Surface Energy Changes of Heat Treated TEOS Derived Silica Xerogels

The surface energy of monolithic silica xerogels was examined by measuring the interaction of organic probes with xerogels heated at temperatures close to the gel-to-glass transition temperature. Values of the dispersive component of the surface energy, , between 60 and 80 mJ m^-2 have been observed using n-alkanes for silica xerogels heated at 700, 800 and 900°C. At 1000°C, decreases to 8.37 mJ · m^-2. Also the differential heat of adsorption, variation of standard free energy and entropy of adsorption decrease when the silica xerogel is heated at 1000°C, showing a lower interaction potential of the organic probes with the silica surface. For the silica xerogels heated between 700 and 900°C, the acid character varies in accordance with the variation of the chemical nature of the silica. Upon heating at 1000°C, both acid and base characters are very close in accordance with a neutral surface. Within the experimental conditions used in this work, the surface of the obtained monolithic silica xerogels behaves as a glass surface when the treating temperature is 1000°C.

On the reduction of Pd2+ forms in Pd/γ-Al2O3 catalysts

The influence of the preparation method (i.e., Pd precursor and heat treatments) on the reduction pattern of Pd/-Al₂O₃ catalysts has been investigated by TPR. The role of the Cl^– ions and the effect of metal dispersity on the stability of Pd catalysts reduced at different T_r (400T_r800°C) have been discussed. Reoxidation of Pd^o occurs during exposure to the atmosphere and the formation both of easily reducible PdO forms and Cl-containign Pd²⁺ oxo-complexes, strongly interacting with alumina surface, has been pointed out.     

Studies on styrene phosphonic acid

Some properties of styrene phosphonic acid (SPA) were studied. The crystals were triclinic, witha=0.6434 nm,b=0.5842 nm,c=2.0338 nm, =96.17°, =97.33°, =79.65° andZ=4. SPA underwent a change in crystal structure at 78.8°C, the hydrocarbon network became disordered (liquid-like) at 138.5°C. Crystals melted at 148.6°C giving a cubic mesophase, then changed to an isotropic liquid at 155.6°C and at 162.13°C SPA underwent decomposition. Values for pK₁=2.15 and pK₂=7.66 were obtained at 25°C. The water solubility of SPA at several temperatures, and its interaction with surfactant micelles were determined.     

Phase equilibria in the Ag4SSe-SnTe system

The phase diagram of the system Ag₄SSe-SnTe is studied by means of X-ray diffraction, differential thermal and metallographic analyses and measurements of the microhardness and the density of the material. This diagram is divided into two eutectic-type subdiagrams by the composition Ag₄SSe·2SnTe. The unit-cell parameters of the intermediate phases 3Ag₄SSe·SnTe (phase A) and -Ag₄SSe·2SnTe (phase B) are determined as follows: for phase A: a=0.7851 nm, b=0.7196 nm, c=0.6296 nm, =101.32°, =85.90°, =111.36°; for phase B: a=0.3662 nm, b=0.3303 nm, c=0.3343 nm, =90.74°, =108.94°, =91.91°. The phase Ag4SSe·2SnTe melts congruently at 615°C and a polymorphic transition of the phase takes place at T _- =110°C.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Décomposition thermique du sulfite de fer(II) anhydre

Résumé Sous azote ou sous vide, le sulfite ferreux anhydre se décompose vers 210° en magnétite, pyrite et dioxyde de soufre. Concurremment une réaction de dismutation intervient avec formation de FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ et FeS₂. Lorsque la température atteint 320°, la pyrite et le sulfate réagissent ensemble pour donner Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ et SO₂. Au-delà de 370° le sulfure ferreux non-stchiométrique commence à réagir à son tour avec le sulfate restant pour former de la magnetite et du dioxyde de soufre.

In nitrogen or under vacuum, anhydrous iron(II) sulfite decomposes near 210° to magnetite, pyrite and sulfur dioxide. A parallel disproportionation reaction occurs with formation of FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ and FeS₂. When the temperature reaches 320°, pyrite and sulfate react together to give Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ and SO₂. Above 370° the non-stoichiometric ferrous sulfide begins to react with the remaining sulfate to give magnetite and sulfur dioxide.

First and second thermodynamic mixing properties of ethylbenzene +n-alkanes: Experimental and theory

Isobaric expansibilities _P and isothermal compressibilities _T have been determined at 25 and 45°C for binary mixtures of ethylbenzene + n-tetradecane and + n-hexadecane and the corresponding excess functions (V ^E /T)_P and (V ^E /P)_T have also been obtained. With these data and supplementary literature values, the following second order mixing properties are also reported at 25°C: _S ^E , (V ^E /P)_T, C_V and (VT). All mixing quantities have been compared with the results obtained at 25°C by using the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory of liquid mixtures. The predicted values suggest that the ability of ethylbenzene as a breaker of the pure n-C_n orientations is similar to what we found for toluene and higher than for p-xylene.     

Study of thermal properties of endellite clay compound

The temperature dependence of the thermal properties (specific heat,C _p, thermal diffusivity,a, and thermal conductivity,K) of endellite clay has been investigated over the temperature rangeR·TT/280 °C using the plane temperature wave technique. The experimental results showed that in the initial stage of temperature rise botha andK diminish exponentially with increasing temperature up to 100 °C. Above 100 °C, the thermal parameters are found to reach stable values, namely,C _p=0.22±0.008 cal g^–1 deg^–1,a=(5.0±0.18)–10^–4 cm² sec^{– 1} andK=(2.2±0.16) · 10^–4 cal cm^–1 sec^–1 deg^–1.

Polymorphism of (+)N-tosyl-L-glutamic acid

It has been shown that polymorphism is the reason for the occurrence of (+)N-tosyl-L-glutamic acid 1 with various melting points. 1 occurs in two crystalline forms: and . Form -1 (prisms) having a melting point of 145–147°C is chemically pure and stable. Form -1, however, is unstable and is formed as a result of the stabilizing effect of an organic solvent not introduced into the structure of the crystal. At about 125°C the forms is transformed to the form. The melting point of the form depends on the amount and type of solvent contained in the crystal, which, during measurement cannot leave the system.

Excess enthalpies of aqueous solutions of small peptides at 25°C

Heats of dilution of aqueous solutions of the following di-and tripeptides were determined at 25°C over a wide concentration range: -alanyl-glycine, -alanyl--alanine, DL--alanyl-glycine, glycyl-DL--alanine, L--alanyl-L-alanine, DL--alanyl-DL--alanine, DL--alanyl-DL-valine, DL--alanyl--alanine, glycyl--aminobutyric acid, glycyl-L-leucine and DL--alanyl-glycylglycine. The excess enthalpies H^ex and partial molar relative enthalpies L₂ were calculated and enthalpy coefficients of intermolecular interaction were analysed using the additivity principle of Savage and Wood. The concentration dependence of the enthalpic characteristics of peptide-peptide interactions is discussed based on of their hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity. The three-stage model of peptide association is described using enthalpic coefficients of intermolecular interactions.
