A rapid method for catalyst activity measurements by combination of pulse reactor, mass spectrometer and process computer

The combination of a pulse reactor attached directly (without a separation column) to a mass spectrometer/process computer system is described. To obtain a conversion/temperature diagram for the dehydration and dehydrogenation of 2-butanol less than one hour is required. Therefore, the method can be used for rapid characterization or comparison of the activities of various samples.

Displacement of hydrogen from rhodium surface by carbon monoxide under conditions of pulsed-gas chromatography

Interaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen on the surface of rhodium catalysts has been investigated under conditions of pulsed-gas chromatography within the temperature range of –80 to 500 °C. At temperatures up to about 180 °C adsorbed hydrogen was found to be displaced to the gaseous phase as a result of carbon oxide adsorption. At higher temperatures conversion of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to methane takes place.

Poissonian stationary distribution in a class of detailed balanced reactions

We investigate those detailed balanced (vectorial) complex chemical reactions that belong to the class of simple Markovian population processes and show that there is no chemical reaction with independent reaction rates having a Poissonian stationary distribution. There exists, however, a manifold of reactions with dependent (as given) reaction rates and with Poissonian stationary distribution.

Possibility of thermal analysis of different types of bonding of water in minerals

Various types of water bonding were studied. e.g. water bound by occlusion, by adsorption, by capillary condensation, by chemisorption and as a solid solution, zeolitic water, interlayer water, crystal water and structural water bound in form of hydroxil groups. The differentiation of these various types of bonding is rather difficult, for on heating water is evolved at various temperatures and in rather wide temperature domains which overlap to different extents. Efforts were made to improve the detection by applying the quasi-isothermal quasi-isobaric measuring technique.

Zusammenfassung Es wurden verschiedene Bindungstypen von Wasser untersucht. Wasser kann unter anderem durch Einschlüsse, Adsorption. Kapillarkondensation, Chemisorption und in Form von Mischkristallen, zeolitisch, schichteingebettetem und Kristallwasser sowie als OH-Form gebunden sein. Die Untersuchung dieser zahlreichen Bindungstypen ist äußerst schwierig, da die Wasserabgabe bei verschiedenen Temperaturen geschieht und die ziemlich breiten Temperaturintervalle mehr oder weniger überlappen. Mittels quasiisothermen und quasiisobaren Meßtechniken wurde versucht, die Möglichkeit der Bestimmung zu verbessern.

The investigation of thermally treated glasses of controlled porosity by means of differential thermal analysis

Some of the materials used as chromatography packings, adsorbents or catalyst supports are glasses of controlled porosity (CPGs). The chemical structure of these materials can easily be changed by heating the porous glass. Such thermal modification leads to the enrichment of the CPG surface in boron atoms. The long exposure of CPGs to thermal treatment can even cause the formation of borate crystals in the pores of the glasses. This paper considers the application of thermal analysis to the investigation of porous glasses heated for different periods of time.

Zusammenfassung Einige der als chromatographische Säulenpackungen, Adsorbenten oder Katalysatorträger verwendeten Materialien sind Gläser mit definierter Porosität (CPGs). Die chemische Struktur dieser Materialien kann leicht durch Erhitzen verändert werden. Eine solche thermische Modifizierung führt zu einer Anreicherung von Bor in der Oberflächenschicht. Eine langdauernde Erhitzung der CPGs kann sogar zur Bildung von Boratkristallen in den Poren der Gläser führen. Im vorliegenden Artikel wird die Anwendung der thermischen Analyse zur Untersuchung von porösen Gläsern in Abhängigkeit von der Erhitzungsdauer behandelt.

Self-oscillations in the rate of CO oxidation on Pt(110)

The surface of Pt(110) was found to be metastable under the reaction conditions. The necessary condition for the appearance of self-oscillations in the system is the change of platinum surface properties under the action of reaction medium. Self-oscillations in the rate are maintained due to reversibility of these changes.

