Abstract. The direct reactions of titanium tetrachloride with piperidine and diphenylamine in dichloromethane have been studied by examining the isolated reaction products. In the reaction with piperidine, titanium tetrachloride undergoes both addition and substitution reactions as in the following: TiCl4 丄 C5H10NH —> TiCl4-C5H10NH TiCl4 - C5H10NH —> TiCl3-NC5H10+HCl The addition reaction is relatively fast and completed in minutes whereas the substitution reaction is very slow. The both reaction products coprecipitated with piperidine hydrochloride formed during the substitution reaction were isolated and characterized. The reaction with diphenylamine resembles to the above reaction but the addition compound could be obtained in pure crystal form.

  • A Comparative Study on the Chloride Effectiveness of Synthetic Rutile and Natural Rutile Manufactured from Ilmenite
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A comparative study on the chloride efectiveness of synthetic rutile and natural rutile manufactured from ilmenite ore Eun Jin Jung1*, Jinyoung Kim1 & Ye Rin Lee2 Studies on continuous and selective chlorination by using ilmenite have been actively conducted because the efcient removal of FeO from ilmenite(FeTiO3) ore using selective chlorination not only improves the reaction purity of TiCl4 but it also leads to price competitiveness compared to TiCl4 synthesized from natural rutile. The chlorination of synthetic rutile with FeO removed was compared with that of natural rutile to examine the reaction efciency. The selective chlorination efciency depends on the input amounts of coke and Cl2, as shown by thermodynamic calculation, when FeO is selectively removed. It was found that manufacturing of TiCl4 was easier by using the synthetic rutile, because it had greater porosity than natural rutile. Relatively greater pore volumes were found in the synthetic rutile than in natural rutile. It was confrmed that the reaction efciency of chlorination for TiCl4 production was directly related to the diference in the porosity distribution between the titanium ores, as verifed by a kinetic comparison of synthetic and natural rutiles. Ilmenite(FeTiO3) ore is a raw material for producing TiCl4 through the chlorination method and the sulfuric acid reaction method. TiCl 4 is used as a raw material for producing metallic titanium through the Kroll process 1–5 or for producing TiO2 used as a catalyst or pigment . Until now, high-grade rutile ore has been used for manu- facturing TiCl4. Te advantages of having low prices and extensive reserves have led to active research using the ilmenite ore.

  • Protect Laboratory Chemicals from Use in a Terrorist Attack
    Protect Laboratory Chemicals from Use in a Terrorist Attack Overview Chemicals and reagents used for research and development, testing, monitoring, or education are critical to production, nonproduction, diagnostic, and pharmaceutical laboratory services. However, in the wrong hands, some of these same chemicals can be used for great harm. What Is CFATS? In 2006, Congress authorized the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program. Managed by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the CFATS program identifies and regulates high-risk chemical facilities to ensure that security measures are in place that reduce the risk of certain chemicals being weaponized. Appendix A of the CFATS regulation lists more than 300 chemicals of interest (COI) and their respective screening threshold quantity (STQ), concentration, and security issues. If released, stolen or diverted, and/or used as a contaminant, these COI have the potential to cause significant loss of human life and/or health consequences. Any individual or facility in possession of COI that meets or exceeds the STQ and concentration must report those chemicals to CISA through an online survey called a Top-Screen. COI Commonly Found in Laboratories Laboratories that use COI are considered chemical facilities under CFATS and may be subject to its regulations. Some of the commonly reported COI include, but are not limited to: • Aluminum (powder) • Sarin • Ammonium perchlorate • Sodium nitrate • DF (Methyl phosphonyl difluoride) • Soman [o-Pinacolyl • HN1, HN2, and HN3 (Nitrogen mustard-1, 2, 3) methylphosphonofluoridate] • Hydrogen fluoride (anhydrous) • Sulfur Mustard (Mustard gas (H)) • Hydrogen peroxide (conc.

Several procedures were tested and those with C12H28O4Ti and CO(NH2)2 as precursors seemed the most promising and, consequently, were improved with different molar ratios, lower temperatures and the addition of NH4Cl as a secondary dopant of nitrogen. The obtained samples were studied with analytical techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). To complete the study, dye degradation and bacteriological tests were also performed. The results indicate that it is possible to obtain TiO2 NPs at lower temperatures with respect to those used in the literature; the best candidate that could satisfy all the requirements was a sample with a ◦ molar ratio of C12H28O4Ti:CO(NH2)2 at 2:1 and obtained at 50 C.

  • 53. Water Reactive Materials
    SYMPOSIUM SERIES No. 150 # 2004 IChemE WATER REACTIVE MATERIALS — INCORPORATION INTO SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENTS Lyn Fernie, Paul Wright and Theo Kapiasà AK EHS & Risk, Aker Kvaerner Engineering Services Ltd, Ashmore House, Stockton on Tees, TS18 3RE ÃIndependent Water reactive chemicals are generally aggressive materials that are used widely in the process industries. Common water reactive substances are sulphur trioxide, oleum, titanium tetrachloride, silicon tetrachloride, chlorosulphonic acid, chloroace- tyl chloride and phosphorus trichloride. When released to the atmosphere, water reactive materials generally react readily with any free ground water, substrate water and atmospheric water. The exact nature, kinetics and thermodynamics of these reactions govern the subsequent consequences of a release. Consequence modelling and dispersion analysis of water reactive materials is notoriously difficult due to the uncertainties surrounding the reaction with water. Very little experimental data are available on the release behaviour of many water reactive materials. There are often discrepancies and gaps in the data available on the liquid phase hydrolysis reaction; these discrepancies can be as extreme as whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. This paper will use a case study to show how the behaviour of water reactive materials has been incorporated into safety and environmental risk assessments, in particular for the purposes of the predictive aspects of COMAH Safety Reports. KEYWORDS: COMAH, reactive, consequence, dispersion, predictive, hydrolysis. THE REQUIREMENT TO MODEL WATER REACTIVE CHEMICALS The COMAH Regulations 19991 require that operators demonstrate that they have ident- ified potential major accident hazards and taken measures to prevent them and limit their consequences. Schedule 4 Part 2 Para 4b also requires an “assessment of the extent and severity of the consequences of identified major accidents”.
