Reaction scheme in the non-isothermal decomposition of (C6H5NH3)4Mo8O26 · 2 H2O

The thermogravimetric decomposition of anilinum octamolybdate has been studied under non-isothermal conditions to elucidate the chemical reactions taking place in the first step of decomposition of the anhydrous compound.The decomposition products were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction.The main decomposition product of aniline turned out to be indole, which is different from the major product in the isothermal decomposition at the same temperature, i.e. N-ethyl-aniline.A dehydrocyclization reaction is suggested as the rate-dependent process. This is probably due to the catalytic effect of the octamolybdate anion.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Anilinoctamolybdat wurde unter nicht-isothermen Bedingungen thermogravimetrisch untersucht, um die im ersten Zersetzungsschritt der wasserfreien Verbindung verlaufenden chemischen Reaktionen aufzuklären. Die Zersetzungsprodukte wurden mittels Gas-Flüssigkeits-Chromatographie, Gaschromatographie-Massenspektrometrie (GC/MS), Infrarotspektroskopie und Röntgendiffraktometrie analysiert. Als Hauptprodukt der Zersetzung von Anilin wurde Indol gefunden, während bei isothermer Zersetzung bei gleicher Temperatur vorwiegend N-Äthylanilin entsteht. Es wird angenommen, daß beim nicht-isothermen Prozeß eine wahrscheinlich durch das Octamolybdat katalysierte Dehydrocyclisierungsreaktion verläuft.

The thermal properties of polysiloxanes poly(dimethyl siloxane) and poly(diethyl siloxane)

New measurements and literature data on polysiloxanes covering heat capacities, transition parameters, enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies are presented and critically reviewed. TheATHAS computation method is used to bring heat capacities into agreement with an approximate frequency spectrum. The various crystal and mesophases are discussed. TheATHAS (1990) recommended data are as follows: For poly(dimethyl siloxane) the glass transition is at 146 K with an increase in heat capacity of 29.24 J/(K mol). The completely crystalline sample melts at about 219 K with a heat of fusion of 2.75 kJ/mol. For poly(diethyl siloxane) the glass transition is at 135 K with an increase in heat capacity of 34.48 J/(K mol). The completely crystalline sample changes to a condis crystal at 206.7 K with a heat of disordering of 2.72 kJ/mol. The transition to a poorly characterized viscous crystal with thermodynamic properties close to the melt occurs at 282.7 K with an enthalpy of transition of 1.84 kJ/mol. Final fusion occurs at 308.5 K and a small endotherm of about 231 J/mol. Tables of heat capacities, enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies are given from 0 K to 550 K.

Zusammenfassung Neue Messungen und Literaturangaben von Polysiloxanen über Wärmekapazität, Umwandlungsparameter, Enthalpien, Entropien und Gibbssche Energien werden vorgestellt und kritisch betrachtet. Das Rechenverfahren ATHAS wurde benutzt, um die Wärmekapazitäten mit einem annähernden Frequenzspektrum in Einklang zu bringen. Es wurden die verschiedenen Kristall- und Mesophasen diskutiert. Die von ATHAS (1990) empfohlenen Werte sind wie folgt: Für Poly(dimethylsiloxan) beträgt der Glasumwandlungspunkt 146 K bei Zunahme der Wärmekapazität um 29.24 J/(K.mol). Die vollständing kristalline Probe schmilzt bei etwa 219 K mit einer Schmelzwärme von 2.75 kJ/mol. Für Poly(diethylsiloxan) beträgt der Glasumwandlungspunkt 135 K bei Zunahme der Wärmekapazität um 34.48 J/(K.mol). Die vollständig kristalline Probe wandelt sich bei 206.7 K um, die Fehlordnungswärme beträgt 2.72 kJ/mol. Die Umwandlung in einen wenig verstandenen viskosen Kristall, dessen thermodynamische Eigenschaften denen der Schmelze gleichen, erfolgt bei 282.7 K mit einer Umwandlungsenthalpie von 1.84 kJ/mol. Letztendlich verläuft das Schmelzen bei 308.5 K mit einem kleinen endothermen Effekt von etwa 231 J/mol. Wärmekapazitäten, Enthalpien, Entropien und Gibbssche Energien sind für den Bereich 0 K–550 K tabellarisch angegeben.

