Effect of water on hydrogen desorption from the surface of Rh/C catalysts

An increase in the number of titration cycles results in a considerable decrease in H_T and O_T values, which in turn, brings about a decrease in the amount of desorbed hydrogen. This shows that water, being a product of titration reaction, is adsorbed on the oxidized surface of rhodium and represents a kinetic-diffusive barrier for hydrogen titration.

Gas diffusion during the thermal analysis of pyrite

Maximum rates of weight loss were measured during thermal analysis experiments involving the oxidation of thin layers of pyrite particles (<37 to 212–300 m screen size fractions) in oxygen-containing atmospheres (10–100%). The experimentally determined rates were compared with those calculated for several diffusion-based models. Good agreement was obtained with the model involving gas diffusion in the crucible.

Effect of reduction temperature on the dehydrocyclizing activity of pure chromia and chromia containing K2O and CaO

The dehydrocyclization of n-heptane at 520–550°C over pure chromia and chromia with added CaO and K₂O (5 wt.% each) has been investigated. Introduction of an alkaline additive into Cr₂O₃ decreases markedly the yield of toluene. Raising of the reduction temperature of alkali-containing samples from 550 to 700°C results, in contrast to pure Cr₂O₃ and chromia-alumina systems, not in diminished, but in increased yields of toluene, the activity enhancement being particularly pronounced for the CaO-containing catalyst. These increased activities cannot be correlated either with variations in specific surface area or changes in the content of Cr⁶⁺ during subsequent oxidation, and presumably should be ascribed to more extensive catalyst reduction at higher temperatures.

Thermal behaviour of complex carbon-silica adsorbents (carbosils)

The thermal properties of complex carbon-silica adsorbents (carbosils) were investigated using differential thermal analysis. The adsorbents were prepared by pyrolysis of-phenylethyl alcohol,n-octanol,p-chlorotoluene and mixtures of these substances on silica gel surfaces, and they were treated with hydrogen. Thermal analysis was carried out in air atmosphere. The following parameters characterizing the properties of the adsorbents were determined: carbon and hydrogen contents, specific surface area, nitrogen adsorption isotherms, differential distribution of pore volumes according to their radii, carbon layer thickness, conversion degree of the substance pyrolysed, and surface micrographs. The effects of the nature of the carbonized substance and pyrolysis intermediates on the thermal properties of the complex adsorbent are discussed.

Zusammenhänge zwischen der Natur der carbonisierten Substanz und der Pyrolysezwischenprodukte einerseits und der thermischen Eigenschaften des komplexen Adsorbens andererseits werden diskutiert.

Thermochemical studies on the systems ACl/CeCl3 (A=Na-Cs)

The pseudobinary systems ACl/CeCl₃ (A=Na-Cs) were reinvestigated by means of DTA. The following compounds were found and identified through their X-ray patterns (primarily detected compounds in italics):NaCe _1.67 Cl ₆; K₃CeCl₆, K₂CeCl₅,KCe _1.67 Cl ₆;Rb ₃ CeCl ₆, Rb₂CeCl₅,RbCe ₂ Cl ₇; Cs₃CeCl₆, Cs₂CeCl₅,CsCe ₂ Cl ₇. The compounds A₂CeCl₅ crystallize with the K₂PrCl₅ structure. The high-temperature modifications of the compounds A₃CeCl₆ have the cubic elpasolite structure. The hexagonal unit cell of KCe_1.67Cl₆ is related to the CeCl₃ structure: 0.33 Ce³⁺ are substituted by one K^s+. The structure of CsCe₂Cl₇ can be described with a hexagonal subcellZ=4,a=9.72 andc=14.94 Å; however, small superstructure reflexions reduce the symmetry.The thermodynamic functions for the reactionsnACl+CeCl₃=A _n CeCl _n+3(A=K, Rb) were determined by means of e.m.f. measurements.Measurements of the e.m.f.E vs. T yielded the Gibbs enthalpiesG ^r . The temperature-dependence was found to be linear.The most important result is the formation of the elpasolites (A₃CeCl₆) and ACe₂Cl₇.

IR and thermal studies on lithium oxomolybdenum(VI) oxalate

A new molybdenum(VI) complex, Li₂[Mo₂O₆(C₂O₄)] · 2 H₂O (LMO), was prepared and characterized by chemical analysis and IR spectral studies. Its thermal decomposition was studied by using TG and DTA techniques. LMO loses its two moles of water between 75 and 170° to give the anhydrous product, which decomposes in three stages between 240 and 380°. The first two stages occur in the temperature ranges 240–280° and 280–305°, to give intermediates with the tentative compositions Li₆[Mo₆O₁₉(C₂O₄)₂] and Li₆[Mo₆O₂₀(C₂O₄)], respectively. In the third stage, which extends up to 380°, Li₆[Mo₆O₂₀(C₂O₄)] decomposes to give the end-product, Li₂Mo₂O₇.

Catalytic properties of V?Mo?O systems in acrolein oxidation

Catalytic properties of V–Mo–O systems have been studied in acrolein oxidation. When catalysts are activated in reaction mixtures at 673 K, then a solid solution of molybdenum oxides in reduced vanadium oxides is formed, which is responsible for deep oxidation. Also, several compounds are produced, which by their activity and selectivity to acrylic acid formation are arranged in the sequences VMo₃O₁₁VMo₂O_8+x>V₆Mo₄O₂₅, and VMo₃O₁₁>VMo₂O_8+xV₆Mo₄O₂₅, respectively.

Effects of radioactivity on surfaces: I. Influence of Cr-51 on the catalytic activity of chromium catalysts

Chromium catalysts were prepared on monolith supports, some of them with radioactive Cr-51 in the surface. The dehydrogenation-hydrogenation reaction of cyclohexene was used to compare the catalytic activities of the radioactive and inactive catalysts. Differences were observed in the distribution of the main products at low temperatures and of the byproducts also at high temperatures.

Activation of heterogeneous catalysts by organoaluminium compounds

The catalytic (benzene hydrogenation) and adsorption (O₂, CO) properties of NiO/Al₂O₃ and Ni(C₅H₇O₂)₂/Al₂O₃ reduced by trimethylaluminium and hydrogen have been studied. Significant differences in their catalytic and adsorption properties have been observed. The increased hydrogenation activity of catalysts reduced by trimethylaluminium is due to the increased reduction degree and dispersity of the active component.
