Infrared spectra of nitric oxide adsorbed on photoreduced V/SiO2 catalyst

Studies of the IR spectra of surface species produced via NO adsorption on selectively photoreduced V/SiO₂ catalysts indicate that at low coverages NO is adsorbed on V³⁺ ions to form strongly bonded mononitrosyl species V³⁺...... NO. With increasing NO coverage, V³⁺ is oxidized to V⁴⁺, which is accompanied by the appearance of gaseous N₂O and weak adsorption of NO on V⁴⁺.

Liquid phase CO+H2 reactions in presence of ruthenium catalysts

Several effects on the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide in propanol in presence of ruthenium catalysts are examined. The homologation reaction is not observed, only propyl formate and propyl acetate are produced with any ruthenium catalyst. The pH-value is an important parameter: in acid media, the yield of propyl formate is noticeably increased indicating different catalytic active species. The addition of cesium salts is also benefitial for formate formation. This is not the case when water is associated with propanol as solvent. Finally, no ethylene glycol is detected. The process is found to be homogeneous and methanol seems to be the precursor of methyl formate.

Fossil age determination by thermal analysis

Subsequent to a comparative examination of recent bone material the author has recently completed the paleobiogeochemical evaluation of classical Quaternary and Pliocene terrestrial fossils of vertebrata from Hungary. A derivatograph (MOM) has been used to determine two thermoanalytical parameters which are closely associated with the passage of geological time: the total bound organic-matter content of the fossil and the fossilization cofficient.Derivatographic measurement of the organic matter in the bones is supplemented by fine-structure analysis of bone-tissue slides.Sample material of unknown age from several provenances was evaluated with the new dating method. The importance of the procedure is even greater in cases when only indefinite sporadic finds can be obtained from the sediments.

Zusammenfassung Nach einer vergleichenden Untersuchung an neuzeitlichem Knochenmaterial hat der Autor kürzlich die paleobiogeochemische Auswertung der klassischen Quaternären und Pliocenen terrestren Fossilien von Vertebraten aus Ungarn ergänzt.Ein Derivatograph (MOM) wurde zur Bestimmung zweier thermoanalytischer Parameter eingesetzt, die eng mit dem Fortschreiten der geologischen Zeit verbunden waren: dem Gesamtgehalt an gebundenem organischem Material und dem Fossilisationskoeffizienten.Die derivatographische Messung der organischen Substanz in den Knochen wurde durch die Feinstrukturanalyse von Knochengewebeschnitten ergänzt.Probenmaterial unbekannten Alters verschiedener Herkunft wurde mit der neuen Methode ausgewertet. Die Bedeutung des Verfahrens ist in den Fällen noch grösser, wenn aus den Sedimenten nur unbestimmte sporadische Funde erhalten werden können.

Effect of bond energies of a catalyst with reacting atoms on the selectivity of CO hydrogenation over metals

In hydrogenation over metals (M)_j carbon monoxide is adsorbed as a molecule. C–O bond rupture in partially hydrogenated complex, MCHOH, leads to MO and MCH₂ and then to hydrocarbons, while transformation of MCHOH into MCH₂OH gives alcohols and other oxygen-containing compounds. Selectivity towards hydrocarbons increases with increasing energy of M–O bonds.

Hydrocarbon cool flame-induced transformations of alkali metal chlorides

Studies of the effect of stabilized cool flame propane oxidation on alkali metal chlorides have revealed the partial removal of surface chlorine and the formation of alkali and formiate. Formiate formation was tentatively detected by IR spectroscopy. Excess heating (up to 23°C) established on such surfaces in the zone of cool flame compared to untreated ones, can be due to the recombination of surface radicals.

Studies on catalytically active surface compounds, IX. Formation of O2? radicals on VCl4/SiO2 catalysts

The conditions for the formation of O ₂ ^– on VCl₄/SiO₂ catalysts have been investigated. It is shown that thermal vacuum treatment (TVT) of unhydrolyzed catalysts leads to partial hydrolysis of the surface vanadium complex caused by the silanol groups of the support. The ability of the catalysts to generate O ₂ ^– radicals was found to depend on the degree of hydrolysis caused by thermal vacuum treatment.

Thermal analysis of phenolic resin based pyropolymers

The formation and thermal behaviour of pyropolymers based on novolak resin synthesized under carefully controlled processing conditions have been studied by various thermoanalytical techniques. A suitable reaction scheme has been proposed for the formation of these pyropolymers. Only a small (3–8%) weight loss has been observed up to 800 °C in static air. DTA curves confirmed multistage exothermic processes predominantly due to two different linkages which control their thermo/thermo-oxidative stability. Hot metal filtration (700 °C) in an inert atmosphere exhibited only negligible weight loss.

Zur Bildung dieser Pyropolymere wurde ein geeignetes Reaktionsschema entwickelt. In unbewegter Luftatmosphäre kann bis 800 °C nur ein geringer (3–8%) Gewichtsverluft beobachtet werden. Die DTA-Kurven zeigen einen exothermen Mehrstufenprozeß, der hauptsächlich auf zwei verschiedene Verkettungen zurückzuführen ist, welche die thermische/thermisch-oxidative Stabilität bestimmen.

A thermal analysis study of the oxidation of brown coal chars

The combustion of brown coal chars, obtained at different pyrolysis temperatures, have been investigated using TG, DTG and DTA thermal analysis methods. The burning profiles and the kinetic parameters derived from TG and DTA data show that all the chars are less reactive than the parent coal. The higher temperature chars have lower overall reactivity. From the corresponding infrared spectra, the chars obtained at 800 °C and 1000 °C appear to have graphitic structures.

Oxidation of CO on Ag-based composite oxides

Thermal stability of the oxidized state of silver was increased in the Cr, Mn, Fe and Co oxides. However, Ni and Cu oxides did not stabilize Ag, leading to its aggregation to form metallic Ag at 400°C. The Ag in the former group exhibited high catalytic activity in the oxidation of CO due to the formation of composite oxides with these transition metals.

Kinetics of the formation of whewellite and weddelite by displacement reactions

The nucleation and crystallization of whewellite and weddelite during displacement reactions has been investigated by means of thermomicroscopy, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Gypsum cleavage plates were immersed at different temperatures in solutions of oxalic acid and alkali oxalates. The reaction product (whewellite and/or weddelite) formed on the gypsum crystal surface. Depending on the concentration of the solution and on the time and temperature, different degrees of reaction, which means varying amounts and crystal forms or Ca-oxalate were found. An evaluation of the growth rate was possible by means of thermogravimetry. Conditions for the preparation of pure weddelite by precipitation from solutions have been established.
