Effect of water on the desorption of carbon dioxide from the surface of alumina

Based on investigations of temperature-programmed desorption of CO₂ from -Al₂O₃ surface, three forms of CO₂ adsorption differing considerably in quantitative contributions and temperature ranges of desorption have been distinguished. A significant inhibiting influence of water on CO₂ adsorption has been observed. Water adsorption results in gradual blocking of high and medium-energy adsorptive centers of CO₂ on -Al₂O₃.

Light olefin production from CO/H2 over silica supported Fe/Mn/K catalysts derived from a bimetallic carbonyl anion, [Fe2Mn(CO)12]?

Fe/Mn/K catalysts derived from support of the anionic carbonyl, [Fe₂Mn(CO)₁₂]^– on silica were compared with catalysts prepared by aqueous impregnation methods, and found to be more selective for production of C₂–C₄ olefins. Addition of K had little effect, whereas variations in reaction conditions altered selectivity owing to secondary reactions of the alkene products.

Investigation of the self-heating phenomenon in the bulk polymerization of acrylonitrile

The temperature of the polymerizing system was measured with a thermistor during the bulk polymerization of acrylonitrile initiated by azoisobutyronitrile. The temperature of self-heating suddenly rises at a conversion of about 2%. This jump of temperature is presumably caused by the formation of a gel structure and, consequently, the outfall of thermal convection within the system.

Low-temperature ortho-para conversion of hydrogen on films of rare-earth metals and their copper alloys

Kinetic data for the ortho-para conversion of H₂ at 77 k rear earth metals (REM) and their Cu alloy films are given. Conversion on the surface of Sc, Y, La, Yb and Lu has been shown previously to follow a chemical mechanism, for the others it is magnetic. When alloyed with Cu, the specific catalytic activity (K_sp) of Sc, Y, La, Yb and Lu sharply increases. A sharp increase of K_sp is also observed on Cu alloys of Ce, Sm, Nd, Pr, Eu and Gd and the chemical conversion mechanism becomes predominant. On Tb, Dy, Er, Ho and Tm, K_sp rises only slightly and the magnetic mechanism preserves.

The application of thermoanalytical methods in the investigation of biological substances

The equilibria and thermodynamics of a number of naturally occuring isolated compounds (e.g. proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates) have recently been studied in several laboraties in different temperature ranges, and thermoanalytical methods have been used to study structural changes of biological materials, among them human tissues.In our investigations we succeeded in appling the derivatograph for the assay of glycosaminoglycans and for the characterization of the stability of crosslinked proteins in intact human and animal tissues. By means of this method age-related and pathological changes and repair reactions were studied in various connective and vascular tissues.Other temperature-dependent techniques (DSC, polarizing microscopy) were used successfully in another series of experiments. Alterations in the characteristic order-disorder transition temperatures of human serum lipoproteins could be demonstrated in pathological conditions; the altered physical structure of lipoproteins might give an additional explanation to the assumed mechanism of different metabolic disorders.

The manganese rich portions of the phase diagrams Mn–V and Mn–Cr have been investigated by means of a high temperature X-ray technique. In the system Mn–V two new phases, and , have been observed with -manganese and -manganese type structure, resp. These phases are probably to be classified as -and -phase. The -manganese solid solution with vanadium has a wider range of homogeneity as compared with previous work. The existence of a -phase Mn₃V and phase equilibria below 700°C reported previously could be confirmed. The linear thermal expansion of the intermetallic compounds , , , the -and -manganese solid solutions with vanadium has been evaluated. A tentative phase diagram for the manganese rich portion is given. The main features of the system Mn–Cr according to previous investigations could be confirmed.

Novel evidence for the selective behaviour of tungsten carbide in liquid phase heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation

Liquid (aqueous) phase catalytic hydrogenation of compounds containing two oxo-groups in -position (biacetyl, glyoxal, alloxan) was studied in the presence of tungsten carbide catalyst. It has been shown that only one of the oxo-groups is affected in the course of the process and is transformed into a >CH–OH group. Comparative studies carried out in the presence of platinum catalyst attest the selective behaviour of tungsten carbide.

New method for determination of the equilibrium state in systems involving reactions of the type A(s)=B(s)+C(g)

A static method is described for measurement of the equilibrium values of temperature, pressure and composition of the solid phase, and determination of the number of degrees of freedom in heterogeneous systems containing a gaseous phase, including water vapour. With this method, it has been found that in the system formed in the thermal dehydration of CaC₂O₄·H₂O a solid solution of monohydrate and anhydride coexists in equilibrium with water vapour. The composition of the solid solution changes with the temperature and the pressure of water vapour. The dehydration enthalpy of the solid solution referred to 1 mol H₂O does not depend on its composition. It was found to be H _deh=(69+-3) kJ·mol^–1.

