Effect of the support on the coking of nickel catalysts in hydrocarbon steam reforming

Experiments on the coking rates of variously prepared nickel catalysts on TiO₂, Al₂O₃ and MgO in n-butane steam reforming show that changes in the relative coking rate at a rising steam excess in the gas phase depend mainly on the kind of support. The results obtained are accounted for by changes in the electron density at the site of nickel crystallite contact with the surface of various supports.

Coupling of thermometric titrimetry and constant-current coulometry: Study and applications

Two systems involving the coupling of thermometric and coulometry are presented. In the first assembly, the two electrodes were in the same compartment. Bromocoulometry was used to test the possibilities of this coupling in the sequential titration of a vitamin C+ aspirin mixture about (10^–4 M) and the determination of enthalpy changes. In a second coupling system, the anodic and cathodic compartments were separated by a sintered-glass disc of porosity 3. The conditions for obtaining an electrochemical cell which is also a good calorimeter are discussed. Examples of applications are given, such as analytical measurements, the study of an electrochemically catalysed reaction and of the thermal effects of electrode reactions.

Zusammenfassung Zwei Systeme werden beschrieben, die eine Kombination von thermometrischer Titrimetrie und Coulometrie darstellen. Bei der ersten Vorrichtung sind die Elektroden im gleichen Raum Untergebracht. Die Bromocoulometric wurde zur Testung der durch diese Kombination für die aufeinanderfolgende Titration von Vitamin C/Aspirin Gemischen (ungefähr 10^–4 M) und für die Bestimmung der Enthalpieänderungen gebotenen Möglichkeiten angewandt. In einem zweiten kombinierten System waren Anoden- und Kathodenraum durch ein Sinterglasfilter der Porosität 3 voneinander getrennt. Es werden die Bedingungen diskutiert, die notwendig sind, um eine elektrochemische Zelle zu erhalten, die zugleich auch ein gutes Kalorimeter ist. Anwendungsbeispiele sind angegeben, wie analytische Messungen und elektrochemische Untersuchungen katalysierter Reaktionen oder thermischer Effekte von Elektrodenreaktionen.

Catalytic decomposition of N2O on La2CuO4 in the presence of LaNi5 alloy

Decomposition of N₂O has been studied on pure La₂CuO₄, La₂CuO₄ with 5 and 10 wt. % LaNi₅ and oxidized LaNi₅ in the temperature range of 240–490 °C at 50 and 200 Torr initial pressures of N₂O. The addition of LaNi₅ decreases the energy of activation compared to that of La₂CuO₄ which has been explained based on the dispersity of NiO over La₂CuO₄.

Studies on the thermal decomposition of N-2,4,6 tetranitro-N-methyl aniline

The kinetics of the initial stage of thermal decomposition of N-2,4,6 tetranitro-N-methyl aniline (tetryl) in condensed state has been investigated by high temperature infrared spectroscopy (IR) in conjunction with pyrolysis gas analysis and thermogravimetry (TG). The decomposition in KBr matrix in the temperature range of 131 to 145 °C shows rapid decrease in the N-NO₂ band intensity as compared to the C-NO₂ band. Decomposition products in the initial stage show mainly NO₂ gas and picric acid. The studies show that the initial stage of decomposition of tetryl occurs by the rupture of the N-NO₂ bond and the energy of activation for this process is 177 kJ/mol.

Die Zersetzung in einer KBr-Matrix im Temperaturbereich von 131–145 °C äußert sich in einem schnellen Abnehmen der Intensität der N-NO₂ Bande bezogen auf die der C-NO₂ Bande.

Formation of methane in methanol synthesis on zinc-chromium catalysts

The rate of methane formation on zinc-chromium catalysts is described by zero-order rate law, If the catalyst is activated by copper, the rate of methane formation increases due to a decrease in the activation energy of the reaction. Presumably the formation of methane and methanol takes place on different active centers.

Modification of Fe species in FeNaY zeolite by NaCl treatment

The treatment of Fe(III)NaY zeolite with NaCl solution does not lead to a back-exchange of ferric species but the cationic Fe rearranges into new complexes which are more deeply reduced by hydrogen and less self-reduced by vacuum heat treatment than the parent Fe species in FeNaY zeolite.

