Based on the method of ε-NTU, a mathematical modeling of ester-interchange reaction for dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) with ethylene glycol (EG) by acetate system was simulated, and, in addition, the corresponding kinetic equation is obtained by using the theoretical method of simulation. That is,-(dc)/(dt)=kc(c+k')where:-(dc)/(dt)= the reaction rate of the monomer, C -concentration of the monomer, θ-Suitable parameterk,k'-constant (k'=θ/k)The experimental results have showed that the ester-interchange reaction is a reaction neither first order or second order nor third order,but it is a reaction of secondary linear type.

A novel energetic combustion catalyst, 1,8-dihydroxy-4,5-dinitroanthraquinone manganese salt （DHDNEMn）, was synthesized by virtue of the metathesis reaction in a yield of 91%, and its structure was characterized by IR, element analysis and differential scanning calorimetry（DSC）. The thermal decomposition reaction kinetics was studied by means of different heating rate DSC. The results show that the apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor of the exothermic decomposition reaction of DHDNEMn obtained by Kissinger＇s method are 162.3 kJ/mol and 1011.8 s^-1, respectively. The kinetic equation of major exothermic decomposition reaction of DHDNEMn is dα/dT= 10^118/β 2/5（1-α）[-ln（1-α）[-ln（1-α）]^3/5 exp（-1.623×10^5/RT）. The entropy of activation（△S^≠）, enthalpy of activation（△H^≠） and free energy of activation（A△G^≠） of the first thermal decomposition are -24.49 J·mol^-1·K^-1, 185.20 kJ/mol and 199.29 kJ/mol（T=575.5 K）, respectively. The self-accelerating decomposition temperature（TSADT） and critical temperature of thermal explosion（Tb） are 562.9 and 580.0 K, respectively. The above-mentioned information on the thermal behavior is quite useful for analyzing and evaluating the stability and thermal safety of DHDNEMn.

Studies on synthesis and kinetics of thermodecomposition of the nickel(Ⅱ) compounds with Schiff base derived from amino acids

Monoaqua salicylaldehyde-o-aminobenzoic acid Ni(Ⅱ) monohydrate (cp1) and monoaqua o-vanillin-o-aminobenzoic acid Ni(Ⅱ) monohydrate (cp2) were synthesized. The composition and structures of these two compounds were analyzed. Their thermal stability and non-isothermal kinetics were also investigated by use of TG and DTG curves.

POLYMER-SUPPORTED RARE EARTH CATALYSTS FOR STYRENE POLYMERIZATION

The neodymium complex supported on styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer (SMA·Nd) has been prepared for the first time and found to be a highly effective catalyst for the polymerization of styrene. The SMA·Nd polymeric complex is characterized by IR and its catalytic activity, and the polymerization features have been investigated in comparison with that of the conventional Ziegler-Natta catalysts. When [Nd]=1×10~(-3) mol/L, [M]=5mol/L, Al/Nd=170(mol ratio) and CCl_4/Nd=50(mol ratio), the polymerization conversion of styrene gets to 51.6% in six hours, and the catalytic activity reaches 1852 gPS/gNd, which is much higher than that of conventional rare earth catalysts. The polymerization reaction has an induction period and shows some characteristics of chain polymerization. The polymerization rate is the first order with respect to the concentration of styrene monomer. Addition of FeCl_3 does not suppress the polymerization.     

环丙沙星-钨硅多金属氧酸盐的制备及热分解动力学

A new polyoxometalate （CPFX·HCl）3H4SiW12O40·10H2O was prepared from ciprofloxacin hydrochloride and H4SiW12O40·nH2O in aqueous solution, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and DTA-TG-DTG techniques. The IR spectrum confirmed the presence of Keggin structure and the characteristic functional group for ciprofloxacin in the compound. The TG-DTA-DTG curves showed that its thermal decomposition was a four-step process consisting of simultaneous collapse of Keggin type structure. The residue of decomposition was the mixture of WO3 and SiO2, confirmed by X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. The decomposition mechanism and nonisothermal kinetic parameters of the polyoxometalate were obtained from an analysis to the TG-DTG curves by the single scanning methods （the Achar method and Coats-Redfern method） and the multiple scanning methods （the Kissinger method, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method and Starink method）. The results indicate that the kinetic equationswith parameters describing the thermal decomposition reaction are dα/dt=6.65×10^6[3（1-α）^2/3]e^-10495.5/T with E=87.26 kJ/mol and A=6.65×10^6 s^-1 for the second step,dα/dt=7.01×10^9（1-α）e^-18770.7/T with E=156.06 kJ/mol and A=7.01×10^9 s^-1 for the third step,dα/dt=9.77×10^43[（1-α）^2]e^-88980.0/T with E=739.78 kJ/mol and A=9.77×10^43 s^-1 for the fourth step.     

