Cooperative effect of Fe and Ti species over Fe–Ti–Ox catalysts on the catalytic hydrolysis performance of hydrogen cyanide

FeO_x, TiO₂, and Fe–Ti–O_x catalysts were synthesized and used in the catalytic hydrolysis of hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Nearly 100% HCN conversion was achieved at 250 °C over the Fe–Ti–O_x catalyst. TiO₂ rutile was detected over TiO₂, but not over Fe–Ti–O_x, which suggested that the interaction between Fe and Ti species could inhibit the TiO₂ phase transition. Furthermore, the interaction between Fe and Ti species over Fe–Ti–O_x could promote the selectivity of NH₃ and CO. The mechanism of hydrolysis of HCN over FeO_x, TiO₂, and Fe–Ti–O_x can be given as follows: HCN + H₂O → methanamide → ammonium formate → formic acid → H₂O + CO.     

Interaction of different types of nanocages (Al12N12, Al12P12, B12N12, Be12O12, Mg12O12, Si12C12 and C24) with HCN and ClCN: DFT,TD-DFT,QTAIM, and NBO calculations

In this work, the ability of different types of nanocages including Al₁₂N₁₂, Al₁₂P₁₂, Be₁₂O₁₂, B₁₂N₁₂, Si₁₂C₁₂, Mg₁₂O₁₂ and C₂₄ for the adsorption and detection of poisonous gases HCN and ClCN has been investigated, theoretically using the D3 dispersion corrected density functional theory (DFT-D3). The absorption spectra of HCN–nanocage and ClCN–nanocage complexes were calculated by the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and compared with the calculated absorption spectrum of isolated nanocage to investigate the ability of nanocage for sensing of HCN and ClCN gases. It was found that the strongest interaction between HCN (ClCN) molecule and nanocage takes place when the molecule is adsorbed via its N atom on the surface of nanocage except for C₂₄. Also, it was shown that the Al₁₂N₁₂ is the best adsorbent for HCN and ClCN gases among the selected nanocages and Si₁₂C₁₂ is the best sensor for the detection of these gases using the electroconductivity and absorption spectroscopy techniques.     

Thermal characterization of HCN polymers by TG-MS, TG, DTA and DSC methods

This paper presents a thermogravimetry (TG) study of hydrogen cyanide polymers, synthesized from the reaction of equimolar aqueous solutions of sodium cyanide and ammonium chloride. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were also used to evaluate the thermal behaviour of these black polymers, which play an important role in prebiotic chemistry. A coupled TG-mass spectrometer (MS) system allowed us to analyze the principal volatile thermal decomposition and fragmentation products of the isolated HCN polymers under dynamic conditions and an inert atmosphere. After dehydration, a multi-step decomposition occurred in this particular polymeric system, due to the release of ammonia, hydrogen cyanide (depolymerization reaction), isocyanic acid (or cyanic acid) and formamide; these two latter species allow us identify bond connectivities. Finally, data collected from TG experiments in an oxidative atmosphere showed significant differences at higher temperatures, above 400 °C. According to these results, the different techniques of thermal analysis here applied have demonstrated to be an adequate methodology for the study and characterization of this complex macromolecular system, whose structure remains controversial even today.     

煤热解过程中含氮产物的析出及金属离子的催化特性研究

选择3种典型煤种为研究对象,通过脱灰和添加含Fe、Ca、Na等金属盐,研究煤热解过程中金属离子对含氮气相产物析出特性的影响以及与煤种和温度的交互关联。结果表明,脱灰煤HCN和NH3的产率均比原煤样下降,而随温度的升高HCN的产率逐渐增大,NH3的产率则先增加后减小,在800℃有最大值。金属离子对不同变质程度煤的含氮气相产物析出的催化作用不同;Fe和Na抑制中等变质程度煤HCN的析出,而对低变质程度煤起促进作用,Ca则对HCN的析出均有一定的促进作用。而对于NH3的形成,3种离子均对中等变质程度煤有抑制作用,而对低变质程度的煤则有促进作用。不同金属离子对HCN和NH3析出的催化作用均有一定的范围。煤热解时含氮气相产物的析出是煤中固有多种金属离子共同作用的结果。     

Theory Study of the Adsorption of Hydrocyanic Acid onto Small Silver Clusters

Density functional theory calculations have been performed to study the interaction of small silver clusters, Ag2 ~Ag9, with HCN. The adsorption of HCN on-top site of the silver cluster, among various possible sites, is energetically preferred. The adsorption energies of HCN on the silver clusters reach a local maximum at n = 4, which is only about 0.450 eV, indicating that the adsorbed HCN molecule is weakly perturbed. The adsorbed C–N and C–H stretching frequencies are blue- and red-shifted compared with the values of free HCN, respectively.     

CO_2气氛对燃料N析出特性的影响

在水平管式炉上进行徐州烟煤在Ar和CO_2气氛下的热解试验,研究CO_2气氛对燃料N析出特性的影响。结果发现,两种气氛下,NH_3的收率随温度的升高均先升高后减小,在800℃时达到一个最大值,Ar气氛下此最大值比CO_2气氛下大很多;两种气氛下,HCN的收率均随温度的升高而升高。两种气氛下随着温度的升高,HCN与NH_3的收率比均升高,但在CO_2气氛下收率比更大,说明CO_2的氧化作用和气化作用促进了燃料N向HCN的转化。     

Ligand Exchange Processes on Solvated Zinc Cations – DFT Analysis of Hydrogen Cyanide Exchange on [Zn(HCN)6]2+

The mechanisms for hydrogen cyanide exchange on [Zn(HCN)₆]²⁺ were studied using density functional theory (B3LYP/6‐311+G**), and showed that the limiting dissociative (D) pathway is more favorable than the associative interchange (I_a) mechanism. The activation barrier for the dissociative mechanism (7 kcal · mol^–1) is clearly lower than for the interchange mechanism (15.9 kcal · mol^–1).     

A multispectrum analysis of the ν2 band of HCN: Part II. Theoretical calculations of self-broadening, self-induced shifts, and their temperature dependences

A semiclassical theory based upon the Robert-Bonamy formalism has been developed to explain the experimental measurements of self-broadening, self-induced pressure shift coefficients in the ν₁,ν₂, 2ν₂ bands of H¹²C¹⁴N and the 2ν₁ band of H¹³C¹⁴N, as well as the temperature dependences of these parameters with special emphasis on the ν₂ band. Our calculations include only electrostatic interactions and neglect the vibrational dependence of the isotropic part of the intermolecular potential, which probably has a weak contribution to the HCN self-shifts for the bands investigated in this study. The agreement between theory and measurements is good in the cases of self-broadening coefficients and their variation with temperature, as well as the self-shift coefficients determined at room temperature. However, the observed temperature dependence of self-shift coefficients in the ν₂ band is different from that derived theoretically.
