Thermal decomposition of ammonium uranates

The thermal decomposition of ammonium uranates precipitated from uranyl nitrate solution on the addition of aqueous ammonium hydroxide and hexamine under various conditions has been studied by means of thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Although all precipitates show the composition corresponding to UO₃ · NH₃ · H₂O, the precipitates with hexamine give X-ray diffraction patterns designed as types I and II, in which type I is similar to the precipitates with ammonia. As a result, it is concluded that ammonium uranates thermally decompose to amorphous UO₃ at about 400°, and transform to U₃O₈ via-UO₃ and/or-UO₃, latter being formed in the case of type II only.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von unter verschiedenen Bedingungen durch wässrige Lösungen von Ammoniumhydroxid und Hexamin aus Uranylnitrat-Lösung gefällten Ammoniumuranaten wurde mittels TG, DTA, IR-Spektroskopie und Röntgendiffraktometrie untersucht. Obwohl die Zusammensetzung aller Niederschläge der Formel UO₃ · NH₃ · H₂O entspricht, geben die mit Hexamin gefällten Niederschläge die als Typ I und II bezeichneten Röntgendiffraktogramme, von denen das des Typs I ähnlich dem der mit Ammoniak gefällten Niederschlage ist. Es wird festgestellt, daß Ammoniumuranate bei 400° thermisch zu amorphen UO₃ zersetzt werden und sich über-UO₃ und/oder-UO₃—wobei beim Typ II nur das letztere gebildet wird — in U₃O₈ umwandeln.

Effect of pressure on the rate of n-heptane conversion on Pt/Al2O3 catalysts

The effect of pressure on the rates of product formation in n-heptane conversion on Pt/Al₂O₃ has been studied at 490 °C over the pressure range of 10–50 atm. It has been shown that the rate of isomerization is practically independent of pressure, and the dependence of the rates of dehydrocyclization and hydrocracking on pressure is described by simple kinetic equations. The reaction order of dehydrocyclization with respect to hydrogen tends to –2.0 at high pressures.

Oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide: A tpr study on fresh and aged catalysts

The deactivation of a silver catalyst was investigated after six years of industrial production of ethylene oxide. Temperature-programmed reduction was used to characterize the chemical nature of the silver and its reactivity towards oxygen. The fresh and some aged catalysts were examined, also after different thermal treatments.During the industrial run, the surface species were modified and some oxygen diffused into the bulk of the metal. Aging caused permanent changes in the characteristics of the silver, resulting in a different interaction with oxygen. The TPR spectra exhibited a trend along the reactor axis, suggesting a correlation with the degree of deactivation of the catalyst.

Zusammenfassung Die Desaktivierung eines Silberkatalysators wurde nach 6-jährigem Einsatz zur industriellen Produktion untersucht. Temperaturprogrammierte Reduktion wurde angewandt, um die chemische Natur des Silbers und dessen Reaktivität gegenüber Sauerstoff zu charakterisieren. Frische und einige gealterte Katalysatoren wurden nach verschiedenen thermischen Vorbehandlungen untersucht. Die Alterung verursachte bleibende Veränderungen in charakteristischen Eigenschaften des Silbers, was in der unterschiedlichen Wechselwirkung mit Sauerstoff zum Ausdruck kommt. Die TPR-Resultate zeigen einen Trend entlang der Reaktorachse, was auf eine Korrelation mit dem Grad der Desaktivierung des Katalysators hindeutet.

The role of lattice and adsorbed oxygen in the oxidation of n-butene-1 and furan with MnMoO4-based catalysts

In this paper the adsorption properties towards oxygen and the catalytic oxidation properties of furan and n-butene-1 on a MnMoO₄-based catalyst have been compared. Different forms of adsorbed oxygen are responsible either for the oxidation of furan to maleic anhydride or of furane and n-butene-1 to carbon oxides.

Activity of tungstate catalysts in the synthesis of metylmercaptane from methanol and hydrogen sulfide

Catalysis obtained by impregnation of Al₂O₃ with solutions of hepta-, dodeca-, meta- and normal alkaline metal tungstates showed approximately the same activity. Most selective towards methylmercaptane were catalysts with an alkaline metal to tungsten atomic ratio equal to 21.

Alkylation of toluene with ethylene on HZSM-5

Alkylation of toluene with ethylene on unmodified large-crystal HZSM-5 has been studied in a flow system at 673 K, atmospheric pressure. The yield of ethyltoluenes increased and that of benzene and xylenes decreased with time on stream. This change in yields was accelerated by increasing the ethylene content of feed and by pretreating the catalyst with ethylene. Selectivity for toluene ethylation increase with increasing space velocity.

Le systeme eau-theophylline

The binary system water—theophylline was studied by DTA and radiocrystallography. The slow dehydration of theophylline monohydrate was observed at room temperature at relative humidities lower than 60%, without the formation of any other hydrate. The isochoric phase diagram was established. At 78 °C, a peritectic invariant occurred, owing to decomposition of the monohydrate. The existence of only one binary compound (theophylline H₂O) was confirmed by the.Tammann diagram.

The influence of non-equilibrium vibrational excitation of CH₃F molecules on the rate of their reaction with bromine atoms has been investigated. A three-fold increace in the reaction rate has been registered at CH₃F and Br₂ pressures of 0.07 Torr and at 100°C. The increase is shown not to be associated with equilibrium thermal heating.

Hydrogen adsorption on Rh-black and Rh/C catalysts with varying metal content has been investigated. The amount of adsorbed hydrogen per 1 g Rh decreases in the following series of catalysts: 20% Rh/C>10% Rh/C>5% Rh/C>2% Rh/C>Rh-black. The heat of hydrogen adsorption abruptly falls upon going from Rh-black to supported catalysts.

The induction period and the fast, and slow rates of the bromate-cerium(III) reaction were examined. It was found that the duration of the induction period was inversely proportional to both the bromate and acid concentrations, and that the fast reaction rate was proportional to the square of bromate concentration.

The form which is readily soluble in water and reducible to Mo(IV) at 400°C and P_H2=10⁵ Pa is active in cyclohexane dehydration, and the forms soluble in water and ammonia are active in thiophene hydrogenolysis.
