X-ray study of Re/Al2O3 and Re+Pt/Al2O3 catalysts using synchrotron radiation

Uning synchrotron radiation, L_III rhenium absorption spectra have been studied for Re/Al₂O₃ and Re+Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts obtained by impregnation. For individual rhenium compounds a linear dependence between the shift of absorption edge and the state of rhenium oxidation has been found. The absorption spectra of reduced catalysts are significantly broadened as compared with those of individual compounds of the same valency. This points to the presence of rhenium compounds in different oxidation states.

Studies on catalytically active surface compounds, VIII. On the reaction of VCl4 with aerosil

The preparation and hydrolysis of silica supported vanadium catalysts have been investigated using VCl₄ as a paramagnetic probe. Chemical analysis shows the possibility of the VCl₄ molecule to react one, two, or three hydroxy groups of the surface. The type of reaction is influenced by the temperature of pretreatment of aerosil (TPA). ESR measurements show distortions of the tetrahedral coordination of the (SiO)_nVCl_4–n surface complex, which is strongest for the threefold attachment (n=3) of VCl₄ to the surface. Hydrolysis is accompanied by an increase of the coordination number and leads to highly mobile vanadium species.

Displacement of hydrogen from rhodium surface by carbon monoxide under conditions of pulsed-gas chromatography

Interaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen on the surface of rhodium catalysts has been investigated under conditions of pulsed-gas chromatography within the temperature range of –80 to 500 °C. At temperatures up to about 180 °C adsorbed hydrogen was found to be displaced to the gaseous phase as a result of carbon oxide adsorption. At higher temperatures conversion of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to methane takes place.

These compounds were examined by the methods of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry, UV-VIS reflectance spectroscopy, and also by the measurement of magnetic moments. The thermal stability, the stoichiometry of thermal decomposition and the mutual transformations were investigated with a derivatograph. The reactions proceeding according to the following schemes were observed if the system was heated to appropriate temperature: (I)(II)(III)(V)(IV) and (VI)(VII)(III)(V)(IV) Process (VII)(III) represents isomerization. The reversibility of the process (V)(IV) is due to the high hygroscopicity of the anhydrous complex. The changes in structure in the course of the individual processes are discussed.

Effect of heating rate on the thermal decomposition of lead dioxide

Experimental data are presented on the kinetics and mechanism of PbO₂ decomposition at heating rates varying from 0 to 2.5 · 10³ °/sec. The studies were carried out with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer MSKH-4, a Paulik-Paulik-Erdey derivatograph and an X-ray diffractometer DRON-0.5At low heating rates (0 to 0.2 °/s) oxygen is evolved in four stages: PbO₂ PbO_1.56 PbO_1.44 PbO. At extremely high heating rates (2 · 10²–2.5 · 10³ °/s) the number of stages is reduced to two: PbO₂ PbO_1.4 PbO. An attempt is made to connect the observed change in the decomposition mechanism of PbO₂ with the crystal structure formation of the lead oxides.

Study of cyclohexane conversion on A Pt/Al2O3 catalyst under reforming conditions by a gradientless method

A common type of rate equations for hydrocarbon conversions under reforming conditions has been shown, resulting from the features of the hydrocarbons and hydrogen adsorption on the Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst. This has been confirmed by variations in the rate of cyclohexane conversion observed upon the introduction of methane into the reaction mixture. Methane does not react but is strongly adsorbed on the catalyst surface.
