Effect of anions on the dissolution of Al in acid solutions

The effect of Cl^?, Br^?, I^?, ClO₄^?, NO₃^?, HSO₄^?, HCrO₄^? and H₂PO₄^? on the of Al in 2 M HCl is studied by the thermometric method. Three sets of experiments are carried out, which allow the variation of the concentration of the various species in a programmed manner. Dissolution promotion is noted in solutions to which HCl, HBr and H₂CrO₄ are added. The way of action of each of these anions is discussed. Additions of HI, HClO₄, H₂SO₄ and H₃PO₄, on the other hand, first retard and later enhance the dissolution of Al in 2 M HCl, as their concentration in solution is increased. This is related to anion adsorption, which is counterbalanced by increase in acidity. HNO₃ differs from the other tested acids in causing only dissolution retardation. Experiments in which LaCl₃ is added to the test solution indicate that the NO₃^? is adsorbed as such on Al₂O₃. The ability of the various anions to retard the dissolution of Al in 2 M HCl decreases in the succession: NO₃^? (strong)>I^?>HSO₄^?>H₂PO₄^?>Br^?, ClO₄^? (weak)

Formation and Behaviour of Chlorozinc Acids in Ethanolic Solution The reaction between ZnCl₂ and HCl in ethanol leads to H₂ZnCl₄ only. The behaviour of H₂ZnCl₄ · 3 (C₂H₅)₂O, (NH₄)₂[ZnCl₄] and HCl in ethanolic solutions has been investigated by means of conductivity measurements at ?10 and ?20°C. The equivalent conductivities have been determined. The Stokes radii of [ZnCl₄]^2?, H⁺, and [(C₂H₅)₂OH]⁺ are calculated.     

Anion-exchange separation of Pt and Pd using perchloric and hydrochloric acid solutions

On Biorad Ag-1X8 anion-exchange resin (200–400 mesh), Pd and Pt may be separated from one another by elution with 0.2M HClO₄, and 5M HClO₄, respectively. If present, Au may be retained by making the elutriants 0.003M in HCl. Alternatively, reduction by H₂SO₃ enables elution of Pt²⁺ with 6M HCl before recovery of Pd²⁺ with 0.2M HClO₄·Ir⁴⁺ is reduced to Ir³⁺ by H₂SO₃ and may be eluted ahead of Pt²⁺ by 2M HCl.     

Radio-high performance liquid chromatographic study on radioactive38Cl compounds

Reaction of recoild³⁸Cl atoms with o-dichlorobenzene in the presence of carbon tetrachloride or iodine has been studied by using radio-high performance liquid chromatography. The major products were detected by a 4-channel-wavelengths spectrophotometric detector. The radioactivity of³⁸Cl compounds including minor products was measured with a NaI(T1) scintillation detector. The main products found were³⁸Cl labeled HCl/Cl₂, CHCl₃, CCl₄, o-, p-, m-C₆H₆Cl₂ and polymer, whereas only minor products such as HCl/Cl₂, CHCl₃, C₂Cl₆, C₆H₃Cl₃, and polymer were found in the radio-chromatogram. The reaction mechanisms of recoil³⁸Cl atom are briefly described.     

Solvent extraction of hafnium(IV)

^{175, 181}Hafnium(IV) was extracted by HDBP in 2-ethylhexanol from 1–10M solutions of HClO₄, HCl and HNO₃, and 1–8M H₂SO₄. As with low polar organic phase diluents, the acidity dependence of the distribution ratio of Hf, D, passes through a minimum for HClO₄, HCl, and H₂SO₄ whereas only an increase of D can be observed with increasing HNO₃ concentration. From the slope analysis the following complexes were found to be extracted (HDBP=HA): HfA₄ at <4M HClO₄ and <5M HCl, lg K_extr=9, HfX₄(HA)₄ (X=ClO ₄ ⁻ , Cl⁻ or NO ₃ ⁻ ) at >5M HClO₄, >7M HCl and 1–10M HNO₃, Hf(SO₄)A₂(HA)_3–4 at <3M H₂SO₄, and Hf(SO₄)₂ (HA)₄ at >6M H₂SO₄. Coextraction of sulphate with hafnium from H₂SO₄ solutions was evidenced in experiments with macro concentrations of Hf(IV) and³⁵SO ₄ ²⁻ . Part XX: Coll. Czech. Chem. Commun., 40 (1975) 3617.     