Some aspects of thermal destruction of polyurethanes

A number of Polyurethane elastomers were investigated by means of non-isothermal thermogravimetry to set a general procedure for numerical estimation of kinetic parameters. The value of an assumed objective function. determining the accuracy of the estimation depends on many factors as: the considered region of a TG-curve, the method of choosing points from the curve, and the initial values of the pre-exponential factor and the reaction order. After the optimal conditions were evaluated, the minimum values of the objective function and the corresponding triplet values of kinetic parameters were obtained. Among these, only the activation energy can be considered as a semiquantitative estimate of thermal stability.

Zusammenfassung Eine Anzahl von Polyurethan-Elastomeren wurde mittels nichtisothermer Thermogravimetrie untersucht, um eine allgemeingültige Verfahrensweise zur numerischen Abschätzung kinetischer Parameter abzuleiten. Der Wert einer angenommenen objektiven Funktion zur Bestimmung der Genauigkeit der Abschätzung hängt von mehreren Faktoren ab: von dem in Betracht gezogenen Teil der TG-Kurve, von der Auswahlmethode für die berücksichtigen Meßpunkte, und von den anfänglichen Werten des Präexponentiellen Faktors und der Reaktionsordnung. Nachdem die optimalen Bedingungen ermittelt waren, wurden die minimalen Werte der objektiven Funktion und die entsprechenden Wertetripel für die kinetischen Parameter erhalten. Von diesen kann nur die Aktivierungsenergie als halbquantitatives Maß für die thermische Stabilität betrachtet werden.

Kinetics and mechanism of OsO4 catalyzed oxidation of chalcones by Ce4 in aqueous acetic sulfuric acid media

Kinetics of OsO₄ catalyzed oxidation of chalcones by Ce⁴⁺ has been studied in aqueous acetic-sulfuric acid medium in the temperature range 313 to 338 K. The order in [oxidant] is zero while the order with respect to [substrate] and [catalyst] are each fractional. The rate of the reaction decreased with increase in percentage of acetic acid while [H⁺] had practically no effect on the rate The rates of various substituted chalcones (with substituents in the phenyl. ring attached to the moiety) are in the orderp-CH₃>m-CH₃>H>p-Cl>m-Cl>m-NO₂>p-NO₂. A mechanism in which formation of a cyclic ester between chalcone and OsO₄ in a fast step followed by its decomposition in a rate-determining step is envisaged.

Comparison between ESR spectra and activities of bismuth tungstate catalysts

Electron spin resonance absorptions have been studied in bismuth tungstate catalysts with Bi/W ratios of 2/3, 1/1, 2/1 and 6/1. The first three systems exhibit a mean g value of 2.07±0.04 while the last one does not show any ESR signal. All the systems are diamagnetic. The signals at g=2.03–2.11 are attributed to oxygen ion-radicals chemisorbed (O ₂ ^– ) on W⁶⁺. An attempt has been made to correlate these whith the catalytic activities of the bismuth tungstates in the oxidation of propylene and 1-butene.

Thermal decompositions of kaolinite intercalation compounds

Through a combination of X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis (simultaneous TG-DTG-DTA and quasi-isothermal TG), it was shown that the molar ratio intercalation agent/kaolinite in all intercalation compounds is approximately 1. In a saturated atmosphere of the corresponding intercalation agent, the intercalation compounds are stable up to more than 150 °C.Decomposition of the potassium acetate intercalation compound proceeds simultaneously with the dehydroxylation of kaolinite at an extrapolated onset temperature of 360 °C. The high-temperature reactions (dehydroxylation and transformation) of kaolinite obtained through the decomposition of intercalation compounds with volatile intercalation agents depend on the conditions applied during decomposition.

Zusammenfassung Mittels Röntgenbeugung und thermischer Analyse (simultane TG-DTG-DTA und quasi-isotherme-quasi-isobare TG) konnte gezeigt werden, daß das molare Verhältnis Einlagerungsmedium/Kaolinit in allen Einlagerungsverbindungen etwa 1 ist. In gesättigter Atmosphäre des jeweiligen Einlagerungsmediums ist die Einlagerungsverbindung stabil bis über 150 °C. Die Zersetzung der Kaliumacetat-Einlagerungsverbindung läuft zusammen mit der Dehydroxylation des Kaolinits bei einer extrapolierten onset-Temperatur von 360 °C ab. Die Hochtemperaturreaktionen (Dehydroxylation, Phasenneubildung) von Kaolinit, der aus der Zersetzung von Einlagerungsverbindungen mit flüchtigen Einlagerungsmedien erhalten würde, werden von den Zersetzungsbedingungen beeinflußt.
