  • Toxicity Summary for Antimony December 1992
    TOXICITY SUMMARY FOR ANTIMONY DECEMBER 1992 Prepared by Robert A. Young, Ph.D., D.A.B.T. Chemical Hazard Evaluation and Communication Group Biomedical and Environmental Information Analysis Section Health and Safety Research Division Oak Ridge National Laboratory* Oak Ridge, Tennessee Prepared for OAK RIDGE RESERVATION ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION PROGRAM *Managed by Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC05-84OR21400 This page intentionally left blank. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Antimony (Sb) is a naturally occurring metal that is used in various manufacturing processes. It exists in valence states of 3 and 5 (Budavari, 1989; ATSDR, 1990). Antimony is a common urban air pollutant (Beliles, 1979). Exposure to antimony may be via inhalation, oral and dermal routes (ATSDR, 1990). Antimony is sparingly absorbed following ingestion or inhalation (Felicetti et al., 1974a; Gerber et al., 1982; ATSDR, 1990). Both gastrointestinal and pulmonary absorption are a function of compound solubility. Antimony is transported in the blood, its distribution varying among species and dependent on its valence state (Felicetti et al., 1974b). Antimony is not metabolized but may bind to macromolecules and react covalently with sulfhydryl and phosphate groups (ATSDR, 1990). Excretion of antimony is primarily via the urine and feces, and is also dependent upon valence state (Cooper et al., 1968; Ludersdorf et al., 1987; ATSDR, 1990). Acute oral exposure of humans and animals to high doses of antimony or antimony-containing compounds (antimonials) may cause gastrointestinal disorders (vomiting, diarrhea), respiratory difficulties, and death at extremely high doses (Bradley and Frederick, 1941; Beliles, 1979; ATSDR, 1990).

  • Abstract of Thesis
    ABSTRACT OF THESIS Elizabeth Anne IRVINE , Name of Candidate ...................................................................................................................................... 2 Address .............. .3. otor ........ Degree.... .Date ........J y 1976 Reactions on Mixed Tin-Antimony Oxides 7)tle of Thesis .................................................................................................................... An investigation of the catalytic properties of stannic oxide, antimony tetroxide and a range of tin-antimony mixed oxides has been carried out using two pretreatment methods. The two pretreatment methods were a L.T. method (outgassing the catalyst for 5 hr at a temperature of 293 K) and a H.T. method (outgasaing the catalyst for 16 hr at a temperature of 698 K). The object of the investigation was two-fold. To gain an insight into the acidic properties of the catalysts by studying the dehydration of isopropanol and the isomerization of 3,3-dimethylbut-l-ene, cyclo- propane, and n-butenea. To increase the existing information about the oxidizing properties of the catalysts by studying the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butenea. With the exception of stannic oxide, H.T. pretreatment, which dehydrogenates isopropanol, the individual oxides are inactive. Combining the two oxides results in an acidic catalyst. The number and nature of the acidic sites are determined by the percentage composition of the catalyst and their pretreatment. Br+nated-type acidic sites are believed to be responsible for isopropanol dehydration, 30-diinethylbut-l-ene, cyclopropane and n-butene isomerization over the L.T. series mixed oxides. Similar sites are thought to be responsible for isopropanol dehydration, 3,3-dimethylbut-l-ene and cis but-2-ene isomerization over the H.T. series mixed oxides. However, Brnsted and Lewis type sites may account for cyclopropane and but-l-ene isomerization over the H.T.

  • Alchemical Substances
    Alchemical substances Cadmia, which was also called Tuttia or Tutty, was probably zinc carbonate. Philosophers' Wool, or nix alba (white snow). Zinc oxide made by burning zinc in air. Called Zinc White and used as a pigment. White vitriol. Zinc Sulphate. Described by Basil Valentine. Made by lixiviating roasted zinc blende (zinc sulphide). Calamine. Zinc carbonate. Corrosive sublimate. Mercuric chloride. first mentioned by Geber, who prepared it by subliming mercury, calcined green vitriol, common salt and nitre. Calomel. Mercurous chloride. Purgative, made by subliming a mixture of mercuric chloride and metallic mercury, triturated in a mortar. This was heated in a iron pot and the crust of calomel formed on the lid was ground to powder and boiled with water to remove the very poisonous mercuric chloride. Cinnabar. Mercuric sulphide. Turpeth mineral. A hydrolysed form of mercuric sulphate. Yellow crystalline powder, described by Basil Valentine. Mercurius praecipitatus. Red mercuric oxide. Described by Geber. Cinnabar or Vermillion. Mercuric sulphide. Mosaic gold. Golden-yellow glistening scales of crystalline stannic sulphide, made by heating a mixture of tin filings, sulphur and salammoniac. Tin salt. Hydrated stannous chloride. Spiritus fumans. Stannic chloride, discovered by Libavius in 1605, through distilling tin with corrosive sublimate. Butter of tin. Hydrated stannic chloride. Galena. Plumbic sulphide. Chief ore of lead. Lead fume. Lead oxide obtained from the flues at lead smelters. Massicot. Yellow powder form of lead monoxide. Litharge. Reddish-yellow crystalline form of lead monoxide, formed by fusing and powdering massicot. Minium or Red Lead. Triplumbic tetroxide. Formed by roasting litharge in air. Scarlet crystalline powder. Naples yellow, or Cassel yellow.
