Nitrogen Trichloride Decomposition in the Presence of Molecular Hydrogen: I. Promotion of Nitrogen Trichloride Decomposition by Molecular Hydrogen Additives Near the Lower Self-Ignition Limit

The promotion of the branched-chain decomposition of nitrogen trichloride by molecular hydrogen additives at room temperature and 20 torr manifests itself in a decrease in the induction period and the acceleration of reactant consumption with an increase in the hydrogen concentration in the NCl₃+ H₂+ He mixtures. The emission spectrum of the H₂+ NCl₃flame contains the intense bands of NCl (b ¹⁺– X ^3–, = 1 – 0, = 0 – 1, and = 0 – 0, where is the vibrational quantum number) and the bands of a hydrogen-free compound. The latter bands can be assigned to electronically excited NCl ₂radicals formed in the H + NCl₃reaction. The calculations restrict the number of elementary reactions favoring promotion. The promotion effect in the system studied should be due to the side reaction of linear branching. The occurrence of the H + NCl₃reaction via two pathways (NHCl + 2Cl and NCl ₂+ HCl) ensures the qualitative agreement between the experimental data and calculation.

Hydrogen adsorption on chromia-supported iridium catalyst

Effect of thermal pretreatment of chromia-supported iridium catalyst on hydrogen adsorption was studied. It was found that the hydrogen uptake by Ir/Cr₂O₃ was highly dependent on the reduction temperature. The catalyst proved to be resistant to sintering in oxygen atmosphere at temperatures up to 700 °C and it showed symptoms of redispersion even at 650 °C.

Hydrogen peroxide and ammonia on protonated ice clusters

A temperature controlled source for protonated water clusters has been combined with high-resolution mass spectroscopy to study the stability pattern of ice clusters and compounds with ammonia and hydrogen peroxide depending on temperature. The stability pattern of pure protonated ice shows the two well known peaks at 21 and 28 molecules and also less pronounced structure up to n=55. Ammonia and hydrogen peroxide do not destroy this pattern but shift it by a number of water molecules. The additives are therefore integrated in the persisting crystalline structure of the pure protonated ice. Based on this structural information, density functional theory calculations reveal that hydrogen peroxide and ammonia occupy surface positions on a dodecahedral 21-molecule cluster and are not caged in the center.

The Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide. A non-linear dynamic model

All thermal systems are subject to problems of thermal regulation. These can be understood through the use of thermochemical systems, in particular for those in the liquid phase. A dynamic linear model was earlier applied to obtain both the reaction enthalpy and the rate constant at constant temperature for the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. This first model did not yield a good fitting between the calculated and experimental data. The hypothesis that the rate constant was independent of temperature was too strong. In the present study, a more elaborate, non-linear model was developed, which takes into account the rate constant variations as a function of temperature (Arrhenius law). This model allowed the activation energy to be determined. The calculated data then successfully fitted the experimental data. The literature indicates that the first-order rate law is not valid for a certain range of concentrations; the present model verified this. The results of dynamic modelling confirm and increase the precision of results obtained in different ways. The developed model is validated through these comparisons. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Hydrogen adsorption on Dy and Tm films

Variations in resistivity R and work function of thin Tm and Dy films due to H₂ adsorption on their surface at 77 K have been studied. It is suggested that on most surfaces hydrogen is strongly adsorbed as H^–, and only below 10% monolayer is its weakly adsorbed form H ₂ ⁺ . The observed decrease of is attributed to H^– penetrating into lattice vacancies and surface cavities.

Hydrogen adsorption on carbon-doped boron nitride nanotube

The adsorption of atomic and molecular hydrogen on carbon-doped boron nitride nanotubes is investigated within the ab initio density functional theory. The binding energy of adsorbed hydrogen on carbon-doped boron nitride nanotube is substantially increased when compared with hydrogen on nondoped nanotube. These results are in agreement with experimental results for boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) where dangling bonds are present. The atomic hydrogen makes a chemical covalent bond with carbon substitution, while a physisorption occurs for the molecular hydrogen. For the H(2) molecule adsorbed on the top of a carbon atom in a boron site (BNNT + C(B)-H(2)), a donor defect level is present, while for the H(2) molecule adsorbed on the top of a carbon atom in a nitrogen site (BNNT + C(N)-H(2)), an acceptor defect level is present. The binding energies of H(2) molecules absorbed on carbon-doped boron nitride nanotubes are in the optimal range to work as a hydrogen storage medium.     

