EPR and magnetic studies on the regeneration of cobalt-molybdenum catalysts for coal liquefaction

Changes in composition and structure occurring in cobalt promoted and unpromoted Mo/Al₂O₃ catalysts during several subsequent cycles of activation and regeneration have been studied. Regeneration does not lead to the initial oxide form of the catalysts completely. The changes in the oxide catalyst composition increase with increasing number of activation-regeneration cycles.

Structure and interconversion of intermediates in pyridine-catalyzed mesylation reactions

The structure of intermediates of pyridine-catalyzed mesylation processes, i.e. sulfene and sulfonyl salts, and the ways of their interconversion have been studied by the joint use of semi-empirical MNDO approximation and methods of molecular mechanics. Calculation results agree well with the kinetic data.

Hydrogen effects on the catalytic activity and selectivity of the zeolites H?NaY and PtH?NaY

The decomposition of methylcyclohexane on H–NaY and PtH–NaY zeolites has been studied. It has been found that the presence or abscence of H₂ affects not only the activity of these catalysts but also their selectivity to dehydrogenation and isomerization products.

Reactivity of allyl (o-halophenyl) ethers with organonickel (0) complexes

The reactivity of allyl (o-halophenyl) ethers with zerovalent nickel complexes, with triphenylphosphine and pyridine as ligands, leading to benzo[b]furan derivatives has been checked. Cyclization products were not isolated, but deallylation, substitution, reduction and rearrangement products were obtained in low to moderate yields. Mechanisms are proposed to explain the formation of these side products.

Kinetics of oxidative regeneration of zeolites

The analysis of the kinetic data on the oxidation of nondesorbed macromolecules in NaX zeolites confirms a hypothesis concerning two mechanisms of deactivation of microporous adsorbents in multicycle processes. An equation to describe the kinetics of two-stepoxidation of nondesorbed substances is suggested.

Samarium hydroxide as catalyst in hydrogen evolution

Hydrogen evolution on a platinum cathode taking place in Na₂SO₄ as electrolyte, is catalyzed by the formation of samarium hydroxide deposited on platinum. It is shown by voltammetric experiments that the quantity of adsorbed hydrogen is greater with samarium than without it and the H₂O reduction reaction is an irreversible process due, presumably, to a reaction between the adsorbed hydrogen and samarium hydroxide.

Studies on thermal decomposition of rare earth element complexes with glycolic acid

The rare earth complexes with glycolic acid were prepared as crystalline solids with general formula [Ln(CH₂OHCOO)₃H₂O]·nH₂O, wheren=0 for La-Gd andn=2 for Y and Tb-Lu. During heating the monohydrates of La and Pr-Gd decomposed in two steps to Ln₂O₃ and Pr₆O₁₁, with intermediate formation of Ln₂O₂CO₃; monohydrated Ce(III) glycolate decomposed directly to CeO₂. The trihydrated glycolates of Y and Tb-Lu first lost two water molecules and the monohydrated complexes then decomposed to Ln₂O₃ and Tb₄O₇ through Ln₂O₂CO₃.

Experimental study of the initial stage of Li2SO4·H2O single crystal dehydration in vacuum

The initial stage of the Li₂SO₄·H₂O single crystal isothermal dehydration has been studied by means of quartz crystal microbalance. As found, weight loss in the initial process may be considered as H₂O molecule diffusion from a semiinfinite medium. The numerical values of the H₂O molecule diffusion in Li₂SO₄·H₂O have been calculated from the results obtained.

Coke deposition on naphtha reforming catalysts: I. Influence of the hydrocarbon feed

During hydrocarbons reactions over Pt/Al₂O₃ the catalyst is covered by coke. It is accepted that coke formation occurs on metal and acid sites. During normal heptane and methylcyclopentane reforming it was found that the nature and the rate of coke deposited on the catalyst surface was not same, depending on the structure of the hydrocarbon feed.
