Influence of the gas phase on metallic reference electrodes used in work function measurements

Contact potential differences between electrodes of Pt, Au and Ta of different surface finishing were measured by the dynamic condenser method in propylene and oxygen. Propylene is irreversibly adsorbed, thus changing the work function. This renders the electrodes unsuitable as standard electrodes for work function measurements on catalysts in the atmosphere of hydrocarbons, but they may be used in adsorption studies on oxygen.

Recombination of polyatomic ester peroxy radicals in solution

Termination rate constants of peroxy radicals of seven polyatomic esters in benzene and perflouorooctane media have been measured by pulse photolysis. Recombination of peroxy radicals for all esters examined proves to be diffusion controlled. Reactivity of peroxy radicals in the termination reaction grows with increasing number of ester groups.

Mechanism of methane photooxidation on V/SiO2 catalyst

CH₄ photooxidation on V/SiO₂ catalyst in the presence of gaseous oxygen has been studied by the mass-spectometric method. It has been established that CO₂ forms due to the interaction of CH₄ with surface oxygen anions bonded to vanadium ions. Photodecomposition of V⁴⁺O ₂ ^– species formed in O₂ adsorption on reduced vanadium ions leads to the reoxidation of the latter.

Formation of hexagonal MoO3 upon the decomposition of silica-supported ammonium paramolybdate

Upon the decomposition of silica-supported ammonium paramolybdate, hexagonal MoO₃ is formed at 300–350 °C. Irreversible transformation of hexagonal to rhombic MoO₃ is observed with increasing calcination temperature. The hexagonal MoO₃ structure is probably stabilized by the insertion of ammonium and silicon ions into the lattice of molybdenum trioxide.

Study of well-characterized Pt?Ru/C catalysts by oxygen electroreduction

A series of well characterized Pt–Ru bimetallic catalysts supported on graphite has been studied by means of the electroreduction of oxygen in a supporting electrolyte of 1 N H₂SO₄. A synergetic effect is observed when the activity per gram of catalyst is considered. However, this effect disappears when the activity values are corrected by the active surface area.

Interaction of ammonia with the surface of Cr?Mo and Cr?Mo?Te oxide catalysts

The adsorption of NH₃ on Cr–Mo and Cr–Mo–Te catalysts has been investigated by IR spectroscopy. It is shown that there are both electron acceptor and proton donor acid centers on the surface of these catalysts. The introduction of tellurium into a Cr–Mo catalyst decreases adsorption on the electron acceptor centers.

Modification effect of Cu upon Pt In Pt?Cu?Al2O3 catalysts

In Pt–Cu–Al₂O₃ catalysts Cu might display either Electronic Ligand Effect or Ensemble Effect, depending on the preparation method of catalysts. For catalysts with Pt added before Cu, the latter exhibits an Electronic Ligand Effect. However, for catalysts with Cu added before Pt or with co-added Pt and Cu, Cu mainly demonstrates an Ensemble Effect.

Kinetic and mechanistic studies on the oxidation of arginine and histidine by chloramine-T in hydrochloric acid medium

The oxidation of amino acids by chloramine-T (CAT) in HCl medium at 30°C indicates simultaneous catalysis by H⁺ and Cl^– ions in the HCl concentration range of 0.04–0.12 M. The reaction is first order with respect to concentrations [CAT], [H⁺] and [arginine], but zero order with respect to [histidine]. The rate depends also on Cl^– concentration following 0.7th order. At HCl concentrations >0.12 M, the rate equation is:w=k[CAT] [amino acid]^0.6 and is independent of the [Cl^–]. A suitable mechanism has been suggested.

Interaction of monochlorinated phenols with granular activated carbon

The validity of an empirical model to estimate the adsorption affinity of a solute from its acidity constant (pKa) was confirmed through study of the adsorption of monochlorinated phenols on granular activated carbon.Neglecting possible adsorbate fragmentation, simplified desorption kinetic data were obtained for the massive thermal release of the investigated solutes. The resulting non-isothermal kinetic parameters confirm that thermal cleaning of the adsorbent surface is a phase-boundary controlled process involving the interruption of physical interactions according to the calculated activation energy values.

Zusammenfassung Die Gültigkeit eines empirischen Modells zur Abschätzung der Adsorptionsaffinität eines gelösten Stoffes auf Grund der Aciditätskonstante (pKa) wurde durch Untersuchung der Adsorption von monochlorierten Phenolen an granulierter Aktivkohle bestätigt. Unter Vernachlässigung einer möglichen Adsorbatfragmentierung wurden vereinfachte kinetische Daten für die thermische Desorption der untersuchten gelösten Stoffe erhalten. Die erhaltenen, nichtisothermen kinetischen Parameter zeigen, daß die thermische Säuberung der Adsorbentoberfläche ein phasengrenzflächenkontrollierter Prozeß ist, bei dem physikalische Wechselwirkungen entsprechend den berechneten Werten der Aktivierungsenergie aufgehoben werden.

Hydrocarbon cool flame-induced transformations of alkali metal chlorides

Studies of the effect of stabilized cool flame propane oxidation on alkali metal chlorides have revealed the partial removal of surface chlorine and the formation of alkali and formiate. Formiate formation was tentatively detected by IR spectroscopy. Excess heating (up to 23°C) established on such surfaces in the zone of cool flame compared to untreated ones, can be due to the recombination of surface radicals.
