Vanadium chloride, removal

Impurities that form volatile chlorides leave as gases at the top of the furnace together with the TiCl. By cooling those gases, most impurities, with the exception of vanadium and siUcon chlorides can be separated from the titanium tetrachloride [7550-45-0]. Vanadium chlorides can be reduced to lower oxidation state chlorides that are soHds highly volatile SiCl can be removed from TiCl by fractional distillation. 

Demet X procedure simply consists of an oxidation at elevated temperature, both the New Demet and the Demet III process has a sulfiding step which transforms the metal oxides to insoluble sulfides. In Demet III the sulfiding step is followed by a partial oxidation step. This oxidation is carefully controlled to produce metal sulfates and sulfides which can be directly removed by washing or be transferred into soluble compounds by the reductive and oxidative washes used in this procedure. In the New Demet process the sulfiding step is followed by chlorination which results in a transformation of the sulfides into washable chlorides. Since vanadium chlorides are volatile, most of the vanadium removal using this procedure occurs in the gas phase. In the Demet X procedure, the vanadium oxides formed are water soluble or can be transformed into water soluble forms by aqueous treatments. In contrast the nickel oxides are insoluble in water.

The vanadium pentoxide catalyst Is prepared as follows Suspend 5 g. of pure ammonium vanadate in 50 ml. of water and add slowly 7 5 ml. of pure concentrated hydrochloric acid. Allow the reddish-brown, semi-colloidal precipitate to settle (preferably overnight), decant the supernatant solution, and wash the precipitate several times by decantation. Finally, suspend the precipitate in 76 ml. of water and allow it to stand for 3 days. This treatment renders the precipitate granular and easy to 6lter. Filter the precipitate with suction, wash it several times with cold 5 p>er cent, sodium chloride solution to remove hydrochloric acid. Dry the product at 120° for 12 hours, grind it in a mortar to a fine powder, and heat again at 120° for 12 hours. The yield of catalyst is about 3 - 5 g. 

Calorised Coatings The nickel- and cobalt-base superalloys of gas turbine blades, which operate at high temperatures, have been protected by coatings produced by cementation. Without such protection, the presence of sulphur and vanadium from the fuel and chloride from flying over the sea promotes conditions that remove the protective oxides from these superalloys. Pack cementation with powdered aluminium produces nickel or cobalt aluminides on the surfaces of the blade aerofoils. The need for overlay coatings containing yttrium have been necessary in recent times to deal with more aggressive hot corrosion conditions. 

In the production of titanium, the chlorination of rutile generates approximately 0.12 tons of waste for every ton of titanium tetrachloride produced. If ilmenite is directly chlorinated, the amount of waste is 1.5 tons for every ton of titanium tetrachloride. Large amounts of ferric chloride are produced along with volatile chlorides and oxychlorides (e.g., aluminum trichloride, silicon tetrachloride, carbon oxychloride, tin tetrachloride, vanadium tetrachloride, vanadium oxychloride) these can be removed by selective distillation. In flu-idized-bed chlorination, the build-up of liquid calcium chloride and magnesium chloride in the fluid bed interferes with the process of fluidization and hence these must be removed. 

The application of the Chelex 100 resin separation and preconcentration, with the direct use of the resin itself as the final sample for analysis, is an extremely useful technique. The elements demonstrated to be analytically determinable from high salinity waters are cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, scandium, thorium, uranium, vanadium, and zinc. The determination of chromium and vanadium by this technique offers significant advantages over methods requiring aqueous final forms, in view of their poor elution reproducibility. The removal of sodium, chloride, and bromide allows the determination of elements with short and intermediate half-lives without radiochemistry, and greatly reduces the radiation dose received by personnel. This procedure was successfully applied in a study of... 

The 0.5 M NH Cl wash of the ion exchange column is a good decontamination step for rubidium radioisotopes and also removes some cobalt and vanadium. Often, the ammonium chloride and the a-HIB solutions appear blue-green which probably results from massive amounts of copper from the target packaging. Both of these column... 

In the following groups some of the valency electrons are d electrons. In chemical processes the s and p electrons of the outer shell will be removed first, but the d electrons can also be removed. The maximum valency is reached when all electrons in the outer shell plus the d electrons are given off, an ion with rare-gas configuration being formed. In addition to this highest valency, all kinds of lower valencies are possible for titanium and vanadium the chlorides are... 

Vanadous Chloride, vanadium trichloride, VC13.—This halide is obtained by the action of hydrogen chloride on finely divided vanadium at 300° to 400° C.,e or by heating vanadium tetrachloride to 140° C. in a current of carbon dioxide, which removes the chlorine formed at the same time. It can be conveniently made also by boiling vanadium oxy-trichloride, VOCl3, vanadium tetrachloride, VC14, or a mixture of both, with sulphur, under reflux. The reactions involved axe 7... 

The flow of carbon dioxide is discontinued, and the stopcock through which it passed is closed. The pump is then operated until the undecomposed vanadium(IY) chloride has been eliminated completely from the trichloride. The oil bath is removed, and carbon dioxide is again passed through the system while the flask.is cracked off at C (Fig. 13). The product is loosened from the bottom of the flask with a glass rod and transferred to the apparatus shown in Fig. 14 while dry carbon dioxide or nitrogen is admitted through tube D. This is accomplished by inserting the neck of the flask at E. 

Phillips and Timms [599] described a less general method. They converted germanium and silicon in alloys into hydrides and further into chlorides by contact with gold trichloride. They performed GC on a column packed with 13% of silicone 702 on Celite with the use of a gas-density balance for detection. Juvet and Fischer [600] developed a special reactor coupled directly to the chromatographic column, in which they fluorinated metals in alloys, carbides, oxides, sulphides and salts. In these samples, they determined quantitatively uranium, sulphur, selenium, technetium, tungsten, molybdenum, rhenium, silicon, boron, osmium, vanadium, iridium and platinum as fluorides. They performed the analysis on a PTFE column packed with 15% of Kel-F oil No. 10 on Chromosorb T. Prior to analysis the column was conditioned with fluorine and chlorine trifluoride in order to remove moisture and reactive organic compounds. The thermal conductivity detector was equipped with nickel-coated filaments resistant to corrosion with metal fluorides. Fig. 5.34 illustrates the analysis of tungsten, rhenium and osmium fluorides by this method.
