Theoretical study on the reaction pathways of HFCO + H2O

For the reaction of methanoyl fluoride with water, both optimized structures and vibrational wavenumbers of reaction intermediates, transition structures and product complexes were calculated and characterized with theory at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) level. Including a catalytic path and concerted and stepwise hydrolysis paths, possible reaction mechanisms were also investigated. The catalytic reaction of HFCO yielding HF and CO has the smallest activation barrier, 29.6 kcal/mol, whereas for the concerted hydrolysis 33.0 kcal/mol is required to overcome the barrier to form transoid HCOOH + HF, which is less than for the stepwise counterpart, 42.0 kcal/mol.     

Direct quantum mechanical calculation of the F + H2 → HF + H thermal rate constant

Accurate full-dimensional quantum mechanical thermal rate constant values have been calculated for the F+H₂→HF+H reaction on the Stark–Werner ab initio potential energy surface. These calculations are based on a flux correlation functions and employ a rigorous statistical sampling scheme to account for the overall rotation and the MCTDH scheme for the wave packet propagation. Our results shed some light on discrepancies on the thermal rate found for previous flux correlation based calculations with respect to accurate reactive scattering results. The resonance pattern of the all-J cumulative reaction probability is analyzed in terms of the partial wave contributions.     

Supported bimetallic catalyst Pt-Pb/SiO2 for selective conversion of nitrobenzene to p-aminophenol in pressurized CO2/H2O system

Various supported Pt-Pb bimetallic catalysts were prepared and applied for the catalytic conversion of nitrobenzene to p-aminophenol in the environmentally benign pressurized CO_2/H_2O system.Among the bimetallic catalysts prepared,Pt-Pb/SiO_2 is the best and nitrobenzene could be converted to paminophenol with a selectivity as high as 82% when the reaction was carried out using this catalyst at110 ℃ under 5 MPa CO_2 and 0.2 MPa H_2.     

Measurement and correlation of the solubility of MnSO4·H2O in ethanol + water + MgSO4·7H2O solutions

Data on the solubility of manganese sulphate monohydrate in water, and in aqueous alcohols is essential for salting-out crystallisation studies. The solubilities of the quaternary system MnSO₄·H₂O + MgSO₄·7H₂O + H₂O + EtOH were determined in the temperature range 293.2–323.2 K over the ethanol mole fraction range of 0.00–0.12. The solubility data were used for modelling with the modified extended electrolyte non-random two-liquid (NRTL) equation. The present extension uses ion-specific parameters instead of the electrolyte-specific NRTL binary interaction parameters. This approach has feasibility for many electrolytes and mixed aqueous solution systems in principle. The model was found to correlate the solubility data satisfactorily.     

High-pressure phase behaviour of the binary system {CO2 + cis-decalin} from (292.75 to 373.75) K

The phase behaviour of the {CO₂ (1) + cis-decalin (2)} binary system has been experimentally studied at temperatures ranging from (292.75 to 373.75) K. Saturation pressures, ranging from (15.9 to 490.5) bar, were obtained using a variable volume high-pressure cell by visual observation of phase transitions at constant overall composition. For this system, no literature data are available and the results obtained in this study reveal the occurrence of vapor–liquid, liquid–liquid, and vapor–liquid–liquid phase transitions in the investigated temperature range. A total of 133 experimental points are reported including bubble points, dew points, liquid–liquid phase equilibria, and coordinates of the three-phase line. The experimental data can be reasonably predicted by the PPR78 model in which the temperature-dependent binary interaction parameter is calculated by a group contribution method.

On the basis of the Coats-Redfern's integral equation and Ozawa's equation. the probable mechanism of the dehydration process of FeC2O4 2H2O was investigated using double extrapolation. The dehydration Process includes two steps. The first step is the nuclear producing and growing process(n=1.5), G(α)= [ln(1-α)]1/1.5; the second step is a two-dimensional diffusion process, G(α)=(1-α)ln(1-α)+a: the corresponding kinetic parameters were determined.

