The role of excited states in the photolysis of n-butyraldehyde, II. Intersystem crossing quantum yields

Singlet triplet intersystem crossing quantum yields were determined for n-butyraldehyde, using the photosensitized cis-trans isomerization of piperylene to monitor the process. At room temperature and 313 nm, 0.58±0.05 and 0.72±0.05 were obtained for the triplet yield in the vapor phase and in isooctane, respectively.

Modification of preparation technique for highly dispersed Ni/γ?Al2O3 catalysts

Highly dispersed Ni/–Al₂O₃ catalysts have been prepared by the method of double impregnation. The application of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (H₄Y) as a chelating agent for activation of the -Al₂O₃ support enables us to prepare highly dispersed Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts. The use of this chelating agent according to the described modification of the impregnation technique results in the highest dispersity of the metal component in the catalysts obtained.

Temperature-programmed desorption study of acetone-2-14C interaction with CuO surface

Temperature-programmed desorption study has revealed that there exist three strong adsorption forms of acetone-2-¹⁴C on CuO desorbed from the surface as CO₂. Their formation is ascribed to the fragmentation features of acetone molecules interacting with CuO and partly takes place in the course of programmed heating due to the conversion of weak adsorption forms.

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.

Study of thermal stabilities of some heat transfer oils

This paper discusses the thermal behaviour and stabilities of some heat transfer fluids. These included four solvent-refined mineral oils, two aromatic extracts and two synthetic oils. Results of this thermoanalytical investigation, which simulated different atmospheric conditions, showed the synthetic oils to have higher thermal stabilities than those of the other oils.The refined mineral oils exhibited higher thermal stabilities than those of the aromatic extracts when studied under a static air atmosphere. This behaviour was reversed when the experiment was performed under a confined atmosphere of air.These observations are attributed mainly to the environmental changes and also to the compositions of these products.

Zusammenfassung Das thermische Verhalten und die Stabilität einiger Wärmeübertragungsflüssigkeiten werden diskutiert. Die Untersuchung erstreckt sich auf vier mit Lösungsmittel raffinierte Mineralöle, zwei Aromatenextrakte und zwei synthetische Öle. Aus den Ergebnissen thermoanalytischer Untersuchungen, bei denen verschiedene atmosphärische Bedingungen simuliert wurden, folgt, daß die synthetischen Öle ein höhere thermische Stabilität als die anderen Öle aufweisen. In statischer Luftatmosphäre ist die thermische Stabilität der raffinierten Mineralöle höher als die der Aromatenextrakte. In einer limitierten Luftatmosphäre kehrt sich dagegen dieses Verhalten um. Diese Beobachtungen werden hauptsächlich Veränderungen in der Umgebung und der Zusammensetzung dieser Produkte zugeschrieben.

Application of emissionless infrared diffuse reflectance spectrometry for following reactions of adsorbed alcohols on an alumina catalyst

IR spectra of adsorbed alcohols on alumina were measured under the reaction conditions at elevated temperatures. The transient response of IR absorption intensity indicates that alkoxides are reactive adsorbed species but carboxylates are not. The rate constants of surface reactions were calculated from the transient response.

Kinetics of cerium(IV) oxidation of propionic acid in perchloric acid: Role of solvent

The oxidation rate of propionic acid (PROA) by cerium(IV) in aqueous perchloric acid (1.0–6.0 mol/dm³) is proportional to the PROA concentration, the total order of the reaction being two. It was found that the rate is related to the values of Hammett's acidity function (H₀) in agreement with both Zucker-Hammett's hypothesis and Bunnett-Olsen's criterion, the water acting as a proton transfer agent. A mechanism consistent with the findings is proposed.

Dehydration-dehydrogenation of 1- and 2-butanols on lanthanide oxide catalysts

Catalytic decomposition of 1- and 2-butanols on the rare earth oxides CeO₂, Pr₆O₁₁, and Me₂O₃ (Me=La, Sm, Eu, Dy, Ho and Yb) has been studied. Dehydration-dehydrogenation selectivity of these oxides was analyzed from the point of view of the fractional selectivity (S_F). For the decomposition of 2-butanol and the product distribution on the lanthanide oxides, preferential orientation to Hofmann olefin as well as a cis/trans ratio slightly higher than that of the equilibrium value is observed.

Degradation of rocket insulator at high temperature

The degradation of a rocket insulator compound based on ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) containing asbestor, cork and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) as fillers has been studied at high temperature (up to 600°) by using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry (TG). The changes in physical properties on high-temperature aging are also reported. EPDM gum vulcanizates involving different types of diene, namely ethylidene norbornene (ENB), dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and 1,4-hexadiene (HD), were used. In each case, the kinetic parameters for degradation have been evaluated. From these data, the lifetime of the rocket insulator compound has been found.

Deamination of butylamines on the surface of acidic oxide catalysts

Studies of the deamination of tert-, sec- and n-butylamines on several silicate and phosphate catalysts at 543–704 K have revealed that the reaction proceeds only with the participation of protonic cneters, its rate is independent of the strength of acidic centers and affected only by the amine structure. Butylammonium ion conversion is suggested to be the rate-determining step.

Thermogravimetric and kinetic study of a clodronic acid complex formed with sodium

Thermal stability of the clodronic acid complex formed with sodium (Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂ ·4H₂O) was studied using both dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric analyses as well as mass spectra. The thermal decomposition has two stages: dehydration and loss of two molecules of hydrogen chloride. Using the isothermal TG data the first step was found to be a phase-boundary reaction while the second step obviously cannot be described with just one reaction mechanism. The final residue of the dynamic TG analyses above 810 K was found to be sodium metaphosphate.

Zusammenfassung Sowohl mittels dynamischer und thermogravimetrischer Untersuchungen als auch and Hand von Massenspektren wurde die thermische Stabilität des mit Natrium gebildeten Säurekomplexes Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂·4H₂O untersucht. Die thermische Zersetzung vollzieht sich in zwei Schritten: Dehydratation und Verlust von zwei Molekülen HCl. Auf Grund der isothermen TG Angaben ist der erste Schritt eine Phasengrenzreaktion, während der zweite Schritt mit einem einzigen Reaktionsmechanismus nicht eindeutig beschrieben werden kann. Das Endprodukt der DTG Analyse oberhalb 810 K erwies sich als Natriummethaphosphat.

Kinetics of oxidation of acrolein on a vanadium-molybdenum oxide catalyst

A kinetic study has shown that, in the range of low conversions, the reaction rate depends only on the partial pressure of oxygen. Comparison of the oxidation of acrolein and I-deuteroacrolein suggests that the splitting of the H–CO bond is not rate-limiting.
