  • Gravimetric Analysis of Chloride
    Chemistry 321L Manual Page 16 Gravimetric Analysis of Chloride I. Introduction The amount of chloride ion in a substance can be determined by precipitating the soluble chloride ion present with silver ion. The amount of chloride ion present will be related to the mass of silver chloride formed. + - Ag (aq) + Cl (aq) 6 AgCl (s) II. Procedure A. Preparation of Filter Crucibles (Sintered-Glass) 1. Use four filter crucibles of medium (M) porosity. Do not use crucibles marked C for coarse porosity. 2. Previously, the crucibles have been used to filter silver chloride (purple or gray, ammonia soluble). First, remove any bulk precipitate with a rubber policeman and dispose of it in a "Silver Collection" jar. Follow this with chemical cleaning. To remove silver chloride, invert the crucibles in a large beaker in a fume hood and add one or two mL of concentrated ammonia to each. Allow to soak until clean. Carefully remove the crucibles from the beaker and soak in water before removing from the fume hood. Set up a suction filtration apparatus and wash the crucible several times with water and finally with deionized water. Empty the suction flask before proceeding. Stains that are not removed by this cleaning process should not interfere with your measurements. Number, in pencil, each crucible on the frosted glass area. 3. Dry the crucibles in an oven at 120EC for about 1 hour, using a beaker, glass hooks, and watch glass (see figure). A ribbed watch glass can be used in place of the glass hooks. 4. Remove the dried crucibles from the oven and let them cool for about one minute on the counter top.

  • A Study of Nickel Molybdenum Oxide Catalysts for The
    A STUDY OF NICKEL MOLYBDENUM OXIDE CATALYSTS FOR THE OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF n-HEXANE By Bavani Pillay Submitted in fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Chemistry University of KwaZulu-Natal Durban, South Africa June 2009 As the candidate’s supervisor I have/have not approved this thesis/dissertation for submission. Signed: _____________ Name: _____________ Date: ______________ ii ABSTRACT Nickel molybdenum oxide catalysts with different chemical compositions have been synthesized and tested for the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-hexane. The co-precipitation method was used for the synthesis and several methods were used to characterize these catalysts. These include inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, temperature programmed reduction, temperature programmed desorption, X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy techniques as well as the Brauner-Emmet-Teller technique for surface area determination. The phase composition of the catalysts was largely dependent on the chemical composition. Catalyst testing on n-hexane feed was done with a fixed bed continuous flow reactor and experiments were performed with feed/air ratios above and below the flammability limit. Varied reaction conditions were used for the catalytic testing. Prior to the catalytic testing, blank experiments were performed. Analysis of the products were done both online and offline in conjunction with gas chromatography employing FID and TCD detectors. The influence of the catalyst on the conversion of n-hexane and selectivity to dehydrogenation products is reported. Products observed were the carbon oxides (CO and CO 2), isomers of hexene (1-hexene, 2-hexene and 3-hexene), cyclic C 6 products (cyclohexene and benzene), cracked products: alkanes/alkenes (propane/ene, butane/ene) and oxygenates (ethanal, acetic acid and propanoic acid).

    EXPERIMENT 18 Gravimetric Determination of the Iodide Ion Content in a Mixture INTRODUCTION The branch of analytical chemistry known as quantitative analysis concerns itself with the amounts of the various components within a sample, and it is often separated into three categories: gravimetric, volumetric, and instrumental. Earlier in the semester instrumental analyses were performed utilitzing the sophisticated device called a spectrometer. In this experiment a gravimetric analysis will be performed, and it will rely on traditional laboratory equipment: balances, beakers, Büchner funnels, and filter flasks. In gravimetric analysis, a substance is treated so that the component of interest is separated either in its pure form or as a constituent in a compound of known composition, which can be weighed. The separation is often accomplished by first dissolving a sample of the substance in a suitable solvent and then adding a reagent that reacts with the desired component to form an insoluble solid. A gravimetric precipitation method must fulfill certain basic requirements in order to provide an accurate analysis. 1. The precipitation reaction should be quantitative so that only a negligible fraction on the component of interest remains in solution after the precipitate is isolated. A moderate excess of the precipitating agent is commonly employed to help achieve this condition. 2. Other constituents in the sample solution should not interfere with the precipitation of the component of interest. 3. The precipitation should be as free of contaminants as possible. 4. The particles of precipitate should be large enough to filter easily and to facilitate the removal of soluble impurities during washing operations.

  • Release of Fission Products During and After Oxidation of Trace-Irradiated Uranium Dioxide at 3Oo-9Oo°C
    XA0056017 RELEASE OF FISSION PRODUCTS DURING AND AFTER OXIDATION OF TRACE-IRRADIATED URANIUM DIOXIDE AT 3OO-9OO°C P. Wood, G.H. Bannister Central Electricity Generating Board Berkeley Nuclear Laboratories UK Abstract Should defected U02 fuel pins come into contact with air then oxidation of the fuel may occur, the rate and consequences of which are dependent upon temperature and oxygen partial pressure. At CEGB-BNL an experimental programme is underway investigating the kinetics, and extent, of release of fission products during and after oxidation of trace-irradiated U02 to U3O3, and reduction of U3O3 to UO 2« This paper presents preliminary results and analysis of experiments performed at 300-900°C. Dense sintered U02 has been oxidised at 300-500°C using a thermobalance with simultaneous counting of released 85Kr. The kinetics of the 35Kr release are shown to correlate with the kinetics of oxidation, and the extent of release has been determined as 3-8% of that in the UO 2 converted to U3O3. The release of 106Ru and 137Cs during this oxidation has been estimated by Y~c°unting of the fuel sample, before and after oxidation, and of glassware in the vicinity of the sample. This indicates slight release of ruthenium and caesium. Greater fission product release is caused by oxidation at higher temperatures or by heating of the oxidation product. U 308 produced at 400°C has been heated at 800 and 900°C in air for 20 hours. This results in near total release of 85Kr and 106Ru, but still only slight release of 137Cs.
