Prediction of the catalytic action of oxide catalysts in allyl oxidation of propylene

Concepts are described according to which an efficient catalyst of propylene oxidation to acrolein should contain oxygen of two types — nucleophilic and electrophilic. This can be ensured by a combination of an amphoteric oxide and an oxide of a high-valent element. The distribution of the products of allyl oxidation also depends on the collective properties of a catalyst.

Contribution de l'analyse thermique a l'etude des acides humiques et de leurs sels de sodium

Résumé On a étudié le comportement thermique sous oxygène des acides humiques et de leurs sels de sodium. On prépare les humates de sodium, soit par neutralisation des acides humiques, soit par dialyse de leurs pseudo-solutions dans la soude. L'examen des spectres infrarouges et de diffraction X des prélèvements effectués entre les étapes de dissociation (suivie par ATD-TG -TGD) suggère un double mécanisme. Au-dessous de 500°, il s'est formé du carbonate de sodium et du carbone. Dès 600°, débute la dissociation du carbonate. Le carbone restant s'oxyde brutalement à 770°. L'importance de la réaction varie avec la teneur initiale en sodium.

The thermal behaviour of humic acids and their sodium salts in oxygen has been studied. The sodium humates were prepared by neutralization of humic acids or by dialysis of their pseudosolutions in sodium hydroxide. Infrared and X-ray diffraction spectra of samples taken between the dissociation steps obtained from the DTA-TG-DTG curves suggest a double mechanism. Below 500°, sodium carbonate and carbon are formed. At 600°, the dissociation of carbonate starts. The residual carbon burns at once at 770°. The extent of reaction changes with the amount of sodium initially present.

Zusammenfassung Es wird über die Untersuchung der thermischen Eigenschaften von Huminsäuren und ihren Natriumsalzen unter Sauerstoff berichtet Letztere wurden entweder durch Neutralisation der entsprechenden Huminsäuren oder durch Dialyse ihrer Pseudolösungen in Natriumhydroxyd erzeugt. Die infrarotspektroskopische und röntgenanalytische Prüfung von zwischen zwei (durch DTA, TG und DTG verfolgte) Dissoziationen entnommenen Proben zeigt zwei Vorgänge. Unter 500° werden Natriumkarbonat und Kohle gebildet. Bei 600° beginnt die Dissoziation des Karbonats. Die zurückbleibende Kohle wird bei 770° plötzlich oxidiert.

Testing the photocatalytic activity of cyanogen-and thiocyanogen-based inorganic polymers

The photocatalytic properties of some cyanogen-and thiocyanogen-based inorganic polymers, such as paracyanogens containing different metals (Hg, Ag, Cu), polythiocyanogens of different iodine contents, polycyanogen and poly (cyanogenthiocyanate), have been tested in two systems. Cu-containing paracyanogen and the iodine-poor polythiocyanogens catalyze the photoreduction of methylviologen under visible light, furthermore the Cu-containing paracyanogen catalyzes the photoreduction of water to hydrogen under UV irradiation.

Untersuchungen zur Thermischen Zersetzung von Aluminiumchloridhexahydrat unter Dynamischen und Quasiisothermen Bedingungen

Zusammenfassung Die Zersetzung des Aluminiumchloridhexahydrats wurde mit Differentialthermoanalyse und Thermogravimetrie in Kombination mit Thermogastitrimetrie unter Anwendung eines Q-Derivatographs untersucht. Es wurde gefunden, daß die Reaktion zu Aluminiumoxid über die Zwischenstufe eines basischen Aluminiumchlorids abläuft. Aus dem Vergleich der unter dynamischen und quasiisothermen Heizbedingungen erhaltenen Ergebnisse folgt, daß diese Zwischenstufe nur unter quasiisothermen Bedingungen beobachtbar ist.

The decomposition of aluminium chloride hexahydrate was examined by differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry in combination with evolved gas analysis. The examinations were carried out by means of a Q-Derivatograph. It was found that in the course of the decomposition reaction the compound transformed into aluminium oxide through the formation of basic aluminium chloride as intermediate. Comparison of the curves obtained under dynamic and quasi-isothermal heating conditions showed that the formation of the above intermediate could be observed only under quasiisothermal heating conditions.

