Reactions of butane and isobutane to CO and CO2 catalyzed by iron oxide treated with sulfate ion

Catalysts which were obtained by exposing Fe(OH)₃ and Fe₂O₃ prior to the crystallization to 0.5 N H₂SO₄ and then calcining in air at 500 °C were highly active for oxidations of butane and isobutane to CO and CO₂ below 300 °C, while iron oxides prepared without the sulfate treatment were completely inactive.

Thermogravimetry of copper and copper oxides (Cu2O-CuO)

The thermogravimetry of mixtures of metallic copper and copper oxides was studied. The experiments were performed by heating the samples in air to 700–800° to transform all the components to copper(II) oxide, and continuing the heating in nitrogen to 1050–1100° when the dissociation of copper(II) oxide to copper(I) oxide is complete. The identification of the components and their quantitative determination were carried out by determining the shape, size, and ratio of the segments of the curves obtained during the heating. The method can be used for quantitative analysis of mixtures of copper and/or copper oxides.

Zusammenfassung Gemische von metallischem Kupfer und Kupferoxiden wurden thermogravimetrisch untersucht. Zur Überführung aller Komponenten in Kupfer(II)-oxid erhitzte man sie in Luft auf 700–800°, um daraufhin bis zur vollständigen Dissoziation des Kupfer-(II)-oxids zu Kupfer(I)-oxid unter Stickstoff die Temperatur bis auf 1050–1100° zu steigern. Die Identifizierung der Komponenten und ihre quantitative Bestimmung erfolgten durch die Form, Größe und die Verhältnisse der verschiedenen Abschnitte der erhaltenen Kurven. Diese Methode ist zur quantitativen Bestimmung von Gemischen aus Kupfer und Kupferoxid sowie von Kupferoxiden geeignet.

The kinetics of Ln2O3 Hydration under mild conditions

The kinetics of Ln₂O₃ hydration (Ln=Sm, Ho, Yb, Lu) have been studied at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, as have the influence of the activation temperature and the method of preparation of the oxides.The best correlation coefficients are obtained for a diffusion mechanism. If a structural relationship between the C-Ln₂O₃ and their precursors is considered, the possibility arises of the existence of defect planes in the oxides prepared from the hydroxide and carbonate. This facilitates the hydration process through a diffusion mechanism in the case of the rare earth sesquioxides prepared from the above precursors.

Zusammenfassung Die Kinetik der Hydratisierung von Ln₂O₃ (Ln=Sm, Ho, Yb, Lu) wurde bei Raumtemperatur und atmosphärischem Druck bezüglich des Einflusses der Aktivierungstemperatur und der Art der Darstellung der Oxide untersucht. Die besten Korrelationskoeffizienten werden für einen Diffusionsmechanismus erhalten. Wenn die strukturelle Beziehung zwischen den C-Ln₂O₃ in Betracht gezogen wird, so ergibt sich die Möglichkeit der Existenz von defekten Gitterebenen in den aus Hydroxiden und Carbonaten hergestellten Oxiden. Dies erleichtert den Hydratisierungsprozeß durch einen Diffusionsmechanismus im Falle von aus den oben genannten Vorstufen hergestellten Sesquioxiden der Seltenen Erdmetalle.

Influence of nucleating agents on crystallization of polypropylene

The effect of talc as an artificial nucleating agent in different concentrations on the crystallization of polypropylene (PP) has been studied. It is considered that the induction time should be taken into account in the Avrami evaluation of isothermal crystallization. From a study of nucleated PP samples prepared in different ways, it has been proved that the nucleating effect of talc slightly decreases with increasing time spent by the sample in the state of the polymer melt. It has been shown that crystallization of non-nucleated polypropylene strongly depends on the material of the sample pan. It has been established that dilatometry cannot be used to study the isothermal crystallization of nucleated polypropylene, since microcracks appear in the sample, partly compensating the volume decrease due to the crystallization process.

Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung von in unterschiedlichen Konzentrationen als künstliches Keimbildungsmittel angewandtem Talk auf die Kristallisation von Polypropylen wurde untersucht. Bei der Auswertung der isothermen Kristallisation nach Avrami ist die Induktionszeit in Betracht zu ziehen. Bei der Untersuchung von auf verschiedene Weise hergestellten Polypropylenproben wurde festgestellt, dass die keimbildende Wirkung von Talk desto geringer ist, je länger sich die polymere Probe im geschmolzenen Zustand befand. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Kristallisation von keimbilden den Mitteln nicht ausgesetztem Polypropylen stark vom Material des Probengefässes abhängt. Es wurde festgestellt, dass die Dilatometrie nicht zur Untersuchung der isothermen Kristallisatior von mit keimbildenden Mitteln versetztem Polypropylen geeignet ist, da in der Probe Mikrokrack Produkte auftreten, die die durch den Kristallisationsprozess verursachte Abnahme des Volumens teilweise kompensieren.

The system of differential equations by Feistel and Ebeling has been generalized. Some new formal kinetic reactions with two internal components, which may exhibit limit cycle behavior have been studied. Based upon the numerical integration of the deterministic models of these reactions the oscillatory character of the systems has been confirmed.

Kinetic and mechanistic studies on the oxidation of arginine and histidine by chloramine-T in hydrochloric acid medium

The oxidation of amino acids by chloramine-T (CAT) in HCl medium at 30°C indicates simultaneous catalysis by H⁺ and Cl^– ions in the HCl concentration range of 0.04–0.12 M. The reaction is first order with respect to concentrations [CAT], [H⁺] and [arginine], but zero order with respect to [histidine]. The rate depends also on Cl^– concentration following 0.7th order. At HCl concentrations >0.12 M, the rate equation is:w=k[CAT] [amino acid]^0.6 and is independent of the [Cl^–]. A suitable mechanism has been suggested.

Neighboring general acid participation in thiolester aminolysis in an aprotic solvent

The kinetics of n-butylaminolysis of acyl-substituted phenyl tiolbenzoates in acetonitrile at 25°C was studied. From the second order rate constants a Hammett rho value of 1.45 was obtained. The results indicate a proinounced neighboring group effect in the reaction of phenyl thiolsalicylate, providing the first kinetic evidence for intramolecular general acid participation by a hydroxy function in an aprotic solvent.
