The reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer-chain length dependent-termination (RAFT-CLD-T) methodology was employed to map chain length dependent termination rate coefficient, , in dodecyl acrylate (DA) free radical polymerization at 60 and 80 °C. The chain length of the propagating DA radicals was controlled by the RAFT agents methoxycarbonylethyl phenyldithioacetate (MCEPDA) and dimethoxycarbonylethyl trithiocarbonate (DMCETC). In addition, the reaction order of the polymerization process with respect to the monomer concentration was determined at both temperatures and found to be close to 1.55 (60 °C) and 1.75 (80 °C), commensurate with the increased presence of mid-chain radicals. A modeling study demonstrates that the obtained data for the reaction order can be transferred to RAFT polymerization systems. The RAFT-CLD-T procedure was modified to account for the determined reaction orders. The obtained chain length dependence of kt in dodecyl acrylate polymerizations is in good agreement with the composite model for chain length dependent termination, showing two distinct regions: For the initial chain-length regime up to a degree of polymerization of 20, kt decreases rapidly with α (in the expression ) being close to 1.15 at 80 °C. At chain lengths exceeding 20, the decrease is significantly less pronounced (α close to 0.22 at 80 °C). At 60 °C, the chain length dependence in both regions is somewhat more pronounced. The RAFT agent DMCETC may not be as suited to map out CLD kt values in the DA system, since it induces some limited rate retardation effects. 相似文献

The kinetics of the catalytic partial oxidation of isooctane for hydrogen (H2) production over a stable Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was investigated at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of 863-913 K, ratio of weight of catalyst to the molar feed rate of isooctane in the range of , and molar feed ratio O2/i-C8H18 of 4.0 in a 12.7 mm diameter Inconel micro-reactor housed in an electrically controlled furnace. The developed rate models were based on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) and Eley-Rideal (ER) formulations. Out of the 18 models developed, 10 were eliminated due to poor predictive efficiency. A LHHW mechanism requiring the dissociative adsorption of isooctane and molecular adsorption of oxygen on a single site was the most likely pathway for the partial oxidation of isooctane. The reaction order of 1.5 indicates a strong coverage of nickel by isooctane. 相似文献

Performance analyses are carried out for the palladium membrane fuel processor for catalytic generation of high purity hydrogen. The reactor model includes detailed particle-scale multi-component diffusion, multiple reversible reactions, flow, and membrane transport. Using methanol steam reforming on Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst as the test reaction, a systematic examination of the effects of operating and reactor design parameters on key performance metrics is presented. Single particle simulations reveal a complex interplay between nonisobaric transport and the reversible reactions (methanol reforming and decomposition, and water-gas shift), which impact overall reactor performance. An analysis of characteristic times helps to identify four different productivity controlling regimes: (i) permeation control, encountered with thick membranes and/or insufficient membrane area; (ii) catalyst pore diffusion control encountered with diffusion of reacting species in larger particles; (iii) reaction control, encountered when intrinsic catalytic rates are too low because of inadequate activity or catalyst loading; and (iv) feed control, encountered when the limiting reactant feed rate is inadequate. The simulations reveal that a maximum in the hydrogen productivity occurs at an intermediate space velocity, while the hydrogen utilization is a decreasing function of space velocity, implying a trade-off between productivity and hydrogen utilization. The locus of productivity maxima itself exhibits a maximum at an intermediate membrane surface to volume ratio, the specific value of which is dependent on the particle size, membrane thickness and reaction conditions. At moderate temperature and total pressure (, 10 bar), particles smaller than 2 mm diameter, Pd membranes with thickness less than , and membrane surface to volume ratio exceeding are needed to achieve viable productivity . A comparison between the packed-bed membrane reactor and conventional packed-bed reactor indicates a modest improvement in the conversion and productivity due to in situ hydrogen removal. 相似文献

The hydrogenation kinetics of a dinitrile over a Raney-type nickel catalyst was evaluated from experiments performed in a fed-batch operating autoclave at 320- and 2- hydrogen pressure. This complex catalytic reaction consists of two main parts: almost 100% selective hydrogenation of the dinitrile to the corresponding aminonitrile and consecutive hydrogenation to either the desired primary diamine or to pyrrolidine via ring formation. An extensive study has been made on the effects of mass transfer in the applied slurry-type reactor for this reaction. The gas-liquid mass transfer is enhanced by the presence of catalyst particles, and at typical hydrogenation conditions, kLa values up to can be reached. A Sherwood correlation for the three-phase reactor showed that important parameters in the gas-liquid mass transfer are stirrer speed and the density and viscosity of the solvent. The kinetic experiments were performed in absence of mass and heat transfer limitations. The kinetic data were modeled using two rate models based on Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics, assuming the reaction of dissociatively adsorbed hydrogen and nitrile compound as rate-limiting step. The first model involved competitive adsorption between hydrogen and organic compound and the second model was based on non-competitive adsorption. Both models successfully described both reaction parts. The reaction of dinitrile to aminonitrile is nearly 100% selective due to the relatively strong adsorption of the dinitriles as compared to the aminonitriles. By increasing the hydrogen partial pressure, higher yields of primary amine can be obtained. The models predict that operating in the mass-transfer regime at relatively high temperatures reduces the formation of the primary diamine. 相似文献

