  • A Method for Producing Hydroxybenzoic Acids Directly from the Alkah Fusion Mixture of Sodium Benzenesulfonate
    A METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROXYBENZOIC ACIDS DIRECTLY FROM THE ALKAH FUSION MIXTURE OF SODIUM BENZENESULFONATE by Ichiro HiRAo. Taketoshi KiTo and Yukihiro HoKAMuRA Synopsis The reaction mixture from alkali fusion of sodium benzenesulfonate (SBS) cannot be used as starting material for the carboxylation of the alkali phenoxide, because of residual excess alkali. It was found that hydroxybenzoic acids were obtained in good yield by the reaction of carbon dioxide with the treated alkali fusion mass, in which the residual alkali hydroxide was completely con- verted to alkali alkoxide by the reaction with some aliphatic alcohols (C4•vCs) under the removal of the formed water as an azeotrope with the alcohol. For example, p-hydroxybenzoic acid was obtained in 66 9o yield (70 9o based on phenol) from the reaction product from the alkali fusion of SBS with potassium hydrox- ide in a1:3 molar ratio. This method is very convenient for the preparation of hydroxybenzoic acids from the mixture of phenol and alkali hydroxide with continuous treatment without preparation of alkali alkylcarbonates and alkali phenoxides separately, although this method is essentially the reaction of carboxylation of the latter in the presence of the former. 1. INTRODUCTION Aromatic hydroxy acids, such as p-hydroxybenzoic acid, are obtained mainly by the carboxylation of alkali phenoxide. This reaction, which we have often reported, can be roughly divided as follows ; (i) the reaction of alkali phenoxide with carbon dioxide in the solid-gas phases, (ii) the reaction in aprotic polar solvents in liquid phasei', (iii) the reaction of alkali phenoxide suspended in nonpolar solvents such as kerosene with carbon dioxide2', (iv) the reaction of alkali phenoxide with alkali alkyl carbonates3'.

  • XA9953295 EFFECT of Lioh, Naoh, and KOH on CORROSION and OXIDE MICROSTRUCTURE of Zr-BASED ALLOYS
    XA9953295 EFFECT OF LiOH, NaOH, AND KOH ON CORROSION AND OXIDE MICROSTRUCTURE OF Zr-BASED ALLOYS Y.H. JEONG, H.G. KM, Y.H. JUNG Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Taejon, Republic of Korea H.RUHMANN Siemens AG, Power Generation Group (KWU), Erlangen, Germany Abstract Long-term corrosion test, SIMS analysis, and TEM microstructural study were carried out to investigate the corrosion characteristics and mechanism of Zr alloys in alakli hydroxides. The corrosion tests were performed in solutions of LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, and CsOH at 350°C for 500 days. SIMS analysis was performed for the specimens prepared to have an equal oxide thickness. TEM studies on the specimens with an equal oxide thickness in various solutions in both pre- and post-transition regimes were also conducted. The corrosion rate in alkali hydroxide solutions was observed to decrease as the ionic radius of alkali cation was increased. The penetration depth of cation into the oxide decreases with increasing the ionic radius of cation. Even though the oxide thickness was equal, the different oxide morphologies were observed in specimens. Namely, in LiOH solution the oxide morphology was transformed early from columnar to equiaxed structure. However, in KOH solution the columnar structure was maintained up to post-transition regime. Based on the corrosion test, SIMS analysis, and microstructural study, the cation is considered to control the corrosion in a alkali hydroxide solution and its effect is dependent on the concentration of alkali and the oxide thickness. The slight acceleration of the corrosion rate at a low concentration is thought to be caused by cation incorporation into oxide while the significant acceleration at a high concentration is due to the transformation of oxide microstructure that would be induced by cation incorporation.
