    Preparing to Manufacture Hydrogen Peroxide

    PREPARING TO MANUFACTURE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE Part of the Hydrogen Peroxide Propulsion Guide The early laboratory preparation of hydrogen peroxide was based on the technique that Thenard used during the initial preparation of hydrogen peroxide. In this technique, barium nitrate, purified by recrystallization, was decomposed by heating in air in a porcelain retort. The resulting oxide was further oxidized by heating in a stream of oxygen to a dull red heat. The barium peroxide which formed was then dampened, ground, and dissolved in hydrochloric acid (nitric acid was used in Thenard’s initial experiments). A slight excess of sulfuric acid was then added to precipitate barium sulfate and regenerate hydrochloric acid. The procedure of barium peroxide solution and sulfate precipitation was repeated several times in the same solution to increase the peroxide concentration (concentrations of up to 33 percent by weight hydrogen peroxide could be achieved in this manner). The concentrated solution containing water, hydrogen peroxide, and hydrochloric acid, along with accumulated impurities, was cooled with ice and saturated with barium peroxide; iron and manganese impurities in the solution were then precipitated out as phosphates. The hydrochloric acid was removed by the addition of silver sulfate and the sulfate ion was removed by the subsequent addition of barium oxide. Further concentration was accomplished by vacuum distillation until “no further density increase occurs.” Thenard reported that 100 w/o hydrogen peroxide (on the basis of density data and the measurement of the volume of oxygen released) could be obtained by this technique. The first record of commercial production of hydrogen peroxide appeared in the 1865 to 1875 period.

The molecular and crystal structure of the adduct NF3·BF3 was studied computationally using density functional theory. It shows that the adduct exists in the form of a complex but is not ionic. The heats of formation in the gas and the condensed phase of the adduct are −1266.09 and −1276.37 kJ·mol−1, respectively, which indicates that it is stable under atmospheric conditions. The crystal form belongs to P 21/c space group. The calculated large band gap (Eg) of the crystal proves that it is stable. The conduction band (LUCO) is mainly contributed by the p orbital of N atom and the valence band (HOCO) from the p orbital of F atom. Keywords.

Additional Contacts: https://www.extension.iastate.edu/ag/swine FIBER Q. What are my other options for high fiber ingredients besides DDGS? A. The cost of all ingredients, including high fiber ingredients, varies by location and over time. So, message #1 here is to always keep an eye on ingredient costs because they can change as conditions change. And what is economical in one location may be priced out of the market in another. But high fiber ingredient options with greater than 25% NDF include (typical NDF % in brackets): corn cobs (81), soybean hulls (59), safflower meal (56), brewers grains (49), sugar beet pulp (45), corn germ meal (44), alfalfa meal (42), sunflower meal (37), wheat middlings (35), sorghum DDGS (34), corn bran without solubles (33), wheat bran (32), dehulled sunflower meal (30), wheat shorts (29), rice bran (26), dehulled safflower meal (26). Q. Will the use of high fiber diets lead to the build-up of solids in the pit? A. Using an example of a 35% DDGS diet or 20% soy hulls diet, it generally depends on how you grind them.

    CFNP TAP Report for Urea January 2004 SUMMARY of TAP

    CFNP TAP Report for Urea January 2004 SUMMARY OF TAP REVIEWERS’ ANALYSES1 Urea is being petitioned for use as an insect (fruit fly) attractant in sticky traps in order to prevent extensive damage to olive and fruit crops. Urea slowly and progressively breaks down to ammonia and carbon dioxide inside the sticky traps. Ammonia is a volatile compound that lures fruit flies into the sticky traps. The size and placement of the openings leading into the sticky traps are designed to favor the trapping of fruit flies with minimal trapping of other insects. Ammonium carbonate, a substance already approved for use as bait in insect traps, also breaks down to produce ammonia over an extended period of time. The petitioner is requesting that urea be permitted on the National List of synthetic substances allowed for use in organic crop production since its mode of action is similar to that of ammonium carbonate. All three reviewers concluded that urea, as petitioned, is a synthetic substance. Two of the reviewers recommended, without hesitation, that urea should be included on the National List. The other reviewer had concerns about allowing urea on the National List since it has not historically been allowed for use in organic crop production and since other acceptable substances are available for insect control. However, this reviewer also recommended that urea be allowed on the National List since it will only be used as an insect attractant in sticky traps. Synthetic or Non-synthetic?
