Potassium addition to Fe/MgO, Ni/MgO and Ni/SiO2: Reducibility, dispersity and stabilization of the promoter by the support

The influence of potassium addition on the morphological properties of Fe/MgO and Ni/MgO has been investigated: KNO₃ addition to precursors results in a decrease of the reducibility and in a smaller dispersity of the metallic phase. A loss of potassium is observed at reduction temperatures in excess of 773 K. Silica-supported Ni behaves differently: silica inhibits the potassium volatilization and nickel reducibility is enhanced. This illustrates how promoter effects can be influenced by the nature of support.

Reactions of isoflavone and 2-hydroxyisoflavanone with sodium ethoxide in anhydrous ethanol

Recent observation /1,4/ on the existence and unreactivity of IV under basic conditions, as well as its part in the inhibitory effect on the decomposition into deoxybenzoin is unequivocally proved by comparing the decompositions of I and VI. It is also shown that the decomposition of I is detemined neither by the character of the solvent nor by the nucleophilic character of the reactant, but by the possibility of the formation of IV.

Micellar effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate on the reactions between iron(II) and p-benzoquinone, and iron(III) and hydroquinone

The micellar effet of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the initial stages of the reaction between (1) Fe(II) and p-benzoquinone, and (2) Fe(III) and hydroquinone have been investigated. In the former case acceleration was observed, the rate-[surfactant] profile showing a maximum. SDS has an inhibitory effect on the latter reaction. Kinetic analysis has been carried out using Berezin's approach.

Mechanism of hydrogenolysis and isomerization of oxacyloalkanes on metals, V. Selectivities of metal catalysts in ring-opening reactions of oxiranes

The deoxygenation of methyloxirane to propene and its isomerization to oxo compounds on a Ni/SiO₂ catalyst were studied in a pulse microreactor, in the presence of H₂ as carrier gas, at 473 K. It was found that the deoxigenation leads to the creation of new types of active centers (Lewis acid site-basic site), which cause a change in the direction of ring opening. The differences in regioselectivity observed between Ni and Cu, and Pt and Pd, can be explained by the different affinities of the metals for oxygen. This finding can be generalized to other oxygen-containing compounds.

Kinetics and mechanism of ketone-bisulfite addition reaction in aqueous solution

The kinetics of the addition of bisulfite to acetone has been studied by the polarographic technique. The specific rate increases with pH and hence the reaction is probably base catalyzed. Mechanisms have been suggested for the reaction in the presence and absence of added base.

Kinetics of oxidative regeneration of zeolites

The analysis of the kinetic data on the oxidation of nondesorbed macromolecules in NaX zeolites confirms a hypothesis concerning two mechanisms of deactivation of microporous adsorbents in multicycle processes. An equation to describe the kinetics of two-stepoxidation of nondesorbed substances is suggested.

Effect of pressure on the rate of n-heptane conversion on Pt/Al2O3 catalysts

The effect of pressure on the rates of product formation in n-heptane conversion on Pt/Al₂O₃ has been studied at 490 °C over the pressure range of 10–50 atm. It has been shown that the rate of isomerization is practically independent of pressure, and the dependence of the rates of dehydrocyclization and hydrocracking on pressure is described by simple kinetic equations. The reaction order of dehydrocyclization with respect to hydrogen tends to –2.0 at high pressures.

Neighboring amide group participation in ester aminolysis in aprotic solvents

The piperidinolysis of 8-quinolyl-, p-nitrophenyl-, o-, and p-piperidinocarbonylphenyl acetates in acetonitrile and in chlorobenzene was studied at 25°C. The strictly second order kinetic behaviour and the weaks solvent-dependence of the rate of the reaction of o-piperidinocarbonylphenyl acetate indicate anchimeric assistance by the o-amide group, and support the suggestion that amide groups of hydrophobic enzyme active sites may act as general base catalysts.

Thermal characterization of bismaleimide blends

4,4-bismaleimidophenyl methane (BM) and 3,3-bismaleimidophenyl sulfone (BS) were blended in solution using weight ratios 31 (MS31), 21 (MS21), 11 (MS11), 12 (MS12) and 13 (MS13). Chain extended bismaleimide resins were also prepared by treating BS/BM with 4,4-diaminodiphenyl ether in molar ratios of 10.3 (BM-E and BS-E resins). These resins were also blended with bismaleimides and the curing characteristics were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry. Increase in BM content in BMBS blends or increase in chain extended bismaleimide content in BM-EBS or BS-E BM blends resulted in a reduction of melting and curing temperatures. Indication about the extent of cross-linking was obtained from solubility measurements (in DMF) of isothermally cured resins (180 °C, lh and 220 °C, lh in an air oven). Thermogravimetric analysis of samples isothermally cured at 180 °C and 220 °C (lh each) was carried out in nitrogen atmosphere. Improvement in thermal stability of chain extended bismaleimides was observed on blending.

Zusammenfassung 4,4-Bismalimidophenyl-methan (BM) und 3,3-Bismalimidophenyl-sulfon (BS) wurden in Lösung in den Gewichtsverhältnissen 31 (MS31), 21 (MS21), 11 (MS11), 12 (MS12) und 13 (MS13) gemischt. Auch kettenpolymerisierten Bismalimid-Harze wurden durch Behandlung von BS/BM mit Diaminodiphenylether im Molverhältnis 10,3 dargestellt (BM-E- und BS-E-Harze). Die Kennwerte der Aushärtung von Mischungen dieser Harze mit den Bismalimiden wurden mittels DSC ermittelt. Eine Erhöhung des BM-Gehaltes in den BM BS-Mischungen oder des Gehaltes der BM-E BS oder BS-E-Mischungen an kettenpolymerisierten Bismalimiden führt zu einer Erniedrigung der Schmelz- und Aushärtetemperaturen. Hinweise über den Vernetzungsgrad wurden aus Löslichkeitsmessungen (in DMF) von Isotherm (je 1 Stunde bei 180 und 220 °C in Luft) gehärteten Harzen erhalten. Die thermogravimetrische Analyse der Isotherm bei 180 bzw. 220 °C 1 Stunde ausgehärteten Proben wurde in Stickstoffatmosphäre ausgeführt. Die thermische Stabilität der Bismalimide wird durch Verschneiden verbessert.

Role of tellurium in the oxidation of 1-butene on Te-doped CdMoO4

New active and selective catalysts were prepared by adding different quantities of Te to CdMoO₄. These were already selective at low Te levels, but the one with a Cd/Te/Mo ratio of 1/1/1 was specific for butadiene. The catalytic behavior of the Cd–Te–Mo–O system has been correlated mainly with the CdTeMoO₆ phase in the region rich in Te and with the CdMoO₄ phase with Te as dopant in the region poor in Te.

Determination of metal dispersity of Pd/SiO2 catalysts by transmission electron microscopy and H2?O2 chemisorption

Dispersity of palladium for a series of Pd/SiO₂ catalysts has been determined by TEM and H₂–O₂ chemisorption. The mean crystallite dimensions obtained by these methods have been compared. Assuming O/Pd_s to be 0.6 for Pd crystallites larger than 9 nm, good agreement has been observed between the results of the two experimental methods.
