Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Glycol by Dihydroxydiperiodatonickelate ( Ⅳ )Complex in Aqueous Alkaline Medium

The kinetics of oxidation of glycol by dihydroxydiperiodato nickelate ( Ⅳ) complex (DDN) was studied by spectrophotometry in aqueous alkaline medium in a temperature range of 25-40℃. The reaction was found to be first order with respect to Ni( Ⅳ ) and also to be first order with respect to glycol. The rate increases with the increase in [OH ] and decreases with the increase in [IO-4], showing that dihydroxymonoperiodatonickelate ( Ⅳ )(DMN) is the reactive species of oxidant. Salt effect indicated that the reaction is of ion-dipole type. No free radical was detected. A mechanism of an inner-sphere two-electron transfer reaction involving a preequilibrium between DDN and DMN is proposed, and the rate equation derived from the mechanism can explain all experimental observations. Activation parameters of the rate-determing step and the equilibrium constants were calculated.

THEORETICAL STUDY ON THE 1,4-CYCLO-ADDITION REACTION BETWEEN SINGLET OXYGEN (~(1)O_(2)) AND IMIDAZOLE

Quantum chemical ab initio method has been used to study the cycloaddition reaction between singlet oxygen and imidazole theoretically. The intermediate product, an endoper-oxide, of which the structure has not yet been found experimentally was optimized by using energy gradient method. The transition state (TS) structure of this reaction was also located on the potential energy surface and characterized. From the structural features of the TS, e.g. the transition vector of the imaginary vibration mode, as well as the interaction of orbitals, it is realized that this cycloaddition is a synchronous concerted reaction. The activation barriers calculated are 69.5 kJ·mol (forward reaction) and 140.4 kJ·mol-1 (backward reaction) respectively (6-31G results).

In this study, the kinetics and mechanism of the iridium(Ⅲ)-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol amine(EAN) by cerium(Ⅳ) in a sulfuric acid medium was investigated using titrimetric technique of redox in a temperature range of 298-313 K. It was found that the reaction is of first order with respect to Ce(Ⅳ) and Ir(Ⅲ), and a positive fractional order with respect to EAN. It was also found that the pseudo-first-order([EAN](》)[Ce(Ⅳ)]) rate constant kobs decreases with the increase of [H ] and [HSO-4]. Under the protection of nitrogen gas, the reaction system can initiate the polymerization of acrylonitrile, indicating the generation of free radicals.

From the dependence of kobs on the concentration of hydrogen sulfate, Ce(SO4)2 was found to be the kinetically active species. The rate constants of the rate-determining step together with the activation parameters were evaluated.

The most stable conformation of the phosphorous heterocycle is envelope-form. From the bond length and the hybridization of the nitrogen atom outside the ring, it was deduced that there was a certain contribution of dπ-pπ bond between P and N atoms.     

SYNTHESIS OF MESO-TETRA (4-METHOXYPHENYL-3-SULFONATE) PORPHINE AND SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC STUDY OF COLOUR REACTION WITH COPPER

In this paper meso-tetra (4-methoxyphenyl-3-sulpho) Porphine (TMPPS_4) was synthesized and its colour reaction with copper was studied. It was found to be a highly sensitive and highly selective reagent for the direct spectrophotometric determination of ultramicro amount of copper. The apparent molar absorptivity of the complex is 3.72×10~5L/mol·cm. Beer's law is obeyed for Cu(Ⅱ)of 0～1.4μg/10ml. The interference of 21 different ions and 6 kinds of salts were examined and found to be minimal. The complex formation of Cu(Ⅱ) with TMPPS_4 is generally slow at room temperature<<25℃>, but the reaction can be accelerated in the presence of NH_2OH·>HCl and completed within 5min. At PH 5.2 the Soret band of TMPPS_4 overlaps almost completetely with that of the complex. Therefore, the complex formation is taken to completion at this PH. Then the Soret band of TMPPS_4 shifted away from that of the complex by acidification.This simple and rapid method has been successfully applied to the direct determination of Cu in Al-alloys, industrial water, foods and human hair.

Application of Fe2O3/Al2O3 Composite Particles as Oxygen Carrier of Chemical Looping Combustion

Chemical looping combustion (CLC) of carbonaceous compounds has been proposed, in the past decade, as an efficient method for CO2 capture without cost of extra energy penalties. The technique involves the use of a metal oxide as an oxygen carrier that transfers oxygen from combustion air to fuels. The combustion is carried out in a two-step process: in the fuel reactor, the fuel is oxidized by a metal oxide, and in the air reactor, the reduced metal is oxidized back to the original phase. The use of iron oxide as an oxygen carrier has been investigated in this article. Particles composed of 80 wt% Fe2O3, together with Al2O3 as binder, have been prepared by impregnation methods. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals that Fe2O3 does not interact with the Al2O3 binder after multi-cycles. The reactivity of the oxygen carrier particles has been studied in twenty-cycle reduction-oxidation tests in a thermal gravimetrical analysis (TGA) reactor. The components in the outlet gas have been analyzed. It has been observed that about 85% of CH4 converted to CO2 and H2O during most of the reduction periods. The oxygen carrier has kept quite a high reactivity in the twenty-cycle reactions. In the first twenty reaction cycles, the reaction rates became slightly higher with the number of cyclic reactions increasing, which was confirmed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) test results. The SEM analysis revealed that the pore size inside the particle had been enlarged by the thermal stress during the reaction, which was favorable for diffusion of the gaseous reactants into the particles. The experimental results suggested that the Fe2O3/Al2O3 oxygen carrier was a promising candidate for a CLC system.
