Investigation of reaction products of sulphuric acid with ilmenite

The reaction of sulphuric acid with titanium raw materials runs violently with simultaneous emission of gases. Such run of reaction creates danger of explosion. This process is very complicated from the reason of complexity of reactions and variety of compounds in reaction mixture. To determine safe conditions of reaction with high efficiency, it is necessary to investigate phase composition products of reaction. Products of reaction were investigated by using X-ray diffraction. However reaction products show high amorphy and this is the reason of difficulties to determine all phases. For this reason also was used additional method — ‘drop’ calorimeter. This method is used for determination of average specific heat of liquid or solid samples. In this case, this method was used for verification of phase composition of products of reaction. On the basis of investigation the phase composition of reaction product is following: titanyl sulfate, iron(III) sulfate, monohydrated iron(II) sulfate, magnesium sulfate and unreacted remainders of ilmenite and magnesium silicate.     

Bimetallic Pd/Sn-based Nanoparticles and their Catalytic Properties in the Semihydrogenation of Diphenylacetylene

Multimetallic nanoparticles often enhance the catalytic performance of their monometallic counterparts by increasing reaction rates, catalyst selectivity, and/or stability. A prerequisite for understanding structure- and composition-associated properties, however, is the careful design of multimetallic nanoparticles with various structures and compositions. Here, bimetallic Pd/Sn-based nanoparticles are prepared with a tunable composition and structure exploiting ionic liquids (ILs) as reaction medium (i. e., methyltrioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide). The nanoparticles are obtained in a one-pot synthetic procedure by reducing the metal salt precursors with triethylborohydride in the IL. The results show that the reaction parameters, in particular the nature and ratio of the Pd²⁺/Sn²⁺ precursors as well as the reaction temperature, influence NP formation and composition. X-ray diffraction with Rietveld analysis and transmission electron microscopy are employed to determine NP size and phase composition. Under optimized reaction conditions Pd₂Sn or PdSn nanocrystals are formed as single-phase products after introducing an additional annealing step at 200 °C. Nanocrystals with intermetallic composition reveal enhanced catalytic properties in the semihydrogenation of diphenylacetylene which was used as a model reaction.

Products characterization of tung oil–phenol reactions based on analysis of a model reaction

A method of determining the molecular species composition distributions of products obtained by reaction of tung oil with various phenols in the presence of acid catalyst has been studied. Methyl α-eleostearate was used as a model substance in place of tung oil. The product composition analysis of methyl α-eleostearate reactions with phenols was done by HLC. From these results, the molecular weight distributions and molecular species composition distributions of the reaction products were calculated according to a statistical procedure. Good agreement was found between the calculated and experimental molecular weight distribution, which enabled prediction of the molecular species composition distribution.     

Polyvinylchloride stabilisation with organo-tin compounds—Part 1: Mechanism of the reaction of thioglycolate derivatives with allylic chlorine model compounds

Mixtures of the isomers 4-chloro-hex-2-ene and 2-chloro-hex-3-ene of different compositions were prepared in order to study their reaction with organo-tin thioglycolate. Whatever the initial composition of the mixture, the same composition of the isomeric products is obtained. This favours an ionic mechanism in which the rate-determining step is the formation of an allylic carbocation. The substitution reaction with free thioglycolate esters is more rapid than with the tin derivative. Thus, a second possible route for the stabilisation reaction can be proposed.     

Evolution of the Ligand Shell Morphology during Ligand Exchange Reactions on Gold Nanoparticles

Ligand exchange reactions are used to achieve nanoparticles coated with a mixture of ligand molecules. Currently, nothing is known on the evolution of the morphology of the ligand shell during the reaction. Here, we use a recently developed method (based on MALDI‐TOF) to follow the evolution of the ligand shell composition and morphology during the reaction. We observe the expected evolution in composition and we find that the ligand shell starts as a random mixture and gradually evolves towards a patchy morphology. When the composition has reached a plateau (i.e. when the reaction is generally assumed to be finished), the ligand shell morphology keeps evolving for days, slowly approaching its equilibrium configuration.     

