Kinetics of oxidation of acrolein on a vanadium-molybdenum oxide catalyst

A kinetic study has shown that, in the range of low conversions, the reaction rate depends only on the partial pressure of oxygen. Comparison of the oxidation of acrolein and I-deuteroacrolein suggests that the splitting of the H–CO bond is not rate-limiting.

Influence of the essential features of the potential energy surface on the temperature dependence of the H+CH3→CH4 reaction

Microcanonical statistical adiabatic channel model calculations show that the temperature dependence of the limiting high pressure rate coefficients of the title reaction becomes less positive (or more negative) when the attractiveness of the radial or the attenuation of anisotropic parts of the potential energy surface increases.

Kinetics of cerium(IV) oxidation of propionic acid in perchloric acid: Role of solvent

The oxidation rate of propionic acid (PROA) by cerium(IV) in aqueous perchloric acid (1.0–6.0 mol/dm³) is proportional to the PROA concentration, the total order of the reaction being two. It was found that the rate is related to the values of Hammett's acidity function (H₀) in agreement with both Zucker-Hammett's hypothesis and Bunnett-Olsen's criterion, the water acting as a proton transfer agent. A mechanism consistent with the findings is proposed.

Dehydration-dehydrogenation of 1- and 2-butanols on lanthanide oxide catalysts

Catalytic decomposition of 1- and 2-butanols on the rare earth oxides CeO₂, Pr₆O₁₁, and Me₂O₃ (Me=La, Sm, Eu, Dy, Ho and Yb) has been studied. Dehydration-dehydrogenation selectivity of these oxides was analyzed from the point of view of the fractional selectivity (S_F). For the decomposition of 2-butanol and the product distribution on the lanthanide oxides, preferential orientation to Hofmann olefin as well as a cis/trans ratio slightly higher than that of the equilibrium value is observed.

Thermal properties of elastin-fatty acid complexes

Differential scanning calorimetry has been applied to study the interaction of fibrous or of soluble elastin with fatty acids and their trialanine derivatives. The DSC curves of elastin-fatty acid preparations exhibited an endothermic transition in the temperature range - 10° to + 50°. The peak temperatures and the enthalpy changes were independent of the chain length and of the saturation of the fatty acid. The interaction with the trialanine derivatives was similar to that with the fatty acids.Such interactions between elastin and lipids might take place in vivo as well, resutling in the loss of elasticity of elastin fibres and consequently in the development of arteriosclerotic lesions.

Zusammenfassung Zur Untersuchung der Wechselwirkung zwischen dem fibrösen oder lösbaren Elastin, und den Fettsäuren und ihren Trialanin-Derivaten wurde die DSC-Methode angewandt. Die DSC-Kurven der Elastin-Fettsäure-Präparate zeigten in dem Temperaturbereich von - 10° bis + 50° einen endothermischen Übergang. Die Peak-Temperaturen und die Änderungen der Enthalpie waren von der Kettenlänge und der Sättigung der Fettsäure unabhängig. Die Wechselwirkung mit den Trialanin-Derivaten war der mit den Fettsäuren ähnlich.Solche Wechselwirkungen zwischen Elastin und den Lipiden können auch in vivo stattfinden, und die Abnahme der Elastizität der Elastin-Fibern, und folglich die Entfaltung der arteriosklerotischen Schädigungen resultieren.

Kinetic analysis of thermogravimetric data. XI thermal decomposition of some metal dithionates

A thermal analytical study of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, NH₄, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Zn dithionates is reported. The decomposition of the dithionate ion is endothermic in the case of the Na, K, Rb, Cs and NH₄ salts, but exothermic with Li, Mg, Sr, Ba and Zn. Kinetic parameters have been derived from the TG curves by means of the Coats-Redfern method. The validity of a linear kinetic compensation law is reported for the loss of crystal water and separately for the decomposition of the dithionate ion.

Thermogravimetric and kinetic study of a clodronic acid complex formed with sodium

Thermal stability of the clodronic acid complex formed with sodium (Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂ ·4H₂O) was studied using both dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric analyses as well as mass spectra. The thermal decomposition has two stages: dehydration and loss of two molecules of hydrogen chloride. Using the isothermal TG data the first step was found to be a phase-boundary reaction while the second step obviously cannot be described with just one reaction mechanism. The final residue of the dynamic TG analyses above 810 K was found to be sodium metaphosphate.

