Reactions of C4?C6 alkanes on platinum and platium-gold films

Results are reported on the reactions of n-butane, n-pentane and n-hexane on Pt and Pt/Au alloy films. The results are compared with those obtained for Pt–Au alloys on a SiO₂ carrier. It is concluded that alloying can change the selectivity of the catalyst. No indication has been found for the possible role of oxygen in the high selectivity of Pt in non-destructive reactions.

Interaction of super-finely dispersed Al powders with water

Interaction of super-finely dispersed Al powders (SFDP) with water is characterized by the presence of a considerable section on the kinetic curves, where the conversion rate is maximum and its degree is as high as =0.5–0.7. It is suggested that the essential factor accounting for the conversion kinetics and the phase composition of its products is the self-heating of Al particles.

Non-isothermal crystallisation kinetics of nucleated poly(ethylene terephthalate)

Crystallisation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) in dependence on different crystallisation promotors has been studied by non-isothermal DTA runs with several heating and cooling rates. Using an evaluation method, proposed by Kissinger, activation parameters have been evaluated for crystallisation from the amorphous state and from the melt. Calculated rate constants and half time values of crystallisation, respectively, are in good agreement with crystallisation behaviour of different samples observed under technical conditions.

Zusammenfassung Die Kristallisation von Polyethylenterephthalat in Abhängigkeit von verschiedenen Kristallisationspromotoren wurde durch nicht-isotherme DTA bei verschiedenen Aufheiz- und Abkühlgeschwindigkeiten gemessen. Unter Verwendung einer auf Kissinger zurückgehenden Auswertemethode wurden Aktivierungsparameter für die Kristallisation aus dem amorphen Zustand bzw. aus der Schmelze ermittelt. Die berechneten Geschwindigkeitskonstanten und Halbwertszeiten der Kristallisation zeigen gute übereinstimmung mit dem Kristallisationsverhalten verschiedener Proben unter technischen Bedingungen.

The state of metal cations in CuCr₂O₄/-Al₂O₃ catalysts under its operation in catalytic heat generators has been examined. IR spectra of adsorbed CO indicate copper ion reduction in the catalyst to Cu⁺, whose surface concentration was determined. Diffuse reflectance spectra have revealed that the initial catalyst contains Cr(VI), disappearing after reaction.

Character of hydrocarbon activation and catalytic activity of solid catalysts in deep oxidation reactions

In terms of a single conception, the relative reactivity of hydrocarbons and the activity of solid catalysts in reactions of deep oxidation are interpreted for the IT_i type mechanism. It is shown that for the oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons the most important is the acceptor interaction of hydrocarbons with catalysts, whereas for the oxidation of unsaturated compounds, of significance are both the donor and acceptor interactions.

Comparison of the acid strength of solid catalysts

The catalytic activity of some solid acidic catalysts was tested in the depolymerization of paraldehyde. It was found that the activities of sulfonated ion exchange resin and mounted phosphotungstic acid strongly exceed the activity of silica-alumina and other oxide catalysts. By means of Brönsted relationship, the differences in H_O of the surfaces were estimated.

Reaction scheme in the non-isothermal decomposition of (C6H5NH3)4Mo8O26 · 2 H2O

The thermogravimetric decomposition of anilinum octamolybdate has been studied under non-isothermal conditions to elucidate the chemical reactions taking place in the first step of decomposition of the anhydrous compound.The decomposition products were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction.The main decomposition product of aniline turned out to be indole, which is different from the major product in the isothermal decomposition at the same temperature, i.e. N-ethyl-aniline.A dehydrocyclization reaction is suggested as the rate-dependent process. This is probably due to the catalytic effect of the octamolybdate anion.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Anilinoctamolybdat wurde unter nicht-isothermen Bedingungen thermogravimetrisch untersucht, um die im ersten Zersetzungsschritt der wasserfreien Verbindung verlaufenden chemischen Reaktionen aufzuklären. Die Zersetzungsprodukte wurden mittels Gas-Flüssigkeits-Chromatographie, Gaschromatographie-Massenspektrometrie (GC/MS), Infrarotspektroskopie und Röntgendiffraktometrie analysiert. Als Hauptprodukt der Zersetzung von Anilin wurde Indol gefunden, während bei isothermer Zersetzung bei gleicher Temperatur vorwiegend N-Äthylanilin entsteht. Es wird angenommen, daß beim nicht-isothermen Prozeß eine wahrscheinlich durch das Octamolybdat katalysierte Dehydrocyclisierungsreaktion verläuft.

