Flow-pulsation method to study the activity of catalyst in high-pressure processes

Generation of gradientless conditions by the pulsation method with variable reciprocating gas flow method through the isothermal catalyst bed is suggested as one of the trends in the further development of external circulation flow systems. The conditions ensuring continuous stirring have been established. Flowcirculation and pulsation methods have been tested under similar conditions.

Reactivity of alkyl and polychloroalkyl radicals toward 1-hexene

The kinetics of CCl₃ radical addition to 1-hexene in CCl₃Br and CCl₄ media has been studied. The rate constant of CCl₃ addition to the double bond is shown to be independent of the solvent. The ratios between the rate constants of transfer and allyl chain termination for the alkyl and polychloroalkyl radicals have been estimated by competition methods. Activation parameters for the calculated rate constants are given.

Thermal characterization of bismaleimide blends

4,4-bismaleimidophenyl methane (BM) and 3,3-bismaleimidophenyl sulfone (BS) were blended in solution using weight ratios 31 (MS31), 21 (MS21), 11 (MS11), 12 (MS12) and 13 (MS13). Chain extended bismaleimide resins were also prepared by treating BS/BM with 4,4-diaminodiphenyl ether in molar ratios of 10.3 (BM-E and BS-E resins). These resins were also blended with bismaleimides and the curing characteristics were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry. Increase in BM content in BMBS blends or increase in chain extended bismaleimide content in BM-EBS or BS-E BM blends resulted in a reduction of melting and curing temperatures. Indication about the extent of cross-linking was obtained from solubility measurements (in DMF) of isothermally cured resins (180 °C, lh and 220 °C, lh in an air oven). Thermogravimetric analysis of samples isothermally cured at 180 °C and 220 °C (lh each) was carried out in nitrogen atmosphere. Improvement in thermal stability of chain extended bismaleimides was observed on blending.

Zusammenfassung 4,4-Bismalimidophenyl-methan (BM) und 3,3-Bismalimidophenyl-sulfon (BS) wurden in Lösung in den Gewichtsverhältnissen 31 (MS31), 21 (MS21), 11 (MS11), 12 (MS12) und 13 (MS13) gemischt. Auch kettenpolymerisierten Bismalimid-Harze wurden durch Behandlung von BS/BM mit Diaminodiphenylether im Molverhältnis 10,3 dargestellt (BM-E- und BS-E-Harze). Die Kennwerte der Aushärtung von Mischungen dieser Harze mit den Bismalimiden wurden mittels DSC ermittelt. Eine Erhöhung des BM-Gehaltes in den BM BS-Mischungen oder des Gehaltes der BM-E BS oder BS-E-Mischungen an kettenpolymerisierten Bismalimiden führt zu einer Erniedrigung der Schmelz- und Aushärtetemperaturen. Hinweise über den Vernetzungsgrad wurden aus Löslichkeitsmessungen (in DMF) von Isotherm (je 1 Stunde bei 180 und 220 °C in Luft) gehärteten Harzen erhalten. Die thermogravimetrische Analyse der Isotherm bei 180 bzw. 220 °C 1 Stunde ausgehärteten Proben wurde in Stickstoffatmosphäre ausgeführt. Die thermische Stabilität der Bismalimide wird durch Verschneiden verbessert.

Décomposition thermique du sulfite de fer(II) anhydre

Résumé Sous azote ou sous vide, le sulfite ferreux anhydre se décompose vers 210° en magnétite, pyrite et dioxyde de soufre. Concurremment une réaction de dismutation intervient avec formation de FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ et FeS₂. Lorsque la température atteint 320°, la pyrite et le sulfate réagissent ensemble pour donner Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ et SO₂. Au-delà de 370° le sulfure ferreux non-stchiométrique commence à réagir à son tour avec le sulfate restant pour former de la magnetite et du dioxyde de soufre.

In nitrogen or under vacuum, anhydrous iron(II) sulfite decomposes near 210° to magnetite, pyrite and sulfur dioxide. A parallel disproportionation reaction occurs with formation of FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ and FeS₂. When the temperature reaches 320°, pyrite and sulfate react together to give Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ and SO₂. Above 370° the non-stoichiometric ferrous sulfide begins to react with the remaining sulfate to give magnetite and sulfur dioxide.

