Sulfurated potash

Also known as sulfurated potash, liver of sulfur, and potassa sulfurated. 

During the fifteenth century the metals zinc, antimony, bismuth, and probably cobalt were discovered, together with many new reactions now used in quantitative analysis. For example, A. Libavius (1540-1616) noted how ammonia in water could be determined by the blue color formed with a copper salt. Robert Boyle (1627-1691) was the first to use a solution of hydrogen sulfide (which he made from flowers of sulfur, potash, and ammonium chloride) as an analytical reagent, and he noted the black precipitate it formed with lead, gold, and mercury.

Duval Texas Sulfur diversified into potash production, which became its maj or business. In 195 0, the name of the company was changed to Duval Sulfur Potash to reflect the changing portfolio. In 1959, it also began producing copper and molybdenum. In 1953, United Gas and Pennzoil merged, and the semi-independent business became Duval Corporation ten years later. The Frasch mine at Culberson, TX, opened by Duval in 1969, was the second last Frasch mine to close (then owned by Freeport) in the U.S. in 1999. The sulfur removed from this single mine was valued at over 600 million. The name Duval disappeared in...

Acids such as sulfuric, hydrochloric, nitric, and especially hydrofluoric as well as strong alkaUes such as caustic soda and caustic potash are extremely corrosive to animal and vegetable tissue. Extreme caution must be taken to prevent skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion. Violent reactions may occur when dissolving or diluting many of these chemicals with water. 

Manufacture, Shipment, and Analysis. In the United States, sodium and potassium thiocyanates are made by adding caustic soda or potash to ammonium thiocyanate, followed by evaporation of the ammonia and water. The products are sold either as 50—55 wt % aqueous solutions, in the case of sodium thiocyanate, or as the crystalline soHds with one grade containing 5 wt % water and a higher assay grade containing a maximum of 2 wt % water. In Europe, the thiocyanates may be made by direct sulfurization of the corresponding cyanide. The acute LD q (rat, oral) of sodium thiocyanate is 764 mg/kg, accompanied by convulsions and respiratory failure LD q (mouse, oral) is 362 mg/kg. The lowest pubhshed toxic dose for potassium thiocyanate is 80—428 mg/kg, with hallucinations, convulsions, or muscular weakness. The acute LD q (rat, oral) for potassium thiocyanate is 854 mg/kg, with convulsions and respiratory failure. 

Inorga.nicNIa.teria.ls. These include acids (sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric, and phosphoric), bases (caustic soda, caustic potash, soda ash, sodium carbonate, ammonia, and lime), salts (sodium chloride, sodium nitrite, and sodium sulfide) and other substances such as chlorine, bromine, phosphoms chlorides, and sulfur chlorides. The important point is that there is a significant usage of at least one inorganic material in all processes, and the overall toimage used by, and therefore the cost to, the dye industry is high.

The ash of peat forming plant species contains a predominant amount of silicon. This element is particularly abundant in the Sphagnum, where its content achieves 36% by ash weight. Iron and aluminum are the next abundant. The first is accumulated during the peat formation process. The accumulation of calcium and potash is more pronounced than sodium, and the sulfur content is also remarkable. A large amount of mechanically admixed mineral particles (40-80% by ash weight) is found in mosses. This is due to the deposition of fine dispersed mineral material from snowmelting waters and atmosphere dust deposition (Table 1). 

Inorganic chemicals and fertilizers include acids (e.g., sulfuric, nitric) and alkalies (e.g., caustic soda, soda ash), chlorine, ammonia, and ammonia-derived fertilizers. They also include fluorine derivatives (e.g., hydrogen fluoride), phosphates, potash, pigments (e.g., titanium dioxide), and certain metals such as mercury. 

A large amount of potash is imported, in contrast to other mineral production in the United States. In 1999 2.8 billion lb of potash were processed in the U.S., but 10.2 billion lb were imported. This is a good time to compare some important minerals that we use to make various key inorganic chemicals, shown in Fig. 6.6. Phosphate rock leads in production. Salt is near it in production (not shown), followed by lime, sulfur, soda ash, and potash. 

The metal reacts with chlorine at 300°C forming niobium pentachloride, NbCls. It reacts with hot concentrated hydrochloric acid, also forming the pentachloride. Niobium dissolves in hot concentrated sulfuric acid at 170°C. Fused alkalies such as caustic soda and caustic potash attack niobium, embrittling the metal.

Balard found that bromine can be shaken out of solution, first with ether and then with caustic potash. Upon heating the resulting potassium bromide with sulfuric acid and manganese dioxide, one can distil the bromine off and condense it as a red liquid or collect it in water (12). Just as mercury is the only common metal whose liquid phase is stable at room temperature, bromine is the only liquid non-metal.

Philadelphia, Pa, 1821, by triturating in a warm mortac 3 parts by wt of nitre, two of carbonate of potash and one of flower of sulfur. Its effects, when fused in a ladle and then set on fire, were very great. The whole of the melted material exploded with an intolerable noise, and the ladle disfigured, as if. it had received a strong blow downwards.
