Selective Acetylation of Alcohols and Amines with Ethyl Acetate in the Presence of H<Subscript>6</Subscript>[PMo<Subscript>9</Subscript>V<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>40</Subscript>] as the Catalyst

Summary. Acetylation of various alcohols and benzyl amine was tested in the presence of H₆[PMo₉V₃O₄₀], a mixed addenda heteropolyacid, in ethyl acetate under reflux condition. Phenols and anilines are not affected under the reaction conditions. Selective transestrification of alcohols can be achieved in the presence of phenol and aniline derivatives using this method.     

The Preparation and Characterization of Highly Dispersed PdO over Alumina for Low‐temperature Combustion of Methane

PdO/Al₂O₃ catalysts prepared by glow discharge plasma treatment followed by thermal calcination show a much higher dispersion and a better catalytic activity for methane combustion at relatively low temperatures. The dispersion of palladium active species by such plasma prepared catalysts is 29.7%, 5.4 times higher than that of conventional catalysts. XPS analysis indicates that a surface enrichment of Pd active species (PdO) has been achieved after plasma treatment. The surface atomic composition of PdO of plasma prepared catalysts reaches 10.5%. XRD characterization also confirms a wellcrystallized PdO phase present on the plasma prepared catalyst. The lightoff temperature of the plasma prepared catalyst is 370°C, 50°C lower than that obtained from the conventional catalyst.     

Determination of imazalil by on-line coupled capillary isotachophoresis with capillary zone electrophoresis

A simple, rapid and reproducible capillary isotachophoretic on-line coupled with capillary zone electrophoresis (CITP-CZE) method for the determination of IMz in food packaging extracts and its residues in apples is described. A good separation of the IMZ from other sample constituents was achieved within 15 minutes without any sample clean up. Method characteristics (linearity, accuracy, intra-assay and detection limit) were determined. Less amount of time involved, sufficient sensitivity and low running cost are the important attributes of CITP-CZE method.     

Kinetic Determination of Microquantities of Rutin by Perturbation of the Bray-Liebhafsky Oscillatory Reaction in an Open System

A kinetic method is described for the microquantitative (microconcentration/microvolume) determination of rutin based on potentiometric monitoring of the concentration perturbations of the Bray-Liebhafsky (BL) oscillatory reaction being in a non-equilibrium stationary state close to a bifurcation point. The experiments are carried out in an open reactor. The response of the matrix system to perturbations by different concentrations of rutin ethanolic solutions is followed by a Pt-electrode. In the concentration range between 7.8×10^–8moldm^–3 and 9.1×10^–6mol dm^–3, we found a linear dependence of the maximal potential shift, E_m, on the logarithm of the rutin concentrations. The unknown concentrations can be determined from the calibration curve up to an accuracy of ±5%. The detection limit is 3.6×10^–8mol dm^–3. The amount of required sample can be as small as 10µL.     

Lanthanide nitrate complexes with 2-azacyclononanone

Thermal behavior of rare earth nitrate complexes with 2-azacyclononanone (AZA) with Ln(NO₃)₃·3(AZA) composition (where Ln=Gd, Er and Ho) was analyzed in kinetic point of view. Kinetic parameters were calculated from thermogravimetric data. All obtained results were similar. The first decomposition step was representative to the loss of ligand and the residue was essentially Ln₂O₃. Furthermore, a reaction path was proposed for the thermal decomposition of the Ln(NO₃)₃·3(AZA).     

Elastic scattering cross sections for 160<Superscript>°</Superscript> and 170<Superscript>°</Superscript>backscattering of 1.40-2.64 MeV protons from natural vanadium

Summary The elastic scattering cross sections of natural vanadium for protons have been measured for beam energies below 2.64 MeV in steps of 10 keV and in the angular 160° and 170°. The overall standard error (Δσ_Exp/σ_Exp) in the measured cross sections is estimated to be better than ±3% at all the beam energies and angles. The results are presented in graphical and tabular forms that should be useful for those who wish to use the cross sections for material analysis.     

