Determination of basic sites on the surface of metal oxide catalysts by desorption of benzoic acid

A method has been developed for the determination of the concentration of basic sites on white and deeply colored solid porous materials, which is based on the displacement of adsorbed benzoic acid by acetic acid. The determination is rapid and gives results comparable with those obrained by the titration with benzoic acid using thymolphthalein as indicator.

Catalytic properties and phase composition of multicomponent catalysts for oxidative ammonolysis of propane

Studies of the phase composition and catalytic properties of several complex oxide catalysts for oxidative ammonolysis of propane indicate that the active phases of these catalysts are antimonates of the respective metals. Phosphorus and tungsten additives to the catalysts promote the formation of such phase compositions, i.e. the formation of antimonates and the binding of excess antimony oxide.

Catalytic activity of honeycomb catalysts, I. The benzene-cyclohexane (de)hydrogenation reaction

Monolithic supported platinum catalysts were investigated with respect to their hydrogenation and dehydrogenation activity towards benzene and cyclohexane, respectively, between 250° and 350°C. Conversion of benzene to cyclohexane is optimal for the volume ratio H₂/Bz=5 at lower temperatures. In the cyclohexane dehydrogenation reaction, high temperatures, associated with lower N₂/Cy ratios, are beneficial. No byproducts were observed in the two reactions.

Thermal investigation of the phase composition of poly(ethylene terephthalate). Analysis of different methods of determination of the degree of crystallinity of partially crystalline substances

The literature data on the degree of crystallinity of non-deformed poly(ethylene terephthalate) measured at various temperatures have been subjected to comparative analysis. There is no correlation between the results obtained by the different methods. The reason for this is shown to be the imperfections in the methods of determining the degree of crystallinity, which do not provide the true composition of the crystalline phase. Consideration has been paid to the validity of the main principles involved in the thermal method of determining the degree of crystallinity, so as to eliminate the imperfections in the existing methods and to provide the correct value of the mass of the crystalline phase. The phase composition of PET has been analyzed by the thermal method at different temperatures and conditions of crystallization. A marked difference from the literature data is observed in the range of low temperatures.

Zusammenfassung Eine vergleichende Analyse der Literaturangaben bezüglich des bei verschiedenen Temperaturen gemessenen Kristallisationsgrades von nicht-deformiertem Poly(äthylen-terephthalat) wurde durchgeführt. Zwischen den mit verschiedenen Methoden erhaltenen Ergebnissen besteht keine Korrelation. Es wurde gezeigt, daß der Grund hierfür in der Unvollkommenheit der Methoden zur Bestimmung des Kristallisationsgrades liegt, da diese nicht die wahre Zusammensetzung der Kristallinen Phase angeben. Die Gültigkeit der wichtigsten Prinzipien, welche die thermische Bestimmung des Kristallisationsgrades unter Ausschaltung der Unvollkommenheit der bestehenden Methoden gewährleisten und den richtigen Wert der Masse der kristallinen Phase angeben, wurden in Erwägung gezogen. Die Analyse der Phasenzusammensetzung von PET wurde durch die thermische Methode bei verschiedenen Temperaturen und Kristallisationsbedingungen durchgeführt. Ein deutlicher Unterschied zu den Literaturangaben kann im Bereich der niedrigen Temperaturen beobachtet werden.

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.

State of copper ions, bond energy of oxygen and catalytic properties in hydrogen oxidation for a copper-magnesium system

The bond energy of surface oxygen in a copper-magnesium catalyst and its reactivity are shown to be greatly dependent on the structure of the nearer environment of copper ions. For catalysts prepared at low temperatures (773 K) this structure changes from a symmetrical square planar in CuO to an octahedral with various degrees of axial distortion depending on the copper content.

Differential thermoanalytical investigation of Fe(II) salt solutions frozen at different pressures

Phase transitions of pure water and aqueous Fe(II) perchlorate solutions, frozen between 1 and 5 kbar were detected by the DTA method at atmospheric pressure. Only the crystal structure of the primarily formed ice varies with the pressure, while water molecules remaining in the near eutectic solution — which solidifies into a glassy state — show no sensitivity towards pressure.

Die in der beinahe eutektischen Lösung zurückbleibenden Wassermoleküle, die in einem glasartigen Zustand erstarren, scheinen nicht druckempfindlich zu sein.

Hreels studies of Hads effect on NO adsorption on Pt(111)

HREELS studies of NO molecular adsorption on clean and hydrogen covered Pt(111) have revealed that a reversible transition between bridge (₁) and on-top (₂) states of NO_ads is realized in the (NO+H₂)/Pt(111) system. In the presence of H_ads the adsorption of NO in the ₁ state is inhibited and the main state of NO_ads is ₂. Upon heating the layer (₂-NO_ads+H_ads) hydrogen desorption is accompanied by on-top to bridge state conversion.

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.
