Influence of octadecyl dihydrogen phosphate on the formation of active super-fine calcium carbonate

A carbonation process for the synthesis of active super-fine calcium carbonate particles from Ca(OH)(2) slurry at room temperature using a CO(2)-N(2) gas mixture was investigated. Industrial octadecyl dihydrogen phosphate (A) was added as a size-controlling additive and modifier in different reaction periods according to the pH of the medium. Analysis of the reaction products led to the conclusion that the addition of A in the digestion period could inhibit the crystal growth of calcium carbonate, while the addition of A at pH 7 of the medium could modify the surface character of the calcium carbonate particle, which was found to exhibit hydrophobic properties. From transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the hydrophobic property was attributed to the deposition of calcium alkyl phosphates, produced in the reaction mixture, onto the surface of calcium carbonate particle. IR spectra and TGA analysis of the obtained products indicated that A was bound onto the crystalline CaCO(3).     

Synthesis of Calcium Phosphate and Calcium Silicate Composites

A one-step method for preparing composites based on calcium phosphates (CPs) and calcium silicates (CSs) with variable contents of the components is proposed. The combination of chemical analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and simultaneous thermal analysis with mass-spectrometric detection (STA-MS) showed that the coprecipitation of salts from aqueous solutions yielded mixtures of poorly crystallized carbonate hydroxyapatite (CHA) and xonotlite with minor calcite. Scanning electron microscopy and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption showed that nanosized crystallites of these phases during crystallization were combined into mesoporous aggregates (the mean pore size was 6–11 nm) to form micrometer-sized bulk structures with a developed surface. Two-hour calcination of synthesis products at 1000°С yielded mixtures of well-crystallized Са₁₀(РО₄)₆(ОН)₂ and β-CaSiO₃.     

Use of seeds to control precipitation of calcium carbonate and determination of seed nature

Understanding and controlling precipitation reactions is a major challenge for industrial crystallization. Calcium carbonate is a widely studied system: more than 3000 papers have been devoted to the subject over the past 10 years. The first step of the precipitation of calcium carbonate, from relatively concentrated solutions (0.01 mol/L), involves the formation of an initial gel phase which later transforms into calcite, vaterite, or a mixture of both phases. Our work aimed at controlling this first step. Nanosized seeds (8 nm), formed in situ, were used in order to control the often chaotic nucleation step which normally leads to poor phase selection and broad particle size distributions. Seeding has often been used to avoid spontaneous nucleation in metastable solutions for growth mechanism investigations of single-crystal calcium carbonate. Here the ability of a seeding method to control the precipitation reaction evolution even in the case of high supersaturation is demonstrated. The seeds and the presence of a polymeric additive (poly(acrylic acid)) allow the control of the precipitated polymorph and the specific surface area, while maintaining a narrow particle size distribution in the submicron range. Direct characterization methods did not succeed in identifying these nanoseeds; indirect methods using solubility calculations are used to demonstrate their existence and quantify size and number density of the nanosized seeds.     

磷酸二氢铵转化法测定硫酸钡含量

针对目前重晶石中硫酸钡含量测定方法研究不多、进展缓慢的问题,提出了一种对重晶石预处理后测定硫酸钡的方法,采用磷酸二氢铵与重晶石在700℃发生复分解反应,将不溶于水且不溶于酸的硫酸钡转化为可溶于酸的磷酸钡盐,最后依据确定的磷钡比关系,根据总磷含量间接得到钡含量。实验结果表明,磷酸二氢铵与硫酸钡的物质的量之比为2.0,并在700℃的条件下高温煅烧,可使硫酸钡全部转化完全,形成偏磷酸钡,再经过氢氧化钠、双氧水处理,转变为正磷酸氢钡并溶于盐酸中,与喹钼柠酮试剂形成磷钼酸喹啉沉淀,根据沉淀质量可准确计算出样品中硫酸钡的含量。测定的结果准确、方法可行。对测定重晶石中硫酸钡的含量提出一种新的思路和解决方案,具有实际意义。

Molecular Dynamics Study on Microstructure of Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphates Solution

Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to study the internal energy and microstruc-ture of potassium dihydrogen phosphates (KDP) solution at different temperatures. The water molecule was treated as a simple-point-charge model, while a seven-site model for the dihydrogen phosphate ion was adopted. The internal energy functions and the radial dis-tribution functions of the solution were studied in detail. An unusually large local particle number density fluctuation was observed in the system at saturation temperature. It has been found that the specific heat of oversaturated solution is higher than that of unsaturated solution, which indicates the solution experiences a crystallization process below saturation temperature. The radial distribution function between the oxygen atom of water and the hydrogen atom of the dihydrogen phosphate ion shows a very strong hydrogen bond struc-ture. There are strong interactions between potassium cation and oxygen atom of dihydrogen phosphate ion in KDP solution, and much more ion pairs were formed in saturated solution.

