Single gas permeation through compositionally different zeolite NaA membranes: Observations on the intercrystalline porosity in an unconventional,semicrystalline layer

The successful application of zeolite A membranes in the industrial market has thus far been restricted to the pervaporative dehydration of solvent streams in the pharmaceutical and engineering industries. Their application in gas separation processes remains elusive, largely due to the existence of uncontrollable, intercrystalline diffusion pathways in the boundary regions of neighbouring crystals.     

Mössbauer Spectroscopic Studies of Supported α-Fe2O3 and Fe Catalysts I: Particle Size Determination and Support Effect

The chemical state of particles of 5wt% Fe in α-Fe₂O₃ and the subsequently reduced iron particles supported on different particle size (50–200 mesh) of silica (SiO₂), alumina (Al₂O₃), magnesium oxide (MgO) and carbon (C) was examined by Mössbauer spectroscopy at various stages of calcination and reduction. The particle size of the α-Fe₂O₃ supported on different mesh sizes (50, 100, 140, 200 mesh) of SiO₂ has been determined. The strength of metal-support interaction with respect to the kind of support was found to be MgO>SiO₂>Al₂O₃>C.     

Comonomer effects with high-activity titanium- and vanadium-based catalysts for ethylene polymerization

High-activity titanium- and vanadium-based catalysts for ethylene polymerization frequently show an increase in reaction rate in the presence of an α-olefin. The magnitude of this increase depends on the specific α-olefin. The results show propylene > 1-butene > 1-hexene in increasing initial reaction rates. Addition of certain electron-donor compounds to these catalysts can lower the magnitude of the comonomer effect and, in some cases, totally eliminate such an effect. Among the classes of electron-donor compounds examined were ether-alcohols, ether-esters, amino-alcohols, alkoxysilanes, siloxanes, and phosphine oxides. Reaction kinetics show that the presence of a comonomer can influence the kinetic order of the reaction. These results can be interpreted using a mechanistic model involving two vacant coordination positions at the active sites. In this model electron donors and comonomers are viewed as Lewis-base ligands which influence features of chain propagation and chain termination. As Lewis-base ligands, the comonomers can also increase the number of active sites available for polymerization. Catalyst deactivation following the initial comonomer rate increase is believed to be caused by reaction with the Lewis bases (α-olefin included) in the system and by possible reduction in the oxidation state of the metal centers. The most acidic metal centers activated by the comonomer are most reactive to Lewis bases and deactivate most rapidly. Veratrole (1,2-dimethoxybenzene) can be employed as a probe for estimating the number of bis-vacant coordination sites in vanadium-based catalysts. Addition of low levels of veratrole led to significant deactivation of the vanadium-based catalyst. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Spectroscopic Characterization of Mo-Co-S and Mo-Fe-S Complexes-derived Catalysts for Desulfurization and Denitrification

The characteristic studies, by means of LR, UV-Vis and XPS spectroscopies, of the preparation process of Mo-Co-S and Mo-Fe-S catalysts for HDS and HDN, derived from (NH4)2MoS4-CoCl2 and (NH4)2MoS4-FeCl2 complexes supported on γ-Al2O3, respectively, indicate that the catalytically essential moiety on the surface of the catalysts is dominantly some sulfido-bimetallic species with such a structural unit (M' =Co or Fe), and both Co and Fe, served as promoters, can donate electrons to Mo probably via bridging-S. The nature of active-sites and the mechanism of promotion are discussed according to the results.     

Metal-dependent stereochemistry of C—C bond formation under the asymmetric phase transfer catalysis by chiral salen complexes

The effect of the nature of the central metal atom in chiral salen type complexes on the stereodifferentiating capacity of these complexes as catalysts in phase transfer asymmetric alkylation of Schiff"s base derived from alanine isopropyl ester and benzaldehyde by benzyl bromide. The nature of the central metal atom in the complex has a pronounced influence on the stereochemistry of alkylation; copper(ii) complexes exhibit the highest activity combined with a high stereoselectivity.

A DFT study of the Diels-Alder reaction between methyl acrolein derivatives and cyclopentadiene. Understanding the effects of Lewis acids catalysts based on sulfur containing boron heterocycles

The effects of Lewis acid catalysts based on sulfur containing boron heterocycles on the Diels-Alder reactions of two methyl acroleins with cyclopentadiene have been studied using DFT methods. These reactions take place along highly asynchronous concerted processes. While the reaction with crotonaldehyde leads to the expected endo adduct, the reaction with methacrolein leads to exo one in agreement with the experiments. The catalytic effect can be explained through the analysis of the electrophilicity index (ω) of the reagents, and the molecular structure of the corresponding transition structures.
