XPS and chemisorption studies of the surface layer of Pd?Ag catalysts for CO oxidation

XPS and chemisorption studies of the surface composition of a Pd–Ag alloy (5% Pd) before and after its application in CO oxidation have been performed. It is shown that in a freshly prepared sample the bulk and surface layer compositions are the same. High-temperature treatment of the catalyst in the reaction medium leads to a thermodynamic equilibrium between surface and bulk.

Platinum-palladium catalysts in hydrogenation of methylbenzenes

Hydrogenation of benzene, toluene, o,m and p-xylene over Pt, Pd and Pt–Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts has been studied. Experimental data show that when Pd is added to Pt catalysts, a decrease in activity and changes in selectivity occur. This is explained by the formation of electron-deficient and electrorich metallic species.

Reactions of C4?C6 alkanes on platinum and platium-gold films

Results are reported on the reactions of n-butane, n-pentane and n-hexane on Pt and Pt/Au alloy films. The results are compared with those obtained for Pt–Au alloys on a SiO₂ carrier. It is concluded that alloying can change the selectivity of the catalyst. No indication has been found for the possible role of oxygen in the high selectivity of Pt in non-destructive reactions.

Kinetic parameters obtained from TG and DTG curves of acrylamide-maleic anhydride copolymers

The thermal behaviour of acrylamide-maleic anhydride copolymers was studied by thermogravimetric (TG and DTG) analysis. The obtained data permitted the calculation of activation energies and reaction orders of the decomposition steps by the Coats-Redfern and Freeman-Carroll methods.Thermal analysis shows four distinct peaks in the case of polyacrylamide and AAMA (71) copolymer and only three for AAMA (11) copolymer.In AA:MA (11) copolymers intermolecular imidization occurs only and thermal degradation is influenced more by the anhydride groups which are equal in number with the amide ones.

Aus den erhaltenen Daten wurden die Aktivierungsenergien und Reaktionsordnungen der Zersetzungsschritte nach den Methoden von Coats-Redfern und Freeman-Carroll berechnet. Durch thermische Analyse können im Falle von Polyacrylamid und AAMA (71 (-Kopolymeren 4 Peaks und bei AA:MA (11) -Kopolymeren nur 3 Peaks unterschieden werden. Bei AAMA (1 1)-Kopolymeren verläuft nur eine intermolekulare Imidisierung und der thermische Abbau wird mehr durch die in gleicher Zahl wie die Amidgruppen vorliegenden Anhydridgruppen beeinflußt.

Observation of vibration-electronic exchange in gas-surface collisions

Intensity increase of exoelectronic emission in the interaction of vibrationally excited hydrogen beam (v1) with emitter surface (CaSO₄) has been found. The effect proves to be due to the transfer of vibrational energy from molecules to trapped electrons, i.e. to the v-e transition in gas-surface collisions.

Catalytic properties of V?Mo?O systems in acrolein oxidation

Catalytic properties of V–Mo–O systems have been studied in acrolein oxidation. When catalysts are activated in reaction mixtures at 673 K, then a solid solution of molybdenum oxides in reduced vanadium oxides is formed, which is responsible for deep oxidation. Also, several compounds are produced, which by their activity and selectivity to acrylic acid formation are arranged in the sequences VMo₃O₁₁VMo₂O_8+x>V₆Mo₄O₂₅, and VMo₃O₁₁>VMo₂O_8+xV₆Mo₄O₂₅, respectively.

Kinetic analysis of temperature-programmed desorption of hydrogen after reduction of a NiNaY zeolite

From the kinetic analysis of TPD curves it can be calculated that hydrogen desorption after reduction at lower temperatures can be described by a rate equation of first order, while reduction at higher temperatures provides a second order equation interpreted by a change of the rate-determining step of the complex desorption process.

Phase equilibria in the V2O5-FeVMoO7 system

The progress of the reactions of water with brownmillerite (C₄AF⁺) and its mixtures with gypsum (C¯SH₂) and calcium sulphoaluminate (C₄A₃¯S) was investigated by means of calorimetric measurements in situ and X-ray diffractometry to determine the reaction heat and the conversion of the solid reactants as functions of time up to 50 h. The rapid reaction of C₄AF with water and the modifying effect of sulphates on the composition of the hydrated phases were confirmed. The presence of sulphates causes the induction period during the reactions of aluminium and iron-containing clinker phases with water. These phenomena are important technologically too, especially in cements with increased contents of C₄AF and of sulphate-yielding phases (C¯SH₂ and C₄A₃¯S).

Zusammenfassung Der Verlauf der Hydratation von Brownmillerit Ca₄AF^* bzw. seinen Mischungen mit Gips (C¯SH₂) und Calcium-sulfat-aluminat (C₄A₃¯S) wurde durch kalorimetrische Messungen in situ und Röntgendiffraktometrie verfolgt, um die Abhängigkeit der Reaktionswärme und des Umsatzes der festen Reaktanden von der Zeit (bis 50 h) zu bestimmen. Die schnelle Reaktion von C₄AF mit Wasser und der modifizierende Effekt der Sulfate auf die Zusammensetzung der hydratisierten Phase wird bestätigt. Die Anwesenheit von Sulfat bewirkt eine Induktionsperiode bei der Reaktion von alumimum- und eisenhaltigen Klinkerphasen mit Wasser. Diese Erscheinungen sind von technischer Bedeutung, insbesondere für Zemente mit erhöhtem Gehalt an C₄AF und sulfatbildenden Phasen wie C¯SH₂ und C₄A₃¯S.
