Interaction of nitric oxide with NiCr2O4

Interaction of NO with NiCr₂O₄ has been studied at 473–1173 K. It has been established that on nickel-chromium spinels NO decomposition practically does not take place. Nitric oxide can interact only with prereduced samples to reoxidize them.

Interaction of CO and O2 on the oxidized surface of polycrystalline palladium

The interaction of CO and O₂ on the oxidized surface of polycrystalline palladium under steady state reaction conditions has been studied. The adsorption of carbon monoxide leads to the appearance of its and states. The state on the surface shifts the temperature dependence of the CO oxidation rate under s.s. conditions by about 200 K.

The thermal behaviour of solvates in the LiCI(MgCl2, AlCl3) water-1,4-dioxane systems

The thermal behaviour of the solvates and mixed solvates in the LiCl(MgCl₂, AlCl₃)-water-1,4-dioxane systems was investigated by means of DTA measurements of the melting behaviour and by quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric investigations of the thermal decomposition processes.The compounds melt incongruently. The positions of the melting points and the processes of thermal decomposition confirm the assumption that 1,4-dioxane is bonded in the first coordination sphere in the mixed solvate of lithium, but in the cases of magnesium and aluminium chloride it is bonded via hydrogen-bonds and not directly to the cations. Only for the lithium and magnesium compounds does the decomposition of the anhydrous solvates result in anhydrous chlorides.

Zusammenfassung Das thermische Verhalten der Solvate und Mischsolvate der Systeme LiCl, (MgCl₂, AlCl₃)-Wasser-1,4 Dioxan wurde mit Hilfe von DTA-Messungen zum Schmelzverhalten, und quasi-isothermen und quasi-isobaren Untersuchungen zum Ablauf der thermischen Zersetzung Untersucht. Die Verbindungen schmelzen inkongruent. Die Lage der Schmelzpunkte und der Verlauf der thermischen Zersetzung bekräftigen die Vorstellungen, daß 1,4 Dioxan im Mischsolvat des Lithiums in der ersten Koordinationsphäre direkt am Kation, hingegen bei Magnesium und Aluminium über Wasserstoffbrücken gebunden ist. Die Zersetzung der wasserfreien Solvate führt nur im Fall der Lithium- und Magnesiumverbindungen zu den wasserfreien Chloriden.

Hydrocarbon hydrogenolysis on nickel-tin catalysts

Hydrogenolysis of ethane, n-hexane and cyclohexane has been studied on nickel-kieselguhr catalysts modified by organic and inorganic compounds of tin. Tin additives decrease nickel reactivity with respect to C–C dissociation, which is ascribed to the formation of surface intermetallides on the catalyst.

Investigation of surface phenomena on solid catalysts by simultaneous thermogravimetry and DTA

Thermogravimetry and simultaneous DTA were used to investigate the phenomena of adsorption, desorption and surface reactions on solid catalysts. The measurements were carried out with NaX and X-type ion-exchanged zeolites and silica-alumina gels (Ketjen) treated with sodium hydroxide in the presence of carbon dioxide. On the basis of the quantitative results it is possible to give an interpretation of the surface phenomena and to establish the existence of various active centres on the surfaces of the catalysts. In the case of the adsorption of carbon dioxide on X-type zeolites, the quantity of carbon dioxide adsorbed is much smaller on ion-exchanged zeolites than on NaX.

Zusammenfassung Thermogravimetrie und simultane DTA wurden zur Untersuchung der Adsorptions-, Desorptions-Erscheinungen und Oberflächenreaktionen an festen Katalysatoren eingesetzt. Die Messungen wurden and NaX und Zeolithen des Typs X sowie an Silika-Aluminiumoxidgelen Ketjen durchgeführt, welche mit Natriumhydroxid in Gegenwart von Kohlendioxid behandelt worden waren. Aufgrund der quantitativen Ergebnisse ist es möglich eine Deutung der Oberfiächenerscheinungen zu geben und die Existenz verschiedener aktiver Zentren an der Katalysatorenoberfläche nachzuweisen. Im Falle der Adsorption von Kohlendioxid an Zeolithen des Typs X ist die Menge des adsorbierten Kohlendioxids am Ionenaustauscher viel niedriger als am NaX.

Résumé Application de la TG et de l'ATD simultanées à l'étude des phénomènes d'adsorption, de désorption et de réactions de surface sur des catalyseurs solides. Les mesures ont été effectuées avec des zéolites échangeuses d'ions de type NaX et X ainsi qu'avec des gels Ketjen silice-alumine traités par NaOH en présence de CO₂. Les résultats quantitatifs permettent de donner une interprétation des phénomènes de surface et d'établir l'existence de divers centres actifs à la surface des catalyseurs. Dans le cas de l'adsorption de CO₂ sur les zéolites de type X, la quantité de CO₂ adsorbé est beaucoup plus faible que sur les zéolites de type NaX.

Kinetics and mechanism of the permanganate oxidation of trans-crotonic acid

The kinetics and intermediates of the permanganate oxidation of trans-crotonic acid have been investigated in the pH range of 0.5–5.0 using the stoppedflow technique. The formation of manganese(III) as a short-lived intermediate has been established. The reaction is first order with respect to both MnO ₄ ^– and crotonic acid (crotonate). The resolved rate constants at 25°C are 730 and 410 M^–1 sec^–1 for the acid and the anion, respectively. The reaction mechanism is discussed.

Interaction of oxygen with preadsorbed hydrogen on magnesium oxide studied by temperature-Programmed desorption method

The interaction of oxygen with preadsorbed hydrogen on thermally activated magnesium oxide has been studied by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) method. It was found that oxygen at 450 K reacts with preadsorbed hydrogen and the resulting hydroxylation suppresses the adsorptive capacity of magnesia with respect to oxygen.

