Acetylene adsorption on a clean iridium surface

The interaction of C₂H₂ with a polycrystalline iridium surface at 140 KT500 K has been studied by AES, XPS and UPS. A model of the bonding between C₂H₂ and Ir by the 1 orbitals of the hydrocarbon is proposed. The more pronounced energy splitting between the orbitals of acetylene during adsorption compared to that in the gas phase is ascribed to deformation of the acetylene molecule.

Störeinflüsse bei empfindlichen thermogravimetrischen Messungen mit dem Derivatographen

Zusammenfassung Bei empfindlichen TG-Messungen mit dem Derivatographen Q 1500 D müssen einige Störungen berücksichtigt werden. Der Einfluß folgender Störgrößen auf die Meßergebnisse wird diskutiert: 1. Auftriebsänderungen, 2. Reibungskräfte, die am Probenhalter durch strömende Gase auftreten, 3. Abgabe von Adsorptionsschichten von der inerten Substanz bei simultanen TG-DTA-Messungen. Die Größe der genannten Störfaktoren wurde nach theoretischen Annahmen berechnet und mit experimentellen Werten verglichen. Während der Aufheizung erwies sich als Haupteinflußgröße eine durch Abnahme des Auftriebs auftretende scheinbare Massezunahme. Korrekturmöglichkeiten werden diskutiert. Abhängig von der Aufheizgeschwindigkeit werden im Temperaturbereich bis 300 °C durch Konvektionsströmungen verursachte, beträchtliche scheinbare Massezunahmen beobachtet, die nur mit Hilfe experimentell ermittelter Korrekturwerte kompensiert werden können.

When the Derivatograph Q 1500 D is used for thermal measurements at high sensitivity, some disturbances must be taken into account. The influence of the following processes on the results is discussed: (1) variations in buoyancy, (2) frictional forces on the sample holder caused by streaming gas and (3) loss of adsorbed layers from the inert substance during simultaneous TG-DTA measurements.The effects of these factors have been estimated through theoretical calculations, and the results are compared with the experimental observations.During heating, the main disturbance is a virtual increase in mass caused by decreasing buoyancy. Possibilities of correction are discussed. Depending on the heating rate, in the interval below 300 °C a marked influence of convection currents has been observed, resulting in a virtual increase in mass. This influence can only be corrected by comparison with corresponding experimental values.

Decomposition of dimethyl sulfide in the presence of Al2O3, and catalyst deactivation

The catalytic decomposition of dimethyl sulfide has been studied over the temperature range of 400–500 °C. The main reaction products are methylmercaptane, H₂S and methane. Catalyst deactivation is due to its coking during the reaction. The possibility of oxidative catalyst regeneration at 550 °C has been shown.

Gradient systems are cross-catalytic

If the kinetic differential equation of a chemical mechanism is a gradient system, the mechanism is essentially cross-catalytic. Consequently, rather few conservative (in the Horn-Jackson sense) mechanisms have a kinetic differential equation of the gradient type. Relations with thermodynamics are only briefly mentioned.

Isomerization, dehydrogenation and cracking of methylcyclohexane over HNaY zeolites

On HNaY zeolites the fractions of acid sites which are active for cracking, isomerization and dehydrogenation of methylcyclohexane do not increase linearly with increasing degree of exchange. Isomerization and dehydrogenation seem to involve a similar activated complex, while cracking proceeds through a different one and requires stronger acid sites. Activation energies are independent of exchange degree.

Decomposition of isopropanol on V2O5 of different grain morphology and its relation to o-xylene oxidation catalysts

Decompositon of isopropanol has been studied on V₂O₅ samples of different morphology. It has been shown that the selectivity to acetone increases with the increase in the fraction of (010) plane of V₂O₅ on the sample surface, whereas the selectivity to propene decreases. The results are compared with previous data of o-xylene oxidation on the same samples and discussed in terms of the model of V₂O₅ surface [7].

Adaption of thermal analysis for the study of water vapour adsorption isotherms

Water vapour adsorption processes and equilibria on adsorbents with polar surfaces can be well tested with an adsorption method combined with thermal analysis. The first step involves the comparison of isothermal desorption-adsorption curves and thermal curves; in the second step different equilibrium points of the adsorption isotherms are tested by means of thermal analysis.Some examples of building materials are presented to demonstrate the possibilities of the method. The types of adsorption isotherms for the samples were formally equal in all examples; only the complex method presented was able to reveal that formation of the equilibiria was induced by essentially different processes. Such processes are: physical adsorption depending on the structure of the adsorbent and the activity of the external active centres, chemisorption, chemical reaction in the solid/vapour system and chemical reaction in the water phase condensed in the capillaries.

