甲烷在SrO－La_2O_3／CaO催化剂上的氧化偶联──IV．热点温度效应和反应气中添加CO_2的影响

研究了甲烷在ＬＣ和ＳＬＣ催化剂体系上氧化偶联反应过程的热效应现象和反应气中添加ＣＯ２对催化剂反应行为的影响．在不使用稀释气的情况下，当反应温度由８７３升至９２３Ｋ时，反应活性存在一个突变点．这主要是由ＣＨ４燃烧反应放出大量热使催化剂床层的局部温度很高，形成一个局部过热区，因此引发甲烷氧化偶联．此即所谓热点温度效应，它严重影响催化剂活性评价结果的可靠性和重复性．在反应气中添加ＣＯ２对ＬＣ几乎无影响；由于ＳＬＣ中各组分与ＣＯ２作用生成碳酸盐，使催化剂表面氧浓度显著减少，导致催化剂的反应活性大大降低和严重失活．     

有机膦配位催化剂的结构与活性关系 Ⅶ．碱性添加剂作用的原位红外光谱研究

本文报导了应用加压原位红外光谱技术考察ＫＯＨ添加剂对钴－膦催化剂平衡系统的组成及催化活性物种的影响．结果表明，羧酸钴─三烷基膦组成的二元体系催化剂在烯烃氢甲酰化条件下生成了游离的羧酸使烯烃异构化副反应增加．添加适量的ＫＯＨ，组成钴－膦－钾三元体系催化剂，中和了部分游离羧酸，使烯烃异构化副反应显著减少．但是ＫＯＨ过量时，在催化剂平衡体系中生成较多的非活性的［Ｃｏ（ＣＯ）_４］－离子，使催化活性物种ＨＣｏ（ＣＯ）_３Ｌ的浓度明显减少．从而降低了高碳醇的生成速度．     

锆改性钴基费-托合成催化剂催化性能的研究

 考察了助剂锆和金属钴负载量对锆改性Co／Al2O3催化剂催化性能的影响．结果表明，锆助剂能够高度分散在氧化铝载体上，而活性组分钴以一定尺寸存在；锆的添加能够明显地提高Co／Al2O3催化剂的催化活性和C5＋烃选择性，但助剂锆含量对催化剂催化性能的影响不大；在锆存在下，催化剂的催化活性随金属钴含量先升高后降低．进一步的研究表明，催化剂上烃形成速率的提高可能是由于锆助剂能够增加催化剂的活性位数目，增强桥式CO吸附的强度，在Co－ZrO2间形成界面．

 制备了一系列用NaCl修饰的Cu／SiO2催化剂，考察了它们对丙烯在空气中直接环氧化反应的催化性能，并利用TPR表征手段对催化剂的活性中心进行了初步探讨．在最佳反应条件下，丙烯转化率为0．16％，环氧丙烷选择性达到44％．在反应气中加入氢后，环氧丙烷的选择性显著提高，并且催化剂稳定性大大增强．反应结果表明，还原态的低价铜可能是催化剂的活性中心，NaCl与铜离子结合而生成新物种可能在催化反应过程中起到关键作用．     

锆和铪的火焰原子吸收光谱分析特性

火焰原子吸收测定锆和铪需要用高温一氧化二氮-乙炔富燃火焰。Amos和Willis,Bond等人及Sastri等人研究过锆和铪的火焰原子吸收测定,发现氟化物、三价铁、含氮化合物有增感效应,并利用这种效应拟定了间接测定氟离子和氨的方法。Panday较系统地考察过各种共存元素对锆、铪、钛的原子吸收测定的干扰。本文在上述工作的基础上,探讨大量铪或者锆存在下,火焰原子吸收测定少量锆或铪的可能性。

Determination of hafnium by neutron activation, and variation in the Zr/Hf ratio of some granite masses

A fairly quick method for the separation of hafnium from irradiated rock samples is described and results of the hafnium determinations are reported. The distribution of zirconium and hafnium and the variation of the Zr/Hf ratio in three calc-alkali granite masses are discussed. Reasons are suggested for the observed decrease in the Zr/Hf ratio during the crystallization of igneous rocks.     

