  2. Reformatsky reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformatsky_reaction

    The Reformatsky reaction (sometimes transliterated as Reformatskii reaction) is an organic reaction which condenses aldehydes or ketones with α-halo esters using metallic zinc to form β-hydroxy-esters: [1] [2] The Reformatsky reaction. The organozinc reagent, also called a 'Reformatsky enolate', is prepared by treating an alpha-halo ester ...

  3. Zinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc

    Zinc is refined by froth flotation of the ore, roasting, and final extraction using electricity (electrowinning). Zinc is an essential trace element for humans, [8] [9] [10] animals, [11] plants [12] and for microorganisms [13] and is necessary for prenatal and postnatal development. [14]

  4. Waelz process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waelz_process

    The Waelz process is a method of recovering zinc and other relatively low boiling point metals from metallurgical waste (typically electric arc furnace flue dust) and other recycled materials using a rotary kiln (waelz kiln). The zinc enriched product is referred to as waelz oxide, and the reduced zinc by product as waelz slag.

  5. Sherardising - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherardising

    Sherardising is a process of galvanization of ferrous metal surfaces, also called vapour galvanising and dry galvanizing.The process is named after British metallurgist Sherard Osborn Cowper-Coles (son of naval inventor Cowper Phipps Coles) who invented and patented the method c. 1900.

  6. Tipson–Cohen reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipson–Cohen_reaction

    The Tipson–Cohen reaction is a name reaction first discovered by Stuart Tipson and Alex Cohen at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington D.C. [1] The Tipson–Cohen reaction occurs when two neighboring secondary sulfonyloxy groups in a sugar molecule are treated with zinc dust (Zn) and sodium iodide (NaI) in a refluxing solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) to give an ...

  7. McMurry reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMurry_reaction

    The nature of low-valent titanium species formed is varied as the products formed by reduction of the precursor titanium halide complex will naturally depend upon both the solvent (most commonly THF or DME) and the reducing agent employed: typically, lithium aluminum hydride, zinc-copper couple, zinc dust, magnesium-mercury amalgam, magnesium ...

  8. Knorr pyrrole synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knorr_pyrrole_synthesis

    Zinc dust was then stirred in, reducing the oxime group to the amine. This reduction consumes two equivalents of zinc and four equivalents of acetic acid. Knorr 1886 synthesis. Modern practice is to add the oxime solution resulting from the nitrosation and the zinc dust gradually to a well-stirred solution of ethyl acetoacetate in glacial ...

  9. Merrill–Crowe process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrill–Crowe_process

    The Merrill–Crowe Process is a separation technique for removing gold from the solution obtained by the cyanide leaching of gold ores. It is an improvement of the MacArthur-Forrest process, where an additional vacuum is managed to remove air in the solution (invention of Crowe), and zinc dust is used instead of zinc shavings (improvement of Merrill).
