Hydrocarbon hydrogenolysis on nickel-tin catalysts

Hydrogenolysis of ethane, n-hexane and cyclohexane has been studied on nickel-kieselguhr catalysts modified by organic and inorganic compounds of tin. Tin additives decrease nickel reactivity with respect to C–C dissociation, which is ascribed to the formation of surface intermetallides on the catalyst.

Effect of medium composition on the monooxygenase activity of immobilized hemin in aniline oxidation

The effect of the composition of the reaction medium on the rate of aniline oxidation to p-aminophenol by hydrogen peroxide on hemin immobilized on -propylimidazole-modified silica has been studied. Organic solvent additives (alcohols, esters and nitriles) are shown to increase the reaction rate. The observed effect is attributed to the decrease of the medium dielectric constant.

Catalytic desulfurization of ethanethiol over zinc-forms of NaX zeolites

Zinc exchanged zeolite X was found to catalyze effectively the dehydrosulfurization of ethanethiol. The catalytic activity correlated linearly with the degree of ion exchange and increased with the reaction temperature. The role of zinc cations in the reaction examined is discussed and suggestions concerning the reaction mechanism are put forward.

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.

Measurement of adsorption heats of nitrogen on metal nitrides

Adsorption heats q and activation energies of the nitrogen exchange on several metal nitrides have been compared. For the systems capable of changing readily their composition upon varying conditions, the isotope exchange is suggested to be the most reliable method of the determination of q.

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.

Oxidation of propylene to acrylic acid on a Fe?Mo?Bi oxide system

Data obtained in a flow reactor show that iron(III) molybdate doped by bismuth can oxidize propylene to acrylic acid directly in one step. Part of the catalyst works in a partially reduced form and in the preparation of the catalyst the surface acidity must be controlled.

Stability of hyperbolic reactors

For the one-phase tubular reactor, a new mathematical model is suggested, viz. a hyperbolic system of first order partial differential equations instead of the usual second order parabolic ones. This physically better model is investigated from the point of view of stability via the second Lyapunov method.

Synthesis of dimethyl sulfide in the presence of zeolites

In the presence of zeolites, dimethyl sulfide is produced either through CH₃OH interaction with H₂S or via CH₃SH decomposition. In accordance with their activities, in both reactions, zeolites arrange in the same sequence: HZSMHNaY>NaXNaY. Realization of the reaction CH₃OH+H₂S is more difficult compared to methanethiol decomposition.

Glass transition and crystallization effects demonstrated by thermal analysis of liquid-quenched ternary glasses Te80Ge20−xA x V (AV=Sb,Bi)

In DSC studies of liquid-quenched ternary chalcogenide glasses Te₈₀Ge_20–xA _x ^V (A^V=Sb, Bi), the characteristic temperatures (glass transition and crystallization temperatures) were determined. Changes in the thermal stabilities of these glasses, depending on the element A (Sb, Bi) from group V of the periodic table and on its content in the alloy were evaluated. Moreover, the effect of changes in the glass composition on the glass formation ability expressed by the parameter K_g1 was determined.

Partial hydrogenation of benzene over platinum supported catalysts

Partial hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexene has been studied on Pt/Nylon 66, Pt/MgO and Pt/TiO₂. An effect of the support on the selectivity to cyclohexene was observed, Pt/Nylon showing the highest selectivity, followed by Pt/MgO and Pt/TiO₂. An interaction of platinum with the more basic supports (Nylon, MgO) and a pretreatment under oxidizing conditions, results in a higher selectivity to cyclohexene.

Influence of the gas phase on metallic reference electrodes used in work function measurements

Contact potential differences between electrodes of Pt, Au and Ta of different surface finishing were measured by the dynamic condenser method in propylene and oxygen. Propylene is irreversibly adsorbed, thus changing the work function. This renders the electrodes unsuitable as standard electrodes for work function measurements on catalysts in the atmosphere of hydrocarbons, but they may be used in adsorption studies on oxygen.
