Water chlorinated hydrocarbons

Alkali metals. The principal hazards involved are l)explosions or fire resulting from contact with water, chlorinated hydrocarbons, or other reactive agents 2)fires resulting from exposure to air 3)personnel injury from direct contact with hot alkali metals and 4)caustic soda burns from the residue of a Na-H20 reaction. Storage areas must be dry. Protective clothing must be worn (Ref 105)...

Poly(ethylene oxide)s are soluble in an unusually broad range of solvents, which includes water chlorinated hydrocarbons such as carbon tetrachloride and methylene dichloride aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and toluene ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone and alcohols such as methanol and isopropanol. There is an upper temperature limit of solubility in water for the high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide)s this varies with concentration and molecular weight but is usually between 90 and 100°C. Water-solubility is due to the ability of the polyether to form hydrogen bonds with water these bonds are broken when the temperature is raised, restoring the anhydrous polymer which is precipitated from the solution.

In early designs, the reaction heat typically was removed by cooling water. Crude dichloroethane was withdrawn from the reactor as a liquid, acid-washed to remove ferric chloride, then neutralized with dilute caustic, and purified by distillation. The material used for separation of the ferric chloride can be recycled up to a point, but a purge must be done. This creates waste streams contaminated with chlorinated hydrocarbons which must be treated prior to disposal. 

Pesticides. Chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides (qv) are often found in feed or water consumed by cows (19,20) subsequently, they may appear in the milk, where they are not permitted. Tests for pesticides are seldom carried out in the dairy plant, but are most often done in regulatory or private specialized laboratories. Examining milk for insecticide residues involves extraction of fat, because the insecticide is contained in the fat, partitioning with acetonitrile, cleanup (FlorisH [26686-77-1] column) and concentration, saponification if necessary, and determination by means of paper, thin-layer, microcoulometric gas, or electron capture gas chromatography (see Trace and residue analysis). 

Solubility. Poly(ethylene oxide) is completely soluble in water at room temperature. However, at elevated temperatures (>98° C) the solubiUty decreases. It is also soluble in several organic solvents, particularly chlorinated hydrocarbons (see Water-SOLUBLE polymers). Aromatic hydrocarbons are better solvents for poly(ethylene oxide) at elevated temperatures. SolubiUty characteristics are Hsted in Table 1. 

Physical Properties. Thionyl chloride [7719-09-7], SOCI2, is a colorless fuming Hquid with a choking odor. Selected physical and thermodynamic properties are Hsted in Table 6. Thionyl chloride is miscible with many organic solvents including chlorinated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. It reacts quickly with water to form HCl and SO2. Thionyl chloride is stable at room temperature however, slight decomposition occurs just... 

Solubility. One of PVP s more outstanding attributes is its solubility in both water and a variety of organic solvents. PVP is soluble in alcohols, acids, ethyl lactate, chlorinated hydrocarbons, amines, glycols, lactams, and nitroparaffins. SolubiUty means a minimum of 10 wt % PVP dissolves at room temperature (moisture content of PVP can influence solubiUty). PVP is insoluble in hydrocarbons, ethers, ethyl acetate, j -butyl-4-acetate, 2-butanone, acetone, cyclohexanone, and chlorobenzene. Both solvent polarity and H-bonding strongly influence solubiUty (77). 

Reaction vessels for supercritical water oxidation must be highly corrosion resistant because of the aggressive nature of supercritical water and oxidation reaction products at extreme temperatures and pressures. Supercritical oxidation of PCBs and some chlorinated hydrocarbons can be difficult... 

Methylene chloride is one of the more stable of the chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents. Its initial thermal degradation temperature is 120°C in dry air (1). This temperature decreases as the moisture content increases. The reaction produces mainly HCl with trace amounts of phosgene. Decomposition under these conditions can be inhibited by the addition of small quantities (0.0001—1.0%) of phenoHc compounds, eg, phenol, hydroquinone, -cresol, resorcinol, thymol, and 1-naphthol (2). Stabilization may also be effected by the addition of small amounts of amines (3) or a mixture of nitromethane and 1,4-dioxane. The latter diminishes attack on aluminum and inhibits kon-catalyzed reactions of methylene chloride (4). The addition of small amounts of epoxides can also inhibit aluminum reactions catalyzed by iron (5). On prolonged contact with water, methylene chloride hydrolyzes very slowly, forming HCl as the primary product. On prolonged heating with water in a sealed vessel at 140—170°C, methylene chloride yields formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid as shown by the following equation (6). 

The energy requirements for desorbing 1,1-dichloroethane from activated carbon in a stripping—adsorption process for water purification have been calculated at 112 kj/kg (14). Chlorinated hydrocarbons such as 1,1-dichloroethane may easily be removed from water by air or steam stripping. 

Materials of Construction. GeneraHy, carbon steel is satisfactory as a material of construction when handling propylene, chlorine, HCl, and chlorinated hydrocarbons at low temperatures (below 100°C) in the absence of water. Nickel-based aHoys are chiefly used in the reaction area where resistance to chlorine and HCl at elevated temperatures is required (39). Elastomer-lined equipment, usuaHy PTFE or Kynar, is typicaHy used when water and HCl or chlorine are present together, such as adsorption of HCl in water, since corrosion of most metals is excessive. Stainless steels are to be avoided in locations exposed to inorganic chlorides, as stainless steels can be subject to chloride stress-corrosion cracking. Contact with aluminum should be avoided under aH circumstances because of potential undesirable reactivity problems. 

Groundwater contaminated with chlorinated hydrocarbons is being remediated by a conventional air stripper or a rotary stripper, producing an air stream containing the halogenated hydrocarbon vapors and saturated with water vapor (45), which is then passed through a catalyst bed.

The fluids have reasonably good chemical resistance but are attacked by concentrated mineral acids and alkalis. They are soluble in aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, which is to be expected from the low solubility parameter of 14.9 MPa. They are insoluble in solvents of higher solubility parameter such as acetone, ethylene glycol and water. They are themselves very poor solvents. Some physical properties of the dimethylsilicone fluids are summarised in Table 29.2. 

Chlorinated organics are hydrocarbons that have one or many chlorine atoms. Oxidation of chlorinated hydrocarbons yields COj, water vapor and hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas. Some typical chlorinated organics are TCE and PCE. These organics have calorific values as low as 5,000 BTU/lb.