Studies on catalytically active surface compounds, X. Alkali metal induced slow tumbling of vanadyl complexes on the surface of aerosil

The effect of alkali metal admixtures (Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) on V/SiO₂ catalysts was studied by ESR spectroscopy. Alkali metals strongly change the VO²⁺ spectra. Reduction leads to spectra showing a slow rotational motion of VO²⁺ species on the support surface. The proposed explanation includes former structural models and the formation of salts of polyvanadium acid.

Application of numerical methods to solve nonlinear inverse problems in calorimetry of hard materials

A method is suggested for numerical determination of heat capacity as a function of temperature using the data on nonstationary experiments. This is based on the solution of the inverse problem in the overdefined formulation, with allowance for the temperature distribution inside the solid. The algorithm developed for the solution of the problem allows determination of the heat capacity both in case of a material with a known thermal conductivity, and in the case when the thermal conductivity of the material is unknown and should be determined simultaneously with the heat capacity. The suggested method of numerical solution for the coefficient-type inverse problem of nonlinear thermal conductivity may also be of use in interpretations of the data of thermal analysis.

Zusammenfassung Die vorgeschlagene Methode zur Bestimmung der Temperaturabhängigkeit der Wärmekapazität aus den Daten eines nichtstationären Versuchs gründet sich auf die Lösung der umgekehrten Aufgabe in einer überbestimmten Aufstellung, sie erlaubt, die Temperaturverteilung innerhalb der festen Probe in Betracht zu ziehen. Der ausgearbeitete Lösungsalgorithmus gestattet, die Wärmekapazität zu bestimmen, und zwar sowohl, wenn die Wärmeleitfähigkeit des Materials bekannt ist, als auch, wenn sie unbekannt ist und gleichzeitig mit der Wärmekapazität bestimmt werden soll. Die vorgeschlagene Methode der numerischen Lösung des Problems der inversen Koeffizienten bei der nichtlinearen Wärmeleitfähigkeit kann auch bei der Auswertung von Daten der thermischen Analyse verwendet werden.

Effect of heating rate on the thermal decomposition of lead dioxide

Experimental data are presented on the kinetics and mechanism of PbO₂ decomposition at heating rates varying from 0 to 2.5 · 10³ °/sec. The studies were carried out with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer MSKH-4, a Paulik-Paulik-Erdey derivatograph and an X-ray diffractometer DRON-0.5At low heating rates (0 to 0.2 °/s) oxygen is evolved in four stages: PbO₂ PbO_1.56 PbO_1.44 PbO. At extremely high heating rates (2 · 10²–2.5 · 10³ °/s) the number of stages is reduced to two: PbO₂ PbO_1.4 PbO. An attempt is made to connect the observed change in the decomposition mechanism of PbO₂ with the crystal structure formation of the lead oxides.

Studies with a derivatograph of the properties of a water film on a marble surface modified by tetradecylammonium chloride (TDACl)

The properties of water layers on bare marble and on marble samples covered with various amounts of tetradecylammonium chloride (TDACl) after flotation were investigated by thermal analysis methods. The dependences of the layer thickness, activation energy, enthalpy and entropy of the bonded watervs. the amount of TDACl previously deposited on the marble surface were determined. The results obtained and the literature data were used to propose an interpretation of the changes caused in these parameters by the coverage of the marble surface with TDACl molecules. A correlation between these parameters and the changes in water structure and marble flotatibility is also presented.

Decomposition of isopropanol on V2O5 of different grain morphology and its relation to o-xylene oxidation catalysts

Decompositon of isopropanol has been studied on V₂O₅ samples of different morphology. It has been shown that the selectivity to acetone increases with the increase in the fraction of (010) plane of V₂O₅ on the sample surface, whereas the selectivity to propene decreases. The results are compared with previous data of o-xylene oxidation on the same samples and discussed in terms of the model of V₂O₅ surface [7].

Effect of water on the desorption of carbon dioxide from the surface of alumina

Based on investigations of temperature-programmed desorption of CO₂ from -Al₂O₃ surface, three forms of CO₂ adsorption differing considerably in quantitative contributions and temperature ranges of desorption have been distinguished. A significant inhibiting influence of water on CO₂ adsorption has been observed. Water adsorption results in gradual blocking of high and medium-energy adsorptive centers of CO₂ on -Al₂O₃.
