Application of emissionless infrared diffuse reflectance spectrometry for following reactions of adsorbed alcohols on an alumina catalyst

IR spectra of adsorbed alcohols on alumina were measured under the reaction conditions at elevated temperatures. The transient response of IR absorption intensity indicates that alkoxides are reactive adsorbed species but carboxylates are not. The rate constants of surface reactions were calculated from the transient response.

Study of thermal stabilities of some heat transfer oils

This paper discusses the thermal behaviour and stabilities of some heat transfer fluids. These included four solvent-refined mineral oils, two aromatic extracts and two synthetic oils. Results of this thermoanalytical investigation, which simulated different atmospheric conditions, showed the synthetic oils to have higher thermal stabilities than those of the other oils.The refined mineral oils exhibited higher thermal stabilities than those of the aromatic extracts when studied under a static air atmosphere. This behaviour was reversed when the experiment was performed under a confined atmosphere of air.These observations are attributed mainly to the environmental changes and also to the compositions of these products.

Zusammenfassung Das thermische Verhalten und die Stabilität einiger Wärmeübertragungsflüssigkeiten werden diskutiert. Die Untersuchung erstreckt sich auf vier mit Lösungsmittel raffinierte Mineralöle, zwei Aromatenextrakte und zwei synthetische Öle. Aus den Ergebnissen thermoanalytischer Untersuchungen, bei denen verschiedene atmosphärische Bedingungen simuliert wurden, folgt, daß die synthetischen Öle ein höhere thermische Stabilität als die anderen Öle aufweisen. In statischer Luftatmosphäre ist die thermische Stabilität der raffinierten Mineralöle höher als die der Aromatenextrakte. In einer limitierten Luftatmosphäre kehrt sich dagegen dieses Verhalten um. Diese Beobachtungen werden hauptsächlich Veränderungen in der Umgebung und der Zusammensetzung dieser Produkte zugeschrieben.

Changes in the surface characteristics of residues from the thermal decomposition of nickel oxysalts

The changes in surface area and density which occur during the decomposition of eight nickel oxysalts have been reported. Surface area peaks were observed in the temperature range 473 K to 673 K. An equation relating to the number of product particles (n) produced from a single particle of original material has been derived. Logn was shown to vary linearly with temperature, wheren is the number of product particles formed from one original reactant particle.

Non-catalyzed oscillation reaction in the aniline-KBrO3?H2SO4 system. II. Reaction products and their oscillating behavior

By means of thin-layer and gas chromatography the reaction products have been determined in the oscillation system of aniline, KBrO₃ and H₂SO₄. These products include: 2-bromoaniline, 4-bromoaniline, 2,4-dibromoaniline, 2,4,6-tribromoaniline, 1,4-benzoquinone, 2-bromo-1,4-benzoquinone, 2,6-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone and a brominated oxidation product. The brominated aniline derivatives do not exhibit an oscillating behavior, and the addition of these substances to an oscillating mixture damps the course of other oscillations.

Thermal properties of elastin-fatty acid complexes

Differential scanning calorimetry has been applied to study the interaction of fibrous or of soluble elastin with fatty acids and their trialanine derivatives. The DSC curves of elastin-fatty acid preparations exhibited an endothermic transition in the temperature range - 10° to + 50°. The peak temperatures and the enthalpy changes were independent of the chain length and of the saturation of the fatty acid. The interaction with the trialanine derivatives was similar to that with the fatty acids.Such interactions between elastin and lipids might take place in vivo as well, resutling in the loss of elasticity of elastin fibres and consequently in the development of arteriosclerotic lesions.

