Toluene disproportionation and coke formation over fluorided alumina and hydrogen-mordenite

Toluene transformation was investigated on a fluorided alumina and a protonic mordenite under hydrogen (0.8, 12 bar) and under nitrogen (12 bar). Hydrogen pressure considerably improves the catalytic stability of H-mordenite by inhibiting the formation of coke. Moreover, hydrogen eliminates part of the coke deposited by reaction under nitrogen, and regenerates the activity of the mordenite. On the contrary, hydrogen has no effect in the case of fluorided alumina. The particular behavior of the mordenite is attributed to its very strong acidity.

Br?nsted sites in H-forms of faujasites obtained from ammonium and guanidine forms

The infrared spectra of H-forms of Y zeolite made from the guanidine and ammonium forms were compared. The Brönsted acid sites have been characterized by adsorption of pyridine. Good correlation between the concentration of Brönsted acid sites and the catalytic activity of the samples has been found. It was concluded that guanidine cations limited localization of OH groups on the surface of the supercages.

On the dioximine complexes of transition metals

Twelve new complexes NH₄[Co(DH)₂(SO₃)(amine)]·t H₂O (DH ₂=dimethylglyoxime) have been synthesized and characterized. Their i.r. spectra show the SO₃ to be co-ordinated to the Co atom through the S atom. The thermal decompositions of a series of derivatives of this type have been investigated with a derivatograph. The first process is an endothermic dehydration reaction, occurring in a single stage or in two successive ones. The loss of the crystallization water is followed by another endothermic reaction, without a clear stoichiometry, which is referred to as deamination. At higher temperatures, exothermic pyrolysis processes occur. From the TG curves, kinetic parameters have been derived for the dehydration and deamination reactions.

Zusammenfassung Zwölf neue Komplexe der allgemeinen Formel NH₄[Co(DH)₂(SO₃)(amin)]·t H₂O (DH=Dimethylglyoxim) wurden synthetisiert und charakterisiert. Die IR-Spektren zeigen, daß SO₃ über das S-Atom koordinativ an das Co-Atom gebunden ist. Die thermische Zersetzung einer Reihe von Derivaten dieses Typs wurde mittels eines Derivatographen untersucht. Der erste Prozeß ist die in einem einzigen oder in zwei aufeinander folgenden Schritten verlaufende endotherme Dehydratisierung. Auf die Abgabe des Kristallwassers folgt eine andere endotherme Reaktion unklarer Stöchiometrie, die als Deaminierung bezeichnet wird. Bei höheren Temperaturen verlaufen exotherme Pyrolyseprozesse. Aus den TG-Kurven wurden kinetische Parameter für die Dehydratisierung und die Deaminierung bestimmt.

Study of the adsorption properties of a natural Hungarian mordenite and its ion-exchanged derivatives

The texture and adsorption properties of a natural, Hungarian mordenite were investigated by electron microscopy and BET adsorption measurements. The properties of the ion-exchanged adsorbents were characterized by CO₂ and SO₂ isotherms. The measurements were evaluated on the basis of the pore-filling theory of Dubinin. We have found that at 20°C the H⁺-form of mordenite interacts preferably with CO₂, while on the Na⁺- and Ca²⁺-derivatives stronger adsorption of SO₂ takes place. This fact accounts for their applicability as selective adsorbents.

Thermogravimetry of copper and copper oxides (Cu2O-CuO)

The thermogravimetry of mixtures of metallic copper and copper oxides was studied. The experiments were performed by heating the samples in air to 700–800° to transform all the components to copper(II) oxide, and continuing the heating in nitrogen to 1050–1100° when the dissociation of copper(II) oxide to copper(I) oxide is complete. The identification of the components and their quantitative determination were carried out by determining the shape, size, and ratio of the segments of the curves obtained during the heating. The method can be used for quantitative analysis of mixtures of copper and/or copper oxides.

Study of well-characterized Pt?Ru/C catalysts by oxygen electroreduction

A series of well characterized Pt–Ru bimetallic catalysts supported on graphite has been studied by means of the electroreduction of oxygen in a supporting electrolyte of 1 N H₂SO₄. A synergetic effect is observed when the activity per gram of catalyst is considered. However, this effect disappears when the activity values are corrected by the active surface area.

Kinetics of oxidation of carbonyl compounds by peroxomonosulfate. Formaldehyde, formic acid and formate anion

Kinetics of oxidation of formaldehyde, formic acid and formate anion by peroxomonosulfate (PMS) were studied. Formaldehyde is oxidized both by HSO ₅ ^– and SO ₅ ^2– , whereas formic acid and formate ion are oxidized by SO ₅ ^2– alone. The kinetic results show that the formaldehyde is 10³ times more reactive than formic acid, which in turn reacts 10² times faster than formate anion. Mechanisms are discussed in terms of the kinetic results.

Preparation,spectral and thermal studies of neodymium zirconyl oxalate hexahydrate

Neodymium zirconyl oxalate (NdZrOX) is prepared and characterized by chemical analysis and ir spectral studies. Its thermal decomposition has been investigated by using DTA, TG, DTG, X-ray diffraction and ir spectroscopy. On the basis of thermogravimetry and isothermal studies a probable mechanism for the decomposition is proposed. The decomposition proceeds mainly through three stages: i) dehydration between RT-413 K, ii) decomposition of oxalate between 413–943 K and iii) decomposition of the carbonate between 1028–1235 K to give a mixed oxide. The ir spectra and X-ray diffraction studies are made for identification of the intermediates. X-ray diffraction studies of the end product indicates that it belongs to cubic crystal system witha=11.520 Å.
