Diffusion Mechanisms of Zeolite Catalysts

The diffusion mechanisms within zeolite catalysts, such as resistance to diffusion at pore mouths, configurational diffusion, adsorption-controlled diffusion, influence of co-existing molecules and pore blocking, were overviewed. Two kinds of diffusivities, the intracrystalline diffusivity and the effective diffusivity, were discussed separately to clarify the diffusion mechanism.     

Development of chromium-free iron-based catalysts for high-temperature water-gas shift reaction

Chromium-free iron-based catalysts were prepared and studied in regard to their performance in the high-temperature water-gas shift reaction (HTS). The effects of various catalyst preparation variables (i.e., Fe/promoter ratio, pH of precipitation medium, calcination and reduction temperatures) and preparation methods were investigated. Aluminum is a potential chromium replacement in HTS catalysts. Further improvement in WGS activity of Fe–Al catalysts can be achieved by the addition of small amounts of copper or cobalt. Catalysts were characterized using BET surface area measurements, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). As a textural promoter, aluminum and chromium prevent the sintering of iron oxides and stabilize magnetite phase by retarding its further reduction to FeO and metallic Fe. The promotional effect of Cu is found to be strongly dependent on the preparation method.

Hydrogen elimination in cyclopentadienylnickel compounds as a route to organonickel and organic compounds

Reactions of -, β- and γ-hydrogen elimination in cyclopentadienylnickel compounds formed in the reactions of nickelocene with lithium or magnesium compounds are discussed. Elimination of -hydrogen from CpNiR where R is CH₃, CH₂C(CH₃)₃, CH₂Si(CH₃)₃, CH₂Ph or CH=C(CH₃)₂ leads to the formation of trinickel clusters (CpNi)₃CR′, bis(cyclopentadienyl)(μ-cyclopentadiene)dinickel and (η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)(η³-cyclopenteny)nickel. β-hydrogen and γ-hydrogen elimination in vinylnickel compounds not possesing -hydrogen have been studied. Elimination and transfer of hydrogen forms (η³-allyl)(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)nickel compounds. The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed.     

An efficient synthesis of 7-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylchromeno[3,4-d]oxazol-4-one—a protected fragment of novenamine

The high-yielding six-step synthesis of 7-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylchromeno[3,4-d]oxazol-4-one 17 from commercially available 2,4-dihydroxy-3-methylacetophenone is described. Coumarin 17 constitutes a useful synthon for coumarin antibiotic synthesis. A new methodology for oxazole formation applicable to 3-aminocoumarins has been developed, and a mechanistic rationalization is proposed.

二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱的变异现象及其机理

记录了常温下二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液的Raman光谱，并分别与二钼酸铵晶体、仲钼酸铵晶体、仲钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液、水溶液状态下单钼酸根离子的Raman光谱进行了比较研究。结果表明：二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱相对二钼酸铵晶体Raman光谱，明显地发生了变异现象。二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱其主要特征峰最高振动频率937.6 cm^-1与仲钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱主要特征峰最高振动频率937.6 cm^-1完全吻合，而其次高振动频率893.9 cm^-1，恰好介于水溶液中单钼酸根离子Raman光谱主要特征峰最高振动频率895.1 cm^-1与仲钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱主要特征次高峰振动频率891.0 cm^-1之间，而且三者彼此接近。二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱主、次特征峰强度之比值为2.1，与仲钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱主、次特征峰强度之比值4.4相比，一半不足。提出了一种利用Raman光谱主要特征峰振动频率及其主、次特征峰强度之比值对二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液组分同时进行定性和半定量分析的新方法。发现了常温下二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液中二钼酸根离子Mo₂O₇^2-已经不复存在，完全转变成了优势组分仲钼酸根离子Mo₇O₂₄^6-和次要组分单钼酸根离子MoO₄^2-；证明了常温下含钼水溶液酸化过程中溶液Raman光谱离散性变化现象的存在。运用结构化学和物理化学原理同时讨论了二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱发生变异现象的机理。     

Possible Mechanisms of Intercalation

Recent knowledge of the kinetics and intercalation mechanisms are summarized and accompanied by examples of intercalation reactions of water and ethanol into anhydrous vanadyl phosphate and redox intercalation of alkali metal cations into vanadyl phosphate dihydrate. Three possible mechanisms of intercalation are presented which are based on: (i) a concept of exfoliation of layers; (ii) the formation of stages and randomly stacked layers; (iii) co-existence of intercalated and non-intercalated parts of crystals of the host separated by an advancing phase boundary. The corresponding kinetic curves are ascribed to mechanisms (ii) and (iii).     

Resistance of supersulfated cement to strong sulfate solutions

One of the principal uses of supersulfated cement has been for structures exposed to sea water and sulfate bearing ground waters. The resistance to such environments has been related to the absence of calcium hydroxide and the combination of much of the free alumina into ettringite during hydration. This paper reports the resistance of SSC to sulfate solutions in which ettringite has been decomposed. Prism samples were subjected to initial water storage at 25°C for both 28 days and 6 months. Samples were also cured for 6 months at 95°C and at both 11% and 100% R.H. The control samples of 28 days were compared with the 6 months samples of a more mature undecomposed SSC paste. After curing the prisms were measured and all the samples were immersed in three sulfate solutions (0.7M Na₂SO₄ , 0.7M MgSO₄ and saturated CaSO₄), and water at the same time. Measurements of linear expansion over 6 months were carried out. Core and surface material following immersion was examined by DTG and XRD. The study indicated that SSC is resistant to sodium and calcium sulfate solutions. Strong magnesium sulfate solutions decomposed the samples under all conditions. A possible mechanism for this attack is suggested. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Pd-SiW12/SiO2催化剂上乙烯直接氧化制乙酸的反应机理

 利用积分反应器和微分反应器对Pd－SiW12／SiO2催化剂上乙烯直接氧化生成乙酸的反应机理进行了探讨．乙烯在积分反应中氧化的主要产物为乙酸（选择性为77．6％），很少生成乙醛（选择性仅为8．1％）；而在微分反应中氧化的主要产物是乙醛（选择性为98．4％）．在微分反应中分别以乙醛和乙醇为主反应物时，乙醛氧化完全生成乙酸，选择性为100％，而乙醇氧化生成乙酸的选择性低于0．15％．可以认为，在Pd－SiW12／SiO2催化剂上，水蒸气存在下乙烯主要经由中间物乙醛而生成乙酸．通过对含有不同组分和不同还原条件处理的催化剂活性的比较，认为目的反应主要发生在Pd与SiW12相互接触的部位，催化剂中的Pd0是活性Pd物种的主要形态．
