Thermal stabilities of copolymers of styrene and acrylic acid and their salts

The thermal stabilities of copolymers of styrene and acrylic acid and their alkali metal salts have studied.The thermal stability properties T_i and T_s, and the kinetic parametersn, E, S andZ were determined and the results are discussed. It was found that the thermal stabilities of the investigated copolymers of styrene and acrylic acid are somewhat lower than that of polystyrene and decrease with increase of the quantity of acrylic acid introduced into the copolymers.The thermal stabilities of the sodium salts of these copolymers are somewhat higher than those of the initial copolymers, and are almost equal to that of polystyrene.The thermal stabilities of the investigated ionomers depend on the nature of the alkali metal introduced into the copolymer.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die thermische Stabilität von Kopolymeren aus Styrol und Acrylsäure bzw. Acrylsäurealkalimetallsalzen untersucht. Die Werte T_i und T_s für die thermische Stabilität sowie die kinetischen Parametern, E,S undZ wurden bestimmt und die Ergebnisse diskutiert. Man fand, daß die thermische Stabilität der untersuchten Kopolymere aus Styrol und Acrylsäure etwas niedriger ist als die von Polystyrol und daß sie mit einer Zunahme des Anteiles an Acrylsäure an den Kopolymeren absinkt. Die thermische Stabilität der Natriumsalze dieser Kopolymere erwies sich als etwas höher als die die ursprünglichen Kopolymere, erreicht aber nur die von Polystyrol. Die thermische Stabilität der untersuchten Ionomere hängt von der Art der in die Kopolymere eingebrachten Alkalimetalle ab.

The method of comparative thermal analysis has been used to determine the thermal stability of polyimides and their model compounds.

Hydration of acetylene on Cd2+ exchanged zeolites

The reaction takes place on Cd-containing Lewis sites, whereas the irreversible adsorption and condensation of product acetaldehyde on acidic OH groups of Cd-X, FAU catalyst results in deactivation. Preadsorbed ammonia moderates the deactivation, because it reacts with acetylene, and pyridine homologues are formed which block the accessible OH groups. Since in divalent cationic forms of clinoptilolite no OH groups are generated, Cd-clinoptilolite proved to be a catalyst of permanent activity.

Effects of tempering time and tempering temperature of caustic mercerization on the spectral and electrical properties of Egyptian cotton fibres

Several samples of Egyptian cotton fabric strips were subjected to various caustic mercerization conditions, varying in temperature and time. On these samples extensive measurements were undertaken, comprising X-ray diffraction, IR absorption spectra and the temperature-dependence of DC-electric conductivity.The phase constitution, % crystallinity, IR band assignment, activation energies for conduction and energy gap were evaluated as a function of caustic mercerization. The results obtained were correlated and discussed in detail, leading to valuable information of use in the cotton fabric strip industries.

Study of the adsorption of n-butylamine on NaHY zeolites by microcalorimetry

The adsorption, of n-butylamine has been studied at 405 K on NaHY zeolites by microcalorimetry. The curves of the variation in the heat of adsorption as a function of the coverage change characteristically with the temperature of activation of the zeolite. From the course of these changes it is possible to establish which part of the curve corresponds to the adsorption of n-butylamine on Brönsted or Lewis acid centers.

Granular activated carbon loaded with aniline,o-nitroaniline oro-nitrophenol, regenerated at relatively low temperature (450° in N₂ atmosphere), shows losses of cyclic adsorption performances (about 5 % per cycle) comparable to those occurring with standard thermal regeneration (950° in controlled atmosphere).

Thermal decomposition of Y,La and light lanthanide complexes of hippuric acid

The conditions of thermal decomposition of the hippurates of Y, La and the light lanthanides from Ce(III) to Gd have been studied. When heated, the Y, Ce(III), Pr and Gd complexes decomposed in two stages, those of La, Sm and Eu in three stages, and that of Nd in four stages, the oxides finally being formed. The complexes lost crystallization water to form anhydrous (Nd) or hydrated salts, and then decomposed to oxides directly (Y, Ce(III), Pr(III) and Gd) or with intermediate formation of Ln₂O₂CO₃ (La, Nd, Sm and Eu). The temperature of oxide formation varied periodically with the ionic potential in the lanthanide series.

Beim Aufheizen zersetzen sich die Komplexe von Y, Ce(III), Pr und Gd in zwei Schritten, die von Sm und Eu in drei Schritten und der von Nd in vier Schritten zu den Oxiden. Die Komplexe verlieren Kristallwasser unter Bildung wasserfreier (Nd) oder hydratisierter Salze und zersetzen sich dann direkt (Y, Ce(III), Pr(III), Gd) oder über Ln₂O₂CO₃ (Ln, Nd, Sm, Eu) zu den Oxiden. Die Temperatur der Oxidbildung verändert sich periodisch mit abnehmenden Ionenpotential in der Lanthanidenreihe.

Effect of pretreatment in benzene hydrogenation on Pt/nylon catalyst

Benzene hydrogenation on Pt/nylon catalyst produced cyclohexene and cyclohexane, in contrast to Pt/SiO₂ on which only cyclohexane was detected. Higher selectivity to cyclohexene was found at higher temperature and after air pretreatment. It is suggested that an oxidized platinum species is responsible for cyclohexene formation.
