Thermo-oxidative reactions of Nigerian oil sand bitumen

The thermal behavior of the Nigerian oil sand bitumen in an oxidizing environment was studied using non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). This condition can occur during in situ thermal recovery. The kinetics of the reactions was also determined by Arrhenius plot method.Three regions of weight loss corresponding to low-temperature oxidation, fuel deposition and high temperature oxidation were identified. Increasing the heating rate caused a shift in the reaction regions and peak temperatures to higher temperatures. No effect of gas flow rate was observed on the reactions. The oil sands have lower peak temperatures and activation energies compared with their corresponding bitumen extracts, suggesting a catalytic effect of sand on the reactions. The DTA revealed the exothermic nature of the reactions. The exothermicity increased with increasing heating rate.The results of this study showed that the heating rate and the presence of sand have significant effect on the thermo-oxidative reactions of the bitumen.

Reaction of 4-amino-4′-methoxydiphenylamine oxidation in surfactant solutions

The kinetics of noncatalytic and catalytic oxidation reactions of 4-amino-4′-methoxydiphenylamine with different oxidants in aqueous solutions and in the presence of surfactants was studied. The catalytic activity of iridium(IV) in this reaction in weakly acidic solutions (pH = 3) was estimated. The dependences of the rates of noncatalytic and catalytic processes on the component concentrations in the reaction mixture, the acidity of solutions, and their temperature were determined. A method for the catalimetric determination of iridium(IV) was proposed and verified against model mixtures.     

Kinetics of crude oil combustion

In this research, thermal characterization and kinetics of Karakus crude oil in the presence of limestone matrix is investigated. Thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) is used to characterize the crude oil in the temperature range of 20-900°C, at 10°C min ^-1 heating rate using air flow rate of 20 mL min ^-1. In combustion with air, three distinct reaction regions were identified known as low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD) and high temperature oxidation (HTO). Five different kinetic methods used to analyze the TG/DTG data to identify reaction parameters as activation energy and Arrhenius constant. On the other hand different f(α) models from literature were also applied to make comparison. It was observed that high temperature oxidation temperature (HTO) activation energy of Karakus crude oil is varied between 54.1 and 86.1 kJ mol ^-1, while low temperature oxidation temperature (LTO) is varied between 6.9 and 8.9 kJ mol ^-1.     

In situ chemical oxidation of aniline by persulfate with iron(Ⅱ) activation at ambient temperature

<正>The kinetics of aniline degradation by persulfate processes with iron(Ⅱ) activation at ambient temperature was investigated in this study.With iron(Ⅱ) as initiator,the oxidation reactions were found to follow a biphasic rate phenomenon:a rapid transformation followed by a slow but sustained oxidation process.In the first 30 s,the reaction mainly relies on the persulfate-Fe~(2+) reaction in which aniline is oxidized rapidly.After 30 s,the aniline was still oxidized but the rate of reaction tended to be slower and the rates were clearly linear-proportional.After the initial fast oxidation,the reactions appeared to follow a pseudo-first-order model.     

Light crude oil combustion in the presence of limestone matrix

In this study the combustion characteristics of crude oils (Karakuę and Beykan) in the presence of a limestone matrix were determined using the thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). Experiments were performed at a heating rate of 10°C min^-1, whereas the air flow rate was kept constant at 10 L h^-1 in the temperature range of 20-900°C. In combustion with air, three distinct reaction regions were identified in all crude oil/limestone mixtures studied known as low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD) and high temperature oxidation (HTO). The individual activation energies for each reaction region may be attributed to different reaction mechanisms, but they do not give any indication of the contribution of each region to the overall reactivity of the crude oils. Depending on the characteristics, the mean activation energy of samples varied between 50.3 and 55.8 kJ mol^-1.

Catalytic oxidative degradation of polyethylene crystals

Linear polyethylene crystals have been degraded with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst composed of cobaltous and bromide ions at temperatures between 60 and 130°. The number of carbonyl groups introduced into polyethylene increases as the oxidation temperature is raised. Infra-red spectroscopy and molecular weight evidence suggests that ketone groups are formed by a non-chain scission reaction, whereas aldehyde and carboxylic acid groups result from chain scission reactions. Molecular weight distributions of the degradation products show that reactions occur selectively in the amorphous regions at the crystal surfaces, when oxidations are performed below 110°. At higher temperatures, the chains are degraded randomly. The carbonyl groups introduced into polyethylene were oxidized to carboxylic acid groups with concentrated (～ 70 per cent) nitric acid. The results demonstrate that this two-stage process yields a polydisperse long-chain linear paraffin with carboxylic acid end-groups, when the catalytic oxidations are performed between 115 and 130°.

