Evidence of a strong metal-support interaction in zirconia-supported nickel catalysts

The reduction of Ni/ZrO₂ catalysts above 700 K results in a decrease of hydrogen adsorption and of the catalytic activity toward ethane hydrogenolysis. O₂ treatments followed by reduction at low temperature of samples reduced at high temperatures restore the normal properties. This behavior is similar to that observed for Ni/SiO₂, Ni/TiO₂ and is characteristic of a strong metal-support interaction similar to that observed on Pt/TiO₂ catalysts. Paradoxically, it is shown that Ni does not interact strongly with ZrO₂ since it is easily reduced and its reduction gives very large metallic particles.

Characterization of the redox-reactivity of transition metal oxides by temperature-programmed limited thermal decomposition (TPLTD)

The concept of labile lattice oxygen (LLO) as a consequence of the Mars-Van Krevellen model was reminded, and contrasted with the surface oxygen species. Methods of characterizing of the Me-O bond strength were reviewed emphasizing the temperature-programmed limited thermal decomposition (TPLTD). A series of Ag_xV₂Mo_yO_z was characterized by TPLTD. Two forms of LLO were distinguished. The weaker form is independent on Ag-doping, in contrast to the stronger one. Activation energy of TPLTD of the stronger bound LLO was a linear function of the anion vacancy concentration.

Zusammenfassung Aus dem Konzept des labilen Gittersauerstoffs (LLO) als Konsequenz des Mars-Van Krevellen-Modells wird die Rolle der Oberflächen-Sauerstoff-Spezies hervorgehoben. Ein Überblick über die Methoden zur Charakterisierung der Me-O-Bindung wird unter besonderer Betonung der temperaturprogrammierten begrenzten thermischen Zersetzung (TPLTD) gegeben.Eine Reihe Ag _x V₂Mo _y O₂ wurde mittels TPLTD charakterisiert, dabei konnten zwei Arten von LLO unterschieden werden. Die schwächere Form ist im Gegensatz zu der stärkeren unabhängig vom Silbergehalt. Die Aktivierungsenergie der TPLTD der stärker gebundenen LLO hängt linear von der Konzentration der Anionenfehlstellen ab.

Methode calorimetrique de mesure des enthalpies de formation des alliages liquides a forte tension de vapeur

The heat effects corresponding to the dissolution of solid PbSe in liquid Pb-Se alloys starting from pure Pb were measured with a direct reaction calorimeter. The partial enthalpy of formation of PbSe in the melt and the integral enthalpy of formation of the Pb-PbSe system in the liquid state referred the liquid Pb and PbSe were deduced. Then, from a very simple change of reference state, and in the knowledge of the enthalpy of PbSe, the integral enthalpy of formation of Pb-Se liquid alloys with reference to pure liquid components could be derived. The results agreed very well with those obtained previously on the dissolution of Se in Pb. The method used can be applied whenever the component to be added to the bath has a high vapor pressure.

Zusammenfassung Die bei der Überführung von festem PbSe in flüssige Pb-Se-Legierungen auftretenden Wärmeeffekte wurden mittels direkter Reaktionskalorimetrie bestimmt. Die auf flüssiges Pb und PbSe bezogene partielle Bildungsenthalpie des Pb-PbSe-Systems im flüssigen Zustand wurde ermittelt. Durch eine geringfügige Veränderung des Referenzzustandes konnte bei Kenntnis der Enthalpie von PbSe die integrale Bildungsenthalpie von flüssigen Pb-Se-Legierungen in Bezug auf die reinen Komponenten abgeleitet werden. Die Ergebnisse stimmen gut mit denen überein, die früher für die Auflösung von Se in Pb erhalten wurden. Die Methode ist anwendbar, wenn dem Bade zuzugebende Komponenten einen hohen Dampfdruck haben.

Oxidative stability of lubricants for dry circuit sliding contacts

The thin film oxidation resistance of isoparaffin and two polyol esters synthetic lubricants was studied by high pressure differential scanning calorimetry. The oxidation induction time of each lubricant was measured by isothermally heating the sample in an oxygen environment. Arrhenius plots were constructed to predict the service life of the lubricant at low temperatures. The results indicate that polyol esters exhibit better oxidative stability than isoparaffins.

Formulation of apparent reaction order and its application

The apparent reaction order _j with respect to component i was shown to be described as _i = lnR/lnp_i where R and p_i are the reaction rate and the partial pressure of component i, respectively. This equation makes it possible to compare the parameters in the power functional rate equation and those in the fractional rate equation with each other. An application was illustrated on a steady-state two-step kinetics.
