The microdetermination of nitrogen in organic compounds by the rapid combustion process

Summary A method is described for the microdetermination of nitrogen in organic compounds which is based on the rapid combustion process. The sample is burned in a fast stream of carbon dioxide-oxygen mixture in a tube provided with an empty combustion chamber. The products formed are led over hot copper, thus removing excess of oxygen and reducing the nitrogen oxides. The nitrogen is swept out with the transport gas into a nitrometer, collected over potash solution and measured. A single determination may be completed in about 20 minutes, which includes the cooling period of the nitrogen prior to measuring the volume. Compounds which burn only with difficulty when subjected to thePregl-Dumas procedure have been analysed satisfactorily by the new method.It is shown that commercial oxygen contains up to 0.07% of inert gases and is therefore unsuitable in the nitrogen method for oxidising nitrogenous chars. An electrolytic cell which provides a continuous supply of blank-free oxygen, and hydrogen for regeneration of the copper filling has been constructed as a permanent part of the apparatus.Complete reduction of the nitrogen oxides and oxygen by the large amount of metallic copper (ca. 20 cm) is accomplished at the flow rate range of 15–20 ml per minute employed.Evidence has been obtained that present-day quartz tubing of British manufacture becomes porous in the course of time when heated in contact with copper oxide on copper in an inert atmosphere of carbon dioxide, giving high blanks.

Zusammenfassung Ein Schnellverfahren zur Mikrobestimmung von Stickstoff in organischen Verbindungen wird beschrieben. Die Probe wird in einem raschen Kohlen-dioxyd-Sauerstoff-Strom in einem Rohr mit besonderem T-förmigem Verbrennungsteil vergast. Die Verbrennungsprodukte leitet man über erhitztes Kupfer, um überschüssigen Sauerstoff zu entfernen und die Oxyde des Stickstoffes zu reduzieren. Der Stickstoff wird mit Hilfe des Transportgases in ein Azotometer ausgespült, über Kalilauge aufgefangen und gemessen. Eine Einzelbestimmung dauert etwa 20 Minuten einschließlich der für die Abkühlung des Azotometers nötigen Zeit. Substanzen, die nachPreglDumas nur schwer analysierbar sind, konnten nach der neuen Methode befriedigend untersucht werden.Handelsüblicher Sauerstoff enthält bis zu 0,07% inerte Gase und eignet sich daher nicht zur Verbrennung stickstoffhaltiger Verkohlungsprodukte. Ein Gerät zur kontinuierlichen elektrolytischen Gewinnung blindwertfreien Sauerstoffes, das außerdem auch Wasserstoff zur Reduktion der Kupferdrahtfüllung liefert, bildet einen Teil der angegebenen Apparatur.Die vollständige Reduktion der Stickstoffoxyde und des Sauerstoffes ist bei der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit von 15 bis 20 ml/Minute durch die große Menge metallischen Kupfers sichergestellt.Es hat sich gezeigt, daß derzeit Quarzrohre britischer Herkunft im Lauf der Zeit beim Erhitzen in Kohlendioxydatmosphäre in Gegenwart von Kupfer oder Kupferoxyd porös werden und daher hohe Blindwerte verursachen.

Résumé On décrit une méthode pour le microdosage de l'azote dans des composés organiques, basée sur le procédé de combustion instantanée. L'échantillon est brûlé dans un rapide courant de mélange CO₂-O₂ dans un tube muni d'une chambre à combustion vide. Les produits formés sont dirigés sur du cuivre chauffé ce qui fixe l'oxygène en excès et réduit les oxydes d'azote. L'azote est balayé vers le nitromètre, recueilli sur la solution de potasse et mesuré. Une seule détermination peut se faire en 20 minutes environ y compris la période de refroidissement de l'azote avant mesure du volume. Les composés ne brûlant qu'avec difficulté quand on les traite par la méthode deDumas-Pregl ont été analysés d'une manière satisfaisante quand on les traite par le nouveau procédé.On montre que l'oxygène commercial contient jusqu'à 0,07% de gaz inertes et que par conséquent, il ne convient pas dans la méthode à l'azote pour oxyder les goudrons azotés. Une cuve à électrolyse qui fournit un débit continu d'oxygène exempt d'impuretés et de l'hydrogène pour la régénération de la tournure de cuivre a été installée comme faisant partie intégrante de l'appareil.La réduction complète des oxydes de l'azote et de l'oxygène par le grand excès de cuivre métallique (environ 20 cm) s'effectue à la vitesse de 15 à 20 ml par minute de fonctionnement. On a mis en évidence le fait que les tubes de quartz actuellement fabriqués par les usines anglaises deviennent poreux au cours du temps quand on les chauffe dans une atmosphère inerte de gaz carbonique, ce qui donne lieu à des témoins élevés.

