Formation of hexagonal MoO3 upon the decomposition of silica-supported ammonium paramolybdate

Upon the decomposition of silica-supported ammonium paramolybdate, hexagonal MoO₃ is formed at 300–350 °C. Irreversible transformation of hexagonal to rhombic MoO₃ is observed with increasing calcination temperature. The hexagonal MoO₃ structure is probably stabilized by the insertion of ammonium and silicon ions into the lattice of molybdenum trioxide.

Interaction of monochlorinated phenols with granular activated carbon

The validity of an empirical model to estimate the adsorption affinity of a solute from its acidity constant (pKa) was confirmed through study of the adsorption of monochlorinated phenols on granular activated carbon.Neglecting possible adsorbate fragmentation, simplified desorption kinetic data were obtained for the massive thermal release of the investigated solutes. The resulting non-isothermal kinetic parameters confirm that thermal cleaning of the adsorbent surface is a phase-boundary controlled process involving the interruption of physical interactions according to the calculated activation energy values.

Zusammenfassung Die Gültigkeit eines empirischen Modells zur Abschätzung der Adsorptionsaffinität eines gelösten Stoffes auf Grund der Aciditätskonstante (pKa) wurde durch Untersuchung der Adsorption von monochlorierten Phenolen an granulierter Aktivkohle bestätigt. Unter Vernachlässigung einer möglichen Adsorbatfragmentierung wurden vereinfachte kinetische Daten für die thermische Desorption der untersuchten gelösten Stoffe erhalten. Die erhaltenen, nichtisothermen kinetischen Parameter zeigen, daß die thermische Säuberung der Adsorbentoberfläche ein phasengrenzflächenkontrollierter Prozeß ist, bei dem physikalische Wechselwirkungen entsprechend den berechneten Werten der Aktivierungsenergie aufgehoben werden.

On the calculation of activation energies using a modified Kissinger method

Augis and Bennett (J. Thermal Anal. 13 (1978) 283.) [6] recently proposed a modified Kissinger method for determining the activation energy of a transformation. It is shown that the proposed method was, in fact, based upon a modification to the equation for the rate of reaction under non-isothermal conditions. The apparent discrepancy between the proposed method and the original Kissinger method is therefore resolved. The modified rate equation appears to have, at best, only a limited application. However, if the equation should be appropriate for a particular transformation, it is demonstrated that Augis and Bennett's method would be the correct method for determining the activation energy.

Zusammenfassung Von Augis und Bennett (J. Thermal Anal.13, (1978) 283) wurde eine modifizierte Kissinger-Methode zur Bestimmung der Aktivierungsenergie einer Umwandlung vorgeschlagen. Es wird gezeigt, dass die vorgeschlagene Methode tatsächlich in einer Modifizierung der Gleichung für die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit unter nicht-isothermen Bedingungen ihren Ursprung hat. Die scheinbare Diskrepanz zwischen der vorgeschlagenen Methode und der ursprünglichen Kissinger-Methode wird dadurch behoben. Die modifizierte Geschwindigkeitsgleichung hat bestenfalls nur eine begrenzte Anwendung. Jedoch, bei Eignung dieser Gleichung für eine bestimmte Umwandlung zeigt sich, dass die Methode von Augis und Bennett die richtige Methode zur Bestimmung der Aktivierungsenergie sein kann.

Influence of carbon support pretreatment on properties of Pd/C catalysts

Preoxidation of the surface of carbon support was found to increase the dispersity of palladium and activity of Pd/C catalysts obtained by reduction of supported Pd(OAc)₂, in hydrogenation of olefins. Probable reasons for this effect are discussed.

Adsorption and hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes over rhodium black

Hydrogenation selectivity of conjugated ethylenic bonds of unsaturated aldehydes over rhodium black is shown to be determined by intramolecular interactions in surface complexes due to the electronic structure of the initial unsaturated aldehydes.

Generation of model reactions leading to limit cycle behavior

The system of differential equations by Feistel and Ebeling has been generalized. Some new formal kinetic reactions with two internal components, which may exhibit limit cycle behavior have been studied. Based upon the numerical integration of the deterministic models of these reactions the oscillatory character of the systems has been confirmed.

Effect of the partial pressure of reactants on the selectivity of methylcyclopentane hydrogenolysis over a platinum catalyst

The kinetics of methylcyclopentane hydrogenolysis on a Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst (10% Pt) has been studied at 230°C. The selectivity to 2-methyl- and methylpentane formation depends on the partial pressures of the starting reactants (methylcyclopentane and hydrogen); the surface coverage by these reactants must be taken into account in selectivity studies.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of quinol by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III)

The reaction between quinol and alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III) at constant ionic strength gives p-benzoquinone. The rate of the reaction was first order in the concentrations of substrate, oxidant and alkali. The slow step of the reaction involves the formation of the p-benzosemiquinone radical, which was detected by esr spectroscopy as a five-line spectrum with peak intensity ratios of 14641.
