Use of Tetra-N -Butylammonium Permanganate for Inorganic 996 Inorg. Chem. 1986, 25, 996-999 Contribution from the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Structure Center, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405 Use of Tetra-n-butylammonium Permanganate for Inorganic Syntheses in Nonaqueous Solvents. Preparation and Structure of a Manganese(II1) Dimer Containing Bridging Phenoxo Oxygen Atoms John B. Vincent, Kirsten Folting, John C. Huffman, and George Christou* Received August 21, 1985 The use of N-n-Bu4Mn04for the synthesis of inorganic complexes in nonaqueous solvents is explored. A reaction system leading to the preparation of known Mn(pi~)~.H,0(1) (picH = picolinic acid) is described. 1 can be synthesized in high yields (40-70%) by using EtOH, MeCN, DMF, and Me2C0 as solvents. With salicylic acid (salH,) in pyridine (pyr) the product, after re- crystallization from EtOH/petroleum spirits, is the new compound [Mn(EtOH),] [Mn,(sal),(pyr),] (2). Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2,/n with a = 13.142 (3) A, b = 16.742 (5) A, c = 10.842 (2) A, p = 97.15 (1)O, and Z = 2 at T = -160 OC. The anion consists of two Mn(II1) atoms bridged by two p-phenoxo oxygen atoms from salicylate groups whose carboxylates are also bound to the metal. Each Mn(II1) additionally contains another salicylate and a pyridine; the dimer has Cisymmetry with each metal octahedrally coordinated. The cation is a Mn(I1) atom possessing four EtOH and two trans oxygen ligands, the latter belonging to salicylate carboxyl groups in the anion. The Mn(I1) is thus octahedrally coordinated and serves to link the anionic dimers to yield an infinite network in the crystal. 2 is the first example of a structurally characterized Mn(II1) dimer containing phenoxide bridges. Magnetic moment measurements in Me2S0 yield values of 3.14 pB/Mn(III), indicating that the dimer remains intact in solution and that the two d4 Mn(II1) atoms are antiferromagnetically coupled.

The influences of some important operating parameters, which are the initial pH, the concentration of potassium ferrate(VI) (K 2 FeO 4) and the RO 16 dye, and ultrasonic density (for only the sono-ferrate(VI) method), on the color removal have −1 been investigated. The optimum conditions have been determined as pH = 7 and [K 2 FeO 4 ] = 50 mg L for the −1 −1 individual ferrate(VI) oxidation method and pH = 7 and [K 2 FeO 4 ] = 50 mg L by direct sonication at 0.50 W mL ultrasonic density and 20 kHz fixed frequency for the sono-ferrate(VI) method. The color removal efficiencies were 85% by ferrate(VI) method and 91% by sono-ferrate(VI) method. Kinetic studies were also performed for the decolorization of RO 16 under the optimized conditions at room temperature. It was seen that the oxidative decolorization of RO 16 via the sono-ferrate(VI) method happened more rapidly because of the production of OH • radical through sonication compared to the individual ferrate(VI) method.

  • Manufacturing of Potassium Permanganate Kmno4  This Is the Most Important and Well Known Salt of Permanganic Acid
    Manufacturing of Potassium Permanganate KMnO4 This is the most important and well known salt of permanganic acid. It is prepared from the pyrolusite ore. It is prepared by fusing pyrolusite ore either with KOH or K2CO3 in presence of atmospheric oxygen or any other oxidising agent such as KNO3. The mass turns green with the formation of potassium manganate, K2MnO4. 2MnO2 + 4KOH + O2 →2K2MnO4 + 2H2O 2MnO2 + 2K2CO3 + O2 →2K2MnO4 + 2CO2 The fused mass is extracted with water. The solution is now treated with a current of chlorine or ozone or carbon dioxide to convert manganate into permanganate. 2K2MnO4 + Cl2 → 2KMnO4 + 2KCl 2K2MnO4 + H2O + O3 → 2KMnO4 + 2KOH + O2 3K2MnO4 + 2CO2 → 2KMnO4 + MnO2 + 2K2CO3 Now-a-days, the conversion is done electrolytically. It is electrolysed between iron cathode and nickel anode. Dilute alkali solution is taken in the cathodic compartment and potassium manganate solution is taken in the anodic compartment. Both the compartments are separated by a diaphragm. On passing current, the oxygen evolved at anode oxidises manganate into permanganate. At anode: 2K2MnO4 + H2O + O → 2KMnO4 + 2KOH 2- - - MnO4 → MnO4 + e + - At cathode: 2H + 2e → H2 Properties: It is purple coloured crystalline compound. It is fairly soluble in water. When heated alone or with an alkali, it decomposes evolving oxygen. 2KMnO4 → K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2 4KMnO4 + 4KOH → 4K2MnO4 + 2H2O + O2 On treatment with conc. H2SO4, it forms manganese heptoxide via permanganyl sulphate which decomposes explosively on heating. 2KMnO4+3H2SO4 → 2KHSO4 + (MnO3)2SO4 + 2H2O (MnO3)2SO4 + H2O → Mn2O7 + H2SO4 Mn2O7 → 2MnO2 + 3/2O2 Potassium permanganate is a powerful oxidising agent. A mixture of sulphur, charcoal and KMnO4 forms an explosive powder.