Thermal research of montmorillonite synthetized from the oxides SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-CaO

The thermal behaviour of synthetic montmorillonite of relatively simple chemical composition has been studied and interpreted. Montmorillonite was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis at 300° and 8.8 MPa during 165 hours. With the methods of DTA, DTG, TG, X-ray diffraction analysis, infrared spectroscopy and electron microscopy it was proved that the synthetic montmorillonite is a monomineral sample and no differences from natural montmorillonite were observed.

Temperature-programmed reduction. Metal-support interaction on supported monometallic Ru and Cu Catalysts

Ru and Cu samples supported on SiO₂, Al₂O₃ and MgO were studied by the temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) technique. Experiments were carried out both on unreduced impregnated salts and after oxidation of already reduced samples.The TPR profiles were found to be strongly dependent on the support used, indicating different degrees of interaction between the metal and the support, which can be ranked as MgOAl₂O₃>SiO₂. It is suggested that the interaction occurs through the formation of surface complexes difficult to reduce. The decrease in hydrogen consumption observed on the Ru samples with the number of TPR cycles is attributed to the difficulty in oxidizing large Ru particles.

Zusammenfassung Auf SiO₂, Al₂O₃ und MgO aufgebrachte Ru- und Cu-Proben wurden mittels temperaturprogrammierter Reduktion (TPR) untersucht. Experimente wurden sowohl an unreduzierten Salzimprägnierungen als auch nach Oxydation von bereits reduzierten Proben ausgeführt. Die TPR-Profile sind stark vom benutzten Trägen abhängig, was auf unterschiedliche Grade der Wechselwirkung zwischen Metall und Träger hindeutet; die Reihenfolge ist MgOAl₂O₃>SiO₂. Es wird vermutet, daß das Wesen der Wechselwirkung in der Bildung von schwer reduzierbaren Oberflächenkomplexen zu suchen ist. Die bei Ru-Proben mit der Zahl der TPR-Zyklen beobachtete Verminderung des Wasserstoffverbrauchs wird mit der Schwierigkeit, große Ru-Partikel zu oxydieren, in Zusammenhang gebracht.

Retrieval of thermodynamic properties of M(OH)2 (M=Mn,Ni and Cd) phases from hydrothermal phase equilibria of MO-H2O systems

The standard thermodynamic properties of M(OH)₂ (M=Mn, Ni and Cd) solid phases have been retrieved using a graphical approach based on the already reportedP vs. T curves obtained from hydrothermal studies of MO-H₂O systems. This approach avoids the use of heat capacity effects. The values retrieved by this modified approach are in good agreement with the calorimetric values.

Dynamic purity determinations. I. Location of the solidus by nuclear magnetic resonance

The error in purity determinations by differential scanning calorimetry has been studied on two different kinds of systems, metallic and organic, the latter with different types of impurities added. The organic systems have been corrected for solid-solubility error by a nuclear magnetic resonance technique.The impurities chosen for the organic systems were either quite dissimilar to the matrix or similar enough to render solid solution probable. This solid solution leads to deviations from the equation used for dynamic purity determinations. The nuclear magnetic resonance determination of the solidus establishes the proper starting temperature for area summation on a DSC curve.

Zusammenfassung Der Fehler in Reinheitsbestimmungen mittels Differential-Scanning-kalorimetrie wurde an zwei verschiedenartigen Systemen untersucht, metallisch und organisch, wobei zu letzteren verschiedentliche Verunreinigungen zugefügt wurden. Der durch Feststoff-Feststofflöslichkeit verursachte Fehler in den organischen Systemen wurde mittels einer kernmagnetischen Resonanzmethode korrigiert.Die für die organischen Systeme gewählten Verunreinigungen waren entweder sehr verschieden von der Matrix, oder aber genügend ähnlich, um feste Lösungen wahrscheinlich zu machen. Diese festen Lösungen führen zu Abweichungen von der für dynamische Reinheitsbestimmungen angewendeten Gleichung. Die Bestimmung der kernmagnetischen Resonanz des Feststoffs ermöglicht die Bestimmung der richtigen Anfangstemperatur für die Flächen-summierung auf der DSC-Kurve.

Influence of the gas phase on metallic reference electrodes used in work function measurements

Contact potential differences between electrodes of Pt, Au and Ta of different surface finishing were measured by the dynamic condenser method in propylene and oxygen. Propylene is irreversibly adsorbed, thus changing the work function. This renders the electrodes unsuitable as standard electrodes for work function measurements on catalysts in the atmosphere of hydrocarbons, but they may be used in adsorption studies on oxygen.

Thermal and some other properties of the complexes crystallizing from the system Ni(II)-en-[Ni(CN)4]2−-H2O

Seven complex compounds exhibiting the compositions Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄·H₂O (I), Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄ (II),-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (III), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄·2H₂O (IV), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄ (V), Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ · 2.5H₂O (VI) and-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (VII) were prepared from the system Ni-en-[Ni(CN)₄]^2–-H₂O. These compounds were examined by the methods of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry, UV-VIS reflectance spectroscopy, and also by the measurement of magnetic moments. The thermal stability, the stoichiometry of thermal decomposition and the mutual transformations were investigated with a derivatograph. The reactions proceeding according to the following schemes were observed if the system was heated to appropriate temperature: (I)(II)(III)(V)(IV) and (VI)(VII)(III)(V)(IV) Process (VII)(III) represents isomerization. The reversibility of the process (V)(IV) is due to the high hygroscopicity of the anhydrous complex. The changes in structure in the course of the individual processes are discussed.
