Thermal and thermoxidative decomposition of ternary grafted copolymers of ABS type

The thermal (under high vacuum, 10^–5 mm Hg) and thermoxidative decompositions of ternary grafted copolymers of ABS type were studied, the dependence of the characteristic thermal data on the overall composition being followed over narrow ranges of variation of comonomer content.It was found that the nature of the solid products obtained on thermal decomposition is dependent on the copolymer structure.

Kinetics and mechanism of the permanganate oxidation of trans-crotonic acid

The kinetics and intermediates of the permanganate oxidation of trans-crotonic acid have been investigated in the pH range of 0.5–5.0 using the stoppedflow technique. The formation of manganese(III) as a short-lived intermediate has been established. The reaction is first order with respect to both MnO ₄ ^– and crotonic acid (crotonate). The resolved rate constants at 25°C are 730 and 410 M^–1 sec^–1 for the acid and the anion, respectively. The reaction mechanism is discussed.

Thermal studies on the cubic spinel Fe2MoO4

The cubic spinel Fe₂MoO₄ was studied in air by DTA, DTG, TG and X-ray in the temperature interval 298–1173 K. From these studies, it was concluded that above the Néel temperature Fe₂MoO₄ undergoes an irreversible crystalline phase transition from cubic to tetragonal at 623 K, wherec/a is 1.022. Above 723 K, surface oxidation followed by bulk oxidation of the spinel occurs. At 948 K, after about half the total weight gain due to oxidation, a compound is formed which was confirmed by X-ray as ferrimolybdite, Fe₂O₃·3–4 MoO₃, indicating that in Fe₂MoO₄ the Mo⁴⁺ is more readily oxidized than the Fe²⁺. Above 940 K, further oxidation of Fe²⁺ and Mo⁴⁺ into their respective oxide occurs. About 13 % of the MoO₃ vaporizes, and the rest melts at 1028 K.

Zusammenfassung Das kubische Spinell Fe₂MoO₄ wurde in Luft im Temperaturbereich von 298 bis 1173 K durch DTA, DTG, TG und Röntgen untersucht. Aus diesen Studien wurde gefolgert, daß oberhalb der Neel Temperature ein irreversibler kristalliner Phasenübergang des Fe₂MoO₄ aus der kubischen in die tetragonale Form bei 623 K stattfindet, wobeic/a=1.022 beträgt. Oberhalb von 725 K findet eine Oberflächenoxidierung des Spinels statt, der eine allgemeine Oxidation folgt. Bei 948 K, nachdem etwa die Hälfte der infolge der Oxidation auftretenden Gewichtszunahme erfolgte, wird eine durch Röntgen als Ferrimolybdit bestätigte Verbindung gebildet (Fe₂O₃·3–4 MoO₃), welche zeigt, daß in Fe₂MoO₄ das Mo⁴⁺ leichter oxidiert wird als das Fe²⁺. Oberhalb von 940 K erfolgt eine weitere Oxidation von Fe²⁺ und Mo⁴⁺ zu ihren entsprechenden Oxiden. Etwa 13% des MoO₃ verdampft und das übrige schmilzt bei 1028 K.

Properties of highly dispersed supported catalysts in hydrogenation reactions

Pt/sol and Pt/support catalysts with 6–15 Å Pt particles have been established to be low active in the hydrogenation of propargyl alcohol, butyn-l-ol-3 and dimethylethynylcarbinol. The specific catalytic activity significantly rises with increasing d_Pt above 15 Å and after the thermal treatment of highly dispersed catalysts in a hydrogen flow.

On the mechanism of propylene oxidation over gallium-molybdenum oxide catalysts

The products of selective oxidation are shown to be formed via a stepwise mechanism with participation of surface allylic complexes. A successive transformation of -allyl to -allyl and further to acrolein is possible. The products of complete oxidation may be formed through surface carbonate-carboxylate complexes via either a stepwise mechanism involving the catalyst's oxygen, or a concerted mechanism with the participation of molecular oxygen.

Hydrogenolysis of n-butane on Ni-Pd/SiO2 catalysts

Supported Ni-Pd/SiO₂ catalysts of different Ni and Pd composition were studied in n-butane hydrogenolysis. The reaction rate, selectivity towards methane, ethane and propane were determined. On the basis of these data the relationship between the size and composition of the active center and the possibility of surface segregation of one of the components is discussed.

The conditions and premises of the kinetic evaluation of thermoanalytical curves on the basis of chemical kinetics are demonstrated, and the limits of their availability are pointed out. For reactions with an unclear structural and chemical course, some appropriate definitions of terms are proposed.The possibilities of the use of the inflection points of the reaction rate versus time curve are presented. New methods of determination of kinetic parameters are described, including the ratio of the degrees of reactionx, the ratio of the reaction ratesx and the ratio of the tangent slopesx at these points.

Effect of carbon support on the hydrogen sorption of platinum

The hydrogen sorption of carbon-supported platinum catalysts, studied by the potentiodynamic method, differs significantly from that of unsupported platinum. The difference depends on the preparation method and on the nature of the support. Possible explanations are suggested as (i) some kind of interaction between metal and support atoms during impregnation, (ii) high dispersity (amorphous structure) and (iii) hydrogen spillover onto the carbon support.

Analysis of thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium

Thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium have been analyzed in terms of models accounting for the effect of lateral interactions between adsorbed particles and of their diffusion into the bulk of metal on the desorption kinetics of O₂. Complex configuration of these spectra is ascribed to the processes of formation/decomposition of surface Rh oxides and the diffusion of particles into the near-surface layers of metal and back to the surface.
