Thermodynamic analysis of a process for producing high-octane gasoline components from catalytic cracking gas

The results from a thermodynamic analysis of high-octane gasoline component production from catalytic cracking gases using zeolite catalyst OMNIKAT-210P modified with Ni, Co, Cr are presented. The equilibrium constants of the reactions assumed to occur in this process are calculated, along with the equilibrium yield of the reactions.     

Oxidative dimerization of alcohols in the presence of nitroxyl radical–iodine catalytic system

Pyridine catalyzes oxidation of alcohols with 4-acetamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl–iodine catalytic system at room temperature. Symmetric esters are formed in good yields.     

Integro-differential properties of the singular Sturm-Liouville operator

We consider the properties of the positiveness, fractional power, boundedness, and separation of the singular Sturm-Liouville operator in a weighted space depending on the behavior of its coefficients. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for its positiveness, trace class property, boundedness, and separation.     

Free hypermodules: a categorical approach

Abstract

In category theory, the existence of free objects is very important, especially free modules that play an important role in homological algebra. Although algebraic hyperstructures are a natural extension of algebraic structures, due to the major difference between them, study-free objects in algebraic hyperstructures become very difficult. In this article, we provide a categorical approach for the construction of free hypermodules. In fact, by considering appropriate morphisms between hypermodules, we characterize free hypermodules from three different perspectives.     

Synthesis and fluorescent properties of thiacalix[4]arenes containing terpyridyl fragments at the lower rim

New thiacalix[4]arenes tetrasubstituted by terpyridyl fragments at the lower rims in the 1,3-alternate stereoisomeric form were synthesized. The molecules interact with Eu^III and Tb^III in the DMF solution to form highly luminescent nanoscale (21–26 nm) metal-organic structures with the 2: 1 metal-to-ligand stoichiometry and a narrow particle size distribution.

Physicochemical Properties of Li<Subscript>6</Subscript>V<Subscript>5</Subscript>O<Subscript>15</Subscript> as the Cathode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-vanadium oxide with the formal composition Li₆V₅O₁₅, uniform microsctructure, and the particle size of 100 nm is synthesized by a solution method. The synthesized compound is characterized by the methods of X-ray diffraction analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and synchronous thermal analysis. The total electric conductivity is measured by the method of impedance spectroscopy and its electronic component is estimated by dc method. In the temperature range of 200–400°C, Li₆V₅O₁₅ represents a mixed electronic- ionic conductor with predomination of the ionic component and is thermally stable up to 550°С. Preliminary tests of a laboratory model of electrochemical cell Li|LiPF₆|Li₆V₅O₁₅ are carried out.     

Six-Nuclear Complexes of Platinum(II) and Palladium(II) with Mercamine and β-Mercaptoethanol

The platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes [Pt₆(SCH₂CH₂NH₂)₈]Cl₄ and [Pd₆(SCH₂CH₂OH)₈ Cl₄· 5H₂O with mercamine and β-mercaptoethanol, respectively, were synthesized. It was found on the basis of the comparison of IR and X-ray electron spectra of the ligands and complexes, and also of the data of X-ray diffraction analysis that the bidentate coordination of ligands through sulfur and nitrogen atoms is realized in the platinum(II) complex. In the palladium(II) complex β-mercaptoethanol is coordinated in a mixed-mode type. In both complexes sulfur atoms of the ligands occupy a bridging position.