RP-HPLC Method for the Simultaneous Estimation of Eight Cardiovascular Drugs

The present study describes a convenient method for the separation and simultaneous determination of eight drugs used in cardiovascular diseases, viz., atenolol (ATN), lisinopril (LISI), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), enalapril maleate (ENA), amlodipine besylate (AMLO), losartan potassium (LOSA), valsartan (VAL) and atorvastatin calcium (ATOR) in pharmaceutical formulations. A ZORBAX Rx-C8 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm particle size) was used with mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile, 10 mM dipotassium hydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 2.2 adjusted with orthophosphoric acid) using a gradient program and quantitative evaluation was performed at 210 nm with a flow rate of 1.0 mL min^?1. Suitability of this method for the quantitative determination of the drugs was proved by validation in accordance with International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The method is selective, precise, robust, accurate and can be used for routine analysis of 15 combination pharmaceutical formulations in quality control.     

Characterization of calcium carbonates used in wet flue gas desulphurization processes

This paper presents an experimental characterization of two sources of calcium carbonate, limestone and calcium carbonate precipitate (CCP) used in wet flue gas desulphurization processes. Characterization of the two carbonate sources was carried out by chemical analysis, IR spectra, thermal behavior, particle size distribution for CCP, BET surface area and absorption capacity of SO₂ in calcium carbonate suspensions. The absorption temperature, suspension concentration and carbonate grain size were found to be the most influential parameters in the absorption capacity measurements.      

A TG analysis of the effect of calcination conditions on the properties of reactive magnesia

The reactivity of MgO obtained from calcination of magnesium carbonate at different temperatures has been investigated by means of hydration in a constant relative humidity environment at 40°C for periods up to 24 days. Natural magnesite and AR grade basic MgCO₃ calcined in the range of 500–1000°C was characterised in terms of surface area, crystallite size, morphology, and hydration rate. It was found that the hydration rate is dependent on the surface area and crystallite size where temperature was the main variable affecting them. The most reactive MgO was produced at the lowest calcination temperature with the highest surface area and the smallest crystallite size. The basic MgO specimens showed higher degree of hydration compared to the natural MgO specimens due to the smaller surface area and larger crystallite size. The low MgO content of the starting natural magnesite is also attributable to the lower reactivity. This preliminary study serves as a mean to investigate potential utilisation of reactive MgO as a supplementary cementitious material in eco-friendly cements.     

UPLC-PDAD Analysis for Simultaneous Determination of Ten Synthetic Preservatives in Foodstuff

A novel and quick ultra performance liquid chromatography-photo diode array detector method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of ten synthetic preservatives in foodstuff. An Acquity BEH C18 column (50 × 2.1 mm i.d., 1.7 μm particle size) was used. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of acetonitrile and 20 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate/phosphoric acid (pH 4.29) buffer at the gradient elution program. The ten compounds behaved linearly in the 0.100–20.0 μg mL^?1 concentration range, with correlation coefficient >0.999. The precision inter- and intra-day of the ten synthetic preservatives at three concentration levels were 0.11–5.75% (RSD). The recoveries at three different concentrations were 88.7–99.0%, with coefficients of variation <6.3%. The method was applied to the determination of preservatives in cola beverages, fruit-flavoured carbonate beverages and fruit juice beverages, and proved its suitability for quick and reliable quality control.     

Electrospun poly(ε‐caprolactone)‐based composites using synthesized β‐tricalcium phosphate

Non‐woven hybrid membranes based on poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) and as‐synthesized β‐tricalcium phosphate (β‐TCP) were obtained by the electrospinning technique. A wide range of composition was investigated, the filler content spanning between 2 and 60 wt%. The synthesis of the β‐TCP powder was accomplished by titration of calcium hydroxide with phosphoric acid followed by calcination of the resulting precipitate at 1100°C. The as‐dried calcium phosphate was characterized by Inductive Coupled Plasma (AES‐ICP), thermal analysis (TG‐DTA), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT‐IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and high temperature X‐ray diffraction analysis (HT‐XRD). The specific surface area (SSA) was evaluated by N₂ adsorption. Microstructure of PCL/TCP membranes was investigated by SEM, energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), XRD analysis, and SSA measurements. The average fiber diameter ranged between 1 and 2 µm, the porosity was 80–90%, and the SSA 16 m²/g. Mechanical properties were determined by uniaxial tensile test. A remarkable enhancement of the tensile modulus was observed for composites containing up to 4 wt% β‐TCP. The ultimate tensile strength ranged between 2 and 3 MPa for samples loaded up to 8 wt%. For most of the samples, the elongation at break was in the range 100–150%. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Flocculation kinetics of precipitated calcium carbonate

When the percentage of filler in paper is increased, the optical properties are improved and the production cost lowered. However, fillers weaken paper strength by decreasing the fibre–fibre bonded area. Little is known about the optimum filler floc size or filler floc properties to allow developing optimum paper characteristics. Consequently, the kinetics of aggregation of scalenohedral precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) filler was studied using various polymers (flocculants, coagulants and dry strength agents). The sodium salt of partially hydrolysed polyvinyl formamide copolymerized with acrylic acid (PVFA/NaAA) or C-starch lead to floc sizes, less sensitive to dosage within a certain range. Results from stability ratios correlate with PCC particle size. The change in particle size measured by photometric dispersion analysis (PDA) correlates well with the change in PCC particle size measured by light scattering/diffraction. Kinetic calculations show the orthokinetic aggregation times to be consistent with the experimental PDA results. The main uncertainty in the orthokinetic times is estimating the effective shear rate. It is proposed that the bridging surface area of PCC particles, the area which can form bonds between PCC particles or aggregates, should be used to study the kinetics of PCC aggregation, and not the total or projected surface area. In polymer induced aggregation, the PCC particle size increases to a plateau value with increasing polymer dosage. Two regions are most pronounced for C-PAM, PVFA/NaAA and A-starch. Region I corresponds to bridging flocculation. Region II is where the particle size reaches a plateau, and not the expected maximum predicted by classical polymer bridging theory or charge neutralisation theory, likely because of a competition between particle aggregation and polymer adsorption.     