Propagation Mechanism of Radical Copolymerization of Sulfur Dioxide and Vinyl Chloride

Radical copolymerization of sulfur dioxide and vinyl chloride (VC) has been studied by the comparison of the composition of copolymers obtaining from different reaction conditions, i.e., reaction temperatures, feed compositions, and total monomer concentrations. The composition of VC in copolymer is independent of comonomer composition except at high concentration of VC in feed; it increases with increasing reaction temperature or decreasing total monomer concentration. At lower temperature, the composition of copolymer becomes independent of total monomer concentration. The overall rate of polymerization is proportional to [VC]^1,7 and [SO₂]^0.5. These results were compared with those obtained in our previous study on the SO₂-styrene copolymerization. A propagation mechanism for radical copolymerization of SO₂ and VC is also proposed.     

Friedel–Crafts alkylation reactions in pyridinium-based ionic liquids

The Friedel–Crafts alkylations of benzene in pyridinium-based ionic liquids (ILs) were investigated. The effects of catalyst–IL composition, reactant composition, quantity of catalyst and reaction temperature on this reaction were studied. The reactions were found to proceed under mild conditions with conversion; a simple product isolation procedure was achieved. The ILs rendered this reaction green characteristics. The ILs could also be recycled and reused as opposed to traditional solvent–catalyst systems.

Influence of solution composition and iron powder characteristics on reduction of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol

Kinetics of the 2,4,6-trinitrophenol reaction with iron powder was investigated voltammetrically. The process was found to be mainly governed both by the iron powder characteristics and by the solution composition. Degradation kinetics was generally represented by a pseudo-first-order rate law. Consecutively, the 2,4,6-trinitrophenol reduction reaction rates for three fractions of iron powder as well as the effect of individual ions presented in the reaction system were evaluated. A correlation between the reaction rate and both the grain size of iron particles and the state of their surface was found. The effect of the reaction system composition was investigated for two types of buffered medium: Britton-Robinson buffer (boric acid, orthophosphoric acid, and glacial acetic acid) and acetate buffer solution (sodium acetate and acetic acid).

The role of the phase quasiequilibrium in the reaction system chlorotriorganosilane—water—acetone

On the basis of analysis of product composition in the hydrolytic polycondensation (HPC) of chlorotriorganosilanes, the parameters of the kinetic and the diffusion field, the zone of the reaction, and the region of the conodes of the phase diagrams are determined. It is suggested that the conodes correspond to a phase quasiequilibrium, which defines the composition of the reaction products. The results of this investigation confirm the previously discovered features of HPC of dichloromethylphenylsilanes: the formation of the siloxane bond during the hydrolysis of chloroorganosilanes by water mainly occurs in the organic phase of the system and proceeds as the heterofunctional polycondensation of the reaction products with the starting chloroorganosilanes. The role of the phase quasiequilibrium consists of the creation of a field of reagent concentration, based on which one can control the composition of the reaction products.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Coordination‐Directed Growth of Transition‐Metal–Crystalline‐Carbon Composites with Controllable Metal Composition

Transition‐metal–carbon (CTM) composites show ample activity in many catalytic reactions. However, control of composition, distribution, and properties is challenging. Now, a straightforward path for the synthesis of transition‐metal nanoparticles engulfed in crystalline carbon is presented with excellent control over the metal composition, amount, ratio, and catalytic properties. This approach uses molten monomers that coordinate metals ions at high temperature. At high temperatures, strong coordination bonds direct the growth of carbon material with homogeneous metals distribution and with negligible losses, owing to the liquid‐like reaction compared to the traditional solid‐state reaction. The strength of the approach is demonstrated by the synthesis of mono, binary, and trinary transition‐metal–crystalline‐carbon composites with tunable and precise elemental composition as well as good electrochemical properties as oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts.     

