Experimental study of the initial stage of Li2SO4·H2O single crystal dehydration in vacuum

The initial stage of the Li₂SO₄·H₂O single crystal isothermal dehydration has been studied by means of quartz crystal microbalance. As found, weight loss in the initial process may be considered as H₂O molecule diffusion from a semiinfinite medium. The numerical values of the H₂O molecule diffusion in Li₂SO₄·H₂O have been calculated from the results obtained.

Coke deposition on naphtha reforming catalysts: I. Influence of the hydrocarbon feed

During hydrocarbons reactions over Pt/Al₂O₃ the catalyst is covered by coke. It is accepted that coke formation occurs on metal and acid sites. During normal heptane and methylcyclopentane reforming it was found that the nature and the rate of coke deposited on the catalyst surface was not same, depending on the structure of the hydrocarbon feed.

Catalytic properties of silica-molybdenum catalysts in propylene oxidation

The activity of silica-molybdenum catalyts in propylene oxidation is shown to be determined by the partially dehydrated silica-molybdenum heteropolyacid stabilized by the SiO₂ surface.

Synthesis of light alcohols from carbon monoxide and hydrogen over copper-iron catalysts

The activity and selectivity of copper-iron catalysts for the synthesis of light alcohols from carbon monoxide and hydrogen were studied. The suitable ratio of copper to iron and optimal chemical composition of the catalyst were determined.

Thermogravimetric study of diatomites

The thermal curves of diatomites (kieselguhrs) in air display different profiles, depending on the type and quantity of impurities (carbonates, clays, etc.) present. TG and DTG runs can be used for a quick diagnosis of quality, but also give a nearly quantitative picture of the silica content of these minerals.

Zusammenfassung In Abhängigkeit von Art und Menge der Verunreinigungen (Karbonate, Tonerde usw.) weisen die thermischen Kurven von Diatomiten (Kieselguhr) in Luft unterschiedlichen Verlauf auf. Einfache TG- und DTG-Untersuchungen können als Schnelldiagnose zur Bestimmung der Qualität benutzt werden und geben ausserdem noch ein nahezu quantitatives Bild über den Silikatgehalt dieser Mineralien.

Preparation and characterization of Ru?Pb supported catalysts

Decomposition of Mn₃Mo₂TeO₁₂ during oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde was observed. Depending on the surface composition of the initial catalyst, the decomposition leads to less active but highly selective MnMoTeO₆ or to MnMoO₄ which is not selective in toluene oxidation.

Estimation of kinetic parameters in oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butenes over SnO2?Sb2O4 catalysts

Kinetic curves measured in the oxidation of n-butenes over a SnSb=31 mixed oxide catalyst were fitted by the kinetic model put forward in a previous paper. The goodness of fitting shows that the kinetic behavior of this complex reaction system can be described by a mechanism involving acidic and redox sites on the catalyst surface.

Combinations of alkyl radicals with alkyl and substituted allyl radicals

In contrast with expectations based upon simple collision theory, reactions of alkyl radicals with substituted allyl radicals yield cross-combination ratios of =2. Reactions of CH ₃ ^\ with some C₅ radicals give >2, in accordance with theory.
