Infrared studies of CO2(CO)8 adsorption on zeolites Y

Co₂(CO)₈ sublimed onto the surface of HY, CeY, CoY and two dealuminated forms of NaY zeolite is converted at room temperature to Co₄(CO)₁₂ and other surfacebound cobalt carbonyl species. The reaction proceeds in a different way on each of the above zeolites, depending also on their pretreatment.

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.

Catalytic reactions of hydrocarbon with carbon dioxide over metallic catalysts

The catalytic reaction between hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide, e.g. CH₄+ +CO₂2CO+2H₂ and C₆H₆CH₃+CO₂C₆H₆+2CO+H₂, has been investigated over various metallic catalysts under atmospheric pressure. In general, Rh–Al₂O₃ catalyst was found to be excellent in activity and selectivity. The reaction rates were moderately dependent on the pressure of carbon dioxide, whereas it was little influenced by the pressure of hydrocarbon.

Reactivation of Cu-promoted lanthanum phosphate

Cu-promoted lanthanum phosphate is a catalyst for chlorobenzene hydrolysis. A decrease in catalytic activity is observed during reaction. The deactivation is partly due to coke deposition, which is eliminated by periodic regenerations. There is also a deactivation due to the loss of Cu. A method is described to keep constant the Cu content of the catalysts by placing prior to the catalyst bed a layer of copper metal chips.

On the dioximine complexes of transition metals

Twelve new complexes NH₄[Co(DH)₂(SO₃)(amine)]·t H₂O (DH ₂=dimethylglyoxime) have been synthesized and characterized. Their i.r. spectra show the SO₃ to be co-ordinated to the Co atom through the S atom. The thermal decompositions of a series of derivatives of this type have been investigated with a derivatograph. The first process is an endothermic dehydration reaction, occurring in a single stage or in two successive ones. The loss of the crystallization water is followed by another endothermic reaction, without a clear stoichiometry, which is referred to as deamination. At higher temperatures, exothermic pyrolysis processes occur. From the TG curves, kinetic parameters have been derived for the dehydration and deamination reactions.

Zusammenfassung Zwölf neue Komplexe der allgemeinen Formel NH₄[Co(DH)₂(SO₃)(amin)]·t H₂O (DH=Dimethylglyoxim) wurden synthetisiert und charakterisiert. Die IR-Spektren zeigen, daß SO₃ über das S-Atom koordinativ an das Co-Atom gebunden ist. Die thermische Zersetzung einer Reihe von Derivaten dieses Typs wurde mittels eines Derivatographen untersucht. Der erste Prozeß ist die in einem einzigen oder in zwei aufeinander folgenden Schritten verlaufende endotherme Dehydratisierung. Auf die Abgabe des Kristallwassers folgt eine andere endotherme Reaktion unklarer Stöchiometrie, die als Deaminierung bezeichnet wird. Bei höheren Temperaturen verlaufen exotherme Pyrolyseprozesse. Aus den TG-Kurven wurden kinetische Parameter für die Dehydratisierung und die Deaminierung bestimmt.

From the thermal decomposition curves of cadmium(II) complexes with substituted thioureas (methyl-, dimethyl-, ethyl-, diethyl-, butyl-, dibutyl-, phenyl-, diphenyl-, acetyl- and benzoylphenylthiourea), the kinetic parameters of the thermal decompositions of these complexes were determined and a decomposition mechanism was suggested. The following thermal stability sequence is given for the Cd(II) complexes: complexes with alkylthioureas < complexes with phenylthioureas < complexes with acylthioureas.

Methanol-based synthesis of hydrocarbons on bifunctional Y-type zeolites

The directions of methanol conversion on Pt, Pd, Zn, Ni metals and Y zeolites and on bifunctional metal-Y-zeolite catalysts have been studied. The increase of the hydrogenation activity of bifunctional catalysts enhances the rate of methanol conversion and decreases the selectivity of hydrocarbon formation.

Kinetic analysis of thermal dehydration and hydrolysis of MgCl2·6H2O by DTA and TG

The thermal decomposition of MgCl₂·6H₂O (non-dried and partly dried) and the kinetics of the process were studied by DTA, TG, DTG, IR, X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis of Mg and Cl. The reactions which occurred in the course of the thermal analysis were identified as dehydration (in steps), thermal hydrolysis of MgCl₂·H₂O and dehydrochloridization of magnesium hydroxy chlorides. Melting of the phases MgCl₂·6H₂O, MgCl₂·4H₂O and MgCl₂ was also identified in the thermal curves. Thermal weight loss continued up to 800 °C in flowing air or nitrogen, but only up to 700 °C in static air. MgO was the end-product of thermal treatment in both cases.The kinetic parameters of the reaction, the activation energyE, pre-exponential factorA and apparent order of reactionb, were computed by several methods. The activation energy and the apparent reaction order of dehydration were found to increase with decreasing hydration number of the Mg. The dehydrochloridization process had the highest activation energy.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von MgCl₂·6H₂O (nicht und teilweise getrocknet) und die Kinetik dieses Prozesses wurden mittels DTA, TG, DTG, IR, Röntgendiffraktometrie und chemischer Analyse von Mg und Cl untersucht. Die im Verlaufe der thermischen Analyse vor sich gehenden Reaktionen sind Dehydratisierung (in Schritten), thermische Hydrolyse von MgCl₂·H₂O und Chlorwasserstoffaustritt aus Magnesiumhydroxychloriden. Das Schmelzen der Phasen MgCl₂·6H₂O, MgCl₂·4H₂O und MgCl₂ ist in den thermischen Kurven ebenfalls zu erkennen. Im Luft- und Stickstoffstrom erfolgt ein Gewichtsverlust bis 800 °C, in statischer Luftatmosphäre dagegen nur bis 700 °C. MgO war in beiden Fällen Endprodukt der thermischen Behandlung. Die kinetischen Parameter der Reaktion (AktivierungsenergieE, präexponentieller FaktorA, scheinbare Reaktionsordnungb) wurden nach verschiedenen Methoden berechnet. Aktivierungsenergie und scheinbare Reaktionsordnung der Dehydratisierung nehmen mit abnehmendem Hydratationsgrad des Mg zu. Die Chlorwasserstoffabspaltung erfordert die höchste Aktivierungsenergie.

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.

Temperature dependence of the X-ray induced adsorption of oxygen and methane on ZnO

The capacity of ZnO with respect to the photo- and X-ray adsorbed, as well as postadsorbed oxygen is shown to depend on the temperature. It is suggested that this dependence cannot be attributed to either the thermal annealing of the induced sites or the thermal desorption of the adsorbed molecules.

Coadsorption of oxygen and acetylene on a clean iridium surface

The interaction between oxygen and acetylene is investigated at 140T500 K. Information on the reaction products is obtained from XPS and UPS studies of a surface covered with one of the reagents and exposed to the effect of the other. Carbon monoxide is the main product of C₂H₂ oxidation. The presence of adsorbed atomic oxygen is a necessary condition of the catalytic oxidation of C₂H₂ on Ir.

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.