The role of Cherenkov and liquid scintilation counting in evaluating the anion-exchange separation of210Pb−210Bi−210Po

Using as eluent a sequence of 3M HCl, 12M HCl, and 8M HNO₃, a mixture of²¹⁰Pb,²¹⁰Bi, and²¹⁰Po may be clearly separated on a column of Dowex 1×2−100 anion exchange resin. A Cherenkov count in H₂O and the variation in count rate with time confirm that the nuclides emerge in the order²¹⁰Pb→²¹⁰Bi→²¹⁰Po. If 12M HCl is replaced by 1.5M H₂SO₄/2.3 M Na₂SO₄, a clean separation also results, but recovery of²¹⁰Po becomes considerably more difficult. All three nuclides are readily detectable by liquid scintillation counting, with the efficiency for²¹⁰Pb in the 60–70% range. The Cherenkov aqueous counting efficiency for²¹⁰Bi is ∼14–15%.     

Determination of inorganic acids by ion chromatography with n-tetradecylphosphocholine (zwitterionic surfactant) as the stationary phase and pure water as the mobile phase

A new ion chromatographic (IC) system, in which n-tetradecylphosphocholine (TDPC, a phosphobetaine type of zwitterionic surfactant) was used as the stationary phase, pure water as the mobile phase, and conductivity as the method of detection, has been developed for the determination of inorganic acids. Five model acids, HCl, HNO₃, HClO₄, H₂SO₄, and H₃PO₄, were separated to baseline and eluted in the order H₃PO₄ > HCl > HNO₃ > H₂SO₄ > HClO₄. When peak areas were plotted against the concentrations of the acids in samples, linear calibration curves were obtained. Ultimate determination limits were approximately 1 mmol L^–1, but the discrimination of the method between solutions of different concentration was better than 10 μmol L^–1 for those model analytes. Salts of divalent cations could also be separated, but they were eluted faster than the acids. No separation was observed for the salts of monovalent cations. This newly proposed approach is applicable to the simultaneous determination of the inorganic acids (produced by reactions of NO_x, SO_x, and HCl with water) in aerosols.     

Nonisothermal membrane phenomena across perfluorosulfonic acid-type membranes,Flemion S: part I. Thermoosmosis and transported entropy of water

Solvent transports across the perfluorosulfonic acid-type membrane Flemion S were measured for aqueous electrolyte solutions under a temperature difference and under an osmotic pressure difference. H⁺, Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, NH ₄ ⁺ , CH₃NH ₃ ⁺ , (CH₃)₂NH ₂ ⁺ , (CH₃)₃NH⁺, (CH₃)₄N⁺, (C₂H₅)₄N⁺, (n-C₃H₇)₄N⁺ and (n-C₄H₉)₄N⁺ were used as counterions. Water flux across the membrane in HCl solution is higher than that in the other electrolyte solutions because hydrogen ions can exchange with the hydrogen of the neighbor water molecules and contribute to the water transport across the membrane as a proton jump in conductivity. The direction of thermoosmosis across the membrane in HCl, NaCl, (CH₃)₄NCl and (C₂H₅)₄NCl solutions was from the cold side to the hot side and that in LiCl, KCl, NH₄Cl, CH₃NH₃Cl, (CH₃)₂NH₂Cl and (n-C₄H₉)₄NBr solutions was from the hot side to the cold side, although thermoosmosis across anion-exchange membranes always occurs toward the hot side.     

