Transformations of cyclohexanol on a platinum-alumina catalyst: Effect of poisons

Vapor-phase dehydrogenation/dehydration of cyclohexanol has been investigated over a bifunctional platinum-alumina catalyst. The products of the reactions are cyclohexane, cyclohexene, benzene, cyclohexanone and phenol. Studies using the poisons CO, H₂S and NH₃ have been made in order to elucidate the nature of the sites responsible for the formation of the various products.

Dispersity of (Ru+Pd)/SiO2 catalysts and their properties in CO hydrogenation and ethane hydrogenolysis

The decreased activity of bimetallic catalysts obtained by the interaction of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with Pd/SiO₂ in the synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO and H₂ and in ethane hydrogenolysis compared with Ru/SiO₂ is due to the dilution, of ruthenium by less active palladium atoms.

Thermal desorption of atmospheric organic pollutants enriched on charcoal

A technique of thermal vacuum desorption of charcoal, used in passive dosimeters to enrich organic pollutants of toxicological importance, is described. It combines the advantages of the classic procedure of using highly active charcoal followed by solvent desorption and the environmental one-step procedure of analyzing the whole thermally desorbed sample. For pollutants such as trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, ether, benzene and ethanol, the recovery and reproducibility are satisfactory. The unexpected decomposition of halothane and ethylacetate at higher temperatures is caused by the catalytic activity of the charcoal, but this can be tolerated under constant operating conditions.

Zusammenfassung Eine Methode zum Anreichem toxikologisch bedeutender organischer Luftverunreinigungen durch thermische Vakuumdesorption von Aktivkohle nach dem Einsatz in passiven Dosimetern wird beschrieben. Die Methode kombiniert die Vorteile der klassischen Prozedur unter Verwendung hochaktiver Kohle mit nachfolgender Desorption durch Lösungsmittel einerseits mit denen der Umwelt-Analyse der gesamten desorbierten Probe in einem Schritt andererseits. Für Luftverunreinigungen wie Trichlorethylen, Tetrachlorethylen, Ether, Benzen und Ethanol werden ausreichende Wiedergewinnung und Reproduzierbarkeit ermittelt. Die unerwartete Zersetzung von Halothan und Ethylacetat bei höheren Temperaturen wird auf die katalytische Wirkung der Aktivkohle zurückgeführt. Sie kann unter konstanten Versuchsbedingungen jedoch toleriert werden.

Comportement thermique des benzènesulfonates de lithium,sodium et potassium

Résumé Le comportement thermique des benzènesulfonates de lithium, sodium et potassium a été étudié par TG et ATD à l'air et sous atmosphère d'azote.Dans la zone de stabilité des sels anhydres, nous avons mis en évidence des transformations réversibles (changements de phase cristalline) dont certaines ont fait l'objet de mesures calorimétriques.L'étude des résidus solides de la décomposition a montré une proportion importante de sulfates dans les produits obtenus dans l'air, alors que sous azote, il s'agissait surtout de sulfures. Les sulfites ne se présentent qu'en très faible quantité dans les deux cas.

The thermal behaviour of benzènesulphonates of lithium, sodium and potassium has been investigated by TG and DTA in air and in an atmosphere of nitrogen.We have shown in the stability interval of the anhydrous salts reversible transformations (phase transitions), some of which were quantitatively studied by calorimetry.The radiocristallographic study of the solid residues has shown an important proportion of sulphates in the residues in air and of sulphides in an inert atmosphere. The sulphites were found in very small quantity in both cases.

Sulfite wurden in beiden Fällen in sehr geringen Mengen gefunden.

Thermal analysis in studies of photochemical transformations in PVC

The effects of photochemical processes in PVC in response to UV irradiation at 253.7 nm on its thermal stability were investigated. It was found that small differences in the efficiency of the photochemical processes taking place in the PVC can be recorded in the thermal measurements, and that photodehydrochlorination lowers the temperature of thermal dehydrochlorination, while photooxidation and crosslinking increase the temperature of complete decomposition of this polymer.

Mittels der thermischen Untersuchungen wurde gefunden, daß im Ergebnis der im PVC stattfindenden fotochemischen Prozesse kleine Unterschiede bestehen. Fotodehydrochlorierung vermindert die Temperatur für die thermische Dehydrochlorierung, während Fotooxidation und Vernetzung die Temperatur für die vollständige Zersetzung dieses Polymers erhöhen.

Difference method of evaluation of dynamic integral thermogravimetric curves in decomposition of polypropylene

A new differential method of evaluating integral thermogravimetric records of the formation of volatile products during the degradation of polypropylene in air is presented. The method, applied to 0–100% conversion of the polymer to volatile products, may distinguish the initial presence of low molecular compounds in the polymer, as well as changes in the mechanism of degradation of the material.

Testing the photocatalytic activity of cyanogen-and thiocyanogen-based inorganic polymers

The photocatalytic properties of some cyanogen-and thiocyanogen-based inorganic polymers, such as paracyanogens containing different metals (Hg, Ag, Cu), polythiocyanogens of different iodine contents, polycyanogen and poly (cyanogenthiocyanate), have been tested in two systems. Cu-containing paracyanogen and the iodine-poor polythiocyanogens catalyze the photoreduction of methylviologen under visible light, furthermore the Cu-containing paracyanogen catalyzes the photoreduction of water to hydrogen under UV irradiation.

Kinetics and mechanism of elimination of methoxyphenethyl chlorides in the gas phase

The kinetics for the gas phase elimination of o-and m-methoxy-2-phenylethyl chlorides have been investigated over the temperature range of 390-464°C and pressure range of 38–119 Torr. The reactions in seasoned vessels and in the presence of the free radical inhibitor propene, are homogeneous and unimolecular and follow a first-order rate law. The o-anisyl and p-anisyl substituents at the -position of ethyl chloride assist anchimerically the elimination processes. The formation of a cyclic product, benzodihydrofuran, from o-methoxy-2-phenylethyl chloride suggests an intimate ion pair mechanism operating in this reaction.

Zeolite content determination in kaolinic clays via thermal effects

For application in catalysis and adsorption processes, zeolites are synthesized on the surface of spray-dried kaolin microspheres. Various thermal effects are used for the rapid characterization of the zeolite type and content. From DTA measurements, the exothermic lattice break-down peak gives information on the zeolite type and the thermal stability of the sample. Measurements of the heats of immersion by a very simple and quick method allow conclusions about the type and the sorption properties of the zeolite part of the clay. The most precise method to estimate the zeolite content was a standardized technique of desorption and readsorption of water or organic compounds by means of a thermobalance.

Zusammenfassung Zur Anwendung in der Katalyse und bei Adsorptinsprozessen werden Zeolithe auf der Oberfläche sprüh-getrockneter Kaolin-Mikrokugeln eingesetzt. Verschiedene thermische Effekte werden zur schnellen Charakterisierung des Zeolith-Typs und -Gehalts genutzt. Der exotherme DTA-peak beim Gitterzusammenbruch liefert Informationen über Zeolith-Typ und thermische Stabilität der Probe. Eine sehr einfache Schnellmethode zur Messung der Immersionswärmen erlaubt Schlussfolgerungen über Typ und Sorptionseigenschaften des zeolithischen Anteils des Tons. Die genaueste Methode zur Bewertung des Zeolithgehalts war eine standardisierte thermogravimetrische Desorptions- und Readsorptions-Methode mit Wasser oder organiscen Verbindungen.
