The thermal decomposition of thaumasite from Mothae kimberlite pipe,Lesotho, Southern Africa

The endothermic decomposition of thaumasite from Mothae which has been investigated by DTA and TG shows a peak temperature of 138–203°, and reaction orders of 0.45–1.00, depending on the heating rate employed. The activation energy of the reaction was found to be about 19 kcal/mole; the enthalpy is 246 cal/g.The decomposition seems to be divided into one reaction withn=0.90, immediately followed by one withn=1.59. The first reaction is attributed to the loss of H₂O, the second one to the (partial) release of OH and CO₂.

Zusammenfassung Die durch DTA und TG überprüfte endothermische Zersetzung von Thaumasit aus Mothae zeigt in Abhängigkeit der angewandten Aufheizgeschwindigkeiten Spitzentemperaturen zwischen 138 und 203° C, sowie Reaktionsordnungen von 0.45 bis 1.00. Die Aktivierungsenergie der Reaktion ergab sich zu 19 Kcal/Mol, die Enthalpie zu 246 cal/g.Die Zersetzung scheint in eine Reaktion vonn=0.90 und eine sofort darauffolgende vonn=1.59 geteilt zu sein. Die erste Reaktion wird dem Verlust von H₂O, die zweite der (teilweisen) Freisetzung von OH und CO₂ zugeschrieben.

Suivant la vitesse de chauffage utilisée la température au sommet du pic varie de 138 à 203° C et l'ordre de réaction de 0.45 à 1.00. On a trouvé que l'énergie d'activation s'élevait à 19 kcal, mol^–1 et l'enthalpie à 246 cal. g^–1.Il semble que la décomposition s'effectue suivant une réaction d'ordren=0.90, immédiatement suivie par une autre oùn=1.59. On attribue la première réaction à la perte d'eau et la seconde à la libération (partielle) d'hydroxyles OH et d'anhydride carbonique CO₂.

Selectivity of catalytic processes under forced cyclic operation

The influence of oscillations in the feed concentration on the selectivity of a catalytic process has been studied for parallel reactions. The selectivity increase in periodic operations depends on both the type of kinetic functions and the non-steady-state properties of the catalysts.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of bromide ions by sodium perborate by transforming to a Landolt process

Sodium perborate was used for oxidation of bromide ions at pH 3.64. The reaction was conducted by potentiometric measurements. The orders with respect to perborate and bromide ions were found to be unity in each reagent and a plausible mechanism was postulated. The effect of temperature was studied in the range of 20–40 °C and the Arrhenius parameters were evaluated.

On the relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The paper deals with the relationship between the crystal and molecular structures of CuSO₄.5 H₂O, CuSO₄.3 H₂O and CuSO₄.H₂O on the one hand, and the stoichiometries of their thermal decompositions on the other. With the use of methods of X ray powder diffractograms, i.r. and electronic spectra, evidence is provided that the intermediates of the thermal decomposition of CuSO₄.5 H₂O have the same crystal and molecular structures as CuSO₄.3 H₂O and CuSO₄.H₂O prepared by other procedures. It is also shown that at temperatures near that of the thermal decomposition, certain, not further identified structural changes take place in CuSO₄.5 H₂O.

Effect of carbon support on the hydrogen sorption of platinum

The hydrogen sorption of carbon-supported platinum catalysts, studied by the potentiodynamic method, differs significantly from that of unsupported platinum. The difference depends on the preparation method and on the nature of the support. Possible explanations are suggested as (i) some kind of interaction between metal and support atoms during impregnation, (ii) high dispersity (amorphous structure) and (iii) hydrogen spillover onto the carbon support.

On the mechanism of propylene oxidation over gallium-molybdenum oxide catalysts

The products of selective oxidation are shown to be formed via a stepwise mechanism with participation of surface allylic complexes. A successive transformation of -allyl to -allyl and further to acrolein is possible. The products of complete oxidation may be formed through surface carbonate-carboxylate complexes via either a stepwise mechanism involving the catalyst's oxygen, or a concerted mechanism with the participation of molecular oxygen.