Thermoanalytical investigation of ion exchange resins. The swelling water of anion exchange resins

The water uptakes of completely swollen and air dried anion exchange resins were investigated by traditional and also by thermoanalytical measurements. In investigations on the air dried resin samples of HSO₄, H₂PO₄, SO₄, HPO₄ and PO₄ forms, two types of water (strongly and loosely bound) were found. The sequence of water uptake on the resins investigated was compared to the opposite order of the adsorption strengths of the anions and to the entropies of the hydrated anions. A conclusion was made regarding the role of the hydration of the anions in the selectivity sequence of anion exchange.

Zusammenfassung Die Wasseraufnahme vollständig angequollener und lufttrockener Anionenaustauscherharze wurde mittels herkömmlicher sowie auch thermoanalytischer Messungen untersucht. Bei den Prüfungen der lufttrockenen Harzproben in den HSO₄-, H₂PO₄-, SO₄-, HPO₄-, und PO₄-Formen wurden zwei Arten von Wasser gefunden: stark und schwach gebundenes. Die Reihenfolge der Wasseraufnahme wurde mit der umgekehrten Reihenfolge der Adsorptionsstärke der Anionen und mit der Entropie der hydratisierten Anionen verglichen. Schlüsse bezüglich der Rolle der Hydratisierung der Anionen bei der Selektvititätsreihenfolge des Anionenaustausch wurden gezogen.

Lors de l'étude des échantillons de résines séchées à l'air, de formes HSO₄, H₂PO₄, SO₄, HPO₄ et PO₄, on a trouvé deux types d'eau: de l'eau fortement liée et de l'eau faiblement liée. On a comparé l'ordre de l'absorption d'eau des résines étudiées à l'ordre inverse des forces d'adsorption des anions et à l'entropie des anions hydratés. On en tire des conclusions sur le rôle de l'hydratation des anions sur la sélectivité de l'échange anionique.

Thermochemical studies on the systems ACl/CeCl3 (A=Na-Cs)

The pseudobinary systems ACl/CeCl₃ (A=Na-Cs) were reinvestigated by means of DTA. The following compounds were found and identified through their X-ray patterns (primarily detected compounds in italics):NaCe _1.67 Cl ₆; K₃CeCl₆, K₂CeCl₅,KCe _1.67 Cl ₆;Rb ₃ CeCl ₆, Rb₂CeCl₅,RbCe ₂ Cl ₇; Cs₃CeCl₆, Cs₂CeCl₅,CsCe ₂ Cl ₇. The compounds A₂CeCl₅ crystallize with the K₂PrCl₅ structure. The high-temperature modifications of the compounds A₃CeCl₆ have the cubic elpasolite structure. The hexagonal unit cell of KCe_1.67Cl₆ is related to the CeCl₃ structure: 0.33 Ce³⁺ are substituted by one K^s+. The structure of CsCe₂Cl₇ can be described with a hexagonal subcellZ=4,a=9.72 andc=14.94 Å; however, small superstructure reflexions reduce the symmetry.The thermodynamic functions for the reactionsnACl+CeCl₃=A _n CeCl _n+3(A=K, Rb) were determined by means of e.m.f. measurements.Measurements of the e.m.f.E vs. T yielded the Gibbs enthalpiesG ^r . The temperature-dependence was found to be linear.The most important result is the formation of the elpasolites (A₃CeCl₆) and ACe₂Cl₇.

Acidity and activity of H-mordenite in m-xylene isomerization

The dependence of the activity of H-mordenites prepared from a natural mordenite on the nature and strength of the acid groups present was studied. The superior catalytic activity and stability of the H(Ag)–MOR zeolite compared with other H-forms is explained on the basis of NH₃ adsorption and IR measurements.

Platinum-palladium catalysts in hydrogenation of methylbenzenes

Hydrogenation of benzene, toluene, o,m and p-xylene over Pt, Pd and Pt–Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts has been studied. Experimental data show that when Pd is added to Pt catalysts, a decrease in activity and changes in selectivity occur. This is explained by the formation of electron-deficient and electrorich metallic species.
