Activation of magnesia by hydrogen spillover

Magnesia aerogel activated by hydrogen spillover at 430 °C or at 200 °C becomes a catalyst for the hydrogenation of ethylene. This catalytic activity, observed already at 50 °C, is further enhanced by a treatment in oxygen at 430 °C.

Thermogravimetry of copper and copper oxides (Cu2O-CuO)

The thermogravimetry of mixtures of metallic copper and copper oxides was studied. The experiments were performed by heating the samples in air to 700–800° to transform all the components to copper(II) oxide, and continuing the heating in nitrogen to 1050–1100° when the dissociation of copper(II) oxide to copper(I) oxide is complete. The identification of the components and their quantitative determination were carried out by determining the shape, size, and ratio of the segments of the curves obtained during the heating. The method can be used for quantitative analysis of mixtures of copper and/or copper oxides.

Zusammenfassung Gemische von metallischem Kupfer und Kupferoxiden wurden thermogravimetrisch untersucht. Zur Überführung aller Komponenten in Kupfer(II)-oxid erhitzte man sie in Luft auf 700–800°, um daraufhin bis zur vollständigen Dissoziation des Kupfer-(II)-oxids zu Kupfer(I)-oxid unter Stickstoff die Temperatur bis auf 1050–1100° zu steigern. Die Identifizierung der Komponenten und ihre quantitative Bestimmung erfolgten durch die Form, Größe und die Verhältnisse der verschiedenen Abschnitte der erhaltenen Kurven. Diese Methode ist zur quantitativen Bestimmung von Gemischen aus Kupfer und Kupferoxid sowie von Kupferoxiden geeignet.

Résumé Étude thermogravimétrique de mélanges du cuivre métallique et d'oxydes de cuivre. Les échantillons sont d'abord chauffés dans l'air jusqu'à 700–800° jusqu'à ce que tous les constituants soient transformés en oxyde de cuivre(II); le chauffage est ensuite poursuivi dans l'azote jusqu'à 1010–1100°, où la dissociation de l'oxyde de cuivre(II) en oxyde de cuivre(I) est complète. Les constituants ont été identifiés et dosés en utilisant la forme, la dimension et les proportions des différentes parties des courbes pendant le chauffage. La méthode peut être utilisée pour l'analyse quantitative de mélanges de cuivre et ou d'oxydes de cuivre.

Effect of magnetic order on the conductivity in Co-Zn ferrites

A series of samples in the system Co_1–xZn_xFe₂O₄ (x=0.3, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1) were prepared by the usual ceramic technique. The D. C. electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power were measured in the temperature range from room temperature up to about 600 K. Transition from the ferrimagnetic region to the paramagnetic region is accompanied by an increase in the activation energy by an amountE, which varies in the range 0.052–0.090 eV. The large values ofE obtained may be due to the fairly strong B-B exchange interaction in Co-Zn ferrites.

Zusammenfassung Mittels üblicher Keramiktechniken wurden Proben des Systemes Co₁–xZn_xFe₂O₄ unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung (x=0,3, 0,4, 0,6, 0,8, 1,0) dargestellt. Im Temperaturbereich Raumtemperatur-600 K wurde der elektrische Widerstand gegenüber Gleichstrom sowie die Thermospannung dieser Proben ermittelt. Der Übergang von der ferrimagnetischen zur paramagnetischen Region wird von einem Anwachsen der Aktivierungsenergie um den BetragE=0,052–0,090 eV begleitet. Den so erhaltenen grossen E-Werten liegen wahrscheinlich die ziemlich starken B-B Austausch Wechselwirkungen in Co-Zn Ferriten zu Grunde.

Quantitative parameters by thermoanalytical methods

The conditions and premises of the kinetic evaluation of thermoanalytical curves on the basis of chemical kinetics are demonstrated, and the limits of their availability are pointed out. For reactions with an unclear structural and chemical course, some appropriate definitions of terms are proposed.The possibilities of the use of the inflection points of the reaction rate versus time curve are presented. New methods of determination of kinetic parameters are described, including the ratio of the degrees of reactionx, the ratio of the reaction ratesx and the ratio of the tangent slopesx at these points.

Studies of Cu?Ni supported catalysts for enantioselective hydrogenation

The effect of support content and composition of supported metal phase on the crystallite size, phase composition and catalytic properties of supported Ni and Cu–Ni catalysts has been investigated. It has been established that with increasing metal content, crystallite sizes and enantioselectivity increase. Copper added to Ni catalysts decreases metal phase dispersity and enantioselectivity.

Analysis of thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium

Thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium have been analyzed in terms of models accounting for the effect of lateral interactions between adsorbed particles and of their diffusion into the bulk of metal on the desorption kinetics of O₂. Complex configuration of these spectra is ascribed to the processes of formation/decomposition of surface Rh oxides and the diffusion of particles into the near-surface layers of metal and back to the surface.

Dioxygen evolution from aqueous acid solutions of ruthenium complexes with nitrogen-containing ligands

Some peculiarities of reduction of one-electron oxidants, Ru(bpy) ₃ ³⁺ and Ru(bpy)₂(py) ₂ ³⁺ , in the absence of catalysts (when oxidation of the oxidant's ligands occurs) and in their presence (when also oxidation of water to dioxygen occurs) are discussed. Both oxidation reactions are thought to have a common intermediate.

Supported Ni-Pd/SiO₂ catalysts of different Ni and Pd composition were studied in n-butane hydrogenolysis. The reaction rate, selectivity towards methane, ethane and propane were determined. On the basis of these data the relationship between the size and composition of the active center and the possibility of surface segregation of one of the components is discussed.
