Interaction of super-finely dispersed Al powders with water

Interaction of super-finely dispersed Al powders (SFDP) with water is characterized by the presence of a considerable section on the kinetic curves, where the conversion rate is maximum and its degree is as high as =0.5–0.7. It is suggested that the essential factor accounting for the conversion kinetics and the phase composition of its products is the self-heating of Al particles.

Selective hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene in the liquid phase on palladium catalysts

The catalytic hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene to cyclopentene was investigated under atmospheric pressure and 20°C in liquid phase with palladium carrier catalysts. The reaction was carried out in methanol and toluene in the presence of n-octylcatechol as a polymerization inhibitor. Using 0.56% Pd/Al₂ O₃, a 100% selectivity of the hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene to cyclopentene was achieved in toluene. In methanol, the selectivity of hydrogenation was lower and a partial polymerization of cyclopentadiene took place.

Kinetics of edta catalyzed oxidation of I? by Cr(VI)

The activity of various iron-containing ore catalysts during hydrogenation of Kansk-Achinsk lignite into liquid products in H-donor solvent (tetraline) has been studied. Ore samples contained pyrite, hematite and magnetite minerals. The most active appear to be pyrite samples. The catalytic effect of ore systems is, apparently, associated with the fact that during hydrogenation more active than tetraline H-donors are formed due to the hydrogenation of polycyclic aromatic molecules produced by thermal destruction of lignite.

Catalytic oxidation of octene-1 in the presence of palladium(II) salts and heteropolyacids

In the presence of the catalytic system (PdSO₄+HPA), where HPA=H₉PMo₆V₆O₄₀, octene-1 is found to be selectively (95%) oxidized to octanone-2. The optimum concentration ratio for catalyst stability is [HPA]:[PdSO₄]=30–40. The substitution of PdCl₂ for PdSO₄ leads to the formation of all three isomeric octanones without decrease of the overall selectivity. Effective rate constants and the apparent activation energy have been determined in the temperature range from 60 to 80 °C.

Critical evaluation of the effective resonance energy concept and the epithermal neutron spectrum shape-factorα for reactor NAA purposes

The epithermal reactor neutron spectrum shape-factor, and the associated effective resonance energy for a given nuclide, are examined theoretically in great detail. First the necessity, meaning and importance of the choice of a reference neutron energy in a non-ideal spectrum (0) are explained. Next, the definition and practical calculation of are discussed, showing that the relation between the reasonance integrals in ideal and non-ideal spectra cannot be described adequately by two independent parameters and . The exact meaning of the logarithmic expression defining an independent of is clarified, its limits of validity are established as a function of and, as a result, it follows that relatively large systematic errors on can be introduced by its use. It is shown that is dominated by the first lowest resonance energies for a given nuclide, making its vulnerability to literature updates of resonance parameters almost equal to those of individual resonances. The effect, on the epithermal and total activation of specific nuclides, of large systematic and statistical errors on and, is calculated for a series of nuclides (different I₀/₀ and ) and irradiation facilities (different and _the), and represented graphically.Finally, the effect of important errors on and is calculated for final NAA results in terms of concentrations, botained by a comparator technique based on the¹⁹⁷Au reference nuclide. Conclusions are drawn concerning the impact of the foregoing on the usefulness of comparator type reactor NAA as an alternative to classical NAA using multi-element standards.

Proton donor ability of surface hydroxy groups from the IR spectra of hydrogen-bonded complexes

The influence of the strength of N-bases on the shift of (OH) in hydrogenbonded complexes upon adsorption on the surface of a decationized zeolite, phosphates and aerosil differing in the proton donor ability of surface hydroxy groups has been investigated. It is shown that the acid-base properties of the adsorbent-adsorbate pair produce additive influence on the above frequency shifts. A method for the determination of the proton donor ability of surface hydroxy groups (in terms of pK_a) from the IR spectra of hydrogen-bonded complexes is suggested.

