Interpretation of the non-isothermal reaction of carbon with carbon dioxide by means of kinetic parameters

The non-isothermal reaction of carbon with CO₂ in a differential reactor with a constant temperature rise was used for simultaneous determination of the reaction order, the effective activation energy, the pre-exponential factor, and the specific maximum reaction rate. The effect of the pyrolytic decomposition products was continuously compensated and the automatically recorded curve of the dependence of the transformation rate on the temperature was evaluated by means of the kinetic equation for a homogeneous reaction, using the relative values of variables. The reaction ordern=1 and the values of the activation energy agreed with the results of isothermal experiments.

New phosphate fluorosurfactants for carbon dioxide

Anionic phosphate fluorosurfactants were shown to self-assemble into water-in-carbon dioxide microemulsions. The surfactants, having either two fluorinated chains or one fluorinated chain and one hydrocarbon chain, facilitated significant water uptake in CO2. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements of surfactant/water/CO2 solutions confirmed the presence of nanometer-scale aggregates, indicative of microemulsion formation.     

Quantitative reactivity model for the hydration of carbon dioxide by biomimetic zinc complexes

A quantitative structure-reactivity relationship has been derived from the results of B3LYP/6-311+G calculations on the hydration of carbon dioxide by a series of zinc complexes designed to mimic carbonic anhydrase. The reaction mechanism found is general for all complexes investigated. The reaction exhibits a low (4-6 kcal/mol) activation energy and is exothermic by about 8 kcal/mol. The calculations suggest an equilibrium between Lipscomb and Lindskog intermediates. The effectiveness of the catalysis is a function of the nucleophilicity of the zinc-bound hydroxide and the nucleofugicity of the zinc-bound bicarbonate. Hydrogen bridging of the bicarbonate to NH moieties in the ligands also plays an important role.     

Copolymerization of propylene oxide with carbon dioxide catalyzed by zinc adipate

The effects of the temperature, nature of the solvent, and catalyst concentration on the molecular weight, molecular-weight distribution, and yields of the copolymer and propylene carbonate were examined. The structure of the polymer obtained was studied by ¹³N and ¹I NMR spectroscopy.     

Glow discharge deposition of silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide films: A kinetic model of the surface processes

Silicon oxide films have been deposited in a RF discharge plasma using hexamethyl-disiloxane (HMDSO) and Ar/O₂ or N₂O. Also, aluminum oxide layers have been deposited using trimethylaluminum (TMA) and N₂O or CO₂. The influence of the nature and the proportion q( the oxidizing gases and file suhstrate temperature effect have been studied. As far as the films obtained with HMDSO and TMA tire concerned, the most important experimental finding is the decrease of the deposition rate with increasing substrate temperature. FTIR, ESCA, and refractive index measurements show that the decrease of the deposition rate correlates with a nearly stoichiometric film. Low negative apparent activation energies are deduced from Arrhenius plots and are representative of deposition rates controlled hr fire adsorption of radical and surface di fusivities. A kinetic rnodel shows that the rate-limiting step is the adsorption of HMDSO or TMA radicals at low temperatures while for temperatures above 250°C the oxidation reactions control the deposition rate.     

Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide over iron oxide catalyst

Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide was carried out over reduced Fe₃O₄ catalyst. Effect of reduction temperature of the catalyst, reaction temperature, space velocity, and component of feed gas were examined on the catalyst. From various experiments, the proper conditions for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide are proposed. In addition, oxidation of the catalyst took place simultaneously during the hydrogenation of CO₂.

ZnGA-MMT catalyzed the copolymerization of carbon dioxide with propylene oxide

Zinc glutarate (ZnGA) synthesized from zinc oxide and glutarate acid was dispersed on the surface of acid-treated montmorillonite (MMT) in quinoline to prepare ZnGA-MMT catalyst. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements indicated that the ZnGA on the surface of acid-treated MMT had the same crystalline structure as pure ZnGA. Copolymerization between CO₂ and propylene oxide (PO) was carried out under optimized reaction conditions using ZnGA-MMT catalyst, consequently giving poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) with high molecular weight in a very high yield (115.2 g polymer per gram of ZnGA). The obtained PPCs were investigated using ¹³C NMR and FTIR spectra, showing a completely alternating structure. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) examinations showed the PPCs with a high transition temperature of 38 °C and a very high decomposition temperature (>250 °C) due to the presence of MMT residual in polymer.     

Analysis of the kinetic slowing down during carbonation of CaO by CO2

The synthesis of calcium hydroxyapatite powder (Ca-HA) from orthophosphoric acid or from potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate and calcium carbonate was carried out under moderate conditions. A better dissolution of calcium carbonate and a complete precipitation of the orthophosphate species were obtained with orthophosphoric acid, indicating that it may be of interest as a phosphate source compared with potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate. The influence of calcination treatment on the physico-chemical properties of the solids is discussed in this paper. Different characterization techniques such as specific surface area (S _BET), true density, particle size distribution, thermo-mechanical analysis, simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry analysis, X-ray diffraction and infrared were performed to understand the phase changes during thermal treatment. Specific surface area decreased while true density and particle size increased with the rise in the calcination temperature, due to the sintering of particles and the chemical reactions occurring at high temperatures. Mixtures of well-crystallized Ca-HA and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) or well-crystallized Ca-HA, CaO, and TCP were obtained after calcination at 800–1,000 °C of the solid products starting from orthophosphoric acid or potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate, respectively.     

