From a comparison of the X-ray difractograms for various ZSM-5 zeolites the isomorphous substitution of framework Si⁴⁺ by large cations (Al³⁺, Ga³⁺, Fe³⁺) is suggested to be ordered as contrasted to the statistical substitution by small ones (B³⁺).

X-ray studies of interaction between magnesium chloride and ethyl benzoate, components of the catalyst for propylene polymerization

X-ray studies of the interaction between highly dispersed magnesium dichloride and ethyl benzoate (EB) at different molar ratios EB/MgCl₂, and the effect of their grinding indicate that a new compound of MgCl₂ and EB is formed. Grinding destroys the crystal phase of the new compound, thus increasing the activity and stereospecificity of the catalyst obtained.

Role of palladium additives in CO oxidation over a complex vanadium catalyst

At small concentrations of CO, palladium initiates a radical-chain process. At high CO concentrations CO oxidation occurs only on the surface of the heterogeneous catalyst and the effect of palladium is mainly due to the specific activation of carbon monoxide on the palladium surface.

The measurement of meaningful activation energies

The uncertainty surrounding the significance of the measured kinetic parameters of solid state decomposition reactions is discussed briefly. Some suggestions are made about what precautions should be taken in order to favour the measurement of undistorted results. Some criteria are proposed for deciding whether a measuredE value can be considered to have its usual meaning. The results of a series of experiments aimed at measuring the activation energy of the decomposition of calcium carbonate using a variety of methods, sample sizes and experimental conditions are presented. These results are compared with results found in the literature and it is concluded that it is possible to measure a reproducible value forE and it is tentatively proposed that this value is meaningful in terms of the energy barrier model of chemical reaction kinetics.

Zusammenfassung Die sich auf die Signifikanz gemessener kinetischer Parameter von Zersetzungsreaktionen fester Stoffe beziehende Unsicherheit wird kurz diskutiert. Es werden einige Vorschläge hinsichtlich der Vorkehrungen unterbreitet, die zu treffen sind, um unverfälschte Meßergebnisse zu erhalten. Einige Kriterien werden vorgeschlagen, die geeignet sind zu entscheiden, ob ain gemessenerE-Wert die übliche Bedutung hat. Ergebnisse einer Reihe von Experimenten werden angegeben, die ausgeführt wurden, um die nach verschiedenen Methoden, bei Anwendung unterschiedlicher Probenmengen und unter verschiedenen Versuchsbedingungen für die Aktivierungsenergie der Zersetzung von CaCO₃ erhaltenen Werte zu vergleichen. Es wird gefolgert, daß es möglich ist, den Wert vonE reproduzierbar zu messen, und versuchsweise vorgeschlagen, diesen Wert als sinnvoll für das Energiebarrierenmodell der chemischen Reaktionskinetik anzusehen.

The application of thermoanalytical methods in the investigation of biological substances

The equilibria and thermodynamics of a number of naturally occuring isolated compounds (e.g. proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates) have recently been studied in several laboraties in different temperature ranges, and thermoanalytical methods have been used to study structural changes of biological materials, among them human tissues.In our investigations we succeeded in appling the derivatograph for the assay of glycosaminoglycans and for the characterization of the stability of crosslinked proteins in intact human and animal tissues. By means of this method age-related and pathological changes and repair reactions were studied in various connective and vascular tissues.Other temperature-dependent techniques (DSC, polarizing microscopy) were used successfully in another series of experiments. Alterations in the characteristic order-disorder transition temperatures of human serum lipoproteins could be demonstrated in pathological conditions; the altered physical structure of lipoproteins might give an additional explanation to the assumed mechanism of different metabolic disorders.

Chiral recognition of enantiomeric peptides in water at 25° by calorimetry

The heats of dilution in water of binary and ternary solutions of the two enantiomeric forms ofN-acetylalanineamide have been measured at 25°. The excess enthalpies, expressed as virial expansion series, permit evaluation of the pairwise self and cross enthalpic coefficients. As for the chiral forms of some monosaccharides, the cross coefficient for the interaction between theD andL forms ofN-acetylalanineamide is slightly but significantly different from the corresponding self coefficient. A weak, water-mediated chiral recognition can be assumed to exist between pairs of amide molecules.

Zusammenfassung Die Verdünnungswärmen von binären und ternären wässrigen Lösungen der zwei enantiomeren Formen von N-Acetylalaninamid wurden bei 25 °C gemessen. Die in einer Virialexpansionsreihe entwickelten Überschußenthalpien ermöglichen die Berechnung der self und cross Enthalpiekoeffizientenpaare. Was die optisch aktiven Formen einiger Monosaccharide anbetrifft, so ist der cross Koeffizient für die Wechselwirkung zwischen der D- und L-Form von N-Acetylalaninamid etwas, aber signifikant verschieden von dem entsprechenden self Koeffizienten. Es kann angenommen werden, daß Paare von Amidmolekülen eine schwache, durch Wasser vermittelte Unterscheidungsfähigkeit hinsichtlich der optischen Aktivität zeigen.

Electronic spectral study of the interaction of CoNaX zeolite with C1?C5 hydrocarbons

Interaction of both satured and unsaturated hydrocarbons with tetrahedral Co²⁺ ion complexes lodged in the zeolite skeleton is reported on the basis of diffuse reflectance spectra. While saturated hydrocarbons do not affect the coordination sphere of the Co-complex, the unsaturated hydrocarbons change considerably the distortion of the tetrahedral Co-complex.

Kinetics of perborate oxidation of quinol

The perborate oxidation of quinol in aqueous acetic acid is first order with respect to perborate, zero order with respect to quinol, and first order with respect to H⁺. The oxidation is faster than H₂O₂ oxidation. Breakdown of protonated perboric acid is suggested as the rate-limiting step.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Änderung der Struktur der Söderberg-Anode im Laufe der Elektrolyse mit Hilfe der thermischen und mikroskopischen Analyse untersucht. Die Anode wurde in 10 Teilen von oben bis zu ihrem Unterteil im Elektrolyt aufgeteilt und die Teile separat der Untersuchung unterworfen. Die Ergebnisse gaben ausreichende Informationen über die Bildung des Sekundärkokses und über die Ausbildung der Inhomogenität in der Länge der Anode.

Transformation of the anode structure during the electrolysis process was studied by means of thermal analysis and microscopy. The DTA method was found to be a good complement to traditional microscopic analysis. The autors succeeded in differentiating the formation and development of a secondary coke structure. The secondary coke is formed over half the anode length in the direction of the melt.

Study of the interaction of atomic oxygen and nitrogen with ruthenium by the bond interaction method

The heats of atomically adsorbed oxygen and nitrogen on Ru(0001) and Ru(1010) planes have been calculated by the semiempirical bond interaction method. The calculations show that oxygen is strongly adsorbed on ruthenium, while molecular nitrogen cannot be chemisorbed on ruthenium.
