Diffusion effects in reversible energy transfer

Back energy transfer reduces the apparent quenching constant, which is an important parameter in the interpretation of energy transfer data. This determination of kinetic results may be erroneous when possible diffusion effects and non-uniform configurational distributions are not taken into account.

Vapor phase oxidation of 2-methylpyridine on vanadyl polyphosphates

Vanadyl -and -polyphosphates in vapor phase oxidation of 2-methylpyridine show comparable activity and selectivity to the formation of pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde as traditional vanadium-molybdeum oxide catalysts. A redox mechanism for the reaction of 2-methylpyridine oxidation on vanadyl polyphosphates is suggested with interaction between 2-methylpyridine and oxygen of the catalyst lattice as the rate-determining step.

Isomerization and hydrogenation of butene-1 on a zirconia aerogel catalyst

Zirconia is well known as a promising support for active metallic centers but it is also by itself an interesting catalyst for reactions involving hydrogen in particular. This paper describes the catalytic properties of ZrO₂-obtained in the form of an aerogel-, towards butene-1-isomerization and/or its hydrogenation at low temperature. Activation at 430°C in vacuum led to the best results in cis-trans isomerization in the temperature range of 80–200°C. It is shown that at temperatures 150°C a carbanion mechanism is operating while at higher temperatures the thermodynamic selectivity is attained. Selective poisoning experiments by NH₃ or CO₂ were carried out in order to identify the catalytic sites for the isomerization of n-butene.

Thermometric study of the dissociation equilibria of the maleinimidodioxime

The values of the dissociation constants of the maleinimidodioxime are potentiometrically determined at various ionic strengths, and extrapolated to zero ionic strength (pK ₁ ^T =10.41;pk ₂ ^T =11.60). From these values and from the thermometric titration curves the enthalpies of neutralization (H _N1=–21.76,H _N2=–23.77 kJ/mol) and the thermodynamic parameters of dissociation of this substance at 25.0 °C are determined ( G ₁ =59.41, G ₂ =66.23, H ₁ =34.06, H ₂ =32.05 kJ/mol; S ₁ =–85.06, S ₂ =–114.64 J/(K mol)).

Catalytic incineration of n-hexane on Pt/Al2O3

The catalytic incineration of n-hexane over a Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst has been studied using a fixed bed reaction. The reaction was carried out in dry air between 250 and 350 °C and at 1 atm pressure. The concentration of n-hexane was between 25 and 300 ppm. The reaction was found to be zero order in n-hexane concentration and the activation energy was found to be 21 kcal/mol. The zero order kinetics can be explained by a surface redox cycle known as Mars-van Krevelen mechanism in which the oxidation of surface Pt is the rate-controlling step.

Non-catalyzed oscillation reaction in the aniline-KBrO3?H2SO4 system. II. Reaction products and their oscillating behavior

By means of thin-layer and gas chromatography the reaction products have been determined in the oscillation system of aniline, KBrO₃ and H₂SO₄. These products include: 2-bromoaniline, 4-bromoaniline, 2,4-dibromoaniline, 2,4,6-tribromoaniline, 1,4-benzoquinone, 2-bromo-1,4-benzoquinone, 2,6-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone and a brominated oxidation product. The brominated aniline derivatives do not exhibit an oscillating behavior, and the addition of these substances to an oscillating mixture damps the course of other oscillations.

Characterization of active species in alumina and silica supported CuCl2 catalysts by EPR

In a recent paper [1] we proposed that a Cu²⁺ species interacting with the support was responsible for maintaining the catalytic activity of CuCl₂ catalysts used in the methane oxyhydrochlorination reaction (CH₄+HCl+O₂ chloromethanes). This species was detected on Al₂O₃ and TiO₂ supports but it did not appear on SiO₂. In this paper we report EPR results which provide a direct characterization of this species and correlate well with the observed trends in activity.

Thermal behaviour of transition metal complexes of dithiocarbazic esters. II

A thermal study (simultaneous TG and DTA measurements) was carried out on the dithiocarbazic ester complexes M[N³CH₂R₁N²C¹(S)SCH₃]₂, where M=Ni, Pt; R₁=C₆H₅. The following disproportionation reaction occurs in the solid state: II is formed through deprotonation of the CH₂ group bound to N³, whereas III is formed through protonation of N³.The influence of inductive and/or steric effects on the mechanism of this reaction is discussed, taking into account the electrochemical and X-ray data on the complexes Pt[NRNC(S)SR']₂ with differentR substituents: R=H, Ph, CH₂Ph, CH₂C₅H₁₁, CH(CH₃)₂, C(CH₃)₃; R=CH₃, CH₂Ph.These results accord with the behaviour of the same complexes in solution.

