Dinitrogeri pentoxide is the anhydride of nitric acid and is prepared by removing water from pure nitric acid by means of phosphorus (V) oxide. It is a crystalline solid having the ionic structure of (N02) (N03) , nitronium nitrate (the nitronium ion is mentioned later). It decomposes above 273 K, thus ... 

Phosphorus(V) oxide will remove water from acids to give the acid anhydride. For example, if nitric acid is distilled with it. dinitrogen pentoxide is formed ... 

Fit a 750 ml. round-bottomed flask with a fractionating column attached to a condenser set for downward distillation. Place 500 g. of diacetone alcohol (the crude product is quite satisfactory), 01 g. of iodine and a few fragments of porous porcelain in the flask. Distil slowly. with a small free flame (best in an air bath) and collect the following fractions (a) 56-80° (acetone and a little mesityl oxide) (6) 80-126° (two layers, water and mesityl oxide) and (c) 126-131° (mesityl oxide). Whilst fraction (c) is distilling, separate the water from fraction (6), dry with anhydrous potassium carbonate or anhydrous magnesium sulphate, and fractionate from a small flask collect the mesityl oxide at 126-131°. The yield is about 400 g. 

Anhydrous Acetic Acid. In the manufacture of acetic acid by direct oxidation of a petroleum-based feedstock, solvent extraction has been used to separate acetic acid [64-19-7] from the aqueous reaction Hquor containing significant quantities of formic and propionic acids. Isoamyl acetate [123-92-2] is used as solvent to extract nearly all the acetic acid, and some water, from the aqueous feed (236). The extract is then dehydrated by azeotropic distillation using isoamyl acetate as water entrainer (see DISTILLATION, AZEOTROPIC AND EXTRACTIVE). It is claimed that the extraction step in this process affords substantial savings in plant capital investment and operating cost (see Acetic acid and derivatives). A detailed description of various extraction processes is available (237). 

The catalyst used in the production of maleic anhydride from butane is vanadium—phosphoms—oxide (VPO). Several routes may be used to prepare the catalyst (123), but the route favored by industry involves the reaction of vanadium(V) oxide [1314-62-1] and phosphoric acid [7664-38-2] to form vanadyl hydrogen phosphate, VOHPO O.5H2O. This material is then heated to eliminate water from the stmcture and irreversibly form vanadyl pyrophosphate, (V(123,124). Vanadyl pyrophosphate is befleved to be the catalyticaHy active phase required for the conversion of butane to maleic anhydride (125,126). 

Bubble columns in series have been used to establish the same effective mix of plug-flow and back-mixing behavior required for Hquid-phase oxidation of cyclohexane, as obtained with staged reactors in series. WeU-mixed behavior has been established with both Hquid and air recycle. The choice of one bubble column reactor was motivated by the need to minimize sticky by-products that accumulated on the walls (93). Here, high air rate also increased conversion by eliminating reaction water from the reactor, thus illustrating that the choice of a reactor system need not always be based on compromise, and solutions to production and maintenance problems are complementary. Unlike the Hquid in most bubble columns, Hquid in this reactor was intentionally weU mixed. 

Zinc oxide is a common activator in mbber formulations. It reacts during vulcanization with most accelerators to form the highly active zinc salt. A preceding reaction with stearic acid forms the hydrocarbon-soluble zinc stearate and Hberates water before the onset of cross-linking (6). In cures at atmospheric pressure, such as continuous extmsions, the prereacted zinc stearate can be used to avoid the evolution of water that would otherwise lead to undesirable porosity. In these appHcations, calcium oxide is also added as a desiccant to remove water from all sources. 

Dimethyl sulfoxide occurs widely at levels of <3 ppm. It has been isolated from spearmint oil, com, barley, malt, alfalfa, beets, cabbage, cucumbers, oats, onion, Swiss chard, tomatoes, raspberries, beer, coffee, milk, and tea (5). It is a common constituent of natural waters, and it occurs in seawater in the 2one of light penetration where it may represent a product of algal metaboHsm (6). Its occurrence in rainwater may result from oxidation of atmospheric dimethyl sulfide, which occurs as part of the natural transfer of sulfur of biological origin (7,8). 

