Physico-chemical properties of catalysts: Thermal analysis,infrared spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility of the vanadates of zinc,manganese and silver

Thermal characteristics of the vanadates of zinc, manganese and silver have been studied by DTA and TG techniques and the different transition products thus obtained have been characterised by IR, X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility data. Chemical analyses indicate the following compositions of these vanadates: (1) Zn₂V₂O₇.5H₂O, (2) Zn₃(VO₄)₂.3H₂O, (3) Mn(VO₃)₂.2H₂O and (4) Ag₃VO₄. The DTA curves indicate that zinc pyrovanadate undergoes endothermic changes at 110–195, 265, 365, 440, 660° and one exothermic change at 485°. This system is diamagnetic which becomes completely paramagnetic after 660°. Zinc orthovanadate exhibits a number of endothermic peaks at 300, 470, 700, 815 and 930° respectively. This system is feebly paramagnetic and retains this property up to 930°. Manganese metavanadate undergoes endothermic changes at 240, 280–590, 830 and 880° respectively. This vanadate is paramagnetic and paramagnetism increases appreciably at 590° and remains constant up 830°. Silver orthovanadate exhibits three endothermic changes at 180, 455 and 640°, respectively.

Kinetic parameters of the thermal decompositions of nitritonickelates(II)

Kinetic parameters of thermal decomposition of compounds of general formulaM ₂ ^I M ^II[Ni(NO₂)₆], whereM ^I= K⁺, Rb⁺ or Cs⁺ andM ^II= Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺ or Ba²⁺, were investigated on the basis of the respective thermal curves. Calculations of the reaction order and activation energy carried out by the Coats-Redfern method and by Doyle's method (modified by Zsakó) gave similar results, The reaction order is 2 for all the compounds investigated. In the group of potassium salts the activation energy increases fromM ^II=Ca²⁺ toM ^II=Ba²⁺. In the groups of rubidium and caesium salts, the lowest activation energy is observed whenM ^II=Sr²⁺. Such behaviour of the nitritonickelates is explained in terms of structures and the principle of maximum density.

Zusammenfassung Die kinetischen Parameter der thermischen Zersetzung von Verbindungen der allgemeinen FormelM ₂ ^I M ^II [Ni(NO₂)₆] (M ^I= K⁺, Rb⁺ oder Cs⁺ und M^II = =Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺ oder Ba²⁺) wurden auf Grund der entsprechenden thermischen Kurven untersucht. Die an Hand der Coats-Redfern Methode und der durch Zsakó modifizierten Doyleschen Methode durchgeführten Berechnungen der Reaktionsordnung und der Aktivierungsenergie ergaben ähnliche Resultate. Die Reaktionsordnung ist 2 für sämtliche untersuchten Verbindungen. In der Gruppe der Kaliumsalze steigt die Aktivierungsenergie vonM ^II=Ca²⁺ in RichtungM ^II=Ba²⁺ an. In der Gruppe der Rubidium- und Caesiumsalze wird die niedrigste Aktivierungsenergie beiM ^II=Sr²⁺ beobachtet. Dieses Verhalten der Nitritonickelate wird durch die Strukturen und das Prinzip der maximalen Dichte erklärt.

Modification of Fe species in FeNaY zeolite by NaCl treatment

The treatment of Fe(III)NaY zeolite with NaCl solution does not lead to a back-exchange of ferric species but the cationic Fe rearranges into new complexes which are more deeply reduced by hydrogen and less self-reduced by vacuum heat treatment than the parent Fe species in FeNaY zeolite.

Role of tellurium in the oxidation of 1-butene on Te-doped CdMoO4

New active and selective catalysts were prepared by adding different quantities of Te to CdMoO₄. These were already selective at low Te levels, but the one with a Cd/Te/Mo ratio of 1/1/1 was specific for butadiene. The catalytic behavior of the Cd–Te–Mo–O system has been correlated mainly with the CdTeMoO₆ phase in the region rich in Te and with the CdMoO₄ phase with Te as dopant in the region poor in Te.

