INTRODUCTION Public Law (PL) 105–204 requires the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a plan for inclusion in the fiscal year 2000 budget for conversion of the Department's stockpile of depleted uranium hexafluoride (DUF6 ) to a more stable form over an extended period. The conversion process into a more stable form will produce fluorine compounds (e.g., elemental fluorine or hydrofluoric acid) that need to be handled safely. This document compiles the requirements necessary to handle these materials within health and safety standards, which may apply in order to ensure protection of the environment and the safety and health of workers and the public. Fluorine is a pale-yellow gas with a pungent, irritating odor. It is the most reactive nonmetal and will react vigorously with most oxidizable substances at room temperature, frequently with ignition. Fluorine is a severe irritant of the eyes, mucous membranes, skin, and lungs. In humans, the inhalation of high concentrations causes laryngeal spasm and broncospasms, followed by the delayed onset of pulmonary edema. At sublethal levels, severe local irritation and laryngeal spasm will preclude voluntary exposure to high concentrations, unless the individual is trapped or incapacitated. A blast of fluorine gas on the shaved skin of a rabbit causes a second degree burn. Lower concentrations cause severe burns of insidious onset, resulting in ulceration, similar to the effects produced by hydrogen fluoride. Hydrofluoric acid is a colorless, fuming liquid or gas with a pungent odor. It is soluble in water with release of heat. Ingestion of an estimated 1.5 grams produced sudden death without gross pathological damage. Repeated ingestion of small amounts resulted in moderately advanced hardening of the bones. Contact of skin with anhydrous liquid produces

    pp-03-25-new dots.qxd 10/23/02 2:41 PM Page 611 NICKEL CARBONATE 611 NICKEL CARBONATE [3333-67-3] Formula: NiCO3; MW 118.72 Two basic carbonates are known. They are 2NiCO3•3Ni(OH)2•4H2O [29863- 10-3], and NiCO3•2Ni(OH)2 [12607-70-4], MW 304.17. The second form occurs in nature as a tetrahydrate, mineral, zaratite. Commercial nickel car- bonate is usually the basic salt, 2NiCO3•3Ni(OH)2•4H2O. Uses Nickel carbonate is used to prepare nickel catalysts and several specialty compounds of nickel. It also is used as a neutralizing agent in nickel plating solutions. Other applications are in coloring glass and in the manufacture of ceramic pigments. Physical Properties NiCO3: Light green rhombohedral crystals; decomposes on heating; practi- cally insoluble in water, 93 mg/L at 25°C; dissolves in acids. 2NiCO3•3Ni(OH)2•4H2O: Light green crystals or brown powder; decom- poses on heating; insoluble in water; decomposes in hot water; soluble in acids and in ammonium salts solutions. Zaratite: Emerald greed cubic crystals; density 2.6 g/cm3; insoluble in water; soluble in ammonia and dilute acids. Thermochemical Properties ∆Ηƒ° (NiCO3) –140.6 kcal/mol Preparation Anhydrous nickel carbonate is produced as a precipitate when calcium car- bonate is heated with a solution of nickel chloride in a sealed tube at 150°C. Alternatively, treating nickel powder with ammonia and carbon dioxide fol- lowed by boiling off ammonia yields pure carbonate. When sodium carbonate is added to a solution of Ni(II) salts, basic nickel carbonate precipitates out in impure form.

  • Reactions of Fluoroolefins with Participation of Fluorine Inorganic Radical Initiators
    Journal contents Reactions of fluoroolefins with participation of fluorine inorganic radical initiators V.M.Andrushin Report 1. Choice of fluorine inorganic radical initiators. Part 2. Nitrogen oxyfluorides , halogen oxyfluorides, sulfur oxyfluorides. In nitrogen oxyfluorides (FNO,FNO2,FNO3,F3NO,NF2NO) the character of bonds dissociation differs in principal from nitrogen fluorides: most nitrogen fluorides retain the N-F bond in chemical reactions whereas reactions with dissociation of the N-F bond in the molecules of nitrogen oxyfluorides are more favorable thermodynamically and heterolytic decay of the N-F bond with formation of fluoride ion and conversion of the NO or NO2 groups to the appropriate cation is prevailing. Such a behavior gives the grounds to consider nitrogen oxyfluorides as Lewis’ bases. As it should be expected, in a number of cases nitrogen oxyfluorides similarly to nitrogen fluorides react according to a mechanism of homolytic dissociation of the N-F bond that is very important for us. Nitrosyl fluoride, FNO, and nitrile fluoride, FNO2, are strong fluorinating agents, i.e. they dissociate mainly via the N-F bond. Their interaction with unsaturated perfluorinated compounds is associated with polarization of the molecules of oxifluorides according to the scheme: i.e. the N-O bond remains inactive. Nitrogen fluoro oxides behave in the reaction with fluoroolefins as typical electrophilic reagents, different catalysts are used to increase nucleophility of fluoroolefins. Potassium fluoride and boron trifluoride are used for higher fluoroolefins and boron trifluoride is used for tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkylvinyl ethers. Therefore the use of FNO and FNO2 as the sources of the radicals in the reactions of fluoroolefins is too unlikely.
