Selective hydrogenation of fatty oils on alloyed Ni?Al catalysts. II. Optimal reaction conditions

The previously suggested kinetic model permits to predict that maximum selectivity towards olein is attained under the limiting diffusional resistance with respect to hydrogen. This conclusion is confirmed by the experimental data obtained in a fixed catalyst bed reactor. Some recommendations to intensify industrial processes are given.

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.

Testing the photocatalytic activity of cyanogen-and thiocyanogen-based inorganic polymers

The photocatalytic properties of some cyanogen-and thiocyanogen-based inorganic polymers, such as paracyanogens containing different metals (Hg, Ag, Cu), polythiocyanogens of different iodine contents, polycyanogen and poly (cyanogenthiocyanate), have been tested in two systems. Cu-containing paracyanogen and the iodine-poor polythiocyanogens catalyze the photoreduction of methylviologen under visible light, furthermore the Cu-containing paracyanogen catalyzes the photoreduction of water to hydrogen under UV irradiation.

The differential thermal analysis in the identification of cations through the Dowex 50W X12 resin

Starting from some satisfactory preliminary studies, the possibility of identifying single cations in solution has been investigated, by means of ionic exchange with a highly acidic resin (Dowex 50W) and a subsequent study by differential thermal analysis of the same resin. A catalogue of DTA curves has been prepared with 19 ionic forms of the said resin, and it has been found that the DTA curves are sufficiently distinguishable and reproducible to suggest an eventual analytical use in more complex cases of solutions containing more than one cationic species.

Zusammenfassung Ausgehend von befriedigenden Vorversuchen hat man die Möglichkeit der Identifizierung von einzelnen Kationen in Lösung mit Hilfe Ionenaustausches am hochsauren Austauscherharz (Dowex 50W) und darauffolgender differentialthermoanalytischer Prüfung des Harzes untersucht. Es wurde ein Katalog der DTA Kurven von 19 ionischen Formen des erwähnten Harzes aufgestellt. Die DTA Kurven sind genügend unterschiedlich und reproduzierbar, um eine analytische Anwendung von komplizierteren Fällen mit mehr als einem Kation in der Lösung vorzunehmen.

Résumé Après quelques essais préliminaires ayant donné satisfaction, on a recherché la possibilité d'identifier des cations présents seuls en solution par échange ionique sur une résine fortement acide (Dowex 50W et étude ultérieure de cette même résine par ATD. On a préparé un catalogue des courbes d'ATD de 19 formes ioniques de la dite résine. Les courbes se distinguent suffisamment les unes des autres et sont assez reproductibles pour suggérer leur emploi éventuel au cas plus complexe de solutions contenant plusieurs espèces cationiques.

Kinetics of catalytic hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane by polycomponent solutions of neutral salts

The effect of salt concentrations on the hydrolysis kinetics in three-component systems containing tetraethoxysilane and aqueous solutions of sodium, neodymium and lead nitrates has been shown. A generalized model for the synthesis of polycomponent hydrolytes is suggested, which permits to predict the conditions to prepare compositions with specified characteristics.

Selective oxidation and ammoxidation of isobutene over mixed oxides of tin and antimony

The oxidation and ammoxidation of isobutene were studied over mixed oxides SnO₂/Sb₂O₄ as catalysts, in a pulse reactor between 598 and 698 K. From the point of view of methacrylonitrile production the catalysts of compositions SnSb=4–51 behaved most appropriately at the optimum reaction temperature of 673 K. Below this temperature the production of methacrolein was preferred, even in the presence of ammonia, whereas at higher temperatures total oxidation prevailed.

Stoichiometric number molecularity and multiplicity

On the basis of the polynomial to which the system of pseudo-steady-state equations corresponding to the nonlinear single-route mechanism is reduced (kinetic polynomial), the known concepts of stoichiometric number and molecularity have been studied. A set of the minimal-integer stoichiometric coefficients is shown to correspond to the kinetic characteristics in the neighborhood of equilibrium.

Solid-state decomposition studies on fluoroperoxo species of transition metals part II

The kinetics of isothermal decomposition of solid K₂Zr₂(O₂)₂F₆·2H₂O have been studied in the temperature range 100–226° under vacuum. The fractional decomposition has been determined by measuring the pressure of evolved oxygen during pyrolysis with the help of a McLeod gauge. The values ranged from 0.05 to 0.62. The vs. t data showed that the kinetics are deceleratory throughout the course of the reaction. The initial part of the decomposition reaction could be best described by a unimolecular decay law, while the later stages obey contracting volume kinetics. The activation energies have been determined and the respective values for the above stages are 13.6 and 6.9 kcal·mole^–1.

Zusammenfassung Die Kinetik der isothermen Zersetzung von festen K₂Zr₂(O₂)₂F₆·2H₂O wurde im Temperaturbereich von 100–226° im Vakuum untersucht. Die fraktionierte Zersetzung wurde durch Messung des Druckes des während der Pyrolyse entwickelten Sauerstoffs mit einem McLeod-Manometer bestimmt. Die -Werte variierten von 0.05 bis 0.62. Die -t Daten zeigen, daß die Kinetik im Verlauf der Reaktion herabgesetzt wird. Der erste Teil der Zersetzungsreaktion konnte am besten durch ein unimolekulares Zerfallgesetzt beschrieben werden, während die späteren Phasen der Kinetik der Volumenkontraktion gehorchten. Die Aktivierungsenergien wurden berechnet und die entsprechenden Werte für obige Reaktionen ergaben sich 13.6 bzw. 6.9 Kcal mol^–1.
