INTRODUCTION The exchange of oxygen 2toms between sulfur(IV) ax suifur(VT) compourid3 was first investigated by Voge (!3,p.1O32-1O3), using radioactive sulfur. He observed no exchange in 36 hours at 1000C between aqueous sulfite and sulfate in either basic or 0,1 N acid solution. He also reported no exchange between sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide gases in 17 hours at 280°C, the addition of water vapor leading to only about 10% exchange tmder these conditions. At 33°C, however, he did find a slow exchange between these gases, the rate being accelerated by the presence of water or of platinized asbestos, Since this is about the temperature where the dis- sociation of sulfur trioxide first becomes appreciable, Voge postulated the rate determining step to be S3 + (1) !Juston (2L) later studied in detail the kinetics of tliis gas phase exchange, and ob8erved the rate to be conveniently measurable in the range 1.iOO - 0°C with a norma]. temperature coefficient. He found the reaction to be heterogeneous arxi, as Voge had indiccted, strongly catalyzed by water, but his date were irreproducible and involved. He did conclude, however, that the rate determining step seemed not to be that given by 2 (1), iluston (22,p.30S0) has i1so investigated the liquid phase e:chnge f sulfur between these two conounds, and has reported hat no exchange takes place at room temperature when sulfur trioxide is dissolved in liquid sulfur dioxide or vice versa. ¡le observed only very slow exchange (less than 2 in 62) hours) for sulfur dioxide dissolved in liquid sulfur trioxide at 1320C. Voge's results led :larnmon (19,p.].0) to speculate that perhaps the concentrations of both sulfur trioxide and water in hot concentrated sulfuric acid might be sufficiently high to lead to a more rapid exchange with sulfur dioxide than that observed between sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide in the gas phase. His results, while somewhat lacking in internal eon- sistency, indicated roughly: (1) at room temperature, rio ex- change in L8 hours; (2) at 1000C, % exchange in !8 hours; (3) at 280°C, complete exchange in less than S hours. This last result, when compared with all of the preceding work was evidently of considerable isxterest. Norris (37) further ives- tigated this exchange between sulfur dioxide and concentrated sulfuric acid. He found it to proceed it a conveniently measurable rate in the range 160 - 210°C, with an aparent activation energy of about 28.8 kcal.mole1. Continuing the investigation, Doherty, esters and Norris (11) found the reaction to be first order in sulfur dioxide and one-half order in water concentration in the range 85 - 98 sulfuric acid. 3 It is clear fron the preceding that, although the exchange appears to be faster in hot concentrated sulfuric acid than in the systems previously studied, in no case does rapid exchange of radiosulfur occur between sulfur(IV) and sulfur- (VI) species at room temperature.

The Na+ ion weakly polarizes its water lig- ands provided there are metal ions in solution. Sodium sulfate reacts with sulfuric acid to give the acid salt sodium bisulfate, leading ot a temperatude-dependant equi- librium: Na2SO4 + H2SO4 ⇌ 2 NaHSO4 2− Sulfate ions (SO4 ) in solution can be indicated by the easy formation of insoluble sulfates when these solutions are treated with Ba2+ or Pb2+ salts: Na2SO4 + BaCl2 → 2 NaCl + BaSO4 Double salts with some other alkali metal sulfates are known, including Na2SO4·3K2SO4.

  • SULFUR TRIOXIDE -- Chemical Fact Sheet
    OLEUM/SULFUR TRIOXIDE -- Chemical Fact Sheet 1 What is it? Oleum is a cloudy, gray, fuming, oily, corrosive liquid with a sharp, penetrating odor. When Oleum comes into contact with air following a spill, it releases Sulfur Trioxide. Sulfur Trioxide is a white gas having the appearance of fog. It also has a sharp, penetrating odor that is detectable at low concentrations. Because of the tendency to liberate Sulfur Trioxide on contact with air, Oleum is also known as “fuming Sulfuric Acid”. Where does it Oleum is made by dissolving Sulfur Trioxide into Sulfuric Acid. Sulfur come from? Trioxide is made from Sulfur Dioxide in the presence of a catalyst.

