Dispersity and reducibility of the molybdenum oxide phase in SiO2, SiO2?Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3 supported molybdena catalysts

XRD, isothermal and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) experiments were carried out with SiO₂, SiO₂–Al₂O₃ and -Al₂O₃ supported catalysts. Molybdena is in a more disperse state on supports containing more alumina and it is more reducible on SiO₂–Al₂O₃ than on SiO₂ or -Al₂O₃. TPR curves were shown to reflect connections between reduction kinetics and dispersity.

Effect of free phosphine on the reactivity of phosphine-containing rhodium(I) complexes

The photolysis products of SO₂-pentane-NO mixtures are N₂O, H₂O and a compound designated as RNO. Kinetic data obtained by OC method confirm the previously proposed scheme of photolysis. Also studied was the photolysis of SO₂, NO and cyclohexane mixtures. From comparison of spectral characteristics of RNO and its analog 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane, the probable structure of RNO is suggested.

Improved deactivation profile observed for Pt/H-chabazites and Pt/H-Y zeolite

The presence of small platinum crystallites in the framework of protonic offretite, erionite and Y-zeolite causes an improved deactivation profile during n-butane conversion and reflects a stronger shape-selectivity compared to the analogous behavior of the monofuctional (protonic) zeolites.

Reaction routes for hydrogenation of acetylene-ethylene mixtures using a double labelling method

Hydrogenation of C₂H₂:C₂H₄ mixtures using a double labelling method has been studied. Both in the presence and absence of ethylene the rate of acetylene hydrogenation on its partial pressure proceeds through a maximum and the rate is higher when ethylene is added. Using¹⁴C–C₂H₂ it was demonstrated that at low acetylene partial pressures the main route of acetylene hydrogenation was the formation of ethane and C₄ hydrocarbons. Using¹⁴C–C₂H₄ it was also shown that at certain acetylene partial pressures the formation of ethane from ethylene completely ceased. Different surface species are suggested and a reaction mechanism is proposed.

The maximum product size obtained during methanol to hydrocarbons transformation on medium and large pore zeolites and amorphous silica-aluminas is not governed by shape selectivity but it is a consequence of operational conditions and other process characteristics such as the occurrence of cracking reactions.

Thermal analysis of ethylenediamine complexes of Ni(II) chloride

Thermal analysis of mono-, bis- and trisethylenediamine (en) complexes of Ni(II) chloride was carried out using TG, DTG and DTA techniques. The kinetic parameters were estimated from dynamic TG studies using the Coats and Redfern equation. The thermal stability of the metal-ligand (Ni-N) bond in, the complex was found to decrease with increasing Nien ratio. The DTA studies showed that the loss of en was initially endothermic but became increasingly exothermic with the progress of the decomposition. The final step in the case of all the three complexes was always composite in nature causing the loss of both Cl atoms with simultaneous oxidation of Ni to NiO. The dissociation of the Ni-en bonds appears to be regulated by the nucleation and growth mechanism. Kinetic parameters corresponding to various steps of decomposition of all the three complexes were evaluated.

Zusammenfassung Mittels TG-, DTG- und DTA-Verfahren wurde eine Thermountersuchung des mono-, bis- und tris-Äthylendiammin (en) komplexes von Ni(II)-chlorid durchgeführt. Unter Zuhilfenahme der Gleichung von Coats und Redfern wurden die kinetischen Parameter anhand der Daten aus dynamischen TG-Untersuchungen abgeschätzt. Es wurde gefunden, daß die thermische Stabilität der Metall-Ligand Bindung (Ni-N) der Komplexe mit anwachsendem Ni:en Verhältnis absinkt. Aufgrund der DTA Untersuchungen erwies sich die Abgabe von en anfänglich als endotherm, mit fortschreitender Zersetzung jedoch als zunehmend exotherm. Bei allen drei Komplexen war der letzte Schritt immer komplexer Natur und beinhaltete die Abgabe beider Chloratome verbunden mit einer gleichzeitigen Oxidation von Ni zu NiO. Die Dissoziation der Ni-en Bindung scheint durch einen Keimbildungs- und Wachstums-mechanismus bestimmt zu werden. Die kinetischen Parameter für die einzelnen Zersetzungsschritte aller drei Komplexe wurden ermittelt.

Further investigations on the temperature-dependence of magnetic susceptibility and thermogravimetry of stoichiometric antimony triselenide and antimony tritelluride semiconductors

Stoichiometrically adjusted antimony triselenide and antimony tritelluride semiconductors were carefully prepared for the first time. Numerous measurements were carried out, involving X-ray diffraction analysis, true density, thermogravimetric analysis and the temperature-dependence of the magnetic susceptibility. The results obtained indicated that antimony triselenide and antimony tritelluride polycrystals possess mass susceptibilities of –0.361×10^–6 and –0.386×10^–6 C.G.S., respectively. The results are discussed on the basis of electronegativity difference, partial ionicity of the bond, and bond strength.

Thermal studies on titanyl,zirconyl and hafnyl dithiocarbamato complexes

The dithiocarbamato complexes of titanyl(IV), zirconyl(IV) and hafnyl(IV), abbreviated as MO(S₂CNRR)₂·nH₂O(M=Ti, Zr or Hf,R=H,R=C₅H₉;R=H,R=C₇H₁₁,n=1 for Ti andn=2 for Zr and Hf), were prepared in aqueous medium and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements and IR spectral studies. The thermal behaviour of these compounds under non-isothermal conditions was investigated by thermogravimetric, derivative thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimctric techniques in nitrogen and oxygen atmospheres. The intermediates obtained at the end of various thermal decomposition steps were identified on the basis of analyses and IR spectral studies. Kinetic parameters, such as apparent activation energy and order of reaction, were determined by the graphical method of Coats and Redfern. The heats of reaction for the different decomposition steps were calculated from the DSC curves.

Crystallization of iron phosphate glasses

Differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy were employed in the investigation of crystalline products of FeO_x-P₂O₅ glasses generated by various heat treatments. In glasses with a high value of =Fe²⁺/(Fe²⁺ + Fe³⁺), absorption of oxygen occurs in a broad temperature range identified by TG. Depending on the value of , two exotherms appear in the DTA curves, the low-temperature one corresponding to crystallization of the Fe₃(PO₄)₂ type regions, and the high-temperature one being related to various phases with dominating FePO₄. Each exotherm has its own transformation region, identical in absolute value. The Mössbauer spectra of glasses which underwent thermal treatment at higher temperatures exhibit some indication of phases of the types Fe₃(PO₄)₂ · xH₂O and FePO₄ · xH₂O.

Structure sensitivity of methane oxidation on Pt/SiO2 of widely varying dispersity

Methane oxidation on Pt/SiO₂ is a structure sensitive reaction at 260–335°C. The higher the percentage exposed, the lower the turnover frequency with decreasing reaction order in P_{CH 4} from 1.0 to 0.5 and slightly decreasing the activation energies of reaction from 90 to 80 kJ/mol, caused by the shift of rate-determining step.
