Kinetic analysis of thermal decomposition of praseodymium(III) nitrate hexahydrate

The kinetics of thermal decomposition of praseodymium(III) nitrate hexahydrate was studied by using isothermal and dynamic thermogravimetric techniques. Kinetic analysis of the isothermal data with respect to various solid-state reaction models showed that the reaction is best described by phase boundary-controlled and random nucleation models. Kinetic analysis of the dynamic TG curves was discussed and a critical comparison was made of two integral methods, that of Coats and Redfern and that of Ozawa. The results showed that the Ozawa method gives a better correlation, and the results are in good agreement with those obtained under isothermal thermogravimetric conditions.

Zusammenfassung Mittels isothermer und dynamischer thermogravimetrischer Methoden wurde die Kinetik der thermischen Zersetzung des Hexahydrates von Praseodymnitrat untersucht. Eine kinetische Auswertung der isothermen Meßdaten unter Anwendung verschiedener Feststoffreaktionsmodelle ergab, daß die Reaktion am besten durch ein phasengrenzenkontrolliertes Randomkeimbildungsmodell beschrieben werden kann. Die kinetische Auswertung der dynamischen TG-Kurven wurde diskutiert und ein kritischer Vergleich zwischen zwei Integriermethoden, der von Coats und Redfern und der von Ozawa, angestellt. Die Betrachtungen ergaben, daß die Methode von Ozawa eine bessere Korrelation liefert und daß die Resultate gut mit denen der isothermen thermogravimetrischen Messungen übereinstimmen.

Sorption of H2, O2 and CO on bimetallic catalysts Pd?Ag/Al2O3 over a wide temperature range

Adsorption of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide on Pd–Ag/Al₂O₃ catalysts of different compositions within the temperature range from 293 to 773 K has been investigated. Adsorption measurements have been carried out by the pulse chromatographic method. The results obtained reflect interactions of the above adsorbates with the alloy surface, strongly enriched in silver atoms, as a result of surface segregation processes.

Light olefin production from CO/H2 over silica supported Fe/Mn/K catalysts derived from a bimetallic carbonyl anion, [Fe2Mn(CO)12]?

Fe/Mn/K catalysts derived from support of the anionic carbonyl, [Fe₂Mn(CO)₁₂]^– on silica were compared with catalysts prepared by aqueous impregnation methods, and found to be more selective for production of C₂–C₄ olefins. Addition of K had little effect, whereas variations in reaction conditions altered selectivity owing to secondary reactions of the alkene products.

The effect of the support preparation technique (solgel and coprecipitation) on the final Pt/ZnAl₂O₄ catalyst is presented. The structural properties of the solids obtained are correlated to the selectivity and activity for isobutane dehydrogenation in H₂ and He reaction media. If a highly dispersed catalyst is suitable, the support has to be prepared by the sol-gel method.

Oxidative coupling of alkylbenzenes (benzene, toluene, o-xylene, durene) is shown to proceed in the presence of palladium salts and heteropolyacids under the action of oxygen with a high yield of diaryls. The addition of mercury salts and variation of the solvent affect the reaction rate and isomer composition of the products.
