Toluene disproportionation and coke formation over fluorided alumina and hydrogen-mordenite

Toluene transformation was investigated on a fluorided alumina and a protonic mordenite under hydrogen (0.8, 12 bar) and under nitrogen (12 bar). Hydrogen pressure considerably improves the catalytic stability of H-mordenite by inhibiting the formation of coke. Moreover, hydrogen eliminates part of the coke deposited by reaction under nitrogen, and regenerates the activity of the mordenite. On the contrary, hydrogen has no effect in the case of fluorided alumina. The particular behavior of the mordenite is attributed to its very strong acidity.

Combination and disproportionation of methyl and 2-propyl radicals with 1,1,2-trimethylallyl radicals

The combinations and disproportionations of the CH₃ and 2-propyl (iP) radicals with the 1,1,2-trimethylallyl (TMA) radical have been studied in the gas phase in the temperature interval of 389–451 K and 490–540 K, respectively. For the ratios of the terminal (t) and non-terminal (n) combinations of the CH₃ and iP radicals with the TMA radical, values of 1.9±0.1 and 2.84±±0.10 were obtained, respectively. The ratios of the tt and tn and nn to tn combinations of the TMA radical were 1.59 and 0.46, respectively. The disproportionation-combination rations were (CH₃ , TMA)=0.022±±0.012 and (iP, TMA)=0.026±0.011.

Autocatalysis in the formose reaction

It has been found that carbohydrates naturally present in ppm quantities in paraformaldehyde are the cause of the autocatalysis in the formose reaction of paraformaldehyde solutions. Paraformaldehyde sublimed into Ca(OH)₂ suspension was not transformed to sugars by formose reaction, only to methanol and formate by Cannizzaro reaction. A minute trace of glycolaldehyde — 3 ppm — was sufficient to initiate conventional autocatalysis. A formose reaction scheme in which formaldehyde reacts only with sugars by aldol condensation but not with itself is proposed.

Catalytic reaction of methane with carbon dioxide

High activities and selectivities of Ni on SiO₂ catalysts producing CO in the reaction of CH₄ with CO₂, have been obtained at relatively low temperatures. These aspects are considerably different from the activities or selectivities of other catalysts, and have been explained by assuming that the Ni on SiO₂ catalyst markedly suppresses carbon deposition.

Compounds responsible for the deactivation of H-USY zeolite during the alkylation of phenol with methanol

H-USY deactivates very rapidly during the alkylation of phenol with methanol at 200°C. The retention in the pores of compounds resulting from successive O- and C-alkylation of phenol (such as polymethylphenols and polymethylanisoles) is responsible for this deactivation. The retention of these compounds in the pores is not due to their steric blockage but to their low volatility and their strong adsorption.

A rapid method for catalyst activity measurements by combination of pulse reactor, mass spectrometer and process computer

The combination of a pulse reactor attached directly (without a separation column) to a mass spectrometer/process computer system is described. To obtain a conversion/temperature diagram for the dehydration and dehydrogenation of 2-butanol less than one hour is required. Therefore, the method can be used for rapid characterization or comparison of the activities of various samples.

Product selectivity and qualitative reaction scheme for the dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of n-butane over supported ruthenium at high temperature

The dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of n-butane (n-C₄) over a Ru–Al₂O₃ catalyst (0.849 w/w% Ru) have been studied at 490°C at different time factors. Some runs have also been made on pure -Al₂O₃ at 490°C and on Ru-black at temperatures between 100 and 490°C, feeding n-butane and hydrogen. The analysis of the selectivity vs. time factor allows to prove that the initial reactions taking place are n-C₄ dehydrogenation to 1-butene and 2-butenes and skeletal isomerization to isobutane. The initial molar selectivity to the n-butenes reaches about 70%. A qualitative reaction scheme is proposed.

Topological aspects of differential thermal analysis

The most important calorimetric methods have been reviewed: the differential thermal analysis (DTA) as basic disposition and the scanning calorimetry (DSC) as well as the adiabatic rate calorimetry (ARC). The thermal circuits of these are expressed by bond diagrams as conceived by topological thermodynamics. It has been stated that the heat flux associated with the process of transformation is virtually (uncompensated) transferred in the DTA system, really transferred (compensated) in the DSC and ARC systems, between the two containers through a transfer medium assumed to be purely dissipative.

Die thermischen Kreise derselben werden durch Bindungsdiagramme, wie sie an Hand der topologischen Thermodynamik erhalten werden, ausgedrückt. Es wurde festgestellt, dass die Wärmeströmung mit dem Umwandlungsprozess assoziiert scheinbar (unkompensiert) in das DTA-System, wahrhaftig (kompensiert) in die Systeme DSC und ARC übertragen wird, undzwar zwischen den zwei Behältern durch ein als rein zerstreuend angenommenes Transfermedium.

Les circuits thermiques de ces techniques s'expriment par des diagrammes de liaisons comme ceux conçus par la thermodynamique topologique. On établit que le flux de chaleur associé au processus de la transformation est virtuellement transferré (sans compensation) en ATD et réellement transferré (avec compensation) en DSC et ARC, entre les deux conteneurs par un milieu de transfert supposé être purement dissipatif.

Thermal decomposition of CaCO3 in the presence of calcium fluoride

The thermal decompositoon of calcium carbonate mixed with calcium fluoride was examined by means of simultaneous TG, DTG and DTA. The temperature range of CaCO₃ decomposition shifted to higher temperatures as a result of CaCO₃-CaF₂ eutectic formation. The temperature of melting of this eutectic was in the temperature range of CaCO₃ decomposition, and therefore all factors which increase the partial pressure of CO₂ (such as the thickness of the sample layer, the shape of the crucible, the heating rate, etc.) influence the amount of the liquid phase. The DTA curves can be regarded as the sum of three endothermic effects occurring almost simultaneously: decomposition of CaCO₃ in the solid phase, melting of the eutectic, and decomposition of CaCO₃ present in the liquid phase.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Calciumcarbonat-Calciumfluorid-Mischungen wurde durch simultane TG-DTG-DTA untersucht. Der Bereich der CaCO₃-Zersetzung wird infolge der Bildung des CaCO₃-CaF₂-Eutektikums zu höheren Temperaturen verschoben. Die Schmelztemperatur dieses Eutektikums liegt im Temperaturbereich der CaCO₃-Zersetzung, deshalb haben alle Faktoren, die den Partialdruck des CO₂ beeinflussen (Schichtdicke der Probe, Tiegelgeometrie, Aufheizgeschwindigkeit usw.) auch Einfluss auf die Menge der entstehenden flüssigen Phase. Die DTA-Kurven entstehen durch Überlagerung von 3 endothermen Effekten, die fast gleichzeitig ablaufen: Zersetzung von CaCO₃ in fester Phase, Schmelzen des Eutektikums, Zersetzung von CaCO₃ in flüssiger Phase.

Concurremment une réaction de dismutation intervient avec formation de FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ et FeS₂. Lorsque la température atteint 320°, la pyrite et le sulfate réagissent ensemble pour donner Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ et SO₂. Au-delà de 370° le sulfure ferreux non-stchiométrique commence à réagir à son tour avec le sulfate restant pour former de la magnetite et du dioxyde de soufre.