The oxidative absorption of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) into a solution of ferric chelate of trans-1,2- diaminocyclohexanetetraacetate (CDTA) was studied in a counter-current laboratory column randomly packed with 15 mm plastic Ralu rings. The present investigation takes concern about the Kraft pulping situation where dilute H2S concentrations are omnipresent in large-volume gas effluents. A fractional two-level factorial approach was instigated to determine the significance of six operating variables, namely the solution's alkalinity (pH; 8.5-10.5), the liquid mass flow rate (L;1.73-), the solution's ionic strength (IC;0.01-), the gas mass flow rate (G;0.19-), the inlet H2S concentration (CH2S,0;70-430 ppm) and the initial ferric CDTA concentration (CFe,0;100 -). Initially, a Plackett-Burman design matrix of seven duplicated experiments revealed that pH is the leading factor controlling the H2S conversion rate while the ionic strength and ferric CDTA concentration effects remained negligible within the factorial domain. Surface response analysis based on 11 duplicated factorial experiments plus 10 central composite trials revealed that the H2S conversion significantly increases with liquid flow rate but decreases with growing H2S load up. Further examination about the influence of ferric CDTA on H2S absorption rate was set up over a broader concentration range (CFe,0;0- at pH of 9.5 and 10.5. It showed good potential at as H2S conversion increased by a significant 25% for both pH values in comparison to pure alkaline solutions containing no ferric CDTA. 相似文献

Liquid propylene was polymerized in a 5‐L autoclave batch reactor using a commercially available TiCl4/MgCl2/Al(ethyl)3/DCPDMS Ziegler–Natta catalyst, with a phthalate ester as internal electron donor. The powders from these polymerizations were characterized using laser diffraction particle size distribution (PSD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and bulk density measurements. These characteristics were analyzed as a function of the process conditions, including hydrogen and monomer concentration, polymerization temperature, and the prepolymerization method. It was shown that polymerization temperature influences the powder morphology to a large extent. At low temperatures, high‐density particles were obtained, showing regular shaped particle surfaces and low porosities. With increasing temperature, the morphology gradually was transferred into a more open structure, with irregular surfaces and poor replication of the shape of the catalyst particle. When using a prepolymerization step at a relatively low temperature, the morphology obtained was determined by this prepolymerization step and was independent from conditions in main polymerization. The morphology obtained was the same as that observed after a full polymerization at temperature. Even when using a short polymerization at an increasing temperature, the morphology was strongly influenced by the initial conditions. The effect of variation in hydrogen concentration supported the conclusion that the initial polymerization rate determines the powder morphology. In the absence of hydrogen, high bulk densities, and regularly shaped particles were obtained, even at high temperatures. With increasing hydrogen concentration, the reaction rates increased rapidly, and with that changed the morphology. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 87: 1421–1435, 2003 相似文献

The synthesis of hyperbranched poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was investigated by varying the ratio chain transfer agent (CTA): monomer (methyl methacrylate, MMA): brancher (ethylene glycol dimethyl methacrylate, EGDMA): free radical initiator (AIBN) at various temperatures (50, 55, 60, 65, 70 °C). The rate of polymerization was observed to increase with temperature and concentration in brancher, whilst it was lowered by an increase in chain transfer agent concentration. The molecular weight of the samples increased with the ratios brancher: CTA and monomer: CTA. The polydispersity of the samples increase with conversion, as the level of branching increases. At fixed concentration in brancher, an increase of CTA concentration led to polymers with lower PDI. The variation of enthalpy and entropy relative to the monomer reaction were calculated, and it was observed that an increase in the brancher concentration induced an increase in both and , whilst lower CTA concentrations led to an increase in . The variation in Gibbs energy for the monomer reaction was calculated at 60 °C, and results confirmed the presence of a retardation effect when increasing CTA concentration generally observed in RAFT polymerization. 相似文献