Zusammenfassung Sowohl mittels dynamischer und thermogravimetrischer Untersuchungen als auch and Hand von Massenspektren wurde die thermische Stabilität des mit Natrium gebildeten Säurekomplexes Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂·4H₂O untersucht. Die thermische Zersetzung vollzieht sich in zwei Schritten: Dehydratation und Verlust von zwei Molekülen HCl. Auf Grund der isothermen TG Angaben ist der erste Schritt eine Phasengrenzreaktion, während der zweite Schritt mit einem einzigen Reaktionsmechanismus nicht eindeutig beschrieben werden kann. Das Endprodukt der DTG Analyse oberhalb 810 K erwies sich als Natriummethaphosphat.

Determination of CO adsorption heats from kinetic data for CO hydrogenation over metals

Studies of catalytic CO hydrogenation following the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism indicate that the observed decrease in the activation energy with increasing temperature is due to the decreased surface coverage with reactants. The relationships obtained permit to carry out approximate estimates for the adsorption heat of CO.

Thermal and some other properties of the complexes crystallizing from the system Ni(II)-en-[Ni(CN)4]2−-H2O

Seven complex compounds exhibiting the compositions Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄·H₂O (I), Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄ (II),-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (III), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄·2H₂O (IV), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄ (V), Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ · 2.5H₂O (VI) and-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (VII) were prepared from the system Ni-en-[Ni(CN)₄]^2–-H₂O. These compounds were examined by the methods of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry, UV-VIS reflectance spectroscopy, and also by the measurement of magnetic moments. The thermal stability, the stoichiometry of thermal decomposition and the mutual transformations were investigated with a derivatograph. The reactions proceeding according to the following schemes were observed if the system was heated to appropriate temperature: (I)(II)(III)(V)(IV) and (VI)(VII)(III)(V)(IV) Process (VII)(III) represents isomerization. The reversibility of the process (V)(IV) is due to the high hygroscopicity of the anhydrous complex. The changes in structure in the course of the individual processes are discussed.

Effect of carbon support on the hydrogen sorption of platinum

The hydrogen sorption of carbon-supported platinum catalysts, studied by the potentiodynamic method, differs significantly from that of unsupported platinum. The difference depends on the preparation method and on the nature of the support. Possible explanations are suggested as (i) some kind of interaction between metal and support atoms during impregnation, (ii) high dispersity (amorphous structure) and (iii) hydrogen spillover onto the carbon support.

The degradation of a rocket insulator compound based on ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) containing asbestor, cork and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) as fillers has been studied at high temperature (up to 600°) by using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry (TG). The changes in physical properties on high-temperature aging are also reported. EPDM gum vulcanizates involving different types of diene, namely ethylidene norbornene (ENB), dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and 1,4-hexadiene (HD), were used. In each case, the kinetic parameters for degradation have been evaluated. From these data, the lifetime of the rocket insulator compound has been found.

Deamination of butylamines on the surface of acidic oxide catalysts

Studies of the deamination of tert-, sec- and n-butylamines on several silicate and phosphate catalysts at 543–704 K have revealed that the reaction proceeds only with the participation of protonic cneters, its rate is independent of the strength of acidic centers and affected only by the amine structure. Butylammonium ion conversion is suggested to be the rate-determining step.

Non-catalyzed oscillation reaction in the aniline-KBrO3?H2SO4 system. II. Reaction products and their oscillating behavior

By means of thin-layer and gas chromatography the reaction products have been determined in the oscillation system of aniline, KBrO₃ and H₂SO₄. These products include: 2-bromoaniline, 4-bromoaniline, 2,4-dibromoaniline, 2,4,6-tribromoaniline, 1,4-benzoquinone, 2-bromo-1,4-benzoquinone, 2,6-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone and a brominated oxidation product. The brominated aniline derivatives do not exhibit an oscillating behavior, and the addition of these substances to an oscillating mixture damps the course of other oscillations.