Copper Corrosion Inhibitors. The most effective corrosion inhibitors for copper and its alloys are the aromatic triazoles, such as benzotriazole (BZT) and tolyltriazole (TTA). These compounds bond direcdy with cuprous oxide (CU2O) at the metal surface, forming a "chemisorbed" film. The plane of the triazole Hes parallel to the metal surface, thus each molecule covers a relatively large surface area. The exact mechanism of inhibition is unknown. Various studies indicate anodic inhibition, cathodic inhibition, or a combination of the two. Other studies indicate the formation of an insulating layer between the water surface and the metal surface. A recent study supports the idea of an electronic stabilization mechanism. The protective cuprous oxide layer is prevented from oxidizing to the nonprotective cupric oxide. This is an anodic mechanism. However, the triazole film exhibits some cathodic properties as well. 

Antimony(Ill) fluoride may be prepared by treating antimony trioxide or trichloride with hydrofluoric acid. Pure SbF is then obtained by carefully evaporating all of the water from the cmde product, which is subsequently sublimed. SbF does not hydrolyze as readily as do the other antimony ttihahdes. When heated in open air at 100°C, a crystalline soHd quickly forms of composition Sb302(0H)2F3, which, upon further heating, is transformed into antimony oxide fluoride [11083-22-0] SbOF. This compound may also be prepared by heating 1 1 mixtures of Sb203 and SbF. There are three known crystalline modifications. 

Beryllium Nitrate. BeryUium nitrate tetrahydrate [13516-48-0], Be(N02)2 4H2O, is prepared by crystallization from a solution of beryUium hydroxide or beryllium oxide carbonate in a slight excess of dilute nitric acid. After dissolution is complete, the solution is poured into plastic bags and cooled to room temperature. The crystallization is started by seeding. Crystallization from more concentrated acids yields crystals with less water of hydration. On heating above 100°C, beryllium nitrate decomposes with simultaneous loss of water and oxides of nitrogen. Decomposition is complete above 250°C. 

From Boric Oxide and Alcohol. To avoid removing water, boric oxide, B2O3, can be used in place of boric acid. The water of reaction (eq. 4) is consumed by the oxide (eq. 5). Because boric acid reacts with borates at high temperatures, it is necessary to filter the reaction mixture prior to distillation of the product. Only 50% of the boron can be converted to ester by this method. In cases where this loss can be tolerated, the boric oxide method is convenient. This is particularly tme for methyl borate and ethyl borate preparation because formation of the undesirable azeotrope is avoided. 

The third key section of the process deals with ethylene oxide purification. In this section of the process, a variety of column sequences have been practiced. The scheme shown in Figure 2 is typical. The ethylene oxide-rich water streams from both the main and purge absorbers are combined, and after heat exchange are fed to the top section of a desorber where the absorbate is steam stripped. The lean water from the lower section of the desorber is virtually free of oxide, and is recirculated to the main and purge absorbers. The concentrated ethylene oxide vapor overhead is fed to the ensuing stripper for further purification. If the desorber is operated under vacuum, a compressor is required. 

In this work ion-exchange and gel-permeation chromatography coupled with membrane filtration, photochemical oxidation of organic metal complexes and CL detection were applied to the study of the speciation of cobalt, copper, iron and vanadium in water from the Dnieper reservoirs and some rivers of Ukraine. The role of various groups of organic matters in the complexation of metals is established. 

Transpiration is the movement of water from the root system up to the leaves and its subsequent evaporation to the atmosphere. This process moves nutrients throughout the plant and cools the plant. Respiration is a heat-producing process resulting from the oxidation of carbohydrates by O2 to form CO2 and H2O, as shown in Eq. (8-2).
