Catalytic properties of V?Mo?O systems in acrolein oxidation

Catalytic properties of V–Mo–O systems have been studied in acrolein oxidation. When catalysts are activated in reaction mixtures at 673 K, then a solid solution of molybdenum oxides in reduced vanadium oxides is formed, which is responsible for deep oxidation. Also, several compounds are produced, which by their activity and selectivity to acrylic acid formation are arranged in the sequences VMo₃O₁₁VMo₂O_8+x>V₆Mo₄O₂₅, and VMo₃O₁₁>VMo₂O_8+xV₆Mo₄O₂₅, respectively.

The thermal properties of polysiloxanes poly(dimethyl siloxane) and poly(diethyl siloxane)

New measurements and literature data on polysiloxanes covering heat capacities, transition parameters, enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies are presented and critically reviewed. TheATHAS computation method is used to bring heat capacities into agreement with an approximate frequency spectrum. The various crystal and mesophases are discussed. TheATHAS (1990) recommended data are as follows: For poly(dimethyl siloxane) the glass transition is at 146 K with an increase in heat capacity of 29.24 J/(K mol). The completely crystalline sample melts at about 219 K with a heat of fusion of 2.75 kJ/mol. For poly(diethyl siloxane) the glass transition is at 135 K with an increase in heat capacity of 34.48 J/(K mol). The completely crystalline sample changes to a condis crystal at 206.7 K with a heat of disordering of 2.72 kJ/mol. The transition to a poorly characterized viscous crystal with thermodynamic properties close to the melt occurs at 282.7 K with an enthalpy of transition of 1.84 kJ/mol. Final fusion occurs at 308.5 K and a small endotherm of about 231 J/mol. Tables of heat capacities, enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies are given from 0 K to 550 K.

Zusammenfassung Neue Messungen und Literaturangaben von Polysiloxanen über Wärmekapazität, Umwandlungsparameter, Enthalpien, Entropien und Gibbssche Energien werden vorgestellt und kritisch betrachtet. Das Rechenverfahren ATHAS wurde benutzt, um die Wärmekapazitäten mit einem annähernden Frequenzspektrum in Einklang zu bringen. Es wurden die verschiedenen Kristall- und Mesophasen diskutiert. Die von ATHAS (1990) empfohlenen Werte sind wie folgt: Für Poly(dimethylsiloxan) beträgt der Glasumwandlungspunkt 146 K bei Zunahme der Wärmekapazität um 29.24 J/(K.mol). Die vollständing kristalline Probe schmilzt bei etwa 219 K mit einer Schmelzwärme von 2.75 kJ/mol. Für Poly(diethylsiloxan) beträgt der Glasumwandlungspunkt 135 K bei Zunahme der Wärmekapazität um 34.48 J/(K.mol). Die vollständig kristalline Probe wandelt sich bei 206.7 K um, die Fehlordnungswärme beträgt 2.72 kJ/mol. Die Umwandlung in einen wenig verstandenen viskosen Kristall, dessen thermodynamische Eigenschaften denen der Schmelze gleichen, erfolgt bei 282.7 K mit einer Umwandlungsenthalpie von 1.84 kJ/mol. Letztendlich verläuft das Schmelzen bei 308.5 K mit einem kleinen endothermen Effekt von etwa 231 J/mol. Wärmekapazitäten, Enthalpien, Entropien und Gibbssche Energien sind für den Bereich 0 K–550 K tabellarisch angegeben.

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.

Hydrocarbon hydrogenolysis on nickel-tin catalysts

Hydrogenolysis of ethane, n-hexane and cyclohexane has been studied on nickel-kieselguhr catalysts modified by organic and inorganic compounds of tin. Tin additives decrease nickel reactivity with respect to C–C dissociation, which is ascribed to the formation of surface intermetallides on the catalyst.

Photolysis of alkylperoxy radicals frozen out from the gas phase

Photolysis of alkylperoxy radicals with 250 nm light has been studied and proposed for investigation of heterogeneous-homogeneous reactions by freezing out radicals from the gas phase and their ESR identification. Using amine decomposition reaction in the presence of O₂ as an example, we have shown that photodissociation of frozen peroxy radicals can be used to reduce the structure of initial alkyl radicals.

Cyclohexane photooxygenation by air oxygen in CH2Cl2 in the presence of chromium oxocomplex-iodosylbenzene system

Cyclohexane is oxidized by air oxygen in CH₂Cl₂ solution to yield cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone and cyclohexyl chloride when irradiated by light (>310 nm) in the presence of (Bu₄N)₂CrO₄ or (Bu₃SnO)₂CrO₂. The addition of PhIO greatly accelerates the reaction and increases the yield of products. The reaction mixture contains neither cyclohexanol nor cyclohexanone when the photoreaction in the presence of the Cr(VI)–PhIO system is carried out in argon atmosphere. Hence neither iodosylbenzene nor oxochromium compounds can be oxygen atom donors in alkane oxygenation. The accelerating effect of iodosylbenzene may be due to the enhanced oxidizing power of photo-excited oxochromium species when coordinated to iodosylbenzene.

Stability of hyperbolic reactors

For the one-phase tubular reactor, a new mathematical model is suggested, viz. a hyperbolic system of first order partial differential equations instead of the usual second order parabolic ones. This physically better model is investigated from the point of view of stability via the second Lyapunov method.

Cadmium induced changes of the metabolic activity of the freshwater snailPlanorbis corneus estimated by direct calorimetry

By use of f1ow-microcalorimetric studies the effect of cadmium in the sublethal concentration range (0.5-h LC_{5 0} is 1.69 mg/l) on the metabolic activity of the freshwater snailPlanorbis corneus was revealed. The high toxicity was confirmed by the change in the heat production rate (mean value is 453 W/g fresh weigth) in a cadmium perfusate down to a concentration of 0.01 g/l. The decrease in heat output depended on the cadmium concentration and amounted from 19% at 0.01 g/l to 88% at 1000 g/l. The microcalorimetric method proved to be a useful continuous-f1ow technique to assess qualitatively and quantitatively the toxic effects of cadmium on an aquatic organism already 4 hours after exposure.
