[MK7a]: gray wet ppt. Was some supernat treated with HCl. Merged (MK10) into (MK9). Both are very light blue powders (SiO2?). Discarded the white ppt of [MK18c]. Merged (MK1ab) (blue silica?) + (MK9) + (MK10) + (MK7a) in erlen (MK27). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dumped [Mk7b] (black ppt + light blue supernat) + H2O to erlen (MK28) (olive brown susp). Added 8 mL HCit 58% sol. Result: brown susp. Filtering (MK18): * (MK18l)dark pink liq. * (MK18p) ppt brownish translucent fibrous; may be paper fibers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Prepared another batch of HCl 20% from HCl 37%. To each gram of HCl 37%, one must add 0.85 g H2O. Cooled HCl 37% and empty bottle in ice bath. Added 101 g HCl 37%, 85 g H2O ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Added 2 mL HCl 20% to [MK14a]. Originally gray blue ppt, treated with glucose, now brown ppt. Turned into pink sol, with ppt of mold. Added 2 mL HCl 20% to [MK14b]. Same origin, but with NaAsc instead of glucose. Darker orange solution. Filtered (MK1d): * supernat very sly pink, added to (MK25) * white sandy ppt, added to (MK27) Discarded [FR2] [FR3] [FR1] (had dried up). [FS4] (iron acetate) had dried to dark orangish black solid. Added H2O. Redissolved almost completely to clear dark orange liq. [FS5] (iron lactate) still dark yellow solution. In [FOX1] put 1 g FeSO4.xH2O dissolved in H2O. Milky light yellow solution. Added ~4 mL H2O2 dropwise; lots of bubbling, turned into orange-ocher suspension. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
