Modification of Fe species in FeNaY zeolite by NaCl treatment

The treatment of Fe(III)NaY zeolite with NaCl solution does not lead to a back-exchange of ferric species but the cationic Fe rearranges into new complexes which are more deeply reduced by hydrogen and less self-reduced by vacuum heat treatment than the parent Fe species in FeNaY zeolite.

Thermal properties of the clathrate compounds of binary cyanides

The stoichiometry of thermal decomposition of a particular group of clathrate compounds, of the type Cd(en)Pd(CN)₄·2G, with the same coordination component but different clathrate-enclosed components, was investigated. Irrespective of the experimental conditions, the liberation of the enclosed component G always proceeded in one step. Thermal investigation of the decomposition stoichiometry under identical experimental conditions showed that the temperature intervals in which the enclosed components are given off shift to lower temperatures in the order C₆H₅OH=> C₆H₆ > > C₄H₅N > C₄H₄S. Diffraction measurements indicated a considerable change in the structures of the original clathrate compounds after thermal release of the enclosed componentG.

Zusammenfassung Die Stöchiometrie der thermischen Zersetzung einer bestimmten Gruppe von Klathratverbindungen vom Typ Cd(en)Pd(CN)₄·2G mit der gleichen Koordinationskomponente und verschiedenen Klathrat-Einschlußkomponenten wurde in dieser Studie untersucht. Ungeachtet der Versuchsbedingungen vollzieht sich die Freisetzung der eingeschlossenen KomponenteG stets in einer Stufe. Die unter gleichen Versuchsbedingungen durchgeführte thermische Untersuchung der Zersetzungsstöchiometrie zeigte, daß die Temperaturbereiche, in denen die eingeschlossenen Komponenten freigesetzt werden in der Reihenfolge C₆H₅OH > C₆H₆ > C₄H₅N > C₄H₄S in Richtung der niedrigeren Temperaturwerte verschoben werden. Die Diffraktionsmessungen weisen darauf hin, daß eine beträchtliche Änderung der Struktur der ursprünglichen Klathratverbindung nach thermischer Freisetzung der eingeschlossenen KomponenteG sichtbar wird.

Résumé Dans cette étude on a établi la stoechiométrie de la décomposition thermique d'un groupe particulier de clathrates du type Cd(en)Pd(CN)₄·2G, avec le même composant de coordination et différents composants occlus. Indépendamment des conditions d'expériences, la libération du composant occlusG s'effectue toujours en une étape. L'étude thermique de la stoechiométrie de la décomposition effectuée dans les mêmes conditions d'expériences, a montré que les intervalles des températures dans lesquels les composants occlus sont libérés, se déplacent vers les températures plus faibles dans l'ordre suivant: C₆H₅OH > C₆H₆ > > C₄H₅N > C₄H₄S. Les mesures de diffraction indiquent qu'après la libération thermique du composant occlusG, une variation considérable de la structure initiale des clathrates originaux apparaît.

Inductive hydrogen formation in the oxidation of ascorbic acid by nitrosylpentacyanoferrate(II)

In the first period of the reaction at pH 8 slow evolution of CO₂ and N₂O was observed. After gas evolution ceased, on adding NaOH, formation of N₂O again and, unexpectedly, H₂ was found. The amount of H₂ was measured as a function of reaction conditions. Illumination with visible light and the excess of the oxidant promote hydrogen evolution. The experiments in D₂O resulted in H₂, HD and D₂. The non-statistical isotope distribution was interpreted by a kinetic isotope effect.

Thermal and photochemical stability of polystyrene and its blends with polyvinyl chloride

The influence of some irregularities in polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) chains on their thermal stability was investigated. UV irradiation caused an increase in the content of these irregularities in the polymers. It was found that the presence of carbonyl groups and crosslinking of the polymer chains hamper the thermal dehydrochlorination of PVC and the total decomposition of both polymers. On the other hand, weak peroxy linkages (which facilitate degradation processes) and conjugated double bonds decrease the temperature of total decomposition of PS and PVC blends.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde der Einfluß von Unregmlmäßigkeiten in Polystyrol (PS)- und Polyvinylchlorid (PVC)-Ketten auf deren thermische Stabilität untersucht. UV-Bestrahlung verursacht ein Ansteigen des Gehaltes an Unregelmäßigkeiten in den Polymeren. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Gegenwart von Carbonylgruppen und Querverbindungen der Polymerketten die thermische Dehydrochlorierung von PVC und eine vollständige Zersetzung beider Polymere verhindern. Andererseits senken Peroxidverknüpfungen (die die Degradierungsvorgänge erleichtern) und konjugierte Doppelbindungen die Temperatur für eine vollständige Zersetzung von PS und PVC Gemischen.

