Study of the interaction of atomic oxygen and nitrogen with ruthenium by the bond interaction method

The heats of atomically adsorbed oxygen and nitrogen on Ru(0001) and Ru(1010) planes have been calculated by the semiempirical bond interaction method. The calculations show that oxygen is strongly adsorbed on ruthenium, while molecular nitrogen cannot be chemisorbed on ruthenium.

Li/MgO catalysts: II. A DTA and TG study of precursors

The thermal decomposition of precursors of Li/MgO catalysts prepared from different Mg and Li compounds is reported. Dehydration and dehydroxylation is observed in both cases, in addition to decomposition of LiNO₃, but not of Li₂CO₃. The properties of the solids are related to the melting and spreading of LiNO₃ or Li₂CO₃ before or after Mg(OH)₂ dehydroxylation.

Differential thermoanalyse in der Strukturuntersuchung der als Formmassenbindestoffe in der Giessereitechnik angewandten montmorillonitischen Formlehme

Zusammenfassung Die Differentialthermoanalyse eignet sich zur Bestimmung der thermischen Stabilität der in Formmassen angewandten montmorillonitischen Bindestoffe. Mit der DTA-Methode können die bei hohen Temperaturen in diesen Bindestoffen auftretenden strukturellen Änderungen bestimmt werden. Waschöl erhöht die Dehydratisierungs- und Dehydroxylierungstemperatur des montmorillonitischen Bindestoffes. In der Folge steigert also die Suszeptibilität des Obigen zur Hydratation und auch die thermische Stabilität.

Co-adsorption studies of ethene with isotopically labelled water and hydrogen on copper/silica

The coadsorption of ethene with isotopically labelled water and hydrogen has been studied at temperatures between 423 and 623 K in a flow system. Ethene exchange has been shown to be independent of hydrogenation. When water is presnet, hydrogenation is poisoned but exchange can occur.

Coked reforming catalysts: Self-regeneration by residual hydrogen

The deactivation and subsequent self-regeneration of several Pt/–Al₂O₃/honeycomb reforming catalysts have been investigated. Catalytic activity in the dehydrogenation of methylcyclohexane (MCH), taken as reaction model, has been evaluated at 400 °C in a continuous flow microreactor. The determining role of surface chlorine during the H₂ self-regeneration of catalysts is discussed. A catalyst with ca. 0.5% C1 shows complete self-regeneration. A regeneration mechanism, involving the spillover of residual hydrogen, is proposed.

Effect of bromination on the thermal properties of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)

The thermal behavior of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenyiene oxide) (PPO R resin), poly(3-bromo-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide), and a series of their statistical copolymers with identical average molecular lengths has been characterized by thermogravimetry and computer-interfaced differential scanning calorimetry. The heat capacities are found to be additive with respect to the concentrations of the two components. The change in heat capacity at the glass transition ( C _p) is independent of composition for bromination of up to 75% of the repeat units. At higher bromine levels C _p decreases abruptly. This behavior is attributed to the temperature dependence of C _p for the two components. The glass transition temperature (T _g) of the copolymers varies nearly linearly with composition. A comparison of the experimental values ofT _g is made with various equations derived for statistical copolymers and homogeneous polymer blends. A modification of the Couchman equation is presented taking into account the temperature dependence ofC _p.

Zusammenfassung Das thermische Verhalten von Poly(2.6-dimethyl-1.4-phenylenoxyd) (PPO R-Harz), Poly(3-brom-2.6-dimethyl-1.4-phenylenoxyd) und einer Reihe von statistischen Copolymeren dieser Verbindungen mit gleicher durchschnittlicher Moleküllänge wurde durch Thermogravimetrie und Differential-Scanning-Kalorimetrie mit Computerinterface charakterisiert. Die Wärmekapazitäten sind hinsichtlich der Konzentrationen der beiden Komponenten additiv. Die Veränderung in der Wärmekapazität beim Übergang zum Glas (C_p) ist unabhängig von der Zusammensetzung bei Bromierung bis zu 75% der wiederho-lungseinheiten. Bei höheren Bromierungsgraden nimmtC _p abrupt ab. Dieses Verhalten wird der Temperaturabhängigkeit vonC _p der beiden Komponenten zugeschrieben. Die Glasübergangstemperatur (T_g) der Copolymeren verändert sich nahezu linear mit der Zusammensetzung. Ein Vergleich der experimentellen Werte von T_g wird mit verschiedenen für statistische Copolymere und Mischungen homogener Polymere abgeleiteten Gleichungen ausgeführt. Eine die Temperaturabhängigkeit vonC _p berücksichtigende Modifikation der Gleichung von Couchman wird angegeben.

Compensation effect in solid-state reactions. Thermolysis of one substance under differing experimental conditions

The compensation effect (lgZ=aE+wb) appearing at the thermolysis of one substance under different experimental conditions is discussed. The compensation effect of one and the same substance has no other physical meaning except the simple confirmation of the analytical relationship between lgZ andE that follows from the Arrhenius equation, and of the impossibility to determineZ from any independent experiment. Values of the coefficienta can not be the measure of the ruptured bond strength.

Low temperature oxygen chemisorption (LTOC) has been applied to characterize a series of TiO₂ and ZrO₂ supported Mo-oxide catalysts. The monolayer coverage of the surface is completed when the Mo loading reaches 6% and 4% on the TiO₂ and ZrO₂ supports, respectively. The results are explained with the help of a Patch model of the Mo-oxide phase.

Investigations on the compatibility of milk fat fractions and lauric fats

The compatibility of a lauric fat with several milk fat fractions (MF) was investigated. The enthalpy of crystallization was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). These values were related to the corresponding values calculated for an Ideal Blend. The different compatibility of the milk fat fractions with the lauric fat could be shown by this method very clearly.

The dependences of the tate of partial propylene oxidation and of oxygen bond energy on the degree of cobalt molybdate reduction has been investigated by pulse and caloremetric methods. It has been found that upon reduction, the selectivity to acrolein and the oxygen bond energy increase. The steady state under the conditions examined is characterized by 22% surface reduction and the presence of uniform oxygen with a bond energy of about 85 kcal/mol.
