摘要:
The disclosure provides for methods of oxidizing carbide anions, or negative ions, from salt like carbides at temperatures from about 150° C. to about 750° C. In another aspect, the disclosure provides for reactions with intermediate transition metal carbides. In yet another aspect, the disclosure provides for a system of reactions where salt-like carbide anions and intermediate carbide anions are oxidized to produce pure carbon of various allotropes.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of an amine complex of a metal halide which comprises reacting said metal with an amine hydrohalide. The process can be extended to the use of metals such as aluminum, magnesium, zinc, iron, and the like.
摘要:
A process for refining brass and cuprous chloride includes contacting solid cuprous chloride with molten brass scrap which converts the zinc in the brass scrap to a zinc chloride fume and which reduces the copper values in the cuprous chloride to molten elemental copper. The zinc chloride fume, containing minor quantities of cuprous chloride, is condensed and reduced by contact with aluminum scrap to convert aluminum in the scrap to an aluminum chloride fume and forming a molten zinc-copper-aluminum alloy product. If desired, the aluminum chloride fume can be oxidized with steam to yield an aluminum oxide product and by-product hydrochloric acid.
摘要:
Aluminum chloride gases and other gases from a processing system are directed to a cold trap including a blower connected thereto. The blower directs the gases, except for the aluminum chloride, out of the cold trap. The aluminum chloride is solidified in the trap. Means including a heater are provided to convert the solid aluminum chloride to a vapor and selectively empty the aluminum chloride out of the cold trap into another trap associated with means for chemically treating the aluminum chloride. The cold trap is then cooled and ready to receive additional aluminum chloride from the processing system.
摘要:
An improved method of producing anhydrous aluminum chloride via aluminum chloride hexahydrate is provided. In a preferred embodiment the method is incorporated into a process for producing aluminum from aluminous ores, and particularly from domestic ore sources comprising (1) acid leaching an aluminous ore to produce aluminum chloride hexahydrate (ACH); (2) calcining the ACH to a specific temperature of above about 450.degree. C. to produce highly reactive aluminous particles containing high residual chloride and low residual hydrogen levels; (3) reductively chlorinating the calcined ACH at a low temperature to produce anhydrous aluminum chloride suitable for electrolytic reduction; and (4) electrolytically reducing the anhydrous aluminum chloride in a fused salt to produce aluminum metal and chlorine which is recycled to step (3).
摘要:
Process for changing the volatile aluminum chloride complex contained in an ethylbenzene production stream into a non-volatile, aluminum chloride product of a nature such that the ethylbenzene in the stream can be separated from the aluminum chloride catalyst by flash distillation. Conversion of the volatile aluminum chloride complex to a non-volatile aluminum chloride product is accomplished by adding selected alcohols, aldehydes, or ketones to the ethylbenzene stream.
摘要:
A hydrated metal salt is dehydrated to its anhydrous form by dissolving the metal salt hydrate in an organic solvent; and contacting the solvent solution of metal salt hydrate with a molecular sieve of a pore size sufficient to permit the absorption of water molecules but of a size too small to absorb solvent molecules.
摘要:
Recovery of selectively constituted high purity aluminum chloride from the gaseous effluent of the chlorination of sodium contaminated alumina including the steps of purifying such gaseous effluent to provide essentially contaminant-free aluminum chloride in gaseous form in a gaseous carrier through selectively cooling the hot gaseous effluent to a temperature range well below the chlorination temperature but above the ambient condition condensation temperature of aluminum chloride yet sufficient to condense a selective portion of the condensable constituents therein including substantially all of the sodium aluminum chloride values therein, intermediate the steps of passing such gaseous effluent through filtration media to effect the separation of the condensed sodium aluminum chloride values and entrained solid and liquid particles therefrom and condensing high purity aluminum chloride values from the purified residual gaseous effluent to selectively constituted solid form at controlled temperatures.
