Kinetics of propylene oxidation in the region of negative temperature coefficients of the rate

Kinetic regularities in the consumption of initial reactants and the accumulation of propylene oxidation products has been studied in the region of negative temperature coefficients of the maximum reaction rate (T=648–723 K). It has been revealed that for prolynene-enriched mixtures (C₃H₆:O₂=3:1) at P-20.66 kPa, the reaction rate is practically independent of the temperature, whereas for poor mixtures (C₃H₆:O₂=1:5) it decreases with increasing temperature.

Interaction of oxygen with preadsorbed hydrogen on magnesium oxide studied by temperature-Programmed desorption method

The interaction of oxygen with preadsorbed hydrogen on thermally activated magnesium oxide has been studied by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) method. It was found that oxygen at 450 K reacts with preadsorbed hydrogen and the resulting hydroxylation suppresses the adsorptive capacity of magnesia with respect to oxygen.

Determination of the strength of Lewis acid centers via IR spectroscopic measurement of adsorbed pyridine

According to high-temperature IR spectroscopic studies, the isosteric heats of pyridine adsorption on the Lewis centers of Al₂ O₃, ZrO₂ and zeolite HNaY have been estimated. The dependence between the frequency _8a (1580–1630 cm^–1) and the adsorption heat is shown to take place only for centers formed by cations of the same metal.

Calculation of the energy spectrum of surface oxygen on CuO by the interacting bonds method

Using the interacting bonds model a calculation has been made for the energy spectrum of oxygen on the CuO surface. Dissociative adsorption of oxygen can be realized in one and two-center forms with 9.2 and 60.4 kcal/mol, respectively. Intermediate values of the adsorption heats are attributed to oxygen adsorption on induced and biographic defects. The theoretically calculated energy spectrum of adsorbed oxygen is in reasonable agreement with that obtained experimentally from the dependence of isosteric heats of oxygen adsorption on the surface coverage.

ESR study of the interaction of oxygen and propene with solid CoO?MgO solutions under pulse conditions

An ESR study has shown that under the action of oxygen pulses, radical ions O ₂ ^– with g_I=2.0085 and g_II=2.087 are generated at room temperature on the surface of 1% CoO–MgO. Heating of the sample to 150 °C in the spectrometer results in complete disappearance of the O ₂ ^– signal from the ESR spectra. The variation of the O ₂ ^– signal intensity with time due to the interaction between propene and oxygen adsorbed on the sample surface, has been measured.

Über die Trägheitsmessfehler der thermometrischen Methode von reaktionskinetischen Untersuchungen

Zusammenfassung Verfasser haben eine Analyse von Trägheitsmeßfehlern in thermokinetischen Untersuchungen durchgeführt und festgestellt, daß der Trägheitsmeßfehler (im Falle einer diffusionskontrollierten Reaktion) mit einer exponentialen Zeitfunktion dargestellt werden kann und von den Zeitkonstanten des Wärmeaustausches vom Reaktionsgemisch zu den Reaktorwänden und zum Temperaturfühler sowie von der Wärmekapazität des Reaktionsgemisches und Reaktors abhängt. Der Meßfehler ist desto geringer, je mehr sich das Verhältnis der obenerwähnten Zeitkonstanten dem Verhältnis der genannten Wärmekapazitäten nähert und je geringer der harmonische Mittelwert der Zeitkonstanten ist. Die theoretischen Betrachtungen wurden beispielsweise zu einer Analyse des Meßsystems in eigenen thermokinetischen Untersuchungen der kationischen Polymerisation im Zweiphasensystem verwendet.

The authors made an analysis of inertia error in thermokinetic measurements and found that, in the case of diffusion controlled chemical reactions, this error is an exponential function of time, and depends on the time constants of heat exchange of the reaction mixture with the reactor wall and with the thermometer, as well as on the heat capacities of the reaction mixture and reactor. The closer the ratio of the above time constants to that of the heat capacities and the smaller the harmonic mean of the time constants, the smaller is the error of measurement. The theoretical studies were used by way of example to analyse the measuring system employed in one of our recent works concerning investigations on the cationic polymerization process in a two-phase system.

Résumé Les auteurs présentent une analyse des erreurs sur les mesures d'inertie dans les études thermocinétiques. Dans le cas d'une réaction avec diffusion contrôlée l'erreur sur les mesures d'inertie peut être représentée par une fonction exponentielle du temps. Elle dépend des constantes de temps de l'échange thermique entre le mélange réactionnel, les parois du réacteur et le sondeur de température. Elle dépend également des capacités calorifiques du mélange réactionnel et du réacteur. L'erreur de mesure est d'autant plus faible que le rapport des constantes de temps mentionnées ci-dessus se rapproche du rapport des capacités calorifiques indiquées et que la valeur moyenne harmonique des constantes de temps est plus petite. Ces considérations théoriques ont été appliquées au cas de recherches thermocinétiques particulières sur la polymérisation cationique de systèmes biphasés.