On the thermal decomposition mechanism for dehydroxylation of alkaline-earth hydroxides

The activation energy for thermal dehydroxylation in vacuum of alkaline-earth hydroxides has been calculated from thermogravimetric data. The experimental results of Mg(OH)₂ Ca(OH)₂ and Sr(OH)₂ are in agreement with an unimolecular decay law and their activation energies are similar to the values of enthalpies of decomposition. In contrast, as the dehydroxylation process of Ba(OH)₂ takes place in liquid phase and the BaO does not dissolve into the molten Ba(OH)₂, a kinetic of zero order describes the reaction rate and the activation energy is lower than the enthalpy of decomposition.

Zusammenfassung Die Aktivierungsenergie zur thermischen Dehydroxilierung von Erdalkali-Hydroxiden im Vakuum wurde aus thermogravimetrischen Daten errechnet. Die Versuchsergebnisse bezüglich Mg(OH)₂, Ca(OH)₂ und Sr(OH)₂ sind mit einem unimolekularen Zersetzungsgesetz in Übereinstimmung und die entsprechenden Aktivierungsenergien sind den Werten der Zersetzungsenthalpien ähnlich. Im Gegensatz hierzu wird im Falle von Ba(OH)₂, da der Dehydroxylierungsvorgang in der flüssigen Phase stattfindet und das BaO sich nicht im geschmolzenen Ba(OH)₂ löst, die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit durch eine Kinetik nullter Ordnung beschrieben und die Aktivierungsenergie liegt hierbei niedriger als die Zersetzungsenthalpie.

Résumé L'énergie d'activation de la déshydroxylation sous vide des hydroxydes des métaux alcalins est calculée à partir des données thermogravimétriques. Les résultats expérimentaux obtenus avec Mg(OH)₂, Ca(OH)₂ et Sr(OH)₂ sont en accord avec une loi de décomposition unimoléculaire et les énergies d'activation correspondantes sont du même ordre de grandeur que les enthalpies de décomposition. Par contre, du fait que la déshydroxylation de Ba(OH)₂ a lieu en phase liquide et que BaO ne se dissout pas dans Ba(OH)₂ fondu, la vitesse de la réaction est décrite par une cinétique d'ordre zéro et l'énergie d'activation est plus faible que l'enthalpie de décomposition.

Influence of olefins on the catalytic transformation of paraffins on acidic zeolites

The activity and selectivity of zeolites in n-octane cracking in a gradientless flow reactor and in a flow-circulation setup with intermediate hydrogenation have been studied. At concentrations lower or equal to 10^–3 mmol/l, olefins are not involved in the cleavage of paraffin molecules. At concentrations higher than 10^–3 mmol/l, olefins act as promoters of the cracking reactions.

Effect of acid-base properties of catalysts on their activity in methylmercaptane synthesis

Catalysts containing large amounts of surface acid sites are highly active, but in their presence equal yields of methylmercaptane and dimethyl sulfide are obtained. Catalysts containing predominantly strong basic sites on their surfaces are less active but more selective towards methylmercaptane formation than the former catalysts.

Thermal analysis by EMF-measurements on solid electrolytes

Galvanic cells of the type (C+Cl₂)(NaCl_(s))(MCl_2(s))(C+Cl₂) give e. m. f. 's above 280°, which are due to the formation of ternary chlorides Na_nMCl_n+2. By the change in slope of continuously measured e.m.f.vs. T curves, the temperatures of solid-state reactions in systems NaCl-MCl₂ can be found. This method was applied for the systems of NaCl with NiCl₂, CoCl₂ and CdCl₂, and for KCl-NiCl₂. With the exception of the system NaCl-NiCl₂, all phase diagrams must be corrected.

