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.

Zusammenfassung Mittels einer Kombination von dynamischer Thermoanalyse und Massenspektroskopie wurden die thermischen Eigenschaften einiger Sulfosukzinate und deren Zwischenprodukte untersucht. Im ersten Temperaturbereich der thermischen Zersetzung des Sulfosukzinates findet eine-Spaltung des Molekülions statt. Im zweiten Temperaturbereich tritt auch ein alternativer Fragmentierungsweg auf: eine-Spaltung des Säurerestes des Sulfosukzinates.

Reducibility of a series of RECoO₃ (RE=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy) perovskite-type oxides were measured by temperature programmed reduction (TPR) technique. Catalytic activity for CO oxidation of them were investigated. The relation among T_max in TPR, catalytic activity and surface oxygen binding energy is discussed.

Theoretical studies on the N-containing radicals formed in thermal decompositions of dimethyl- and diethyldiazenes

The geometries and energies of ₁ and ₂ radicals, formed in the thermal reaction of dimethyl- and diethyldiazenes, were investigated by means of UHF-MINDO/3. The stability of radicals was found greater than that of allyl radical. The calculated SOMO energies show a lower reactivity in H-abstraction reactions than that of alkyl and allyl radicals.

Hreels studies of Hads effect on NO adsorption on Pt(111)

HREELS studies of NO molecular adsorption on clean and hydrogen covered Pt(111) have revealed that a reversible transition between bridge (₁) and on-top (₂) states of NO_ads is realized in the (NO+H₂)/Pt(111) system. In the presence of H_ads the adsorption of NO in the ₁ state is inhibited and the main state of NO_ads is ₂. Upon heating the layer (₂-NO_ads+H_ads) hydrogen desorption is accompanied by on-top to bridge state conversion.

Kinetic studies of Pt/Al2O3 catalyst pellets with nonuniform activity

Catalysts with nonuniform distribution of the catalytically active component (Pt) over their porous support (Al₂O₃) have been studied. A nonuniform activity distribution changes not only the reaction rate but also the kinetics can be different on these catalysts.

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.

State of cobalt and molybdenum in cobalt-molybdenum-containing zeolites

NaY and CaHY zeolites containing 7 wt.% Mo and 0.7 wt.% Co have been studied by means of IR and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). It is shown that ammonium heptamolybdate (AHM) interacts with the zeolite forming a silicon molybdenum heteropoly complex (SiMo HPC). In contrast to NaY, along with SiMo HPC, MoO₃ is formed on CaHY after calcining.

X-ray photoelectron (ESCA) spectra of some fluorine containing aluminas

The binding energies of the F(1s) and Al(2p) electrons in fluorine containing alumina catalysts are reported. The X-ray photoelectron peaks confirm the formation of a bulk phase of AlF₃ at higher fluorine contents, whereas the fluorine signals at lower percentages originate from surface groups which are substituted by fluorine. By comparing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with X-ray diffraction we conclude that the combination of these techniques is a potential tool in detecting crystals on a catalyst surface which have a size under the detection limit of X-ray diffraction.

[Cu(-C₂H₂)₂]⁺, [Cu(-CCH₂)₂]⁺ and [Cu(-C₂H₂) (-CCH₂]⁺ complexes have been studied by the ab initio double-zeta basis set method. It has been established that all calculated compounds are stable to decomposition into two C₂H₂ molecules and Cu⁺ cation and into one C₂H₂ molecules and the respective monocomplex. Calculation results suggest the possibility of intramolecular acetylene-vinylidene rearrangement in the coordination sphere of Cu⁺.

Estimation of nonlinear relaxation of catalytic reactions

Nonlinear relaxation time has been considered as a differential characteristic determined by the reciprocal value of the relative decrease in the deviation rate of the current concentration vector of intermediates from that of their steady-state concentrations. This characteristic is used for the analysis of some model reactions.

Design of a gas chromatograph for chemical kinetic studies and measurement of other physicochemical properties

A simple gas chromatograph was constructed for the purpose of studying reaction kinetics parameters and physicochemical properties. The instrument has a large oven that can accommodate rather long and straight columns; an efficient air circulation makes the temperature gradients inside the oven negligible. The injector has a small dead volume and a thermal conductivity detector was used.

Influence of the preparation method on the pore spectrum of Pt?Cr/Al2O3 and Pt?Sn/Al2O3 catalysts

It is shown that, in contrast to classical impregnation methods, in bimetallic catalyst production the texture of the carrier is stabilized by introducing the promoting ion on the surface of Pt/Al₂O₃ with vapors of CrO₂Cl₂ or SnCl₄. This is shown by a relatively slower decrease of the specific area and the volume of the pores upon calcination.
