Catalytic and physico-chemical properties of Al2O3?H3PO4 system, II. Donor-acceptor properties

Donor-acceptor properties of catalysts containing different quantities of orthophosphoric acid on -alumina were studied. The decrease in N₂O decomposition rate was found to be parallel with that of one-electron donor sites. Catalysts containing more than 0.4 mmol H₃PO₄/g Al₂O₃ exhibit individual surface properties due to the formation of an aluminium phosphate phase in the surface layer.

Simultaneous TG,DTG, DTA and EGA technique for the determination of carbonate,sulphate, pyrite and organic material in minerals,soils and rocks

A simultaneous TG, DTG, DTA and EGA method was developed for the determination of carbonate, sulphate, pyrite and organic material in minerals. The method is based on the selective direct determination of SO₃ and CO₂ evolved from the heated sample, and on the indirect determination of H₂O. The thermogas-titrimetric adapter of the derivatograph collects the liberated gases (CO₂, SO₃, SO₂) quantitatively, absorbs them in water, and titrates them continuously and automatically with NaOH titrant. The changes in the volume of titrant consumed are recorded as a function of the temperature. In two parallel examinations, one titration is performed at pH 4, and the other at pH 9.3. The former measurement yields only the amount of SO₃ (SO₂), while the latter gives the joint amount of SO₃ (SO₂) and CO₂.

Zusammenfassung Autoren entwickelten eine Methode zur simultanen TG, DTG, DTA und EGA zur Bestimmung von Karbonaten, Sulfaten Pyrit und organischem Material in Mineralen. Die Methode basiert auf der selektiven direkten Bestimmung des beim Erhitzen der Probe entwickelten SO₃ bzw. CO₂ und der indirekten Bestimmung von Wasser. Die in Freiheit gesetzten Gase (CO₂, SO₃, SO₂) werden im gastitrimetrischen Adapter des Derivatographen gesammelt, in Wasser absorbiert und kontinuierlich und automatisch mit NaOH titriert. Das Volumen der verbrauchten Titrierflüssigkeit wird in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur registriert. In zwei Parallelversuchen wird eine Titration bei pH 4, die andere bei pH 9.3 ausgeführt. Die erstere Messung ergibt nur die Menge an SO₃ (SO₂), während bei der letzteren die Gesamtmenge an SO₃ (SO₂) und CO₂ erhalten wird.

Thermal analysis of Australian coals—A short review

It is evident that thermal analysis studies of Australian coals are of primary significance in the rationalisation of the various physical and chemical processes inherent in energy generation from these fossil fuels. To data, considerable such data has been accumulated correlating combustion efficiency with the coal primary structure, surface phenomena, included metal ions, volatile matter release profiles, particle size and corresponding char properties. The kinetics of these complex processes are now also modelled.

Theory of differential thermal analysis taking into account heat exchange between the specimen and reference cells

A basic formula of differential thermal analysis is evolved for the case when the heat transfer coefficient between the specimen cell and the reference cell is not zero. The more general formula obtained differs from the classical formula by including the parameters of the reference cell and the heat transfer coefficient between the cells. It indicates that utilization of the classical formula is not correct if heat exchange occurs between the cells. To utilize the generalized formula, additional measurements of the temperature changes of the reference material are required. However, if the time constants of the two cells are identical, the formula can be changed to assume the form of the classical formula for DTA if a correction factor is introduced which takes into account the effect of heat exchange between the cells.

---

Zusammenfassung Für den Fall, dass der Übertragungskoeffizient zwischen der Proben- und der Referenzzelle nicht Zero ist, wurde eine Grundformel der Differentialthermoanalyse entwickelt. Die entstandene Formel, die vielmehr allgemein ist, weicht von der klassischen dadurch ab, dass sie auch die Parameter der Referenzzelle, und den Wärmeübertragungskoeffizient zwischen den Zellen enthält. Sie deutet darauf hin, dass die Anwendung der klassischen Formel in dem Fall nicht einwandfrei ist, wenn ein Wärmeaustausch zwischen den Zellen zustande kommt. Zur Anwendung der verallgemeinerten Formel sind weitere Messungen des Temperaturaustausches vom Referenzmaterial erforderlich. Sind aber die Zeitkonstanten der zwei Zellen identisch, kann die Formel so geändert werden, dass sie die Gestalt der klassischen DTA-Formel annimt, wenn ein, mit der Wirkung des Wärmeaustausches zwischen den Zellen rechnender Korrektionsfaktor eingeführt wird.