Zusammenfassung Prozesse und Gleichgewichte der Wasserdampfadsorption an Adsorbenten mit polarer Oberfläche können gut mit einer mit thermischer Analyse kombinierten Adsorptionsmethode getestet werden. Der erste Schritt der Methode schließt den Vergleich der Desorptions-Adsorptionsisothermen und der thermischen Kurven in sich ein, im zweiten werden Gleichgewichtspunkte der Adsorptionsisothermen durch thermische Analyse getestet.Am Beispiel von einigen Baumaterialien werden die Möglichkeiten dieser Methode demonstriert. Die Adsorptionsisothermen waren formell in allen Fällen vom gleichen Typ und nur die vorgestellte komplexe Methode ergab, daß die Ausbildung des Gleichgewichtes durch grundsätzlich verschiedene Prozesse erfolgt. Solche Prozesse sind: von der Struktur des Adsorbenten und der Aktivität der aktiven Oberflächenzentren abhängige physikalische Adsorption Chemisorption, chemische Reaktion im Festkörper/Dampf-System und in der in Kapillaren kondensierten wässrigen Phase.

The compensation effect: A fact or a fiction

In this article, the facts and fictions surrounding the compensation effect is explored. False compensation effect occurs mainly due to: propagation of computational and experimental errors resulting in inaccurate estimates of the Arrhenius parameters; and, the natural compensation between InA andE. Since Arrhenius parameters are sensitive to errors in temperature; the errors due to uncertainty in temperature should be minimized to eliminate false compensation effect. Increasing the experimental temperature range is helpful in minimizing errors due to uncertainty in temperature. A point of concurrence in a plot of Ink and 1/T establishes the occurrence of true compensation effect. True compensation effect has been shown to be a useful tool in chemical research for: identifying the governing reaction mechanism; predicting the effects of various reaction parameters; and, correlating and reducing experimental data.

Zusammenfassung In dieser Mitteilung werden Fakten und Vorstellungen betreffs des Kompensationseffektes untersucht. Falsche Kompensationseffekte werden hauptsächlich verursacht durch: eine ungenaue Ermittlung der Arrheniusparameter durch die Fortpflanzung von rechnerischen und experimentellen Fehlern sowie dem natürlichen Kompensationseffektes zwischen InA undE. Das Arrheniusparameter gegenüber Fehler im Temperaturwert sehr empfindlich sind, sollten Temperaturungenäuigkeitsfehler zur Vermeidung eines falschen Kompensationseffektes minimalisiert werden. Zur Verminderung der aus der Temperaturungenauigkeit resultierenden Fehler ist es von Nutzen, den Temperaturbereich des Experimentes zu erweitern. Ein wahrer Kompensationseffekt wird durch einen Schnittpunkt in einem Ink-1/T Diagramm angezeigt. Es wird gezeigt, daß der wahre Kompensationseffekt ein nutzvolles Mittel in der chemischen Forschung darstellt: zur Feststellung des dominierenden Reaktionsmechanismus, zur Vorhersage der einflüsse verschiedener Reaktionsparameter und zur Aufarbeitung und Schlußfolgerung von bzw. aus experimentellen Daten.

Synthesis of γ-Fe2O3 by thermal decomposition of FeC4H4O6·2.5H2O

Iron(II) tartrate two and a half hydrate (FeC₄H₄O₆·2.5H₂O) was prepared and its thermal dehydration and decomposition were studied with a simultaneous thermal analyser (TG/DTA/DTG) under atmospheres of static air, dynamic dry nitrogen and dynamic air. This study was supplemented with the two-probe d.c. electrical conductivity technique under the same atmospheres. Under all the above atmospheres, the thermal dehydration was found to be a two-step process. However, the thermal decomposition process was quite complicated, involving the formation of various metastable intermediates, including-Fe₂O₃. The final product of decomposition under all atmosphere was-Fe₂O₃.Studies on the physical properties of-Fe₂O₃ were also undertaken.

Die thermische Dehydratation wurde in jedem Falle als zweistufig befunden. Der thermische Zersetzungsprozeß ist jedoch wegen der Bildung verschiedener metastabiler Zwischenprodukte, z. B.-Fe₂O₃, recht kompliziert. Das Endprodukt der Zersetzung war in allen Fällen-Fe₂O₃. Weiterhin wurden die physikalischen Eigenschaften von-Fe₂O₃ untersucht.
