Zur Theorie der Adsorption I

Zusammenfassung Es wird die Ableitung der nach Hüttig erweiterten Langmuirschen Adsorptions-Isotherme gegeben und zwischen dieser Gleichung und derjenigen von Brunauer, Emmett und Teller (BET) eine Kompromiß-Gleichung abgeleitet, welche sich den Beobachtungen besser anpaßt als die Isothermen von Hüttig beziehungsweise BET.Für September 1951 wird in New York im Rahmen der 75. Jubiläums-Tagung der American Chemical Society ein Symposium über Physikalische Adsorption von Gasen an festen Körpern geplant. Es ist zu erwarten, daß diese Tagung sich auch bemühen wird, den vorhandenen theoretischen Besitzstand zu vereinheitlichen und so weit als möglich auf eine gemeinsame Grundlage zu stellen. Unsere Mitteilungs-Reihe Zur Theorie der Adsorption ist bereits im Hinblick auf die daselbst zu erwartenden Diskussionen abgefaßt. In der vorliegenden I. Mitteilung wird zunächst versucht, die verschiedenen, auf den Langmuirschen Vorstellungskreis zurückgreifenden Theorien in ein System zu ordnen und damit in gegenseitige Beziehung zu setzen, worauf ein Vermittlungs-Vorschlag zwischen der Adsorptions-Isotherme von Brunauer, Emmett und Teller und der unsrigen folgt. In einer II. Mitteilung sollen an Hand eigener Experimente die Forderungen umschrieben werden, welche an das zur Theorienbildung verwendete Beobachtungs-Material gestellt werden müssen. In der III. Mitteilung werden die an dem System BaSO₄/H₂O bei verschiedenen Temperaturen bis zur Kondensation beobachteten Isothermen mitgeteilt und daran unser Vermittlungsvorschlag geprüft. In einer IV. Mitteilung soll ein zusammenfassender Überblick über die neueren, außerhalb des Langmuirschen Vorstellungs-Kreises stehenden Theorien gegeben werden.     

What’s CUR≟

The chapter of the student affiliates of the American Chemical Society at the University of Tennessee at Martin has won three commendable and eighteen consecutive outstanding ratings, the most consecutive ratings of any student affiliate chapter, from the Society Committee on Education of the American Chemical Society. The activities of the chapter involve a great deal of pedagogic or literal chemistry, that is the members learn and communicate several aspects of chemistry from the chapter programs. In addition, a special chemistry or camaraderie results when members prepare for and participate in the various club projects and activities. This article briefly describes specific activities of UTM student affiliates that help to develop both the literal and the special chemistry among members. Finally, The High School Science Bowl, which is a most electrifying and rejuvenating activity, is described in greater detail for the information of other chemistry clubs.     

Formation of hexagonal MoO3 upon the decomposition of silica-supported ammonium paramolybdate

Upon the decomposition of silica-supported ammonium paramolybdate, hexagonal MoO₃ is formed at 300–350 °C. Irreversible transformation of hexagonal to rhombic MoO₃ is observed with increasing calcination temperature. The hexagonal MoO₃ structure is probably stabilized by the insertion of ammonium and silicon ions into the lattice of molybdenum trioxide.

Asymmetric halogenation and hydrohalogenation of styrene in crystalline cyclodextrin complexes

Asymmetric halogenation and hydrohalogenation of styrene in microcrystalline cyclodextrin complexes were studied in the gas-solid state, and compared with the homogenous reactions in aqueous or dimethyl sulfoxide solutions. The gas-solid brominations in the - and -cyclodextrin complexes produced predominantly (–)-1,2-dibromo-l-phenylethane. The chiral induction for the reaction of the -cyclodextrin complex rose to 9 times that of the -cyclodextrin complex. Brominations in the homogenous solutions containing the - or -cyclodextrin complexes gave no dibromide but racemic bromohydrin. In the gas-solid chlorination, the -cyclodextrin complex gave (–)-dichloride,S-(+)-2-chloro-l-phenylethanol (14% ee) and (+)-1,2,2-trichloro-l-phenylethane, and the -cyclodextrin complex produced (+)-dichloride,S-(+)-chlorohydrin (8% ee) and (+)-trichloride. The chiral induction of the gas-solid halogenation using the solid cyclodextrin complexes is attributed to the ability to hold rigidly a chiral conformation of the crystalline state. However, the gas-solid hydrohalogenation all gave racemic products.Presented at the Fourth International Symposium on Inclusion Phenomena and the Third International Symposium on Cyclodextrins, Lancaster, U.K., 20–25 July 1986.     

