Preparation, Characterization and Catalytic Properties of S2O8^2-／ZrO2 Supported by Tungsten Carbide

A WC-supported S2O8^2-/ZrO2(PSZ) catalyst was prepared and characterized by means of XRD, BET, FTIR and XPS. The isomerization of n-pentane over the catalyst was investigated as well. The results show that the skeletal isomerization and the crack of n-pentane proceed simultaneously on WC-supported S2O8^2-/ZrO2 catalyst. The addition of tungsten carbide showed a significant enhancement in the activity and stability of the catalyst for n-pentane isomerization. The catalyst showed evidently a better activity than S2O8^2-/ZrO2 supported by Pt and WO3. The results can be interpreted by the existence of the tungsten oxycarbide compound(WCxOy) with carbidic, oxide and acidic sites.     

基于ReaxFF模拟的正戊烷热分解机理研究

采用密度泛函理论和ReaxFF力场对正戊烷的热分解机理进行研究,分析了热分解的起始反应路径、温度对热分解的影响,并对正戊烷热分解进行了一级动力学研究。结果表明正戊烷热分解的起始反应主要分为两类:一类为碳碳单键断裂,另一类为碳氢键断裂,其中C2-C3键断裂是主要的起始反应路径。正戊烷热分解的主要产物为氢气、甲烷、乙烷、乙烯、乙炔、丙烷和丙烯。经过一级动力学计算得到表观活化能和指前因子分别为224.4 kJ·mol^-1和3.1324×10^14 s^-1。     

S2O8^2—和SO4^2—促进ZrO2固体超强酸正戊烷反应性能差异的研究

考察了常温下S2O8^2-促进ZrO2(PSZ)固体超强酸催化剂上正戊烷的反应性能，并与SO4^2-促进ZrO2（SZ）反应相比较，观察到PSZ和SZ对正戊烷都具有异构化和裂解的双重作用，主要产物分别为异戊烷和异丁烷。正戊烷的异构化转化率和表观反应速率常数主要取决于样品的焙烧温度。但对于正戊烷异构化反应，PSZ的最佳焙烧温度为550℃，比SZ的低50℃。在各自的最佳焙烧温度下反应1h后，前者的异戊烷生成率为后者的1．3倍。通过S含量和比表面积测定以及用XRD和FTIR等手段分析了PSZ的物理化学特性。从原位FTIR谱图发现，PSZ（550℃）表面S－O键的红外吸收明显比SZ（600℃）的强；通过吡啶红外手段发现PSZ（550℃）吡啶离子吸收峰的红移大于SZ（600℃），表明前者的Lewis酸强于后者。     

Determination of pentane in human breath by gas chromatography

A new procedure, requiring expired sample volumes of approximately 2L, has been developed for the quantitative determination of n-pentane in human breath. The methodology capitalizes on the superior resolving power and separating efficiency of the open tubular capillary column and incorporates an effective prechromatographic cryofocusing technique. Molecular sieve is used to simultaneously remove moisture and carbon dioxide from breath samples which are “spiked” with an internal standard to optimize the validity of analysis. Reproducible data for both internal standard spiking (CV = 5.8%) and sample n-pentane level (CV = 3.2%) have been obtained, together with a mean recovery of 104%. Preliminary data show n-pentane levels in normal female subjects (n = 10) to range from 0.62 to 3.16 nmole/L (mean 1.76 nmole/L) and in males (n = 10) from 3.20 to 8.76 nmole/L (mean 5.66 nmole/L).

Effect of vapor flow on the wetting behavior of unstable evaporating menisci in heated capillary tubes

The wicking height of a heated, evaporating meniscus formed by surface-wetting liquid in a vertical capillary tube with dynamic flow has been investigated. Previous experimental results and analytical models for measuring/predicting wicking heights in capillaries are also reviewed. An analytical model is presented that accounts for both major and minor vapor pressure losses along the vertical capillary tube. It is shown that during thermo-mechanical instability, vapor/meniscus interaction can become more prevalent due to increased vapor generation/pressure near the meniscus free surface. A relatively simple procedure for estimating onset of meniscus instability is presented and, when used with the vapor Reynolds number, can estimate whether vapor pressure loss is significant. By comparing the current model with the available experimental data, it is shown that the wicking height of an unstable, evaporating meniscus of n-pentane in a vertical, glass capillary tube is better estimated by considering vapor flow pressure losses – providing a 40% improvement over previous models that neglect vapor flow. In addition to vapor flow pressure loss, the dynamic contact angle and thin film profile must also be calculated to ensure accurate prediction of wicking height. Although the proposed model shows improvement, it is prone to under-predicting the actual meniscus wicking height for stable, evaporating menisci at lower relative heat loads. The proposed model can be used for predicting wicking behavior of heated, vertically-aligned liquid columns in capillary structures – which is relevant to the design of miniature heat transfer equipment/media such as wicked heat pipes, micro-channels and sintered/porous surfaces.     

SO42-/ZrO2和SO42-/Al2O3-ZrO2催化剂上的正戊烷反应

研究了添加Al对SO₄^2-/ZrO₂超强酸样品的晶化、比表面、硫含量、超强酸性和正戊烷反应性能的影响,考察了活化温度、反应温度、Al含量和载Pt对催化剂活性和选择性的影响.SO₄^2-/Al₂O₃ZrO₂催化剂的酸强度与SO₄^2-/ZrO₂基本相当,但超强酸位比后者多,未载Pt时正戊烷反应活性和稳定性明显高于后者.负载Pt后,正戊烷异构化选择性和稳定性大大提高,但Pt/SO₄^2-/Al₂O₃ZrO₂催化剂的反应活性与Pt/SO₄^2-/ZrO₂相近,Al的促进作用不明显.
