Thermal decomposition of thorium(IV) benzenetricarboxylates prepared in various ways

The thermal decompositions of thorium(IV) trimesinate and trimellitate, prepared under various conditions, have been studied. On heating benzenetricarboxylates of Th(IV) decompose in many stages. First, the hydrated complexes lose crystallization water in one, two or four stages, forming anhydrous comtlexes which decompose to ThO₂ with the intermediate formation of ThOCO₃. The dehydrations of the complexes are associated with strong endothermic effects, and the decompositions of the anhydrous complexes are accompanied by exothermic effects.

Zusammenfassung Thorium-(IV)-trimesinat und -trimellinat wurden unter verschiedenen Bedingungen gefertigt und ihre thermische Zersetzung untersucht. Beim Erhitzen zersetzen sich Benzyltricarboxylate von Th(IV) in mehreren Stufen. Als erstes geben die hydrierten Komplexe in ein, zwei oder vier Schritten Kristallwasser ab. Die dehydrierten Komplexe zersetzen sich über das Zwischenprodukt ThOCO₃ zu ThO₂. Die Dehydrierung der Komplexe ist mit starken endothermischen Effekten verbunden, während die Zersetzung der dehydrierten Komplexe von exothermen Effekten begleitet wird.

Moving reaction zone chemistry: The hydroxylamine, sodium thiocyanate, nitric acid system

It is possible to initiate an oxidation reaction in a solution of hydroxylamine and sodium thiocyanate in aqueous nitric acid in a spectrophotometer cell at the meniscus. The thiocyanate and hydroxylamine are oxidised, and nitric acid is reduced to nitrous acid. A narrow well-defined reaction zone develops which then moves at a constant rate downwards through the solution. One of the reaction intermediates, nitrosyl thiocyanate, absorbs at 460 nm so the reaction zone is coloured red and is easily observed. The distribution of nitrosyl thiocyanate within the reaction zone has been studied.

Transport processes in mixed conducting oxides: combining time domain experiments and frequency domain analysis

The conductivity relaxation (CR) method is often used for measuring the surface transfer rate, K_tr, and the bulk diffusion coefficient, for oxygen transport in mixed conducting oxides (MIECs). The time domain analysis of the obtained CR response is rather complex and is based on ideal behaviour for the diffusion process. It is quite favourable to perform the data analysis in the frequency domain, where non-ideal responses are easily recognised. Besides, frequency domain analysis (impedance spectroscopy) can yield reliable parameter estimates. Using a discrete Fourier-transform procedure, the time domain responses can be transformed to a frequency domain impedance-type expression. This approach can be applied to any system for which a driving force and a resulting flux can be defined.Presented at the OSSEP Workshop Ionic and Mixed Conductors: Methods and Processes, Aveiro, Portugal, 10–12 April 2003

Isoparametric kinetic relations for chemical transformations in condensed substances (Analytical survey). II. Reactions involving the participation of solid substances

Various manifestations of the kinetic compensation effect are considered in reactions involving the participation of solid substances under isothermal and nonisothermal conditions, as well as manifestations of other isoparametric correlations. It is shown that isoparametric correlations can be used for the analysis of solid-phase reactions and the exclusion of artefacts in nonisothermal kinetics.

Investigation of the chemisorption of propylene on zinc oxide by temperature-programmed desorption

The interactions of propylene with zinc oxide have been studied by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) under experimental conditions free of inter- or intraparticle limitations or readsorption phenomena.The results indicate that propylene is adsorbed on two types of active sites, and the Arrhenius parameters for the corresponding desorption processes have been calculated; moreover, on the basis of these results, important hypotheses can be made regarding the reaction mechanisms of the total oxidation and the dehydroaromatization of propylene on zinc oxide.The experiments confirm that thermal methods can be successfully used in the interesting and important field of heterogeneous catalysis.

Effect of an admixture on the electrical and thermal properties of triglycine sulphate crystals

The influence of chloroacetic acid amide (AC) on the temperature-dependence of the electrical conductivity (), thermal expansion (_ij) and specific heat ((C _p) of triglycine sulphate crystals was studied in the phase transition range (T _c=49°). The addition of isostructural AC increased the electrical conductivity, decreased the thermal expansion and changed theC _p peak. The mechanism is discussed on a thermodynamic basis.

