Kinetics and mechanism of redox reactions of U(III) ions with 2-chloro and 2-bromopropanoic acids

The kinetics and mechanism of redox reactions of U³⁺ ions with 2-chloro and 2-bromopropanoic acids were studied. The influence of pH led to the determination of the rate constants corresponding to two parallel steps. The influence of binary mixtures on the reaction rate was followed. The kinetic results for halogen-substituted carboxylic acids forming an isokinetic series have been compared.

Décomposition thermique du sulfite de fer(II) anhydre

Résumé Sous azote ou sous vide, le sulfite ferreux anhydre se décompose vers 210° en magnétite, pyrite et dioxyde de soufre. Concurremment une réaction de dismutation intervient avec formation de FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ et FeS₂. Lorsque la température atteint 320°, la pyrite et le sulfate réagissent ensemble pour donner Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ et SO₂. Au-delà de 370° le sulfure ferreux non-stchiométrique commence à réagir à son tour avec le sulfate restant pour former de la magnetite et du dioxyde de soufre.

In nitrogen or under vacuum, anhydrous iron(II) sulfite decomposes near 210° to magnetite, pyrite and sulfur dioxide. A parallel disproportionation reaction occurs with formation of FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ and FeS₂. When the temperature reaches 320°, pyrite and sulfate react together to give Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ and SO₂. Above 370° the non-stoichiometric ferrous sulfide begins to react with the remaining sulfate to give magnetite and sulfur dioxide.

M?ssbauer spectroscopic studies of passivated layers of iron-containing catalysts for ammonia synthesis

Combined conversion electron (CEMS) and transmission -ray (MS) Mössbauer spectroscopy was used to study the structure of passivated layers of promoted and unpromoted iron-containing catalysts. In both catalysts the oxide-coated films were found to consist of small paramagnetic (at 300 K) clusters of ferric oxide.

Thermal analysis of carbon anti-burn-on disperse systems used in foundries

Anti-burn-on disperse systems for foundry use, containing carbon (graphite or anthracite after different pretreatments, or mixtures thereof) in carboxymethylcellulose-water, were studied by TG-DTA. Thermal effects are attributed to the evaporation of water, the evolution of other volatiles and the beginning of ignition. TG is useful for determination of the water content.

Crystallization of iron phosphate glasses

Differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy were employed in the investigation of crystalline products of FeO_x-P₂O₅ glasses generated by various heat treatments. In glasses with a high value of =Fe²⁺/(Fe²⁺ + Fe³⁺), absorption of oxygen occurs in a broad temperature range identified by TG. Depending on the value of , two exotherms appear in the DTA curves, the low-temperature one corresponding to crystallization of the Fe₃(PO₄)₂ type regions, and the high-temperature one being related to various phases with dominating FePO₄. Each exotherm has its own transformation region, identical in absolute value. The Mössbauer spectra of glasses which underwent thermal treatment at higher temperatures exhibit some indication of phases of the types Fe₃(PO₄)₂ · xH₂O and FePO₄ · xH₂O.

Liquid phase CO+H2 reactions in presence of ruthenium catalysts

Several effects on the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide in propanol in presence of ruthenium catalysts are examined. The homologation reaction is not observed, only propyl formate and propyl acetate are produced with any ruthenium catalyst. The pH-value is an important parameter: in acid media, the yield of propyl formate is noticeably increased indicating different catalytic active species. The addition of cesium salts is also benefitial for formate formation. This is not the case when water is associated with propanol as solvent. Finally, no ethylene glycol is detected. The process is found to be homogeneous and methanol seems to be the precursor of methyl formate.

Physico-chemical transformations during heating of phosphorites

The thermal behaviour of phosphorites in an oxygen or helium atmosphere was studied by means of simultaneous TG-DTG-DTA-gas titrimetric EGA. Thermal oxidation and/or decomposition steps of the contaminating organic materials, carbonate minerals and pyrite, and of the fluorocarbonate-apatite were identified. The evolution of CO₂ from the latter has its maximum at 750–850 °C and is accompanied by an increase in the lattice parametera ₀.

Selective hydrogenation of acrylonitrile over a supported Ni catalyst

Acrylonitrile can be selectively hydrogenated into propionitrile at about 400 K over a ceramic-supported Ni catalyst. At low surface coverages, the observed rates of hydrogenation are proportional to the first powers of the partial pressures of both acrylonitrile and dihydrogen, in agreement with Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics.

Studies of the effect of zinc chloride and aluminium additives on the activity of a Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst (5 wt.%Pd) in the isomerization of heptene-1, allylbenzene,p-allylphenol and 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol (eugenol) indicate that the rate and selectivity of isomerization depend on the sequence of addition of salts and reagent to the catalytic system. The simultaneous addition of ZnCl₂ or AlCl₃ with olefin, produces a 2–3 fold increase in the isomer yield compared to ethanol.

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

The Stoichiometry and the kinetics of thermal decomposition of the title compounds were studied. The results were correlated with the structures of the Cu(II) coordination polyhedra, which have in general a 4+2 type of coordination. It was shown that the equatorial Cu-H₂O bond distances are important for the found decomposition stoichiometries. As an intermediate of thermal decomposition, Cu(H₂O)₅(CH₃C₆H₄SO₃)₂ was prepared and characterized via its IR and electronic spectra and powder X-ray diffractogram. The experimental activation energies increase with increasing degree of tetragonality of the Cu(II) coordination polyhedron forX ^–=C₆H₅SO₃ and D-C₁₀ H ₁₅OSO₃, but decrease forX ^–=4-CH₃C₆H₄SO₃. TheE ^* value found for the decomposition of the latter compound can not be attributed to the chemical reaction.
