Hexadiene formation during decomposition of 2-propanol over Ca?P?O catalysts

Hexadiene formation from 2-propanol was investigated in view of acid-base properties of Ca–P–O catalysts with the Ca/P atomic ratio varying from 1.5 to 5.0. The catalytic activity in hexadiene formation increased up to a maximum at Ca/P=2.0, having almost the same amount of weak acidic sites as weak basic sites, and decreased with futher increase in Ca/P ratio.

Activity of some crystal faces of supported palladium catalysts for benzene hydrogenation

Using known coverages of preadsorbed carbon monoxide as a specific poison on supported polycrystalline Pd, the degree of benzene conversion into cyclohexane was measured and compared with the conversion over a CO-free catalyst surface. Palladium crystal faces adsorbing carbon monoxide in various manners are uniformly active for benzene hydrogenation, which appears to be a structure insensitive reaction.

The thermal decomposition of thaumasite from Mothae kimberlite pipe,Lesotho, Southern Africa

The endothermic decomposition of thaumasite from Mothae which has been investigated by DTA and TG shows a peak temperature of 138–203°, and reaction orders of 0.45–1.00, depending on the heating rate employed. The activation energy of the reaction was found to be about 19 kcal/mole; the enthalpy is 246 cal/g.The decomposition seems to be divided into one reaction withn=0.90, immediately followed by one withn=1.59. The first reaction is attributed to the loss of H₂O, the second one to the (partial) release of OH and CO₂.

Zusammenfassung Die durch DTA und TG überprüfte endothermische Zersetzung von Thaumasit aus Mothae zeigt in Abhängigkeit der angewandten Aufheizgeschwindigkeiten Spitzentemperaturen zwischen 138 und 203° C, sowie Reaktionsordnungen von 0.45 bis 1.00. Die Aktivierungsenergie der Reaktion ergab sich zu 19 Kcal/Mol, die Enthalpie zu 246 cal/g.Die Zersetzung scheint in eine Reaktion vonn=0.90 und eine sofort darauffolgende vonn=1.59 geteilt zu sein. Die erste Reaktion wird dem Verlust von H₂O, die zweite der (teilweisen) Freisetzung von OH und CO₂ zugeschrieben.

Basic condensation of triphenylsilane. II. Kinetics in anhydrous isopropanol and influence of silanol

Condensation of triphenylsilane with isopropanol in presence of isopropoxide has been studied in anhydrous medium and the activation parameters have been measured. Dehydration of the medium has been obtained by means of a pre-reaction of triphenylsilane with the residual water in the solvent. In this medium the reaction is extremely slow, moreover, it is inhibited by silanol whose effect would lower the actual catalyst concentration.

In situ laser thermal analysis of bulk materials

The application of thermal analysis techniques directly to the materials being processed could open up new opportunities in the fields of non-destructive testing and process monitoring on the industrial floor. In this paper, a convergent-thermal-wave technique is proposed for the measurement of thermal diffusivity when access to the material is restricted to one side only. Such a technique permits measurement of the thermal properties of samples of large or unknown thickness, as well as coated or stratified materials. A finite-difference numerical model is used to evaluate the possibilities and the accuracy offered by such a technique, and a laser-based experimental apparatus for the non-contact generation and monitoring of annular thermal waves is described.

Zusammenfassung Die direkte Anwendung thermischer Analysenverfahren auf darzustellende Materialien könnte neue Möglichkeiten auf dem Gebiet der nichtzerstörenden Materialprüfung und der industriellen Prozeßüberwachung bieten. In diesem Artikel wird eine Konvergenzthermowellen-Technik zur Messung des thermischen Diffusionsvermögens vorgeschlagen, die auch dann anwendbar ist, wenn das Material nur von einer Seite her zugänglich ist. Diese Technik ermöglicht die Messung thermischer Eigenschaften von Porben unbekannter Größe oder Dicke sowie die von belegten oder beschichteten Materialien. Ein numerisches endliches Differenz-Modell wird zur Bewertung der durch solch eine Technik gebotenen Möglichkeiten und deren Genauigkeit herangezogen. Eine auf Laser basierende Versuchsapparatur zur Nicht-Kontakt-Erzeugung und Aufzeichnung von ringförmigen thermischen Wellen wird beschrieben.

Thermal decomposition of homo- and copolymers of isobutylene

The thermal properties of polyisobutylene and isobutylene-isoprene copolymers were studied. Thermal curves were interpreted with regard to supplementary data. It was found that the degradation of both homo- and copolymers proceeds to a much higher extent in air than in argon. It follows from the results that peroxide formation plays a significant role in the degradation of this group of polymers.This finding correlates well with the influence of dicumyl peroxide and phenyl--naphthylamine on the thermal properties of the isobutylene polymers investigated in this work.

Zusammenfassung Die thermischen Eigenschaften von Polyisobutylen- und Isobutylen-Isopren-Kopolymeren wurden untersucht. Die thermischen Kurven wurden unter Berücksichtigung ergänzender Angaben gedeutet. Es wurde festgestellt, dass die Zersetzung sowohl von Homoals auch von Kopolymeren in Luft in einem viel grösseren Ausmass verläuft, als in Argon. Aus den Ergebnissen folgt, dass die Peroxidbildung bei der Zersetzung dieser Gruppe von Polymeren eine bedeutende Rolle spielt.Diese Aussage ist in guter Übereinstimmung mit dem Einfluss von Dicumylperoxid und Phenyl- naphthylamin auf die thermischen Eigenschaften der untersuchten Isobutylenpolymere.

On a établi que la dégradation tant des homoque des copolymères s'effectue d'une manière beaucoup plus importante dans l'air que dans l'argon. Nos résultats montrent que la formation du peroxyde joue un rôle important sur la dégradation de ce groupe de polymères.Cette conclusion est en bon accord avec l'influence du peroxyde de dicumyle et de la phényl-naphtylamine sur les propriétés thermiques des polymères d'isobutylène étudiés dans notre travail.
