Determination of the strength of Lewis acid centers via IR spectroscopic measurement of adsorbed pyridine

According to high-temperature IR spectroscopic studies, the isosteric heats of pyridine adsorption on the Lewis centers of Al₂ O₃, ZrO₂ and zeolite HNaY have been estimated. The dependence between the frequency _8a (1580–1630 cm^–1) and the adsorption heat is shown to take place only for centers formed by cations of the same metal.

XPS studies of Cu-Cr catalyst deactivation in catalytic heat generators

Changes in the valence state of transition metal cations on the CuCr₂O₄/–Al₂O₃ catalyst under its deactivation in catalytic heat generators have been studied by the XPS method. Partial reduction of the catalyst active component has been revealed. It has been established that a freshly prepared catalyst contains Cr(VI) that is most likely responsible for its high initial activity.

Induction period of the conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons on a nickel loaded faujasite: Evidence for a suppression of the autocatalytic step

The conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons on nickel loaded faujasites can be retarded for many hours time-on-stream. The induction period is interpreted to be due to a suppression of the autocatalytic step of the reaction. An autocatalytic mechanism is proposed based on the -scission of branched carbenium ion intermediates.

Reaction specificity in catalysts reported to exhibit strong metal-support interactions

The specific activities of a 10% Ni/TiO₂ and a 10% Ni/SiO₂ catalyst for the hydrogenolysis of n-hexane and for the methanation reaction have been investigated. Both catalysts have very similar activities and selectivities for hydrogenolysis. However, the titania-supported catalyst exhibits a considerably greater specific activity for methanation. It is concluded that this enhancement of activity is reaction specific, and we propose a mechanism involving the adsorption of CO onto the surface of titania.

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.

Decomposition of dimethyl sulfide in the presence of Al2O3, and catalyst deactivation

The catalytic decomposition of dimethyl sulfide has been studied over the temperature range of 400–500 °C. The main reaction products are methylmercaptane, H₂S and methane. Catalyst deactivation is due to its coking during the reaction. The possibility of oxidative catalyst regeneration at 550 °C has been shown.

Shape-selective ester hydrolysis by octadecyl immobilized H-ZSM-5 catalyst in liquid phase

The shape-selective property of octadecyltrichlorosilane treated H-ZSM-5, keeping the original acid strength (–5.6<Ho–3.0) in liquid phase in the hydrolysis of straight chain esters has been observed by comparing the reaction rates with those over octadecyltrichlorosilane treated SiO₂-Al₂O₃. The most pronounced effect was found in the case of ethyl decanoate, viz. ca. 6 times.

Thermal analysis of ethylenediamine complexes of Ni(II) chloride

Thermal analysis of mono-, bis- and trisethylenediamine (en) complexes of Ni(II) chloride was carried out using TG, DTG and DTA techniques. The kinetic parameters were estimated from dynamic TG studies using the Coats and Redfern equation. The thermal stability of the metal-ligand (Ni-N) bond in, the complex was found to decrease with increasing Nien ratio. The DTA studies showed that the loss of en was initially endothermic but became increasingly exothermic with the progress of the decomposition. The final step in the case of all the three complexes was always composite in nature causing the loss of both Cl atoms with simultaneous oxidation of Ni to NiO. The dissociation of the Ni-en bonds appears to be regulated by the nucleation and growth mechanism. Kinetic parameters corresponding to various steps of decomposition of all the three complexes were evaluated.

Zusammenfassung Mittels TG-, DTG- und DTA-Verfahren wurde eine Thermountersuchung des mono-, bis- und tris-Äthylendiammin (en) komplexes von Ni(II)-chlorid durchgeführt. Unter Zuhilfenahme der Gleichung von Coats und Redfern wurden die kinetischen Parameter anhand der Daten aus dynamischen TG-Untersuchungen abgeschätzt. Es wurde gefunden, daß die thermische Stabilität der Metall-Ligand Bindung (Ni-N) der Komplexe mit anwachsendem Ni:en Verhältnis absinkt. Aufgrund der DTA Untersuchungen erwies sich die Abgabe von en anfänglich als endotherm, mit fortschreitender Zersetzung jedoch als zunehmend exotherm. Bei allen drei Komplexen war der letzte Schritt immer komplexer Natur und beinhaltete die Abgabe beider Chloratome verbunden mit einer gleichzeitigen Oxidation von Ni zu NiO. Die Dissoziation der Ni-en Bindung scheint durch einen Keimbildungs- und Wachstums-mechanismus bestimmt zu werden. Die kinetischen Parameter für die einzelnen Zersetzungsschritte aller drei Komplexe wurden ermittelt.
