Comparative kinetic and thermodynamic study on the chlorination of V2O5 with CCl4, COCl2 and Cl2

The chlorination kinetics of pure vanadia was studied via isothermal thermogravimetric measurements, with CCl₄, CoCl₂ and Cl₂ as chlorinating agents. At temperatures where chemical control was predominant, apparent activation energies of 77, 48 and 126 kJ: mol^–1 were obtained for chlorination by CCl₄, COCl₄ and Cl₂, respectively. For interpretation of the conversion vs. time curves in the whole conversion range, a non-uniform particle size distribution was assumed, where the reacting solid phase was considered to be composed of thin plates of different thicknesses. With this model, a fairly good correspondence was obtained between the measured and calculated kinetic curves. Selected thermodynamic calculation data on the V₂O₅ + CCl₄, V₂O₅ + COCl₂ and V₂O₅ + Cl₂ systems are presented.

Zusammenfassung Mittels isothermen Thermogravimetriemessungen wurde die Kinetik der Chlorierung von reinem Vanadiumoxid mit CCl₄, COCl₂ und Cl₂ als Chlorierungsmittel untersucht. Bei Temperaturen mit vorherrschender chemischer Kontrolle wurde für die Chlorierung mit CCl₄, COCl₂ bzw. Cl₂ Bruttoaktivierungsenergien von 77, 48 bzw. 126 kJ/mol erhalten. Zur Interpretation der Konversion-Zeit-Diagramme im gesamten Conversionsbereich wurde eine nichteinheitliche Teilchengrösseverteilung angenommen, namentlich den Bestand der reagierenden Festphase aus dünnen Plättchen unterschiedlicher Dicke. Mit diesem Modell konnte eine recht gute Übereinstimmung zwischen errechneten und ermittelten kinetischen Kurven erhalten werden. Einige thermodynamische Rechenbeispiele für die Systeme V₂O₅ + CCl₄, V₂O₅ + COCl₂ und V₂O₅+Cl₂ wurden gegeben.

Catalytic properties of cobalt and manganese complexes with macromolecular ligands in the liquid-phase oxidation of ethylbenzene

The selective catalytic effect of transition metal complexes (in particular cobalt and manganese) with polymeric ligands is shown on the example of the liquid-phase oxidation of ethylbenzene. The catalytic activity depends on both the structure of the polymeric matrix and the nature of metal.

Calculation of the mass transfer coefficient with a chemical reaction in a gas-liquid system

A solution of the problem of mass transfer in a turbulent boundary layer has been obtained with a first-order chemical reaction occurring in the liquid phase. The dependence of the enhancement factor for absorption and of the mass transfer coefficient on the model parameters can be used for building up a hierarchic model of the gas-liquid reactor.

Combination and disproportionation of methyl and 2-propyl radicals with 1,1,2-trimethylallyl radicals

The combinations and disproportionations of the CH₃ and 2-propyl (iP) radicals with the 1,1,2-trimethylallyl (TMA) radical have been studied in the gas phase in the temperature interval of 389–451 K and 490–540 K, respectively. For the ratios of the terminal (t) and non-terminal (n) combinations of the CH₃ and iP radicals with the TMA radical, values of 1.9±0.1 and 2.84±±0.10 were obtained, respectively. The ratios of the tt and tn and nn to tn combinations of the TMA radical were 1.59 and 0.46, respectively. The disproportionation-combination rations were (CH₃ , TMA)=0.022±±0.012 and (iP, TMA)=0.026±0.011.

Reduction of benzylideneaniline over supported Pd catalysts

In this work we have carried out a study on the liquid phase hydrogenation of benzylideneaniline, using dihydrogen over various supported Pd catalysts. Benzyl-ideneaniline reduction can be classified as insensitive to the catalyst structure. On the other hand, no compensating effect has been observed in performing the reaction over different supported Pd catalysts.