Potential oscillations in the course of galvanostatic oxidation of hydrogen at platinum electrode in the presence of electrosorbing cations

An assumption has been made that in the presence of electrosorbing cations potential oscillations should be observed in the course of galvanostatic oxidation of hydrogen on platinum electrode. The reality of this assumption has been proved in the presence of Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, Sn²⁺, Bi³⁺, Ag⁺ ions using different base electrolytes (H₂SO₄, HCl, HClO₄). Some features connected with these oscillation phenomena were considered.     

Ion cyclotron resonance studies of some reactions of C+ ions

Product distributions and rate constants for the reaction of ground state C⁺ ions with O₂, NO, HCl, CO₂, H₂S, H₂O, HCN, NH₃, CH₄, H₂CO, CH₃OH, and CH₃NH₂ have been measured. Rate constants were obtained using ion cyclotron resonance trapped ion methods at JPL, and product distributions were obtained using a tandem (Dempster-ICR) mass spectrometer at the University of Utah. Rapid carbon isotope exchange has also been observed in C⁺-CO collisions.     

PtOxCly(OH)z(H2O)n Complexes under Oxidative and Reductive Conditions: Impact of the Level of Theory on Thermodynamic Stabilities

Platinum-based catalysts with Cl⁻, OH⁻, O²⁻ and H₂O ligands, are involved in many industrial processes. Their final chemical properties are impacted by calcination and reduction applied during the preparation and activation steps. We investigate their stability under these reactive conditions with density functional theory (DFT). We benchmark various functionals (PBE-dDsC, optPBE, B3LYP, HSE06, PBE0, TPSS, RTPSS and SCAN) against ACFDT-RPA. PBE-dDsC is well adapted, although hybrid functionals are more accurate for redox reactions. Thermodynamic phase diagrams are determined by computing the chemical potential of the species as a function of temperature and partial pressures of H₂O, HCl, O₂ and H₂. The stability and nature of the Pt species are highly sensitive to the activation conditions. Under O₂, high temperatures favour PtO₂ while under H₂, platinum is easily reduced to Pt(0). Chlorine modifies the coordination sphere of platinum during calcination by stabilizing PtCl₄ and shifts the reduction of platinum to higher temperatures under H₂.     

Studies on the Uptake of Rare Earth Elements on Polyacrylamidoxime Resins from Natural Concentrate Leachate Solutions

Synthesis of poly(acrylamidoxime) resin from polyacrylonitrile performed with different crosslinking ratios 2, 5, and 10 wt% of divinylbenzene as crosslinking agent, using methylbenzoate and dioctylphthalate as pore producing solvent, the reaction mixture occurred under nitrogen. Studies carried out on diluted solution from rare earth elements (REEs) concentrate contains impurities as Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Fe³⁺, Al³⁺, Si⁴⁺, Th⁴⁺, U⁶⁺, Ca²⁺, and K⁺. Changing some parameters as pH of the solution, time of feeding and type of acid as HCl, HNO₃, H₂SO₄. The adsorption efficiency of resin is in the order pH 6 > pH 5 > pH 4 > pH 2 with excluding pH 6 due to the precipitation of some of REEs with the impurities and complete precipitation of Dy ion during pH adjustment, the adsorption in HNO₃ > HCl > H₂SO₄ media.     

Effect of solvent media and condensed benzene rings on thermochemical behaviour of dibenzo-18-crown-6 in solution

The specific and non-specific interactions of twelve activated carbon cloth samples prepared from commercial cotton fabric, and that present different activation degrees are studied through the determination of immersion enthalpies in CCl₄ and H₂O, and in aqueous solutions of NaOH and HCl. The immersion enthalpies found for the solvents CCl₄ and H₂O are in a range of 5.49–45.84 and 1.77–7.76 J g⁻¹, respectively. The enthalpic values for the materials in aqueous solutions of NaOH and HCl, allow characterizing the chemical surface of these materials, which are in a range of 6.63 and 21.49 J g⁻¹, finding through them important relations in company with other characterizing techniques used in the study of these materials.     