氯化聚乙烯对甲基丙烯酸甲酯／苯乙烯共聚动力学的影响

将甲基丙烯酸甲酯（ＭＭＡ）／苯乙烯（Ｓ）在氯化聚乙烯（ＣＰＥ）存在下进行悬浮溶胀接枝共聚，考察了ＣＰＥ对ＭＭＡ／Ｓ共聚动力学行为的影响．ＣＰＥ提高了聚合体系的粘度，使自动加速提前，扩散因素增加，对共聚有阻滞作用．ＣＰＥ是链转移剂，使ＭＭＡ／Ｓ共聚物分子量降低．ＣＰＥ对ＭＭＡ的吸附渗透优于对Ｓ的吸附，造成接技部分与非接技部分组成的差异．ＣＰＥ含量、溶胀时间、转化率、硫酸用量对共聚组成均有影响。     

（PdCl2—PVP）／Al2O3催化剂中Pd状态的探讨

氯化钯先锚定在聚乙烯吡咯烷酮上后进一步负载到Al_2O_3上所制的催化剂[简称(PdCl_2-PVP)/Al_2O_3]是一种活性、选择性高,稳定性好的烯烃、二烯烃和多烯烃加氢催化剂。本文结合加氢反应,使用XPS、FT-IR、电镜及用CO为探针的FT-IR,对这种催化剂进行了考察。实验说明,在这种催化剂中,钯的价态是在0—2之间。红外光谱在486cm~(-1)处有一微弱的小峰,说明存在Pd—N的配位键。催化剂中钯含量低时(0.2wt％)稳定性好,不吸附CO,活性中心是络合钯原子;当钯含量较高时(0.7wt％),催化剂的初活性虽不低,稳定性却较差,这种催化剂能吸附CO,IR谱图上仅在1919cm~(-1)处有CO桥式吸附态的伸缩振动。表明除络合钯原子外,还有聚集的钯金属存在。FT-IR尚表明,PVP在Al_2O_3上可能并非单纯的物理吸附。电镜结果表明,PVP在Al_2O_3上呈30—70(?)的微球状,(PdCl_2-PVP)/Al)_2O_3上的(PdCl_2-PVP)亦呈微球状,与前者无明显区别,这种催化剂中其活性中心是络合钯原子。     

About compensation effect by thermal decomposition of some catalyst precursors

Summary In order to obtain catalysts, the thermal decomposition of the precursors is a compulsory step. However, kinetic analysis of the decomposition data obtained under non-isothermal conditions lead very seldom to the intimate reaction mechanism. There is also a lack of information because in non-isothermal kinetics, the compensation effect, is rather a rule and unfortunately a source of debate. In order to discriminate between these processes, and the influence of conversion, respectively temperature on the reaction rate, the NPK (non-parametric kinetic - Sempere and Nomen) method was used. This method is based on the singular value decomposition algorithm (SVD) applied on the matrix of reaction rate at corresponding conversion and temperature. This method allows a less speculative determination of the conversion functions and of the kinetic parameters.     

HMS和NaY固载酒石酸钛配合物的研究

利用化学键合和“瓶中造船”方法,成功地将酒石酸钛配合物接枝到HMS(heragonal mesoporous silicas)上或包络合于微孔NaY内.FT-IR表征表明酒石酸钛在HMS上是通过与载体表面羟基发生交换作用而被固载的;在NaY载体上则是通过包络合被封装在载体的超笼内.UV-Vis可见漫反射表征表明两类固载型催化剂有着相似的钛配位环境.在催化肉桂醇环氧化反应中,HMS键合型催化剂的反应转化率比NaY包络型催化剂的高;但后者在环氧化选择性上要高于前者.回收样品的重复使用实验结果表明,两类固载型催化剂在重复使用过程中均存在不同程度的失活.
