Sulfated silicas

Although the risk of scale deposition and fouling in the boiler section is related to several factors such as the FW volume demands, boiler pressure, and heat flux density at various boiler surfaces, it is equally a function of the level of FW contaminants such as residual hardness, sulfates, silica, and iron. Thus, as a generality, the higher the quality of FW (reduced levels of contaminants), the lower the risk of deposition on boiler surfaces. 

X-ray dififtaction (XRD) analysis of the freshly calcined catalysts as well as samples used for several hours in the isomerization reaction, only presented the peaks corresponding to the tetragonal form of zirconia. At the same time, for the silica series, XRD confirmed the presence of NiO on the unsulfated catalysts and NiS04 on the sul ted ones. However, XRD did not show any evidence of any of these species for the zirconia series, probably due to their high state of dispersion. Similarly, the XPS data clearly showed the presence of NiO and NiS04 on the unsulfated and sulfated silica-supported catalysts, respectively, but they were not conclusive in the case of zirconia series since both sulfate and oxide species were observed.

The acidic character of silica is shown by its reaction with a large number of basic oxides to form silicates. The phase relations of numerous oxide systems involving silica have been summarized (23). Reactions of silica at elevated temperatures with alkali and alkaline-earth carbonates result in the displacement of the more volatile acid, C02, and the formation of the corresponding silicates. Similar reactions occur with a number of nitrates and sulfates. Silica at high temperature in the presence of sulfides gives thiosilicates or silicon disulfide, SiS2.

With few exceptions, extender pigments can be classified as commodity chemicals. They are manufactured in large quantities with less sophisticated production methods than most pigments. Whereas the majority of pigments is prepared synthetically, extender pigments are mainly manufactured by the beneficiation of natural minerals. Based on chemical composition, extender pigments are carbonate, sulfate, silica-based, and silicate-based compounds. 

J-Butyl Ether. -Butyl ether is prepared by dehydration of -butyl alcohol by sulfuric acid or by catalytic dehydration over ferric chloride, copper sulfate, silica, or alumina at high temperatures. It is an important solvent for Grignard reagents and other reactions that require an anhydrous, inert medium. /7-Butyl ether is also an excellent extracting agent for use with aqueous systems owing to its very low water-solubility.

Water was extracted with n-hexane. Extract was cleaned up on a column filled with [131] anhydrous sodium sulfate, silica, sulfuric impregnated silica, silica. PCBs were eluted with n-hexane. The eluate was solvent exchanged to acetonitrile and further purified on an SPE cartridge filled with 1 g C18-silica. PCBs were recovered with acetonitrile and the eluted fraction was concentrated before GC analysis. 

The sintering behavior ofa diphasic mullite powder starting from colloidal silica (surface area 200 m /gm) and two different Al sources as given in Table 6-12 were studied by Kara and Little (1996). The boehmite-sihca mixture (Powder A) formed mullite at 1250°C in the presence of 5-A1203 and an amorphous phase, and the aluminum sulfate silica mixture (Powder B) formed mullite at 1200°C in the presence of 5/-AI2O3 and an amorphous phase. The bulk density of the compact (Powder A) increased sharply at 1100°C, with the complete elimination of open porosity at 1250° C.