The pyrolysis of polymers and identification of the soot adsorbed components

Various polymers like polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide 6 and polypropylene were burnt in an open flame furnace according to DIN 4102. The generated soot particles were collected on glass fiber filters followed by elution with tolouene. A great part of the soot extract adsorbed compounds could be identified by means of gaschromatographic and mass spectrometric analysis. For polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene mainly aromatic combustion products like naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene and chrysene were detected in contrast to polyethylene and polypropylene which form aliphatic and olefinic products. In the chromatograms these components are often interfered by superimposition of the aromatics. The extractions of the sample receiver with nitromethane lead to the separation of the aromatic — from the aliphatic compounds. Monomeric and dimeric-caprolactam were mainly formed by burning polyamide 6.

Zusammenfassung Verschiedene Kunststoffe wie zum Beispiel Polyethylen, Polyvinylchlorid, Polyamid 6 und Polypropylen wurden in offener Flamme in 'Anlehnung an DIN 4102 verbrannt. Die dabei entstehenden Russpartikel wurden auf Glasfaserfiltern gesammelt und mit Toluol extrahiert. Durch gaschromatographische und massenspektrometrische Untersuchungen konnten die Hauptbestandteile des Russextraktes analysiert werden. Bei Polyvinylchlorid und Polystyrol handelt es sich vorwiegend um aromatische Verbindungen, wie zum Beispiel Naphthalin, Phenanthren, Pyren und Chrysen. Die Hauptkomponenten des extrahierten Russes von Polyethylen und Polypropylen bestanden aus aliphatischen und olefinischen Produkten, die im Chromatogramm die aromatischen überdeckten. Durch Ausschütteln der Probenvorlage mit Nitromethan konnte eine Trennung der aromatischen von den aliphatischen erreicht werden. Bei der thermischen Zersetzung von Polyamid 6 wurden als Hauptabbauprodukte das Mono und Dimere des -Caprolactams gebildet.

Thermal desorption analysis:

Experiments on water desorption from silicate glass powders of different chemical compositions were carried out by means of DSC. In order to establish the desorption energy distributions, a model of the heterogeneous surface was applied to the thermoanalytical desorption curves, and the results are discussed together with contact angle measurements on flat polished glass samples.The maxima in the desorption curves shift to lower temperature with increasing hydrophobic character; this is caused by divalent cations such as Pb²⁺, Ca²⁺ and Zn²⁺, while alkali metal ions are responsible for an increase in the hydrophilic behaviour.

Reaction specificity in catalysts reported to exhibit strong metal-support interactions

The specific activities of a 10% Ni/TiO₂ and a 10% Ni/SiO₂ catalyst for the hydrogenolysis of n-hexane and for the methanation reaction have been investigated. Both catalysts have very similar activities and selectivities for hydrogenolysis. However, the titania-supported catalyst exhibits a considerably greater specific activity for methanation. It is concluded that this enhancement of activity is reaction specific, and we propose a mechanism involving the adsorption of CO onto the surface of titania.

Thermal studies of lead(II) salts,VI

The kinetics and mechanisms of the thermal decomposition of lead(II) carbonate and lead(II) hydroxide carbonate have been studied over a range of temperatures and partial pressures of carbon dioxide using both isothermal and programmed heating. All stages in each decomposition are diffusion controlled and Arrhenius parameters have been determined. These values for loss of carbon dioxide are all extremely high for a diffusion process, but show a compensation effect, following the equation: logA=–5.02+0.067E The compensation effect is discussed and comparisons with other systems showing such effects are made.

Für einen Diffusionsprozess sind diese Werte extrem hoch, sie zeigen aber einen durch die Gleichung logA=–5.02+0.067E zu beschreibenden Kompensationseffekt, der diskutiert wird. Durch Vergleich mit anderen Systemen wird gezeigt, wie solche Effekte zustande kommen.