Kinetics and mechanism of elimination of methoxyphenethyl chlorides in the gas phase

The kinetics for the gas phase elimination of o-and m-methoxy-2-phenylethyl chlorides have been investigated over the temperature range of 390-464°C and pressure range of 38–119 Torr. The reactions in seasoned vessels and in the presence of the free radical inhibitor propene, are homogeneous and unimolecular and follow a first-order rate law. The o-anisyl and p-anisyl substituents at the -position of ethyl chloride assist anchimerically the elimination processes. The formation of a cyclic product, benzodihydrofuran, from o-methoxy-2-phenylethyl chloride suggests an intimate ion pair mechanism operating in this reaction.

Solid-state decomposition studies on fluoroperoxo species of transition metals part II

The kinetics of isothermal decomposition of solid K₂Zr₂(O₂)₂F₆·2H₂O have been studied in the temperature range 100–226° under vacuum. The fractional decomposition has been determined by measuring the pressure of evolved oxygen during pyrolysis with the help of a McLeod gauge. The values ranged from 0.05 to 0.62. The vs. t data showed that the kinetics are deceleratory throughout the course of the reaction. The initial part of the decomposition reaction could be best described by a unimolecular decay law, while the later stages obey contracting volume kinetics. The activation energies have been determined and the respective values for the above stages are 13.6 and 6.9 kcal·mole^–1.

Zusammenfassung Die Kinetik der isothermen Zersetzung von festen K₂Zr₂(O₂)₂F₆·2H₂O wurde im Temperaturbereich von 100–226° im Vakuum untersucht. Die fraktionierte Zersetzung wurde durch Messung des Druckes des während der Pyrolyse entwickelten Sauerstoffs mit einem McLeod-Manometer bestimmt. Die -Werte variierten von 0.05 bis 0.62. Die -t Daten zeigen, daß die Kinetik im Verlauf der Reaktion herabgesetzt wird. Der erste Teil der Zersetzungsreaktion konnte am besten durch ein unimolekulares Zerfallgesetzt beschrieben werden, während die späteren Phasen der Kinetik der Volumenkontraktion gehorchten. Die Aktivierungsenergien wurden berechnet und die entsprechenden Werte für obige Reaktionen ergaben sich 13.6 bzw. 6.9 Kcal mol^–1.

Properties of highly dispersed supported catalysts in hydrogenation reactions

Pt/sol and Pt/support catalysts with 6–15 Å Pt particles have been established to be low active in the hydrogenation of propargyl alcohol, butyn-l-ol-3 and dimethylethynylcarbinol. The specific catalytic activity significantly rises with increasing d_Pt above 15 Å and after the thermal treatment of highly dispersed catalysts in a hydrogen flow.

Zeolite content determination in kaolinic clays via thermal effects

For application in catalysis and adsorption processes, zeolites are synthesized on the surface of spray-dried kaolin microspheres. Various thermal effects are used for the rapid characterization of the zeolite type and content. From DTA measurements, the exothermic lattice break-down peak gives information on the zeolite type and the thermal stability of the sample. Measurements of the heats of immersion by a very simple and quick method allow conclusions about the type and the sorption properties of the zeolite part of the clay. The most precise method to estimate the zeolite content was a standardized technique of desorption and readsorption of water or organic compounds by means of a thermobalance.

Zusammenfassung Zur Anwendung in der Katalyse und bei Adsorptinsprozessen werden Zeolithe auf der Oberfläche sprüh-getrockneter Kaolin-Mikrokugeln eingesetzt. Verschiedene thermische Effekte werden zur schnellen Charakterisierung des Zeolith-Typs und -Gehalts genutzt. Der exotherme DTA-peak beim Gitterzusammenbruch liefert Informationen über Zeolith-Typ und thermische Stabilität der Probe. Eine sehr einfache Schnellmethode zur Messung der Immersionswärmen erlaubt Schlussfolgerungen über Typ und Sorptionseigenschaften des zeolithischen Anteils des Tons. Die genaueste Methode zur Bewertung des Zeolithgehalts war eine standardisierte thermogravimetrische Desorptions- und Readsorptions-Methode mit Wasser oder organiscen Verbindungen.

Heterogeneous-homogeneous decomposition of HNO3

In contrast to ZSM zeolites impregnated with V⁵⁺ salts, catalysts prepared by adding V³⁺ salts during zeolite synthesis exhibited (even when transformed into cristobalite by oxidative activation) higher selectivity to furane in the oxidation of butadiene. Non-oxidative activation preserved the zeolitic structure and increased both the total activity and the selectivity to furane.
