Conversion of toluene on NiNaY and CeNaY zeolites

Ce–Y and Ni–Y zeolites were studied in the toluen conversion reaction before and after poisoning the acid centers by Na⁺ ions. It has been found that both Ce–Y and Ni–Y zeolites were active in the disproportionation of toluene at elevated pressures, which occur on strong Brönsted acid centers. The poisoning of the acid centers in Ni–Y zeolite led to the appearance of the activity of metallic Ni and complete change in the selectivity.

Structure of Pt/ZnAl2O4 catalysts

The effect of the support preparation technique (solgel and coprecipitation) on the final Pt/ZnAl₂O₄ catalyst is presented. The structural properties of the solids obtained are correlated to the selectivity and activity for isobutane dehydrogenation in H₂ and He reaction media. If a highly dispersed catalyst is suitable, the support has to be prepared by the sol-gel method.

Thermal stability and phase transformations in a commercial vanadia-molybdena alkali-promoted catalyst

Temperature-programmed decomposition, thermal analysis, thermogravimetry and high-temperature X-ray analysis have been used to investigate a commercial catalyst for the selective oxidation of benzene into maleic anhydride. It was shown that phase transformations took place in the vanadia-molybdena alkali-promoted catalyst. The transformations were caused either by high-temperature treatment or by catalytic work in an industrial plant. As a result, the-bronze phase was formed. In the high-temperature region a reversible transformation of the bronze phase was observed. This was interpreted as the phase transformation.

Zusammenfassung Temperaturprogrammierte Zersetzung, Thermoanalyse, Thermogravimetrie und Hochtemperatur-Röntgenanalyse wurden zur Untersuchung eines kommerziellen Katalysators für die selektive Oxydation von Benzol zu Maleinsäure herangezogen. Es wird gezeigt, daß in dem einen Alkalipromotor enthaltenden Vanadinoxid-Molybdänoxid-Katalysator Phasenübergänge vor sich gehen. Die Phasenübergänge, als deren Ergebnis eine-Bronzephase gebildet wird, wurden entweder durch Hochtemperaturbehandlung oder durch sich in einer industriellen Anlage während des Betriebes abspielenden Vorgänge verursacht. Im Bereich hoher Temperaturen wurde eine reversible Umwandlung der Bronzephase beobachtet, die als Phasenübergang interpretiert wurde.

The phase diagram of the Ce-Sn System up to 50 AT.% Sn

The phase diagram of the Ce-Sn system was investigated in the 0–50 percent tin composition range, using differential thermal, X-ray and metallographic analyses. Four intermediate phases were found in this range: Ce₃Sn (940 °C), Ce₅Sn₃ (1505 °C), Ce₅Sn₄ (1510 °C) and Ce₁₁Sn₁₀ ( 1400 °C). One of them melts congruently: Ce₅Sn₄.A eutectic and a eutectoid equilibrium were found at 725 °C, 4 at.% Sn and 690 °C, 2 at.% Sn, respectively.The undercooling effects of the high temperature phases (53, 54 and 1110) are pointed out. A slight solid state solubility was found for the Ce₅Sn₃ phase.

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.

Kinetics of edta catalyzed oxidation of I? by Cr(VI)

The activity of various iron-containing ore catalysts during hydrogenation of Kansk-Achinsk lignite into liquid products in H-donor solvent (tetraline) has been studied. Ore samples contained pyrite, hematite and magnetite minerals. The most active appear to be pyrite samples. The catalytic effect of ore systems is, apparently, associated with the fact that during hydrogenation more active than tetraline H-donors are formed due to the hydrogenation of polycyclic aromatic molecules produced by thermal destruction of lignite.

Transverse photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) applied to thermal diffusiyity measurements

Transverse photothermal deflection spectroscopy(PDS) is applied for the determination of thermal diffusivities of solid surfaces. The theory of PDS is briefly recalled and some approximated analytical formulae concerning the transverse configuration are derived. In materials where the thermal diffusivity is smaller than that of the air, the dependence of the deflection angle on the displacement between pump and probe beams is shown to have a minimum that relates to the thermal diffusivity, thereby allowing its straightforward measurement. Measurements carried out on Al₂O₃ samples with different porosities at room temperature show a good agreement between experiment and theory.