Protein adsorption on novel acrylamido-based polymeric ion-exchangers. I. Morphology and equilibrium adsorption

The protein uptake equilibrium and particle morphology are determined for novel polymeric ion-exchange media based on acrylamido monomers with a high density of functional groups and a variety of morphological characteristics. The study considers two anion-exchangers and a cation-exchanger. Physical properties determined experimentally include particle density, ion-exchange capacity, particle size distribution, and equilibrium isotherms for model proteins. The pore structure was evaluated using size exclusion chromatography with neutral probe molecules and transmission electron microscopy. For the anion-exchangers, two types of structures were inferred. The first is comprised of particles that contain a low-density gel supported by denser polymer aggregates. This material had a very low size-exclusion limit for neutral probes, but exhibited an extremely high and reversible protein adsorption capacity (280-290 mg BSA/ml). The second structure is comprised of particles with large, open macropores. While the size-exclusion limit was very high, the protein adsorption capacity was low (60 mg BSA/ml). Moreover, the adsorption was nearly irreversible. The physical structure of the cation-exchanger appeared to be intermediate between those of the anion-exchangers, containing both large pores and smaller pores yielding an intermediate, but reversible, protein uptake capacity (120-130 mg alphaCHY/ml). The different behavior of these materials with regards to protein adsorption correlates well with their physical structure. For these ion-exchangers, high protein adsorption capacities are attained when a low-density polymer gel with a high concentration of functional groups is present.

Hydrogen adsorption on functionalized nanoporous activated carbons

There is considerable interest in hydrogen adsorption on carbon nanotubes and porous carbons as a method of storage for transport and related energy applications. This investigation has involved a systematic investigation of the role of functional groups and porous structure characteristics in determining the hydrogen adsorption characteristics of porous carbons. Suites of carbons were prepared with a wide range of nitrogen and oxygen contents and types of functional groups to investigate their effect on hydrogen adsorption. The porous structures of the carbons were characterized by nitrogen (77 K) and carbon dioxide (273 K) adsorption methods. Hydrogen adsorption isotherms were studied at 77 K and pressure up to 100 kPa. All the isotherms were Type I in the IUPAC classification scheme. Hydrogen isobars indicated that the adsorption of hydrogen is very temperature dependent with little or no hydrogen adsorption above 195 K. The isosteric enthalpies of adsorption at zero surface coverage were obtained using a virial equation, while the values at various surface coverages were obtained from the van't Hoff isochore. The values were in the range 3.9-5.2 kJ mol(-1) for the carbons studied. The thermodynamics of the adsorption process are discussed in relation to temperature limitations for hydrogen storage applications. The maximum amounts of hydrogen adsorbed correlated with the micropore volume obtained from extrapolation of the Dubinin-Radushkevich equation for carbon dioxide adsorption. Functional groups have a small detrimental effect on hydrogen adsorption, and this is related to decreased adsorbate-adsorbent and increased adsorbate-adsorbate interactions.

Decomposition channels for multiply charged ammonia clusters

Multiply charged ammonia cluster ions are produced by adiabatic nozzle expansion and subsequent ionization by electron impact. They are analyzed in a double focussing sector field mass spectrometer (reversed geometry). Doubly charged clusters are only detected above a critical size of 51 and triply charged clusters above 121. Some of these multiply charged ions decay via metastable dissociation processes in the experimental time window accessible. Doubly charged ammonia clusters with sizes ofn≧51 lose one neutral monomer or, roughly ten times less probable, two neutral monomers. Conversely, triply charged ammonia clusters with sizes 110≦n≦120 show an extremely asymmetric Coulomb dissociation resulting in doubly charged cluster ions of about 90% of the initial mass
