Some investigations on the photostabilization of polypropylene

The effect of substituted hydroxybenzophenone, benzotriazole and organic metal complexes on the photooxidation of PP films has been studied. It has been established that NiDBTC added in 1.0 wt. % is the most effective photostabilizer.While in the case of other stabilizers there is a slight increase in the Co content even during the induction period, with the application of NiDBTC practically no oxidation can be observed before the stabilizer completely disappears. This means that NiDBTC inhibits the photooxidation of the polymer even in low concentration.

Effect of the support on the coking of nickel catalysts in hydrocarbon steam reforming

Experiments on the coking rates of variously prepared nickel catalysts on TiO₂, Al₂O₃ and MgO in n-butane steam reforming show that changes in the relative coking rate at a rising steam excess in the gas phase depend mainly on the kind of support. The results obtained are accounted for by changes in the electron density at the site of nickel crystallite contact with the surface of various supports.

Temperature-programmed reduction of CuO?NiO/Al2O3 catalysts

Reducibility of NiO/Al₂O₃ and CuO–NiO/Al₂O₃ catalysts has been studied by the TPR method within the temperature range 293–873 K. The results suggest that the copper content essentially does not influence the reducibility of NiO/Al₂O₃.

Photochemical reactions of anthraquinone with hydrocarbons in the presence and absence of oxygen: Trapping of radical intermediates

Radical intermediates formed at 25°C in the presence and absence of oxygen during the photolysis of anthraquinone in aromatic, cyclic and aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents were trapped by 2,6-dichloronitrosobenzene, 2,6-dibromonitrosobenzene and 2,4,6-tribromonitrosobenzene. The resulting nitroxide radicals have been characterized in situ by ESR spectra.

Kinetics and mechanism of OsO4 catalyzed oxidation of chalcones by Ce4 in aqueous acetic sulfuric acid media

Kinetics of OsO₄ catalyzed oxidation of chalcones by Ce⁴⁺ has been studied in aqueous acetic-sulfuric acid medium in the temperature range 313 to 338 K. The order in [oxidant] is zero while the order with respect to [substrate] and [catalyst] are each fractional. The rate of the reaction decreased with increase in percentage of acetic acid while [H⁺] had practically no effect on the rate The rates of various substituted chalcones (with substituents in the phenyl. ring attached to the moiety) are in the orderp-CH₃>m-CH₃>H>p-Cl>m-Cl>m-NO₂>p-NO₂. A mechanism in which formation of a cyclic ester between chalcone and OsO₄ in a fast step followed by its decomposition in a rate-determining step is envisaged.

Activity of Ni?Mo hydrodesulfurization catalysts supported on mixed alumina-zirconia

The hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of thiophene by nickel-molybdenum catalysts supported on alumina-zirconia has been investigated. The effect of varying the ratios of oxides in the support is to produce a minimum in the activity for HDS, and the coimpregnated catalysts are shown to be more active than the analogous co-precipitated catalysts.

Calorimetric studies of aluminosilicate catalysts heats and entropies of cumene adsorption on cation substituted metakaolinite

Differential heats of cumene adsorption at 293 K on Ca-, Sr- and Ba-substituted metakaolinites at surface coverages up to 0.1 have been measured on a Calvet microcalorimeter. The presence of two energetically different adsorption centers are shown to be determined by the nature of the exchanged cation; the adsorption heats decrease in the sequence Ba, Sr, Ca, Mg.

Hydrogenation and double bond isomerization of hexenes over EUROPT-1

Hexenes give large amounts of hexane and isomeric hexenes over EUROPT-1. A constant hydrocarbon coverage can be assumed in the steady-state period of the reaction; the direction of reactions of these surface species depends on the hydrogen excess and also on the structure of starting hydrocarbon.

Thermal decompositions of Y,La and light lanthanide thiodiglycolates

The conditions of thermal decomposition of the thiodiglycolates of Y, La and light lanthanides from Ce to Gd have been studied. On heating, these complexes decompose in various ways. Hydrated thiodiglycolates of La,Ce(III), Pr(III) and Gd lose crystallization water in one step, while those of Y, Nd, Sm and Eu(III) do so in two steps. The anhydrous complexes subsequently decompose in several steps to the oxysulfates Ln₂O_3–x((SO₄)_x.

Contribution to the kinetics of the process of dissolution

Some characteristics of the kinetic equation of dissolution are discussed, bearing in mind that in the course of the process, along with the concentration of the solution, the surface of the soluble substance is also changed. The opportunity for the appication of an exponential kinetic equation is pointed out. Methods are proposed for calculating the solubility and also for using the integral forms of the exponential equation. The meaning of the coefficient of proportionality is explained.

Comparison between ESR spectra and activities of bismuth tungstate catalysts

Electron spin resonance absorptions have been studied in bismuth tungstate catalysts with Bi/W ratios of 2/3, 1/1, 2/1 and 6/1. The first three systems exhibit a mean g value of 2.07±0.04 while the last one does not show any ESR signal. All the systems are diamagnetic. The signals at g=2.03–2.11 are attributed to oxygen ion-radicals chemisorbed (O ₂ ^– ) on W⁶⁺. An attempt has been made to correlate these whith the catalytic activities of the bismuth tungstates in the oxidation of propylene and 1-butene.

Thermal and infrared spectrum analyses of natural and synthetic andersonites

The thermal decompositions of natural and synthetic andersonites were studied. Two partly overlapping dehydration steps and three partly overlapping decarbonation steps were observed. The second dehydration and the first decarbonation steps also partly overlap. During decarbonation, the gradual formation of sodium diuranate and monoclinic and hexagonal phases in the Na₂U₂O₇-CaUO_4–x system was proved. The results were correlated with measured infrared spectra using site and factor group analysis and X-ray structure analysis. The chemical formula inferred for natural andersonite, Na₂Ca[UO₂(CO₃)₃] 5.6H₂O, agrees with that proposed for its synthetic analogue.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von natürlichem und synthetischem Andersonit wurde untersucht. Sie umfasst zwei teilweise überlappende Entwässerungs- und drei teilweise überlappende Decarboxylierungsstufen. Der zweite Entwässerungs- und der erste Decarboxylierungsschritt überlagern einander ebenfalls teilweise. Während der Decarboxylierung wird die allmähliche Bildung von Natriumdiuranat und monoklinen und hexagonalen Phasen des Systems Na₂U₂C₇-CaUO_4–x nachgewiesen. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit den gemessenen IR-Spektren unter Benutzung der site- und Faktor-Gruppenanalyse sowie Röntgenbeugungsuntersuchungen korreliert. Die für natürlichen Andersonit abgeleitete Formel Na₂Ca[UO₂(CO₃)₃].5,6H₂O stimmt mit der für synthetischen Andersonit vorgeschlagenen überein.

Kinetics of perborate oxidation of quinol

The perborate oxidation of quinol in aqueous acetic acid is first order with respect to perborate, zero order with respect to quinol, and first order with respect to H⁺. The oxidation is faster than H₂O₂ oxidation. Breakdown of protonated perboric acid is suggested as the rate-limiting step.
