Study of the evolution of a MoO3+Bi2MoO6 mixture in air and in the conditions of mild propene oxidation

MoO₃ can react with the gamma phase of bismuth molybdate (Bi₂MoO₆) in the conditions of propene oxidation to form the alpha phase (Bi₂Mo₃O₁₂) resulting in a more selective catalyst for propene oxidation to acrolein. Intimate contact between MoO₃ and the gamma phase is an important factor favoring the formation of the alpha phase.

Specific changes in the activity of titanium carbides with various Ti/C ratios in propylene hydrogenation

According to X ray emission spectra, the established regularity in the activity change for titanium carbides with various Ti/C ratios is attributed to the filling degree of the t_2g states of titanium atoms determining the metallicity of chemical bonds of the compounds.

n-Hexane dehydrocyclization on modified L-zeolite

Platinum dispersity and catalytic activity of L-zeolite-metal catalysts at 773 K have been studied depending on the nature of a modifying agent. The mean size of Pt particles is shown to decrease by a factor of 1.5–2 upon adding Re or W. No relation between Pt dispersity and activity in n-hexane dehydrocyclization has been revealed.

Artifacts caused by plastics in chemical experiments: Absorption, degradation, catalysis and irreproducible behavior

In the experimental praxis of our chemical laboratory we have been surprised and impressed by a few uncontrollable results caused by plastics. These materials are generally considered to be chemically more or less unreactive and inert. Absorption and chemical degradation—especially during long use—can activate the surface of silicon rubber, polyethylene or teflon, which are constituents of tubes, reaction vessels, stirring bars and other parts of instruments. In a few cases catalytic activation can be interpreted in terms of the interaction between the microporous surfaces of plastics and reactants. These observations require careful consideration and control of the properties and quality of plastics before using them even in the simplest chemical experiments.

Influence of oxygen compound structural elements of stretching vibration frequency of surface hydroxy groups

Stretching vibration frequencies of OH groups ( OH) in acidic oxygen compounds are determined by the electrostatic characteristics (E_p) of the polyhedron containing this group. Empirical dependence of OH various hydroxy groups on the number and nature of their binding cations is suggested.

Influence of the properties of an oxide film on the oxidation of aluminium powders

The structure of oxide films of aluminium powders has been established to depend on the size of its particles. The temperature dependence of the oxidation of the powder in air is ascribed to changes in both the structure of the oxide laver and the pressure of saturated aluminium vapor. The porous, permeable product consists of hollow microspheres of -Al₂O₃.

Thermoanalytical investigations on the decomposition of double salts

The melting and decomposition behaviour of carnallite was investigated in the closed system under dynamic heating conditions and in the open system under dynamic and quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric conditions in the temperature range between 20 and 300°. DTA heating and cooling cycles in the closed system illustrate the incongruent melting of carnallite and the occurrence of different magnesium chloride hydrate phases. The thermal decomposition under quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric conditions begins at a pressure of at least 100 kPa from the melt and under reduced pressure from the solid. In any case KCl · MgCl₂ · 2 H₂O is formed which is decomposed to a basic product KMgCl_2.84–2.90(OH_0.10–0.16.

Synthesis and thermal studies of metal salts of 2,4, N-trinitroanilinoacetic acid

Copper(II), silver(I) and lead(II) salts of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-N-nitroglycine were prepared and characterised. The thermal behaviour of the salts in air and nitrogen atmospheres was studied by means of DTA and TG techniques. The environment appeared to have no effect on the mode of decomposition. While metal oxides are formed as the end-products of decomposition of the copper and lead salts, metallic silver plus carbon was found to be final product from the silver salt. The thermal stabilities of these salts follow the sequence silver salt>lead salt>copper salt.

Contribution of air oxygen to photooxidation of alkanes by vanadium(V) and chromium(VI) oxocomplexes

In photochemical oxygenation of cyclohexane by KVO₃–CF₃COOH or K₂Cr₂O₇–Bu₄NBr–H₂O–CH₂Cl₂ in air the source of oxygen atoms in the product cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone is air dioxygen rather than a metal oxo-complex. In the absence of dioxygen the products of alkane oxygenation are not formed in either of the above systems. At pH=3, Cr(VI) does oxidize cyclohexane to cyclohexanol even in argon atmosphere.

Enhanced methane production from methanol decomposition over Pt/TiO2 catalysts

The promoting effect of TiO₂ on CH₄ formation from CH₃OH decomposition has been investigated. Hydrogen and CO are products of CH₃OH decomposition which can subsequently react to produce CH₄. We observe an enhancement in this secondary reaction when the support is TiO₂. This enhancement is lost after a high temperature reduction.

Methanol conversion of various cation-exchanged forms of high-silica zeolites

Studies of the methanol conversion on various cation-exchanged forms of high-silica zeolites have revealed that the activity and selectivity of the intact pore structure zeolites depend on the cation composition. On decationated forms the selectivity of methanol conversion to aromatic hydrocarbons is much higher than on the hydrogen form, and it decreases with respect to paraffins.
