Influence of the particle size of metal in the hydrogenolysis of n-butane on carbon supported iron catalysts

The hydrogenolysis of n-butane on different carbon supported iron catalysts has been studied. Changes in activity, product distribution, apparent activation energy and frequency factor were found to be a function of particle size. This behavior is explained as a change in the reaction mechanism, which also leads to the isomerization of n-butane in the case of catalysts with higher dispersity.

Combined use of calorimetric and adsorption kinetic methods for the study of the mechanisms of catalytic processes

Consideration is given to the main results obtained in studies based on calorimetric methods at high temperatures (above room temperature) of the following aspects of the mechanisms of catalytic and sorption processes on powder catalysts: 1) relation between chemisorption and dissolution of gases in the subsurface layers of solids; 2) influence of surface-adsorbed substance on the adsorption of another substance from the gas phase; 3) nature of intermediate species formed during catalytic processes on the catalyst surface. Results are presented of the application of calorimetric methods to measuring the enthalpy change of polymerization in a dry system: gaseous monomer — solid catalyst — solid polymer, and to investigating the mechanisms of such processes. Anomalous solubility of gases in the subsurface layers of solids has been shown to be significant for the mechanism of nucleation during phase transitions in solids.

Zusamenfassung Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der auf kalorimetrischen Methoden bei hohen Temperaturen (über Raumtemperatur) beruhenden Untersuchungen der Mechanismen von katalytischen und Sorptionsprozessen an pulverförmigen Katalysatoren werden behandelt: 1) Zusammenhang zwischen Chemisorption und Lösung von Gasen in den Schichten von Festkörpern unterhalb der Oberfläche; 2) Einfluß der an der Oberfläche adsorbierten Substanz auf die Adsorption einer anderen Substanz aus der Gasphase; 3) Beschaffenheit der während des katalytischen Vorgangs an der Katalysator-Oberfläche entstandenen Intermediärteilchen.Ergebnisse der Anwendung der kalorimetrischen Methode zur Messung der Enthalpie-Änderungen der Polymerisation im trockenen System: gasförmiges Monomer — fester Katalysator — festes Polymer und zur Untersuchung der Mechanismen solcher Vorgänge werden mitgeteilt. Es wurde gezeigt, daß die anomale Löslichkeit von Gasen in den Schichten unterhalb der Oberfläche von Festkörpern für den Mechanismus der Keimbildung während des Phasenüberganges in Festkörpern von Bedeutung ist.

Résumé On examine les principaux résultats obtenus lors des études effectuées à l'aide de méthodes calorimétriques à hautes températures (au-dessus de la température ambiante), sous les aspects suivants du mécanisme des réactions catalytiques et de Sorption sur des catalyseurs en poudre: 1) relation entre la chimisorption et la dissolution des gaz dans les sous-couches superficielles des solides, 2) influence d'une substance adsorbée en surface sur l'adsorption d'une autre substance de la phase gazeuse, 3) nature des particules intermédiaires formées lors de la réaction catalytique à la surface du catalyseur. Les résultats de l'application de la méthode calorimétrique à la mesure des variations d'enthalpie au cours de la polymérisation en système «sec» sont présentés: monomère gazeux — catalyseur solide — polymère solide, ainsi que ceux relatifs à l'étude du mécanisme de ces réactions. On montre que la solubilité anormale des gaz dans les sous-couches superficielles des solides joue un rôle important sur le mécanisme de la nucléation lors des transitions de phases dans les solides.

Formaldehyde base catalysis by NaX zeolite

Reactions of formaldehyde to produce formose sugars at 95°C in aqueous solutions were studied over a trickle bed of NaX Zeolite spheres. When effluent pH was in the range of 5 to 7, a rapid irreversible catalyst deactivation from an initial 50% conversion occurred. The catalyst was destroyed in less than five hours by formic acid produced by the undesired Cannizzaro reaction. Incorporation of 0.86 mol NaOH/mol HCHO at 1.21 LHSV into the combined feed to the reactor maintained the effluent pH in the range of 10 to 12. Conversion of HCHO fell only from 95 to 92% in three hours, and selectively to Cannizzaro reaction was reduced to approximately 25%.