Development of an efficient and safe process for a grignard reaction via reaction caloremetry

A Grignard reaction of reactantA and phenyl magnesium chloride is used to make a pharmaceutical intermediate at the production scale. The elimination of protecting groups onA was proposed as a means to reduce synthesis costs. This new synthesis route, however, had process efficiency and safety issues associated with it: (1) build-up of unreactedA in the reactor, (2) influence ofA's particle size on the reaction rate, (3) the sensitivity of the reaction rate to the reaction temperature and to the (changing) solvent composition, and (4) the highly exothermic nature of the reaction.The Mettler RC1 Reaction Calorimeter was used to quantify the influence of solvent composition, temperature, and particle size on the reaction rate. Results indicated a dramatic effect of solvent composition and reaction temperature on the reaction rate; for example, over a temperature range of just 30°C, the reaction time decreased from more than a day to just a few minutes. At such high reaction rates, the vessel jacket could not remove the reaction heat sufficiently and the internal temperature rose adiabatically.These results were used to make process design and operation recommendations for safe and efficient plant operation with this modified Grignard reaction system.The authors would like to thank the following for their assistance in this work: E. Daugs for preparing the Grignard reagents, K.L. Gonzales for her help in running the experiments and in the subsequent data work-up; P.M. Russell for his assistance in the design of the slurry addition assembly, and K. Chritz and J. Engel for performing the HPLC analyses of the samples.

An evaluation of silver ionic transport in the mixed system (1−x)·CuI-x·Ag2MoO4 (0.15?x?0.6)

The origin and nature of correlation between silver ionic conduction and composition of various phases present in the case of the mixed system CuI-Ag₂MoO₄ were probed in terms of possible solid-state reactions. Detailed X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared, electrical transport studies involving ionic transport number data and electrical conductivity measurement were carried out in order to identify the reaction products. The feasible reaction products identified were found to determine the exact composition resulting from the completion of each solid-state reaction and hence the behavior of effective electric conduction.     

Studies on mechanism and kinetics of reaction of CuSO4 with Cu2SO2

The reaction of CuSO₄ with Cu₂SO₂ to give Cu₂SO₄ was studied. The influence of the degree of reaction, the initial mixture composition and the temperature upon the reaction rate and the product composition was discussed. It was found that the reaction starts above 710 K and pure Cu₂SO₄ can be obtained under strictly defined conditions.     

Crystallization-induced reactions of copolymers. II. Cis-trans isomerization of 1,4-poly-1,3-butadiene

The cis-trans photoisomerization reaction of 1,4-polybutadiene was carried out below the melting points on films of polymers containing high trans-1,4 contents. Under the proper conditions of temperature and polymer composition, the reaction was observed to undergo an anti-equilibrium behavior, which was attributed to an irreversible crystallization of repeating units after isomerization from cis to trans structure. As a result, the trans composition passed through a minimum with reaction time while crystallinity increased throughout the reaction, and unexpectedly the β crystalline form was observed well below the α–β transition temperature. The composition–time behavior observed was rationalized on the basis of incorporation of trans units into crystalline regions on the lamellar fold surfaces and discussed within the framework of the proposed requirements for crystallization-induced reactions of copolymers.     

Reactivity of Water and Alcohols toward Carbocations Generated in the Photolysis of 2,2,4,6-Tetramethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline

The rate constants of the decay of carbocation generated in the photolysis of 2,2,4,6-tetramethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline and the composition of reaction products were studied as a function of solvent composition in the mixtures H₂O–ROH and MeOH–ROH (R = Et, n-Pr, and i-Pr). The rate constants of carbocation decay in alcohols are more than 20 times higher than the corresponding rate constants in water. As follows from the composition of the products obtained in the photolysis in the alcohol–water mixtures, MeOH is only 1.4 times more reactive than water, and EtOH and n-PrOH are even less active than water. The inconsistency in the product composition in the mixtures and the values of the observed rate constants in these solvents was explained by the two-step mechanism of the reaction: the reversible formation of an adduct of the carbocation with the solvent components and subsequent proton transfer to the solvent to form the final product, with the first step determining the product composition and the second step determining the rate of carbocation decay. The relative rate constants of alcohols and water were determined for the two steps. The preferred solvation of the carbocation with water also contributes significantly to the reaction kinetics and the product composition in the water–alcohol solutions.