Die Zusammensetzung dieser festen Lösung ändert sich mit der Temperatur und dem Wasserdampfdruck, ihre Dehydratationsenthalpie (pro 1 mol Wasser) hängt nicht von der Zusammensetzung ab und wurde zu H _deh=(69±3) kJ mol^–1 bestimmt.

Influence of the preparation method on the pore spectrum of Pt?Cr/Al2O3 and Pt?Sn/Al2O3 catalysts

It is shown that, in contrast to classical impregnation methods, in bimetallic catalyst production the texture of the carrier is stabilized by introducing the promoting ion on the surface of Pt/Al₂O₃ with vapors of CrO₂Cl₂ or SnCl₄. This is shown by a relatively slower decrease of the specific area and the volume of the pores upon calcination.

Ab initio investigation of the electron structure in bis-Cu+ acetylene and vinylidene complexes

[Cu(-C₂H₂)₂]⁺, [Cu(-CCH₂)₂]⁺ and [Cu(-C₂H₂) (-CCH₂]⁺ complexes have been studied by the ab initio double-zeta basis set method. It has been established that all calculated compounds are stable to decomposition into two C₂H₂ molecules and Cu⁺ cation and into one C₂H₂ molecules and the respective monocomplex. Calculation results suggest the possibility of intramolecular acetylene-vinylidene rearrangement in the coordination sphere of Cu⁺.

Proof of the kinetic reaction mechanism of PVC degradation using TA

The possibility of describing the kinetics of thermal degradation of PVC samples under both isothermal and nonisothermal conditions with a unique model and using the same set of parameters was investigated. Analysis of the experimental data revealed good agreement at higher temperatures (above 175 °C) when the catalytic action of generated HCl and its distribution in the sample were considered. At lower reaction temperatures, further experimental conditions and/or sample characteristics must be considered, and a modification of the model is necessary.

Zusammenfassung Es wird die Möglichkeit untersucht, die Kinetik des thermischen Abbaus von PVC sowohl unter isothermen wie unter nichtisothermen Bedingungen durch ein einziges Modell und unter Verwendung des gleichen Parametersatzes zu beschreiben. Die Analyse der Messdaten zeigt gute Übereinstimmung bei hohen Temperaturen (über 175 °C), wenn die katalytische Aktivität des entwickelten HCL und seine Verteilung in der Probe berücksichtigt werden. Bei tieferen Temperaturen müssen weitere experimentelle Bedingungen und/oder Probeneigenschaften berücksichtigt werden, was eine Modifizierung des Modells erforderlich macht.

14 MeV neutron activation analysis of ternary copper ilver selenide by X-ray and gamma-ray spectrometry

14 MeV neutron activation of ternary copper silver selenide gives rise to a predominant activity from the 0.511 MeV annihilation peak from the three elements when -ray spectrometry is used. To overcome the interference problems, X-ray spectrometry was applied to the simultaneous nondestructive determination of silver and selenium, after which copper can be determined by -ray spectrometry. The results of analysis show a relative error not higher than ±5%, when the samples were diluted with H₃BO₃ /90%/ to minimize the interelement effects.     

Study of the thermal decomposition processes of clathrate compounds

The decompositions of the clathrate compounds [M(NCS)₂(4-MePy)₄]·nG (whereM=Mn, Co, Ni or Cd;G=4-methylpyridine (4-MePy), benzene or xylenes) were studied on a Q-derivatograph under quasi-equilibrium conditions and with linear heating. These clathrates can be divided into two groups, in which the loss of guest is either (I) accompanied by destruction of the host complex, or (II) occurs before decomposition of the host complex. Kinetic parameters were obtained.

Kinetic investigations of the formation of carbonate sodalite

The kinetics of sodium carbonate formation within a sodalite matrix by an intracage reaction of hydrothermally grown basic nitrite sodalite and carbon dioxide has been studied. This heterogeneous reaction inside the sodalite cages was followed in the 773 K–1153 K temperature interval by thermogravimetry, IR-spectroscopy, as well as X-ray powder diffraction. The weight uptake during heating and the increase of the unit cell volume has been discussed to describe the imbibition of CO₂ and the resulting intra-cage carbonate formation.
