    Preparation of Telluric Acid from Tellurium Dioxide by Oxidation with Potassium Permanganate Frank C. Mathers, Charles M. Rice, Howard Broderick, and Robert Forney, Indiana University General Statement Tellurium dioxide, Te0 2 , although periodically similar to sulfur dioxide, cannot be oxidized by nitric acid to the valence of six, i.e., to telluric acid, H 2 Te04.2H 2 0. Among the many stronger oxidizing agents that will produce this oxidation, potassium permanganate in a nitric acid solution is quite satisfactory. This paper gives directions and data for the preparation of telluric acid by this reaction. The making of telluric acid is a desirable laboratory experiment because (1) tellurim dioxide is available in large quantities and is easily obtained, (2) the telluric acid is a stable compound, easily purified, easily crystallized, and non-corrosive, and (3) students are interested in experimenting with the rarer elements. The small soluibility of telluric acid and the high solubility of both manganese and potassium nitrates in nitric acidi gives a sufficient differ- ence in properties for successful purification by crystallization of the telluric acid. Methods of Analyses Tellurium dioxide can be volumetrically 2 titrated in a sulfuric acid solution by an excess of standard potassium permanganate, followed by enough standard oxalic acid to decolorize the excess of permanganate. The excess of oxalic acid must then be titrated by more of the perman- ganate. The telluric acid can be titrated, like any ordinary monobasic acid, 3 (1911). with standard sodium hydroxide using phenolphthalein as an indicator, if an equal volume of glycerine is added. If any nitric acid is present, it must be neutralized first with sodium hydroxide, using methyl orange as indicator.

  • A Review of the Structural Architecture of Tellurium Oxycompounds
    Mineralogical Magazine, May 2016, Vol. 80(3), pp. 415–545 REVIEW OPEN ACCESS A review of the structural architecture of tellurium oxycompounds 1 2,* 3 A. G. CHRISTY ,S.J.MILLS AND A. R. KAMPF 1 Research School of Earth Sciences and Department of Applied Mathematics, Research School of Physics and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia 2 Geosciences, Museum Victoria, GPO Box 666, Melbourne, Victoria 3001, Australia 3 Mineral Sciences Department, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA [Received 24 November 2015; Accepted 23 February 2016; Associate Editor: Mark Welch] ABSTRACT Relative to its extremely low abundance in the Earth’s crust, tellurium is the most mineralogically diverse chemical element, with over 160 mineral species known that contain essential Te, many of them with unique crystal structures. We review the crystal structures of 703 tellurium oxysalts for which good refinements exist, including 55 that are known to occur as minerals. The dataset is restricted to compounds where oxygen is the only ligand that is strongly bound to Te, but most of the Periodic Table is represented in the compounds that are reviewed. The dataset contains 375 structures that contain only Te4+ cations and 302 with only Te6+, with 26 of the compounds containing Te in both valence states. Te6+ was almost exclusively in rather regular octahedral coordination by oxygen ligands, with only two instances each of 4- and 5-coordination. Conversely, the lone-pair cation Te4+ displayed irregular coordination, with a broad range of coordination numbers and bond distances.

  • 125Te NMR Provides Evidence of Autoassociation of Organo-Ditellurides in Solution† Cite This: Phys

J. W. Elder and I. Vargas-Baca* 125 The frequency of the resonance of Te of two organo-ditellurides, R–Te–Te–R (R = 4-CH3C6H4 and 2-(CH3)2NCH2C6H4), in solution undergoes a low-field shift as the concentration of the sample increases. In sharp contrast, the resonance of a sterically hindered ditelluride (R = (C6H5(CH3)2Si)3C) and telluric acid Received 25th August 2016, display the opposite effect. While the negative concentration coefficients can be explained by the change Accepted 11th October 2016 in magnetic susceptibility, the positive coefficients are consistent with autoassociation of the molecules DOI: 10.1039/c6cp05892b through tellurium-centred supramolecular interactions. Although the corresponding equilibrium constants are small, the process is shown to be exothermic. However, the influence of autoassociation is much www.rsc.org/pccp smaller than the effects of solvent polarity and the conformation of the ditelluride bond.