     

Calculations of the enthalpies of formation of oxygen-containing adamantane derivatives by quantum-chemical methods

The enthalpies of formation of oxygen-containing adamantane derivatives were calculated using the semiempirical quantum-chemical PM3, MINDO, AM1, and MNDO methods implemented in the MOPAC package. The calculated and experimental values were compared. The best correlation was obtained for AM1 calculations. This method was therefore used to calculate the enthalpies of formation of 20 oxygen-containing adamantane derivatives.     

Determination of trace amounts of phosphorus in organic compounds by wickbold combustion

Summary Wickbold combustion in a standard quartz apparatus with a suction burner is suitable for phosphorus determination in acetonesoluble materials if the samples are burned together with an organic halide, e. g. carbon tetrachloride. Probably phosphorus halides are formed which pass through the hot parts of the apparatus fast enough not to react with the quartz walls. The recovery is 95–100% for amounts of phosphorus up to 3.5 mg per combustion.

Determination of micro-amounts of sulphur in organic compounds by combustion and reduction

Summary A rapid sensitive method for the determination of microgram amounts of sulphur is described. Sulphur (free or combined) in organic substances is oxidised completely in an oxygen atmosphere over a platinum gauze catalyst after a preliminary incomplete combustion in air. The oxides of sulphur are collected on silver gauze at 550°. The oxygen is purged from the apparatus with a stream of nitrogen and then the silver sulphate is heated in a stream of hydrogen to yield hydrogen sulphide which is collected in an alkaline zinc acetate solution and subsequently determined spectrophotometrically by the methylene blue method.The recovery of sulphur in the range 5–40g was 100±5%. The method takes less than 25 minutes for a single determination and is reliable for the determination of as little as1 g of sulphur in all types of organic compounds. Solid, liquid, or gaseous samples may be used.

Eine Einzelbestimmung dauert weniger als 25 Minuten. Für alle Arten organischer Verbindungen, ob fest, flüssig oder gasförmig, eignet sich das Verfahren für die Bestimmung von 1g Schwefel und darüber.

La méthode demande moins de 25 minutes pour un dosage individuel et reste valable pour les teneurs descendant jusqu'à 1g de soufre dans les composés organiques de toutes natures. On peut utiliser des échantillons solides, liquides ou gazeux.

     

Determination of the energies of combustion and enthalpies of formation of nitrobenzenesulfonamides by rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry

The energies of combustion for 2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (cr), 3-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (cr), and 4-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (cr) were determined using a recently described rotating-bomb combustion calorimeter. The condensed phase molar energies of combustion obtained were ?(3479.2 ± 1.0) kJ · mol^?1 for 2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (cr), ?(3454.2 ± 1.1) kJ · mol^-1 for 3-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (cr), and ?(3450.1 ± 1.9) kJ · mol^-1 for 4-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (cr). From these combustion energy values, the standard molar enthalpies of formation in the condensed phase were obtained as: ?(341.3 ± 1.3) kJ · mol^?1, ?(366.3 ± 1.3) kJ · mol^?1, and ?(370.4 ± 2.1) kJ · mol^?1, respectively. Polyethene bags were used as an auxiliary material in the combustion experiments. The heat capacities and purities of the compounds were determined using a differential scanning calorimeter.     

