Acetylene Pyrolysis in Tubular Reactor

Pyrolysis of acetylene was investigated in a tubular reactor of graphite with an internal lining of alumina. The temperature range was 850–1650 °C, and the pressure was about 0.133 bar (100 Torr). Pure acetylene and acetylene diluted with argon or hydrogen were used as feed. Carbon and hydrogen are the main products from acetylene pyrolysis particularly at higher conversion. At lower conversion of acetylene, other gas products were formed; the amount of these depended on temperature, dilution, and conversion. Benzene and vinyl acetylene are the main gas products from pyrolysis of pure acetylene below 1000 °C and at low conversion. Diacetylene increases with increasing temperature. Dilution with hydrogen changes the composition of the gas product, decreases the selectivity of vinyl acetylene and benzene, and increases the formation of methane and ethylene. Gas‐phase equilibrium may be approached between some components. The conversion of acetylene with argon dilution and low conversion was found to be of second order. Pyrolysis of pure acetylene at lower temperature and low conversion gave the rate constant k = 3.1 × 10⁹ · exp(?34.8/RT) L mol^?1 s^?1 with an activation energy of 34.8 kcal mol^?1. The initial reaction at 864 °C is a molecular formation of vinyl acetylene. The initial activation of acetylene in gas phase seems to be rate determining and of second order in acetylene. Decomposition of acetylene can take place both homogeneously and heterogeneously. Above a critical partial pressure of acetylene, the decomposition is apparently explosive with instant plugging of the reactor with carbon.     

具有多向螺旋结构的碳纳米纤维

The nanocarbonaceous material with helical structure is considered to be promising as nanocoils. Both left and right-handed helical structures normally coexist and are disordered. So far， there has been no report about double or multi-directional helical structures on an individual nanomaterial. In this paper， Multi-directional helical structures were observed in an individual carbon nanofiber during the pyrolysis of acetylene at a mixture of C₂H₂∶H₂=2∶1. It is possible to control and prepare multi-directional helical nanomaterial， and it can be used into new application area.     

Pressure-induced shift and broadening of acetylene lines in the region 6580-6600 cm-1

Highly accurate measurements of pressure shift and broadening parameters of acetylene absorption lines in the region 6580-6600 cm-1 have been performed by tunable diode laser spectroscopy (TDLS). For these purposes the three channel spectrometer with distributed-feedback diode laser, operated at 1.53 microm was used. The laser is generating pulses of 4-10 ms duration at a repetition frequency of 40 Hz. A temperature-stabilization system, using a thermoelectric cooling unit affords a temperature stability of the order of 10(-4)K in the temperature range from -15 to +50 degrees C. A three channels acquisition system ensured simultaneous real time recording of the sample gas absorption spectrum and of two spectral calibration signals (Fabry-Perot fringes and low-pressure reference lines). We have measured the pressure-induced self-shift and broadening coefficients for six lines of the R-branch in the nu1+nu3 rotation-vibration band of acetylene 12C2H2. The self-shift coefficients have been determined for these lines in the wide pressure region. A non-linear behavior of the pressure dependence of the shift was observed. The temperature exponent n of pressure-induced broadening and shift are reported.

Iron-doped carbon aerogels: novel porous substrates for direct growth of carbon nanotubes

We present the synthesis and characterization of Fe-doped carbon aerogels (CAs) and demonstrate the ability to grow carbon nanotubes directly on monoliths of these materials to afford novel carbon aerogel-carbon nanotube composites. Preparation of the Fe-doped CAs begins with the sol-gel polymerization of the potassium salt of 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid with formaldehyde, affording K+-doped gels that can then be converted to Fe2+- or Fe3+-doped gels through an ion exchange process, dried with supercritical CO2, and subsequently carbonized under an inert atmosphere. Analysis of the Fe-doped CAs by TEM, XRD, and XPS revealed that the doped iron species are reduced during carbonization to form metallic iron and iron carbide nanoparticles. The sizes and chemical composition of the reduced Fe species were related to pyrolysis temperature as well as the type of iron salt used in the ion exchange process. Raman spectroscopy and XRD analysis further reveal that, despite the presence of the Fe species, the CA framework is not significantly graphitized during pyrolysis. The Fe-doped CAs were subsequently placed in a thermal CVD reactor and exposed to a mixture of CH4 (1000 sccm), H2 (500 sccm), and C2H4 (20 sccm) at temperatures ranging from 600 to 800 degrees C for 10 min, resulting in direct growth of carbon nanotubes on the aerogel monoliths. Carbon nanotubes grown by this method appear to be multiwalled (approximately 25 nm in diameter and up to 4 microm long) and grow through a tip-growth mechanism that pushes catalytic iron particles out of the aerogel framework. The highest yield of CNTs was grown on Fe-doped CAs pyrolyzed at 800 degrees C treated at CVD temperatures of 700 degrees C.     

