Unexpected variations of the rate of catalytic ethylene hydrogenation on nickel versus the flow-rate of the reacting mixture

Different shapes of the plot rate vs. flow-rate can be obtained for ethylene hydrogenation on nickel. They relate to the presence of oxygen traces and the way they are introduced into the reacting mixture. A previous statement according to which active centers are produced by the conversion of oxygen into water is thus confirmed.

Oxidation of propylene to acrylic acid on a Fe?Mo?Bi oxide system

Data obtained in a flow reactor show that iron(III) molybdate doped by bismuth can oxidize propylene to acrylic acid directly in one step. Part of the catalyst works in a partially reduced form and in the preparation of the catalyst the surface acidity must be controlled.

Platinum-palladium catalysts for hydrogen fuel cell electrodes

Five series of Pt–Pd/C catalysts were prepared with different total metal loading and different atomic composition in Pt and Pd. The activity in electrooxidation of hydrogen were measured for all these catalysts. Electrooxidation of hydrogen is a structure insensitive reaction on platinum and a structure sensitive reaction on palladium. For bimetallic catalysts, curves of activity as a function of the composition of the catalyst can exhibit a maximum. Yet, metal loading can alter the atomic composition at which activities are maxima.

Thermal decomposition kinetics of sodium metaperiodate

Aged and fresh samples of sodium metaperiodate are subjected to thermal decomposition studies in air by TG, DTG and DTA techniques. The kinetic parameters for their decomposition have been evaluated by weighted least squares method using equations of Coats-Redfern, Horowitz-Metzger and Freeman-Carroll. The results indicate that, within the limits of experimental error, ageing did not change the E^* values considerably.

Phase equilibria in the V2O5-Cr2O3 system

The phase equilibria in the total range of component concentrations in the V₂O₅-Cr₂O₃ system up to 1000 °C were studied by means of phase powder diffraction and DTA. Two compounds exist in the system: CrVO₄, melting incongruently at 860±5 °C, and Cr₂V₄O₁₃, which decomposes in the solid state at 640±5 °C to CrVO_4(s) and V₂O_5(s). At 645±5 °C, CrVO₄ and V₂O₅ form a eutectic mixture with the CrVO₄ content not exceeding 2% mol.

Thermal conductivity measurements on samples with low cross-sections

A simple, low-cost apparatus has been designed and constructed for measurement of the thermal conductivities of samples with low cross-sections (10^–7 m²). This apparatus has been used to determine variations in the thermal conductivity of the metallic glass Fe₈₀B₂₀ (Metglas 2605) in the crystallization process induced by thermal treatment.In spite of the simplicity, the deviations from the real values of thermal conductivities measured have been lower than 8%, which has proved to be satisfactory for establishing the glass formation, temperature, T₈, from changes in thermal conductivity.

Influence of the gas phase on metallic reference electrodes used in work function measurements

Contact potential differences between electrodes of Pt, Au and Ta of different surface finishing were measured by the dynamic condenser method in propylene and oxygen. Propylene is irreversibly adsorbed, thus changing the work function. This renders the electrodes unsuitable as standard electrodes for work function measurements on catalysts in the atmosphere of hydrocarbons, but they may be used in adsorption studies on oxygen.

Effect of deuteration on the thermal dehydration of lithium sulfate monohydrate

Effects of deuteration on the thermal stability, enthalpy change and kinetic parameters for the thermal dehydration of Li₂SO₄·H₂O were examined by means of TG and DSC. The enthalpy change for the monohydrate was smaller by 1.63±0.75 kJ/mol than that for the monodeuterate. The rate constant for the monohydrate was a little larger than that for the monodeuterate. However, the thermal stability, activation energy and frequency factor were practically unaffected by deuteration of the hydrate. It is suggested that the activation entropy as well as the activation energy should be considered in explaining the kinetic deuterium isotope effect in the thermal dehydration of Li₂SO₄·H₂O.

Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung der Deuterisierung auf die Thermostabilität, die Enthalpie-Änderungen und kinetischen Parameter der thermischen Dehydratisierung von Li₂SO₄·H₂O wurden durch TG und DSC untersucht. Die Enthalpie-Änderung für das Monohydrat wurde um 1.63±0.75 kJ/mol niedriger gefunden als für das Monodeuterat. Die Geschwindigkeitskonstante für das Monohydrat war etwas größer als für das Monodeuterat. Die Thermostabilität, die Aktivierungsenergie und der Frequenzfaktor wurden jedoch von der Deuterisierung des Hydrats praktisch nicht beeinflußt. Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß bei der Erklärung des kinetischen Deuterium-Isotop-Effekts bei der thermischen Dehydratisierung von Li₂SO₄·H₂O sowohl die Aktivierungsentropie als auch die Aktivierungsenergie berücksichtigt werden müssen.

Simultaneous TG,DTG, DTA and EGA examination of argillaceous rocks. Part I

The suggested new measuring technique is based on the fact that in the course of the decomposition of clays only three gaseous decomposition products, i.e. SO₃ (SO₂), CO₂ and H₂O are being formed. By thermogastitrimetry the liberation process of the two former products is traced, while by means of a water detector the water released is determined in a selective way. Thus the overlapping processes can be separated. Interpretation and evaluation of the curves can be further improved by performing the examinations in N₂ and O₂ atmospheres respectively, which offers a possibility to conduct the reactions into another direction.

Zusammenfassung Das empfohlene neue Meßverfahren basiert auf der Tatsache, daß im Verlauf der Zersetzung von Tonerde nur drei verschiedene gasförmige Produkte gebildet Werden: SO₃ (SO₂), CO₂ und H₂O. Der Prozeß der Freisetzung der beiden ersteren Produkte wird durch Thermogastitrimetrie verfolgt, das freigesetzte Wasser wird selektiv über einen Wasserdetektor bestimmt. Die einander überlagerten Prozesse können somit separat betrachtet werden. Interpretation und Ausweitung der Kurven können weiter verbessert werden, indem die Untersuchung auch in Stickstoff- und Sauerstoffatmosphäre durchgeführt wird, was die Möglichkeit darbietet, den Verlauf der Reaktion in eine andere Richtung zu leiten.

Thermal effects on glass As2Se3·As2Te3

The DTA trace of the chalcogenide glass As₂Se₃·As₂Te₃ shows a single glass transition at 142 °C, a single crystallization exotherm depending on the heating rate, and two melting endotherms, at 290 °C and 312 °C. The X-ray diffraction for a crystallized sample indicates the presence of two solid solution phases: Te in As₂Se₃ (rich in Se) and Se in As₂Te₃ (rich in Te), confirming that the single crystallization peak of the initially homogeneous phase (singleT _g ) represents two coincident peaks superimposed. The crystallization of the glass phase is also clearly manifested in the time-dependence of the electrical conductivity and microphotography.

Röntgendiffraktometrie der kristallisierten Probe zeigt das Vorliegen von zwei Phasen fester Lösungen:Te in As₂Se₃ (reich an Se) und Se in As₂Te₃ (reich an Te). Das steht in Übereinstimmung damit, daß der Kristallisationspeak der ursprünglich homogenen Phase (einT _g -Wert) zwei sich überlagernde Peaks repräsentiert. Die Kristallisation der Glasphase ist klar an der Zeitabhängigkeit der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit und durch Mikrophotographie zu erkennen.

La and Zn promotion of Ru Fischer-Tropsch catalysts

An investigation of the use of La- and Zn-promoters for Ru/SiO₂ F-T catalysts has been carried out. It was found that, while the use of a La-promoter did not result in any improvement over the use of a K one, Zn-promotion resulted in much higher yields of olefins. The CH₄ and olefin selectivities of the Zn-promoted Ru/SiO₂ were essentially insensitive to temperature over the range 250–320 °C. The Zn-promoted catalyst was found to have many of the same catalytic properties previously found for Ru/ZnO, but was much more active. Thus, it is possible to achieve certain interesting catalytic properties for Ru by the use of Zn-promotion without having to make use of the low surface area support ZnO.