Accurate prediction of enthalpies of formation for a large set of organic compounds

This article describes a multiparameter calibration model, which improves the accuracy of density functional theory (DFT) for the prediction of standard enthalpies of formation for a large set of organic compounds. The model applies atom based, bond based, electronic, and radical environmental correction terms to calibrate the calculated enthalpies of formation at B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) level by a least‐square method. A diverse data set of 771 closed‐shell compounds and radicals is used to train the model. The leave‐one‐out cross validation squared correlation coefficient q² of 0.84 and squared correlation coefficient r² of 0.86 for the final model are obtained. The meanabsolute error in enthalpies of formation for the dataset is reduced from 4.9 kcal/mol before calibration to 2.1 kcal/mol after calibration. Five‐fold cross validation is also used to estimate the performance of the calibration model and similar results are obtained. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2010     

Parameters for calculation of standard enthalpies of formation of organic compounds in the liquid state

Conclusions A system of parameters for the calculation of standard enthalpies of formation of organic compounds has been developed. The system is based on group increments. It has been shown during the calculation of enthalpy of formation of polyfunctional compounds that in order to obtain accuracy close to the experimental value it is necessary to introduce corrections accounting for the interaction between the functional groups.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 372–375, February, 1986.     

Solution enthalpies of hydroxylic compounds

Solution enthalpies of adamantan-1-ol, 2-methyl- butan-2-ol, and 3-methylbutan-1-ol have been measured at 298.15 K, in a set of 16 protogenic and non-protogenic solvents. The identification and quantification of solvent effects on the solution processes under study were performed using quantitative-structure property relationships. The results are discussed in terms of solute–solvent–solvent interactions and also in terms of the influence of compound’s size and position of its hydroxyl group.     

Direct observation of hydrophobic interactions in aqueous solutions of organic compounds by supercooling and enthalpies of mixing

Supercooling temperatures and enthalpies of mixing with some solvents have been examined for two kinds of solutions subjected to different thermal treatments (solutions I and II) of tetrahydrofuran (THF), isopropyl alcohol (2-PrOH), and ethyleneglycol butylether (BE), and ethyleneglycol isobutylether (i-BE) in order to observe more directly the structural organization of water molecules around a nonpolar molecule in an aqueous solution. For THF and 2-PrOH solutions, supercooling temperatures of solution I were found to be 2–3 degrees higher than those of solution II, and differences H_I-H_II were found to be about 3 kJ mol^–1. It has been concluded that these results directly reflect the difference in the stability of hydrogen-bonded water networks in an aqueous solution.     

Microdetermination of fluorine in organic compounds by oxygen flask combustion and conductometric titration

For the conductometric titration of fluoride with calcium acetate, solvent system in sample solution and titrant, concentration, and acidity of sample solution were examined to establish the titration conditions. Results of these examinations were transferred to the microdetermination of fluorine in organic compounds using oxygen flask combustion method.Comparative examination between quartz and Pyrex flasks for the combustion of fluorine samples indicated that good results were obtained by the use of the former flask, whereas the use of the latter one gave negative values of 1.0–1.6% due to the formation of boron fluoride during the combustion.     

Spectrophotometric microdetermination of bismuth in organic compounds after oxygen-flask combustion

A method has been developed for the micro and submicro determination of bismuth in organic compounds, based on combustion in an oxygen-filled flask, provided with a silica spiral instead of the conventional platinum holder (which alloys with bismuth). After absorption of the products in hydrochloric acid (1 + 1), the solution is chemically treated to convert the bismuth into the orange-yellow BiI(-)(4) complex, then the absorbance is measured at 465 nm. Analysis of 12 organic compounds containing 28-74% of bismuth yielded satisfactory results with a maximum standard deviation of 0.4%.     

Oxide catalyst for the combustion of organic compounds in industrial waste gases

An oxide catalyst for combustion of organic compounds in exhaust gases from plastics plants has been developed. As the active catalyst phase, cupric cobaltate is supported on -Al₂O₃ carrier. Its catalytic activity in the test reaction of propylene oxidation was compared with that of the platinum catalyst used so far. The results show that the new catalyst can replace platinum in the above process.