The kinetics of the thermal degradation of calcium carbonate

The decomposition of calcium carbonate fine powder in a flowing nitrogen atmosphere has been investigated by non-isothermal thermogravimetry at heating rates in the range, 10–50 deg min^–1. The analog percentage weight change record was digitized at 1 deg intervals. The resulting data, transformed into dimensionless extents of reaction and calculated rates of reaction, was then subjected to the Arrhenius, Friedman and Generalized Kissinger analyses, using a recently developed FORTRAN program system. The value ofn namely 0.39 ±0.04, resulting when the data is analyzed assuming an nth order reaction, strongly indicates that the most probable rate controlling step is a three-dimensional diffusion process (D4 mechanism), withE=172.4 kJ·mol^–1 andA=1.97·10⁴ K^–1·min^–1. Reasons for the wide disparity in previously reported kinetic data are discussed.

Zusammenfassung Die Zersetzung von feinpulvrigem Calciumcarbonat im Stickstoffstrom wurde durch nicht-isotherme Thermogravimetrie bei Aufheizgeschwindigkeiten von 10–50 °C/min untersucht. Die analoge prozentuale Gewichtsverlustregistrierung wurde in Intervallen von einem Grad digitalisiert. Die erhaltenen, in solche eines dimensionslosen Reaktionsgradcs überführten Daten und berechnete Reaktionsgeschwindigkeiten wurden der Arrhenius-, der Friedmann- und einer verallgemeinerten Kissinger-Analyse unterzogen, wobei ein kürzlich aufgestelltes FORTRAN-Programm benutzt wurde. Der unter der Annahme einer Reaktion n-ter Ordnung fürn erhaltene Wert von 0.39 ±0.04 ist ein nachdrücklicher Hinweis darauf, daß der geschwindigkeitsbestimmende Schritt höchstwahrscheinlich ein dreidimensionaler Diffusionsprozeß (D4-Mechanismus) mitE=172.4 kJ·mol^–1 undA=1.97·10⁴ K^–1·min^–1 ist. Gründe für die weitreichende Verschiedenheit der bisher mitgeteilten kinetischen Daten werden diskutirt.

Gitoxigenin glycosides

Summary Three cardiac glycosides have been synthesized from gitoxigenin and D-glucose: gitoxigenin 3-O--D-glucopyranoside, gitoxigenin 16 -O- -D-glucopyranoside, and gitoxigenin 3, 16-di-O- -D-glucoside. The first glycoside, obtained with a yield of 49% on the weight of the initial aglycone, possesses a fairly high biological activity (0.25 mg/kg), while the other two, formed in a yield of about 0.3%, do not possess the action on the heart that is specific for the cardenolides.Khar'kov Chemical and Pharmaceutical Scientific-Research Institute.

Oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide: A tpr study on fresh and aged catalysts

The deactivation of a silver catalyst was investigated after six years of industrial production of ethylene oxide. Temperature-programmed reduction was used to characterize the chemical nature of the silver and its reactivity towards oxygen. The fresh and some aged catalysts were examined, also after different thermal treatments.During the industrial run, the surface species were modified and some oxygen diffused into the bulk of the metal. Aging caused permanent changes in the characteristics of the silver, resulting in a different interaction with oxygen. The TPR spectra exhibited a trend along the reactor axis, suggesting a correlation with the degree of deactivation of the catalyst.

Zusammenfassung Die Desaktivierung eines Silberkatalysators wurde nach 6-jährigem Einsatz zur industriellen Produktion untersucht. Temperaturprogrammierte Reduktion wurde angewandt, um die chemische Natur des Silbers und dessen Reaktivität gegenüber Sauerstoff zu charakterisieren. Frische und einige gealterte Katalysatoren wurden nach verschiedenen thermischen Vorbehandlungen untersucht. Die Alterung verursachte bleibende Veränderungen in charakteristischen Eigenschaften des Silbers, was in der unterschiedlichen Wechselwirkung mit Sauerstoff zum Ausdruck kommt. Die TPR-Resultate zeigen einen Trend entlang der Reaktorachse, was auf eine Korrelation mit dem Grad der Desaktivierung des Katalysators hindeutet.