Cadmium induced changes of the metabolic activity of the freshwater snailPlanorbis corneus estimated by direct calorimetry

By use of f1ow-microcalorimetric studies the effect of cadmium in the sublethal concentration range (0.5-h LC_{5 0} is 1.69 mg/l) on the metabolic activity of the freshwater snailPlanorbis corneus was revealed. The high toxicity was confirmed by the change in the heat production rate (mean value is 453 W/g fresh weigth) in a cadmium perfusate down to a concentration of 0.01 g/l. The decrease in heat output depended on the cadmium concentration and amounted from 19% at 0.01 g/l to 88% at 1000 g/l. The microcalorimetric method proved to be a useful continuous-f1ow technique to assess qualitatively and quantitatively the toxic effects of cadmium on an aquatic organism already 4 hours after exposure.

Thermodesorption of mixtures. Hydrocarbon, hydrogen sulfide and oxygen from the surface of molybdenum sulfide

The presence of hydrogen sulfide and oxygen in mixtures increases the number of sites for dissociative desorption on the surface of MoS₂ as compared with the adsorption of individual hydrocarbons. This phenomenon can be explained by a change in the coordination state of the active sites (molybdenum ions) upon the adsorption of the gases mentioned.

Thermal properties of the clathrate compounds of binary cyanides

The stoichiometry of thermal decomposition of a particular group of clathrate compounds, of the type Cd(en)Pd(CN)₄·2G, with the same coordination component but different clathrate-enclosed components, was investigated. Irrespective of the experimental conditions, the liberation of the enclosed component G always proceeded in one step. Thermal investigation of the decomposition stoichiometry under identical experimental conditions showed that the temperature intervals in which the enclosed components are given off shift to lower temperatures in the order C₆H₅OH=> C₆H₆ > > C₄H₅N > C₄H₄S. Diffraction measurements indicated a considerable change in the structures of the original clathrate compounds after thermal release of the enclosed componentG.

Ungeachtet der Versuchsbedingungen vollzieht sich die Freisetzung der eingeschlossenen KomponenteG stets in einer Stufe. Die unter gleichen Versuchsbedingungen durchgeführte thermische Untersuchung der Zersetzungsstöchiometrie zeigte, daß die Temperaturbereiche, in denen die eingeschlossenen Komponenten freigesetzt werden in der Reihenfolge C₆H₅OH > C₆H₆ > C₄H₅N > C₄H₄S in Richtung der niedrigeren Temperaturwerte verschoben werden. Die Diffraktionsmessungen weisen darauf hin, daß eine beträchtliche Änderung der Struktur der ursprünglichen Klathratverbindung nach thermischer Freisetzung der eingeschlossenen KomponenteG sichtbar wird.

Résumé Dans cette étude on a établi la stoechiométrie de la décomposition thermique d'un groupe particulier de clathrates du type Cd(en)Pd(CN)₄·2G, avec le même composant de coordination et différents composants occlus. Indépendamment des conditions d'expériences, la libération du composant occlusG s'effectue toujours en une étape. L'étude thermique de la stoechiométrie de la décomposition effectuée dans les mêmes conditions d'expériences, a montré que les intervalles des températures dans lesquels les composants occlus sont libérés, se déplacent vers les températures plus faibles dans l'ordre suivant: C₆H₅OH > C₆H₆ > > C₄H₅N > C₄H₄S. Les mesures de diffraction indiquent qu'après la libération thermique du composant occlusG, une variation considérable de la structure initiale des clathrates originaux apparaît.

Acid strength distributions in the Mo?Al?Si and the Ni?Mo?Al oxide systems determined by ammonia adsorption

Acid strength distributions of Mo–Al–Si and Ni–Mo–Al oxide systems have been found by means of a relationship that gives pK_a values from amounts of ammonia adsorption. Molybdenum is suggested to cause a homogenization in the acid strength distribution of alumina but a heterogenization in silicaalumina, whereas nickel is found to neutralize strong acid sites inherent to molybdenum.