Cyclohexane photooxygenation by air oxygen in CH2Cl2 in the presence of chromium oxocomplex-iodosylbenzene system

Cyclohexane is oxidized by air oxygen in CH₂Cl₂ solution to yield cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone and cyclohexyl chloride when irradiated by light (>310 nm) in the presence of (Bu₄N)₂CrO₄ or (Bu₃SnO)₂CrO₂. The addition of PhIO greatly accelerates the reaction and increases the yield of products. The reaction mixture contains neither cyclohexanol nor cyclohexanone when the photoreaction in the presence of the Cr(VI)–PhIO system is carried out in argon atmosphere. Hence neither iodosylbenzene nor oxochromium compounds can be oxygen atom donors in alkane oxygenation. The accelerating effect of iodosylbenzene may be due to the enhanced oxidizing power of photo-excited oxochromium species when coordinated to iodosylbenzene.

Reduction by hydrogen transfer processes, II. Reduction of substituted derivatives of benzaldehyde

In the present paper, date are reported on transfer hydrogenation of aromatic aldehydes with commercial and synthetic Pd catalysts, based on SiO₂–AlPO₄ (2080 mass). Cyclohexenes and ,-unsaturated alcohols have been tested as hydrogen donors. The reaction products obtained upon reduction of benzaldehyde were benzyl alcohol and toluene (hydrogenation) and benzene and formaldehyde (hydrogenolysis), while methyl, ethoxycarbonyl and hydroxyl groups also present are not affected by the reaction. The selectivity towards each product depends on both the hydrogen donor and the catalyst used. When electron-donor substituents exist on the substrate, a decrease of the reaction rate towards the hydrogenolysis products is observed.

Effects of EPDM rubber on crystallization behaviour and morphology of iPP/HDPE blend

The effects of EPDM rubber on the crystallization behaviour of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) in the ternary iPP/HDPE/EPDM blends were studied by means of DSC and X-ray diffraction. Analysis of the crystallization exotherm peaks in terms of crystallization nucleation and growth rates and crystallinity revealed variations in the morphology of the iPP component in the blends as a function of the EPDM content. The DSC and X-ray diffraction results showed that the overall crystallinity decreased as the weight percentage of EPDM was increased in the iPP/HDPE blends.The morphology of these blends was studied by scanning electron microscopy, which revealed a random distribution of EPDM throughout the iPP matrix. The size and number of these rubber particles increased with increase of the EPDM weight percentage in the ternary iPP/HDPE/EPDM blends. The probable existence of composite inclusions of EPDM-HDPE in an iPP matrix is suggested.

Zusammenfassung Die Effekte von EPDM-Kautschuk auf das Kristallisationsverhalten von isotaktischem Polypropylen (iPP) in den ternären Gemischen iPP/HDPE/EPDM wurden mittels DSC und Röntgendiffraktometrie untersucht. Die Analyse der exothermen Kristallisationspeaks mit Hinblick auf die Kristallisationskeimbildung und die Geschwindigkeit des Kristallwachstums und die Kristallinität deuten auf morphologische Varianten der iPP-Komponente in den Gemischen in Abhängigkeit vom EPDM-Gehalt hin. Die durch DSC und Röntgendiffraktometrie erhaltenen Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die Kristallinität mit steigendem Gehalt an EPDM in den iPP/HDPE-Gemischen abnimmt. Die Morphologie dieser Gemische wurde durch Scanningelektronenmikroskopie untersucht. Es wurde eine random-Verteilung des EPDM in der iPP-Matrix festgestellt. Größe und Zahl dieser Kautschukpartikel nehmen mit zunehmendem EPDM-Gewichtsanteil in den ternären iPP/HDPE/EPDM-Gemischen zu. Auf die wahrscheinliche Existenz von EPDM/HDPE-Einschlüssen in einer iPP-Matrix wird hingewiesen.
