Homogeneous catalytic oxidation of pyrocatechol in the presence of transition metal ions

Pyrocatechol oxidation by oxygen in aqueous solutions containing different metal ions, proceeds via the intermediate formation of pyrocatechol-metal ion-oxygen complexes, Catalytic activity of metal ions depends on their donor-acceptor properties.

Effect of bond energies of a catalyst with reacting atoms on the selectivity of CO hydrogenation over metals

In hydrogenation over metals (M)_j carbon monoxide is adsorbed as a molecule. C–O bond rupture in partially hydrogenated complex, MCHOH, leads to MO and MCH₂ and then to hydrocarbons, while transformation of MCHOH into MCH₂OH gives alcohols and other oxygen-containing compounds. Selectivity towards hydrocarbons increases with increasing energy of M–O bonds.

Thermal analysis of phenolic resin based pyropolymers

The formation and thermal behaviour of pyropolymers based on novolak resin synthesized under carefully controlled processing conditions have been studied by various thermoanalytical techniques. A suitable reaction scheme has been proposed for the formation of these pyropolymers. Only a small (3–8%) weight loss has been observed up to 800 °C in static air. DTA curves confirmed multistage exothermic processes predominantly due to two different linkages which control their thermo/thermo-oxidative stability. Hot metal filtration (700 °C) in an inert atmosphere exhibited only negligible weight loss.

Zusammenfassung Mittels verschiedener thermoanalytischer Verfahren wurde Bildung und thermisches Verhalten von Pyropolymeren auf Novolackbasis unter streng geregelten Reaktionsbedingungen untersucht. Zur Bildung dieser Pyropolymere wurde ein geeignetes Reaktionsschema entwickelt. In unbewegter Luftatmosphäre kann bis 800 °C nur ein geringer (3–8%) Gewichtsverluft beobachtet werden. Die DTA-Kurven zeigen einen exothermen Mehrstufenprozeß, der hauptsächlich auf zwei verschiedene Verkettungen zurückzuführen ist, welche die thermische/thermisch-oxidative Stabilität bestimmen.

Kinetics of the formation of whewellite and weddelite by displacement reactions

The nucleation and crystallization of whewellite and weddelite during displacement reactions has been investigated by means of thermomicroscopy, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Gypsum cleavage plates were immersed at different temperatures in solutions of oxalic acid and alkali oxalates. The reaction product (whewellite and/or weddelite) formed on the gypsum crystal surface. Depending on the concentration of the solution and on the time and temperature, different degrees of reaction, which means varying amounts and crystal forms or Ca-oxalate were found. An evaluation of the growth rate was possible by means of thermogravimetry. Conditions for the preparation of pure weddelite by precipitation from solutions have been established.

Zusammenfassung Keimbildung und Kristallisation von Whewellit und Weddelit bei Verdrängungsreaktionen wurden durch Thermomikroskopie, Thermogravimetrie, Röntgenbeugung und Rasterelektronenmikroskopie untersucht. Gipsspaltplättchen wurden bei verschiedenen Temperaturen in Oxalsäure- und Natriumoxalatlösungen eingetaucht. Das Reaktionsprodukt (Whewellit oder Weddelit) bildete sich auf der Oberfläche des Gipskristalls. In Abhängigkeit von der Konzentration der Lösung, der Zeit und der Temperatur wurden verschiedene Umsetzungen, d. h. verschiedene Menge und Kristallformen von Calciumoxalat gefunden. Die Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit ließ sich aus thermogravimetrischen Messungen ermitteln. Die Bedingungen zur Herstellung reinen Weddelits durch Fällung aus der Lösung wurden ermittelt.

A thermal analysis study of the oxidation of brown coal chars

The combustion of brown coal chars, obtained at different pyrolysis temperatures, have been investigated using TG, DTG and DTA thermal analysis methods. The burning profiles and the kinetic parameters derived from TG and DTA data show that all the chars are less reactive than the parent coal. The higher temperature chars have lower overall reactivity. From the corresponding infrared spectra, the chars obtained at 800 °C and 1000 °C appear to have graphitic structures.

Zusammenfassung Mittels TG-, DTG- und DTA-Methoden wurde die Verbrennung von unter verschiedenen Pyrolysetemperaturen erhaltenen Braunkohlenschwelkoksen untersucht. Das Verbrennungsprofil und die kinetischen Parameter, erhalten aus TG und DTG, zeigen, daß die Schwelkokse eine geringere Aktivität haben, als die ursprüngliche Braunkohle. Die Schwelkokse höherer Temperatur besitzen eine niedrigere resultierende Aktivität. Aufgrund der entsprechenden IR-Spektren besitzen die bei 800 °C und 1000 °C erhaltenen Schwelkokse eine Graphitstruktur.