Developpement de la methode thermique de mesure de la tension superficielle liquide-solide

A thermal method connects the solid-liquid surface tension/s of a substance to its triple point temperature depression. Here a practical process for application of this method is described. A previous determination of the thickness of the condensate layer which does not freeze near the wall of the porous material is no longer necessary. The process is applied to some organic substances and to a metal (indium).

Eine vorangehende Bestimmung der Dicke der Kondensatschicht, deren Aggregatzustand sich bei Kontakt mit dem porösen Material nicht ändert, ist überflüssig. Die Methode wird auf einige organische Verbindungen und ein Metall (Indium) angewandt.

Influence of pressure reduction on the shapes of thermoanalytical curves of red muds

The effect of reduction of pressure on the shapes of the TG, DTG and DTA curves and the mass-spectra of hydroxide and carbonate phases was investigated in some typical Hungarian red muds. The pressure change caused different decomposition rates of the phases and resulted in better separation of the overlapping thermal curves; this led to advantages as regards phase analysis. For phase analysis the red muds were extracted with water, and the extracts and solid residues were identified by IR- and X-ray methods.

Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung der Druckänderung auf die Form der TG-, DTG- und DTA-Kurven, sowie der MS-Spektra der Hydroxid- und Carbonatphasen in einigen typischen ungarischen Rotschlamm-Sorten wurde geprüft. Die Druckänderung verursachte verschiedene Zersetzungsgeschwindigkeiten der Phasen, führte zur besseren Auftrennung der sich überlappenden thermischen Kurven, und war ausserdem auch hinsichtlich der Phasenanalyse vom Vorteil. Zur Phasenanalyse wurden die Rotschlämme mit Wasser extrahiert und die Extrakte und festen Rückstände mittels IR- und Röntgenmethoden identifiziert.

Résumé On a étudié dans quelques espèces typiques de boues rouges de Hongrie l'effet des variations de pression sur la forme des courbes TG, TGD et ATD ainsi que les spectres de masse des phases hydroxyde et carbonate. La variation de la pression entraîne des vitesses de décomposition différentes. Il en résulte une meilleure séparation des phénomènes dans le cas où ceux-ci se chevauchent ainsi que des avantages du point de vue de l'analyse des phases. L'analyse des phases présentes dans les boues rouges a été effectuée par extraction à l'eau. Les extraits et les résidus solides ont été identifiés par spectrométrie infrarouge et par diffraction des rayons X.

Fossil age determination by thermal analysis

Subsequent to a comparative examination of recent bone material the author has recently completed the paleobiogeochemical evaluation of classical Quaternary and Pliocene terrestrial fossils of vertebrata from Hungary. A derivatograph (MOM) has been used to determine two thermoanalytical parameters which are closely associated with the passage of geological time: the total bound organic-matter content of the fossil and the fossilization cofficient.Derivatographic measurement of the organic matter in the bones is supplemented by fine-structure analysis of bone-tissue slides.Sample material of unknown age from several provenances was evaluated with the new dating method. The importance of the procedure is even greater in cases when only indefinite sporadic finds can be obtained from the sediments.

Die Bedeutung des Verfahrens ist in den Fällen noch grösser, wenn aus den Sedimenten nur unbestimmte sporadische Funde erhalten werden können.

The thermometric and enthalpimetric determination of organic compounds

Two main parameters determine the methods for the assay of organic compounds in industrial systems; these are the rates of reaction of the molecular organic and often non-aqueous systems which differ from those in ionic and aqueous systems, and secondly, the fact that in most organic systems an organic functional group is required to be determined by a general method applicable to the functional group in a variety of chemical environments. In pharmaceutical products it is desired to determine the functional groups without prior separation from excipients of various kinds and to obtain rapid assays, often with precision much lower than those normally required in inorganic systems. These methods are discussed with examples taken from the foodstuff industry, the pharmaceutical industry, etc.

Studies of n-octane transformations on zeolites under hydrocracking conditions in a two-reactor flow-circulation system

Transformations of n-octane under hydrocracking conditions in a two-reactor flow-circulation system have been studied. It has been established that at high hydro-dehydrogenation activity of zeolite catalysts the reaction mechanism involves an initial step of paraffin dehydrogenation on a metal component and subsequent steps of cracking, isomerization and disproportionation of intermediate olefins on an acid component. Sodium content in zeolite determines the paraffin hydrocracking selectivity.

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.