Thermal research of montmorillonite synthetized from the oxides SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-CaO

The thermal behaviour of synthetic montmorillonite of relatively simple chemical composition has been studied and interpreted. Montmorillonite was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis at 300° and 8.8 MPa during 165 hours. With the methods of DTA, DTG, TG, X-ray diffraction analysis, infrared spectroscopy and electron microscopy it was proved that the synthetic montmorillonite is a monomineral sample and no differences from natural montmorillonite were observed.

Differential scanning calorimetry of chloroquine sulphate exposed to sun,heat and ultraviolet radiation

Chloroquine sulphate, like the phosphate, is an antimalarial formulation widely used in the tropics. The stability of such formulations is therefore of interest in the combat against malaria. A DSC study has been made of the effects of exposure to the sun, heat and UV radiation on the stability of chloroquine sulphate, similarly as performed earlier for chloroquine phosphate. When freshly recrystallized from a water-acetone mixture, chloroquine sulphate exhibits two endothermic peaks, at 169.4° and 204.7°, for the expulsion of crystal water (one molecule) and for the melting process, respectively. The exposure of chloroquine sulphate to the sun, heat and UV radiation leads to splitting of the peak for melting.

Zusammenfassung Chloroquine-Sulfat ist ebenso wie das entsprechende Phosphatderivat ein in den Tropen weitverbreitet angewandtes Antimalaria-Präparat. Die Stabilität dieses Präparates hat damit Bedeutung für die Malariabekämpfung. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist eine Erweiterung einer Untersuchung über den Effekt der Einwirkung.von Sonne, Hitze und UV-Strahlen auf die Stabilität von Chloroquine-Phosphat auf Chloroquine-Sulfat. Aus Wasser-Aceton-Mischungen frisch kristallisiertes Chloroquine-Sulfat zeigt zwei endotherme Peaks bei 169,4 und 204,7 °C, die durch Abgabe von Kristallwasser (ein Molekül) bzw. durch den Schmelzvorgang bedingt sind. Wird Chloroquine-Sulfat der Sonne, Wärme oder UV-Licht ausgesetzt, so wird der dem Schmelzvorgang zuzuscheibende Peak aufgespalten.

Thermal properties of thio-and selenocyanatocopper(II) complexes with bipyridine and phenanthroline

The paper deals with the thermal properties of complex compounds of the general formula CuL₂(NCX)₂ (whereL=bipy or phen,X=S or Se). The phenanthroline complexes exhibit a higher thermal stability than those with bipyridine. For the latter complexes thermal decomposition begins with the release of bipyridine molecules, while for the phenanthroline complexes redox reactions of pseudohalogenide ligands with Cu(II) take place. The redox reactions start at a lower temperature for the selenocyanate complexes than for the thiocyanate complexes.

Die Phenanthrolinkomplexe zeigen eine grössere thermische Stabilität als die Bipyridinkomplexe. Die thermiscne Zersetzung letzterer beginnt mit der Abgabe von Bipyridinmolekülen, während bei den Phenanthrolinkomplexen Redoxreaktionen von Pseudohalogenidliganden·mit Cu(II) stattfinden. Diese Redoxreaktionen beginnen bei den Selenozyanatkomplexen bei niedrigeren Temperaturen als bei den Thiozyanatkomplexen.

Effect of CO2 on O2 photo-adsorption on anatase

The presence of CO₂ on TiO₂ affects the process of oxygen photo-adsorption depending on the hydroxylation state of the surface. In dehydroxylated samples CO₂ blocks the formation of O ₃ ^– and O ₂ ^– . On H₂O₂/TiO₂ samples pretreated in the range of 150–200°C it leads to CO₂–O ₂ ^– species.
