Kinetics of thermal decomposition of pyrite in an inert atmosphere

The thermal decomposition of pyrite in an inert atmosphere was studied in order to obtain a detailed knowledge of the kinetics and mechanism of the reaction 2 FeS₂=2FeS+S₂, which is one of the methods of producing elementary sulphur. The process was studied under isothermal conditions at temperatures of 600, 660, 700, 750, 800 and 850 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere, by means of a thermobalance. The rate-controlling processes were determined and their kinetic parameters were calculated. The optimum temperature for the process was found to be 800 °C.

Reduction of benzylideneaniline over supported Pd catalysts

In this work we have carried out a study on the liquid phase hydrogenation of benzylideneaniline, using dihydrogen over various supported Pd catalysts. Benzyl-ideneaniline reduction can be classified as insensitive to the catalyst structure. On the other hand, no compensating effect has been observed in performing the reaction over different supported Pd catalysts.

Some comments on Prigogine's theories

Objections are raised against the theories of the Brussels group because they greatly exaggerate claims for the theory, neglect other relevant theories of themodynamics and overemphasize the role of the Poisson distribution. A necessary and sufficient condition will be given for (not necessary linear) simple birth-and-death processes to have a Poissonian stationary distribution.

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⁺.

The use of temperature to simplify formose sugar composition

Form ose reaction, the Ca(OH)₂ catalyzed condensation of HCHO to a complex mixture of sugars, does not lose its autocatalytic nature at 98°C. The induction period is 15 sec, and then, at 18% total HCHO conversion, there was a period of approximately 3 sec duration in which the reaction had produced C₆ sugars at 84.3 wt.% selectivity. Glucose amounted to 90% of those sugars, and no branched sugars were detected. Conversion was complete within 3 min. The simple nature of the product was lost at lower temperatures or higher conversions.

Thermische Zersetzung des Lithiumhexacyanoferrats(III)

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Lithiumhexacyanoferrat (III) in Luft führt in drei Temperaturbereichen, d.h. zwischen 250 und 400°, 500 und 650° und 925 und 1000° zur Bildung ferromagnetischer Produkte. Durch Röntgendiffraktionsuntersuchung und magnetische Messungen wurde bewiesen, daß im ersten Temperaturbereich-Fe₂O₃ die für die ferromagnetischen Eigenschaften der Zersetzungsprodukte verantwortliche Phase ist, während in den anderen Bereichen diese Eigenschaften durch Lithiumferrit der Formel Li_0.5Fe_2.5O₄ verursacht werden.

Poissonian stationary distribution in a class of detailed balanced reactions

We investigate those detailed balanced (vectorial) complex chemical reactions that belong to the class of simple Markovian population processes and show that there is no chemical reaction with independent reaction rates having a Poissonian stationary distribution. There exists, however, a manifold of reactions with dependent (as given) reaction rates and with Poissonian stationary distribution.

Microthermogravimetric studies of the kinetics and thermodynamics of heterogeneous reactions in sulfur-containing atmospheres

A thermobalance for studies of the high-temperature sulfidation of metals and alloys is described. This apparatus permits the determination of mass changes in the sulfidized sample as functions of temperature and sulfur vapour pressure with an accuracy of 10^–6 g. Besides heterogeneous kinetics measurements, it has been shown that the chemical diffusion coefficients and deviations from stoichiometry of metal sulfides can also be studied as functions of temperature and sulfur pressure by means of equilibration measurements.

Acid-base properties of supported vanadium oxide catalyst

Reduction of V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ and V₂O₅/silica-alumina produced Lewis acid sites which could strongly adsorb CO (heat of adsorption: 90 kJ/mol). Such strong acid sites were not formed in the cases of V₂O₅/SiO₂ and V₂O₅/MgO. V₂O₅ loaded on Al₂O₃ interacted with the basic sites of alumina but not with the acidic sites, while the V₂O₅ on silica-alumina interacted with the acidic sites of the silica-alumina and decreased its acidity.

Self-oscillations in the rate of CO oxidation on Pt(110)

The surface of Pt(110) was found to be metastable under the reaction conditions. The necessary condition for the appearance of self-oscillations in the system is the change of platinum surface properties under the action of reaction medium. Self-oscillations in the rate are maintained due to reversibility of these changes.

The effect of alkali metal admixtures (Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) on V/SiO₂ catalysts was studied by ESR spectroscopy. Alkali metals strongly change the VO²⁺ spectra. Reduction leads to spectra showing a slow rotational motion of VO²⁺ species on the support surface. The proposed explanation includes former structural models and the formation of salts of polyvanadium acid.

