Assay Based on the stated or labeled percentage of Potassium Hydroxide (KOH), accurately weigh a volume of the solution equivalent to about 1.5 g of Potassium Hydroxide, and dilute it to 40 mL with recently boiled and cooled water. Continue as directed under Assay in the monograph for Potassium Hydroxide, beginning with cool to 15°.. .. Carbonate (as K2C03) Each milliliter of 1 N sulfuric acid required between the phenolphthalein and methyl orange endpoints in the Assay is equivalent to 138.2 mg of carbonate. Lead Determine as directed under Lead Limit Test, Appendix IIIB, preparing the Sample Solution as follows Dilute the equivalent of 1 g of Potassium Hydroxide (KOH), calculated on the basis of the Assay, with a mixture of 5 mL of water and 11 mL of 2.7 N hydrochloric acid. Use 2 p,g of lead (Pb) ion in the control. 

Reaction is carried out simply by bringing the reactants into contact a gaseous alkene is bubbled through the acid, and a liquid alkene is stirred or shaken with the acid. Since alkyl hydrogen sulfates are soluble in sulfuric acid, a clear solution results. The alkyl hydrogen sulfates are deliquescent solids, and are difficult to isolate. As the examples below show, the concentration of sulfuric acid required for reaction depends upon the particular alkene involved we shall later account for this in a reasonable way (Sec. 6.11). 

Commercially available concentrated sulfuric acid is 18.0 M H2SO4. Calculate the volume of concentrated sulfuric acid required to prepare 4.50 L of 2.25 M H2SO4 solution. 

Example Sulfuric acid has the molecular weight 98.08. If the concentrated acid assays 95.5% and has the specific gravity 1.84, the volume required for 1 liter of a 0.1 molar solution is... 

The purity of a pharmaceutical preparation of sulfanilamide, C6H4N2O2S, can be determined by oxidizing the sulfur to SO2 and bubbling the SO2 through H2O2 to produce H2SO4. The acid is then titrated with a standard solution of NaOH to the bromothymol blue end point, where both of sulfuric acid s acidic protons have been neutralized. Calculate the purity of the preparation, given that a 0.5136-g sample required 48.13 mL of 0.1251 M NaOH. 

Processes for Triacetate. There are both batch and continuous process for triacetate. Many of the considerations and support faciUties for producing acetate apply to triacetate however, no acetyl hydrolysis is required. In the batch triacetate sulfuric acid process, however, a sulfate hydrolysis step (or desulfonation) is necessary. This is carried out by slow addition of a dilute aqueous acetic acid solution containing sodium or magnesium acetate (44,45) or triethanolamine (46) to neutrali2e the Hberated sulfuric acid. The cellulose triacetate product has a combined acetic acid content of 61.5%. 

The most popular device for fluoride analysis is the ion-selective electrode (see Electro analytical techniques). Analysis usiag the electrode is rapid and this is especially useful for dilute solutions and water analysis. Because the electrode responds only to free fluoride ion, care must be taken to convert complexed fluoride ions to free fluoride to obtain the total fluoride value (8). The fluoride electrode also can be used as an end poiat detector ia titration of fluoride usiag lanthanum nitrate [10099-59-9]. Often volumetric analysis by titration with thorium nitrate [13823-29-5] or lanthanum nitrate is the method of choice. The fluoride is preferably steam distilled from perchloric or sulfuric acid to prevent iaterference (9,10). Fusion with a sodium carbonate—sodium hydroxide mixture or sodium maybe required if the samples are covalent or iasoluble. 

Up to 0.4 g/L of the iodine stays in solution and the rest precipitates as crystallized iodine, which is removed by flotation (qv). This operation does not require a flotation agent, owing to the hydrophobic character of the crystallized element. From the flotation cell a heavy pulp, which is water-washed and submitted to a second flotation step, is obtained. The washed pulp is introduced into a heat exchanger where it is heated under pressure up to 120°C to melt the iodine that flows into a first reactor for decantation. From there the melt flows into a second reactor for sulfuric acid drying. The refined iodine is either flaked or prilled, and packed in 50- and 25-kg plastic-lined fiber dmms. 

The Mn ion is so unstable that it scarcely exists in aqueous solution. In acidic aqueous solution, manganic compounds readily disproportionate to form Mn ions and hydrated manganese(IV) oxide, Mn02 2H20 in basic solution these compounds hydroly2e to hydrous manganese(III) oxide, MnO(OH). Sulfuric acid concentrations of about 400 450 g/L are required to stabilize the noncomplexed Mn ion in aqueous solutions. 

Naphthalenesulfonic Acid. The sulfonation of naphthalene with excess 96 wt % sulfuric acid at < 80°C gives > 85 wt % 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (a-acid) the balance is mainly the 2-isomer (P-acid). An older German commercial process is based on the reaction of naphthalene with 96 wt % sulfuric acid at 20—50°C (13). The product can be used unpurifted to make dyestuff intermediates by nitration or can be sulfonated further. The sodium salt of 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid is required, for example, for the conversion of 1-naphthalenol (1-naphthol) by caustic fusion. In this case, the excess sulfuric acid first is separated by the addition of lime and is filtered to remove the insoluble calcium sulfate the filtrate is treated with sodium carbonate to precipitate calcium carbonate and leave the sodium l-naphthalenesulfonate/7J(9-/4-J7 in solution. The dry salt then is recovered, typically, by spray-drying the solution. 

