Structure sensitivity and coke formation on Pt/Al2O3 catalysts

The initial rate of carbon formation during cyclopentane reaction has been studied on different Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts of varying metal dispersity. It has been shown that coke deposition on the metal is a structure sensitive reaction which is preferably produced on large metallic particles. On the other hand, coke deposition on the whole catalyst is relevant to cyclopentadiene formation and is a structure insensitive reaction since the initial rate of coke deposition on the whole catalyst is proportional to the metallic surface area.

Selective hydrogenation of fatty oils on alloyed Ni?Al catalysts. II. Optimal reaction conditions

The previously suggested kinetic model permits to predict that maximum selectivity towards olein is attained under the limiting diffusional resistance with respect to hydrogen. This conclusion is confirmed by the experimental data obtained in a fixed catalyst bed reactor. Some recommendations to intensify industrial processes are given.

Decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide in the presence of metal 1,2-dithiolate complexes

Metal 1,2-dithiolate complexes were studied as catalysts for decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide. Reaction proceeds by a two-stage process and the first stage, corresponding to destruction of the metal complex, is influenced by the type of metal and substituents on the dithiolate ligand. On average, almost two sulfur atoms in each metal chelate are oxidized to SO₂ or SO₃, which decompose the main part of hydroperoxide.

Structure of Pt/ZnAl2O4 catalysts

The effect of the support preparation technique (solgel and coprecipitation) on the final Pt/ZnAl₂O₄ catalyst is presented. The structural properties of the solids obtained are correlated to the selectivity and activity for isobutane dehydrogenation in H₂ and He reaction media. If a highly dispersed catalyst is suitable, the support has to be prepared by the sol-gel method.

Thermal analysis of carbon anti-burn-on disperse systems used in foundries

Anti-burn-on disperse systems for foundry use, containing carbon (graphite or anthracite after different pretreatments, or mixtures thereof) in carboxymethylcellulose-water, were studied by TG-DTA. Thermal effects are attributed to the evaporation of water, the evolution of other volatiles and the beginning of ignition. TG is useful for determination of the water content.

Thermal analysis of manganese dioxide in controlled atmospheres

TG and DTA curves of-MnO₂ have been obtained in nitrogen, air and oxygen. The reactions MnO₂Mn₂O₃ and Mn₂O₃ Mn₃O₄ were observed in the ranges 450° to 600° and 750° to 1100° respectively, and the decomposition temperatures are affected by the partial pressure of oxygen. The endotherm at 1200° is unaffected by the atmosphere and is not accompanied by weight loss. It is, therefore, due to a polymorphic transformation of Mn₃O₄ rather than formation of MnO. Reaction to form MnO was observed by TG in nitrogen above 1400°, but did not occur on heating in oxygen to 1500°.

Zusammenfassung Die TG und DTA Kurven von-MnO₂ wurden in Stickstoff, Luft und Sauerstoff ermittelt. Die Umwandlungen MnO₂ Mn₂O₃ und Mn₂O₃ Mn₃O₄ wurden im Temperaturbereich von 450° bis 600° bzw. 750° bis 1100° beobachtet. Die Zersetzungstemperaturen werden durch den partiellen Sauerstoffdruck beeinflußt. Der endendothermische Vorgang von 1200° bleibt von der Atmosphäre unbeeinflußt, ist mit keinem Gewichtsverlust verbunden. Er ist eher einer polymorphen Umwandlung von Mn₃O₄ als der Bildung von MnO zuzuschreiben. Die Bildung von MnO wurde thermogravimetrisch in Stickstoff oberhalb 1400° beobachtet, nicht jedoch in Sauerstoff bis zu 1500°.

Résumé Etude de-MnO₂ par TG et par ATD, dans l'azote, dans l'air et dans l'oxygène. Entre 450 et 600° on observe la réaction MnO₂Mn₂O₃ et entre 750 et 1100° Mn₂O₃ Mn₃O₄. La pression partielle de l'oxygène influence la température de la décomposition. A 1200°, il apparaît un phénomène endothermique undépendant de la nature de l'atmosphère et qui ne s'accompagne d'aucune variation de poids. C'est pourquoi il est attribué à une transformation polymorphique de Mn₃O₄ plutôt qu'à la formation de MnO. Celle-ci s'observe en TG au-dessus de 1400°, dans l'azote, mais ne se produit pas par chauffage dans l'oxygène jusqu'à 1500°.

Influence of the particle size of metal in the hydrogenolysis of n-butane on carbon supported iron catalysts

The hydrogenolysis of n-butane on different carbon supported iron catalysts has been studied. Changes in activity, product distribution, apparent activation energy and frequency factor were found to be a function of particle size. This behavior is explained as a change in the reaction mechanism, which also leads to the isomerization of n-butane in the case of catalysts with higher dispersity.

Effect of vibrational excitation on the reactivity of methyl fluoride with bromine atoms

The influence of non-equilibrium vibrational excitation of CH₃F molecules on the rate of their reaction with bromine atoms has been investigated. A three-fold increace in the reaction rate has been registered at CH₃F and Br₂ pressures of 0.07 Torr and at 100°C. The increase is shown not to be associated with equilibrium thermal heating.

Sorption of H2, O2 and CO on bimetallic catalysts Pd?Ag/Al2O3 over a wide temperature range

Adsorption of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide on Pd–Ag/Al₂O₃ catalysts of different compositions within the temperature range from 293 to 773 K has been investigated. Adsorption measurements have been carried out by the pulse chromatographic method. The results obtained reflect interactions of the above adsorbates with the alloy surface, strongly enriched in silver atoms, as a result of surface segregation processes.
