Crystallization of iron phosphate glasses

Differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy were employed in the investigation of crystalline products of FeO_x-P₂O₅ glasses generated by various heat treatments. In glasses with a high value of =Fe²⁺/(Fe²⁺ + Fe³⁺), absorption of oxygen occurs in a broad temperature range identified by TG. Depending on the value of , two exotherms appear in the DTA curves, the low-temperature one corresponding to crystallization of the Fe₃(PO₄)₂ type regions, and the high-temperature one being related to various phases with dominating FePO₄. Each exotherm has its own transformation region, identical in absolute value. The Mössbauer spectra of glasses which underwent thermal treatment at higher temperatures exhibit some indication of phases of the types Fe₃(PO₄)₂ · xH₂O and FePO₄ · xH₂O.

Zusammenfassung Differentialthermoanalyse (DTA), thermogravimetrische Analyse (TG), Röntgendiffraktion und Mössbauerspektroskopie wurden bei der Untersuchung (von kristalliner Produkte) durch verschiedene thermische Behandlungen hergestellten FeO_x-P₂O₅ Gläsern eingesetzt. In den Glasarten mit einem hohen Wert von =Fe²⁺/(Fe²⁺ + Fe³⁺) erfolgt die Sauerstoffabsorption in einem durch TG [nachgewiesenen breiten Temperaturbereich. In Abhängigkeit von dem -Wert erscheinen zwei Exothermen in den DTA-Kurven, von denen der bei niedriger Temperatur die Kristallisation des Fe₃(PO₄)₂ entspricht, und jener bei höheren Temperaturen in verschiedenen Phasen dem FePO₄. Jede Exotherme hat ihr eigenes Umwandlungsgebiet, das in absolutem Wert identisch ist. Die Mössbauer-Spektren der Gläser welche einer Wärmebehandlung bei höheren Temperaturen unterzogen worden sind, weisen einige Indikationsphasen der Typen Fe₃(PO₄)₂ · xH₂O und FePO₄ · xH₂O auf.

Studies of the structure of multicomponent Raney nickel catalysts

Genesis and structure of Raney nickel catalysts modified by Mo, Fe and Ca have been studied by XPS, SIMS and Auger and electron microprobe methods. It has been established that these catalysts are inhomogeneous and their structure can be described by models accounting for the interaction and localization character of metal components, their oxides and hydroxides.

Influence of water on the heat of hydrogen adsorption on nickel

Water and hydrogen adsorption on Ni-black has been studied by a microcalorimetric method. The heat of hydrogen adsorption is considerably different on clean surfaces and on those covered with 20–50% chemisorbed water. In the former case it varies between 33 and 8 kcal/mol, and in the latter between 26 and 4.6 kcal/mol. The decrease in the heat of hydrogen adsorption is related to the energy requirement of water desorption. On the hydrogen-covered catalyst surface no water adsorption occurs.

Adsorption characteristics of some zeolites

Attempts have been made to correlate the Si/Al atom ratio, the degree of crystallinity, crystallite dimensions and the mean diameter of crystalline particles with the relative adsorption affinity index (RAI). Differences in molecular sieving effect and in some diffusional aspects between traditional zeolites and the new shape-selective ZSM are revealed by the adsorption characteristics of cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, neopentane and xylenes.

Some spectroscopic and freezing point depression measurements on the homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst CoH3(PPh3)3

NMR, EPR and freezing point depression (FPD) experiments were performed on solutions of the homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst CoH₃(PPh₃)₃. The results of these measurements show that the compound has a dynamic structure on the NMR time scale at room temperature and that it is slightly dissociated into bisphosphine species and free phosphine. FPD and¹H-NMR measurements indicate that one Et₂O molecule is present per catalyst molecule.

Décomposition thermique du sulfite de fer(II) anhydre

Résumé Sous azote ou sous vide, le sulfite ferreux anhydre se décompose vers 210° en magnétite, pyrite et dioxyde de soufre. Concurremment une réaction de dismutation intervient avec formation de FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ et FeS₂. Lorsque la température atteint 320°, la pyrite et le sulfate réagissent ensemble pour donner Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ et SO₂. Au-delà de 370° le sulfure ferreux non-stchiométrique commence à réagir à son tour avec le sulfate restant pour former de la magnetite et du dioxyde de soufre.

In nitrogen or under vacuum, anhydrous iron(II) sulfite decomposes near 210° to magnetite, pyrite and sulfur dioxide. A parallel disproportionation reaction occurs with formation of FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ and FeS₂. When the temperature reaches 320°, pyrite and sulfate react together to give Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ and SO₂. Above 370° the non-stoichiometric ferrous sulfide begins to react with the remaining sulfate to give magnetite and sulfur dioxide.

Molecular-weight dependence of the glass transition temperatures of rigid SIS triblock copolymers studied by DSC

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements have been carried out on a series of ABA poly(styrene-b-isoprene) triblock copolymers with 30% polyisoprene content and various molecular weights. The DSC data show an inward shift for the glass transition temperatures (T _g) of the blocks compared to the corresponding homopolymers. As a function of the molecular weight, one to three transitions were found. The additional thirdT _g gives some further evidence of the existence of an interphase between the microdomains.

Catalytic activity of high-silicon TsVK and Y type zeolites

Conversion of paraffins on TsVK and Y zeolites follow a similar mechanism yielding the same intermediates. Low selectivity of Y zeolites with respect to aromatic hydrocarbons is attributed to the strong adsorption of these hydrocarbons on zeolites. It is assumed that the centers of strong adsorption are Al³⁺ ions in cationic positions in zeolite.

The importance of the CO 2 2− anion in the mechanism of thermal decomposition of oxalates

The effects of active (carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide) and neutral (helium, argon and nitrogen) atmospheres on the course of thermal decomposition of oxalates have been studied and compared. A mechanism of thermal decomposition has been proposed on the basis of the results obtained, the first stage of which consists in a heterolytic dissociation of the C-C bond, with the formation of carbon dioxide and the CO ₂ ^2– anion.

Effect of bond energies of a catalyst with reacting atoms on the selectivity of CO hydrogenation over metals

In hydrogenation over metals (M)_j carbon monoxide is adsorbed as a molecule. C–O bond rupture in partially hydrogenated complex, MCHOH, leads to MO and MCH₂ and then to hydrocarbons, while transformation of MCHOH into MCH₂OH gives alcohols and other oxygen-containing compounds. Selectivity towards hydrocarbons increases with increasing energy of M–O bonds.
