Kinetic analysis of temperature-programmed surface reactions on porous catalysts

By means of model calculations it could be shown for an irreversible surface reaction of 1st order that the determination of the activation energy of the desorption of the reactant or, respectively, of the surface reaction is possible by application of the method of variation of the heating rate to the desorption curve of the reactant, according to circumstances whether the ratio of the activation energy of the surface reaction and of the desorption of the reactant is greater or smaller than one.The possibilities of the kinetic evaluation are applied to the isomerization of cyclopropane on a NaX-zeolite catalyst. The resulting heat of adsorption of cyclopropane and the activation energy of the reaction agree well with the values of literature obtained by isothermal measurements in a pulse reactor.

Zusammenfassung Mit Modellrechnungen für eine irreversible Oberflächenreaktion 1. Ordnung konnte gezeigt werden, daß durch Anwendung der Methode der Variation der Heizgeschwindigkeit auf die Desorptionskurve des Ausgangsstoffes die näherungsweise Bestimmung der Aktivierungsenergie der Desorption des Ausgangsstoffes bzw. der Oberflächenreaktion möglich ist, je nachdem ob das Verhältnis der Aktivierungsenergien für die Oberflächenreaktion und der Desorption des Ausgangsstoffes größer oder kleiner als eins ist.Die Möglichkeiten der kinetischen Auswertung werden auf die isomerisierung von Cyclopropan an einem NaX-Zeoliten angewendet. Die erhaltene Adsorptionswärme für Cyclopropan und die Aktivierungsenergie für die Reaktion stimmen gut mit Literatur-werten von isothermen Messungen im Impulsreaktor überein.

     

Computer modeling for analysis of complex reaction kinetics

A new method for computer prediction of the catalytic activity dependence on service life and technological conditions for bifunctional Pt catalysts has been proposed. The proposed method is based on physical and chemical laws of multicomponent hydrocarbon transformations on polymetallic catalysts and takes into account deactivation of acidic (Al) and metallic (Pt) sites. It allows to calculate the product composition and catalytic activity level for real industrial units as a function of their technological parameters and raw material characteristics.     

Thermoanalytical study of nucleating effects in polypropylene composites

Nucleating and transcrystallization behaviour of additives in engineering PP composites and the effect of modified interfacial structure is the subject of this series of papers. The first part concentrates on polypropylene/liquid crystalline polyester blends. Increased crystallisation temperature and degree of crystallinity of polypropylene is characteristic to the blends containing different amount of LCP additive. Transcrystallization process governs the formation of crystalline structure in these systems in course of isothermal crystallisation at 132C. The nucleating effect of LCP gives rise to more uniform crystalline structure in the polypropylene phase.The financial support of the OTKA 014194 is acknowledged with gratitude.

次甲基硅SiH与H2X(X=O,S)反应的热力学及动力学性质研究

在量子化学对SiH与H₂O和H₂S反应计算的基础上,运用统计热力学和Wigner校正的Eyring过渡态理论,计算了上述两反应在200～2000 K温度范围内的热力学函数、平衡常数、频率因子A和速率常数随温度的变化。计算结果表明,两反应在低温下具有热力学优势,而在高温下具有动力学优势。比较两反应的计算结果发现,在相同的温度下,SiH与H₂O反应比SiH与H₂S反应放热较多,但速率常数却较小。SiH与H₂O反应和前文报道的SiH与HF反应的比较表明,SiH与H₂O反应放热较少,而且在相同温度下,速率常数也较小。

Thermal characterization of UHMWPE stabilized with natural antioxidants

This work presents a study of the thermal degradation of ultra-high molecular mass polyethylene (UHMWPE) stabilized with natural (α-tocopherol and carvacrol) and synthetic antioxidants. Thermogravimetric analysis in dynamic mode was used to determine the apparent activation energies of different samples. The stabilization of UHMWPE with low concentrations (around 0.3%) of α-tocopherol is enough to obtain an efficient thermal performance of the polymer. Carvacrol is also a good stabilizer for UHMWPE, but at higher concentration than in the case of α-tocopherol. The comparison of apparent activation energy between samples with natural and synthetic antioxidants in similar concentration shows that α-tocopherol is a better stabilizer in terms of their thermal performance.     

Experimental and theoretical studies of Diels-Alder dimerization of 1,2,3,4,5-pentachlorocyclopentadiene and of Diels-Alder cycloaddition of polychlorinated cyclopentadienes to norbornadiene

Diels-Alder cyclodimerization of 1,2,3,4,5-pentachlorocyclopentadiene (1) affords 2a as the exclusive reaction product. Diels-Alder cycloaddition of 1 to norbornadiene also proceeds stereoselectively to produce a single [4+2] cycloadduct, 4c. The structures of 2a and 4c were established unequivocally via application of single crystal X-ray crystallographic techniques. The origins of the observed diastereofacial selectivity in each of these cycloaddition processes have been investigated by application of semiempirical (AM1 Hamiltonian) and ab initio (Hartree-Fock 3-21G*) calculations. The computational results thereby obtained, which are based upon consideration of the kinetically favored transition state for each of the two cycloaddition reactions studied, are consistent with experiment. These semiempirical and ab initio methods also have been used to investigate the mechanisms of the Diels-Alder reactions that have been used to prepare aldrin and isodrin (7 and 8, respectively). The results thereby obtained suggest that isodrin formation via Diels-Alder cycloaddition of cyclopentadiene to 1,2,3,4,7,7-hexachloronorbornadiene proceeds with kinetic control of product stereochemistry.     

Link between the kinetic‐ and exchange‐energy functionals in the generalized gradient approximation

An approximate kinetic‐energy functional of the generalized gradient approximation form was derived following the “conjointness conjecture” of Lee, Lee, and Parr. The functional shares the analytical form of its gradient dependency with the exchange‐energy functionals of Becke and Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof. The two free parameters of this functional were determined using the exact values of the kinetic energy of He and Xe atoms. A set of 12 closed‐shell atoms was used to test the accuracy of the proposed functional and more than 30 others taken from the literature. It is shown that the conjointness conjecture leads to a very good class of kinetic‐energy functionals. Moreover, the functional developed in this work is shown to be one of the most accurate despite its simple analytical form. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2002