Phase diagram and thermodynamic modeling of PEO + organic salts + H2O and PPO + organic salts + H2O aqueous two-phase systems

The phase diagrams of PEO1500 + sodium tartrate + water, PPO400 + sodium tartrate + water, PEO1500 + sodium succinate + water, PPO400 + sodium succinate + water, PEO1500 + sodium citrate + water, PPO400 + sodium citrate + water and PPO400 + sodium acetate + water aqueous two-phase systems were determined at (283.15, 298.15, and 313.15) K. Both equilibrium phases composition were analyzed by conductimetry and refractive index. In this paper, the influences of polymer hydrophobicity, salt nature and temperature on the phase diagram were analyzed. The phase separation processes was endothermic and the hydrophobic increase make easier the phase splitting, while the electrolyte capacity to induce phase separation follow the order: citrate > tartrate > succinate. The consistency of the tie-line data was ascertained by applying the Othmer-Tobias correlation. The experimental data were correlated with the NRTL model for the activity coefficient, with estimation of new interaction energy parameters. The results, analyzed in terms of root mean square deviations between experimental and calculated compositions, were considered satisfactory.     

Thermal decomposition mechanisms of MgCl2·6H2O and MgCl2·H2O

The thermal decomposition mechanisms and the intermediate morphology of MgCl₂·6H₂O and MgCl₂·H₂O were studied using integrated thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and chemical analysis. The results showed that there were six steps in the thermal decomposition of MgCl₂·6H₂O: producing MgCl₂·4H₂O at 69 °C, MgCl₂·2H₂O at 129 °C, MgCl₂·nH₂O (1 ≤ n ≤ 2) and MgOHCl at 167 °C, the conversion of MgCl₂·nH₂O (1 ≤ n ≤ 2) to Mg(OH)Cl·0.3H₂O by simultaneous dehydration and hydrolysis at 203 °C, the dehydration of Mg(OH)Cl·0.3H₂O to MgOHCl at 235 °C, and finally the direct conversion of MgOHCl to the cylindrical particles of MgO at 415 °C. To restrain the sample hydrolysis and to obtain MgCl₂·H₂O, MgCl₂·6H₂O was first calcined in HCl atmosphere until 203 °C when MgCl₂·H₂O was obtained; HCl gas was then turned off and the calcination process continued, producing Mg₃Cl₂(OH)₄·2H₂O calcined at 203 °C, Mg₃(OH)₄Cl₂ at 220 °C and MgO at 360 °C. The temperature of producing MgO from calcination of MgCl₂·H₂O was lower (360 °C) than that from MgCl₂·6H₂O (415 °C) because of its more reactive intermediate products: the irregular shape and tiny needle-like Mg₃Cl₂(OH)₄·2H₂O particles and the uneven surface porous Mg₃(OH)₄Cl₂ particles. The MgO particles obtained at 360 °C had a flake structure.     

Pt/MOx(M=Ni,Fe,Co,Ce)催化剂上CO氧化反应中抗H2O与CO2的性能研究

我们研究了4种负载型Pt催化剂（1Pt/NiO、1Pt/FeO_x、1Pt/Co₃O₄和Pt/CeO₂）上不同反应条件下CO氧化活性及抗H₂O和CO₂性能.发现反应气氛中CO₂的加入与CO形成了竞争吸附,并在催化剂表面形成了碳酸盐物种堵塞了活性位,从而导致催化剂失活.反应气氛中H₂O的加入对1Pt/CeO₂催化剂的活性有所抑制,但对1Pt/FeO_x、1Pt/NiO和1Pt/Co₃O₄催化剂的活性却有促进作用.在1Pt/FeO_x和1Pt/CeO₂催化剂上的分步反应实验和动力学研究表明,尽管H₂O的加入在两种催化剂上均与CO形成了竞争吸附,但在1Pt/FeO_x催化剂上H₂O在载体表面解离形成的羟基更易与CO反应,开辟了新的反应途径,从而提高了反应性能.此外,H₂O的加入能有效分解该催化剂上的碳酸盐物种,从而保持了其稳定性.     

