  • Precipitation of Some Slightly Soluble Salts Using Emulsion Liquid Membranes
    CROATICA CHEMICA ACTA CCACAA 71 (4) 1049¿1060 (1998) ISSN-0011-1643 CCA-2547 Original Scientific Paper Precipitation of Some Slightly Soluble Salts Using Emulsion Liquid Membranes Damir Kralj and Ljerka Bre~evi}* Laboratory for Precipitation Processes, Ru|er Bo{kovi} Institute, P. O. Box 1016, HR-10001 Zagreb, Croatia Received February 12, 1998; accepted June 1, 1998 Emulsion liquid membranes were used for precipitation of differ- ent sparingly soluble salts: calcium oxalate, copper oxalate, nickel oxalate, cobalt oxalate, lanthanum oxalate, calcium phosphate, co- balt phosphate, copper phosphate, lanthanum phosphate, barium sulphate, strontium sulphate and calcium sulphate. For the trans- port of a desired cation or anion from the feed into the stripping so- lution, where the precipitation occurred, one of the commercial ligands (bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid, D2EHPA; 2-hydroxy-5- nonyl-acetophenone oxime, LIX 84; trioctylamine, ALAMIN 336) dissolved in kerosene, was used as a carrier. The precipitates ob- tained were characterized by means of transmission electron mi- croscopy, X-ray diffractometry, FT-IR spectroscopy and thermogra- vimetry. The effect of the transport mechanism on the properties of salt precipitated was studied on calcium and copper oxalate model systems. It was found that copper oxalate hemihydrate and cal- cium oxalate monohydrate precipitated regardless of whether ox- alic acid or a cation (calcium or copper) was transported into the stripping solution. It was also found that the particles of the pre- cipitate were smaller when oxalic acid was transported. INTRODUCTION The established idea of a membrane is a thin, semi-permeable and solid barrier. A liquid membrane (LM) is nothing like this.

  • Calcium Oxalates in Lichens on Surface of Apatite-Nepheline Ore (Kola Peninsula, Russia)

We have discovered calcium oxalates in lichen thalli on surfaces of apatite-nepheline rocks of southeastern and southwestern titanite-apatite ore fields of the Khibiny peralkaline massif (Kola Peninsula, NW Russia) for the first time; investigated biofilm calcium oxalates with different methods (X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and EDX analysis) and discussed morphogenetic patterns of its formation using results of model experiments. The influence of inorganic and organic components of the crystallization medium on the phase composition and morphology of oxalates has been analyzed.

  • New Insights Into Synthetic Copper Greens: the Search for Specific
    heritage Article New Insights into Synthetic Copper Greens: The Search for Specific Signatures by Raman and Infrared Spectroscopy for Their Characterization in Medieval Artworks Juliana Buse 1,2, Vanessa Otero 1 and Maria J. Melo 1,* 1 Department of Conservation and Restoration and LAQV-REQUIMTE, NOVA School of Sciences and Technology of NOVA University Lisbon, 2829-516 Monte da Caparica, Portugal; [email protected] (J.B.); [email protected] (V.O.) 2 Department of Information Sciences, Federal University of Ceará, Fortalez CEP 60020-181, Brazil * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 April 2019; Accepted: 23 May 2019; Published: 4 June 2019 Abstract: A systematic investigation of medieval copper green pigments was carried out based on written sources: 21 manuscripts, dating from 50–70 to 1755 AD, were sourced and 77 recipes were selected, translating into 44 experiments. Reconstructions from medieval recipes were prepared and characterized through a multianalytical approach to disclose the original pigment formulation that is often described as verdigris. Based on the results obtained, we propose three main groups of copper green pigments, group 1, in which only Cu(CH COO) H O is formed; group 2, where this acetate 3 2· 2 is found together with copper oxalates; group 3, in which atacamite is present as the major green component or as a signature compound. The products formed are in perfect agreement with that predicted by the state-of-the-art research on the mechanisms of atmospheric corrosion of copper. This knowledge, together with our experience on craft recipes to prepare medieval paint materials, allowed us to recover a lost medieval recipe to produce a copper green pigment based mainly on atacamite, a basic copper chloride, which has been recently detected, by Raman and infrared spectroscopy, in artworks ranging from Catalonia and the Crown of Aragon panel painting to Islamic manuscripts.
