Application of thermal analysis to study smelting reduction kinetics

A thermal analysis study on the reduction of iron oxide rich slags under different conditions is presented in this paper. The effects of important process variables such as time, temperature, lime-silica ratio, FeO level in slag etc. are discussed. It is shown that the mechanism of reduction by externally added graphite is different from that by a carbon saturated bath although the activation energy values are similar.     

制备高比表面积碳化硅的几种影响因素

采用溶胶凝胶法，以蔗糖和正硅酸乙酯(TEOS)为原料，草酸为TEOS水解的催化剂，制备均相碳化硅前驱体，在氩气氛和高温条件下(1 350～1 600 ℃)将碳化硅先驱体进行碳热还原，制备出高比表面积的SiC。考察了水/TEOS物质的量的比、碳/硅物质的量的比及镍盐等因素对碳化硅比表面积的影响。结果表明，当n_water/n_TEOS=7.5，n_C/n_Si=4时，适宜的镍催化剂(n_Ni/n_TEOS=0.005)，凝胶形成的时间最短，镍盐的加入可使碳热还原温度降低200 ℃。     

On the critical behavior of the magnetization in high-dimensional Ising models

We derive rigorously general results on the critical behavior of the magnetization in Ising models, as a function of the temperature and the external field. For the nearest-neighbor models it is shown that ind4 dimensions the magnetization is continuous atT _c and its critical exponents take the classical values=3 and=1/2, with possible logarithmic corrections atd=4. The continuity, and other explicit bounds, formally extend tod>3 1/2. Other systems to which the results apply include long-range models ind=1 dimension, with 1/|x–y| couplings, for which 2/(–1) replacesd in the above summary. The results are obtained by means of differential inequalities derived here using the random current representation, which is discussed in detail for the case of a nonvanishing magnetic field.Research supported in part by NSF grant PHY-8301493 A02, and by a John S.

New Aspects of Cyclodextrin Chemistry Induced by Outside Type Complex Formation; Asymmetric Reduction of Indol-3-Pyruvic Acid with NaBH4 in Aqueous Solution

Asymmetric reduction of indol-3-pyruvic acid (IPA) with NaBH₄ in aqueous solution in the presence of various cyclodextrins (α-, β-, γ-, mono-6-amino-6-deoxy-β- and di-6^ABamino-6^AB-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin) was investigated. From the NMR and circular dichroism spectral studies, the conformation of the CyD–substrate complexes is suggested; the part of carboxylic group stay in the cavity of α-CyD, whole of IPA in β-CyD, two molecules in a γ-CyD cavity, and IPA(s) is/are on the rim of the cavity of mono-6-amino-6-deoxy-β- and di-6^ABamino-6^AB-deoxy-β-CyD (AβCyD, DAβCyD) with electrostatic interaction between amino group and carboxylic group. This conformational difference provides in the difference in the optical selectivity of reduction.

Synthesis and properties of novel dialkylaminocarbenium salts

Novel dialkylaminocarbenium salts with metallocomplex counter ions were prepared by the reaction of phosgene with either DMF or tetramethylurea in the presence of metal chlorides. Reactions of organosilicon amides with phosgene gave corresponding carbenium salts, while organosilicon ureas yielded aminoiminocarbenium salts. Dialkylaminochlorocarbenium salts were reduced with hydrosilanes to give dialkylaminocarbenium, salts and can be easily hydrolyzed to afford either amides or ureas. Pathways of the reaction with water and alcohols depend on the nature of reagent and the reaction conditions. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Pt/Al2O3蜂窝状催化剂上NO选择性催化还原反应动力学研究

采用多次涂层和浸渍法制备了蜂窝状Pt/Al2O3催化剂，并在高空速和大气体流量条件下对无梯度循环式反应器和积分反应器上催化剂的活性进行了比较。同时采用循环式反应器对动力学数据进行了测定。根据Langmuir-Hinshelwood模型和实验结果，推测了NO-C3H6-O2体系的SCR反应机理，并导出了NO和C3H6反应速率的数学表达式。据此所计算的理论模拟值能够与实验值很好地吻合。实验结果表明，氧气浓度对NO和C3H6的反应速率有明显的影响，二者均随着氧浓度c (O2)的增加达到峰值，再增加氧气浓度时，C3H6的反应速率r(C3H6)保持不变，而NO反应速率r (NO)却下降，而且下降的程度随着温度的升高而加剧。同时，随着氧气浓度增加，r (NO)达到最大值时的温度亦随之下降。     

Effect of the Secondary Reduction on the Enantioselectivity and Function of Additives in the Chiral Oxazaborolidine‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Borane Reduction of Ketones

The secondary reduction in the direct and oxazaborolidine‐catalyzed asymmetric borane reduction of ketones was investigated by the use of GC/MS tracing titration and control experiments. The results indicate that the secondary reduction affects the enantioselectivity only in noncoordinated solvents at low temperature and not under the usual catalytic reduction conditions because the intermediate alkoxyborane is unstable and quickly converts to borane and dialkoxyborane. The function of an alcohol additive in the asymmetric borane reduction of ketones is to consume excess borane in the reduction system thus inhibiting noncatalytic reduction, which leads to increased enantioselectivity in the catalytic reduction.
