Quantum-chemical studies of olefin activation on gallium oxide

The interaction of propylene with gallium oxide has been studied by the MINDO-3 method using a cluster model. It is shown that the energy barrier against allyl C–H bond dissociation is mainly determined by the Coulomb repulsion between the molecule and the central metal ion. Interaction of the dissociating hydrogen with the oxygen of the fragment ensures the stabilization of the system.

Oxidation stability of crosslinked polyethylene. Isothermal DTA method

Isothermal differential thermal analysis has been used to study the thermooxidative stability of two grades of crosslinked polyethylene in the temperature range from 120°C to 230°C. Induction times of thermooxidative degradation were measured from 2 minutes up to 3590 hours. Oxidation Induction time and mechanical failure in oven ageing experiments coincided over the measured temperature range. The degree of crosslinking was not strongly affected by the oxidative reaction. The Arrhenius-plots of DTA results showed curvature at 150°C, so straight line extrapolations from short-term experiments at elevated temperatures to low temperatures and long times are not possible. Thermoanalytically measured residual thermooxidative stability decreased linearly with ageing time and showed great scattering of the results.

Zusammenfassung Die isotherme Differentialthermoanalyse ist als Methode zur Abschätzung der thermooxidativen Beständigkeit von Polyolefinen seit längerem bekannt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird über isotherme DTA-Messungen an Proben aus vernetztem Polyäthylen im Temperaturbereich von 230°C bis 120°C berichtet, wobei Oxidationsinduktionszeiten bis zu 3590 Stunden gemessen wurden. Die Auftragung der Oxidationsinduktionszeiten in Arrhenius-Diagrammen zeigte für vernetztes Polyäthylen keine für Extrapolationszwecke geeignete Linearität des Logarithmus der Oxidationsinduktionszeiten über der reziproken absoluten Temperatur über weitere Bereiche der Meßzeiten bzw. Prüftemperaturen. Die thermoanalytisch bestimmten Oxidationsinduktionszeiten stimmten mit dem Steilabfall der Reißdehnung in Ofenalterungsversuchen überein während der über den Gelgehalt ermittelte Vernetzungsgrad vom thermooxidativen Abbau nicht signifikant beeinflußt wurde. Somit können aufwendige Ofenalterungsversuche durch experimentell einfache isotherme DTA-Versuche ersetzt werden. Die Messung der thermooxidativen Restbeständigkeit im isothermen DTA-Versuch bei erhöhter Prüftemperatur ermöglicht einen wesentlich deutlicheren Einblick in den thermooxidativen Schädigungszustand eines Polyolefins während der Induktionsperiode des thermooxidativen Abbaus als die Messungen des Vernetzungsgrades oder der Reißdehnung. Die Abnahme der thermooxidativen Restbeständigkeit erfolgt im Fall des vernetzten Polyäthylen in allen Fällen linear über der Alterungszeit.

Catalytic decomposition of N2O on La2Cu0.5M0.5O4 (M=Co, Ni, Cu and Zn)

Decomposition of N₂O has been studied over La₂Cu_0.5M_0.5O₄ (M=Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) between 380 and 485°C at 50 torr initial pressure of N₂O to understand the mutual interaction of two different active metal ions of the same concentration and valence in deciding the physico-chemical and catalytic properties. A multicenter type of adsorption of N₂O has been visualized and it is found that the rate is governed by the electronic factor.

Reaction scheme in the non-isothermal decomposition of (C6H5NH3)4Mo8O26 · 2 H2O

The thermogravimetric decomposition of anilinum octamolybdate has been studied under non-isothermal conditions to elucidate the chemical reactions taking place in the first step of decomposition of the anhydrous compound.The decomposition products were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction.The main decomposition product of aniline turned out to be indole, which is different from the major product in the isothermal decomposition at the same temperature, i.e. N-ethyl-aniline.A dehydrocyclization reaction is suggested as the rate-dependent process. This is probably due to the catalytic effect of the octamolybdate anion.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Anilinoctamolybdat wurde unter nicht-isothermen Bedingungen thermogravimetrisch untersucht, um die im ersten Zersetzungsschritt der wasserfreien Verbindung verlaufenden chemischen Reaktionen aufzuklären. Die Zersetzungsprodukte wurden mittels Gas-Flüssigkeits-Chromatographie, Gaschromatographie-Massenspektrometrie (GC/MS), Infrarotspektroskopie und Röntgendiffraktometrie analysiert. Als Hauptprodukt der Zersetzung von Anilin wurde Indol gefunden, während bei isothermer Zersetzung bei gleicher Temperatur vorwiegend N-Äthylanilin entsteht. Es wird angenommen, daß beim nicht-isothermen Prozeß eine wahrscheinlich durch das Octamolybdat katalysierte Dehydrocyclisierungsreaktion verläuft.