Influence of the crystallite size of platinum of the course of hydrogenolysis of ethane and propane over Pt/Al2O3 catalysts

The effect of the degree of platinum crystallite size on the reaction rate, selectivity and activation energy of ethane and propane hydrogenolysis has been studied in the range of platinum crystallite size of 1.7–4.0 nm. In the same range of Pt crystallite size, the activation energy of both processes shows a clear minimum. The decrease in Pt crystallite size bellow 3.0 nm brings about rapid changes in the selectivity of propane hydrogenolysis.

Study of hydroisomerization of n-hexane on natural mordenite catalyst

A mordenite-containing rock sample from the Tokaj Mountains (Hungary) and its various forms modified by chemical treatment have been tested for catalytic properties during isomerization of n-hexane. Addition of Pt to the catalyst leads to a sharp decrease in the rate of cracking and in the rate of deactivation and this results in a catalyst of high selectivity for hexane isomers.

Temperature programmed desorption of NH3 and H2O from NH4NaX and CoNH4NaX zeolites

A study has been made of temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of NH₃ and H₂O from samples of NH₄X and CoNH₄X zeolites of various degree of exchange. NH₃ TPD peaks could be explained by interaction of NH₃ with different Brönsted and Lewis acidic centers. Moreover a water peak at high temperatures allowed interpretations of the dehydroxylation, and by reason of the characteristic desorption temperatures a particular state of the Co²⁺ ions in the CoNH₄X zeolites is postulated.

Characterization of chiral building blocks for vitamin D metabolites by DSC

The enantiometric purity of a vitamin D₃ metabolite was determined more exactly by means of DSC than by¹ H-NMR. The melting curve was analysed by the partial area method based on the Schröder-van Laar equation. In order to find a suitable method for separation(R)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutylp-toluenesulfonate from the racemate, the phase diagram of the enantiomers was evaluated from DSC results. The occurrence of a racemic compound was confirmed by an X-ray diffraction investigation of the racemate and the enantiomers. The conclusions are discussed in comparison with the results of previous investigations.

Dazu wird die Schmelzkurve nach der Partialflächenmethode ausgewertet, die auf der Schröder-van Laar'schen Gleichung beruht.Zum Auffinden einer geeigneten Methode für die Abtrennung des R-Enantiomeren aus dem Racemat wurde das Phasendiagramm der Enantiomeren aus DSC-Messungen konstruiert. Das Vorliegen einer racemischen Verbindung wurde durch Röntgenbeugungsuntersuchungen von Racemat und reinen Enantiomeren bestätigt.

Kinetic isotope effect in trans-alkylation with ethylbenezene

Kinetic isotope effect (KIE) measurements in the trans-alkylation of toluene and benzene with ethylbenzene in hexane in the presence of AlBr₃ at 313 K indicate that deuterium in the toluene methyl group causes a small inverse KIE characteristic for a -complex transiton state. The small direct KIE found for the reaction with C₂D₅C₆H₅ does not agree with a mechanism involving alkyl-and -phenylalkyl cations.

Kinetics of thermal dehydration of some bis-salicylato-diaquo complexes of transition metal ions

The kinetics of thermal dehydration of bis-salicylato-diaquo complexes of VO(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Mn(II) and Zn(II) were studied. The activation energies and other kinetic parameters were evaluated. The observed kinetic parameters indicate first-order reactions. The activation energy of the thermal dehydration decreases in the sequence VO(II) > Cu(II) > Zn(II) > Co(II) > Ni(II) > Fe(II) > Mn(II), which is also the sequence for the difference in carboxyl group IR frequency.

Toluene disproportionation and coke formation over fluorided alumina and hydrogen-mordenite

Toluene transformation was investigated on a fluorided alumina and a protonic mordenite under hydrogen (0.8, 12 bar) and under nitrogen (12 bar). Hydrogen pressure considerably improves the catalytic stability of H-mordenite by inhibiting the formation of coke. Moreover, hydrogen eliminates part of the coke deposited by reaction under nitrogen, and regenerates the activity of the mordenite. On the contrary, hydrogen has no effect in the case of fluorided alumina. The particular behavior of the mordenite is attributed to its very strong acidity.