Thermogravimetric and kinetic study of a clodronic acid complex formed with sodium

Thermal stability of the clodronic acid complex formed with sodium (Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂ ·4H₂O) was studied using both dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric analyses as well as mass spectra. The thermal decomposition has two stages: dehydration and loss of two molecules of hydrogen chloride. Using the isothermal TG data the first step was found to be a phase-boundary reaction while the second step obviously cannot be described with just one reaction mechanism. The final residue of the dynamic TG analyses above 810 K was found to be sodium metaphosphate.

Zusammenfassung Sowohl mittels dynamischer und thermogravimetrischer Untersuchungen als auch and Hand von Massenspektren wurde die thermische Stabilität des mit Natrium gebildeten Säurekomplexes Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂·4H₂O untersucht. Die thermische Zersetzung vollzieht sich in zwei Schritten: Dehydratation und Verlust von zwei Molekülen HCl. Auf Grund der isothermen TG Angaben ist der erste Schritt eine Phasengrenzreaktion, während der zweite Schritt mit einem einzigen Reaktionsmechanismus nicht eindeutig beschrieben werden kann. Das Endprodukt der DTG Analyse oberhalb 810 K erwies sich als Natriummethaphosphat.

Trapping adsorption of carbon monoxide located between carbon dioxide adsorbed on magnesium oxide

Carbon monoxide adsorbed on MgO is strongly trapped by the adsorbed carbon dioxide, increasing the heat of adsorption from 85.4 to 184.1 kJ/mol. The trapped CO is thought to be captured by two or three adsorbed CO₂ and becomes less active to react with oxygen.

Effect of bromination on the thermal properties of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)

The thermal behavior of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenyiene oxide) (PPO R resin), poly(3-bromo-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide), and a series of their statistical copolymers with identical average molecular lengths has been characterized by thermogravimetry and computer-interfaced differential scanning calorimetry. The heat capacities are found to be additive with respect to the concentrations of the two components. The change in heat capacity at the glass transition ( C _p) is independent of composition for bromination of up to 75% of the repeat units. At higher bromine levels C _p decreases abruptly. This behavior is attributed to the temperature dependence of C _p for the two components. The glass transition temperature (T _g) of the copolymers varies nearly linearly with composition. A comparison of the experimental values ofT _g is made with various equations derived for statistical copolymers and homogeneous polymer blends. A modification of the Couchman equation is presented taking into account the temperature dependence ofC _p.

Zusammenfassung Das thermische Verhalten von Poly(2.6-dimethyl-1.4-phenylenoxyd) (PPO R-Harz), Poly(3-brom-2.6-dimethyl-1.4-phenylenoxyd) und einer Reihe von statistischen Copolymeren dieser Verbindungen mit gleicher durchschnittlicher Moleküllänge wurde durch Thermogravimetrie und Differential-Scanning-Kalorimetrie mit Computerinterface charakterisiert. Die Wärmekapazitäten sind hinsichtlich der Konzentrationen der beiden Komponenten additiv. Die Veränderung in der Wärmekapazität beim Übergang zum Glas (C_p) ist unabhängig von der Zusammensetzung bei Bromierung bis zu 75% der wiederho-lungseinheiten. Bei höheren Bromierungsgraden nimmtC _p abrupt ab. Dieses Verhalten wird der Temperaturabhängigkeit vonC _p der beiden Komponenten zugeschrieben. Die Glasübergangstemperatur (T_g) der Copolymeren verändert sich nahezu linear mit der Zusammensetzung. Ein Vergleich der experimentellen Werte von T_g wird mit verschiedenen für statistische Copolymere und Mischungen homogener Polymere abgeleiteten Gleichungen ausgeführt. Eine die Temperaturabhängigkeit vonC _p berücksichtigende Modifikation der Gleichung von Couchman wird angegeben.

Kinetic model for reaction of aspartic acid with magnesium carbonate in solution

A kinetic model has been developed for describing the non-catalytic liquid-solid reaction between aspartic acid and magnesium carbonate in solution, with parallel dissolution of aspartic acid particles. The effects of size distribution of both the aspartic acid and magnesium carbonate particles have been accounted for by using a population balance model. The parameters of the model have been estimated by fitting them to experimental data taken from literature.

Application of artificial intelligence for the determination of reaction mechanisms

TA curves can be interpreted kinetically by pattern recognition. Readily available symbol strings are compared with those of theoretical curves, stored in a data bank. Such kinetic codes fix the dependences of the mechanistic coordinates on the initial concentration ofone of the reactants; obviously, they are scarcely influenced by the prevailing values of the activation parameters.The foundations for a model-determinating computer program and the experiences with its application are presented. The program reveals the possible homogeneous two-reaction models from an experimental DTA- or non-isothermal UV-series; these are listed in the order of their evidence values. Similarly, the best superpositions of two two-reaction models are determined.

Isomerization-disproportionation of m-xylene over dealuminated mordenites

The isomerization-disproportionation of m-xylene has been investigated over a series of dealuminated mordenites characterized by Si/Al ratios varying from 5 to 15. Catalytic activity increases with the Si/Al ratio and correspondingly also the products of disproportionation. This behavior is interpreted in terms of increasing acid strength leading to a higher activity and selectivity to disproportionation through a common mechanism which involves both a parallel and a consecutive route.