Silanes of the type R¹R²Si(H)CH₂OEl(O)_xR _y ³ [R=organyl; El=C (x=y=1), S (x=2,y=1), P (x=1y=2)] undergo a thermally induced rearrangement to give silanes of the type R¹R²Si (CH₃)OEl(O)_xR _y ³ .

Influence of pressure reduction on the shapes of thermoanalytical curves of red muds

The effect of reduction of pressure on the shapes of the TG, DTG and DTA curves and the mass-spectra of hydroxide and carbonate phases was investigated in some typical Hungarian red muds. The pressure change caused different decomposition rates of the phases and resulted in better separation of the overlapping thermal curves; this led to advantages as regards phase analysis. For phase analysis the red muds were extracted with water, and the extracts and solid residues were identified by IR- and X-ray methods.

Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung der Druckänderung auf die Form der TG-, DTG- und DTA-Kurven, sowie der MS-Spektra der Hydroxid- und Carbonatphasen in einigen typischen ungarischen Rotschlamm-Sorten wurde geprüft. Die Druckänderung verursachte verschiedene Zersetzungsgeschwindigkeiten der Phasen, führte zur besseren Auftrennung der sich überlappenden thermischen Kurven, und war ausserdem auch hinsichtlich der Phasenanalyse vom Vorteil. Zur Phasenanalyse wurden die Rotschlämme mit Wasser extrahiert und die Extrakte und festen Rückstände mittels IR- und Röntgenmethoden identifiziert.

La variation de la pression entraîne des vitesses de décomposition différentes. Il en résulte une meilleure séparation des phénomènes dans le cas où ceux-ci se chevauchent ainsi que des avantages du point de vue de l'analyse des phases. L'analyse des phases présentes dans les boues rouges a été effectuée par extraction à l'eau. Les extraits et les résidus solides ont été identifiés par spectrométrie infrarouge et par diffraction des rayons X.

On the catalytic system MgO?Na

Acid-base and radical properties of two sets of MgO–Na catalysts have been studied. The catalysts were prepared (I) by impregnation of MgO with NaOH in aqueous solution, and (II) by evaporation of metallic sodium onto a MgO surface. The catalyst prepared by the second method was much more basic than pure MgO (H_o=35) and showed a high activity in olefin isomerization.

Studies on the thermal decomposition of N-2,4,6 tetranitro-N-methyl aniline

The kinetics of the initial stage of thermal decomposition of N-2,4,6 tetranitro-N-methyl aniline (tetryl) in condensed state has been investigated by high temperature infrared spectroscopy (IR) in conjunction with pyrolysis gas analysis and thermogravimetry (TG). The decomposition in KBr matrix in the temperature range of 131 to 145 °C shows rapid decrease in the N-NO₂ band intensity as compared to the C-NO₂ band. Decomposition products in the initial stage show mainly NO₂ gas and picric acid. The studies show that the initial stage of decomposition of tetryl occurs by the rupture of the N-NO₂ bond and the energy of activation for this process is 177 kJ/mol.

Die Zersetzung in einer KBr-Matrix im Temperaturbereich von 131–145 °C äußert sich in einem schnellen Abnehmen der Intensität der N-NO₂ Bande bezogen auf die der C-NO₂ Bande.

Effect of oxygen on NO reduction over nickel chromite catalysts

Reduction rates of NO_x in HO_x+CO(H₂)+O₂ mixtures over a pure nickel chromite catalyst and samples supported on -Al₂O₃ and faience are high. At a space velocity of 10,000 h^–1, the complete reduction of nitrogen oxides by hydrogen and by carbon monoxide is achieved at 400–450°C and 450–500°C, respectively. Hence these catalysts can be recommended as a basis to develop commercial catalysts for NO_x removal from oxygen-containing exhaust gases.
