The thermal conductivities of bulk technical samples of polytetrafluoroethylene and polychlorotrifluoroethylene were measured in the temperature range 4.2–20 K by application of the steady-state method. An interpretation of the thermal conductivity data in terms of the available theoretical and empirical models is presented.

Kinetic parameters of the thermal decompositions of nitritonickelates(II)

Kinetic parameters of thermal decomposition of compounds of general formulaM ₂ ^I M ^II[Ni(NO₂)₆], whereM ^I= K⁺, Rb⁺ or Cs⁺ andM ^II= Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺ or Ba²⁺, were investigated on the basis of the respective thermal curves. Calculations of the reaction order and activation energy carried out by the Coats-Redfern method and by Doyle's method (modified by Zsakó) gave similar results, The reaction order is 2 for all the compounds investigated. In the group of potassium salts the activation energy increases fromM ^II=Ca²⁺ toM ^II=Ba²⁺. In the groups of rubidium and caesium salts, the lowest activation energy is observed whenM ^II=Sr²⁺. Such behaviour of the nitritonickelates is explained in terms of structures and the principle of maximum density.

Zusammenfassung Die kinetischen Parameter der thermischen Zersetzung von Verbindungen der allgemeinen FormelM ₂ ^I M ^II [Ni(NO₂)₆] (M ^I= K⁺, Rb⁺ oder Cs⁺ und M^II = =Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺ oder Ba²⁺) wurden auf Grund der entsprechenden thermischen Kurven untersucht. Die an Hand der Coats-Redfern Methode und der durch Zsakó modifizierten Doyleschen Methode durchgeführten Berechnungen der Reaktionsordnung und der Aktivierungsenergie ergaben ähnliche Resultate. Die Reaktionsordnung ist 2 für sämtliche untersuchten Verbindungen. In der Gruppe der Kaliumsalze steigt die Aktivierungsenergie vonM ^II=Ca²⁺ in RichtungM ^II=Ba²⁺ an. In der Gruppe der Rubidium- und Caesiumsalze wird die niedrigste Aktivierungsenergie beiM ^II=Sr²⁺ beobachtet. Dieses Verhalten der Nitritonickelate wird durch die Strukturen und das Prinzip der maximalen Dichte erklärt.

The kinetic parameters for the condensation of benzaldehyde with 3,3-bis-(chloromethyl)oxacyclobutane have been determined. It has been established by competition methods that aliphatic and p-substituted (Br, OCH₃, OC₂H₅) aromatic aldehydes are more reactive than benzaldehyde. The proposed rate-determining step involves nucleophilic attack on a hydroxyalkyl (aryl) carbonium ion.

     

Kinetics of the thermal decomposition of alkaline earth metal hydrofluorides

The thermal stability of alkaline earth metal hydrofluorides was studied by means of a Derivatograph. The values of the activation energy, reaction order and rate constant were determined. The comparison of the kinetic parameters of the decomposition process for the complete series of hydrofluorides studied led to a certain regularity in the differences in their thermal stabilities and its correlation with the strength of the hydrogen bond in their structure.

Der Vergleich der kinetischen Parameter des Zersetzungsvorganges wies auf eine gewisse Regelmäßigkeit in ihrer verschiedenen thermischen Stabilität, die in Zusammenhang mit der Stärke ihrer strukturalen Wasserstoffbindung steht.

Résumé On a étudié la stabilité thermique des hydrogénofluorures des métáux alcalinoterreux et déterminé les valeurs des énergies d'activation, des ordres de réaction et des constantes de vitesse de réaction à l'aide d'un Dérivatographe. Après comparaison des paramètres cinétiques on a pu établir une certaine régularité dans le changement de la stabilité thermique en corrélation avec la force de liaison de l'hydrogène dans la structure.

Fossil age determination by thermal analysis

Subsequent to a comparative examination of recent bone material the author has recently completed the paleobiogeochemical evaluation of classical Quaternary and Pliocene terrestrial fossils of vertebrata from Hungary. A derivatograph (MOM) has been used to determine two thermoanalytical parameters which are closely associated with the passage of geological time: the total bound organic-matter content of the fossil and the fossilization cofficient.Derivatographic measurement of the organic matter in the bones is supplemented by fine-structure analysis of bone-tissue slides.Sample material of unknown age from several provenances was evaluated with the new dating method. The importance of the procedure is even greater in cases when only indefinite sporadic finds can be obtained from the sediments.

Zusammenfassung Nach einer vergleichenden Untersuchung an neuzeitlichem Knochenmaterial hat der Autor kürzlich die paleobiogeochemische Auswertung der klassischen Quaternären und Pliocenen terrestren Fossilien von Vertebraten aus Ungarn ergänzt.Ein Derivatograph (MOM) wurde zur Bestimmung zweier thermoanalytischer Parameter eingesetzt, die eng mit dem Fortschreiten der geologischen Zeit verbunden waren: dem Gesamtgehalt an gebundenem organischem Material und dem Fossilisationskoeffizienten.Die derivatographische Messung der organischen Substanz in den Knochen wurde durch die Feinstrukturanalyse von Knochengewebeschnitten ergänzt.Probenmaterial unbekannten Alters verschiedener Herkunft wurde mit der neuen Methode ausgewertet. Die Bedeutung des Verfahrens ist in den Fällen noch grösser, wenn aus den Sedimenten nur unbestimmte sporadische Funde erhalten werden können.

The thermometric and enthalpimetric determination of organic compounds

Two main parameters determine the methods for the assay of organic compounds in industrial systems; these are the rates of reaction of the molecular organic and often non-aqueous systems which differ from those in ionic and aqueous systems, and secondly, the fact that in most organic systems an organic functional group is required to be determined by a general method applicable to the functional group in a variety of chemical environments. In pharmaceutical products it is desired to determine the functional groups without prior separation from excipients of various kinds and to obtain rapid assays, often with precision much lower than those normally required in inorganic systems. These methods are discussed with examples taken from the foodstuff industry, the pharmaceutical industry, etc.

Catalytic activity of honeycomb catalysts, I. The benzene-cyclohexane (de)hydrogenation reaction

Monolithic supported platinum catalysts were investigated with respect to their hydrogenation and dehydrogenation activity towards benzene and cyclohexane, respectively, between 250° and 350°C. Conversion of benzene to cyclohexane is optimal for the volume ratio H₂/Bz=5 at lower temperatures. In the cyclohexane dehydrogenation reaction, high temperatures, associated with lower N₂/Cy ratios, are beneficial. No byproducts were observed in the two reactions.

Preparation of hydrogenation Pt/activated carbon catalyst from a platinum complex

Both H₂PtCl₆ and (-C₃ H₅)₂ Pt(II) were employed for preparation of Pt/activated carbon hydrogenation catalysts. The Pt distribution, Pt dispersity and catalytic activity in liquid phase hydrogenation were investigated. The catalysts prepared from the organometallic compound were found to have higher Pt dispersity and catalytic activity.
