Steam reforming of methanol over Cu/ZrO2. Role of ZrO2 support

Cu/ZrO₂ was highly active and selective for the title reaction. The activity obtained exceeded greatly that obtained over Cu/SiO₂. It was shown that the precursors highly dispersed on zirconia support were readily reduced to very fine particles of metallic copper.

Thermal and X-ray analysis studies of UO3 gel microspheres

The thermal decomposition behaviour of UO₃ gel microspheres has been studied. Thermal analysis involved DTA, TG, DTG and X-ray examination. The effects of washing the UO₃ gel microspheres with hot water and with ammonia solution were investigated, as were the effects of soaking the microspheres in ammonia solution before or after washing on the crystallite size. The results indicate that the thermal decomposition of UO₃ gel microspheres includes five steps: the first two for dehydration, the third for ammonia removal, the fourth for ammonia oxidation and the last step for UO₃ recrystallization.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von UO₃-Gelmikrokugeln wurde mittels DTA, TG, DTG und Röntgendiffraktometrie untersucht. Die Auswirkungen des Waschens der UO₃-Gelmikrokugeln mit heißem Wasser und mit Ammoniaklösungen sowie der Einfluß des Wässerns der Mikrokugeln vor und nach dem Waschen mit Ammoniaklösungen auf die Kristallitgröße wurden untersucht. Die thermische Zersetzung der UO₃-Gelmikrokugeln verläuft in 5 Schritten: in den ersten beiden erfolgt die Dehydratisierung, im dritten die Abgabe und im vierten die Oxydation von Ammoniak und schließlich im letzten Schritt die Rekristallisation von UO₃.

Free radical properties of the magnesium oxide surface, I

Free radical properties of MgO catalysts obtained by thermal decomposition of Mg(OH)₂ in nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen have been investigated. All the oxides show one-electron donor properties (reduction of adsorbed tetracyanoethylene and trinitrobenzene). Only the MgO calcined in oxygen shows one-electron acceptor properties (oxidation of adsorbed perylene). Acetaldehyde transformations were studied on the above catalysts. The MgO calcined in oxygen appeared to be the most active. Presumably, its activity is due to one-electron acceptor centers on the surface.

Variations in the linear size of precipitated catalysis for ammonia synthesis during their reduction and oxidation

According to dilatometric analysis data, it has been shown that at low temperatures both catalyst reduction steps are accompanied by sample expansion. With increasing temperature, the value of the expension effect decreases to zero, and after then only contraction is observed. Mild oxidation of the reduced catalyst at room temperature leads to its contraction.

Poissonian stationary distribution: A degenerate case of stochastic kinetics

There is practically no chemical reaction with independent reaction rates having Poissonian stationary (equilibrium) distribution. There exists, hovewer, a manifold of reactions with dependent reaction rates and with Poissonian stationary distribution. In this case the explicit form of the interdependence between the reaction rates is also given.

Structure of amorphous Fe(III) hydroxides and their ageing products

X-ray analysis has revealed that at pH=7.5–12.0 similar amorphous Fe(III) hydroxides are formed. Their structural peruliarity is the presence of local regions with ordered arrangement of atoms typical for -FeOOH in the volume of primary particles. Ageing at pH=7.5 and 353 K leads to structure rearrangement to -Fe₂O₃.

Reactivity of coordinated O2? ion-radicals in the oxidation of organic compounds

By the flow ESR method, the rates of the reaction of the radical complex Ti(IV)(O ₂ ^– ) with some aromatic compounds in aqueous solution have been measured. An elementary step of these reactions seems to be one-electron oxidation with the formation of a substrate cation-radical.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of triphenylphosphine by hydrogen peroxide

Kinetics of oxidation of triphenylphosphine (TPP) by hydrogen peroside has been investigated in 95 vol. % aqueous ethanol. The reaction is first-order each in TPP and hydrogen peroxide. A mechanism involving a bimolecular nucleophilic displacement of TPP on the peroxide molecule in the rate-determining step is proposed.

Control of the non-crystallinity of miokamycin (9,3″-diacetylmidecamycin) by differential thermal analysis

A mixture of 9,3-diacetylmidecamycin with 9.1% (by weight) ethylcellulose is used for its antibiotic properties, but it is only active in a non-crystalline state, which is a glassy one: DTA showsT _g at 99<T°C< 106.DTA has been used to develop a quantitative method of non-crystallinity control based upon' a linear relation between the crystallinity percentage and the computed algebraic sum of the enthalpies of recrystailization and fusion.It is shown that for binary mixtures with liquidus-type melting curves this procedure is to be preferred to the measurement of recrystailization enthalpy vs. crystallinity percentage.

Zusammenfassung Ein Gemisch von 9,3-piacetylmidecamycin mit 9,1 Gew.-% Ethylcellulose wird wegen dessen antibiotischen Eigenschaften angewandt, ist aber nur im nicht-kristallinen, glasigen Zustand aktiv. DTA ergibt fürT _g99<T°C<106. Die DTA wurde zur Entwicklung einer quantitativen Methode zur Kontrolle der Nicht-Kristallinität herangezogen, die auf einer linearen Beziehung zwischen dem in % ausgedrückten Kristallinitätsgrad und der berechneten algebraischen Summe der Rekristallisations- und Schmelzenthalpie beruht. Es wird gezeigt, daß bei binären Mischungen mit Schmelzkurven des Liquidustyps diesem Verfahren gegenüber der Messung der Rekristallisationsenthalpie in Abhängigkeit vom Kristallisationsgrad der Vorzug zu geben ist.
