Sorption of H2, O2 and CO on bimetallic catalysts Pd?Ag/Al2O3 over a wide temperature range

Adsorption of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide on Pd–Ag/Al₂O₃ catalysts of different compositions within the temperature range from 293 to 773 K has been investigated. Adsorption measurements have been carried out by the pulse chromatographic method. The results obtained reflect interactions of the above adsorbates with the alloy surface, strongly enriched in silver atoms, as a result of surface segregation processes.

Analysis of thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium

Thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium have been analyzed in terms of models accounting for the effect of lateral interactions between adsorbed particles and of their diffusion into the bulk of metal on the desorption kinetics of O₂. Complex configuration of these spectra is ascribed to the processes of formation/decomposition of surface Rh oxides and the diffusion of particles into the near-surface layers of metal and back to the surface.

Oxidative coupling of alkylbenzenes to diaryls catalyzed by the palladium(II)-heteropolyacid system

Oxidative coupling of alkylbenzenes (benzene, toluene, o-xylene, durene) is shown to proceed in the presence of palladium salts and heteropolyacids under the action of oxygen with a high yield of diaryls. The addition of mercury salts and variation of the solvent affect the reaction rate and isomer composition of the products.

Catalytic preparation of diacetone alcohol in controlled flow conditions

Catalytic preparation of diacetone alcohol from acetone was studied using strong basic ion exchangers as catalysts. A continuous process was carried out in an enlarged laboratory set-up with controlled flow rate. Experiments were performed with respect to experiment duration, temperature, flow rate, catalyst porosity and catalyst-acetone ratio. The quantity of DAA was determined by gas chromatography. The effects of temperature, catalyst porosity and catalyst-acetone ratio on the reaction course were significant in comparison with other parameters examined. An exponential dependence of C/A ratio on DAA yield was found.

Dehydrogenation of tetrahydrothiophene on nickel-zeolite catalysts

Application of Y zeolites for the preparation of nickel-containing catalysts makes it possible to increase the yield of thiophene up to 55–65% at a selectivity of 70–73% (450–500°C). The activity of nickel-zeolite samples, deactivated during the reaction, is completely restored by regeneration with air at 550°C.

Measurement of reaction kinetics by a pressure rise method

Decomposition of urea nitrate in an initially evacuated system gave sigmoidal pressurevs. time curves. The experimental kinetic data fit the growing nuclei model with a measured enthalpy of activation of 142±12.5 kJ/mole as compared to 115±11.3 kJ/mole obtained thermogravimetrically. This higher value ofH is explained on the basis of two factors: 1) the inhibitory effect of the product gases and 2) self heating, whose extent increasedH by about 12.5 kJ/mole.

Zusammenfassung Die Zersetzung von Harnstoffnitrat in einem anfanglich evakuierten System ergab sigmoide Druck-Zeit Kurven. Die kinetischen Versuchsangaben können einem Kernwachstums-Modell einer gemessenen Aktivierungsenthalpie von 142±12,5 kJ/mol angepaßt werden, im Vergleich zu den auf thermogravimetrischen Weg ermittelten Wert von 115±11.3 kJ/Mol. Dieser hohe Wert vonH, wird auf Grund zweier Faktoren erklärt: 1) der Hemmungseffekt der Produktgase und 2) Selbsterhitzung, deren AusmaßH um etwa 12.5 kJ/Mol erhöhte.

Résumé La décomposition du nitrate d'urée dans un système initialement mis sous vide, donne des courbes sigmoïdales de pression en fonction du temps. Les données cinétiques expérimentales peuvent être ajustées à un modèle de grossissement de germes, avec une enthalpie d'activation mesurée de 142±12.5 kJ/mole, comparée à 115±11.3 kJ/mole obtenue par thermogravimétrie. Cette valeur plus élevée deH s'explique sur la base de deux facteurs: 1) l' effet inhibiteur des gaz produits et 2) phénomène d'autoéchauffement qui augmente la valeur deH d'environ 12.5 kJ/mole.

Kinetic studies on the thermal decomposition of glucose and fructose

The thermal decompositions of glucose and fructose were studied by means of the Derivatograph. From the melting temperature up to 300 these monosaccharides decompose and give brown caramel matter. The TG curves as functions of time were taken at various heating rates (0.5–10/min) by the Derivatograph and the activation energies of the decompositions were determined by Ozawa's method.

The adsorption of NH₃ on Cr–Mo and Cr–Mo–Te catalysts has been investigated by IR spectroscopy. It is shown that there are both electron acceptor and proton donor acid centers on the surface of these catalysts. The introduction of tellurium into a Cr–Mo catalyst decreases adsorption on the electron acceptor centers.

Investigation of kinetics of curing of triglycidyl-p-aminophenol with aromatic diamines by differential scanning calorimetry

The kinetics of curing of triglycidyl-p-aminophenol with four different diamines in stoichiometric amounts were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry. The results indicated that the curing reaction follows first-order Arrhenius kinetics with an activation energy in the range 40–70 kJ · mol^–1. The effect of the structure of the curing agent on the curing characteristics is discussed on the basis of the curing characteristics and the kinetic parameters. An epoxy fortifier was observed to lower the curing temperature of an epoxy-amine system when incorporated prior to curing.
