New method for determination of the equilibrium state in systems involving reactions of the type A(s)=B(s)+C(g)

A static method is described for measurement of the equilibrium values of temperature, pressure and composition of the solid phase, and determination of the number of degrees of freedom in heterogeneous systems containing a gaseous phase, including water vapour. With this method, it has been found that in the system formed in the thermal dehydration of CaC₂O₄·H₂O a solid solution of monohydrate and anhydride coexists in equilibrium with water vapour. The composition of the solid solution changes with the temperature and the pressure of water vapour. The dehydration enthalpy of the solid solution referred to 1 mol H₂O does not depend on its composition. It was found to be H _deh=(69+-3) kJ·mol^–1.

Zusammenfassung Eine isotherme Methode zur Messung von Temperatur, Druck und Zusammensetzung der festen Phase im Gleichgewicht und zur Bestimmung der Anzahl der Freiheitsgrade in heterogen Systemen mit einer Gasphase (z.B. Wasserdampf) wird beschrieben. Mit dieser Methode wurde nachgewiesen, dass bei der thermischen Entwässerung von CaC₂O₄·H₂O eine feste Lösung von Monohydrat und Anhydrid im Gleichgewicht mit Wasserdampf existiert. Die Zusammensetzung dieser festen Lösung ändert sich mit der Temperatur und dem Wasserdampfdruck, ihre Dehydratationsenthalpie (pro 1 mol Wasser) hängt nicht von der Zusammensetzung ab und wurde zu H _deh=(69±3) kJ mol^–1 bestimmt.

Study of the thermal decomposition processes of clathrate compounds

The decompositions of the clathrate compounds [M(NCS)₂(4-MePy)₄]·nG (whereM=Mn, Co, Ni or Cd;G=4-methylpyridine (4-MePy), benzene or xylenes) were studied on a Q-derivatograph under quasi-equilibrium conditions and with linear heating. These clathrates can be divided into two groups, in which the loss of guest is either (I) accompanied by destruction of the host complex, or (II) occurs before decomposition of the host complex. Kinetic parameters were obtained.

IR and thermal studies on lithium oxomolybdenum(VI) oxalate

A new molybdenum(VI) complex, Li₂[Mo₂O₆(C₂O₄)] · 2 H₂O (LMO), was prepared and characterized by chemical analysis and IR spectral studies. Its thermal decomposition was studied by using TG and DTA techniques. LMO loses its two moles of water between 75 and 170° to give the anhydrous product, which decomposes in three stages between 240 and 380°. The first two stages occur in the temperature ranges 240–280° and 280–305°, to give intermediates with the tentative compositions Li₆[Mo₆O₁₉(C₂O₄)₂] and Li₆[Mo₆O₂₀(C₂O₄)], respectively. In the third stage, which extends up to 380°, Li₆[Mo₆O₂₀(C₂O₄)] decomposes to give the end-product, Li₂Mo₂O₇.

Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of hydrogen from a NiNaY zeolite after reduction

By TPD it could be shown that hydrogen desorption of a reduced NiY-zeolite stoichiometrically corresponds to the decrease of reduction degree. Therefore, the reason for hydrogen abstraction should be a partial reoxidation of Ni⁰.

Thermal study of some sulphosuccinates

The thermal properties of some sulphosuccinates and their intermediates were studied by using combined dynamic thermal analysis and mass spectrometry. The temperature ranges were similar in the two methods, and a scheme of thermal decomposition of the compounds investigated was suggested. In the first temperature range of thermal decomposition of the sulphosuccinate a-rupture of the molecular ion occurs. In the second temperature range, the fragmentation proceeds in two directions: either-rupture of the ethoxylated nonylphenol, or-rupture of the acid residue of the sulphosuccinates.

On the mechanism of arylation of ethylene by palladium(II)

The phenylation of ethylene with benzene under the effect of palladium acetate at [C₂H₄] [Pd(OAc)₂] has been found to give styrene and trans-stilbene via parallel rather than consecutive reactions. The data obtained indicate that styrene and stilbene are formed through the same intermediate. The reaction mechanism is discussed.