Group IV imino-semiquinone complexes obtained by oxidative addition of halogens

An isostructural series of titanium, zirconium, and hafnium complexes, M[ap] 2L 2 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf; L = THF, pyridine), of the redox-active 4,6-di- tert-butyl-2- tert-butylamidophenolate ligand ([ap] (2-)) have been prepared. The zirconium and hafnium derivatives react readily with halogen oxidants such as XeF 2, PhICl 2, and Br 2, leading to products in which one-electron oxidation of each [ap] (2-) ligand accompanies halide addition to the metal center. Iodine proved to be too weak of an oxidant to yield the corresponding oxidative addition product, and under no conditions could halogen oxidative addition products be obtained for titanium. According to X-ray crystallographic studies, the zirconium and hafnium oxidation products are best formulated as MX 2[isq.] 2 ([isq.] (-) = 4,6-di- tert-butyl-2- tert-butylimino-semiquinonate; M = Zr, Hf; X = F, Cl, Br) species, in which the molecule is symmetric with each redox-active ligand in the semiquinone oxidation state. Temperature-dependent magnetization measurements suggest a singlet ( S = 0) ground-state for the diradical complexes with a thermally accessible triplet ( S = 1) excited state. Solution electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra are consistent with this assignment, showing both Delta m s = 1 and Delta m s = 2 transitions for the antiferromagnetically coupled electrons.     

Behavior of zirconium and hafnium ions in ultramicroconcentrations investigated by horizontal zone electrophoresis in free electrolyte*

The electrophoresis of zirconium and hafnium ions in aqueous solutions was investigated. No-carrier-added ⁸⁸Zr and ¹⁷⁵Hf have been used in microconcentrations (10^-11M). The complexation of zirconium and hafnium with DTPA has been investigated in a large pH interval. The stability constants of the Zr-DTPA and Hf-DTPA complexes were determined for the first time by the method of horizontal zone electrophoresis in free electrolyte. The electrophoretic behavior of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) ions in nitric acid solutions has also been studied.     

Concentration, separation and determination of scandium, zirconium, hafnium and thorium with a silica-based sulphonic acid cation-exchanger

A study has been made of the dependence of the sorption of scandium, zirconium, hafnium and thorium from aqueous solutions with a silica-based sulphonic cation-exchanger (SCE-SiO(2)) on the concentration and nature of the acid medium, time of contact, concentration of the element, and the ionic strength. The selectivity decreases in the order Zr approximately Hf > Th > Sc > Fe(III). The sorption characteristics of silica gel and SCE-SiO(2) have been compared, and the sorption mechanism is discussed. The SCE-SiO(2) exchanger has been used for 100-fold concentration of scandium, zirconium, hafnium and thorium from their 10(-8)-10(-7) M solutions, and a spectrophotometric method has been developed for their determination with a detection limit of 0.5 ng/ml for Zr and Sc and 0.1 ng/ml for Hf and Th. Zirconium and hafnium have been determined in the solvent phase by X-ray fluorescence and atomic-emission methods.     

Synthesis and catalysis of di- and tetranuclear metal sandwich-type silicotungstates [(gamma-SiW10O36)2M2(mu-OH)2]10- and [(gamma-SiW10O36)2M4(mu4-O)(mu-OH)6]8- (M = Zr or Hf)

