Kinetic study of the thermal decomposition of heterocyclic thiol complexes under non-isothermal conditions

The thermal decomposition in the solid-phase has been studied by thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques for a number of heterocyclic thiol complexes.

Recent progress in numerical methods for the determination of thermokinetics

The results of a multinational concerted programme on the determination of thermokinetics are presented. The purpose of the programme was to compare different numerical methods which have been independently proposed for the determination of thermokinetics from experimental calorimetric data. To achieve this end, the same experimental data, obtained from two heat-flow calorimeters, were distributed and successively analyzed by the different methods. Numerical methods based on the state function theory, on Fourier transform analysis, on dynamic optimization and on a simple differentiation of the data were thus critically tested.

Zusammenfassung Es wurden die Ergebnisse der gemeinsamen Arbeiten über die Bestimmung der Thermokinetik mit 4 numerischen Methoden (dynamische Optimalisierung, Methode der Zustandfunktionen, harmonische Analyse und umgekehrte Korrektion) vorgestellt. Die experimentellen Daten wurden mit Hilfe von 2 Kalorimetern mit einer konstanten Temperatur des Isoliermantels ermittelt. Die Durchführung der Versuche ermöglichte ein Vergleich der angewandten Methoden.

Investigation of the self-heating phenomenon in the bulk polymerization of acrylonitrile

The temperature of the polymerizing system was measured with a thermistor during the bulk polymerization of acrylonitrile initiated by azoisobutyronitrile. The temperature of self-heating suddenly rises at a conversion of about 2%. This jump of temperature is presumably caused by the formation of a gel structure and, consequently, the outfall of thermal convection within the system.

Kinetics of perborate oxidation of quinol

The perborate oxidation of quinol in aqueous acetic acid is first order with respect to perborate, zero order with respect to quinol, and first order with respect to H⁺. The oxidation is faster than H₂O₂ oxidation. Breakdown of protonated perboric acid is suggested as the rate-limiting step.

The concentrations of the radicals CH₃, C₂H₅ and H have been determined by a kinetic method at 973–1088 K using additives of D₂. The values obtained are compared with results of the analysis of the kinetic model for n-alkane pyrolysis. The rate constants of the reactions of CH₃ and C₂H₅ with hexane have been determined.

Generation of model reactions leading to limit cycle behavior

The system of differential equations by Feistel and Ebeling has been generalized. Some new formal kinetic reactions with two internal components, which may exhibit limit cycle behavior have been studied. Based upon the numerical integration of the deterministic models of these reactions the oscillatory character of the systems has been confirmed.

Structure and interconversion of intermediates in pyridine-catalyzed mesylation reactions

The structure of intermediates of pyridine-catalyzed mesylation processes, i.e. sulfene and sulfonyl salts, and the ways of their interconversion have been studied by the joint use of semi-empirical MNDO approximation and methods of molecular mechanics. Calculation results agree well with the kinetic data.

Studies of the structure of multicomponent Raney nickel catalysts

Genesis and structure of Raney nickel catalysts modified by Mo, Fe and Ca have been studied by XPS, SIMS and Auger and electron microprobe methods. It has been established that these catalysts are inhomogeneous and their structure can be described by models accounting for the interaction and localization character of metal components, their oxides and hydroxides.

Thermo-dielectric analysis

By means of thermo-dielectric analysis, some natural and synthetic zeolites were studied (clinoptilolite, mordenite,X, Y andA). The results indicate the existence of two effects, one related to water evolution, reflected in a decrease of dielectric constant; the second peak is related to ionic conduction at high temperature. Both peaks characterize zeolites, in thermo-dielectric analysis.

Zusammenfassung Einige natürlich und synthetische Zeolithe (Klinoptilolit, Mordenit,X, Y undA) wurden mittels thermodielektrischer Analyse untersucht. Zwei Effekte wurden beobachtet. Der eine ist mit der Abgabe des Wassers verbunden und spiegelt sich in der Abnahme der dielektrischen Konstante wider, der zweite ist durch ionische Leitfähigkeit bei hohen Temperaturen bedingt. Zeolithe können durch beide Effekte charakterisiert werden.

Influence of mechanical activation on decomposition of a chalcopyrite-pyrite mixture in an oxidizing atmosphere

The influence of the addition of pyrite and mechanical activation on an oxidative decomposition of chalcopyrite was studied. The course of the thermoanalytical curves and X-ray identification of the products showed that addition of pyrite affects mainly the endothermic processes taking place in region of low temperatures but does not significantly influence the temperature of CuSO₄ formation and its content in the products of decomposition. Changes in fine and superfine structure of chalcopyrite brought about by mechanical activation at grinding cause the complex of exothermic oxidative reactions to proceed at temperatures as much as 180 deg lower than for a non activated sample. The endothermic effect of these oxidation reactions become more marked and the proportion of CuSO₄ in the products of the oxidative decomposition increases significantly.

Zusammenfassung Am oxidativen Zerfall von Chalkopyrit wurde der Einfluss der Zugabe von Pyrit sowie der mechanischen Aktivierung untersucht. Der Verlauf der thermoanalytischen Kurven und Röntgendiffraktionsanalyse der Produkte zeigten, dass die Zugabe von Pyrit hauptsächlich die sich bei niedrigeren Temperaturen abspielenden endothermen Prozesse beeinflusst, nicht aber die Bildungstemperatur von CuSO₄ sowie dessen Gehalt in den Zersetzungsprodukten. Durch mechanisches Aktivieren mittels Feinmahlen hervorgerufene Veränderungen in der Fein- und Superfeinstruktur lassen die Gesamtheit der exothermen oxidativen Reaktionen bei Temperaturen ablaufen, die etwa 180 Grad unterhalb derer für unaktivierte Proben liegen. Die endotherme Färbung dieser Oxidation wird eindeutiger und der Anteil von CuSO₄ in den Produkten des oxidativen Zerfalles nimmt eindeutig zu.

Effect of molybdenum catalysis on the perborate-bromide reaction. Kinetics and mechanism and some theoretical considerations

In the presence of molybdenum, both the uncatalyzed and the catalyzed reactions proceed simultaneously. An equation for k_cat was derived and the effect of temperature was described through a temperature function F(T) by the use of the Arrhenius-Eyring equation. A plausible mechanism is postulated and the theoretical background given for the analytical application of molybdenum.

Studies on the catalytic oxidation of propylene on ferric molybdate

Ferric molybdate is less selective in the partial oxidation of propylene than bismuth molybdate. Its catalytic behavior is similar to that observed on other transition metal molybdates. The intrafacial nature of the reaction is established through kinetic and adsorption measurements.

On the interpretation of differences in mechanisms, kinetics and dynamics of oxidation reactions on metal and oxide catalysts

Langmuir-Hinshelwood type mechanisms with competitive adsorption are suggested to be more typical for metal catalysts, since, unlike on oxide systems, oxidizable substance and molecular oxygen can be adsorbed on the same (reduced) active sites. Therefore, multiple steady states and critical phenomena are more characteristic for catalysis on metals.
