Non-catalyzed oscillation reaction in the aniline-KBrO3?H2SO4 system. II. Reaction products and their oscillating behavior

By means of thin-layer and gas chromatography the reaction products have been determined in the oscillation system of aniline, KBrO₃ and H₂SO₄. These products include: 2-bromoaniline, 4-bromoaniline, 2,4-dibromoaniline, 2,4,6-tribromoaniline, 1,4-benzoquinone, 2-bromo-1,4-benzoquinone, 2,6-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone and a brominated oxidation product. The brominated aniline derivatives do not exhibit an oscillating behavior, and the addition of these substances to an oscillating mixture damps the course of other oscillations.

Selectivity of catalytic processes under forced cyclic operation

The influence of oscillations in the feed concentration on the selectivity of a catalytic process has been studied for parallel reactions. The selectivity increase in periodic operations depends on both the type of kinetic functions and the non-steady-state properties of the catalysts.

Changes in the surface characteristics of residues from the thermal decomposition of nickel oxysalts

The changes in surface area and density which occur during the decomposition of eight nickel oxysalts have been reported. Surface area peaks were observed in the temperature range 473 K to 673 K. An equation relating to the number of product particles (n) produced from a single particle of original material has been derived. Logn was shown to vary linearly with temperature, wheren is the number of product particles formed from one original reactant particle.

Dehydration-dehydrogenation of 1- and 2-butanols on lanthanide oxide catalysts

Catalytic decomposition of 1- and 2-butanols on the rare earth oxides CeO₂, Pr₆O₁₁, and Me₂O₃ (Me=La, Sm, Eu, Dy, Ho and Yb) has been studied. Dehydration-dehydrogenation selectivity of these oxides was analyzed from the point of view of the fractional selectivity (S_F). For the decomposition of 2-butanol and the product distribution on the lanthanide oxides, preferential orientation to Hofmann olefin as well as a cis/trans ratio slightly higher than that of the equilibrium value is observed.

Thermogravimetric and kinetic study of a clodronic acid complex formed with sodium

Thermal stability of the clodronic acid complex formed with sodium (Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂ ·4H₂O) was studied using both dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric analyses as well as mass spectra. The thermal decomposition has two stages: dehydration and loss of two molecules of hydrogen chloride. Using the isothermal TG data the first step was found to be a phase-boundary reaction while the second step obviously cannot be described with just one reaction mechanism. The final residue of the dynamic TG analyses above 810 K was found to be sodium metaphosphate.

Zusammenfassung Sowohl mittels dynamischer und thermogravimetrischer Untersuchungen als auch and Hand von Massenspektren wurde die thermische Stabilität des mit Natrium gebildeten Säurekomplexes Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂·4H₂O untersucht. Die thermische Zersetzung vollzieht sich in zwei Schritten: Dehydratation und Verlust von zwei Molekülen HCl. Auf Grund der isothermen TG Angaben ist der erste Schritt eine Phasengrenzreaktion, während der zweite Schritt mit einem einzigen Reaktionsmechanismus nicht eindeutig beschrieben werden kann. Das Endprodukt der DTG Analyse oberhalb 810 K erwies sich als Natriummethaphosphat.

Application of emissionless infrared diffuse reflectance spectrometry for following reactions of adsorbed alcohols on an alumina catalyst

IR spectra of adsorbed alcohols on alumina were measured under the reaction conditions at elevated temperatures. The transient response of IR absorption intensity indicates that alkoxides are reactive adsorbed species but carboxylates are not. The rate constants of surface reactions were calculated from the transient response.

Thermal studies by TG and DTG on some homobinuclear dihalide-bridged iron(III) complexes of the general type [Fe(S₂CNR₂)₂X]₂(}-X ₂) were carried out in air and nitrogen atmospheres. The apparent activation energies were determined by graphical methods and the TIN temperatures were calculated from the TG profiles. Finally, a possible mechanism of the decomposition is suggested on the basis of the pyrolysis and mass spectral data.

Kinetics of cerium(IV) oxidation of propionic acid in perchloric acid: Role of solvent

The oxidation rate of propionic acid (PROA) by cerium(IV) in aqueous perchloric acid (1.0–6.0 mol/dm³) is proportional to the PROA concentration, the total order of the reaction being two. It was found that the rate is related to the values of Hammett's acidity function (H₀) in agreement with both Zucker-Hammett's hypothesis and Bunnett-Olsen's criterion, the water acting as a proton transfer agent. A mechanism consistent with the findings is proposed.

Degradation of rocket insulator at high temperature

The degradation of a rocket insulator compound based on ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) containing asbestor, cork and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) as fillers has been studied at high temperature (up to 600°) by using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry (TG). The changes in physical properties on high-temperature aging are also reported. EPDM gum vulcanizates involving different types of diene, namely ethylidene norbornene (ENB), dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and 1,4-hexadiene (HD), were used. In each case, the kinetic parameters for degradation have been evaluated. From these data, the lifetime of the rocket insulator compound has been found.

Kinetic analysis of thermogravimetric data. XI thermal decomposition of some metal dithionates

A thermal analytical study of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, NH₄, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Zn dithionates is reported. The decomposition of the dithionate ion is endothermic in the case of the Na, K, Rb, Cs and NH₄ salts, but exothermic with Li, Mg, Sr, Ba and Zn. Kinetic parameters have been derived from the TG curves by means of the Coats-Redfern method. The validity of a linear kinetic compensation law is reported for the loss of crystal water and separately for the decomposition of the dithionate ion.

Coke deposits on Pt/Al2O3 catalysts of varying dispersities

Coke deposition during cyclopentane reaction was investigated on Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts of varying dispersity. For all working pressures the higher the metallic accessibility, the higher the amount of coke deposited on the catalyst. Nevertheless, coke deposited on the less dispersed catalysts is more toxic for the metallic function. An increasing metal accessibility improves the graphitization of coke on the support and so, prevent the deactivation of the metal of a bifunctional catalyst.

Deamination of butylamines on the surface of acidic oxide catalysts

Studies of the deamination of tert-, sec- and n-butylamines on several silicate and phosphate catalysts at 543–704 K have revealed that the reaction proceeds only with the participation of protonic cneters, its rate is independent of the strength of acidic centers and affected only by the amine structure. Butylammonium ion conversion is suggested to be the rate-determining step.
