Mass-spectrometric detection of an unstable product in silver-methanol interaction

The low pressure interaction of methanol vapors with a silver catalyst was studied by mass spectrometry. An unstable product contributing to m/e-15 was detected in this reaction. While yield of formaldehyde increased with addition of oxygen, the unstable product showed towards oxygen a reversed, decreasing trend.

A note on diffusion stabilized Pt/C oxidation catalysts: Absence of gas-liquid boundary deactivation results in relatively high efficiency (Pt/C oxidation catalysts; Part 6)

Deactivation of Pt/C aqueous phase oxidation catalysts may occur at the gas-liquid boundary. This feature explains the relatively high and stable activity of diffusion stabilized Pt/C catalysts in the oxidation of substrates with a low reactivity.

Mechanism of isotope exchange of dihydrogen with liquid ammonia catalyzed, by amide ions

The interacting bonds method (IBM) has been used for the analysis of hydrogen bonds in liquid ammonia, including estimates of the resonance components of the H=bonds of ammonia molecules with ammonium and amide ions. According to the E_a estimates for the interaction of a hydrogen molecule with an amide-ammonia solution (AAS) and the data on liquid ammonia structure, a kinetic mechanism for isotope exchange (IE) of hydrogen with liquid ammonia is formulated.

Methanol conversion of various cation-exchanged forms of high-silica zeolites

Studies of the methanol conversion on various cation-exchanged forms of high-silica zeolites have revealed that the activity and selectivity of the intact pore structure zeolites depend on the cation composition. On decationated forms the selectivity of methanol conversion to aromatic hydrocarbons is much higher than on the hydrogen form, and it decreases with respect to paraffins.

On the catalytic system MgO?Na

Acid-base and radical properties of two sets of MgO–Na catalysts have been studied. The catalysts were prepared (I) by impregnation of MgO with NaOH in aqueous solution, and (II) by evaporation of metallic sodium onto a MgO surface. The catalyst prepared by the second method was much more basic than pure MgO (H_o=35) and showed a high activity in olefin isomerization.

Routes of catalytic oxidation of o-xylene to phthalic anhydride

Relative reactivity of o-xylene, o-tolualdehyde, phthalide, and phthalane and the rate of phthalic anhydride formation from them have been determined. The main route of o-xylene oxidation to phthalic anhydride is due to the o-arrangement of methyl groups, proceeding through bicyclic products, such as dihydrobenzofuran (phthalane) and 3,4-benzofuran.

Studies of n-octane transformations on zeolites under hydrocracking conditions in a two-reactor flow-circulation system

Transformations of n-octane under hydrocracking conditions in a two-reactor flow-circulation system have been studied. It has been established that at high hydro-dehydrogenation activity of zeolite catalysts the reaction mechanism involves an initial step of paraffin dehydrogenation on a metal component and subsequent steps of cracking, isomerization and disproportionation of intermediate olefins on an acid component. Sodium content in zeolite determines the paraffin hydrocracking selectivity.

Activity and bond strength of surface oxygen in vanadium oxide catalysts for methanol oxidation

Catalytic activity and bond strength of oxygen to the surface of V–Mo–O, V–Sb–O and V–Sn–O catalysts have been examined. It has been established that the surface of these catalysts contains only strongly bonded oxygen, which, along with some other factors, accounts for their selectivity in the partial oxidation of methanol.

Contribution of air oxygen to photooxidation of alkanes by vanadium(V) and chromium(VI) oxocomplexes

In photochemical oxygenation of cyclohexane by KVO₃–CF₃COOH or K₂Cr₂O₇–Bu₄NBr–H₂O–CH₂Cl₂ in air the source of oxygen atoms in the product cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone is air dioxygen rather than a metal oxo-complex. In the absence of dioxygen the products of alkane oxygenation are not formed in either of the above systems. At pH=3, Cr(VI) does oxidize cyclohexane to cyclohexanol even in argon atmosphere.

Role of tellurium in the oxidation of 1-butene on Te-doped CdMoO4

New active and selective catalysts were prepared by adding different quantities of Te to CdMoO₄. These were already selective at low Te levels, but the one with a Cd/Te/Mo ratio of 1/1/1 was specific for butadiene. The catalytic behavior of the Cd–Te–Mo–O system has been correlated mainly with the CdTeMoO₆ phase in the region rich in Te and with the CdMoO₄ phase with Te as dopant in the region poor in Te.

Kinetics of the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of hydroxamic acids

The acid catalyzed hydrolysis of some alkylhydroxamic acids has been studied spectrophotometrically in perchloric, hydrochloric and sulfuric acids. Plots of the first order rate constant, k_obs against H⁺ show maxima, which are caused by protonation of the substrate. The mechanism of hydrolysis is found to be similar to that of amides. The variation of reaction rate with acid concentration can be described by a two-parameter equation.
