La and Zn promotion of Ru Fischer-Tropsch catalysts

An investigation of the use of La- and Zn-promoters for Ru/SiO₂ F-T catalysts has been carried out. It was found that, while the use of a La-promoter did not result in any improvement over the use of a K one, Zn-promotion resulted in much higher yields of olefins. The CH₄ and olefin selectivities of the Zn-promoted Ru/SiO₂ were essentially insensitive to temperature over the range 250–320 °C. The Zn-promoted catalyst was found to have many of the same catalytic properties previously found for Ru/ZnO, but was much more active. Thus, it is possible to achieve certain interesting catalytic properties for Ru by the use of Zn-promotion without having to make use of the low surface area support ZnO.

Chiral recognition of enantiomeric peptides in water at 25° by calorimetry

The heats of dilution in water of binary and ternary solutions of the two enantiomeric forms ofN-acetylalanineamide have been measured at 25°. The excess enthalpies, expressed as virial expansion series, permit evaluation of the pairwise self and cross enthalpic coefficients. As for the chiral forms of some monosaccharides, the cross coefficient for the interaction between theD andL forms ofN-acetylalanineamide is slightly but significantly different from the corresponding self coefficient. A weak, water-mediated chiral recognition can be assumed to exist between pairs of amide molecules.

Zusammenfassung Die Verdünnungswärmen von binären und ternären wässrigen Lösungen der zwei enantiomeren Formen von N-Acetylalaninamid wurden bei 25 °C gemessen. Die in einer Virialexpansionsreihe entwickelten Überschußenthalpien ermöglichen die Berechnung der self und cross Enthalpiekoeffizientenpaare. Was die optisch aktiven Formen einiger Monosaccharide anbetrifft, so ist der cross Koeffizient für die Wechselwirkung zwischen der D- und L-Form von N-Acetylalaninamid etwas, aber signifikant verschieden von dem entsprechenden self Koeffizienten. Es kann angenommen werden, daß Paare von Amidmolekülen eine schwache, durch Wasser vermittelte Unterscheidungsfähigkeit hinsichtlich der optischen Aktivität zeigen.

The thermal decomposition reactions of bis-(pyridine-2-aldoxime)-copper(II) complexes

The thermal properties of some complexes of copper(II) with pyridine-2-aldoxime (HPAO), where the ligand appears either as the ion (PAO^–) or as a neutral molecule, were determined in vacuo and in dynamic nitrogen and oxygen gas atmospheres. The study was carried out by thermoanalytical (TG, DTG. DTA), spectroscopic and spectrometric (UV-visible, IR, diffuse reflectance, mass) techniques.The initial decomposition temperature is influenced by the number of acid hydrogens in the complex; the thermal stability sequence in vacuo is: [Cu(PAO)₂H]Cl > [Cu(PAO)₂H₂]Cl₂ > [Cu(PAO)₂]The thermal decomposition reactions occur in several separate steps, the first of which gives rise to partial ligand decomposition, the reduction of copper(II) to copper(I), and the conversion of the residual pyridine-2-aldoxime into acid amide.

Zusammenfassung Die thermischen Eigenschaften einiger Komplexe von Kupfer(II) mit Pyridin-2-aldoxim (HPAO), in denen der Ligand entweder als Ion (PAO^–) oder als neutrales Molekül vorliegt, wurden im Vakuum und in dynamischer N₂- und O₂-Atmosphäre ermittelt. Zur Untersuchung wurden thermoanalytische (TG, DTG, DTA) und spektrometrische (UV-sichtbar, IR, diffuse Reflektionsspektrophotometrie, Massenspektrometrie) Techniken herangezogen. Die Temperatur, bei der die Zersetzung beginnt, wird durch die Zahl der sauren Wasserstoffatome im Komplex beeinflußt; für die thermische Stabilität im Vakuum gilt die Reihenfolge [Cu(PAO)₂H]Cl > [Cu(PAO)₂H₂]Cl₂ > [Cu(PAO)₂]. Die thermischen Zersetzurigsreaktionen verlaufen in mehreren diskreten Schritten, wobei der erste von diesen eine partielle Zersetzung des Liganden, die Reduktion von Kupfer(II) zu Kupfer(I) und die Konversion des verbleibenden Pyridin-2-aldoxims in das Säureamid in sich einschließt.

