Isomerization of unsaturated compounds on Pd/Al2O3 in the presence of additives

Studies of the effect of zinc chloride and aluminium additives on the activity of a Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst (5 wt.%Pd) in the isomerization of heptene-1, allylbenzene,p-allylphenol and 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol (eugenol) indicate that the rate and selectivity of isomerization depend on the sequence of addition of salts and reagent to the catalytic system. The simultaneous addition of ZnCl₂ or AlCl₃ with olefin, produces a 2–3 fold increase in the isomer yield compared to ethanol.

Correlation between the surface acidity and activity of bismuth tungstate catalysts

The surface acid strength distribution in bismuth tungstate catalysts with Bi/W ratios of 2/3, 1/1, 2/1 and 6/1 has been investigated. The results are interpreted attributing higher acidities to W–O–W bonds and lower acidities to W=O bonds. An apparent correlation is observed between the surface acidities of the catalysts and their activities in the oxidation and ammoxidation of propylene and 1-butene.

The consistency of repeated H2?O2 titration cycles on supported Pt catalysts

H₂ and O₂ uptakes at 296 K on a Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst remained constant during repeated H₂–O₂ titration cycles conducted in a high vacuum adsorption system. Previously reported variations in these uptakes are attributed to adsorption of contaminants during desorption conditions. Also, it was found that nearly 40% of the H₂ adsorbed could be removed by degassing at 296 K for 1 hr.

Interaction of V2O5 with oxygen in the gas phase

Sorption/evolution of oxygen from V₂O₅ in the temperature range of 480–520°C is due to a shift in the defect equilibrium 1/2 O₂ (gas)+V_oO_o. A first-order kinetic equation can be derived under the assumption that the activation energy depends on the concentration of defects.

New models of monooxygenase on the basis of Sn(II) compounds

The data on the selectivity of various C–H bonds and the stereochemical course of the reaction in the known chemical systems simulating monooxygenase, do not agree with the oxenoid mechanism postulated for these reactions, but correspond to the interaction of saturated hydrocarbons with the OH radical intermediate. On the basis of organic compounds of Sn(II) in aprotic media, new systems have been developed which selectively oxidize alkanes to alcohols in the presence of O₂ in the coupled process and display many characteristics of the oxenoid reactions.

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.

Temperature programmed desorption of NH3 and H2O from NH4NaX and CoNH4NaX zeolites

A study has been made of temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of NH₃ and H₂O from samples of NH₄X and CoNH₄X zeolites of various degree of exchange. NH₃ TPD peaks could be explained by interaction of NH₃ with different Brönsted and Lewis acidic centers. Moreover a water peak at high temperatures allowed interpretations of the dehydroxylation, and by reason of the characteristic desorption temperatures a particular state of the Co²⁺ ions in the CoNH₄X zeolites is postulated.

Hydrogenation of CO2

The hydrogenation of CO₂ has been studied on three different series of catalysts: Fe/MgO, Ni/Ti, Cr/Zn doped with potassium. Reaction was carried out in a conventional flow microreactor system at 15 bar at 250–350°C. Three independent competing reactions: Reverse gas-water shift (RGWS), Fischer-Tropsch (FT) and methanol synthesis were observed.

X-ray study of Re/Al2O3 and Re+Pt/Al2O3 catalysts using synchrotron radiation

Uning synchrotron radiation, L_III rhenium absorption spectra have been studied for Re/Al₂O₃ and Re+Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts obtained by impregnation. For individual rhenium compounds a linear dependence between the shift of absorption edge and the state of rhenium oxidation has been found. The absorption spectra of reduced catalysts are significantly broadened as compared with those of individual compounds of the same valency. This points to the presence of rhenium compounds in different oxidation states.

Calculation of the mass transfer coefficient with a chemical reaction in a gas-liquid system

A solution of the problem of mass transfer in a turbulent boundary layer has been obtained with a first-order chemical reaction occurring in the liquid phase. The dependence of the enhancement factor for absorption and of the mass transfer coefficient on the model parameters can be used for building up a hierarchic model of the gas-liquid reactor.

Compounds responsible for the deactivation of H-USY zeolite during the alkylation of phenol with methanol

H-USY deactivates very rapidly during the alkylation of phenol with methanol at 200°C. The retention in the pores of compounds resulting from successive O- and C-alkylation of phenol (such as polymethylphenols and polymethylanisoles) is responsible for this deactivation. The retention of these compounds in the pores is not due to their steric blockage but to their low volatility and their strong adsorption.

Thermal decomposition of copper(II)phthalate monohydrate

The thermal dehydration and decomposition of copper(II) phthalate monohydrate was studied by isothermal and non-isothermal methods. The decomposition process consisted of three steps: two steps of dehydration and the third of decomposition. The kinetics of isothermal dehydration reactions follow (i) a unimolecular law up to the formation of copper(II) phthalate hemihydrate, and (ii) a phase boundary model giving anhydrous copper(II) phthalate, while the kinetics of isothermal decomposition reaction comply with the Erofeev-Avrami equation, [–ln(1–)]^1/n =Kt+C. The energies of activation for the formation of the decomposition products were calculated. The decomposition products were characterized by elemental analysis, photomicrographic observations, infrared and reflectance spectra and X-ray powder diffraction data.

Modification of preparation technique for highly dispersed Ni/γ?Al2O3 catalysts

Highly dispersed Ni/–Al₂O₃ catalysts have been prepared by the method of double impregnation. The application of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (H₄Y) as a chelating agent for activation of the -Al₂O₃ support enables us to prepare highly dispersed Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts. The use of this chelating agent according to the described modification of the impregnation technique results in the highest dispersity of the metal component in the catalysts obtained.

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of L-ascorbic acid by 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol in aqueous solution

The kinetics of oxidation of L-ascorbic acid by 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol in aqueous solution has been studied. The rate of the reaction decreases with increasing pH since the hydrogen ascorbate ion is less reactive than the unionized L-ascorbic acid. The rate constants for the oxidation of the two species have been evaluated and a plausible mechanism of the reaction is suggested.
