Abstract:
A method of separating magnesium from wet-process phosphoric acid characterized in that the magnesium is separated as a readily filterable fluoride-phosphate complex compound containing magnesium and aluminum. The fluoride ion required for formation of the magnesium-containing precipitate is preferably formed by hydrolysis of fluorine compounds normally in the crude acid. In the case of insufficient quantities of any of said precipitation components, additions of such components are made to the acid or to the reaction components from which the acid is produced. The wet-process phosphoric acid low in magnesium is especially useful for production of stable ammonium polyphosphate fertilizer solutions.
Abstract:
N,N''-BIS(2-CHLORO-4-ALKYLAMINO-6-S-TRIAZINYL)AMINO)DIMETHYL ETHERS ARE PREPARED BY REACTING A 2-ALKYLAMINO-4AMINO-6-CHLORO-S-TRIAZINE WITH FORMALDEHYDE IN ALKALINE SOLUTION. THE PRODUCTS ARE HIGHLY SELECTIVE HERBICIDES. THE HERBICIDES ARE PARTICULARLY USEFUL BECAUSE THEY WILL SELECTIVELY DESTROY WEEDS IN BOTH CORN AND WHEAT CROPS, MAKING POSSIBLE AN INITIAL CROP OF CORN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A WHEAT CROP.
Abstract:
Cadmium, aluminum and magnesium metal corrosion by an aqueous deicer solution containing urea, ammonium nitrate and ethylene glycol is inhibited by incorporating therein about 0.05 percent to 0.40 percent by weight of a water-soluble mercaptobenzothiazole salt and about 0.05 percent to 0.40 percent by weight of a water-soluble chromate salt. The deicer solution is preferably for use to deice aircraft runways.
