Ultra Pure

Silicon is prepared commercially by heating silica and carbon in an electric furnace, using carbon electrodes. Several other methods can be used for preparing the element. Amorphous silicon can be prepared as a brown powder, which can be easily melted or vaporized. The Gzochralski process is commonly used to produce single crystals of silicon used for solid-state or semiconductor devices. Hyperpure silicon can be prepared by the thermal decomposition of ultra-pure trichlorosilane in a hydrogen atmosphere, and by a vacuum float zone process. 

Ultra-pure gallium has a beautiful, silvery appearance, and the solid metal exhibits a conchoidal fracture similar to glass. The metal expands 3.1 percent on solidifying therefore, it should not be stored in glass or metal containers, because they may break as the metal solidifies. 

The metal can be supplied in ultra pure form (99.99999+%). The cost is about 3/g. 

It is available in ultra pure form. Indium is a very soft, silvery-white metal with a brilliant luster. The pure metal gives a high-pitched "cry" when bent. It wets glass, as does gallium. 

If one is absolutely serious about ultra pure safrole then it can be separated from the eugenol-free sassafras oil by treatment with mercuric acetate [1,2,3,4] which likes that terminal double bond that only safrole has. The Hg(AcO)2 latches on to safrole at that double bond bringing it into solution as a solid sort of like the way that eugenol was. The safrole can then be separated from its still oily buddies by vacuum filtration. Safrole is then regenerated to its normal oily form by treatment with hydrochloric acid (HCI) which flicks the Hg(AcO)2 off the safrole and the safrole double bond reforms. As it so happens, the mercuric acetate also reforms intact so that it can be reused again such as in one of those...

Production of ultra-pure barium metal has been investigated on a laboratory scale. Redistikation (23,24), zone recrystakization (25,26), and combinations of these techniques (27) have been studied. Impurity levels of less than 100 ppm have been attained. 

Citrazinic acid (2,6-dihydroxyisonicotinic acid) [99-11-6] M 155.1, m >300°, pK] 3.0, pK2 4.76. Yellow powder with a greenish shade, but is white when ultra pure and turns blue on long standing. It is insoluble in H2O but slightly soluble in hot HCl and soluble in alkali or carbonate solutions. Purified by precipitation from alkaline solutions with dilute HCl, and dry in a vacuum over P2O5. The ethyl ester has m 232° (evacuated tube) and a pKa of 4.81 in MeOCH2CH20H [IR Pitha Coll Czech Chem Comm 28 1408 1963]. 

Now for some practical examples of how phase diagrams are used. In the first, a typical design problem, we find out how solders are chosen for different uses. In the second we look at the high-technology area of microchip fabrication and study the production, by zone refining, of ultra-pure silicon. And lastly, for some light-hearted relief, we find out how bubble-free ice is made for up-market cocktails. 

The polymer, like many fluorine-containing polymers has very good weathering resistance and may also be used continuously up to 150°C. Outside of the electrical field it finds use in fluid handling, in hot water piping systems, in packaging and in chemical plant. A widely used specific application for PVDF is in ultra-pure water systems for the semiconductor industry. 

The upshot of all this research since 1954 is rather modest, with the exception of the GE research, which indicates that techniques and individual materials have to be married up an approach which is crucial for one material may not be very productive for another. This is of course not to say that this 40-year programme of research was wasted. The initial presumption of the potential value of ultra-pure metals was reasonable it is the obverse of the well-established principle that minor impurities and dopants can have major effects on the properties of metals.

Conductivity, the electrical conductivity of the water measured in microSiemen/cm is the traditional indicator for mineral impurities. Resistivity, the reciprocal of conductivity, measured in Megohm-cm. It is used in some industries instead of conductivity particularly for ultra-pure water. 

