TPD of ammonia from H-ZSM-5 zeolites deactivated during coupled methanol hydrocarbon cracking (CMHC)

The deactivation of H-ZSM-5 zeolite samples during coupled methanol/hydrocarbon cracking (CMHC) with n-butane as feed has been investigated in two different reaction modes (with intermediate regeneration and without regeneration). TPDA was used to characterize strong Brönsted acidity of fresh, regenerated and steamed H-ZSM-5 zeolite. The prevention of dealumination by blocking the acid centers with carbonaceous products could be proved, but the conversion rate of n-butane and the olefin selectivity declined drastically with increasing coking rate.

Kinetic studies of methylmercaptan production from dimethyl sulfide and H2S

Kinetic regularities of methylmercaptan production from dimethyl sulfide and H₂S in the presence of -Al₂O₃ have been studied under gradientless conditions. A stepwise reaction mechanism is suggested implying that the catalyst surface is methoxylated by methyl sulfide and then CH₃O groups interact with H₂S. The kinetic equation obtained describes fairly well this process on the nonhomogeneous catalyst surface. H₂S -Al₂O₃. , , CH₃O- H₂S. , .     

On the mechanism of water dissociation on the surface of Al2O3. Quantum-chemical calculations

Quantum-chemical calculations of clusters modelling adsorption complexes on the -Al₂O₃ surface have been used to evaluate two points of view on the mechanism of surface dissociation of water molecules on this oxide. The calculations show that this process involves interaction of water molecules with basic surface oxygen atoms rather than with Lewis acid sites.- , -Al₂O₃, H₂O . , .     

Kinetics and mechanism of the ligand substitution reaction of aquodiethylenetriaminepentaacetatoruthenate (III) in aqueous solution

The kinetics of ligand substitution reactions of [Ru(H₂dtpa) (H₂O)] (2) (H₂dtpa=diprotonated diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) were studied as a function of ligand (L) concentration, pH (2.5–8.0) and temperature (30–45 °C) at 0.2 M ionic strength. The equilibrium constants for the formation of mixed ligand complex [Ru^III(dtpa) (L)] (L=2-mercaptopyrimidine, cysteine) and the distribution of various species in solution in the pH range of 2.5–8.0 were computed from potentiometric results.

Salt effects in the reaction between IrCl62? and MnEDTA2?

The oxidation of MnEDTA^2–. (EDTA=ethylenediaminetetra-acetate) by hexachloroiridate(IV) has been studied in concentrated electrolyte solutions at 298 K. The estimation of the activity coefficients of the species from the Stokes-Robinson hydration theory indicates that the observed salt effects have their origin in a greater destabilization of the initial state with respect to the transition state when increasing salt concentration.

Chemisorptive characterization of Mn2+ cation effects on fused iron-catalysts

Volumetric and pulse chemisorptions of carbon monoxide (CO) have been developed to characterize effects of Mn²⁺ cations on an industrial doubly promoted fused iron catalyst. Addition of Mn²⁺ cations induces an increase in Fe dispersity, Fe electronic density and stability of the Mn²⁺-containing iron catalyst, where the same increase is observed by XPS and SEM. These effects explain why the activity of Mn²⁺-containing iron catalysts is improved. Mn²⁺ , . Mn²⁺ Fe, Fe , XPS SEM. . Mn²⁺ .

Thermal analysis of ferrous sulphate heptahydrate in air

The thermal decomposition of ferrous sulphate heptahydrate was carried out in air under dynamic and isothermal conditions. The intermediate phases were identified by chemical analysis and an X-ray technique. Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate is converted to tetrahydrate and monohydrate, but this conversion is accompanied by oxidation. Fe(OH)SO₄ and Fe₂O(SO₄)₂ are formed as oxidation products, and the latter decomposes to ferric oxide directly and/or through Fe₂(SO₄)₃.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Eisen(II)sulfat Heptahydrat wurde in Luft unter dynamischen und isothermen Bedingungen durchgeführt. Die Intermediärphasen wurden durch chemische Analyse und Röntgentechnik identifiziert. Eisen(II)sulfat Heptahydrat wird in Tetrahydrat und Monohydrat überführt, doch wird diese Umwandlung durch eine Oxidation begleitet. Fe(OH)SO₄ und Fe₂O(SO₄)₂ werden als Oxidationsprodukte gebildet und letzteres wird unmittelbar und/oder über Fe₂(SO₄)₃ zu Eisen(III)oxid zersetzt.

Thermal and mechanical studies on the cure time optimisation of polysulphide resin

The effect of two commercially available metal oxide curing agents, PbO₂ and MnO₂, on the cure time, kinetic parameters and ultimate tensile strength of the polysulphide polymer was investigated. The kinetic parameters for the thermal decomposition of the two systems were evaluated from their TG data. Both the energy of activation and pre-exponential factor showed a systematic increase with increase in cure and levelled off after the reaction. The cure time was also followed by determining the mechanical properties of the samples at regular intervals. The ultimate tensile strength values and the kinetic parameters follow similar trend with respect to the cure time. The kinetic parameters and the ultimate tensile strength for the PbO₂ cured polysulphide system were on the higher side.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde der Einfluß von zwei im Handel erhältlichen Metalloxidhärtemitteln. PbO₂ und MnO₂, auf die Aushärtungszeit, die kinetischen Parameter und die Zugfestigkeit von Polysulfidpolymeren untersucht. Die kinetischen Parameter für die thermische Zersetzung der zwei Systeme wurden aus deren TG-Daten ermittelt. Sowohl die Aktivierungsenergie als auch der präexponentielle Faktor wachsen mit fortschreitender Aushärtung ständig an und erreichen nach Verlauf der Reaktion einen konstanten Wert. In gleichmäßigen Zeitabschnitten wurde die Aushärtungszeit auch durch Bestimmen der mechanischen Eigenschaften der Proben verfolgt. In Bezug auf die Aushärtungszeit zeigen die Zugfestigkeit und die kinetischen Parameter einen ähnlichen Verlauf. Die kinetischen Parameter und die Zugfestigkeit von mit PbO₂ gehärteten Polysulfidsystemen zeigen bessere Werte.
