Investigation of surface phenomena on solid catalysts by thermogravimetry

Thermogravimetry was applied to the investigation of the phenomena of adsorption, chemisorption, desorption and surface reactions on solid catalysts. The measurements were carried out with 13 NaX and NaY type zeolites and with silica gels treated with sodium hydroxide, in the presence of cumene and methanol. On the basis of the quantitative results it is possible to give an interpretation of surface phenomena and to establish the existence of various active centres on the surface of the catalysts.

Die Messungen wurden an Zeoliten der Typen 13 NaX und NaY und an mit Natriumhydroxid behandelten Silikagelen in Gegenwart von Cumol und Methanol durchgeführt. Aufgrund der quantitativen Ergebnisse war es möglich, die Oberflächenerscheinungen zu deuten und das Vorhandensein von verschiedenen aktiven Zentren an der Katalysatoroberfläche nachzuweisen.

Thermal studies on titanyl,zirconyl and hafnyl dithiocarbamato complexes

The dithiocarbamato complexes of titanyl(IV), zirconyl(IV) and hafnyl(IV), abbreviated as MO(S₂CNRR)₂·nH₂O(M=Ti, Zr or Hf,R=H,R=C₅H₉;R=H,R=C₇H₁₁,n=1 for Ti andn=2 for Zr and Hf), were prepared in aqueous medium and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements and IR spectral studies. The thermal behaviour of these compounds under non-isothermal conditions was investigated by thermogravimetric, derivative thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimctric techniques in nitrogen and oxygen atmospheres. The intermediates obtained at the end of various thermal decomposition steps were identified on the basis of analyses and IR spectral studies. Kinetic parameters, such as apparent activation energy and order of reaction, were determined by the graphical method of Coats and Redfern. The heats of reaction for the different decomposition steps were calculated from the DSC curves.

Das thermische Verhalten dieser Verbindungen unter nicht-isothermen Bedingungen wurde durch TG, DTG und DSC in Stickstoff- und Sauerstoffatmosphäre untersucht. Die nach verschiedenen thermischen Zersetzungsschritten erhaltenen Zwischenprodukte wurden durch chemische Analyse und IR-Spektroskopie identifiziert. Kinetische Parameter, wie die scheinbare Aktivierungsenergie und die Reaktionsordnung, wurden nach der graphischen Methode von Coats und Redfern bestimmt. Für die einzelnen Zersetzungsschritte wurden die Reaktionswärmen aus den DSC-Kurven berechnet.

Tracing of peroxy radicals in hexane cool flames

Stabilized hexane-air cool flames in a separately heated two-section reactor have been studied at T=480–770 K and P=30–63 kPa. ESR spectra of peroxy radicals were analyzed by the radical freezing technique and sonde sampling. Under these conditions high radical concentrations (>10¹⁴ cm^–3) are observed. With increasing pressure and temperature, the fraction of HO₂ radicals in the overall amount of radicals grows.

Kinetic and mechanistic studies on the oxidation of arginine and histidine by chloramine-T in hydrochloric acid medium

The oxidation of amino acids by chloramine-T (CAT) in HCl medium at 30°C indicates simultaneous catalysis by H⁺ and Cl^– ions in the HCl concentration range of 0.04–0.12 M. The reaction is first order with respect to concentrations [CAT], [H⁺] and [arginine], but zero order with respect to [histidine]. The rate depends also on Cl^– concentration following 0.7th order. At HCl concentrations >0.12 M, the rate equation is:w=k[CAT] [amino acid]^0.6 and is independent of the [Cl^–]. A suitable mechanism has been suggested.

Catalytic performance in Co hydrogenation over triruthenium ketenylidene cluster-derived catalyst

The ruthenium catalyst prepared from triruthenium ketenylidene cluster exhibited high catalytic activity in CO hydrogenation, compared with the catalyst from [HRu₃(CO)₁₁]^–. The high activity possibly resulted from the ketenyl group (CCO) that could be partly converted to carbide species.

The kinetics of Ln2O3 Hydration under mild conditions

The kinetics of Ln₂O₃ hydration (Ln=Sm, Ho, Yb, Lu) have been studied at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, as have the influence of the activation temperature and the method of preparation of the oxides.The best correlation coefficients are obtained for a diffusion mechanism. If a structural relationship between the C-Ln₂O₃ and their precursors is considered, the possibility arises of the existence of defect planes in the oxides prepared from the hydroxide and carbonate. This facilitates the hydration process through a diffusion mechanism in the case of the rare earth sesquioxides prepared from the above precursors.

Zusammenfassung Die Kinetik der Hydratisierung von Ln₂O₃ (Ln=Sm, Ho, Yb, Lu) wurde bei Raumtemperatur und atmosphärischem Druck bezüglich des Einflusses der Aktivierungstemperatur und der Art der Darstellung der Oxide untersucht. Die besten Korrelationskoeffizienten werden für einen Diffusionsmechanismus erhalten. Wenn die strukturelle Beziehung zwischen den C-Ln₂O₃ in Betracht gezogen wird, so ergibt sich die Möglichkeit der Existenz von defekten Gitterebenen in den aus Hydroxiden und Carbonaten hergestellten Oxiden. Dies erleichtert den Hydratisierungsprozeß durch einen Diffusionsmechanismus im Falle von aus den oben genannten Vorstufen hergestellten Sesquioxiden der Seltenen Erdmetalle.

Kinetics of thermal dehydration of some bis-salicylato-diaquo complexes of transition metal ions

The kinetics of thermal dehydration of bis-salicylato-diaquo complexes of VO(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Mn(II) and Zn(II) were studied. The activation energies and other kinetic parameters were evaluated. The observed kinetic parameters indicate first-order reactions. The activation energy of the thermal dehydration decreases in the sequence VO(II) > Cu(II) > Zn(II) > Co(II) > Ni(II) > Fe(II) > Mn(II), which is also the sequence for the difference in carboxyl group IR frequency.
