V2O5/TiO2 oxidation catalysts, III. Oxidation of CO on pure and sodium-doped systems

The activity of vanadia/titania catalysts in CO oxidation has been tested and found to be of the same order as that observed for unsupported vanadia; the simultaneous presence of vanadium-sodium compounds cancels the activity, probably because of the elimination of labile V=0 species at surface defects.

Reduction behavior of Cu?SiO2 catalyst prepared by ion exchange for selective dehydrogenation to produce methyl formate from methanol

Reducibility of Cu–SiO₂ catalyst prepared by ion exchange method, being effective for selective dehydrogenation to produce methyl formate from methanol at lower temperatures, has been studied by a TPR technique. The results suggest that easier reduction leads to an increase of dispersity of Cu particles.

Parent and mixed ligand complexes in the copper(II)-ethylene glycol-sulphate system

Eleven copper(II)-ethylene glycol-sulphate complexes of different compositions were prepared, one of them-CuGl₂(H₂O)₂SO₄-in single-crystal form. A thermoanalytical study of these complexes revealed three types of thermal decomposition pattern. The X-ray structure of the single-crystal demonstrated the presence of ethylene glycol bridges resulting in endless chains in the crystal.

On the catalytic system MgO?Na

Acid-base and radical properties of two sets of MgO–Na catalysts have been studied. The catalysts were prepared (I) by impregnation of MgO with NaOH in aqueous solution, and (II) by evaporation of metallic sodium onto a MgO surface. The catalyst prepared by the second method was much more basic than pure MgO (H_o=35) and showed a high activity in olefin isomerization.

Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of hydrogen from a NiNaY zeolite after reduction

By TPD it could be shown that hydrogen desorption of a reduced NiY-zeolite stoichiometrically corresponds to the decrease of reduction degree. Therefore, the reason for hydrogen abstraction should be a partial reoxidation of Ni⁰.

Temperature measurements with a differential calorimeter

A differential microcalorimeter was used for the reading of transition temperatures. The inherent factors in both the instrument and the sample which may introduce variables in temperature measurements carried out with the calorimeter were studied together with modifications of the reading methods. An accurate technique is described for the preparation of the sample and measurement of temperature. The proposed method, when applied to organic standards of very high and of decreasing purity, gives an accuracy of temperature reading in the order of ±0.1°, and confirms a relationship between experimental and theoretical values.

Thermal analysis of spurrite from a rotary cement kiln

A number of samples from the pre-burning zone of a wet-process cement rotary kiln were examined by combined DTA/TG and XRD for estimation of spurrite (2Ca₂SiO₄·CaCO₃). It was found that decarbonation temperatures of spurrite range from 1130 to 1190 K and they are 45 to 75 K higher than that of calcite occurring in the same sample. In the TG curves calcite and spurrite can be easily distinguished and accordingly both can be estimated from the same TG scan. Combined DTA/TG, supplemented by XRD, is a very effective method for qualitative and quantitative estimation of spurrite in cement rotary kiln materials.

Zusammenfassung Unter kombinierter Anwendung von DTA/TG und Röntgendiffraktionsverfahren wurde eine Anzahl Proben aus einem Vorkalzinator eines Drehrohrofens zur Zementherstellung nach dem Naßverfahren auf Spurrit (2Ca₂SiO₄·CaCO₃) untersucht. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Temperatur für das Austreiben von CO₂ bei Spurrit zwischen 1130 und 1190 K und somit um 45–75 °C höher als bei in derselben Probe vorliegenden Kalzit liegt. Aufgrund der TG-Kurven können Kalzit und Spurrit leicht voneinander unterschieden und demzufolge mit einem einzigen TG-Scan bestimmt werden. Kombinierte DTA/TG, ergänzt durch Röntgendiffraktionsverfahren ist eine sehr leistungsstarke Methode zur qualitativen und quantitativen Bestimmung von Spurrit in Stoffen aus Zementdrehrohröfen.

Thermal and photochemical stability of polystyrene and its blends with polyvinyl chloride

The influence of some irregularities in polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) chains on their thermal stability was investigated. UV irradiation caused an increase in the content of these irregularities in the polymers. It was found that the presence of carbonyl groups and crosslinking of the polymer chains hamper the thermal dehydrochlorination of PVC and the total decomposition of both polymers. On the other hand, weak peroxy linkages (which facilitate degradation processes) and conjugated double bonds decrease the temperature of total decomposition of PS and PVC blends.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde der Einfluß von Unregmlmäßigkeiten in Polystyrol (PS)- und Polyvinylchlorid (PVC)-Ketten auf deren thermische Stabilität untersucht. UV-Bestrahlung verursacht ein Ansteigen des Gehaltes an Unregelmäßigkeiten in den Polymeren. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Gegenwart von Carbonylgruppen und Querverbindungen der Polymerketten die thermische Dehydrochlorierung von PVC und eine vollständige Zersetzung beider Polymere verhindern. Andererseits senken Peroxidverknüpfungen (die die Degradierungsvorgänge erleichtern) und konjugierte Doppelbindungen die Temperatur für eine vollständige Zersetzung von PS und PVC Gemischen.
