Standard lead oxides

Lead tetraacetate consumption is measured conveniently by iodometry.4 The reaction mixture is added to excess potassium iodide solution, usually in the presence of sodium acetate,6 and the iodine liberated is then titrated with standard thiosulfate. Oxidation may also be measured potentiometri-cally,78 210 211 a procedure especially useful for fast glycol groups,78 or with redox indicators.211... 

Puschel and Stefanac ° use alkaline hydrogen peroxide in the oxygen flask method to oxidize arsenic to arsenate. The arsenate is titrated directly with standard lead nitrate solution with 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol or 8-hydroxy-7-(4-sulpho-l-naphthylazo) quino-line-5-sulphonic acid as indicator. Phosphorus interferes in this method. The precision at the 99% confidence limit is within 0.67% for a 3-mg sample. In another variation, Stefanac used sodium acetate as the absorbing liquid, and arsenite and arsenate are precipitated with silver nitrate. The precipitate is dissolved in potassium nickel cyanide (K2Ni(CN)4) solution and the displaced nickel is titrated with EDTA solution, with murexide as indicator. The average error is within + 0.19% for a 3-mg sample. Halogens and phosphate interfere in the procedure. 

The maximum lead level in unleaded fuel has been set at 13 mg/1 Pb in the DIN standard applicable in EEC territories, with a waiver to 20 mg/1 applicable for 6 months after introduction. These levels are anticipated to give a concern of catalyst poisoning if they appear in the field. TWC s are particularly affected by lead oxide compound covering the Rhodium sites, (2). 

The synthesis began with the highly selective addition of divinylzinc to commercially available 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-D-arabinofuranose to provide hep-tenitol 27 in 95% yield. Benzoylation of 27 occurred on the less hindered hydroxyl group, leading mainly to the C-1 position protection (3.5 1 mixture). Standard Swem oxidation conditions then provided the desired 5-keto benzoate 28 (Scheme 2). 

Hydrogenation of alkynes with this new catalyst gives the Z-alkene as the major product, with only trace amounts of the )-alkene. This selective catalyst is called the Lindlar catalyst and hydrogenation of alkynes using it is called Lindlar hydrogenation or Lindlar reduction, named for its discoverer, H. Lindlar (Switzerland). This catalyst has been supplanted by another version that is easier to prepare and less prone to the oxidation of the lead carbonate and lead oxide constituents. It is now the standard and is formally called the Rosenmund catalyst, but it is commonly referred to as a Lindlar catalyst. The new catalyst is composed of palladium-on-barium sulfate (BaS04) and it... 

There are two accepted methods for determining the sulfur dioxide (SO2) concentration in the atmosphere of interest. Both employ the affinity of lead oxide for sulfur dioxide. The most common technique uses sulfation plates. This procedure is covered in dqtail in ASTM G 91, Test Method for Monitoring Atmo heric SO2 Using the Sulfation Plate Technique. These devices are no longer available for purchsise, but must be prepared in the laboratory. The second method is the peroxide candle, similar in its function to the chloride candle. The procedure suggests a 30-day exposure, followed by a standard sulfate analysis. This procedure is covered by ASTM D 2010, Test Methods for Evaluation of Total Sulfation Activity in the Atmosphere by the Lead Dioxide Technique. In both cases, the results are calculated as the capture rate of SO2 per unit area, normally per m. ... 

C.700 HIGH ALUMINA ceramics C.800 OXIDE CERAMICS The standard also defines six classes of glass insulating materials, based on composition G.lOO alkali-lime-silica G.200 and G.300, borosilicates (chemically and electrically resistant respectively) G.400 alumina-lime-silicates G.500 lead oxide alkali silica G.600 barium oxide alkali silica. 

Lead oxide PbO (plumbous oxide) can exist in two different modifications. Red lead oxide PbO precipitates in tetragonal crystals. Yellow lead oxide precipitates in rhombic crystals. Yellow Iccid oxide is also called Litharge (= Stone Silver ) this is because this oxide precipitates as slags when plumbiferous silver is refined. According to Atkins Physical Chemistry, these modifications of lead oxide have the following thermodynamic standard values ... 

Manganese(II) can be titrated directly to Mn(III) using hexacyanoferrate(III) as the oxidant. Alternatively, Mn(III), prepared by oxidation of the Mn(II)-EDTA complex with lead dioxide, can be determined by titration with standard iron(II) sulfate. 

Research sponsored by BFRIP regarding the use of brominated flame retardants shows that there is no evidence that the use of decabromodiphenyl oxide leads to any unusual risk. In addition, a study by the National Bureau of Standards (now National Institute of Science and Technology) showed that the use of flame retardants significantly decreased the ha2ards associated with burning of common materials under reaUstic fire conditions (73). Work ia Japan confirms this finding (74). 

De ndng. The lead from the desilverizing contains 0.5—0.6% zinc which must be removed to meet standard specifications. This may be accompHshed by vacuum distillation, or oxidation using caustic soda, ie, the Harris process. 

Analytical Methods. Molybdenum contents in ore concentrates and technical oxide are most accurately deterrnined gravimetricaHy by precipitating lead molybdate. Molybdenum content is usually not determined on pure compounds or metal. Instead, spectrographic methods are used to measure impurity elements that must be controlled. Carbon and oxygen in metal products are measured by standard gas analysis methods. 

Mutagenicity. The AJ-nitrosamines, in general, induce mutations in standard bacterial-tester strains (117). As with carcinogenicity, enzymatic activation, typically with Hver microsomal preparations, is required. Certain substituted A/-nitrosamine derivatives (12) induce mutations without microsomal activation (31,33,34). Because the a-acetoxy derivatives can hydroly2e to the corresponding a-hydroxy compounds, this is consistent with the hypothesis that enzymatic oxidation leads to the formation of such unstable a-hydroxy intermediates (13) (118). However, for simple /V-nitrosamines, no systematic relationship has been found between carcinogenicity and mutagenicity (117,119—123). 

The standard potential for the anodic reaction is 1.19 V, close to that of 1.228 V for water oxidation. In order to minimize the oxygen production from water oxidation, the cell is operated at a high potential that requires either platinum-coated or lead dioxide anodes. Various mechanisms have been proposed for the formation of perchlorates at the anode, including the discharge of chlorate ion to chlorate radical (87—89), the formation of active oxygen and subsequent formation of perchlorate (90), and the mass-transfer-controUed reaction of chlorate with adsorbed oxygen at the anode (91—93). Sodium dichromate is added to the electrolyte ia platinum anode cells to inhibit the reduction of perchlorates at the cathode. Sodium fluoride is used in the lead dioxide anode cells to improve current efficiency.