The ability to remove particulates has made RO indispensable in the production of ultra-pure water for microchip washing. Its ability to remove large molecules enables it to produce pyrogen-free water for the pharmaceuticals industry. In the USA and elsewhere RO is permitted for producing the water used in making up injectable preparations. The European Pharmacopoeia still insists on distillation for this, but the larger amounts of water needed for ampoule washing, etc. are often purified by RO. 

Unlike RO, which is essential for producing ultra-pure water, there is little experience of ED in this field. The process has some potential advantages over RO it is less liable to fouling and it can be engineered to waste much less water. Like RO, its costs fall sharply at higher temperatures, but the prospects of improved engineering making this a reality are better than for RO. It offers some prospects particularly where the product water has to be heated in any case (e.g. boiler make-up).

CVD is used in silicon production in two major areas 1) in the production of ultra-pure silicon from which single-crystal ingots are made, and 2) in the preparation of epitaxial and poly cry stalline films. 

Ultra-high-purity Mg has been prepared by either zone refining or vacuum distillation. Zone refining " is a difficult process because of the high volatility and reactivity of the metal. Nevertheless, the process can be carried out in SOj atmospheres where protective films of MgS04 and MgO are formed " ", or in ultra-pure Ar atmospheres "". Zone refining removes a number of major impurities, includ-... 

Micro-pipetting instruments such as the "Eppendorf or "Oxford pipettors with disposable plastic cone tips are customarily employed to dispense the liquid samples into electrothermal atomizers. Sampling problems which are associated with the use of these pipettors are among the troublesome aspects of electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (67,75). The plastic cone-tips are frequently contaminated with metals, and they should invariably be cleaned before use by soaking in dilute "ultra pure nitric acid, followed by multiple rinses with demineralized water which has been distilled in a quartz still. 

Combine a 50-g soil sample with 200 mL of ultra-pure water in a 500-mL round-bottom flask. Seal and shake the mixture vigorously for 2 min. Measure the pH to ensure that the pH of the mixed solution is between 6 and 8. Connect the flask to a water-cooled condenser (ca 30-cm height) and reflux the mixture for 2 h. Cool the solution and transfer >100mL of the extract to a centrifuge tube of sufficient size. Centrifuge the extract for 15 min at 3500 rpm. Save a 100-mL aliquot portion of the supernatant for further cleanup. Adjust the pH to 6-8 with phosphate buffer (pH 7) if needed, add 1 mL of methanol to the extract aliquot portion and shake the solution well.

SBF is a solution that has inorganic ion concentrations similar to those of human blood plasma but does not contain any cells or protein. A brief summary of SBF, introduced by Cho et al. [17], follows. The ion concentrations of SBF are given in Table 11.1 [17]. The pH of SBF is typically adjusted to 7.25 or 7.40 at 36.5 °C. This fluid is a metastable solution containing calcium and phosphate ions supersaturated with respect to hydroxyapatite. SBF is prepared by successively dissolving the reagent-grade chemicals in ultra-pure water in the order given in Table 11.2 [17]. Each new chemical is added after the previous one has completely dissolved. The temperature... 

In principle, each solution can be independent, composed of different solvents, reactants, electrolytes, buffers, and additives. However, aqueous solutions have been used for the most part, as their electrochemical behavior is better understood, and ultra pure water can be obtained by a number of methods. 

NTD wafers were produced by irradiating natural ultra pure Ge crystals by means of a flux of thermal neutrons (see Section 15.2.2). To realize the electrical contacts, both sides of the wafers (disks, 3 cm in diameter, 3 mm thick) were doped by implantation with B ions to a depth of 200nm. The implanted layers are doped to such a high concentration that the semiconductor becomes metallic. Then a layer of Pd (about 20 nm) and Au (about 400 nm) was sputtered onto the both sides of the wafers. Finally, the wafers were annealed at 200°C for 1 h. The wafers are cut to produce thermistors of length 3 mm between the metallized ends (3x3x1 mm3 typical size) the electrical contacts are made by ball bonding with Au wires.