In situ infrared spectroscopic study of brucite carbonation in dry to water-saturated supercritical carbon dioxide

In geologic carbon sequestration, whereas part of the injected carbon dioxide will dissolve into host brine, some will remain as neat to water saturated supercritical CO(2) (scCO(2)) near the well bore and at the caprock, especially in the short term life cycle of the sequestration site. Little is known about the reactivity of minerals with scCO(2) containing variable concentrations of water. In this study, we used high-pressure infrared spectroscopy to examine the carbonation of brucite (Mg(OH)(2)) in situ over a 24 h reaction period with scCO(2) containing water concentrations between 0% and 100% saturation, at temperatures of 35, 50, and 70 °C, and at a pressure of 100 bar. Little or no detectable carbonation was observed when brucite was reacted with neat scCO(2). Higher water concentrations and higher temperatures led to greater brucite carbonation rates and larger extents of conversion to magnesium carbonate products. The only observed carbonation product at 35 °C was nesquehonite (MgCO(3)·3H(2)O). Mixtures of nesquehonite and magnesite (MgCO(3)) were detected at 50 °C, but magnesite was more prevalent with increasing water concentration. Both an amorphous hydrated magnesium carbonate solid and magnesite were detected at 70 °C, but magnesite predominated with increasing water concentration. The identity of the magnesium carbonate products appears strongly linked to magnesium water exchange kinetics through temperature and water availability effects.     

A kinetic model of carbon clusters growth

A kinetic model of carbon cluster growth is suggested, including the processes of polycyclic clusters formation and their isomerization to fullerenes, discovered recently in experiments. The model is based on Smoluchowski equations, describing the rates of clusters formation in various possible reactions. The simulation results are in agreement with the experimental observations.

The mechanosorption of carbon dioxide by magnesium, calcium, and strontium metasilicates

Processes that occurred in the mechanical activation of MSiO₃ silicates (M = Mg, Ca, Sr) in a centrifugal planetary mill in the atmosphere of carbon dioxide (p(CO₂) = 10⁵ Pa) were comparatively studied. The interaction of carbon dioxide with silicates had the character of deep mechanosorption with massed penetration of gas molecules into the volume of particles and their “solution” in structurally disordered silicate matrices in the form of distorted CO₃²⁻ ions. No individual carbonate phases were formed. The absorbing ability of silicates with respect to carbon dioxide decreased in the series SrSiO₃ > CaSiO₃ > MgSiO₃. The carbon dioxide mechanosorption coefficients K _MS were calculated for Mg, Ca, and Sr silicates according to the earlier suggested kinetic model. A linear dependence of logK _MS on Δ_r G ₂₉₈^o for the transformation of silicates into the corresponding carbonates was observed.     

Surface reactions of carbon dioxide at the adsorbed water-iron oxide interface

Despite the fact that carbon dioxide is an abundant atmospheric gas with profound environmental implications, there is little information on the reaction of carbon dioxide at the adsorbed water-oxide interface. In this study, the chemistry of carbon dioxide at the adsorbed water-iron oxide interface is investigated with FTIR spectroscopy. As shown here, the thin water layer on the iron oxide surface plays an important role in the surface chemistry of carbon dioxide. In particular, adsorbed water enhances CO(2) uptake, undergoes isotope exchange with CO(2) in O(18)-labeled experiments, and influences the chemical nature of the predominant adsorbed product on the surface from bicarbonate to carbonate. The resultant thin water film is acidic in nature from the reaction of CO(2). The IR spectrum recorded of adsorbed carbonate at the adsorbed water-iron oxide interface is remarkably similar to that at the bulk liquid water-iron oxide interface. Since reactions in thin water films estimated to be approximately 2 layers will play a role in a number of environmental processes, it is essential to understand the chemistry of these "wet" interfaces with atmospheric gases.

Compact apparatus for rapid measurement of high-pressure phase equilibria of carbon dioxide expanded liquids

A new apparatus based on a synthetic method was developed for phase equilibrium measurements. The characteristic features of the apparatus are its light weight (ca. 288 g), variable-volume with a free piston, position sensing device for the piston, precise pressure and temperature control, and a window for visual observation.

The apparatus was designed for temperatures up to 473 K and pressures up to 25 MPa.     

Trapping adsorption of carbon monoxide located between carbon dioxide adsorbed on magnesium oxide

Carbon monoxide adsorbed on MgO is strongly trapped by the adsorbed carbon dioxide, increasing the heat of adsorption from 85.4 to 184.1 kJ/mol. The trapped CO is thought to be captured by two or three adsorbed CO₂ and becomes less active to react with oxygen.