Surface Chemistry on Small Ruthenium Nanoparticles: Evidence for Site Selective Reactions and Influence of Ligands

The reactivity of two classes of ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru NPs) of small size, either sterically stabilized by a polymer (polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP) or electronically stabilized by a ligand (bisdiphenylphosphinobutane, dppb) was tested towards standard reactions, namely CO oxidation, CO₂ reduction and styrene hydrogenation. The aim of the work was to identify the sites of reactivity on the nanoparticles and to study how the presence of ancillary ligands can influence the course of these catalytic reactions by using NMR and IR spectroscopies. It was found that CO oxidation proceeds at room temperature (RT) on Ru NPs but that the system deactivates rapidly in the absence of ligands because of the formation of RuO₂. In the presence of ligands, the reaction involves exclusively the bridging CO groups and no bulk oxidation is observed at RT under catalytic conditions. The reverse reaction, CO₂ reduction, is achieved at 120 °C in the presence of H₂ and leads to CO, which coordinates exclusively in a bridging mode, hence evidencing the competition between hydrides and CO for coordination on Ru NPs. The effect of ligands localized on the surface is also evidenced in catalytic reactions. Thus, styrene is slowly hydrogenated at RT by the two systems Ru/PVP and Ru/dppb, first into ethylbenzene and then into ethylcyclohexane. Selectively poisoning the nanoparticles with bridging CO groups leads to catalysts that are only able to reduce the vinyl group of styrene whereas a full poisoning with both terminal and bridging CO groups leads to inactive catalysts. These results are interpreted in terms of location of the ligands on the particles surface, and evidence site selectivity for both CO oxidation and arene hydrogenation.     

The Catalytic Oxidation of Hydrogen on Nickel Oxides

The catalytic oxidation of hydrogen on highly-dispersed and sintered nickel oxides has been studied by a static method and the existence of two different kinetic rcgions established. Between 0 and 100°C the initial catalytic activity was not ionary and a strong poisoning effect of the reaction product was observed at all temperatnres up to 250°C. The activation energy of the reaction based on the initial reaction rates on freshly- outgassed oxide surfaces had a low value of 1–2 kcal. mole^?1 with both preparations. Between 250 and 350°C stationary catalytic activity was observed and the activation energy of the reaction was significantly higher, 12–14 kcal . mole^?1. The change of the activation energy is discussed in terms of the participation in the reaction of oxygen species in the catalyst surface layer which have different reactivities in the two temperature regions. A close analogy is noted between the carbon monoxide and hydrogen oxidation reactions on nickel oxide and a compensation effect is illustrated for a series of oxidation reactions on the oxide.     

Characterisation of the oxidation products of pyrite by Thermogravimetric and Evolved Gas analysis

Museum specimens of pyrite are known to undergo oxidation even during storage. Characterisation of the oxidation products is however not always simple due to amorphous character and varying degrees of hydration of the oxidation products. This paper presents an alternative approach to the characterisation of oxidation products by identifying their presence from their characteristic thermal decomposition processes using thermogravimetric and evolved gas analysis. Four pyrite specimens were characterised with varying degrees of oxidation. Iron(II) and iron(III) sulphates were also characterised for comparative purposes. The degradation products were observed to correlate well with the presence of iron(II) sulphate even though there was found to be some discrepancy in the higher temperature decomposition reactions.

Effect of different clay concentrations on crude oil combustion kinetics by thermogravimetry

The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of different clay composition and concentrations on the thermal behaviour and kinetics of heavy crude oil in limestone matrix by thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). In TG/DTG experiments, three distinct reaction regions were identified in all of the crude oil + limestone mixture known as low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD) and high temperature oxidation (HTO) respectively. Addition of clay to porous matrix significantly affected the reaction regions. Significant reduction of activation energy due to addition of clay to crude oil indicates the catalytic effect of clay on crude oil combustion.     

Reaction of trifluoromethanesulfonamide with heterodienes under oxidation conditions

Reactions of trifluoromethanesulfonamide with divinyl sulfone, divinyl sulfoxide, divinyl sulfide, diphenyl sulfide, vinyl allyl and diallyl ethers was investigated in the presence of oxidation system t-BuOCl + NaI. The reaction with divinyl sulfone afforded a product of 1,5-heterocyclization, 2,6-diiodo-4-[(trifluoromethyl) sulfonyl]thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide. The same product was obtained in the reaction with divinyl sulfoxide apparently due to its preliminary oxidation to sulfone. In reactions with divinyl sulfide and unsaturated ethers only the oxidation of substrates was observed accompanied with strong tarring; the products of a reaction with trifluoromethanesulfonamide were absent. With diphenyl sulfide a product was formed resulting from the oxidation at the sulfur atom [S(II) → S(IV)], N-(diphenyl-λ⁴-sulfanylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide.

Copper(II)-catalyzed room temperature aerobic oxidation of hydroxamic acids and hydrazides to acyl-nitroso and azo intermediates, and their Diels-Alder trapping

CuCl(2), in the presence of a 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline ligand, is an effective catalyst for the room temperature, aerobic oxidation of hydroxamic acids and hydrazides, to acyl-nitroso and azo dienophiles respectively, which are efficiently trapped in situ via both inter- and intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder reactions with dienes. Both inter- and intramolecular variants of the Diels-Alder reaction are suitable under the reaction conditions using a variety of solvents. Under the same conditions, an acyl hydrazide was also oxidized to give an acyl-azo dienophile which was trapped intramolecularly by a diene.