  • Experiment: Determination of Manganese in Steel
    p.1 of 4 Chemistry 201 – Winter 2007 Experiment: Determination of Manganese in Steel Manganese (Mn) in steel may be determined upon dissolution as manganese (VII) after oxidation from the manganese oxidation state (II). This procedure calls for three oxidizing agents. Manganese (VII) may be determined spectrophotometrically. During dissolution of the sample with dilute nitric acid to form iron (II) and manganese (II), nitrogen oxide gases are formed. These must be removed, partially by boiling, and the rest with ammonium peroxydisulfate which also removes carbon or other organic matter present. The nitrogen oxides may react with periodic acid which is used to convert manganese to the (VII) oxidation state. Excess peroxydisulfate is decomposed by boiling. The equations are: - + 2+ 3 Mn + 2 NO3 + 8H ---> 3 Mn + 2 NO (g) + 4H2O 2- - 2- + 2 NO2 (g) + S2O8 + 2 H2O ---> 2 NO3 + 2 SO4 + 4 H 2- 2- + 2 S2O8 + 2 H2O + heat ---> 4 SO4 + O2 + 4 H 2+ - - + - 2 Mn + 5 IO4 + 3 H2O ---> 2 MnO4 + 6 H + 5 IO3 NO(colorless gas) + 1/2 O2 (g) <---> NO2 (brown gas) Note: Peroxydisulfate has the required oxidizing potential to change the oxidation state of manganese from (II) to (IV), but the reaction is too slow. Silver could be employed catalytically but the results are too erratic. Periodate oxidizes the manganese to the (VII) state quantitatively and rapidly at the boiling point, and it is advisable to add the sparingly soluble periodate salt in several portions to maintain an excess and to allow for some decomposition of the latter salt at the elevated temperatures.

  • In Situ Chemical Oxidation of Creosote/Coal Tar Residuals: Experimental and Numerical Investigation
    In situ Chemical Oxidation of Creosote/Coal Tar Residuals: Experimental and Numerical Investigation by Steven Philip Forsey A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Earth Sciences Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2004 ©Steven Philip Forsey 2004 I herby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final version, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public Steven Forsey ii Abstract Coal tar, coal tar creosote and oily wastes are often present as subsurface contaminants that may migrate below the water table, leaving a widely distributed residual source of contaminants leaching to the ground water. In situ chemical oxidation is a potentially viable technology for the remediation of aquifers contaminated with creosote and coal tars. The oxidant of choice would be flushed through the contaminated area to oxidize aqueous contaminants and enhance the mass transfer of contaminants from the oil phase. A series of batch and column experiments were performed to assess the ability of a chemical oxidizing reagent to oxidize creosote compounds and to increase mass transfer rates. Results from the column experiments were then simulated using a reactive transport model that considered 12 different creosote compounds undergoing dissolution, oxidation and advective-dispersive transport. Three strong chemical oxidizing reagents, Fenton’s Reagent, potassium persulfate with ferrous ions, and potassium permanganate were tested with batch experiments to determine their reactivity towards creosote compounds. All three reagents successfully decomposed aqueous creosote compounds and were able to reduce the mass of the monitored creosote compounds within the oil phase.

  • Chitosan Encapsulation of Ferratevi for Controlled Release to Water
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Chitosan Encapsulation of FerrateVI for Controlled Release to Water:Mechanistic Insights and Degradation of Organic Contaminant Bo-Yen Chen1, Hsuen-Wen Kuo1, Virender K. Sharma 2 & Walter Den3* VI 2− VI Tetraoxy-anion of iron in +6 oxidation state (Fe O4 , Fe ), commonly called ferrate, has shown tremendous potential as a green oxidative agent for decontaminating water and air. Encapsulation of solid potassium salt of ferrate (K2FeO4) circumvents the inherent drawbacks of the instability of ferrate under humid conditions. In the encapsulated strategy, controlled release without exposing the solid ferrate to the humid environment avoids self-decomposition of the oxidant by water in the air, and the ferrate is mostly used to decontaminate water efciently. This study demonstrated the formulation of oxidative microcapsules with natural materials present in chitosan, whose release rate of the core material can be controlled by the type of intermediate hydrocarbon layer and the pH-dependent swelling of chitosan shell. The pH played a pivotal role in swelling chitosan shell and releasing the core oxidant. In a strong acidic solution, chitosan tended to swell quickly and release FeVI at a faster rate than under neutral conditions. Additionally, among the several long-chain hydrocarbon compounds, oleic acid exhibited the strongest “locking” efect when applied as the intermediate layer, giving rise to the slow release of FeVI. Coconut oil and mineral oil, in comparison, allowed FeVI to penetrate the layer within shorter lengths of time and showed comparable degrees of degradation of target contaminant, methylene orange, under ambient temperature and near-neutral conditions.
