Carbon-supported sulfide bimetallic catalysts for hydrodesulfurization

It has been established that the activity of carbon-supported sulfide Ni–Mo, Ni–W and Co–Mo catalysts is much higher compared to the traditional -Al₂O₃ and SiO₂ supported systems. The effect of surface area of the support and of the catalyst composition on their catalytic properties has been studied.

Observation of vibration-electronic exchange in gas-surface collisions

Intensity increase of exoelectronic emission in the interaction of vibrationally excited hydrogen beam (v1) with emitter surface (CaSO₄) has been found. The effect proves to be due to the transfer of vibrational energy from molecules to trapped electrons, i.e. to the v-e transition in gas-surface collisions.

A comparison of the thermal behaviour of α-AIF3 and aluminium fluoride hydrates

The thermal decompositions of-AlF₃ · 3H₂O, AlF₃ · 3.5H₂O, AlF₃ · 1.5H₂O,-AlF₃ and hydroxyfluorides of aluminium were investigated. The literature data were complemented with X-ray results. The first stages of decomposition are described. The AlF₃ hydrates and hydroxyfluorides were used as model systems in order to interpret the thermal behaviour of -AlF₃ in more detail.

Thermal decomposition kinetics of bis(thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazonato) cobalt(II)

The thermal decomposition kinetics of thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complex of cobalt(II) has been studied using TG, DTG and DTA techniques. Its decomposition was subjected to critical evaluation using the equations of Freeman-Carroll, Horowitz-Metzger and Coats-Redfern and the kinetic parameters have been evaluated for each step of decomposition by the method of weighted least squares.

Influence of composition on the thermal behaviour of chemically deposited nickel-phosphorus alloys

The thermal behaviour of a series of Ni-P alloys obtained by electroless plating from chloride-glycollate solutions at different pH values was studied by means of DSC analysis and X-ray diffraction.Alloys of composition up to Ni₇₈P₂₂ are microcrystalline or partially amorphous, depending on the P content; on heating up to 773 K, the amorphous phase is transformed into an equilibrium mixture of Ni and Ni₃P crystals.Most of the alloys crystallize in two exothermic stages, these occurring ever closer to each other as the P concentration approaches the eutectic value; the alloys with near-eutectic compositions are the only ones crystallizing in one stage.The first thermal effect in hypo-eutectic alloys is due to the separation of Ni crystallites from the primary amorphous phase and/or to the growth of pre-existing solid-solution crystals; the second one is due to the crystallization of intermediate amorphous phase into Ni₃P plus Ni. The first stage of crystallization in hyper-eutectic alloys corresponds to the formation of randomly-oriented Ni₃P crystals, while in the second one the residual amorphous phase yields the eutectic mixture.

Zusammenfassung Das thermische Verhalten einer Reihe von durch stromlose Platierung mit Chlorid-Clykollat-Lösungen bei verschiedenen pH-Werten erhaltenen Ni-P-Legierungen wurde mittels DSC und Röntgendiffraktion untersucht. Legierungen mit einer Zusammensetzung bis Ni₇₈P₂₂ sind abhängig vom P-Gehalt, kristallin oder teilweise amorph. Beim Erhitzen auf 773 K wird die amorphe Phase in ein Gleichgewichtsgemisch von Ni- und Ni₃P-Kristallen überführt. Die meisten Legierungen kristallisieren in zwei exothermen Schritten, die sich einander umso mehr nähern, je mehr sich die P-Konzentration dem eutektischen Wert nähert. Als einzige kristallisieren die in der Zusammensetzung dem Eutektikum nahekommenden Legierungen in einem Schritt. Bei hypoeutektischen Legierungen ist der erste thermische Effekt der Ausscheidung von Ni-Kristallen aus der primären amorphen Phase und/oder dem Wachstum von bereits in der festen Lösung vorliegenden Kristallen, der zweite der Kristallization von Ni₃P und Ni aus der intermediären amorphen Phase zuzuschreiben. Bei hypereutektischen Legierungen entspricht der erste Schritt der Kristallisation der Bildung von random-orientierten Ni₃P-Kristallen, während des zweiten wird dagegen die verbleibende amorphe Phase in das eutektische Gemisch überführt.

A rapid method of determination of specific surface areas

An apparatus and a method for the rapid determination of specific surface areas are described. The method is based on low temperature adsorption of nitrogen from the air and requires determination of the adsorbed gas at two relative pressures. The accuracy of the method, as compared with the BET technique, is ±9% for the adsorbents studied.

On the entropies of glassy and monoclinic selenium at 0 K

The entropies of trigonal, monoclinic and glassy selenium are discussed based on the ATHAS data bank data and third law entropy considerations. Within the error limit both trigonal and monoclinic selenium have zero residual entropy at zero kelvin temperature. The residual entropy of glassy Se is similar in magnitude to other linear macromolecules.

Zusammenfassung Basierend auf Daten der ATHAS-Datenbank und auf den dritten Hauptsatz der Thermodynamik basierenden Entropiebetrachtungen werden die Entropien von trigonalem, monoklinem und glasartigem Selen diskutiert. Beim absoluten Nullpunkt haben innerhalb der Fehlergrenzen sowohl das trigonale als auch das monokline Selen eine Restentropie von Null. Die Restentropie von glasartigem Selen ist größenordnungsmäßig gleich der anderer linearer Makromoleküle.

Influence of pore diffusion on the rate of n-heptane conversion on a Pt/Al2O3 catalyst under reforming conditions

Under reforming conditions, the rate of n-heptane conversion on a large Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst grain, in contrast to that in the kinetic region, depends on the hydrogen to hydrocarbon mole ratio. The rate equation for the reaction on a large grain agrees well with the experimental results obtained by a gradientless method under pressure.

The role of lattice and adsorbed oxygen in the oxidation of n-butene-1 and furan with MnMoO4-based catalysts

In this paper the adsorption properties towards oxygen and the catalytic oxidation properties of furan and n-butene-1 on a MnMoO₄-based catalyst have been compared. Different forms of adsorbed oxygen are responsible either for the oxidation of furan to maleic anhydride or of furane and n-butene-1 to carbon oxides.
