EXTRACTION OF METALS SUMMARY Most metals exist in compounds in rocks in the Earth’s crust. Many of these ores contain oxides or sulphides of the metals. The compounds need to be reduced to produce the metals as elements. Metals are very useful to us because of their special properties. Reduction means removal of oxygen or gain of electrons. Carbon is a good chemical reducing agent because it readily combines with oxygen‚ but it is only useful for the metals below it in the Reactivity

Endonucleases cleave the strands of DNA. For this experiment‚ pBR322 was the specimen to use. Restriction Endonucleases work by cleaving the sugar phosphate backbone of specific DNA sites. Restriction enzymes that have been isolated from bacteria have a defensive role. This idea is illustrated when an attacking foreign cell DNA is trying to alter the bacteria; restriction enzymes cleave the DNA rendering it inert. The second part of the experiment deals with Gel Electrophoresis. The samples are loaded into

protein electrophoresis. Protein electrophoresis involves the movement of proteins within an electric field with mobility being dependent on factors such as the size and shape (secondary and tertiary structure)‚ as well as the charge of the protein (due to primary structure). Other factors that can affect the mobility are electric-field strength‚ matrix pH‚ and ionic buffer strength of the electric field. Because there are so many factors involved in analyzing proteins during electrophoresis‚ it is

SOLVENT EXTRACTION Solvent extraction‚ also known as liquid extraction and partitioning‚ is a method to separate compounds based on their relative solubility in two different immiscible liquid‚ usually water and organic solvent. It is an extraction from one liquid phase to another liquid phrase. Liquid extraction is a basic technique in chemical laboratories‚ where it is performed using a separator funnel. This type of process is commonly performed after a chemical reaction as part of the work-up

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Jaybee Balilea‚ Sharmaine Baysic‚ and Maria Anjelette Patricia Belen 3BIO7‚ Department of Biology‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Extraction is a technique for isolating and purifying organic substances. In this technique‚ a solution is combined thoroughly with a second solvent that is immiscible with the first solvent. The solute is extracted from one solvent into the other because it is more soluble in the second solvent

developed as an alternative method for extracting shoreline features from LiDAR data. While most of numerical algorithms are implemented using C++ programming language‚ some algorithms use available functions of ArcObjects in ArcGIS. Based on VB .NET and ArcObjects programming‚ a graphical user’s interface has been developed to integrate and organize shoreline extraction routines into a software package. This product represents the first comprehensive software tool dedicated for extracting shorelines

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves using Dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) Abstract The extraction of caffeine (C8H10N402) was done in two parts. The first procedure used was solid-liquid extraction which was done by boiling the tea leaves in 100 ml. distilled water for 5-10 minutes. The filtrate was acquired and was extracted again by liquid-liquid extraction using dichloromethane (CH2Cl2). The combined DCM (CH2Cl2) was washed and dried to yield crude caffeine. The crude caffeine was purified

TITANIUM EXTRACTION ASSIGNMENT 1 1.TiO2+Cl2-----------------TiCl4+O2 2.Why is an atmosphere of argon used for this reaction ? The titanium (iv) chloride is added to a reactor in which very pure sodium has been heated to about 5500c -everything being under an innert argon atmosphere.During this reaction the temperature increases to about 10000 c . The reaction is carried out in an argon atmosphere to prevent magnessium and sodium from reacting with oxygen in the air. 3.Another gas used instead of

Extraction of metals The History of Metals. Metals have been used by people for many thousands of years. Gold and silver‚ found as native metal‚ were used both as jewellery and as a status symbol - nothing new there. These metals were known in the Stone Age‚ but gold and silver are too soft to be used as tools. The first really useful metal to be discovered was bronze. This began the Bronze Age. Bronze was used extensively for tools and weapons in Asia and Africa from 4‚500 B.C. (6‚500 years
