Influence of adsorbed anions on the dehydroxylation of synthetic goethite

The influence of surface structure on the dehydroxylation of synthetic goethite has been studied using heat-flux differential scanning calorimetry. Adsorption of various anions by goethite causes a progressive change in both the amount and environment of surface hydroxyls and this is reflected by changes in the DSC curves. These alterations indicate the importance of surface features in determining the course of dehydroxylation and further suggest that, in studies of this type of reaction, the use of synthetic products known to be free of surface contaminants could prove to be of great value in understanding dehydroxylation mechanisms.

Zusammenfassung Der Einfluß von Oberflächenstrukturen auf die Dehydroxylierung synthetischer Goethite wurde unter Anwendung der Wärmestrom-Differential-Abtastkalorimetrie untersucht. Die Adsorption verschiedener Anione durch Goethit verursacht eine progressive Änderung sowohl der Menge als auch der Umgebung der Oberflächenhydroxyle und dies wird durch die Änderungen der DSC-Kurven wiedergespiegelt. Diese Änderungen zeigen die Bedeutung der Oberflächenbeschaffenheiten bei der Bestimmung des Verlaufs der Dehydroxylierung und weisen ferner darauf hin, daß bei Studien dieses Reaktionstyps der Einsatz synthetischer Produkte, die bekanntlich frei von Oberflächenverunreinigungen sind, sich hinsichtlich der Klärung der Dehydroxylierungsmechanismen als sehr wertvoll erweisen könnte.

Résumé On a étudié par analyse calorimétrique différentielle (DSC) l'influence de la structure de surface sur la déshydroxylation de goethites synthétiques. L'adsorption d'anions divers par la goethite entraîne une variation progressive à la fois de la quantité et de l'environnement des hydroxyles de surface, ce qui se reflète dans les variation des courbes DSC. Ces altérations indiquent l'importance des propriétés de surface quand il s'agit de déterminer le cours de la déshydroxylation et suggèrent en outre que l'emploi de produits synthétiques connus comme étant exempts de contaminants de surface, pourrait être de grande valeur dans des études de ce type de réactions, pour comprendre les mécanismes de déshydroxylation.

Non-equilibrium ion-(polar) molecule reaction rate coefficients

Using the Fokker-Planck version of an approximate Boltzmann equation for the ion (translational) energy distribution function f_I we have calculated the deviation, k, of the non-equilibrium ion-(polar)molecule reaction rate coefficient k (based) on f_I from its equilibrium value k⁽⁰⁾. The _D (dipole moment)-dependence of the reaction cross section applied leads to a corresponding dependence of k on _D.

Nature of propene chemisorption centers on molybdenum trioxide

As shown by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), the quantity of reversibly chemisorbed propane on MoO₃ passes through a maximum depending on the degree of surface reduction. Using the ESR method, it is shown that the centers of propene chemisorption do not contain Mo⁵⁺ ions but presumably isolated Mo⁴⁺ ions.

Some aspects of mathematical statistics as applied to nonisothermal kinetics V

The paper gives a quantitative comparison of two methodological approaches to the solution of the inverse kinetic problem: the traditional approach and the nontraditional approach suggested by the authors. It is shown that the amount of information (in the sense of Shannon) obtained within the scope of the nontraditional approach is always greater than that obtained with the use of the traditional approach.

The height of DSC phase transition peaks application to liquid crystals

A new method for differentiating first- and second-order transition in liquid crystalline systems is proposed. It is based on the use of the ratioN=h/h ₀, whereh ₀ is the height of the transition peak recorded by DSC at a heating rateT _p with a massm, andh is the height of the corresponding peak when the heating rate or the mass is doubled. The application of this new concept to phase transitions in octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) is mentioned.

Vitreous phases of the Ag2O∶B22O3∶P2O5 system

Most optimized vitreous electrolytes are obtained by doping an oxide glass with a salt (MX); the resulting substance has an increased ionic conductivity, but a reduced thermal stability. On the other hand, this paper shows that it is possible to obtain vitreous electrolytes with enhanced electrical and thermal performances by mixing two glass formers. This phenomenon may be called the mixed anion effect. The Ag₂OB₂O₃P₂O₅ system is shown to offer a very interesting example of such a phenomenon.

Zusammenfassung Optimale glasartige Elektrolyte werden durch Dopen eines Oxydglases mit einem Salz (MX) erhalten; die Produkte weisen eine erhöhte ionische Leitfähigkeit, jedoch auch eine verminderte thermische Stabilität auf. Andererseits wird gezeigt, daß glasartige Elektrolyte mit besseren elektrischen und thermischen Eigenschaften durch Mischen von zwei Glasbildnern erhalten werden können. Für dieses Phänomen wird die Bezeichnung mixed anion effect in Vorschlag gebracht. Es wird gezeigt, daß das System Ag₂OB₂O₃P₂O₅ ein sehr interessantes Beispiel dieses Phänomens bietet.

A probable reason for the selective action of metalloenzymes

The following regularity concerning the selective action of metalloenzymes is noted: in many cases, from the given substrate on a given enzyme only the least oxidized product is formed. The low concentration of metal ions in the reaction space is one of the probable reasons of this regularity.