Acylation was carried out by using two kinds of solid superacid catalyst, SO ₄ ^2– /ZrO₂ and Nafion-H. The reaction was expressed by reversible first-second order kinetics. The SO ₄ ^2– /ZrO₂ catalyst was superior to Nafion-H and could be reactivated by treating with sulfuric acid.

ESR studies of Ziegler type catalytic systems in the presence of CO

ESR studies of the interaction between Co(C₅H₇O₂)₂ and Al(C₂H₅)₃ in presence of CO reveal the formation of paramagnetic tri- and tetra-nuclear carbonyl compounds and the consecutive formation of complexes including one, two and three cobalt atoms. Al(C₂H₅)₃ decomposition is suggested to take place on the reduced transition metal to form Co–Al clusters. Structures for the paramagnetic heteronuclear clusters is proposed.

The relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The paper presents the results of a study of M ₂ ^I M ^II(SO₄)₂ compounds withM ^I= K, Rb, Cs or Tl, andM ^II=Cu or Ni, in the interval from room temperature to the melting temperature. All the compounds studied show endo- or exothermic excursions in their DTA curves, corresponding to phase transitions connected with colour changes of the compounds. For M ₂ ^I Cu(SO₄)₂, whereM ^I is K or Tl, several modifications could be prepared at laboratory temperature, probably distortion isomers. No modifications of this type could be prepared, however, for M ₂ ^I Ni(SO₄)₂ compounds.

Kinetic studies of thiolane synthesis from tetrahydrofurane and H2S

Kinetic studies of tetrahydrofuran reaction with H₂S were carried out in a flow-circulation reactor. Presumably, the reaction takes place through dissociative chemisorption of reactants and the interaction of surface structures formed to produce thiolane and water. A kinetic equation that agrees with the suggested mechanism has been derived.

Thermal stability of poly(β-bromostyrene) and copolymers of β-bromostyrene with methyl methacrylate

The thermal stabilities of poly(-bromostyrene), poly-(methyl methacrylate) homopolymers and copolymers of-bromostyrene-methyl methacrylate covering the entire composition range were studied using TG analysis. At each extreme of the composition range, incorporation of comonomer units results in a copolymer more stable than the brominated homopolymer. Maximum stability occurs for compositions of approximately 62 mole percent-bromostyrene. The formation of the anhydride structure among the degradation products leads to the stability of the copolymers.

An beiden Enden des Zusammensetzungsbereichs führt der Einbau von Komonomereinheiten zu einem Kopolymer, das stabiler als das bromierte Homopolymer ist. Maximale Stabilität wird bei einem Gehalt von etwa 62 Mol-%-Bromstyrol erreicht. Die Bildung der Anhydridstruktur führt zur Stabilität des Kopolymers.

Catalytic performance in hydrodesulfurization of thiophene and ir investigation of Co and no adsorption over Co?Mo/Al2O3 and Ru?Co?Mo/Al2O3 catalysts

A new Ru–Co–Mo/Al₂O₃ catalyst has been prepared by impregnation of Ru salt as a secondary promoter onto Co–Mo/Al₂O₃ catalyst, and it was found that the Ru–Co–Mo/Al₂O₃ exhibited higher activity than Co–Mo/Al₂O₃ in hydrodesulfurization of thiophene to hydrocarbons. Ir studies on Ru–Co–Mo/Al₂O₃ revealed that the Co and NO adspecies increased significantly in intesnities and displayed a bathochromic shift in frequencies, as compared with Co–Mo/Al₂O₃.

Competitive hydrogenation of binary olefin mixtures in the liquid phase

The effect of a series of alcohol solvents on the selectivity of the competitive catalytic hydrogenation of 1-hexene and 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol on Pt/SiO₂ catalyst has been investigated. With increasing molecular mass of the alcohol, the rate of hydrogenation of 1-hexene becomes relatively preferred; the same was observed also with branched alcohols compared with those having a straight chain. Systems were found in which the degree of coating of the platinum catalyst with copper affected (or did not affect) the selectivity of the competitive hydrogenation of pairs of olefinic substrates.