Photoionization Mass Spectrometric and Kinetic Modeling of Low-pressure Pyrolysis of Benzene (cited: 3)

Pyrolysis of benzene at 30 Torr was studied from 1360 K to 1820 K in this work. Synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry was employed to detect the pyroly-sis products such as radicals, isomers and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and measure their mole fraction profiles versus temperature. A low-pressure pyrolysis model of benzene was developed and validated by the experimental results. Rate of production analysis was performed to reveal the major reaction networks in both fuel decomposition and aromatic growth processes. It is concluded that benzene is mainly decomposed via H-abstraction reaction to produce phenyl and partly decomposed via unimolecular decomposition reac-tions to produce propargyl or phenyl. The decomposition process stops at the formation of acetylene and polyyne species like diacetylene and 1,3,5-hexatriyne due to their high thermal stabilities. Besides, the aromatic growth process in the low-pressure pyrolysis of benzene is concluded to initiate from benzene and phenyl, and is controlled by the even carbon growth mechanism due to the inhibited formation of C5 and C7 species which play important roles in the odd carbon growth mechanism.     

Immunoassay kit used to detect the presence of bovine material in processed foods

The Tepnel Bio Kit for the detection of beef in cooked foods was assessed to determine its validity in demonstrating if food being imported into New Zealand contains beef material. The test suffered no interference from the presence of other common nonbovine species meats accepted as food within New Zealand and it detected beef in cooked samples of mixed meats when the proportion of beef in the mixture was >2 or >1%, depending on other meat species present. The documentation supplied with the kit indicates that the specific proteins it measures in cooked beef are stable to 130 degrees C. This was confirmed in the literature when the kit was used to test meat and bone meal cooked to at least 133 degrees C. However, our results showed these proteins to be much less stable when heated to elevated temperatures in moist food under pressure, and samples containing beef ceased to be positive by the immunoassay test after being autoclaved to 121 degrees C. This suggests that the test may not be able to detect even relatively high levels of beef in low-acid canned foods, which are normally retorted under pressure to approximately 121 degrees C.     

Soot formation in isothermic pyrolysis of mixtures of various hydrocarbons

Soot formation upon the pyrolysis of binary and ternary mixtures of various hydrocarbons is studied. The experimental values of the specific surface areas S_sp of soot particles are compared to the calculated values obtained assuming that any of the hydrocarbons in the mixture are inhibitors. Analysis of the results obtained for the mixtures containing acetylene shows that, when the acetylene concentration is higher than a certain value, the nuclei of soot particles are formed from acetylene, whereas other hydrocarbons participate in

Rotational spectroscopy and molecular structure of the 1,1-difluoroethylene-acetylene complex

Fourier transform microwave, rotational spectra in the 6-21 GHz region are obtained for the complex formed between 1,1-difluoroethylene and acetylene, including the normal isotopomer and each singly substituted (13)C species along with complexes derived from commercially available isotopic varieties of acetylene (HCCD, DCCD, and H(13)C(13)CH). Although two possible planar structures are consistent with the rotational constants derived from analysis of the spectra, ab initio calculations, as well as chemical intuition, support only one of the two as the structure of the complex. Nuclear quadrupole coupling constants for D-containing species show no evidence of electric field gradient perturbation and are consistent with the structures obtained from inertial data. The primary interaction between the two molecules is a 2.646(11) A hydrogen bond with acetylene as the donor and a 1,1-difluoroethylene fluorine as the acceptor that forms a 122.41(79) degrees C-Fcdots, three dots, centeredH angle. A secondary interaction between the acetylenic bond and the difluoroethylene hydrogen atom cis to the acceptor fluorine atom causes the hydrogen bond to deviate 53.25(24) degrees from linearity. Structural comparisons with the related complex, 1,1-difluoroethylene-hydrogen chloride [Z. Kisiel et al., J. Chem. Soc., Faraday Trans. 88, 3385 (1992)], suggest that the hydrogen bond in the acetylene complex is weaker, whereas comparisons with vinyl fluoride-acetylene [G. C. Cole and A. C. Legon, Chem. Phys. Lett. 369, 31 (2003)] indicate that the fluorine atoms in 1,1-difluoroethylene are less basic than the one in vinyl fluoride.     

Reactions of molybdenum and tungsten halides with acetylenic hydrocarbons: an approach to the structure and pathways of formation of metathesis catalysts

A number of acetylene and mixed acetylene-nitrile complexes of tungsten and molybdenum halides have been prepared and investigated. Depending on the acetylene and the reaction conditions, one or more acetylene molecules may be coordinated to the metal. In the latter case acetylenes are coordinated not as single molecules but in systems of conjugated non-aromatic double bonds. On the basis of the supposed structure of such species and on their pyrolysis products a decomposition scheme is proposed, which consider the formation of apparent metathesis products as a side reaction of the cyclotrimerization of acetylenes to aromatic hydrocarbons.     