Preparation of magnetite and its decomposition of water

The optimum conditions were studied for the formation of magnetite by the air oxidation of Fe(OH)2 suspensions. The cation-deficient magnetite (Fe3-δO4, δ>0) was obtained by the air (200mL/min) oxidation of Fe(OH)2 suspensions for 8- 25 h at 343 -358 K and NaOH/FeSO4=2.0 (mole ratio). The oxygen-deficient magnetite (Fe3+δO4, δ>0) was prepared through CO gas reduction of the cation-deficient magnetite at 563 K and its stableness at various temperatures and atomspheres was surveyed. The activity of decomposing water into hydrogen gas with oxygen-deficient magnetite at 563 K was studied and its relations to the oxygen-deficient degree and reaction temperature were investigated, respectively. The results show that the longer the time for magnetite being reduced by carbon monoxide, the higher the oxygen-deficient degree, and the more active its dedcomposition of water is. After reaction, oxygen (O2-) was taken away from water by oxygen-deficient magnetite, which converted to the cation-deficient magnetit     

The effects of alkali metal(Na+,K+) on the exchange degree of Hβ zeolite and the catalytic properties of the alkalized zeolites

The effects of alkali metals (Na+,K+) on the exchange degree of Hβ zeolite under different conditions and the conversion of α(or β)-methylnaphthalene over the alkalized zeolites were studied. The results showed that the H+ of Hβ zeolite is totally replaced by the Na+ of NaCl solution, while partially exchanged by the K+ of KC1 solution, there is an exchange equilibrium between the H+ and K+ for Hβ zeolite (Si/Al=17.23) and the value of equilibrium is 88.39. The exchange degree also increases with increasing the Si/Al of the samples. It was suggested that these resluts are attributed to the electrostatic field in the pore of Hβ zeolite and the nature of zeolite and the properties of alkali metal. The isomerization of α(or β)-methylnaphthalene is the main reaction over the samples and it is more favour on the proper acid-base sites of KHβ zeolite.     

Kinetics of the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Propane over a VMgO Catalyst

The reaction kinetics of the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane was studied at 475-550℃ over a VMgO catalyst. Vanadium-magnesium-oxides are among the most selective and active catalysts for the dehydrogenation of propane to propylene. Selectivity to propylene up to about 60% was obtained at 10% conversion, but the selectivity decreased with increasing conversion. No oxygenates were detected, the only by-products were CO and CO2. The reaction rate of propane was found to be first order in propane and close to zero order in oxygen, which is in agreement with a Mars van Krevelen mechanism with the activation of the hydrocarbon as the rate determining step. The activation energy of the conversion of propane was found to be 122±6 kJ/mol.

The pyrolyses of tri- and tetramethylethylene in the presence of nitric oxide

The pyrolyses of trimethylethylene and tetramethylethylene have been investigated in the presence and absence of nitric oxide. It appears that apart from a unimolecular split, e.g., a disproportionation reaction such as may play an important role in initiation. Nitric oxide had no effect on H₂ production, which is probably a molecular process. There was similar behavior of both compounds in the presence of NO, indicating that the olefinic hydrogen atom does not play a decisive role. Other aspects of the mechanisms are discussed.     

Durch Nachbargruppenbeteiligung induzierte (1,2)-Chlorwasserstoff-Eliminierung aus ionisiertem 2-(β-Chloräthyl)- benzoesäuremethylester

By using deuterium labelled compounds and collisional activation spectra the mechanism of the unusually intensive HCl elimination from 2-(β-chloroalkyl)benzoic acid methyl ester as well as the structure of the product ion have been elucidated. It can be shown that the structure of the stable ion (lifetime τ～10?5 s) is best represented by 2-vinyl benzoic acid methyl ester whereas the reactive ion (lifetime τ<10^?6 s) at least partially rearranges to a cyclic ion. The hydrogen chloride elimination from 2-(β-chloroalkyl)benzoic acid is apparently a simple 1,2 process. A closer examination reveals that the reaction represents a further example of an unusual neighbouring group participation of the ester function.     

Interfaces between coexisting phases in polymer mixtures: What can we learn from Monte Carlo simulations?

Symmetric binary polymer mixtures are studied by Monte Carlo simulation of the bond fluctuation model, considering both interfaces between coexisting bulk phases and interfaces confined in thin films. It is found that the critical behavior of interfacial tension and width is compatible with that of the Ising model, as expected from the universality principle. In the strong segregation limit, only qualitative but not quantitative agreement with the self-consistent field (SCF) theory is found. It is argued that the SCF theory requires but for the short chains studied (N = 32 effective monomer units per chain), the limit is only reached for close to unity. Also, the effective χ-parameter decreases in the interface. It is shown that the interfacial width w does not increase by the adsorption of block copolymers as long as their areal density is still dilute (“mushroom” regime). But a broadening of interfaces does occur for thin films confined between walls at distance D, due to fluctuations that lead to for short-range forces, in agreement with experiment.

Synthesis and psychotropic properties of furyl- and thienyl-germatranes

Trihalogermyl-furans and -thiophenes were prepared by inserting germanium dibromide (GeBr₂) generated from the dibromogermane(II) dioxanate complex into the carbon-halogen bond of halo-furans and -thiophenes. Their ethanolysis and transesterification by triethanolamine yielded the germatranes which were subjected to psychotropic activity assays. The psychotropic properties of germatranes were found to depend on the type of the heterocycle and on the position of the germatrane moiety.