Displacement of hydrogen from rhodium surface by carbon monoxide under conditions of pulsed-gas chromatography

Interaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen on the surface of rhodium catalysts has been investigated under conditions of pulsed-gas chromatography within the temperature range of –80 to 500 °C. At temperatures up to about 180 °C adsorbed hydrogen was found to be displaced to the gaseous phase as a result of carbon oxide adsorption. At higher temperatures conversion of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to methane takes place.

Preparation and investigations of polyimides III

Polyamide acid powders of pyromellitic dianhydride and 4,4-diaminodiphenyl ether base were prepared in tetrahydrofuran, in the heterogeneous phase. The imidization of these powders was investigated by thermogravimetric, calorimetric and mass-spectrometric methods.According to the TG and DSC data, the temperatures of the beginning and maximum rate of imidization increase with increasing temperature and duration of imidization.A linear relationship has been found to exist between the weight loss and the reaction heat of the imidization process. The reaction heat corresponding to unit weight loss increases with decreasing molecular weight.Dicarboxylic anhydrides, applied as chain-terminators, do not affect the thermal properties of polyamide acids to an appreciable extent.Imidization has been found to be a complex process, in which decomposition of polyamide acids also takes place besides dehydrocyclization. The kinetics of imidization are satisfactorily described by a first-order dehydrocyclization and a parallel first-order decomposition. The weight loss during imidization is higher than the loss calculated on the basis of dehydrocyclization, which must be due to the release of the decomposition products of the polyamide acid, the release of solvated or complexed tetrahydrofuran, or that of possible oligomeric clusters.

Zusammenfassung Polyamidsäurepulver von Pyromellitdianhydrid und 4,4-Diamino-diphenyläther wurden in Tetrahydrofuran in heterogener Phase hergestellt. Die Imidisierung dieser Pulver wurde durch thermogravimetrische, kalorimetrische und Massenspektrometrische Methoden verfolgt.Nach TG- und DSC-Angaben steigt die Temperatur des Beginns und der Maximalgeschwindigkeit der Imidisierung mit steigender Temperatur und Imidisierungsdauer an.Ein linearer Zusammenhang wurde zwischen Gewichtsverlust und Reaktionswärme des Imidisierungsvorgangs gefunden. Die der Einheit des Gewichtsverlustes entsprechende Reaktionswärme nimmt mit abnehmendem Molekulargewicht zu.Als Kettenende angewandte Dicarboxylanhydride beeinflussen die thermischen Eigenschaften der Polyamidsäuren nicht in merklichem Maße.Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Imidisierung ein komplexer Vorgang ist, in dem außer der Dehydrocyclisierung auch eine Zersetzung der Polyamidsäuren stattfindet. Die Kinetik der Imidisierung kann durch eine Dehydrocyclisierung erster Ordnung und eine parallele Zersetzungsreaktion erster Ordnung befriedigend beschrieben werden. Der Gewichtsverlust während der Imidisierung ist höher als der aufgrund der Dehydrocyclisierung berechnete Verlust, was der Abspaltung von Zersetzungsprodukten der Polyamidsäure, der Freisetzung von solvatiertem oder komplexgebundenem Tetrahydrofuran oder eventueller oligomerer Einschlüsse zuzuschreiben ist.

Résumé Les polyamides en poudre résultant du dianhydride pyromellitique et de l'éther 4,4-diaminodiphénylique ont été préparés en phase hétérogène dans le té trahydrofuranne. La formation d'imides à partir de ces poudres a été étudiée par thermogravimétrie, calorimétrie et spectrométrie de masse.D'après les résultats obtenus par TG et DSC, les températures du début de la formation d'imide et la vitesse maximale de la réaction augmentent avec l'accroissement de la température et de la durée de la réaction.On a trouvé une corrélation linéaire entre la perte de poids et la chaleur de formation de l'imide. La chaleur de réaction correspondant à l'unité de perte de poids augmente quand le poids moléculaire diminue.Les anhydrides dicarboxyliques utilisés en bouts de chaines n'ont pas d'effet appréciable sur les propriétés thermiques des polyamides.On a établi que la formation d'imide est un processus complexe, au cours duquel, outre la déshydrocyclomérisation, une décomposition des polyamides a également lieu. La cinétique de la réaction peut être décrite de façon satisfaisante par une déshydrocyclomérisation du premier ordre et une réaction de décomposition parallèle également du premier ordre. Lors de la formation d'imide la perte de poids est plus élevée que celle calculée à partir de la déshydrocyclomé risation, ce qui provient sans doute du dégagement des produits de décomposition du polyamide, du dégagement du tétrahydrofuranne solvaté ou complexé ou bien de celui des inclusions oligomères éventuelles.