  • Extreme Environments and High-Level Bacterial Tellurite Resistance
    microorganisms Review Extreme Environments and High-Level Bacterial Tellurite Resistance Chris Maltman 1,* and Vladimir Yurkov 2 1 Department of Biology, Slippery Rock University, Slippery Rock, PA 16001, USA 2 Department of Microbiology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +724-738-4963 Received: 28 October 2019; Accepted: 20 November 2019; Published: 22 November 2019 Abstract: Bacteria have long been known to possess resistance to the highly toxic oxyanion tellurite, most commonly though reduction to elemental tellurium. However, the majority of research has focused on the impact of this compound on microbes, namely E. coli, which have a very low level of resistance. Very little has been done regarding bacteria on the other end of the spectrum, with three to four orders of magnitude greater resistance than E. coli. With more focus on ecologically-friendly methods of pollutant removal, the use of bacteria for tellurite remediation, and possibly recovery, further highlights the importance of better understanding the effect on microbes, and approaches for resistance/reduction. The goal of this review is to compile current research on bacterial tellurite resistance, with a focus on high-level resistance by bacteria inhabiting extreme environments. Keywords: tellurite; tellurite resistance; extreme environments; metalloids; bioremediation; biometallurgy 1. Introduction Microorganisms possess a wide range of extraordinary abilities, from the production of bioactive molecules [1] to resistance to and transformation of highly toxic compounds [2–5]. Of great interest are bacteria which can convert the deleterious oxyanion tellurite to elemental tellurium (Te) through reduction. Currently, research into bacterial interactions with tellurite has been lagging behind investigation of the oxyanions of other metals such as nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), iron (Fe), and cobalt (Co).

A review of the literature shows that there have been several methods of preparing telluric acid. Meyer and Franke (4) oxidized the elementary tellurium with a mixture of barium chlorate and sulfuric acid. Krepelka and Kubik (2) oxidized the elementary tellurium with 30 percent hydrogen peroxide, but their method necessitated using a 10-15 fold excess of the oxidizing agent. Staundenmaier (9) reacted a mixture of nitric and chromic acids with tellurium dioxide to effect oxidation to telluric acid. The procedure as developed by Mathers et al. (3) is the most widely used. Crude tellurium dioxide is purified and then oxidized by a slight excess of permanganate in a hot solution of about five molar nitric acid.

    Send Orders of Reprints at [email protected] The Open Thermodynamics Journal, 2013, 7, (Suppl 1, M5) 35-56 35 Open Access Mass Spectrometric Study of Stability, Thermochemistry and Structures of the Gaseous Oxyacid Salts Sergey I. Lopatin* and Sergey M. Shugurov St. Petersburg State University, Universitetskii pr., 26, St. Petersburg, 198504, Russia Abstract: Experimental data obtained by Knudsen Effusion Mass Spectrometry and results of quantum-chemical calculations on the structure and thermodynamic properties of gaseous oxyacid salts were systematized. A criterion of thermal stability of these compounds was offered and regularities in the atomization enthalpies were established. Keywords: Review, Knudsen Effusion Mass Spectrometry (KEMS), quantum chemistry, thermochemistry, molecular structure, high temperature, oxide systems, oxyacid salts. INTRODUCTION obtained showing that compounds which were later named “oxyacid salts” [5, 7, 16] or “binary oxides” [4] are stable in The systematic studies on vaporization and vapor at high temperatures. Systematic studies in this field thermodynamic properties of oxide systems have been were initiated in early 1960s, and later the reviews [4-7, 17, carried out in our University in last 50 years. Vaporization 18] appeared devoted to the stability and thermodynamic studies on oxides provided a great body of facts concerning properties of the gaseous oxyacid salts. Salts can be the qualitative and quantitative composition of the vapor and presented as products of the reaction between acidic and thermodynamic characteristic of vaporization and thermal basic oxides. Our systematic study of the vaporization of dissociation reactions. The most valuable information was oxide systems allowed us to reveal certain regularities, in obtained by means of high temperature mass spectrometry particular, we found that the stability of a gaseous salt allowing the partial pressures of vapor species to be depends of the difference of acid-base properties of oxides measured within a wide concentration range.