Removal of volatile organic compounds from activated carbon by thermal desorption and catalytic combustion

The thermal desorption of saturated activated carbon discharged from an industrial adsorber and catalytic oxidation of desorbed products over a Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst were investigated. The activated carbon is almost completely regenerated by flushing with air at 200°C for 30 min. Desorbed products are fully oxidized over the Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst above 275°C. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Spectrophotometric microgram determination of copper in organic compounds by wet or oxygen flask combustion

Summary Spectrophotometric Microgram Determination of Copper in Organic Compounds by Wet or Oxygen Flask Combustion A spectrophotometric method for the microgram (2–30 ppm) determination of copper in organic compounds after wet digestion or oxygen flask combustion has been developed. The copper content is determined through the formation of the molybdenum blue complex, which is formed by the addition of 1 ml of each of 1% KCN, 1% phosphomolybdic acid and 1M HCl solutions, in the order mentioned. The absorbance is measured at 725 nm. A series of 10 compounds with 10–40% copper gave highly satisfactory results. The total average error is ±0.05% and the overall standard deviation value is 0.220. The method described is rapid, simple and accurate; the reagents required are cheap and readily available.     

Prediction of vapor pressures and enthalpies of vaporization of organic compounds from the normal boiling point temperature

Recently, our Laboratory proposed a model for the prediction of vapor pressures of organic compounds that requires only the knowledge of the normal boiling point of the compound involved, and a compound specific K_f for which generalized expressions for several classes of organic compounds as functions of the normal boiling point and the molecular weight were developed.In this work our model is compared with the one proposed in Lyman's book, which is similar to our model but uses different K_f values. The results indicate that our model provides very satisfactory results in the temperature range from the melting up to the normal boiling point and up to the critical, where no hydrogen-bonding is involved. Also, it is proven that the accuracy of our model is much better than that proposed by Lyman, especially for the high molecular weight compounds.Finally, our model is used for the prediction of enthalpies of vaporization at the normal boiling point. Excellent results are obtained that are comparable or better than those obtained with two recommended models in “The Properties of Gases and Liquids” book, where the latter, however, require as input information except from the normal boiling point the critical properties of the compound involved as well.     

Investigations of oxidizing additives in flash combustion of organic chlorine compounds

Summary The suitability of V₂O₅ and Co₃O₄ deposited on porous silica as the combustion aids for flash combustion of organic chlorine compounds has been studied. The chlorine recovery as a function of sweep-out time with a stream of dry or moist oxygen was determined. Quantitative removal of chlorine from a tube inca. 10 min can be achieved only with a stream of moist oxygen. Combustion in a stream of moist oxygen in the presence of Co₃O₄ precludes final gravimetric determination of chlorine by binding it on metallic silver, because the capacity of the silver for reaction with chlorine in the form of HCl rapidly decreases, falling to about 30% of the initial value after only 5 determinations. Iodogravimetric determination of the chlorine yields correct results and allows simultaneous determination of carbon, for samples up to 45 mg.

Untersuchungen über Oxydationszusätze bei der Entflammungsmineralisation organischer Chlorverbindungen

Zusammenfassung Die Eignung von V₂O₅ und Co₃O₄ als Zusatzmittel auf porösem Kiesel zur Förderung der Schnellverbrennung von organischen Chlorverbindungen wurde untersucht. Die Chlorausbeute als Funktion der Ausspülzeit mit trockenem oder feuchtem Sauerstoff wurde bestimmt. Die quantitative Entfernung des Chlors aus dem Verbrennungsrohr in ca. 10 min gelingt nur mit einem Strom feuchten Sauerstoffs. Die Verbrennung in feuchtem Sauerstoff bei Gegenwart von Co₃O₄ schließt die gravimetrische Chlorbestimmung durch Bindung an metallisches Silber aus, da dessen Reaktionskapazität mit Chlor in der Form von HCl rasch abfällt, so daß sie bereits nach fünf Bestimmungen nur mehr etwa 30% beträgt. Die jodgravimetrische Bestimmung des Chlors gibt korrekte Ergebnisse und erlaubt bei Einwaagen bis zu 45 mg die gleichzeitige Bestimmung des Kohlenstoffs.
