Carbonate species

The kinetics of oxidation over noble metals is dramatically different and much more complex. Every chemical species has an inhibiting effect on the rate of oxidation of another species. Carbon monoxide is a particularly strong self-poison, so that its oxidation kinetics usually proceeds at a negative order with respect to CO concentration. The kinetics also... 

Copper may exist in particulate, colloidal, and dissolved forms in seawater. In the absence of organic ligands, or particulate and colloidal species, carbonate and hydroxide complexes account for more than 98% of the inorganic copper in seawater [285,286]. The Cu2+ concentration can be calculated if pH, ionic strength, and the necessary stability constants are known [215,265-267]. In most natural systems, the presence of organic materials and sorptive surfaces... 

In 1999, Binet et al.395 published a review on the response of adsorbed molecules to the oxidized/reduced states of ceria. In light of recent infrared studies on ceria, the assignments for OH groups, methoxy species, carbonate species, and formates are highly instructive. The OH and methoxy species have been briefly discussed. Characteristic band assignments of carbonate and formate species are provided below, the latter formed form the dissociative adsorption of formic acid, the reaction of CO with H2-reduced ceria surface, or via selective oxidation of methanol. Formate band intensities were a strong function of the extent of surface reduction of ceria. 

In Procedure 11.10, step 1 is designed to extract soluble species, carbonates, and species on exchange sites. Step 2 is designed to extract reducible iron and magnesium oxyhydroxides. Step 3 extracts oxidizable organic matter and sulfides, while step 4 extracts any metals remaining after the completion of the previous extractions. Sequential extraction methods have also been used to extract and quantify the amounts of various arsenic species, primarily as As(III) and As(IV) in soil [21],...

The ratio of rates of formation and removal (by H2) of firmly bound species ( carbon ) is different with different metals. Evidently, Pt and Pd keep more carbon on their surfaces than do the good methanation catalysts such as Ni, Ru, or Rh. The surface of, say, Pt is better blocked and thus protected against hydrogenolysis than are surfaces of other metals. The often-found particle size sensitivity of hydrocarbon reactions on Pt (less on other metals) might be related to this. 

Recently, organic carbamates have been synthesized by the reaction of amines and alkyl halides with scC02 in the presence of potassium carbonate and an onium salt (Bu4N)Br [52]. In order to ascertain the carbonyl-active species (carbonate or C02 ), the reaction was carried out also with potassium phosphate instead of the carbonate salt the similar results obtained confirmed that scC02 acted in the process not only as a solvent but also as a carboxylating agent.

Initially the Pd(0) complex oxidatively adds to enol triflate 6 to form a vinyl-Pd(II) species. Carbon monoxide then inserts into the new Pd—C o-bond to yield a palladium(ll)-acyl complex which captures methanol. The methanolysis step is formally a reductive elimination reaction in which the Pd(0) catalyst is regenerated to propagate the catalytic cycle (Scheme 6.8).7... 

As previously noted, reactions with the sample crucible tended to result in depletion of iron oxide species (carbon-crucible tests) or enrichment in AI2O3 (alumina-crucible tests), so that in some cases the composition of the slags was significantly different from that of the original coal ash. 

In the carbonate system, the total alkaliiuty species has been identified as composed of the constituent species carbonate ion, bicarbonate ion, and hydroxide ion. To express all these constituent species in terms of a single parameter, total alkalinity, they need to be expressed in terms of the number of equivalents. Thus, if the concentrations are in terms of equivalents per liter, they can all be added to sum up to the total alkalinity, of course, also in terms of equivalents per liter. 

Carbon compounds may also incorporate atoms of other elements, called heteroatoms, such as nitrogen, sulfur, chlorine, bromine, or others. But whatever the identity of the bonded species, carbons will always sport four bonds, be they single, double, or triple bonds. When a carbon has four single bonds, an interesting property can be created handedness. 

Mo(VI)/HZSM-5 catalysts are active and selective catalysts for the conversion of CH4 to aromatics and the best activity can be obtained when Mo loading is about 2-3%. The activity and the stability of the catalyst can be improved by W addition. W(VI)/HZSM-5 catalyst exhibits excellent selectivity for ethane aromatization and thus it may be potential to be used in ethane aromatization process. The higher activity of Mo(VI)/HZSM-5 for the aromatization of CH4 and for the C-C bond cleavage in C2H6 can be attributed to the formation of CH2 that is stabilized by the formation of Mo=CH2 species. Carbon deposit on the catalyst may take part in the conversion of CH4 to aromaties. 

Rearrangements.- z -lsomerisation occurs readily on excitation of imines, azo compounds and related unsaturated species. Carbon-nitrogen double bond photoisomerisations have been reported in N-methoxy-1-(2-anthryl)ethanimine and in 2-(arylhydrazo)-3(2H)-benzo[b]thiophenones. Irradiation of the -isomer (1) similarly affords the Z-isomer (2) in virtually quantitative yield. The photochromism of the osazone (3), however, has been attributed to photochemically induced tautomeric conversion to the azo chromophore (4) rather than Z,S-isomerisation. ... 

The distribution of the carbon-containing species (carbonic acid, bicarbonate and carbonate) depends upon pH, as shown in Fig. 3.28 (see Box 3.4). Seawater is slightly alkaline, and its pH rarely falls outside the range 7.5-8.5 owing to the buffering effect of the equilibrium between bicarbonate and carbonate ions. Consequently, seawater contains negligible carbonic acid, and OH ions are more abundant than H+, so the main equilibria can be represented by Eqns 3.9a and 3.9b, which are combined to give Eqn 3.9c ... 

In addition to the desired species, the fullerene soot contains a multitude of insoluble components like soot particles or graphitic fragments. Moreover, there may be polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons also. The separation from insoluble contaminants may be affected by extraction because the fuUerenes, and most of all the small ones, exhibit significant solubility in some organic solvents (refer to Section 2.4.1.1). Toluene is most commonly used for this process. Other possible solvents include chlorinated aromahc species, carbon disulphide, benzene and hexane. As an alternative, the fullerene part of the raw material may be separated by sublimation. In any case a mixture of the generated fuUerenes is obtained which has to be resolved into its constituents. In most cases chromatography is used to this purpose.
