Kinetics and mechanism of ketone-bisulfite addition reaction in aqueous solution

The kinetics of the addition of bisulfite to acetone has been studied by the polarographic technique. The specific rate increases with pH and hence the reaction is probably base catalyzed. Mechanisms have been suggested for the reaction in the presence and absence of added base.

Reactivity of allyl (o-halophenyl) ethers with organonickel (0) complexes

The reactivity of allyl (o-halophenyl) ethers with zerovalent nickel complexes, with triphenylphosphine and pyridine as ligands, leading to benzo[b]furan derivatives has been checked. Cyclization products were not isolated, but deallylation, substitution, reduction and rearrangement products were obtained in low to moderate yields. Mechanisms are proposed to explain the formation of these side products.

AlPO4?ZrO2 catalysts, IV. Cyclohexene skeletal isomerization activity of systems obtained in ethylene oxide

The use of AlPO₄–ZrO₂ (weight ratio AlPO₄/ZrO₂=3) as catalyst systems obtained with ethylene oxide and subjected to different stages of heat treatments has been studied through their catalytic activity in the skeletal isomerization of cyclohexene to 1- and 3-methylcyclopentenes (1- and 3MCP). The apparent rate constants and selectivity to 1-MCP are used for an evaluation of the presence and amount of strong acid sites, the only ones capable of giving rise to skeletal isomerization. The decrease in catalytic activity as calcination increases is consistent with not only the decrease in the amount of acid sites measured vs. weaker organic bases but also with the decrease in Brönsted acidity, as shown by the decrease in O–H band intensity.

Telomerization of butadiene with diethylamine catalyzed by Ni, Pd and Pt allyl halide complexes

The telomerization of butadiene with diethylamine with the formation of the tertiary amine (C₂H₅)₂NC₈H₁₃ is catalyzed by Ni, Pd and Pt allyl halide complexes. Triphenylphosphine increases the activity of such catalysts. The rate of telomerization depends strongly on the [PPh₃]/[M] ratio (M=Pd and Pt) and increases in the series of metals: Ni3H₅PdCl)₂ exceeds that of (-C₃H₅)₂ Pd by more than two orders of magnitude.

Liquid-phase oxidation of propylene to propylene glycol acetates over Pd/C and Pt?Pd/C: Effect of platinum on catalyst activity and metal dispersity

Kinetics of oxidation of propylene to propylene glycol and its acetates in acetic acid solutions of lithium nitrate over Pd/C and Pd–Pt/C catalysts has been studied. Catalysts were investigated using X-ray phase analysis and electron microscopy. Platinum introduction into catalyst increases the metal dispersity and the catalyst stability but produces no effect on the nature of surface sites active in propylene oxidation.

Study of Na-A molecular sieve degeneration by thermal analysis

The degenerations on heat treatment and the thermal stabilities of Na-A molecular sieve zeolites of different crystallinities were studied by thermal analysis. The degenerations of the sieves were computed from the decreases of the zeolitic water content. The thermal stabilities were determined from the commencement of the exothermic peaks. Heating at 600 causes considerable degeneration of these sieves. The degeneration and thermal stability depend on the crystallinity of the sieve. Poorly-crystalline sieves are degenerated to a greater extent than well-crystaline ones. The thermal stabilities on poorly-crystalline sieves also decrease during heating at 600.

Zusammenfassung Die infolge der WÄrmebehandlung auftretende Degenerierung und die HietzebestÄndigkeit von Na-A Molekularsiebzeolithen verschiedener KristallinitÄt wurden durch Thermoanalyse untersucht. Die Degenerierung der Siebe wurde an der Abnahme des Zeolithwassergehaltes gemessen. Die HitzebestÄndigkeit. wurde aus dem Anfang des exothermen Peaks abgeleitet. Aufheizen auf 600 verursacht eine bedeutende Degenerierung der Siebe. Degenerierung und HitzestabilitÄt hÄngen von der KristallinitÄt der Substanzen ab. Wenig kristalline Siebe werden in höherem Ma\e degeneriert als hochkristalline. Die HitzebestÄndigkeit wenig kristalliner Spezies wird durch Aufheizen auf 600 ebenfalls herabgesetzt.

Résumé On a étudié, par analyse thermique, la dégénération causée par traitement thermique ainsi que la stabilité thermique de tamis moléculaires aux zéolithes Na-A de cristallinité différente. On a mesuré la dégénération des tamis à partir de la diminution de la teneur en eau zéolithique. On a déterminé la stabilité thermique à partir du commencement du pic exothermique. Le chauffage à 600 cause une dégénération considérable des tamis. La dégé nération et la stabilité thermique dépendent de la cristallinité des tamis. Des tamis à faible cristallinité dégénèrent plus fortement que ceux à haute cristallinité. La stabilité thermique des tamis à faible cristallinité diminue également lors du chauffage à 600.

Influence of pore diffusion on the rate of n-heptane conversion on a Pt/Al2O3 catalyst under reforming conditions

Under reforming conditions, the rate of n-heptane conversion on a large Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst grain, in contrast to that in the kinetic region, depends on the hydrogen to hydrocarbon mole ratio. The rate equation for the reaction on a large grain agrees well with the experimental results obtained by a gradientless method under pressure.