Vacuum ultraviolet (147 nm) photolysis of 1,2-fluorochloroethane

1,2-Fluorochloroethane was photolyzed at 147 nm in the pressure range of 3.8–20.9 torr. The effects of added NO, H₂S, and large pressures of CF₄ were also investigated. The exponential extinction coefficient at 147 nm and 296°K was found to be 147 ± 4 atm^?1 · cm^?1. The photochemistry in some respects is similar to that of ethyl chloride. The primary processes again appear to involve at least two excited states. One of these yields ethylene by FCl elimination (Φ ? 0.3) and has a lifetime of ～3.2 × 10^?10 sec, with respect to an internal conversion to the vibrationally excited ground state or, more probably, a collisionally induced crossover to a state decomposing mainly by carbon? halogen bond fission. The molecular elimination of HCl, H₂, and small amounts of HF also occurs but not apparently from the same state as does FCl. The quantum yields of products with radical precursors, however, are not large, and hence little, if any, of the FCl and probably none of HCl, H₂, and HF subsequently dissociates. The vinyl fluoride and vinyl chloride, accompanying the elimination of HF and HCl, are postulated as possible sources of the secondary production of acetylene.     

Formation of extractable species from metal sulfate and amine chlorides

The extraction of Fe, Zn and In by La₂HCl from H₂SO₄ solutions has been studied. The formation of the aqueous complexes H₂Fe(SO₄)₂HSO₄, HZn(SO₄)HSO₄ and HInSO₄(HSO₄)₂ is discussed. The formation of mixed ligand species H₂Fe(SO₄)₂Cl, HZnSO₄Cl and HInSO₄Cl₂ from the interaction of Cl⁺ in aqueous solution or in LA₂HCl before extraction is explained. The reactions in the system to produce the extractable species are discussed. The possible separations are given.     

The aquation of hexachlorotechnetate(IV)

The photochemical decomposition of (NH₄)₂TcCl₆ in dilute HCl, HClO₄ and H₂SO₄ solutions has been studied. Electrophoresis and spectrophotometry were used to identify TcCl ₆ ^2? , TcCl₅ (H₂O)^?, cationic and uncharged species and TcO ₄ ^? . The yield of each species as a function of the time of uv irradiation was determined. The TcCl ₆ ^2? , yield decreases to zero after 50 h of irradiation. The TcCl₅(H₂O)^?, cationic and uncharged species and TcO ₄ ^? are formed in different proportions in the three acids. After 120 h of irradiation of the HCl solution the principal Tc species was the cationic one (≈70%) followed by the uncharged species (≈24%). In HClO₄ solution the cationic species (≈70%) was followed by TcO ₄ ^? , but in H₂SO₄ solution the uncharged species amounts to ≈90%.     

Primary processes in the 147-nm photolysis of 1,1-dichloroethane

The room temperature photolysis of 1,1-dichloroethane at 147 nm in the pressure range of 1.34-196.2 torr is characterized almost entirely by the molecular elimination of HCl, Cl₂, and small quantities of H₂. Acetylene is also produced. While it is possible that the C₂H₂ arises, in part, from the decomposition of vibrationally excited ground states of C₂H₃Cl and/or C₂H₄, in this particlar case serious consideration has to be given to alternative explanations where the products of the primary processes are formed in electronically excited states. The ±, elimination of molecular chlorine is not inconsistent with an increased degree of Cl? Cl interaction predicted for a «Rydberg «state of 1,1-C₂H₄Cl₂. Varying small yields of CH₄ are observed in the presence and absence of NO. The effect of large pressures of CF₄ on the quantum yields of the major products is extremely small. The extinction coefficient for 1,1-C₂H₄Cl₂ at 147 nm and 296°K is 246 ± 29 cm^?1 ± atm^?1.     