  • Determination of Sulfuric Acid and Oleum Concentration Relevant For: Chemical Industry / Sulfuric Acid Production
    Determination of Sulfuric Acid and Oleum Concentration Relevant for: Chemical industry / Sulfuric acid production Sulfuric acid is widely used in the chemical industry, plastics industry and petrochemistry, for the production of phosphoric acid as a starting material for fertilizers, in the metal industry (e.g. in etching baths), and in accumulators. Dissolving sulfur trioxide, SO3, in concentrated sulfuric acid results in a fuming solution called oleum (or "fuming sulfuric acid"). Oleum is used in the chemical industry, for example for the production of intermediate materials or chemical fibers. 2.2. Conventional: Titration - a tedious method The conventional method for determination of sulfuric acid concentration is titration. However, titration is not only time-consuming and hazardous, but also includes a range of error prone operation steps even for skilled 1. Quality control in sulfuric acid production laboratory staff.

  • Chemical Pretreatment for RO and NF
    Chemical Pretreatment For RO and NF October 2013 Lenntech [email protected] Tel. +31-152-610-900 www.lenntech.com Fax. +31-152-616-289 There are a number of chemicals that can be introduced into the RO feed to enhance the operation of the RO system. Acids Caustic Dechlorination chemicals Antiscalants and Dispersants Acids: Acids, typically hydrochloric [HCl] or sulfuric [H2SO4], are injected into the RO feed to lower pH. Sulfuric acid is used more often than HCl acid. One reason for this is because sulfuric acid is relatively lower in operating cost than HCl acid. Another advantage to using sulfuric over HCl is the reduced fuming to the atmosphere, which means less corrosion to surrounding metal components. Sulfuric acid is sometimes preferred over HCl since there is a better membrane rejection of the sulfate ion than the chloride ion. Technical grade sulfuric acid, with no other additives, is suitable for use with a RO. Sulfuric acid is commercially available as a 20% and 93% solution. The 93% solution is also referred to as “66 0 Baume solution”. Caution is required in diluting 93% sulfuric acid, since the maximum heat of dilution of about 280 F occurs around 60%. It is critical that the concentrated acid is added slowly to the top of dilution water that is being agitated to minimize the buildup of heat and boiling of the makeup solution. Hydrochloric acid is preferred when calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, or strontium sulfate scaling is a concern. Sulfuric acid increases the sulfate ion level in the RO feed, which directly increases the potential for sulfate-based scaling.

  • Mineral Scale Management Part II
    PEER-REVIEWED SCALE Mineral Scale Management Part II. Fundamental Chemistry ALAN W. RUDIE AND PETER W. HART ABSTRACT: The mineral scale that deposits in digesters and bleach plants is formed by a chemical precipitation process.As such, it is accurately modeled using the solubility product equilibrium constant. Although solubility product identifies the primary conditions that must be met for a scale problem to exist, the acid-base equilibria of the scaling anions often control where in the process scale will occur. These equilibria are the primary control method to minimize or pre­ vent scale in a bleach plant. Both the acid-base equilibria and solubility product equilibria are influenced by temper­ ature and ionic strength. This paper reviews the chemistry of precipitation and acid-base equilibria. The Gibbs free energy expression is presented as a method to estimate equilibrium constants at temperatures in the bleach plant.The effect of ionic strength on ion activity and its influence on these processes are also discussed. Application: Preventing scale problems requires an understanding of the solubility product equilibrium, the acid-base equilibrium of the scaling anion, and the effects of temperature and ion activity on these equilibria. ome pulp mills have always experi­ trations in the wood supply. Those conditions that barely exceed the Senced mineral scale buildup, but cases required more detailed equilibri­ saturation concentrations, it can this problem has increased with um modeling and will be handled in take hours or longer for an obvi­ efforts to comply with environmental the third paper of the series on non- ous precipitate to form.