Kinetics of oxidation of acrolein on a vanadium-molybdenum oxide catalyst

A kinetic study has shown that, in the range of low conversions, the reaction rate depends only on the partial pressure of oxygen. Comparison of the oxidation of acrolein and I-deuteroacrolein suggests that the splitting of the H–CO bond is not rate-limiting.

Iodometric determination of sulphate by a direct thermometric method

A thermometric method has been developed for the determination of sulphate after direct or indirect conversion to chromate. The chromate equivalent to sulphate is determined by direct injection enthalpimetry (DIE) using K1 as a reagent, by measuring the temperature change due to the exothermic reaction taking place. The temperature change is proportional to the concentration of sulphate originally present. The method is suitable for the determination of as low as 10^–4 M sulphate concentration, which means an increase in sensitivity of about tenfold in comparison with that of the thermometric method based on the reaction of sulphate with barium.

Zusammenfassung Eine thermometrische Methode wurde zur Bestimmung von Sulfat nach direkter oder indirekter Umsetzung zu Chromat entwickelt. Das dem Sulfat äquivalente Chromat wurde mittels direkter Injektionsenthalpimetrie (DIE) unter Anwendung von KI als Reagenz bestimmt, indem die infolge der sich abspielenden exothermen Reaktion auftretende Temperaturänderung gemessen wurde. Die Temperaturänderung ist der Konzentration des ursprünglich vorhandenen Sulfats proportional.Die Methode eignet sich zur Bestimmung von Sulfatkonzentrationen in der Größenordnung von 10^–4 M, was eine etwa zehnfache Erhöhung der Empfindlichkeit im Vergleich zu jener der auf der Reaktion von Sulfat mit Barium beruhenden thermometrischen Methode bedeutet.

Résumé On a mis au point une méthode thermométrique pour le dosage des sulfates, après conversion directe ou indirecte en chromate. Le dosage du chromate équivalent au sulfate s'effectue par enthalpimétrie d'injection directe en prenant l'iodure de potassium comme réactif et en mesurant les variations de température dues à la réaction exothermique qui se produit. La variation de température est proportionnelle à la concentration en sulfate initialement présent.La méthode se prête au dosage de concentrations en sulfate de l'ordre de 10^–4 M, ce qui signifie que la sensibilité est augmentée de dix fois comparativement à celle de la méthode thermométrique utilisant la réaction au sulfate de baryum.

Interdependence between the dispersion of a solid decomposition product and its formation rate

In an analysis of the possible mechanism and kinetics of a thermal decomposition reaction with the formation of a solid product, the following features were considered: the collective rearrangement character of the transformation; the formation of a product with a different non-equilibrium defectiveness and free energy; the free energy relationship in the series of processes leading to products with different dispersions; the formation of intermediate structures; and the spinodal character of their decomposition. Relationships are presented between the rate of solid product formation, the process temperature, and the surface area and size of the particles.

Measurement of the specific heat and heat of decomposition of a polymer composite to high temperatures

The specific heat and heat of decomposition of a glass-filled phenolformaldehyde (phenolic) resin have been determined from experimental data obtained using a simultaneous thermal analyzer capable of operation to 1500 C. The measurements were conducted on powdered samples of the polymer to temperatures of approximately 1050 C at a rate of 20 deg min^–1 in an argon atmosphere. Both the mass loss and energetics were measured for the virgin component of the material, while only the energetics were measured for the char component. The combination of these data was used to calculate the specific heat of the virgin, char, and decomposing material, as well as the heat of decomposition. Also, in order to establish the accuracy of the instrument, the specific heat of pyroceram 9606 was measured and compared to previously published values.

An analysis of the possible causes of apparent compensation effects when investigating a substance under varying experimental conditions

The major causes leading to the apparent compensation effect (lgA=aE+b) at the thermal decomposition of one and the same substance in a series of experimental conditions (varying of the mass of the sample, of the heating rate, of disperseness, and at different distances from the equilibrium) were discussed. It was found that the appearance of a compensation effect at the study of the thermal decomposition of one and the same substance demonstrates the incorrect setup of the experiment, resulting in erroneous values calculated for the kinetic parameters.
