Reaction scheme in the non-isothermal decomposition of (C6H5NH3)4Mo8O26 · 2 H2O

The thermogravimetric decomposition of anilinum octamolybdate has been studied under non-isothermal conditions to elucidate the chemical reactions taking place in the first step of decomposition of the anhydrous compound.The decomposition products were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction.The main decomposition product of aniline turned out to be indole, which is different from the major product in the isothermal decomposition at the same temperature, i.e. N-ethyl-aniline.A dehydrocyclization reaction is suggested as the rate-dependent process. This is probably due to the catalytic effect of the octamolybdate anion.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Anilinoctamolybdat wurde unter nicht-isothermen Bedingungen thermogravimetrisch untersucht, um die im ersten Zersetzungsschritt der wasserfreien Verbindung verlaufenden chemischen Reaktionen aufzuklären. Die Zersetzungsprodukte wurden mittels Gas-Flüssigkeits-Chromatographie, Gaschromatographie-Massenspektrometrie (GC/MS), Infrarotspektroskopie und Röntgendiffraktometrie analysiert. Als Hauptprodukt der Zersetzung von Anilin wurde Indol gefunden, während bei isothermer Zersetzung bei gleicher Temperatur vorwiegend N-Äthylanilin entsteht. Es wird angenommen, daß beim nicht-isothermen Prozeß eine wahrscheinlich durch das Octamolybdat katalysierte Dehydrocyclisierungsreaktion verläuft.

Acid strength distributions in the Mo?Al?Si and the Ni?Mo?Al oxide systems determined by ammonia adsorption

Acid strength distributions of Mo–Al–Si and Ni–Mo–Al oxide systems have been found by means of a relationship that gives pK_a values from amounts of ammonia adsorption. Molybdenum is suggested to cause a homogenization in the acid strength distribution of alumina but a heterogenization in silicaalumina, whereas nickel is found to neutralize strong acid sites inherent to molybdenum.

Effect of nickel on the hydrogenating activity of MoS2

The activating effect of nickel on MoS₂ impregnated with an aqueous solution of Ni(CH₃COO)₂ and sulfided has been established to be proportional to the amount of active nickel incorporated as Ni²⁺ cations in the MoS₂ lattice. MoS₂ capacity for active nickel is limited and determined by the preparation method of the parent MoS₂.

Free radical additions to the C=O bond of formaldehyde

The reactions between formaldehyde and n-propyl radicals were studied at 333 and 363 K. Addition to the C=O bond was found to be several times faster than abstraction of the formyl hydrogen atom. With a TST estimate of log(A/dm³ mol^–1 s^–1)=7.9±0.5, 28.0±2.1 kJ mol^–1 was obtained for the activation energy of the addition reaction.

Kinetics of the thermal destruction of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers,computed from thermoanalytical data

The process of thermal destruction of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers, studied in a derivatograph, proceeds in one stage, as indicated by the mass loss accompanied by a characteristic endothermic peak in the range 380–400°. The determined values of the kinetic characteristicsn, E, InA, E andT ₀ allow the conclusion that an increase in the divinylbenzene content of the monomer blend used to synthetize the divinylbenzene copolymers does not result in an increased thermal stability as compared to that of polystyrene.

Zusammenfassung Der in einem Derivatographen untersuchte thermische Zersetzungsvorgang von Styroldivinylbenzolkopolymeren verläuft in einer Phase, welche durch Massenverlust angezeigt und durch einen charakteristischen endothermen Peak im Bereich von 380 ... 400° angewiesen wird. Die ermittelten kinetischen Charakteristikan, E, lnA, E, T ₀ gestatten die Schlußfolgerung, daß die Zunahme des Divinylbenzolgehalts in dem zur Synthese der Divinylbenzolkopolymeren verwendeten Monomergemisch im Vergleich zu der des Polystyrols, keine erhöhte Thermostabilität herbeiführt.

NO adsorption on tin(IV) oxide

The adsorption of NO on SnO₂ has been studied in the temperature range from 0 to 86°C, at pressures from 0.4 to 3.5 Torr. The adsorption isotherms are described by the Freundlich equation. The rate of adsorption obeys the Roginskii-Zeldovitch equation and decreases with increasing temperature. The reduction of SnO₂ with carbon monoxide results in a drop in the adsorption rate and in the amount of adsorbed NO.

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.

Kinetics and mechanism of the decomposition of pyrite under conventional and quasi-isothermal — quasi-isobaric thermoanalytical conditions

The kinetics and mechanism of the thermal decomposition of pyrite were examined by the method of quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric thermogravimetry (Q-TG). It emerged that by means of this technique the overlapping partial processes of the complicated oxidation and decomposition reactions of pyrite can be separated and studied independently from one another. It was found that the partial reactions FeS₂=FeS +S and Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x=Fe₂O₃+SO₃ are endothermic processes taking place quasiisothermally and leading to equilibrium, while the oxidation FeS+O₂=Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x is an exothermic process which takes place in an oscillating manner in a rather broad temperature interval.

Zusammenfassung Autoren untersuchten die Kinetik und den Mechanismus der thermischen Zersetzung von Pyrit durch quasi-isotherme und quasi-isobare Thermogravimetrie (Q-TG). Es stellte sich heraus, daß sich überlagernde Teilprozesse der komplizierten Oxydations- und Zersetzungsprozesse von Pyrit mit Hilfe dieser Technik absondern und unabhängig voneinander untersuchen lassen. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Teilreaktionen FeS₂=FeS+S und Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x=Fe₂O₃+SO₃ endotherme Prozesse sind, die quasi-isotherm verlaufen und zu einem Gleichgewicht führen, während die Oxydation FeS+O₂=Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x ein exothermer Prozeß ist, der oszillierend in einem ziemlich breiten Temperaturintervall verläuft.

Influence of the chlorine content of Al2O3 on its catalytic activity and coke formation

The catalytic activities of aluminas with different chlorine contents for cumene cracking, o-xylene isomerization, n-hexane isomerization and cracking and methylcyclopentane cracking were studied. The catalytic activity and the acidity increase continuously when the chlorine content increases. Coke formation is only noticiable with methylcyclopentane, increasing with the chlorine content of the alumina.

Catalytic activity of CaO?CaF2 binary systems in the Claus reaction

Activity of CaO–CaF₂ catalysts in the Claus reaction has been studied as a function of catalyst composition and of the time of catalyst operation in the reaction. Opposite effects of low and high fluoride content on the Claus activity have been found. A new type of reducing centers is suggested to be responsible for the increase in the activity observed in the case of fluorine-rich catalysts.

Selective hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene in the liquid phase on palladium catalysts

The catalytic hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene to cyclopentene was investigated under atmospheric pressure and 20°C in liquid phase with palladium carrier catalysts. The reaction was carried out in methanol and toluene in the presence of n-octylcatechol as a polymerization inhibitor. Using 0.56% Pd/Al₂ O₃, a 100% selectivity of the hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene to cyclopentene was achieved in toluene. In methanol, the selectivity of hydrogenation was lower and a partial polymerization of cyclopentadiene took place.

Synthesis of dimethyl sulfide in the presence of zeolites

In the presence of zeolites, dimethyl sulfide is produced either through CH₃OH interaction with H₂S or via CH₃SH decomposition. In accordance with their activities, in both reactions, zeolites arrange in the same sequence: HZSMHNaY>NaXNaY. Realization of the reaction CH₃OH+H₂S is more difficult compared to methanethiol decomposition.
