The pattern of methylcyclopentane and n-hexane reactions on Rh/Al2O3 in catalytic runs of various length

Methylcyclopentane and n-hexane were reacted on a Rh/alumina catalyst in a closed-loop reactor. The product composition was analyzed at different moments of the run. In spite of a slow self-deactivation, the distribution of primary products and the depth of hydrogenolysis showed hardly any dependence on the sampling time in the conversion range of 1.5% and 50%. This is discussed in terms of accumulation of hydrocarbonaceous residues and the low readsorption probability of primary products on rhodium surface.     

Catalytic properties of initial and thermosteamed faujasites in n-hexane aromatization

Regularities in n-hexane conversion on decationized Y zeolites under cracking and aromatization conditions have been studied. Possible formation of lower olefins and benzenes in parallel reactions following different mechanisms at low conversion degrees is suggested. The effect of thermosteam treatment on the activity and selectivity of Y zeolites in n-hexane conversion has been examined.

Adiabatic compressibility of critical binary mixtures of nitroethane/isooctane and nitroethane/3-methylpentane

The adiabatic compressibility β_S of nitroethane/isooctane is measured from 18 to 900 Hz at reduced temperatures ? ranging from 5 × 10^-5 to 5 × 10^-2. The zero-frequency compressibility extrapolated from the data is related with the specific heat at constant pressure c_p through the theory of Ferrell and Bhattacharjee (FB). The coupling constant g is evaluated from this relation as 0.38, which agrees with that from the thermodynamic definition of g. β_S at 900 Hz is observed for nitroethane/3-methylpentane at ? 5 × 10^-5-6 × 10^-2. A linear plot of the critical part of β_S against 1n? gives g = 0.34, which agrees with g from the thermodynamic definition and also with that from ultrasonic absorption. Numerical values of the critical and background components of β_S, the isothermal compressibility β_T, c_p, the specific heat at constant volume c_v, and the thermal expansion coefficient α_p are calculated for the two mixtures. The expression of β_S from Anisimov's theory is found to be consistent with that from the FB theory.     

Phase equilibrium properties of binary mixtures containing 1,3-pentanediamine (or 1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane) and water at several temperatures

The vapor pressures of (1,3-pentanediamine + water), or (1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane + water) binary mixtures, and of pure 1,3-pentanediamine or 1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane components were measured by means of a static device at temperatures between (273 and 363) K. The data were correlated with the Antoine equation. From these data excess Gibbs functions (G^E) were calculated for several constant temperatures and fitted to a three order Redlich–Kister equation using the Barker’s method. The (1,3-pentanediamine + water) or (1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane + water) binary systems exhibit negative deviations in G^E for all investigated temperatures over the whole composition. Additionally, the NRTL UNIQUAC and Modified UNIFAC (Do) models have been used for the correlation or prediction of the total pressure.     

Excess molar enthalpies of the ternary mixtures: (diisopropyl ether or tetrahydrofuran)+3-methylpentane+n-dodecane at 298.15 K

Microcalorimetric measurements of excess molar enthalpies, at 298.15 K, are reported for the two ternary systems formed by mixing either diisopropyl ether or tetrahydrofuran with binary mixtures of 3-methylpentane and n-dodecane. Smooth representations of the results are presented and used to construct constant excess molar enthalpy contours on Roozeboom diagrams. It is shown that useful estimates of the ternary enthalpies can be obtained from the Liebermann and Fried model, using only the physical properties of the components and their binary mixtures.     

Vapor liquid equilibrium for the binary systems 2-methylpentane + 2-butanol at 329.2 K and n-hexane + 2-butanol at 329.2 and 363.2 K with a static apparatus

A static total pressure apparatus was build. Isothermal vapour–liquid equilibrium of two binary systems, 2-methylpentane+2-butanol at 329.2 K and n-hexane+2-butanol at 329.2 K and 363.2 K were measured. The results of the 2-methylpentane+2-butanol measurements were compared with earlier measurements made with a recirculation still and good agreement was found. The ability of estimation methods (UNIFAC and modified UNIFAC Dortmund) to predict the measured data was tested. The capability of the original UNIFAC to predict the behaviour of the systems measured was worse than the performance of the modified UNIFAC Dortmund.     

