Kinetics of C2H4 polymerization on reduced V2O5/Al2O3 catalyst

Kinetic study of C₂H₄ polymerization on reduced V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ catalysts revealed that the rate equation can be expressed as V=k exp (-Y) K_aP_E/(1+K_aP_E) in the temperature range of –20 to 70°C. The deactivation constant, , was found to have a close relation with the yield and molecular weight of the polymer. C₂H₄ V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ –20 +70°C : V_p=k·exp(-Y_p)·K_aP_e/(1+K_aP_e). .     

Thermodynamic studies of clathrate hydrates

Thermodynamic studies of clathrate hydrates, mainly of structures I and II, are considered in this review which is based on 147 references. There are two main subjects. The first is the host lattice energy and the guest-host interaction energy, both of these quantities being related to the enthalpy of dissociation and composition of the hydrates. The second subject concerns orientational ordering phenomena occurring in both host and guest, as reflected in the low temperature heat capacity. The classical theoretical treatment of clathrate formation has been reconsidered on the basis of recent experimental results. Particular emphasis has been given to orientational ordering since this topic is undoubtedly central to clarifying the nature of clathrate hydrates.Ausgehend von 147 Literaturangaben wurden in diesem Review thermodynamische Untersuchungen von Klathrathydraten hauptsächlich der Struktur I und II betrachtet. Es gibt zwei Hauptaugenmerke. Als erstes die Wirtsgitterenergie und die Gast-Wirt-Wechselwirkungsenergie, beide bezogen auf die Dissoziationsenthalpie und die Bildungsenthalpie der Hydrate. Das zweite Hauptaugenmerk betrifft Orientierungs-Konditionierungserscheinungen sowohl in Wirt als auch Gast, wie in den Wärmekapazitäten bei niedrigen Temperaturen widergespiegelt wird. Auf der Basis jüngster experimenteller Ergebnisse wurde die klassische theoretische Betrachtung über die Bildung von Klathraten überprüft. Der Orientierung-Konditionierung wurde besonderer Nachdruck verliehen, da dies zweifellos eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Klärung der Natur der Klathrathydrate spielt. 147 I II. . «» « — », . «» « », . . , .

TPD of ammonia from H-ZSM-5 zeolites deactivated during coupled methanol hydrocarbon cracking (CMHC)

The deactivation of H-ZSM-5 zeolite samples during coupled methanol/hydrocarbon cracking (CMHC) with n-butane as feed has been investigated in two different reaction modes (with intermediate regeneration and without regeneration). TPDA was used to characterize strong Brönsted acidity of fresh, regenerated and steamed H-ZSM-5 zeolite. The prevention of dealumination by blocking the acid centers with carbonaceous products could be proved, but the conversion rate of n-butane and the olefin selectivity declined drastically with increasing coking rate.

Charge monotonicity of atomic systems and radial expectation values

A functionf(r) is monotone of orderp if itspth-derivativef ^(p)(r) fulfils that (–1) ^p f ^(p)(r)0. So, e.g. the monotonicity properties of orderp=0, 1, 2 describe the non-negativity (p=0), the monotonic decreasing from the origin (p=1) and the convexity (p=2) of the function, respectively. Here, the monotonicity properties of the electron functiong _n (r; )=(–1) ^{n (n)} (r)r ^– , 0, of the ground state of atomic systems are analysed both analytically and numerically. The symbol (r) denotes the spherically averaged electron density. First of all, the condition which specifies, if exists, a value _np such thatg _n (r; _np ) be monotone of orderp is obtained. In particular, it is found that ₀₁=max {r(r)/(r)}, ₀₂=max {q ₀(r)}, ₁₁=max {r(r)/(r)} and ₁₂=max {q ₁(r)}, whereq ₀(r) andq ₁(r) are simple combinations of the first few derivatives of (r). Secondly, numerical calculations of the first few values _np in a Hartree-Fock framework for all ground-state atoms with nuclear chargeZ54 are performed. In doing so, the pioneering work of Weinstein, Politzer and Srebrenik about the monotonically decreasing behavior of (r) is considerably extended. Also, it is found that Hydrogen and Helium are the only two atoms having the functions (r), –(r) and (r) with the property of convexity. Thirdly, it is analytically shown that the charge functionr ^– (r) with [(1+4Z ²/I)^1/2–1]/2, I being the first ionization potential, is convex everywhere. Finally, the above mentioned monotonicity properties are used to obtain rigorous, simple and universal inequalities involving three radial expectation values which generalize all the similar ones known up to now. These inequalities allow to correlate various statical and dynamical quantities of the atomic system under study, due to the physical meaning of the radial expectation values. It is worth to remember that some of these expectation values may be experimentally measured in experiments of (e, 2e)-type.     

Chemisorptive characterization of Mn2+ cation effects on fused iron-catalysts

Volumetric and pulse chemisorptions of carbon monoxide (CO) have been developed to characterize effects of Mn²⁺ cations on an industrial doubly promoted fused iron catalyst. Addition of Mn²⁺ cations induces an increase in Fe dispersity, Fe electronic density and stability of the Mn²⁺-containing iron catalyst, where the same increase is observed by XPS and SEM. These effects explain why the activity of Mn²⁺-containing iron catalysts is improved. Mn²⁺ , . Mn²⁺ Fe, Fe , XPS SEM. . Mn²⁺ .

Some observations of HZSM-5 zeolite dehydroxylation

The dehydroxylation of 3610 cm^–1 OH groups in HZSM-5 zeolite and in two Ni and Mo modified catalysts containing the same zeolite has been studied at 673 K. The presence of water vapor is a necessary condition of dehydroxylation, the extent of which depends on the number and duration of breaks consisting in cooling to room temperature and reheating to 673 K with evacuation.

Investigations of 2,3′-biquinolyl. 9. Reaction of 1′,4′-dihydro-2,3′-biquinolyl with organolithium compounds

The 1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyl reacts with organolithium compounds to form the mixture of 4-R-1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls and 2-R-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls in the ratio analogous to the conversion in the series of 2,3-biquinolyl. The utilization of the complex, the organolithium compound-TMEDA, in this process leads, after treatment of the reaction mixture with water, exclusively to 2-R-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls. Treatment with methyl iodide leads to 1-methyl-2-R-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls.

Oscillatory reactions of sakhalin oil oxidation

After light irradiation of oil films on water surface the autoxidation process has been found to be of nonsteady auto-oscillatory character, which can be observed in rate oscillations of O₂ absorption. Also recorded have been intensity oscillations of the EPR signal from the radical counter added into an oil sample. Complex dynamics of autoxidation can be due to an autocatalytic process involving the participation of peroxides accumulated in oil during photooxidation., , , , O₂. , , . , , .