The di- and tetranuclear metal sandwich-type silicotungstates of Cs10[(gamma-SiW10O36)2{Zr(H2O)}2(mu-OH)2] x 18 H2O (Zr2, monoclinic, C2/c (No. 15), a = 25.3315(8) A, b = 22.6699(7) A, c = 18.5533(6) A, beta = 123.9000(12) degrees, V = 8843.3(5) A(3), Z = 4), Cs10[(gamma-SiW10O36)2{Hf(H2O)}2(mu-OH)2] x 17 H2O (Hf2, monoclinic, space group C2/c (No. 15), a = 25.3847(16) A, b = 22.6121(14) A, c = 18.8703(11) A, beta = 124.046(3) degrees, V = 8974.9(9) A(3), Z = 4), Cs8[(gamma-SiW10O36)2{Zr(H2O)}4(mu4-O)(mu-OH)6] x 26 H2O (Zr4, tetragonal, P4(1)2(1)2 (No. 92), a = 12.67370(10) A, c = 61.6213(8) A, V = 9897.78(17) A(3), Z = 4), and Cs8[(gamma-SiW10O36)2{Hf(H2O)}4(mu4-O)(mu-OH)6] x 23 H2O (Hf4, tetragonal, P4(1)2(1)2 (No. 92), a = 12.68130(10) A, c = 61.5483(9) A, V = 9897.91(18) A(3), Z = 4) were obtained as single crystals suitable for X-ray crystallographic analyses by the reaction of a dilacunary gamma-Keggin silicotungstate K8[gamma-SiW10O36] with ZrOCl2 x 8 H2O or HfOCl2 x 8 H2O. These dimeric polyoxometalates consisted of two [gamma-SiW10O36](8-) units sandwiching metal-oxygen clusters such as [M2(mu-OH)2](6+) and [M4(mu4-O)(mu-OH)6](8+) (M = Zr or Hf). The dinuclear zirconium and hafnium complexes Zr2 and Hf2 were isostructural. The equatorially placed two metal atoms in Zr2 and Hf2 were linked by two mu-OH ligands and each metal was bound to four oxygen atoms of two [gamma-SiW10O36](8-) units. The tertanuclear zirconium and hafnium complexes Zr4 and Hf4 were isostructural and consisted of the adamantanoid cages with a tetracoordinated oxygen atom in the middle, [M4(mu4-O)(mu-OH)6](8+) (M = Zr or Hf). Each metal atom in Zr4 and Hf4 was linked by three mu-OH ligands and bound to two oxygen atoms of the [gamma-SiW10O36](8-) unit. The tetra-nuclear zirconium and hafnium complexes showed catalytic activity for the intramolecular cyclization of (+)-citronellal to isopulegols without formation of byproducts resulting from etherification and dehydration. A lacunary silicotungstate [gamma-SiW10O34(H2O)2](4-) was inactive, and the isomer ratio of isopulegols in the presence of MOCl2 x 8 H2O (M = Zr or Hf) were much different from that in the presence of tetranuclear complexes, suggesting that the [M4(mu4-O)(mu-OH)6](8+) core incorporated into the POM frameworks acts as an active site for the present cyclization. On the other hand, the reaction hardly proceeded in the presence of dinuclear zirconium and hafnium complexes under the same conditions. The much less activity is possibly explained by the steric repulsion from the POM frameworks in the dinuclear complexes.     

Solvent extraction separation of hafnium with 4-methyl-3-pentene-2-one

A new method for the extractive separation of hafnium from zirconium is presented. Zirconium is extracted with pure mesityl oxide from 4M nitric acid/4M sodium nitrate medium, followed by extraction of hafnium with mesityl oxide from 0.4M hydrochloric acid/2M ammonium thiocyanate medium. It is possible to accomplish clean separations of Hf from Zr in ratios from 1:20 to 1:200. The separation of hafnium from commonly associated elements such as scandium, yttrium, uranium, thorium, alkali and alkaline earth metals in 500:1 weight ratio to hafnium is also possible.     