Mesophasic properties of low molecular weight analogues of nematogenic polycarbonates

The mesophasic behaviour of the following compounds has been investigated by DSC, X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy methods: CH₃(CH₂)₄-CO-R-A _n -R-CO-(CH₂)₄-CH₃,n=9 14, 16 CH₃(CH₂)₄-CO-R-B _n -R-CO-(CH₂)₄-CH₃,n=2, 3A _n=-CO-O-(CH₂)_n–4-O-CO-,B _n =-CO-(OCH₂CH₂) _n -O-CO-,R=-O-Ø-C(CH₃)=N-N=(CH₃)C-Ø-O-,Ø=-C₆H₄ They have been assumed to be low molecular weight models of homologous nematogenic polymers.All the examined compounds exhibit nematic mesomorphism. On complete analogy with the corresponding polymers, the thermodynamic data relative to the nematic-isotropic phase transition show a very reduced, if any, odd-even fluctuation. These data are compared with those obtained for very similar compounds, both polymeric and non-polymeric, containing ester linkages between the rigid and flexible groups, to provide evidence of the reliability of the dimeric compounds as models of the polymeric homologues.

Analog zu den entsprechenden Polymeren zeigen die sich auf den nematisch-isotropen Phasenübergang beziehenden thermodynamischen Daten eine, wenn überhaupt, sehr reduzierte ungerade-gerade Fluktuation. Diese Daten werden mit denen verglichen, die für sehr ähnliche, sowohl polymère als auch nicht-polymere Verbindungen mit Esterbindungen zwischen den starren und flexiblen Gruppen erhalten wurden, um Beweise für die Zuverlässigkeit der auf dimeren Verbindungen aufbauenden Modelle für polymère Homologe zu erhalten.

Structure and reactivity of vanadium-phosphorus oxides

The contribution of thermal methods of analysis to the study of the structure and reactivity of vanadium-phosphorus oxides is examined. In particular, data are reported on the solid-state reaction VOHPO₄·1/2H₂O(VO)₂P₂O₇+2 H₂O for VOHPO₄·1/2H₂O prepared in different ways, on the redox properties of oxidation and reduction of vanadium for catalysts prepared with different PV atomic ratios in the range 0.9–1.3, and on the surface properties determined by TPD of catalysts with different PV ratios. The relationship between these properties and the catalytic properties in the selective oxidation ofn-butane and but-1-ene is discussed.

Autocatalysis in the formose reaction

It has been found that carbohydrates naturally present in ppm quantities in paraformaldehyde are the cause of the autocatalysis in the formose reaction of paraformaldehyde solutions. Paraformaldehyde sublimed into Ca(OH)₂ suspension was not transformed to sugars by formose reaction, only to methanol and formate by Cannizzaro reaction. A minute trace of glycolaldehyde — 3 ppm — was sufficient to initiate conventional autocatalysis. A formose reaction scheme in which formaldehyde reacts only with sugars by aldol condensation but not with itself is proposed.

Dissociative adsorption of propene on chromium molybdate

TPD studies of the interaction of propene with oxidized chromium molybdate have revealed that propene is reversibly chemisorbed on the Cr(MoO₄)₃ surface. The kinetic order of propene desorption is close to 2, which indicates a dissociative character of adsorption. It permits to suggest the presence of a -allyl complex of propene on the surface.

Influence of the gas phase on metallic reference electrodes used in work function measurements

Contact potential differences between electrodes of Pt, Au and Ta of different surface finishing were measured by the dynamic condenser method in propylene and oxygen. Propylene is irreversibly adsorbed, thus changing the work function. This renders the electrodes unsuitable as standard electrodes for work function measurements on catalysts in the atmosphere of hydrocarbons, but they may be used in adsorption studies on oxygen.

Mechanism of thermal decomposition of lead thiosulphate

The thermal decomposition of lead thiosulfate (LTS) was studied by various methods: X-ray phase analysis, IR and ESR spectroscopy, etc. A mechanism of thermal decomposition is suggested, including rupture of the S-S bond and the formation of radicals. According to the mechanism, the reaction rate can be enhanced in the presence of the PbS phase. The formation of PbS is the cause of the topochemical character of the reaction. The composition of the thermolysis products of LTS containing a radioactive isotope of sulfur is predicted.

Effect of water on the desorption of carbon dioxide from the surface of alumina

Based on investigations of temperature-programmed desorption of CO₂ from -Al₂O₃ surface, three forms of CO₂ adsorption differing considerably in quantitative contributions and temperature ranges of desorption have been distinguished. A significant inhibiting influence of water on CO₂ adsorption has been observed. Water adsorption results in gradual blocking of high and medium-energy adsorptive centers of CO₂ on -Al₂O₃.
