Titanium monitoring

Madey and co-workers followed the reduction of titanium with XPS during the deposition of metal overlayers on TiOi [87]. This shows the reduction of surface TiOj molecules on adsorption of reactive metals. Film growth is readily monitored by the disappearance of the XPS signal from the underlying surface [88, 89]. This approach can be applied to polymer surfaces [90] and to determine the thickness of polymer layers on metals [91]. Because it is often used for chemical analysis, the method is sometimes referred to as electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). Since x-rays are very penetrating, a grazing incidence angle is often used to emphasize the contribution from the surface atoms. 

For the visible and near-ultraviolet portions of the spectmm, tunable dye lasers have commonly been used as the light source, although they are being replaced in many appHcation by tunable soHd-state lasers, eg, titanium-doped sapphire. Optical parametric oscillators are also developing as useful spectroscopic sources. In the infrared, tunable laser semiconductor diodes have been employed. The tunable diode lasers which contain lead salts have been employed for remote monitoring of poUutant species. Needs for infrared spectroscopy provide an impetus for continued development of tunable infrared lasers (see Infrared technology and RAMAN spectroscopy). 

Six iron anodes are required for corrosion protection of each condenser, each weighing 13 kg. Every outflow chamber contains 14 titanium rod anodes, with a platinum coating 5 /tm thick and weighing 0.73 g. The mass loss rate for the anodes is 10 kg A a for Fe (see Table 7-1) and 10 mg A a for Pt (see Table 7-3). A protection current density of 0.1 A m is assumed for the coated condenser surfaces and 1 A m for the copper alloy tubes. This corresponds to a protection current of 27 A. An automatic potential-control transformer-rectifier with a capacity of 125 A/10 V is installed for each main condenser. Potential control and monitoring are provided by fixed zinc reference electrodes. Figure 21-2 shows the anode arrangement in the inlet chamber [9]. 

The enantiomeric compositions of the titanium reagents are monitored easily by the reaction with enantiomerically pure chiral aldehydes, such as 2-(fer/-butyldimethylsilyloxy)propanal104. Here, the ratio of diastereomeric products reflects the ratio of enantiomers of the reagent, although a small error arises from double stereodifferentiation95 104.

One of the now-classic examples of process Raman spectroscopy is monitoring the efficiency of converting the anatase form of titanium dioxide to the rutile form by calcining [67-69]. The forms have dramatically different spectra, enabling simple univariate band ratio models to be used. The uncertainty in the mean... 

The view-cell reactor is made of titanium and has two sapphire windows, a gas inlet valve and an outlet valve, as shown in Figure 3. The view cell is interfaced with a pressure transducer, a thermocouple, and a pressure relief valve. The pressure and temperature are computer-monitored during the reaction. 0.6 ml of 50 wt% H2O2/H2O (10.41 mmoles), 0.20ml of pyridine (2.47 mmoles), or some other base, was dissolved in 5 ml of acetonitrile or methanol, and was added to the reactor. 2.2 ml of supercritical CO2 was charged after lOOmg of propylene (2.38 mmoles) had been added to the reactor. The reactor was heated with a band heater at 40 - 70°C for 3, 6, 12, and 24 hr reaction periods. Following a batch conversion experiment, the amounts of products formed were determined by GC and GC/MS. 

In specialty metal processing such as titanium, the metal is milled with a dilute hydrofluoric acid bath. The bath must be purged of the titanium laden waste acid and replenished with fresh acid periodically. As in the stainless steel case, the titanium waste acid can be neutralized with KOH to precipitate out the metals. The fluoride recovery is greatly dependent upon good pH end point control. If pH is monitored carefully, a greater than 90% fluoride recovery can be achieved.

An irreversible tt-ct rearrangement has been observed to occur with the treatment of titanocene dicloride (8) with dimethyl sulfoxide (17). The o complex (9) has been isolated, however, treatment of the reaction mixture with benzene produces the titanium complex of dimethyl sulfoxide (10), and treatment of the reaction mixture with maleic anhydride produces the cyclopentadiene addition product (11). Monitoring the reaction mixture by proton NMR spectroscopy demonstrates the ir-a change in the bonding of the cyclopentadienyl ligands. 

It has been traditionally assumed that condensation is a much slower reaction than substitution of the alkoxide group by the hydroxide however, quite recendy it was shown that the rates of these processes are actually very close. Kinetic study of hydrolysis of titanium and zirconium alkoxides by means of a quick mixing technique with FIIR, SAXS, and conductivity measurements monitoring has shown that hydrolysis is a very quick reaction followed by condensation, which is also a very fast process and occurs after from 25 to 50% of alkoxide groups are substituted by hydroxides (under the experiment conditions this occurs in 80 milliseconds after the beginning of mixing of the reagents) [709].
