    ARS SEPARATORIA AA ACTA Ars Separatoria Acta 2 (2003) 125-138 www.ars_separatoria.chem. uni.torun.pl EXTRACTION EQUILIBRIA OF HYPOPHOSPHOROUS, PHOSPHOROUS AND PHOSPHORIC ACIDS BY TOLUENE SOLUTION OF TRI-n-OCTYLAMINE Takashi SANA2, Koichiro SHIOMORI1, and Yoshinobu KAWANO1* 1 Department of Applied Chemistry, Miyazaki Univ., Miyazaki 889-2192, Japan e-mail: [email protected] 2 Yoshitama Surface Finishing Co., LTD, Nobeoka 882-0024, Japan ABSTRACT The extraction equilibria of hypophosphorous, phosphorous and phosphoric acids with tri-n-octylamine as an extractant in toluene were measured at 303K. Under these conditions, undissociated acid (A') reacts with the amine (B) to form various complexes in toluene. The complexes formed and equilibrium constants were estimated by a graphical analysis method. The complexes formed in these systems were found to be A'nB type species for hypophosphorous acid, A'nBm type species for phosphorous acid, (A'B)n type species for phosphoric acid, respectively. The experimental results could be explained by reaction models and equilibrium constants for each acid. Keywords: Hypophosphorous acid; Phosphorous acid; Phosphoric acid; Tri-n-octylamine; Extraction equilibrium INTRODUCTION Solvent extraction gives the advantage of selective separation in the recycling of useful materials [1,2]. The nonelectrolytic nickel-plating wastewater consists of nickel, some organic acids, hypophosphorous acid, phosphorous acid, and phosphoric acid. In order to design a new wastewater treatment equipment of nonelectrolytic nickel-plating, it is necessary to clarify the extraction equilibrium and kinetics for each component contained in wastewater. For that fundamental knowledge, the extraction equilibrium and kinetic for nickel with 5-dodecylsalicylaldoxime [3,4] as well as * Corresponding author 125 Sana, et.al.

J., Tsai, J. N., Wong, I. T., Hsieh, T. F., and Lin, C. Y. 2009. A simple technique, concentration and application schedule for using neutralized phosphorous acid to control Phytophthora diseases. Plant Pathol. Bull. 18: 155-165. A simple method for application of phosphorous acid to control Phytophthora diseases was developed. The proposed method involves measuring equal weight of phosphorous acid and potassium hydroxide and dissolving phosphorous acid in water before adding potassium hydroxide. The pH of the neutralized phosphorous acid solution (NPA) is 6.2-6.7. The NPA concentration at 5000 mg/L was effective in controlling tomato seedling blight caused by Phytophthora capsici when using soil drench method. For suppression of lily leaf and blossom blight caused by Phytophthora parasitica, foliar application is much more effective than soil drench. However, NPA concentrations exceeding 2000 mg/L were phytotoxic to young plant tissues. The best results were achieved by applying NPA at the rate of 1000 mg/L for 3 times at one week intervals.

  • Product Safety Summary
    Product Safety Summary Phosphorus Trichloride CAS No. 7719-12-2 This Product Safety Summary is intended to provide a general overview of the chemical substance. The information in the summary is basic information and is not intended to provide emergency response information, medical information or treatment information. The summary should not be used to provide in-depth safety and health information. In-depth safety and health information can be found in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the chemical substance. Names Phosphorus trichloride Phosphorus (III) chloride Phosphorous chloride PCl 3 Product Overview Solvay Novecare does not sell phosphorus trichloride directly to consumers and phosphorus trichloride has no known uses except as an intermediate to produce other chemicals. Phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) is used as a chemical intermediate to produce a variety of products which are used in several applications including agricultural products, surfactants and metal extractants, flame retardants, additives for lubricants and stabilizers for plastics. Phosphorus trichloride is used in industrial applications and other processes where workplace exposures can occur. Consumer exposure does not occur as phosphorus trichloride is not used in any commercially available product. Phosphorus trichloride is dangerous to human health. Phosphorus trichloride may be fatal if inhaled, highly toxic if swallowed, harmful if absorbed through skin and can cause severe burns which may result in scarring. Phosphorus trichloride is consumed in manufacturing processes. PCl3 can make its way into the environment through unintentional releases (spills). PCl3 will not bioaccumulate but is not biodegradable. Based on ecotoxicological testing performed on fish and fresh-water invertebrates, PCl3 in higher concentrations can be harmful to aquatic life due to formation of acids from the hydrolysis of PCl3.