尿素/H2O2溶液同时脱硫脱硝机理研究

在填料塔上对尿素/H₂O₂溶液同时脱硫脱硝进行了实验研究。结果表明,尿素溶液对SO₂具有很高的去除效率,但对NO_x的去除受到多种因素的影响。实验主要研究了H₂O₂浓度、吸收反应温度、溶液pH值等因素对脱硝效率的影响,并确定了最佳实验条件,在此条件下脱硫脱硝效率分别达到100%和52.6%。同时,采用化学分析法和气相色谱法对尿素溶液同时脱硫脱硝的反应产物进行分析,推导出尿素/H₂O₂溶液同时脱硫脱硝的反应机理和总化学反应方程式。该技术可用于对现有湿法脱硫技术的改造,使其同时具有脱硫脱硝功能。     

Effect of electron beam irradiation on CO2 reforming of methane over Ni/Al2O3 catalysts

The effect of electron beam irradiation on the CO₂ reforming of methane over Ni/Al₂O₃ was investigated. The conversion rate of CO₂ and CH₄ forming H₂ and CO using various catalysts irradiated with an absorbed dose greater than 2 MGy was 5–10% higher than when using an untreated catalyst. The Ni/O ratio on the catalyst surface increased after treatment with an electron beam, and was more prominent for catalysts with a higher Ni content. As such, based on XRD and XPS measurements, electron beam treatment was found to result in either the desorption of oxygen from NiO or the removal of OH groups from the outermost surface layer of the catalyst. In addition, the concentration of active sites, such as Ni²⁺ and NiO, or surface defects was also found to increase with the absorbed radiation dose, thereby increasing the conversion rate.     

CaO对Cu-ZnO-ZrO_2催化CO_2加H_2合成甲醇性能影响

用CaO作为改性助剂,采用并流共沉淀法制备了CuO∶ZnO∶ZrO_2为5∶4∶1(物质的量比),CaO添加量为0、1%、2%、4%、8%、16%(摩尔分数)的六组催化剂。用X射线衍射(XRD)、微商热重(TG-DTG)、傅里叶红外(FT-IR)、N2吸附脱附(BET)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、氢气程序升温还原(H_2-TPR)、CO_2程序升温脱附(CO_2-TPD)、NH_3程序升温脱附(NH_3-TPD)对催化剂进行了表征。用自制固定床评价了催化剂活性。结果表明,添加CaO后,催化剂路易斯酸性和表面碱性增强;催化剂母体中高温碳酸盐含量增加,热稳定性增强,CuO颗粒粒径变小,Cu-Zn协同作用增强,Cu比表面积增大,分散性变好。催化剂活性受到表面酸碱性、铜比表面积、Cu-Zn协同作用和铜分散性共同影响。当CaO为2%时,铜比表面积为79.3 m2/g、铜分散度为34.8%、CO_2转化率为24.55%、甲醇选择性为19.01%、甲醇收率为0.044 g/(gcat·h),催化剂活性最好。过量CaO占据催化剂孔道和覆盖表面活性位,使催化剂路易斯酸性和表面碱性过强,CuO与H_2有效接触减少,CO_2难以脱附,催化活性下降。因此,适量CaO(2%)添加可促进CO_2加氢反应合成甲醇。     

Synthesis of Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2·4H2O with Flower-like Microstructure and Its Catalytic Activity for Transesterification of Dimethyl Carbonate with Phenol

A novel flower-like hydrated magnesium carbonate hydroxide,Mg_5(CO_3)_4(OH)_2·4H_2O,with micro-structure composed of individual thin nano-sheets was synthesized using a facile solution route without the use of template or organic surfactant.Reaction time has an important effect on the final morphology of the product.The micro-structure and morphology of Mg_5(CO_3)_4(OH)_2·4H_2O were characterized by means of X-ray diffractometry(XRD),field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM).Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET)surface areas of the samples were also measured.The probable formation mechanism of flower-like micro-structure was discussed.It was found that Mg_5(CO_3)_4(OH)_2·4H_2O with flower-like micro-structure was a novel and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of diphenyl carbonate(DPC)by transesterification of dimethyl carbonate(DMC)with phenol.     

Improvement of stability of a Fe/Mg/Al2O3 catalyst for the decomposition of methane in the presence of O2/CO2

The stability of an Fe/Al₂O₃ catalyst in the methane decomposition in the presence of O₂/CO₂ was found to be improved by the addition of Mg into the catalyst (Mg/Fe=1/1 wt ratio), probably due to suppression of carbon deposition even under CH₄/ O₂/CO₂ (80/10/5 vol. ratio) conditions. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Kinetics of the CCl2 + Br2 and CCl2 + NO2 reactions in the temperature range 266−365 K and reactivity of the CCl2 biradical

