Route of Synthesis (ROS)
| Conditions | Yield |
| With sodium nitrite In water at 90℃; under 760.051 Torr; for 6h; Reagent/catalyst; Concentration; Temperature; Experimental Procedure The effect of catalyst loading (Aeroxide P-90 Ti02 as catalyst) on reduction of calcium carbonate was studied using sodium nitrite as reducing agent. The Aeroxide P90 Ti02 catalyst loading was varied from 0.17 to 0.29 (w/vpercent) in order to find its effecton reduction of calcium carbonate. Initially known quantities of calcium carbonate (10 g/l), reducing agent sodium nitrite (12.9 g/l) was added into the water (350 ml). The reaction solution was stirred at 650 rpm and subsequently solution was heated at 90 C & atmospheric pressure for 6 hrs. When the desired reaction temperature (90 ‘C) was reached, then it was considered as the zero reaction time and sample was withdrawnthrough the sample tube as a zero time sample. Subsequently samples were withdrawn at specific time intervals through the sample tube. Table 9 shows the amount of sodium formate formed during the reduction reaction. | 98.98% |