On theC p toC v conversion of solid linear macromolecules II

A modification is proposed for the Nernst-Lindemann equation that is used to convert calculated heat capacities at constant pressure (C _p ) to heat capacities at constant volume (C _v ) for solid, linear macromolecules. the constant A₀ per mole of repeating unit in this equation is derived by taking into account the variable number of vibrators excited at different temperatures. With the new equation it is possible to calculateC _p for solid polymers over a wider temperature range. The constant is calculated for solid polymers from experimental thermal expansivity, isothermal compressibility and heat capacity data obtained from the literature. An average value of (3.9±2.4)×10^–3(K mol)/J was obtained for A₀ (new) from data on 22 solid polymers. This average value may be used as a universal constant in case no experimental data on compressibility and expansivity are available for computation ofA ₀. The remaining variation of A₀ (new) with temperature is discussed and example calculations are shown for polyethylene. Effects of premelting and possibly large-amplitude motion are discovered for polyethylene in the temperature range 290 to 410 K.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde eine Abänderung der Nernst-Lindemann Gleichung vorgeschlagen, mit deren Hilfe für feste, lineare Makromoleküle errechnete Wärmekapazitäten bei konstantem Druck (C _p ) in Wärmekapazitäten bei konstantem Volumen (C _p ) umgerechnet werden können. Zur Ableitung der molaren Konstanten A₀ in dem sich wiederholenden Teil der Gleichung wurde die variable Anzahl der erregten Schwinger bei verschiedenen Temperaturen berücksichtigt. Mit der neuen Gleichung wird es möglich, dieC _p fester Polymere für einen breiten Temperaturbereich zu errechnen. Die Konstante wurde für die festen Polymere auf Grund des ermittelten thermischen Ausdehnungsvermögens und der isothermen Kompressibilität sowie der der Literatur entnommenen Wärmekapazitätsangaben berechnet. Aus Angaben von 22 festen Polymeren wurde für A₀(neu) ein Durchschnittswert von (3,9±2,4)×10^–3 (K mol)/J erhalten. Verfügt man zur Berechnung von A₀ über keine experimentellen Werte für Kompressibilität und Ausdehnungsvermögen, so kann dieser durchscnittswert als universale Konstante angewendet werden. Die verbleibende Temperaturabhängigkeit von A₀(neu) wird besprochen und Beispielrechnungen für Polyäthylen gegeben. Für Polyäthylen wurden im Temperaturbereich 290 bis 410 K Effekte durch Vorschmelzen und Bewegungen mit großer Amplitude festgestellt.

The activity of vanadia/titania catalysts in CO oxidation has been tested and found to be of the same order as that observed for unsupported vanadia; the simultaneous presence of vanadium-sodium compounds cancels the activity, probably because of the elimination of labile V=0 species at surface defects.

Determination of liquid vapour adsorption and desorption on and from solids by means of the derivatograph

A modofied Q-1500 D derivatograph (MOM, Hungary) allowing measurements of sample weight changes at constant temperature is described. The sample weight changes measured were due to the adsorption and desorption of liquid vapour flowing in an inert gas stream through the measuring cell at constant temperature. This apparatus permits the utilization of thermal analysis for adsorption investigations.

Investigation of the self-heating phenomenon in the bulk polymerization of acrylonitrile

The temperature of the polymerizing system was measured with a thermistor during the bulk polymerization of acrylonitrile initiated by azoisobutyronitrile. The temperature of self-heating suddenly rises at a conversion of about 2%. This jump of temperature is presumably caused by the formation of a gel structure and, consequently, the outfall of thermal convection within the system.

Studies of Cu?Ni supported catalysts for enantioselective hydrogenation

The effect of support content and composition of supported metal phase on the crystallite size, phase composition and catalytic properties of supported Ni and Cu–Ni catalysts has been investigated. It has been established that with increasing metal content, crystallite sizes and enantioselectivity increase. Copper added to Ni catalysts decreases metal phase dispersity and enantioselectivity.