Simultaneous determination of manganese and selenium in serum by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

A method for determination of manganese and selenium in serum by simultaneous atomic absorption spectrometry (SIMAAS) is proposed. The samples (30 mul) were diluted (1+3) to 1.0% v/v HNO(3)+0.10% w/v Triton X-100 directly in the autosampler cups. A total of 20 mug Pd+10 mug Mg(NO(3))(2) was used as chemical modifier. The pyrolysis and atomization temperatures for the simultaneous heating program were 1200 and 2300 degrees C, respectively. The addition of an oxidant mixture (15% w/w H(2)O(2)+1.0% v/v HNO(3)) and the inclusion of a low temperature pyrolysis step (400 degrees C) attenuated the build-up of carbonaceous residues onto the integrated platform. An aliquot of 15 mul of the reference or sample solution was introduced into the graphite tube and heated at 80 degrees C; subsequently, 10 mul of oxidant mixture+10 mul of chemical modifier was introduced over that aliquot and the remaining heating program steps were executed. This strategy allowed at least 250 heating cycles for each THGA tube without analytical signal deterioration. The characteristic masses for manganese (6 pg) and selenium (46 pg) were estimated from the analytical curves. The detection limits were 6.5 pg (n=20, 3delta) for manganese and 50 pg (n=20, 3delta) for selenium. The reliability of the entire procedure was checked with the analysis of serum from Seronormtrade mark Trace Elements in Serum (Sero AS) and by addition and recovery tests (97+/-9% for manganese and 96+/-7% for selenium) using five serum samples.

Practical synthesis of an open geodesic polyarene with a fullerene-type 6:6-double bond at the center: diindeno[1,2,3,4-defg;1',2',3',4'-mnop]chrysene

Diindeno[1,2,3,4-defg;1',2',3',4'-mnop]chrysene (1), the smallest possible alkene-centered C60 substructure with a curved pi-system, is obtained in 25-35% yield by flash vacuum pyrolysis of the twisted 1,1'-dibromobifluorenylidene (2) on a 100 mg scale at 1050 degrees C. At 1200 degrees C, the bowl-shaped hydrocarbon 1 rearranges to the planar isomer diindeno[5,6,7,1-defg;5',6',7',1'-lmnop]chrysene (14) by a double 5/6 ring-expansion/ring-contraction. X-ray crystallography establishes that the central carbon atoms of 1 are nearly 80% as pyramidalized as the carbon atoms of C60 (POAV angles = 9.0 degrees and 11.6 degrees for 1 and C60, respectively). A four-step synthesis has been developed to prepare the pyrolysis precursor (2) as a mixture of (E)- and (Z)-isomers in 39% overall yield from commercially available 9-fluorenone-1-carboxylic acid (10).

Large-scale synthesis, characterization and microwave absorption properties of carbon nanotubes of different helicities

Carbon nanotubes of high helicity (H-HCNTs, Sample A) have been synthesized in large-scale by pyrolysis of acetylene at 450 °C over Fe nanoparticles derived from coprecipitation/hydrogen reduction method. With controlled introduction of hydrogen during acetylene pyrolysis, CNTs of low helicity (L-HCNTs, Sample B) and worm-like CNTs (Sample C) were obtained in large quantities. The yields of the CNTs products are high, especially that of H-HCNTs (ca. 7474%). The complex permittivity and permeability of Composites A, B, and C that contain Samples A, B and C (30 wt%) were measured in the 2-18 GHz frequency range. Good absorption of electromagnetic wave (reflection loss<−20 dB) was observed in the 7.18-10.68 and 7.5-10.7 GHz range over Composites B and C (2.0-3.0 mm thickness), respectively. Thus, through the suggested route, CNTs can be produced easily and selectively in large quantities. The lightweight materials can be utilized for microwave absorption.     

Low-temperature synthesis of amorphous carbon nanocoils via acetylene coupling on copper nanocrystal surfaces at 468 K: a reaction mechanism analysis

A new type of amorphous helical carbon nanofibers has been synthesized using copper nanocatalysts and an acetylene gas source at atmospheric pressure. The nanofibers are grown at 468 K, which is the lowest temperature by ordinary metal-catalyzed thermal chemical vapor deposition of hydrocarbon, and exhibit a symmetric growth mode in the form of twin helices. IR, XRD, Raman, and C/H molar ratio analyses reveal a polymer-like structure with a weak trans-polyacetylene feature. The nanofibers are a mixture of solid polymers and a small amount of carbon. A reaction mechanism has been proposed on the basis of the previous studies of acetylene adsorption, desorption properties, and surface reactions on copper (111), (110), and (001) planes under ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) conditions as well as the results obtained in our study. The reaction mechanism of acetylene on copper single-crystal surfaces under UHV conditions indeed reflects the reaction mechanism under practical catalytic conditions at atmospheric pressure. The nanofibers grow mainly via acetylene coupling to solid polymers on copper nanocrystal surfaces. Acetylene also couples to yield small amounts of liquid oligomers and gaseous products, and undergoes slight carbon deposition during the fiber growth.     

High magnetization helical carbon nanofibers produced by nanoparticle catalysis

Helical carbon nanofibers were synthesized by means of acetylene pyrolysis at 450 degrees C using Fe nanoparticles as catalyst. There is no need to modify the Fe nanoparticles by a chiral reagent. The carbon nanofibers generated are crystalline and symmetric, with the (110) plane of Fe particle being the mirror plane. There would be a change in the shape of the nanofibers if the temperature at the beginning or during the synthesis were altered. Compared to the helical carbon nanofibers reported elsewhere in the literature, our samples show higher magnetization.