Zusammenfassung Zur Untersuchung der Wechselwirkung zwischen dem fibrösen oder lösbaren Elastin, und den Fettsäuren und ihren Trialanin-Derivaten wurde die DSC-Methode angewandt. Die DSC-Kurven der Elastin-Fettsäure-Präparate zeigten in dem Temperaturbereich von - 10° bis + 50° einen endothermischen Übergang. Die Peak-Temperaturen und die Änderungen der Enthalpie waren von der Kettenlänge und der Sättigung der Fettsäure unabhängig. Die Wechselwirkung mit den Trialanin-Derivaten war der mit den Fettsäuren ähnlich.Solche Wechselwirkungen zwischen Elastin und den Lipiden können auch in vivo stattfinden, und die Abnahme der Elastizität der Elastin-Fibern, und folglich die Entfaltung der arteriosklerotischen Schädigungen resultieren.

Parametric sensitivity of complex temperature-programmed desorption,reaction and reduction

Through simulation of the temperature-programmed desorption, reaction and reduction in a system of parallel reactions. it is shown that the experimental conditions influence the simultaneous or consecutive occurrence of the individual reactions of the system. Adjustment of the concentration of a gaseous reaction component or optimization of the temperature program results in a shift to the desired consecutive occurrence of the reactions. Therefore, a better resolution of the individual reactions can be achieved through a judicious choice of the experimental conditions of the temperature-programmed methods.

Zusammenfassung Durch Simulierung temperaturprogrammierter Desqrption, Reaktion und Reduzierung in einem System von Parallelreaktionen konnte gezeigt werden, daß die experimentellen Bedingungen die Simultanität bzw. Konsekutivität der Einzelreaktionen des Systems beeinflussen. Durch eine Einstellung der Konzentration der gasförmigen Reaktionsprodukte oder durch Optimalisierung des Temperaturprogrammes kann eine gewünschte Folge der Einzelreaktionen erreicht werden. Somit kann durch eine geschickte Wahl der experimentellen Bedingungen bei temperaturprogrammierten Verfahren eine bessere Separierung der Einzelreaktionen erreicht werden.

Dehydration-dehydrogenation of 1- and 2-butanols on lanthanide oxide catalysts

Catalytic decomposition of 1- and 2-butanols on the rare earth oxides CeO₂, Pr₆O₁₁, and Me₂O₃ (Me=La, Sm, Eu, Dy, Ho and Yb) has been studied. Dehydration-dehydrogenation selectivity of these oxides was analyzed from the point of view of the fractional selectivity (S_F). For the decomposition of 2-butanol and the product distribution on the lanthanide oxides, preferential orientation to Hofmann olefin as well as a cis/trans ratio slightly higher than that of the equilibrium value is observed.

On the calculation of activation energies using a modified Kissinger method

Augis and Bennett (J. Thermal Anal. 13 (1978) 283.) [6] recently proposed a modified Kissinger method for determining the activation energy of a transformation. It is shown that the proposed method was, in fact, based upon a modification to the equation for the rate of reaction under non-isothermal conditions. The apparent discrepancy between the proposed method and the original Kissinger method is therefore resolved. The modified rate equation appears to have, at best, only a limited application. However, if the equation should be appropriate for a particular transformation, it is demonstrated that Augis and Bennett's method would be the correct method for determining the activation energy.

Zusammenfassung Von Augis und Bennett (J. Thermal Anal.13, (1978) 283) wurde eine modifizierte Kissinger-Methode zur Bestimmung der Aktivierungsenergie einer Umwandlung vorgeschlagen. Es wird gezeigt, dass die vorgeschlagene Methode tatsächlich in einer Modifizierung der Gleichung für die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit unter nicht-isothermen Bedingungen ihren Ursprung hat. Die scheinbare Diskrepanz zwischen der vorgeschlagenen Methode und der ursprünglichen Kissinger-Methode wird dadurch behoben. Die modifizierte Geschwindigkeitsgleichung hat bestenfalls nur eine begrenzte Anwendung. Jedoch, bei Eignung dieser Gleichung für eine bestimmte Umwandlung zeigt sich, dass die Methode von Augis und Bennett die richtige Methode zur Bestimmung der Aktivierungsenergie sein kann.
