerns that the boiler water not corrode the boiler tubes nor produce deposits, known as scale, on these tubes. Three important components of boiler tube scale are iron oxides, copper oxides, and calcium salts, particularly calcium carbonate [471-34-1]. Calcium carbonate in the feedwater tends to produce a hard, tenacious deposit. Sodium phosphate is often added to the water of recirculating boilers to change the precipitate from calcium carbonate to calcium phosphate (see also Water, industrial water treatment). 

FIGURE 10.10 The reaction of tridated sodium borohydride with the aspartyl phosphate at the active site of Na, K -ATPase. Acid hydrolysis of the enzyme following phosphorylation and sodium borohydride treatment yields a tripeptide containing serine, homoserine (derived from the aspartyl-phosphate), and lysine as shown. The site of phosphorylation is Asp" in the large cytoplasmic domain of the ATPase. 

On the other hand, the provision of vast numbers of minute nuclei assists the phosphate coating reaction to start at a multitude of centres, resulting in a finely crystalline coating. This effect can be obtained chemically by a predip in a solution of sodium phosphate containing minutely dispersed traces of titanium or zirconium salts or in weak solution of oxalic acid. This type of pre-dip entirely eliminates any coarsening effect due to previous treatment in strong alkalis or acids. 

Deoxy-D-jcylo hexose 6-(dihydrogen phosphate) (21) has also been synthesized (2) the reaction sequence makes use of 3-deoxy l 2,5 6-di-O-isopropylidene D-galactofuranose (16), a compound that can be easily prepared from D-glucose (2, 60). The mono-isopropylidene derivative (17) formed by partial hydrolysis of the di-ketal is converted into the 6-tosylate (18) by reaction with one molar equivalent of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride. From this the epoxide (19) is formed by reaction with sodium methoxide. Treatment of the anhydro sugar with an aqueous solution of disodium hydrogen phosphate (26) leads to the 6-phosphate (20)... 

Phosphate need not be used in boilers where hardness can be eliminated from the FW at all times. Its use is not recommended for boilers that may exhibit severe hideout (see the section on coordinated phosphate treatment). In these circumstances, sodium hydroxide is the preferred alkalizing agent and should be dosed to a maximum of 1.5x the sodium chloride content. 

It is important that the tube surfaces be kept clean to avoid the initiation of corrosion. Regular waterside inspections and, if necessary, chemical cleaning of high-pressure equipment is recommended. The level of chloride that may be tolerated in such boilers during steady operation depends on the type of treatment employed. Where all-volatile alkaline treatments (AVT) are used, then the chloride levels should be lower than where nonvolatile alkalis (NVAT), such as sodium hydroxide and sodium phosphate, are used. The value may vary, depending on whether the boiler is coal-fired or oil-fired. 

Over 50% is used to make glass. Other uses include the preparation of chemicals (such as sodium silicate and sodium phosphate), soaps and detergents, in the pulp and paper industry, and in water treatment. Substantial amounts are exported.

Tribasic calcium phosphate is obtained from naturally occurring minerals for fertilizer applications. The compound may be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of sodium phosphate with calcium chloride with excess of ammonia. Also, it can be prepared by treatment of calcium hydroxide with phosphoric acid ... 

The chemical treatment used depends upon the composition of the mineral. The sodium hydroxide treatment of monazite. Figure 8, is preferably used since it has the advantage of removing phosphates more readily than the sulfuric acid procedure. 

Chlorides, bromides, and iodides can be quantitatively determined by treatment with silver nitrate, and, with suitable precautions, the precipitated halide is washed, dried, and weighed. Chlorides in neutral soln. can be determined by F. Mohr s volumetric process 27 by titration with a standard soln. of silver nitrate with a little potassium chromate or sodium phosphate as indicator. When all the chloride has reacted with the silver nitrate, any further addition of this salt gives a yellow coloration with the phosphate, and a red coloration with the chromate. In J. Volhard s volumetric process, the chloride is treated with an excess of an acidified soln. of silver nitrate of known concentration. The excess of silver nitrate is filtered from the precipitated chloride, and titrated with a standard soln. of ammonium thiocyanate, NH4CN8—a little ferric alum is used as indicator. When the silver nitrate is all converted into thiocyanate AgN03-fNH4CNS=AgCNS +NH4NOS, the blood-red coloration of ferric thiocyanate appears. 

J. J. Berzelius prepared lead phosphate by adding a soln. of lead acetate to a nitric acid soln. of bone-ash, and decomposed the lead phosphate by treatment with dil. sulphuric acid, and removed the last traces of lead by hydrogen sulphide and W. Odling treated a soln. of sodium phosphate in ice-cold water with lead acetate, and decomposed the washed precipitate suspended in water with hydrogen sulphide. The soln., freed from the precipitated lead sulphide, was evaporated to remove the hydrogen sulphide. J. Persoz digested the soln. of bone-ash with ferric or aluminium oxide, decomposed the precipitated phosphate with sulphuric acid, and afterwards extracted with phosphoric acid with alcohol. L. Thompson precipitated the lime by treating the calcium phosphate with oxalic acid. W. H. Ross and co-workers purified phosphoric acid by a process of fractional crystallization. 

Treatments of diseases such as osteoporosis, rickets and osteomalacia, in which there is a disturbance of phosphate levels, is complicated by the interdependence of calcium metabolism. This topic has recently been discussed in relation to clinical medicine21. There is the further difficulty that absorption of phosphate from the bowel can be decreased in the presence of calcium or aluminium salts because of the formation of their insoluble phosphates. Uptake of phosphate by bone is exploited in the treatment of polycythaemia vera by intravenous injection of 32P as sodium phosphate. The resulting irradiation of the neighbouring red bone marrow diminishes the production of red cells.
