Morphology and structure of composite catalysts of nickel on metal-ceramic substrate

A catalyst grain is shown to consist of microparticles constituting a metal nucleus of aluminium covered by an oxide (-Al₂O₃) film. On this film a nickel-aluminium spinel is localized with metallic nickel (Ni⁰) particles on its surface. This morphological structure of catalysts accounts for the increased electron density on nickel particles and hence for the high catalytic activity in steam reforming of methane.

Catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide on RuFe/SiO2 catalysts

The H₂+CO reaction on silica supported Ru, Fe and RuFe catalysts prepared from metal carbonyl clusters has been investigated under atmospheric and 20 bar pressure. According to the change of selectivity values with temperature and with pressure, the participation of surface carbon proposed earlier by several authors seems to be confirmed by this work.

Thermal behaviour of copolymers of methyl methacrylate and iso-octyl/iso-decyl methacrylate

Thermal behaviour of copolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with iso-octyliso-decyl methacrylate was investigated using dynamic thermogravimetry, mass spectroscopy and pyrolysis gas chromatography. The copolymer samples were stable upto 250 °C. Total loss in weight was observed around 400 °C. The degradation in homopolymers as well as copolymers proceeded by predominans loss of monomer.

Catalytic reactions of ethanol on H3+xPMo12?xVxO40 catalysts

The catalytic decomposition of ethanol on heteropolyacids (HPA) of the series H_3+xPMo_12–xV_xO₄₀ (x=0,1,2,3) was investigated at 240°C, using a pulse method. It has been shown that besides ethyl ether, ethylene, acetaldehyde and unreacted alcohol, a certain amount of alcohol was irreversibly sorbed by HPA. The amount of the latter decreased with x, which is considered to be due to the tighter bonding of Keggin units (KU) with an increasing number of intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The yield of ethyl ether forming at the surface was almost constant but that of ethylene and acetaldehyde decreased in the series x=0,1,2, which was connected with the increasingly difficult penetration of HPA molecules into the bulk. Some differences in the behavior of the sample with x=3 were the result of partial decomposition of this thermally stable catalyst.

Effect of carbon dioxide on the catalytic oxidation of ethylene over silver. Reaction rates and composition of adsorbed layer

It has been found that when the reaction is carried out at pressures of the reaction mixture ranging from 1 to 400 Pa, small surface coverages by adsorbed oxygen, carbonate groups and irreversibly adsorbed carbon-containing particles are obtained. Rate relaxations are due to the concentration variations of adsorbed oxygen and CO_3ads groups.

Kinetic and mechanistic studies on the oxidation of arginine and histidine by chloramine-T in hydrochloric acid medium

The oxidation of amino acids by chloramine-T (CAT) in HCl medium at 30°C indicates simultaneous catalysis by H⁺ and Cl^– ions in the HCl concentration range of 0.04–0.12 M. The reaction is first order with respect to concentrations [CAT], [H⁺] and [arginine], but zero order with respect to [histidine]. The rate depends also on Cl^– concentration following 0.7th order. At HCl concentrations >0.12 M, the rate equation is:w=k[CAT] [amino acid]^0.6 and is independent of the [Cl^–]. A suitable mechanism has been suggested.
