Zinc exchanged zeolite X was found to catalyze effectively the dehydrosulfurization of ethanethiol. The catalytic activity correlated linearly with the degree of ion exchange and increased with the reaction temperature. The role of zinc cations in the reaction examined is discussed and suggestions concerning the reaction mechanism are put forward.

Measurement of reaction kinetics by a pressure rise method

Decomposition of urea nitrate in an initially evacuated system gave sigmoidal pressurevs. time curves. The experimental kinetic data fit the growing nuclei model with a measured enthalpy of activation of 142±12.5 kJ/mole as compared to 115±11.3 kJ/mole obtained thermogravimetrically. This higher value ofH is explained on the basis of two factors: 1) the inhibitory effect of the product gases and 2) self heating, whose extent increasedH by about 12.5 kJ/mole.

Zusammenfassung Die Zersetzung von Harnstoffnitrat in einem anfanglich evakuierten System ergab sigmoide Druck-Zeit Kurven. Die kinetischen Versuchsangaben können einem Kernwachstums-Modell einer gemessenen Aktivierungsenthalpie von 142±12,5 kJ/mol angepaßt werden, im Vergleich zu den auf thermogravimetrischen Weg ermittelten Wert von 115±11.3 kJ/Mol. Dieser hohe Wert vonH, wird auf Grund zweier Faktoren erklärt: 1) der Hemmungseffekt der Produktgase und 2) Selbsterhitzung, deren AusmaßH um etwa 12.5 kJ/Mol erhöhte.

Résumé La décomposition du nitrate d'urée dans un système initialement mis sous vide, donne des courbes sigmoïdales de pression en fonction du temps. Les données cinétiques expérimentales peuvent être ajustées à un modèle de grossissement de germes, avec une enthalpie d'activation mesurée de 142±12.5 kJ/mole, comparée à 115±11.3 kJ/mole obtenue par thermogravimétrie. Cette valeur plus élevée deH s'explique sur la base de deux facteurs: 1) l' effet inhibiteur des gaz produits et 2) phénomène d'autoéchauffement qui augmente la valeur deH d'environ 12.5 kJ/mole.

Oxidative coupling of alkylbenzenes to diaryls catalyzed by the palladium(II)-heteropolyacid system

Oxidative coupling of alkylbenzenes (benzene, toluene, o-xylene, durene) is shown to proceed in the presence of palladium salts and heteropolyacids under the action of oxygen with a high yield of diaryls. The addition of mercury salts and variation of the solvent affect the reaction rate and isomer composition of the products.

Dehydrogenation of tetrahydrothiophene on nickel-zeolite catalysts

Application of Y zeolites for the preparation of nickel-containing catalysts makes it possible to increase the yield of thiophene up to 55–65% at a selectivity of 70–73% (450–500°C). The activity of nickel-zeolite samples, deactivated during the reaction, is completely restored by regeneration with air at 550°C.

Kinetic studies on the thermal decomposition of glucose and fructose

The thermal decompositions of glucose and fructose were studied by means of the Derivatograph. From the melting temperature up to 300 these monosaccharides decompose and give brown caramel matter. The TG curves as functions of time were taken at various heating rates (0.5–10/min) by the Derivatograph and the activation energies of the decompositions were determined by Ozawa's method.

Characterization of [Ni(py)4]Cl2 and its thermal decomposition

The stepwise thermal decomposition of [Ni(py)₄]Cl₂ was studied by means of a derivatograph. The stepwise mode of thermal decomposition allowed the preparation of new complexes. X-ray powder diffraction and IR methods were used to study the structures of the decomposition intermediates. [Ni(py)₄]Cl₂ was applied as a model substance. The decompositions of a great number of complex compounds of similar type have been reported, but only a few of them have been investigated structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques due to the difficulty of obtaining large single-crystals.

Routes of nitrogen formation in reduction of nitrogen oxide by carbon monoxide and hydrogen over nickel chromite catalyst

The route of NO reduction to N₂ over nickel chromite catalyst is dependent on the nature of the reducing agent. NO reduction by dihydrogen proceeds mainly through the step of N₂O formation, whereas NO reduction to N₂ by carbon monoxide is mainly direct without a step of N₂O formation.

Thermal and mechanical studies on the cure time optimisation of polysulphide resin

The effect of two commercially available metal oxide curing agents, PbO₂ and MnO₂, on the cure time, kinetic parameters and ultimate tensile strength of the polysulphide polymer was investigated. The kinetic parameters for the thermal decomposition of the two systems were evaluated from their TG data. Both the energy of activation and pre-exponential factor showed a systematic increase with increase in cure and levelled off after the reaction. The cure time was also followed by determining the mechanical properties of the samples at regular intervals. The ultimate tensile strength values and the kinetic parameters follow similar trend with respect to the cure time. The kinetic parameters and the ultimate tensile strength for the PbO₂ cured polysulphide system were on the higher side.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde der Einfluß von zwei im Handel erhältlichen Metalloxidhärtemitteln. PbO₂ und MnO₂, auf die Aushärtungszeit, die kinetischen Parameter und die Zugfestigkeit von Polysulfidpolymeren untersucht. Die kinetischen Parameter für die thermische Zersetzung der zwei Systeme wurden aus deren TG-Daten ermittelt. Sowohl die Aktivierungsenergie als auch der präexponentielle Faktor wachsen mit fortschreitender Aushärtung ständig an und erreichen nach Verlauf der Reaktion einen konstanten Wert. In gleichmäßigen Zeitabschnitten wurde die Aushärtungszeit auch durch Bestimmen der mechanischen Eigenschaften der Proben verfolgt. In Bezug auf die Aushärtungszeit zeigen die Zugfestigkeit und die kinetischen Parameter einen ähnlichen Verlauf. Die kinetischen Parameter und die Zugfestigkeit von mit PbO₂ gehärteten Polysulfidsystemen zeigen bessere Werte.