Membrane Transport of Inorganic Acids with α- Aminophosphoryl Compounds

Transport of some inorganic acids (HCl, HBr, HClO₄, HNO₃, H₂SO₄, and H₂PO₄) through hydrophobic impregnated membranes with aminophosphoryl compounds of the general formula R ₂ ¹ P(O)CH₂ ⋅ NR²R³ [R¹ = C₄H₉(C₂H₅)CHCH₂O, R² = C₄H₉, R³ = C₈H₁₇; R¹ = R³ = C₈H₁₇, R² = H; R¹ = C₁₀H₂, R² = R³ = C₂H₅; R¹ = C₁₀H₂₁, R² + R³ = (CH₂)₂O(CH₂)₂; R¹ = C₈H₁₇, R² = H, R³ = 2-quinolyl] and dodecylamine as carriers was studied. The membrane phases were solutions of the carriers in phenylcyclohexane and tridecane. General regularities that correlate the structure of an aminophosphoryl compounds to its transport properties toward inorganic acids were established. The largest flows are characteristic of perchloric, nitric, and hydrobromic acids.__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 4, 2005, pp. 575–578.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Garifzyanov, Shirshova, Cherkasov.     

Gasification characteristics to <Superscript>14</Superscript>CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> of <Superscript>14</Superscript>C radionuclide desorbed from spent resin by phosphate solutions

The removal characteristics of H¹⁴CO₃ ⁻ ions from IRN-150 mixed resin contaminated with ¹⁴C radionuclide and the gasification effects of ¹⁴C radionuclide on ¹⁴CO₂ are investigated in this study. The stripping solutions used for the removal of ¹⁴C from spent resin are NaNO₃, Na₃PO₄, NH₄H₂PO₄, and H₃PO₄. The influence of the stripping solution concentration on the desorption characteristics of an inactive HCO₃ ion into a stripping solution from IRN-150 mixed resin and the gasification of this ion to CO₂ is analyzed. The gasification behavior to CO₂ using NaOH, HNO₃, and HCl was also compared to that of phosphate solution. Spent resin stored in Wolsong nuclear power plant is used to evaluate the gasification characteristics of ¹⁴C radionuclide to ¹⁴CO₂. Gamma radionuclides such as ¹³⁷Cs and ⁶⁰Co in residual striping solutions after desorption experiments are analyzed.     

Models for the Active Center of Pterin-Containing Molybdenum Enzymes: Crystal structure of a molybdenum complex with sulfur and pterin ligands

The first crystal structure of a molybdenum complex 9 with a hydrogenated pterin and a sulfur ligand contributes to the discussion about the active center of molybdenum and tungsten enzymes containing a molybdopterin cofactor. Complex 9 was synthesized through a redox reaction of [Mo^VIO₂ (LN-S₂)] ( 8 ; LN-S₂ = pyridine-2, 6-bis(methanethiolato)) with 5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydropterin ( 7 ). 2 HCl (H₄Ptr.2 HCl). The complex crystallizes, with a non-coordinating Cl-atom acting as a counterion, in the monoclinic space group C2/c (No. 15) with cell dimensions a = 22.900(5), b = 10.716(2), c = 17.551(4) Å, β = 120.36(3)°, and Z = 8. We interpret 9 as [Mo^IVO(LN-S₂)(H⁺-q-H₂Ptr)]Cl (q = quinonoid; H₂Ptr = dihydropterin), i.e., a Mo^IV monooxo center coordinated by a pyridine-2, 6-bis(methanethiolato) ligand and a protonated dihydropterin. The spectroscopic properties of this new complex are comparable to those of other crystalline molybdenum complexes of hydrogenated pterins without additional S-coordination. The slightly H₂O-soluble complex 9 reacts with the natural enzyme substrate DMSO very slowly, possibly due to the lack of easily dissociable ligands at the metal center.