Zusammenfassung Die transverse photothermische Reflektionsspektroskopie (PDS) wird zur Bestimmung der thermischen Diffusivität von festen Oberflächen herangezogen. Die Theorie der PDS wird kurz dargelegt und einige sich auf die transverse Konfiguration beziehenden analytischen Näherungsgleichungen abgeleitet. Es wird gezeigt, daß bei Materialien mit kleinerer thermischer Diffusivität als Luft die Abhängigkeit des Deflektionswinkels von der Ablenkung zwischen Pumpen- und Probenstrahl ein Minimum aufweist, das mit der thermischen Diffusivität im Zusammenhang steht und somit deren zuverlässige Messung ermöglicht. An Al₂O₃-Proben unterschiedlicher Porosität bei Raumtemperatur ausgeführte Messungen zeigen gute Übereinstimmung von Experiment und Theorie.

Kinetics and mechanism of OsO4 catalyzed oxidation of chalcones by Ce4 in aqueous acetic sulfuric acid media

Kinetics of OsO₄ catalyzed oxidation of chalcones by Ce⁴⁺ has been studied in aqueous acetic-sulfuric acid medium in the temperature range 313 to 338 K. The order in [oxidant] is zero while the order with respect to [substrate] and [catalyst] are each fractional. The rate of the reaction decreased with increase in percentage of acetic acid while [H⁺] had practically no effect on the rate The rates of various substituted chalcones (with substituents in the phenyl. ring attached to the moiety) are in the orderp-CH₃>m-CH₃>H>p-Cl>m-Cl>m-NO₂>p-NO₂. A mechanism in which formation of a cyclic ester between chalcone and OsO₄ in a fast step followed by its decomposition in a rate-determining step is envisaged.

Monohalogenobenzoylhydrazones VI. New antimony(III) complexes with monochlorobenzoylhydrazones of 2-furaldehyde, 2-pyrrolaldehyde and 2-thiophenaldehyde as ligands

The antimony(III) trihalides, SbX₃ (X=Cl, Br and I), react with the title ligands to give the compounds SbX₃L, where L=benzoyl- and monochlorobenzoylhydrazones of 2-furaldehyde (FBHH and FClBHH), 2-pyrrolaldehyde (PBHH and PClBHH) and 2-thiophenaldehyde (TBHH and TClBHH). The characterization of the new species was based on their elemental analyses, spectral data (IR and UV-Vis) and thermal studies. The ligands appear to offer two coordination sites (the carbonyl and azomethine groups) and perhaps a third one (the heteroatom of the heterocyclic ring). The thermal decompositions of the studied complexes proceed via one or three stages, the number of stages depending on the nature of both the hydrazones and the halogens. The structures proposed for the investigated complexes are either pseudo- or distorted octahedral.

Zwei Koordinationsstellen scheinen von den Liganden bevorzugt zu sein: die Carbonylund die Azomethingruppe. Eine dritte könnte das Heteroatom des heterocyclischen Ringes sein. Die thermische Zersetzung der untersuchten Komplexe vollzieht sich in Abhängigkeit von der Natur der Hydrazone und der Halogene in einem oder in drei Schritten. Als Struktur für die untersuchten Komplexe wird eine pseudo-oder verzerrte oktaedrische Struktur vorgeschlagen.

Thermal behaviour of trimethoxy silane modified alkyl methacrylates

The paper deals with the thermal behaviour of trimethoxy silane (MTS) modified ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and butyl methacrylate (BMA). Several copolymer samples were prepared by varying the molar ratio of MTS with respect to EMA or BMA. The copolymerisation was carried out at 78 °C for 120 min using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. Incorporation of MTS in alkyl methacrylates resulted in an increase in thermal stability. Hydrolytic cross-linking of copolymer having higher mole fraction of MTS gave a cross-linked product with better thermal stability.

Unter Anwendung verschiedener Molverhältnisse von MTS und EMA bzw. BMA wurden einige Kopolymerproben hergestellt. Die Kopolymerisation wurde 120 Minuten lang bei 78 °C und mit Benzoylperpxid als Initiator durchgeführt. Der Einbau von MTS in Alkylmethakrylate führt zu einer Steigerung der thermischen Stabilität. Eine hydrolytische Vernetzung der Kopolymere mit größeren Molanteilen an MTS ergeben vernetzte Produkte mit verbesserter thermischer Stabilität.