2,3-Epoxyperfluoro-2-methylpentane in reactions with urea and thiourea

2,3-Epoxyperfluoro-2-methylpentane reacts with thiourea in protic (methanol, 2-propanol) and aprotic (dioxane) solvents, and also with urea in acetonitrile affording unexpected products: 1-(2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropionyl)-2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoro-methylethyl)isothiourea, and 1-(2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropionyl)-3-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoro-methylethyl)urea respectively that result from the rearrangement of the intermediately formed ketone in the process of the intramolecular “haloform” cleavage. At the same time in dioxane the 2,3-epoxyperfluoro-2-methylpentane reacts with urea with the formation of a heterocyclic compound, 2-amino-4-pentafluoroethyl-5,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydrooxazol-4-ol. From 1-(2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropionyl)-2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethylethyl)isothiourea and Cu(OAc)₂ a stable fluorine-containing chelate complex was obtained.     

Hydrogenolysis of 3-methylpentane over group VIII metals

Determination of the fragmentation factor in a wide conversion range over Group VIII metals and Re indicated that the single character of the hydrogenolysis of 3-methylpentane is an inherent property of the catalyst and is almost independent of the conversion level. Multiple hydrogenolysis occurs in most cases as rapid subsequent terminal splitting.

Vapor pressures of binary mixtures of carbon dioxide with benzene,n-hexane and cyclohexane up to 7 MPa

The total vapor pressures of three CO₂C₆ hydrocarbon systems; CO₂benzene, CO₂n-hexane, and CO₂cyclohexane systems, have been measured at 273.15, 283.15, 298.15 and 303.15 K over the whole composition range by a bubble point method. For the CO₂n-hexane system, the densities of the liquid mixtures have also been measured. From the data and the calculated results by the Peng—Robinson equation of state, the activity coefficients of CO₂ and the Henry's constants of CO₂ in CO₂C₆ hydrocarbon systems have been obtained. The vapor pressure data have been compared with the results calculated by the Barker's method and by the Peng—Robinson equation of state with the use of four mixing models.

Excess molar enthalpies of the ternary mixtures: methyl tert-butyl ether + 3-methylpentane + (n-decane or n-dodecane) at 298.15 K

Excess molar enthalpies, measured at 298.15 K in a flow microcalorimeter, are reported for the two ternary mixtures formed by mixing either methyl tert-butyl ether with binary mixtures of 3-methylpentane and either n-decane or n-dodecane. Smooth representations of the ternary results are presented and used to construct constant excess molar enthalpy contours on Roozeboom diagrams. It is found that the Liebermann and Fried model also provided good representation of the ternary results, using only the physical properties of the components and their binary mixtures.     

Intermolecular perturbation of CH-stretching diagonal local-mode anharmonicity in 3-methylpentane

CH-stretching overtone spectra of 3-methylpentane are measured for both liquid and low temperature (77 K) solid phases. A local-mode analysis is used to extract the diagonal local-mode anharmonicity constant. The results show that the local vibrational potential is more harmonic at high viscosity.     

Physical properties of (jojoba oil + n-hexane) compared with other (vegetable oil + n-hexane) mixtures

Vapour pressures, densities, and viscosities of (jojoba oil + n-hexane) were measured and correlated over the temperature interval (298.15 to 318.15) K and used to calculate the activity coefficients of the components, excess thermodynamics functions, excess molar volumes, isobaric thermal expansibilities, excess viscosities, and the excess Gibbs free energies of activation for viscous flow. The reported results are compared with the corresponding values for commercial (oil + n-hexane) mixtures (cottonseed, soybean, sunflower, corn, olive, grape pip, Vaseline, and linalool oils) reported in the literature. As a by-product of this investigation, the vapour pressures of 1-methoxy-2-propanol from T = (298 to 392) K, 2-ethyl-6-methylaniline from T = (313 to 448) K, and N-methoxyisopropanol-6-ethyl-2-methylaniline from T = (407 to 535) K were measured using an ebulliometric method. A remarkable similarity between the excess properties for all oils is observed, but the behaviour of the excess thermodynamic functions in the case of (n-hexane + jojoba oil), especially in the n-hexane rich region, is quite different.
