Combinations of alkyl radicals with alkyl and substituted allyl radicals

In contrast with expectations based upon simple collision theory, reactions of alkyl radicals with substituted allyl radicals yield cross-combination ratios of =2. Reactions of CH ₃ ^\ with some C₅ radicals give >2, in accordance with theory.

Catalytic activity of honeycomb catalysts, I. The benzene-cyclohexane (de)hydrogenation reaction

Monolithic supported platinum catalysts were investigated with respect to their hydrogenation and dehydrogenation activity towards benzene and cyclohexane, respectively, between 250° and 350°C. Conversion of benzene to cyclohexane is optimal for the volume ratio H₂/Bz=5 at lower temperatures. In the cyclohexane dehydrogenation reaction, high temperatures, associated with lower N₂/Cy ratios, are beneficial. No byproducts were observed in the two reactions.

Kinetics of bromate-cerium(III) reaction

The induction period and the fast, and slow rates of the bromate-cerium(III) reaction were examined. It was found that the duration of the induction period was inversely proportional to both the bromate and acid concentrations, and that the fast reaction rate was proportional to the square of bromate concentration.

Investigation of surface phenomena on solid catalysts by simultaneous thermogravimetry and DTA

Thermogravimetry and simultaneous DTA were used to investigate the phenomena of adsorption, desorption and surface reactions on solid catalysts. The measurements were carried out with NaX and X-type ion-exchanged zeolites and silica-alumina gels (Ketjen) treated with sodium hydroxide in the presence of carbon dioxide. On the basis of the quantitative results it is possible to give an interpretation of the surface phenomena and to establish the existence of various active centres on the surfaces of the catalysts. In the case of the adsorption of carbon dioxide on X-type zeolites, the quantity of carbon dioxide adsorbed is much smaller on ion-exchanged zeolites than on NaX.

Zusammenfassung Thermogravimetrie und simultane DTA wurden zur Untersuchung der Adsorptions-, Desorptions-Erscheinungen und Oberflächenreaktionen an festen Katalysatoren eingesetzt. Die Messungen wurden and NaX und Zeolithen des Typs X sowie an Silika-Aluminiumoxidgelen Ketjen durchgeführt, welche mit Natriumhydroxid in Gegenwart von Kohlendioxid behandelt worden waren. Aufgrund der quantitativen Ergebnisse ist es möglich eine Deutung der Oberfiächenerscheinungen zu geben und die Existenz verschiedener aktiver Zentren an der Katalysatorenoberfläche nachzuweisen. Im Falle der Adsorption von Kohlendioxid an Zeolithen des Typs X ist die Menge des adsorbierten Kohlendioxids am Ionenaustauscher viel niedriger als am NaX.

Résumé Application de la TG et de l'ATD simultanées à l'étude des phénomènes d'adsorption, de désorption et de réactions de surface sur des catalyseurs solides. Les mesures ont été effectuées avec des zéolites échangeuses d'ions de type NaX et X ainsi qu'avec des gels Ketjen silice-alumine traités par NaOH en présence de CO₂. Les résultats quantitatifs permettent de donner une interprétation des phénomènes de surface et d'établir l'existence de divers centres actifs à la surface des catalyseurs. Dans le cas de l'adsorption de CO₂ sur les zéolites de type X, la quantité de CO₂ adsorbé est beaucoup plus faible que sur les zéolites de type NaX.

Coke deposition on naphtha reforming catalysts: I. Influence of the hydrocarbon feed

During hydrocarbons reactions over Pt/Al₂O₃ the catalyst is covered by coke. It is accepted that coke formation occurs on metal and acid sites. During normal heptane and methylcyclopentane reforming it was found that the nature and the rate of coke deposited on the catalyst surface was not same, depending on the structure of the hydrocarbon feed.

Calculation of the mass transfer coefficient with a chemical reaction in a gas-liquid system

A solution of the problem of mass transfer in a turbulent boundary layer has been obtained with a first-order chemical reaction occurring in the liquid phase. The dependence of the enhancement factor for absorption and of the mass transfer coefficient on the model parameters can be used for building up a hierarchic model of the gas-liquid reactor.

On the interpretation of differences in mechanisms, kinetics and dynamics of oxidation reactions on metal and oxide catalysts

Langmuir-Hinshelwood type mechanisms with competitive adsorption are suggested to be more typical for metal catalysts, since, unlike on oxide systems, oxidizable substance and molecular oxygen can be adsorbed on the same (reduced) active sites. Therefore, multiple steady states and critical phenomena are more characteristic for catalysis on metals.
