Hello Boy's and Girl's, as a newbie, i must say that i have enjoyed this forum immensely, great stuff.
I have searched this forum for something on using SMB to reduce NO3- in-situ with the reduction of PMG’s. As a bucket chemist, I have found this forum informative beyond and above expectation though challenging, lol. Having realised I had not gotten rid of the dreaded NO3- when trying SMB, I decided to reduce the volume via distillation condensation, and had notice mass precipitation upon heating. Having studied the REDOX of this reaction (4 Redox equations in total), the following became apparent:
5H2SO3- + 2NO3- + 5SO4- + 8H+ + N2(g) + H2O
The SO4- will ppt any Pb that may be present. My way of thinking is that this may aid in refining PMG’s from base metals and should reduce the number of sample reductions. Any waste goes into a bucket along with Al foil, and any SMB still around will help reduce my waste. I throw nothing away.
If I made a blunder somewhere here please let me know. Also does anyone know why my stannous chloride don’t work.
Cheers