The evaporation of potassium from phlogopite

The evaporation of potassium from phlogopite was investigated by roasting phlogopite with different chemical reagents. The possible reactions between reactants and the sample at different temperatures were investigated by thermogravimetry. Gypsum, calcite, sodium chloride, activated carbon, calcium chloride and fluoride were used as chemical reactants. Similar tests were carried out by batch experiments using muffle furnace and tube oven and finally the sample mixtures were heated in a vacuum. The use of a vacuum enabled an almost complete extraction of potassium in solid state at the lowest temperature so far investigated. The structure of phlogopite was shown to be destroyed by raising the temperature. The extraction of potassium from feldspar, a sample from Lohja, Finland was also investigated.

Zusammenfassung Beim Abrösten von Phlogopit mit verschiedenen chemischen Stoffen wurde das Verdampfen von Kalium aus Phlogopit untersucht. Die möglichen Reaktionen zwischen der Probe und der Reaktionspartnern bei verschiedenen Temperaturen wurden mittels Thermogravimetrie untersucht. Als Reaktant wurden Gips, Kalzit, Natriumchlorid, Aktivkohle, Kalziumchlorid und -fluorid verwendet. Ähnliche Untersuchungen wurden in Reihenexperimenten mittels Muffel- und Röhrenofen und letztlich durch Erhitzen der Proben im Vakuum durchgeführt. Die Anwendung von Vakuum ermöglicht bei den niedrigsten der angewendeten Temperaturen einen fast vollständigen Auszug des Kaliums aus dem Feststoff, Durch Erhöhen der Temperatur wurde die Struktur von Phlogopit nachweislich zerstört. Die Extraktion von Kalium aus einer Feldspatprobe aus Lohja, Finnland, wurde ebenfalls untersucht.

Analysis of gamma-radioactivity of “hot particles” released after the Chernobyl accident

A particulate form (hot particles) of the radioactive fallout in Poland after the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant has been studied. Parameters of the effective reactor campaign are obtained from the characteristics of -activity of the hot particles. The numerical INV program written to calculate time evolution of eight isotopes in the reactor is described. On the basis of these calculations the measured hot particles are classified into two groups: those originating from the first load and those from younger fuel rods. A procedure for dating younger hot particles is proposed. The results of the analyses constitute a basis for other investigations of hot particles.     

Generation of model reactions leading to limit cycle behavior

The system of differential equations by Feistel and Ebeling has been generalized. Some new formal kinetic reactions with two internal components, which may exhibit limit cycle behavior have been studied. Based upon the numerical integration of the deterministic models of these reactions the oscillatory character of the systems has been confirmed.

Kinetics of oxidative deamination of some amino acids by diperiodatoargentate(III) in alkaline medium

Kinetics of oxidation of some amino acids, viz. glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, phenylglycine and phenylalanine by diperiodatoargentate(III) have been investigated in alkaline medium. The order of the reaction is found to be one with respect to each reactant. The reaction rates are inversely dependent on both [OH^–] and [periodate]. The oxidation products are found to be ammonia and the corresponding keto acids. The presence of electron-withdrawing groups at the -carbon increases the rate of oxidation while the rate decreases with increasing alkyl chain length. A two-electron-transfer mechanism is proposed to explain the results.

Effect of the partial pressure of reactants on the selectivity of methylcyclopentane hydrogenolysis over a platinum catalyst

The kinetics of methylcyclopentane hydrogenolysis on a Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst (10% Pt) has been studied at 230°C. The selectivity to 2-methyl- and methylpentane formation depends on the partial pressures of the starting reactants (methylcyclopentane and hydrogen); the surface coverage by these reactants must be taken into account in selectivity studies.

Studies of Cu?Ni supported catalysts for enantioselective hydrogenation

The effect of support content and composition of supported metal phase on the crystallite size, phase composition and catalytic properties of supported Ni and Cu–Ni catalysts has been investigated. It has been established that with increasing metal content, crystallite sizes and enantioselectivity increase. Copper added to Ni catalysts decreases metal phase dispersity and enantioselectivity.