Phasenumwandlungen im system Cu x II Mn 1−x II Fe 2 III (OH)8

Zusammenfassung Die gemeinsam gefällten, ursprünglich amorphen Cu(II)Mn(II)Fe(III) Hydroxide gehen im Verlauf der Alterung durch Kochen in kristalline Phasen über, von denen wenigstens eine den Alterungsprodukten ferromagnetische Eigenschaften verleiht. Da es nicht möglich ist direkt zu entscheiden ob-Fe₂O₃ oder entsprechende Ferrite diese Eigenschaft hervorrufen, ist es notwendig, sich für die Identifizierung der Alterungsprodukte die thermische Instabilität von-Fe₂O₃ nutzbar zu machen. Die an Mn(II) sehr reichen Präparate zeigen einen Temperaturinvervall, in welchem sie überhaupt keine ferromagnetischen Eigenschaften aufweisen. Es ist dies ein Beweis dafür, daß der primär während des Kochens erworbene Ferromagnetismus ausschließlich von-Fe₂O₃ herrührt. Der bei hohen Temperaturen erneut auftretende Ferromagnetismus ist eine Eigenschaft der infolge thermischer Bearbeitung entstehenden Ferrite.

After being boiled in water, the originally amorphous mixture of coprecipitated Cu(II), Mn(II) and Fe(III) hydroxides is transformed into crystalline phases, at least one of them being ferromagnetic. Since it can not be ascertained directly whether this property is due to the presence of-Fe₂O₃ or/and a corresponding ferrite, the identification must be based on the thermally metastable nature of-Fe₂O₃.The species with high Mn(II) contents exhibit temperature ranges in which the ferromagnetic properties disappear completely. This is the proof that the primarily acquired ferromagnetism stems exclusively from a ferromagnetic modification of iron oxide, namely-Fe₂O₃.As a result of thermal treatment at higher temperatures, the ferromagnetism reappears, this time due to the formation of ferrites.

Résumé Les mélanges initialement amorphes des hydroxydes coprécipités de Cu(II), Mn(II) et Fe(III), se transforment, après chauffage dans de l'eau bouillante, en phase cristallines, dont l'une au moins est ferromagnétique. Comme il n'est pas possible de s'assurer directement que cette propriété est conditionnée par la présence de-Fe₂O₃ et/ou du ferrite respectif, l'identification doit reposer sur la nature thermiquement métastable de-Fe₂O₃.Dans le cas des préparations à teneur élevée en manganèse il existe un intervalle de températures où les propriétés ferromagnétiques disparaissent complêtement. C'est la preuve de ce que le ferromagnétisme acquis primitivement provient exclusivement d'une modification ferromagnétique ou d'un oxyde, notamment-Fe₂O₃.Le traitement thermique à des températures plus élevées a pour résultat la réapparition du ferromagnétisme, cette fois dû à la formation de ferrites.

The kinetics of thermal dehydration of bis-salicylato-diaquo complexes of VO(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Mn(II) and Zn(II) were studied. The activation energies and other kinetic parameters were evaluated. The observed kinetic parameters indicate first-order reactions. The activation energy of the thermal dehydration decreases in the sequence VO(II) > Cu(II) > Zn(II) > Co(II) > Ni(II) > Fe(II) > Mn(II), which is also the sequence for the difference in carboxyl group IR frequency.

Effect of water on the desorption of carbon dioxide from the surface of alumina

Based on investigations of temperature-programmed desorption of CO₂ from -Al₂O₃ surface, three forms of CO₂ adsorption differing considerably in quantitative contributions and temperature ranges of desorption have been distinguished. A significant inhibiting influence of water on CO₂ adsorption has been observed. Water adsorption results in gradual blocking of high and medium-energy adsorptive centers of CO₂ on -Al₂O₃.