Oxygen-release/storage properties of Ce0.5M0.5O2 (M = Zr, Hf) oxides: interplay of crystal chemistry and electronic structure

Fluorite-type Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 and Ce0.5Hf0.5O2 have been synthesized by a solution combustion route, and their oxygen release and reduction have been investigated up to 850 degrees C. On reduction, the zirconium system forms two pyrochlore phases, Ce2Zr2O7 (pyrochlore-I) and Ce2Zr2O6.2 (pyrochlore-II), while the hafnium system forms only a disordered fluorite phase with the composition Ce0.5Hf0.5O1.77, under the same experimental conditions. The crystal structures of the reduction products have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement, and their electronic structures have been investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy and electrical conductivity measurements. Pyrochlore-I (a = 10.6727(4) A) is a semiconductor, while pyrochlore-II (a = 10.6463(8) A) is a good conductor (with a nearly temperature independent resistivity of approximately 2.5 ohm.cm in the 400-1000 K range). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows an admixture of Ce(5d,6s) with Zr(4d) and O(2p) and a significant density of states near EF in the highly reduced pyrochlore-II phase. The changes have been rationalized in terms of a qualitative energy band scheme that brings out the special role of zirconium vis-à-vis hafnium in the reduction/oxygen release properties of Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 and Ce0.5Hf0.5O2.     

National intercomparison exercise, ZH-A for the measurement of hafnium and zirconium in zirconium ores

Summary A national intercomparison exercise was conducted to remove inconsistencies and improve analytical procedures in the measurement of hafnium and zirconium in zirconium ores. The ZH-A series of reference samples, prepared at the Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (PINSTECH), were used for this purpose. It was observed that measurement errors decreased with increasing Hf concentration (~298-17500 ppm) for most techniques, especially for AAS due to the sample preparation procedure required for this technique. Of all the tested techniques most reliable results were obtained with neutron activation analysis (NAA) for the measurement of Hf and Zr in such matrices.     

Extraction and separation of zirconium from hafnium by using nano-structured supramolecular solvent microextraction method

In the present study, a simple versatile extraction method based on supramolecular solvent microextraction followed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry was developed for the extraction, separation and determination of zirconium (Zr) from hafnium (Hf). Zr and Hf were complexed with bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid, to obtain hydrophobic complex, and extracted into supramolecular solvent phase. The effective parameters on the supramolecular solvent microextraction efficiency were studied and optimized by using two different optimization methods: one variable at a time and central composite design. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range of 0.3–200.0 and 2.0–200.0 µg L^?1, detection limits (S/N = 3) of 0.1 and 0.6 µg L^?1, and precisions (n = 5) of 3.2–4.9% and 3.0–5.1% were obtained for Zr and Hf, respectively. Finally, the proposed method has been successfully applied for the extraction and separation of these cations in zirconium ore sample.     

Analysis of mixtures of hafnium and zirconium by the methylthymol blue-hydrogen peroxide method

The reaction of hydrogen peroxide with the zirconium(IV) and hafnium(IV) Methylthymol Blue complexes (MeMTB) has been investigated. The conditional stability constants of the Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) complexes with hydrogen peroxide [K'(Me(H(2)O(2)))] were determined spectrophotometrically. The K'(Me(H(2)O(2))) values found, which depend on the acidity, are 3.91 x 10(2) 3.24 x 10(2), 2.63 x 10(2) at [HCl] = 0.2, 0.3, 1.0M respectively for Me = Zr(IV) and 0.828, 0.523, 0.319 for Me = Hf(IV). The ratios of the conditional stability constants, K'(Me(H(2)O(2)))/ K'(MeMTB), are: 5.52 x 10(-4), 5.79 x 10(-4), 8.23 x 10(-4) for Me = Zr(IV) and 2.08 x 10(-6), 2.74 x 10(-6), 1.48 x 10 (-5) for Me = Hf(IV) at the three acidities. The maximum of the ratio of the relative conditional stability constants is obtained in 0.2M hydrochloric acid. The conditions which should be complied with for the determination of hafnium in the presence of zirconium are discussed. The results were compared with those obtained by the Xylenol Orange-hydrochloric acid method. They are superior for samples containing less than 20 mole% of hafnium in admixture with zirconium.