The older methods have been replaced by methods which require less, if any, excess sulfuric acid. For example, sulfonation of naphthalene can be carried out in tetrachloroethane solution with the stoichiometric amount of sulfur trioxide at no greater than 30°C, followed by separation of the precipitated l-naphthalenesulfonic acid the filtrate can be reused as the solvent for the next batch (14). The purification of 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid by extraction or washing the cake with 2,6-dimethyl-4-heptanone (diisobutyl ketone) or a C-1—4 alcohol has been described (15,16). The selective insoluble salt formation of 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid in the sulfonation mixture with 2,3-dimethyl aniline has been patented (17). 

Nickel Sulfamate. Nickel sulfamate [13770-89-3] Ni(S02NH2)2 4H2O, commonly is used as an electrolyte ia nickel electroforming systems, where low stress deposits are required. As a crystalline entity for commercial purposes, nickel sulfamate never is isolated from its reaction mixture. It is prepared by the reaction of fine nickel powder or black nickel oxide with sulfamic acid ia hot water solution. Care must be exercised ia its preparation, and the reaction should be completed rapidly because sulfamic acid hydrolyzes readily to form sulfuric acid (57). 

The hberated iodine is measured spectrometricaHy or titrated with Standard sodium thiosulfate solution (I2 +28203 — 2 1 VS Og following acidification with sulfuric acid buffers are sometimes employed. The method requires measurement of the total gas volume used in the procedure. The presence of other oxidants, such as H2O2 and NO, can interfere with the analysis. The analysis is also technique-sensitive, since it can be affected by a number of variables, including temperature, time, pH, iodide concentration, sampling techniques, etc (140). A detailed procedure is given in Reference 141. 

In converting ESBR latex to the dry mbber form, coagulating chemicals, such as sodium chloride and sulfuric acid, are used to break the latex emulsion. This solution eventually ends up as plant effluent. The polymer cmmb must also be washed with water to remove excess acid and salts, which can affect the cure properties and ash content of the polymer. The requirements for large amounts of good-quaUty fresh water and the handling of the resultant effluent are of utmost importance in the manufacture of ESBR and directly impact on the plant operating costs. 

The Reich test is used to estimate sulfur dioxide content of a gas by measuring the volume of gas required to decolorize a standard iodine solution (274). Equipment has been developed commercially for continuous monitoring of stack gas by measuring the near-ultraviolet absorption bands of sulfur dioxide (275—277). The deterrnination of sulfur dioxide in food is conducted by distilling the sulfur dioxide from the acidulated sample into a solution of hydrogen peroxide, foUowed by acidimetric titration of the sulfuric acid thus produced (278). Analytical methods for sulfur dioxide have been reviewed (279). 

Production and Economic Aspects. Thallium is obtained commercially as a by-product in the roasting of zinc, copper, and lead ores. The thallium is collected in the flue dust in the form of oxide or sulfate with other by-product metals, eg, cadmium, indium, germanium, selenium, and tellurium. The thallium content of the flue dust is low and further enrichment steps are required. If the thallium compounds present are soluble, ie, as oxides or sulfates, direct leaching with water or dilute acid separates them from the other insoluble metals. Otherwise, the thallium compound is solubilized with oxidizing roasts, by sulfatization, or by treatment with alkaU. The thallium precipitates from these solutions as thaUium(I) chloride [7791 -12-0]. Electrolysis of the thaUium(I) sulfate [7446-18-6] solution affords thallium metal in high purity (5,6). The sulfate solution must be acidified with sulfuric acid to avoid cathodic separation of zinc and anodic deposition of thaUium(III) oxide [1314-32-5]. The metal deposited on the cathode is removed, kneaded into lumps, and dried. It is then compressed into blocks, melted under hydrogen, and cast into sticks. 

Two pigment production routes ate in commercial use. In the sulfate process, the ore is dissolved in sulfuric acid, the solution is hydrolyzed to precipitate a microcrystalline titanium dioxide, which in turn is grown by a process of calcination at temperatures of ca 900—1000°C. In the chloride process, titanium tetrachloride, formed by chlorinating the ore, is purified by distillation and is then oxidized at ca 1400—1600°C to form crystals of the required size. In both cases, the taw products are finished by coating with a layer of hydrous oxides, typically a mixture of siUca, alumina, etc. 

Some water samples contain phosphoms forms other than phosphate, eg, polyphosphate, hexametaphosphate, and organic phosphates. These forms can be hydrolyzed to phosphate in hot sulfuric acid solution and deterrnined by the preceding method. The more refractory organic phosphates require digestion in a sulfuric acid—ammonium persulfate solution. Ion chromatography can also be used to measure at 2 to 10 ppb (21). 

In some processes the reactant bases are too weak to be protonated significantly except in the presence of very strong acids such as fuming sulfuric acid or a mixture of concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids, ie, mixed acid. Nitration of toluene, for example, requires such solutions two Hquid phases are present in the reactor. 

Other mixed esters, eg, cellulose acetate valerate [55962-79-3] cellulose propionate valerate [67351-41-17, and cellulose butyrate valerate [53568-56-2] have been prepared by the conventional anhydride sulfuric acid methods (25). Cellulose acetate isobutyrate [67351-38-6] (44) and cellulose propionate isobutyrate [67351-40-0] (45) have been prepared with a 2inc chloride catalyst. Large amounts of catalyst and anhydride are required to provide a soluble product, and special methods of delayed anhydride addition are necessary to produce mixed esters containing the acetate moiety. Mixtures of sulfuric acid and perchloric acid are claimed to be effective catalysts for the preparation of cellulose acetate propionate in dichi oromethane solution at relatively low temperatures (46) however, such acid mixtures are considered too corrosive for large-scale productions.