A dihydrogen phosphate anionic network as a host lattice for cations in 1‐methylpiperazine‐1,4‐diium bis(dihydrogen phosphate) and 2‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)pyridinium dihydrogen phosphate–orthophosphoric acid (1/1)

In the salt 1‐methylpiperazine‐1,4‐diium bis(dihydrogen phosphate), C₅H₁₃N₂²⁺·2H₂PO₄⁻, (I), and the solvated salt 2‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)pyridinium dihydrogen phosphate–orthophosphoric acid (1/1), C₁₀H₉N₂⁺·H₂PO₄⁻·H₃PO₄, (II), the formation of O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds between the dihydrogen phosphate (H₂PO₄⁻) anions and the cations constructs a three‐ and two‐dimensional anionic–cationic network, respectively. In (I), the self‐assembly of H₂PO₄⁻ anions forms a two‐dimensional pseudo‐honeycomb‐like supramolecular architecture along the (010) plane. 1‐Methylpiperazine‐1,4‐diium cations are trapped between the (010) anionic layers through three N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In solvated salt (II), the self‐assembly of H₂PO₄⁻ anions forms a two‐dimensional supramolecular architecture with open channels projecting along the [001] direction. The 2‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)pyridinium cations are trapped between the open channels by N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. From a study of previously reported structures, dihydrogen phosphate anions show a supramolecular flexibility depending on the nature of the cations. The dihydrogen phosphate anion may be suitable for the design of the host lattice for host–guest supramolecular systems.     

Fillers in polypropylene. II

Part I showed that significant differences exist between calcium carbonate and silicate minerals when incorporated into polypropylene (three grades). It showed further that an ultrafine calcium carbonate, when coated with stearic acid, gives significantly better impact properties to the composite than a coated ground whiting but with no significant effect on its tensile properties. This article examines the effect of particle size and surface coating of chalk-based calcium carbonate on the physical properties of GWE 21 Propathene homopolymer. The effect of variation in filler level was also investigated.     

In situ synthesis and modification of calcium carbonate nanoparticles via a bobbling method

Modified calcium carbonate (CaCO3) nanoparticles with cubic- and spindle-like configuration were synthesized in situ by the typical bobbling (gas-liquid-solid) method. The modifiers, such as sodium stearate, octadecyl dihydrogen phosphate (ODP) and oleic acid (OA), were used to obtain hydrophobic nanoparticles. The different modification effects of the modifiers were investigated by measuring the active ratio, whiteness and the contact angle. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffracti...     

The nature of corrosion products in lead pipes used to supply drinking water to the City of Glasgow, Scotland, UK

Corrosion products, obtained from lead service pipes carrying the public drinking water supply to the Glasgow area, have been characterised by FTIR spectrometry, powder x-ray diffraction spectrometry, flame atomic absorption spectrometry and ion chromatography. As expected, the products which formed in the presence of pH adjusted-water were mainly lead carbonate or basic lead carbonate. Products from areas where the water supply had been treated with orthophosphoric acid and pH adjustment for up to eight years also contained a variable proportion (up to ∼30% w/w) of a phosphate species. This has been identified as an apatite, most probably lead hydroxyapatite, Pb₅(PO₄)₃OH. Received: 3 August 1998 / Revised: 26 August 1998 / Accepted: 28 August 1998     

Effect of Calcium Precursors and pH on the Precipitation of Carbonated Hydroxyapatite

Three types of calcium precursors (nitrate, hydroxide and catbonate) were used in the synthesis of carbonated hydroxyapatite (cHA) using a precipitation method via a chemical reaction with di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate as the phosphate precursor. The precipitation method was chosen over many other methods due to its flexibility to changes in processing parameters to control the phases formed, the particle size, as well as, the morphology of the as-synthesized powders. The focus of the study was on cHA as it is deemed to mimic the composition of the human bone much closer as compared to the stoichiometric hydroxyapatite. When the chemical reaction was completed, the precipitate was dried, ground and characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), electron microscopy (both FESEM and TEM) and particle size analysis. Only the nitrate precursor produced a single-phase carbonated hydroxyapatite (cHA), whilst the other two precursors produced a secondary calcite phase or did not react fully. This is due to the low solubility of the calcium hydroxide and the incomplete reaction of the calcium carbonate. An increase in pH has been observed to lead to higher carbonate content in the synthesized cHA and a smaller crystallite size.