The kinetics of the CCl₂ + Br₂ and CCl₂ + NO₂ reactions have been studied at temperatures between 266 and 365 K using laser photolysis/photoionization mass spectrometry. Dichloromethylene biradicals were produced by the pulsed laser photolysis of CCl₄. The bimolecular rate coefficients of the CCl₂ + Br₂ reaction can be described by the Arrhenius expression k₁ = (7.05 ± 1.75) × 10⁻¹² exp[(3.52 ± 0.63) kJ mol⁻¹/RT] cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹. CCl₂Br was observed as a primary product of this reaction. Interestingly, the bimolecular rate coefficients of the CCl₂ + NO₂ reaction were observed to depend weakly on the bath gas density and to possess a negative temperature dependence.     

原位XRD反应装置下H2O对Fe5 C2的物相及F-T反应性能影响的研究

将原位XRD反应装置与在线气相色谱技术结合,研究了不同H_2O含量(4.36%、1.68%、0.56%)条件下单一相Fe_5C_2的氧化速率,并考察了不同Fe_5C_2氧化程度(0、25%、55%、68%)和氧化次数对其费托合成(F-T)反应性能的影响。研究结果表明,Fe_5C_2物相的氧化速率随H_2O含量的提高而逐渐增加,同时H_2O氧化使Fe_5C_2颗粒粒径减小,暴露出更多活性位点,造成F-T反应活性提高,且氧化程度越大,活性提高越明显;随着氧化次数的增加,F-T反应活性逐渐提高,但CH_4选择性增加,C_(5+)选择性逐渐降低。     

Catalytic decomposition of H2O2 on Co3O4 doped with MgO and V2O5

The effects of doping of Co₃O₄with MgO (0.4–6 mol%) and V₂O₅ (0.20–0.75 mol%) on its surface and catalytic properties were investigated using nitrogen adsorption at −196°C and decomposition of H₂O₂ at 30–50°C. Pure and doped samples were prepared by thermal decomposition in air at 500–900°C, of pure basic cobalt carbonate and basic carbonate treated with different proportions of magnesium nitrate and ammonium vanadate. The results revealed that, V₂O₅ doping followed by precalcination at 500–900°C did not much modify the specific surface area of the treated Co₃O₄ solid. Treatment of Co₃O₄ with MgO at 500–900°C resulted in a significant increase in the specific surface area of cobaltic oxide. The catalytic activity in H₂O₂ decomposition, of Co₃O₄ was found to suffer a considerable increase by treatment with MgO. The maximum increase in the catalytic reaction rate constant (k) measured at 40°C on Co₃O₄ due to doping with 3 mol% MgO attained 218, 590 and 275% for the catalysts precalcined at 500, 700 and 900°C, respectively. V₂O₅-doping of Co₃O₄ brought about a significant progressive decrease in its catalytic activity. The maximum decrease in the reaction rate constant measured at 40°C over the 0.75 mol% V₂O₅-doped Co₃O₄ solid attained 68 and 93% for the catalyst samples precalcined at 500 and 900°C, respectively. The doping process did not modify the activation energy of the catalyzed reaction but much modified the concentration of catalytically active constituents without changing their energetic nature. MgO-doping increased the concentration of CO³⁺–CO²⁺ ion pairs and created Mg²⁺–CO³⁺ ion pairs increasing thus the number of active constituents involved in the catalytic decomposition of H₂O₂. V₂O₅-doping exerted an opposite effect via decreasing the number of CO³⁺–CO²⁺ ion pairs besides the possible formation of cobalt vanadate.     

Theoretical kinetic study of two competing paths in the H2O2 + O(P) → HO2 + OH reaction

Ab initio-TST calculations were carried out to study the kinetics of the title reaction. The H atom and the OH abstraction paths leading to the same products HO₂ and OH have been considered. The ZPE and BSSE corrected classical barrier heights were predicted to be 7.4 and 17.3 kcal/mol, respectively. Calculated thermal rate constants over the temperature range 300–5000 K showed that the H-abstraction path was the most likely to occur for temperatures below 2500 K which confirms the result found in a previous study [Y. Tarchouna, M. Bahri, N. Jaïdane, Z. Ben Lakdar, J. Mol. Struct. (Theochem), 189 (2003) 664]. The contribution of OH abstraction path to the reaction was predicted to be important for high temperatures.