X-ray studies of interaction between magnesium chloride and ethyl benzoate, components of the catalyst for propylene polymerization

X-ray studies of the interaction between highly dispersed magnesium dichloride and ethyl benzoate (EB) at different molar ratios EB/MgCl₂, and the effect of their grinding indicate that a new compound of MgCl₂ and EB is formed. Grinding destroys the crystal phase of the new compound, thus increasing the activity and stereospecificity of the catalyst obtained.

Effect of oxygen on reduction of NO with carbon monoxide over NiO and Cr2O3

Cr₂O₃ is found to be a less active catalyst than NiO in reduction of nitrogen oxides. Introduction of molecular oxygen into the NO–CO mixture decreases the conversion of NO_x on both catalysts. On NiO it is due to competition between O₂ and nitrogen oxides for CO. On Cr₂O₃ it is caused by the complete suppression of this reaction.

Role of palladium additives in CO oxidation over a complex vanadium catalyst

At small concentrations of CO, palladium initiates a radical-chain process. At high CO concentrations CO oxidation occurs only on the surface of the heterogeneous catalyst and the effect of palladium is mainly due to the specific activation of carbon monoxide on the palladium surface.

Comparison of activities of cracking catalysts containing ZSM-5 and Y-zeolite

Studies on the catalytic cracking of diesel oil fraction with the boiling range of 493–603 K on H-ZSM-5 and RE, H-Y zeolites has been carried out. The results show that in the presence of H-ZSM-5 zeolite no significant increase in the yield of gasoline is observed. Higher percentage of unsaturated hydrocarbons in the gasoline and gases indicates that the hydrogen transfer activity of H-ZSM-5 containing catalyst is lower than that of RE, H-Y zeolites.

Quantitative thermogravimetry of multicomponent zeolite-bearing rocks

A quantitative thermoanalytical determination of mixture compositions is extremely difficult if there is a partial or full overlapping of the temperature ranges of the thermal transformations, and a proximity of the quantitative characteristics of the weight changes is also observed. A method of quantitative analysis of such a system is offered, based on the calculation of differences in the regularity of rate variation of the thermal transformations of the separate mixture components. The principle of distinguishing temperature intervals with maximum differentiation of thermal effects and methods of calculation of the quantitative mixture composition is shown. Examples of determination of the mineral compositions of zeolite-bearing rock are given.

Résumé La détermination quantitative de la composition d'un mélange est très difficile par les méthodes thermoanalytiques si les intervalles de température où s'effectuent les transformations se chevauchent partiellement ou totalement et si les variations pondérales sont proches les unes des autres. Pour effectuer l'analyse quantitative d'un tel système, on présente ici une méthode qui repose sur le calcul des modifications de la vitesse de transformation des composants individuels du mélange. On décrit le principe suivant lequel on effectue la distinction des intervalles de température avec une différenciation maximale des effets thermiques ainsi que les méthodes permettant de calculer la composition du mélange. Le dosage des constituants présents dans des roches à zéolites est donné comme exemple.

Evidence of blockage of PtH offretite channels by platinum crystallites

The introduction of platinum in a protonic offretite causes a decrease of its activity for m-xylene isomerization and an increase of its constraint index. This is due to the blockage of the offretite channels by small platinum crystallites (<8 Å), as confirmed by the study of m-xylene adsorption.

An X-ray powder diffraction study of the above compound was also undertaken. It is assumed that dimethylammonium aluminium sulphate hexahydrate and dimethylammonium chromium sulphate hexahydrate are isostructural. The mechanism of thermal decomposition of these double salts is also suggested.
