Acid strength distributions in the Mo?Al?Si and the Ni?Mo?Al oxide systems determined by ammonia adsorption

Acid strength distributions of Mo–Al–Si and Ni–Mo–Al oxide systems have been found by means of a relationship that gives pK_a values from amounts of ammonia adsorption. Molybdenum is suggested to cause a homogenization in the acid strength distribution of alumina but a heterogenization in silicaalumina, whereas nickel is found to neutralize strong acid sites inherent to molybdenum.

Transverse photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) applied to thermal diffusiyity measurements

Transverse photothermal deflection spectroscopy(PDS) is applied for the determination of thermal diffusivities of solid surfaces. The theory of PDS is briefly recalled and some approximated analytical formulae concerning the transverse configuration are derived. In materials where the thermal diffusivity is smaller than that of the air, the dependence of the deflection angle on the displacement between pump and probe beams is shown to have a minimum that relates to the thermal diffusivity, thereby allowing its straightforward measurement. Measurements carried out on Al₂O₃ samples with different porosities at room temperature show a good agreement between experiment and theory.

Zusammenfassung Die transverse photothermische Reflektionsspektroskopie (PDS) wird zur Bestimmung der thermischen Diffusivität von festen Oberflächen herangezogen. Die Theorie der PDS wird kurz dargelegt und einige sich auf die transverse Konfiguration beziehenden analytischen Näherungsgleichungen abgeleitet. Es wird gezeigt, daß bei Materialien mit kleinerer thermischer Diffusivität als Luft die Abhängigkeit des Deflektionswinkels von der Ablenkung zwischen Pumpen- und Probenstrahl ein Minimum aufweist, das mit der thermischen Diffusivität im Zusammenhang steht und somit deren zuverlässige Messung ermöglicht. An Al₂O₃-Proben unterschiedlicher Porosität bei Raumtemperatur ausgeführte Messungen zeigen gute Übereinstimmung von Experiment und Theorie.

The effect of salt concentrations on the hydrolysis kinetics in three-component systems containing tetraethoxysilane and aqueous solutions of sodium, neodymium and lead nitrates has been shown. A generalized model for the synthesis of polycomponent hydrolytes is suggested, which permits to predict the conditions to prepare compositions with specified characteristics.

Study of selective dissociation in C6F5H?C6F5D mixtures induced by intense CO2 laser pulses

Irradiation of a C₆F₅H–C₆F₅D mixture at 1 Torr by a tunable CO₂ pulse laser brings about chiefly dissociation of one component depending on the frequency of emission absorbed by the proper molecules. The addition of radical acceptors increases the selectivity by suppressing secondary reactions.

Kinetics of the thermal destruction of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers,computed from thermoanalytical data

The process of thermal destruction of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers, studied in a derivatograph, proceeds in one stage, as indicated by the mass loss accompanied by a characteristic endothermic peak in the range 380–400°. The determined values of the kinetic characteristicsn, E, InA, E andT ₀ allow the conclusion that an increase in the divinylbenzene content of the monomer blend used to synthetize the divinylbenzene copolymers does not result in an increased thermal stability as compared to that of polystyrene.

Die ermittelten kinetischen Charakteristikan, E, lnA, E, T ₀ gestatten die Schlußfolgerung, daß die Zunahme des Divinylbenzolgehalts in dem zur Synthese der Divinylbenzolkopolymeren verwendeten Monomergemisch im Vergleich zu der des Polystyrols, keine erhöhte Thermostabilität herbeiführt.

Influence of the chlorine content of Al2O3 on its catalytic activity and coke formation

The catalytic activities of aluminas with different chlorine contents for cumene cracking, o-xylene isomerization, n-hexane isomerization and cracking and methylcyclopentane cracking were studied. The catalytic activity and the acidity increase continuously when the chlorine content increases. Coke formation is only noticiable with methylcyclopentane, increasing with the chlorine content of the alumina.

Free radical additions to the C=O bond of formaldehyde

The reactions between formaldehyde and n-propyl radicals were studied at 333 and 363 K. Addition to the C=O bond was found to be several times faster than abstraction of the formyl hydrogen atom. With a TST estimate of log(A/dm³ mol^–1 s^–1)=7.9±0.5, 28.0±2.1 kJ mol^–1 was obtained for the activation energy of the addition reaction.

Selective hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene in the liquid phase on palladium catalysts

The catalytic hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene to cyclopentene was investigated under atmospheric pressure and 20°C in liquid phase with palladium carrier catalysts. The reaction was carried out in methanol and toluene in the presence of n-octylcatechol as a polymerization inhibitor. Using 0.56% Pd/Al₂ O₃, a 100% selectivity of the hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene to cyclopentene was achieved in toluene. In methanol, the selectivity of hydrogenation was lower and a partial polymerization of cyclopentadiene took place.

Kinetics and mechanism of the decomposition of pyrite under conventional and quasi-isothermal — quasi-isobaric thermoanalytical conditions

The kinetics and mechanism of the thermal decomposition of pyrite were examined by the method of quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric thermogravimetry (Q-TG). It emerged that by means of this technique the overlapping partial processes of the complicated oxidation and decomposition reactions of pyrite can be separated and studied independently from one another. It was found that the partial reactions FeS₂=FeS +S and Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x=Fe₂O₃+SO₃ are endothermic processes taking place quasiisothermally and leading to equilibrium, while the oxidation FeS+O₂=Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x is an exothermic process which takes place in an oscillating manner in a rather broad temperature interval.

Es stellte sich heraus, daß sich überlagernde Teilprozesse der komplizierten Oxydations- und Zersetzungsprozesse von Pyrit mit Hilfe dieser Technik absondern und unabhängig voneinander untersuchen lassen. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Teilreaktionen FeS₂=FeS+S und Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x=Fe₂O₃+SO₃ endotherme Prozesse sind, die quasi-isotherm verlaufen und zu einem Gleichgewicht führen, während die Oxydation FeS+O₂=Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x ein exothermer Prozeß ist, der oszillierend in einem ziemlich breiten Temperaturintervall verläuft.

Synthesis of dimethyl sulfide in the presence of zeolites

In the presence of zeolites, dimethyl sulfide is produced either through CH₃OH interaction with H₂S or via CH₃SH decomposition. In accordance with their activities, in both reactions, zeolites arrange in the same sequence: HZSMHNaY>NaXNaY. Realization of the reaction CH₃OH+H₂S is more difficult compared to methanethiol decomposition.

NO adsorption on tin(IV) oxide

The adsorption of NO on SnO₂ has been studied in the temperature range from 0 to 86°C, at pressures from 0.4 to 3.5 Torr. The adsorption isotherms are described by the Freundlich equation. The rate of adsorption obeys the Roginskii-Zeldovitch equation and decreases with increasing temperature. The reduction of SnO₂ with carbon monoxide results in a drop in the adsorption rate and in the amount of adsorbed NO.