Wenn die Temperatur 320 °C erreicht, reagieren Pyrit und Sulfat unter Bildung von Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ und SO₂ Oberhalb von 370 °C beginnt das nichtstöchiometrische Eisensulfit seinerseits mit dem restlichen Sulfat zu reagieren um Magnetit und Schwefeldioxid zu ergeben.

Das System KNbO3-Nb2O5

Zusammenfassung Das System KNbO₃–Nb₂O₅ wurde mit thermoanalytischen, dilatometrischen und röntgenographischen Methoden neu untersucht. Acht ternäre Verbindungen werden im Bereich von 0–50 Mol-% K₂O gefunden. Nur K₄Nb₆O₁₇ schmilzt kongruent, alle anderen zersetzen sich peritektisch. Bei den beiden niobreichaten ternären Verbindungen handelt es sich um Hochtemperaturphasen, die sich erst oberhalb 1273 bzw. 1551 K bilden. Drei der acht Verbindungen wandeln sich mit steigender Temperatur in ihre Hochtemperaturmodifikation um.

IR study of adsorbed piperidine dehydrogenation on oxidic or sulfided Ni?W/Al2O3 catalysts

IR spectroscopy has been used to follow the transformation at different temperatures of piperidine chemisorbed on oxidic or sulfided Ni–W/Al₂O₃ catalysts. Formation of an intermediate species, possibly tetrahydropyridine, and pyridine is evidenced. Their formation temperature on the sulfided samples accounts for the catalyst activity in pyridine hydrogenation under H₂ pressure.

Effect of the network structure on the flammability ofcis-1,4-polyisoprene vulcanizates

The combustibilities ofcis-1,4-polyisoprene and its peroxide and sulphur vulcanizates have been investigated by means of the oxygen index method. The temperature distribution in the sample and the molecular weight of the liquid products formed as a result of elastomer destruction in the combustion zone have been measured. It has been found that the combustibility ofcis- 1,4-polyisoprene diminishes as its cross-link density increases. This effect is much stronger for sulphur than for peroxide vulcanizates. The investigations lead to the conclusion that a mechanism of network degradation and volatile sulphur compounds penetrating to the flame are responsible for this difference.

Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Brennbarkeit des cis-1,4-Polyisoprens mit zunehmender Vernetzungsdichte abnimmt, und zwar viel ausgeprägter im Falle der Schwefel- als im Falle der Peroxidvulkanisate. Es wurde gefolgert, daß flüchtige, in die Flamme gelangende Schwefelverbindungen als Verbrennungsinhibitoren wirken.

Influence of reoxidation temperature on TPR of zirconia supported rhodium

Based on TPR investigations of oxidized 5 % Rh/ZrO₂ catalyst a substantial effect of rhodium both on increase in degree of surface reduction of the support and lowering of reduction temperature range as compared to the support alone was observed. With growing reoxidation temperature, a gradual increase in degree of oxidation of rhodium takes place until Rh₂O₃ is formed at temperature about 770 K. Simultaneously, the support surface is gradually reoxidized until a prilmary state is reporduced at 720–779 K.

Oxidation of ammonia on a bismuth-manganese oxide catalyst

The doping of MnO₂ with small quantities of Bi₂O₃ results in an increase of the surface oxygen bond energy. Accordingly, the values of the specific catalytic activity and selectivity to nitrous oxide are lower for the doped catalyst than for pure MnO₂. The mechanism of low temperature ammonia oxidation is the same on both catalysts.

Thermochemistry of hydrated rare earth orthophosphates

The hydrated rare earth orthophosphates LnPO₄ ·xH₂O (Ln=La-Dy) contain zeolitic water in the structural channels, which is released reversibly up to 300°. The thermal stabilities of the hydrates depend upon the nature of the Ln atom. The dehydration temperature decreases with decreasing ionic radiusr of Ln³⁺, according to the general equation=(r–a)/b (where is the DSC and/or DTG dehydration peak temperature, anda andb are empirical constants depending on the experimental conditions).The contracting-area rate equation was valid for linearization of the isothermal vs. time plots in the range 0; 0.65. Kinetic values ofE, A, H ⁺ and S⁺ were calculated and the kinetic stabilities of the hydrates are discussed.