Three reactive polymer systems have been examined with a new mixing device adapted on a classical rheometer in order to investigate reactive mixing situations encountered in polymer blends. After having characterized the bulk polymerization of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL), the polymerization of 40 wt% of ε-caprolactone into a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate (EVA) was run into the rheo-mixer. The kinetics of the reaction in dispersed media was observed slightly different from that in bulk since the characteristic time of ε-caprolactone diffusion into EVA is much lower than its time of mixing. On the other hand, it was observed that the molecular weight distribution of the poly(ε-caprolactone) is broader in dispersed media (Ip=2.6) than in bulk (Ip=1.6). A broadening of the molecular weight distribution in dispersed media was pointed out due to the fact that ε-CL monomer is partitioned between the EVA and PCL phases leading to a non-homogeneous concentration of monomer in the reactive phase.The polycondensation of 40 wt% of a epoxy-amine system into a polystyrene matrix was also investigated and the morphology of the resulting material examined. A gradient of structure and conversion was detected in a blend obtained from the assembly of two initially non-reactive layers. The gradient reveals that the amine diffuses faster than the epoxy leading to non-stoichiometry of the reactive functions across the sample. When the blend was polymerized under shear, the kinetic of the reaction remained unchanged regardless the level of shear. However, the morphologies were significantly different, pointing out the importance of the coalescence and droplet deformation phenomena. Spherical droplets were observed at 0.15 s−1, elongated droplets and fibers at 1.5 and 15 s−1. 相似文献

Nano-particulate high surface area CeO2 was found to have a useful methanol decomposition activity producing H2, CO, CO2, and a small amount of CH4 without the presence of steam being required under solid oxide fuel cell temperatures, 700-1000 °C. The catalyst provides high resistance toward carbon deposition even when no steam is present in the feed. It was observed that the conversion of methanol was close to 100% at 850 °C, and no carbon deposition was detected from the temperature programmed oxidation measurement.The reactivity toward methanol decomposition for CeO2 is due to the redox property of this material. During the decomposition process, the gas-solid reactions between the gaseous components, which are homogeneously generated from the methanol decomposition (i.e., CH4, CO2, CO, H2O, and H2), and the lattice oxygen on ceria surface take place. The reactions of adsorbed surface hydrocarbons with the lattice oxygen ( can produce synthesis gas (CO and H2) and also prevent the formation of carbon species from hydrocarbons decomposition reaction (CnHm⇔nC+m/2H2). VO·· denotes an oxygen vacancy with an effective charge 2+. Moreover, the formation of carbon via Boudouard reaction (2CO⇔CO2+C) is also reduced by the gas-solid reaction of carbon monoxide with the lattice oxygen .At steady state, the rate of methanol decomposition over high surface area CeO2 was considerably higher than that over low surface area CeO2 due to the significantly higher oxygen storage capacity of high surface area CeO2, which also results in the high resistance toward carbon deposition for this material. In particular, it was observed that the methanol decomposition rate is proportional to the methanol partial pressure but independent of the steam partial pressure at 700-800 °C. The addition of hydrogen to the inlet stream was found to have a significant inhibitory effect on the rate of methanol decomposition. 相似文献

A miniaturized methanol reformer with Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst-based microreactor suitable for the supply of hydrogen for a small proton exchange membrane fuel cell is designed and fabricated using microfabrication techniques. The microreactor () is constructed from glass and silicon substrates to form a serpentine catalyst-coated microchannel of 333 mm in length and cross-section of , designed based on mass and heat balance analyses using a one-dimensional model. The use of the high-performance Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst allows for higher hydrogen production rates than possible using a commercial Cu/ZnO catalyst. The microreactor is demonstrated to be capable maintaining a hydrogen production rate suitable for powering 1 W-class devices such as cellular phones. 相似文献

The effects of temperature on the kinetics of anaerobic sulphate reduction were studied in continuous bioreactors using acetate as an electron donor. Across the range of temperatures applied from 20 to , the increasing of volumetric loading rate up to 0.08 to resulted in a linear increase in reduction rate of sulphate. The increasing reaction rate showed a lower dependence on volumetric loading rate in the range 0.1-. Further increase in volumetric loading rate above was accompanied by wash out of bacterial cells and a sharp decrease in reaction rate. Despite a similar pattern for dependency of reaction rate on volumetric loading at all temperatures tested, the magnitude of reaction rate was influenced by temperature, with a maximum rate of observed at . The effect of temperature on maximum specific growth rate (μmax) and bacterial yield was insignificant. The values of maximum specific growth rate and yield were and 0.56-0.60 kg bacteria (), respectively. The decay coefficient (kd) and apparent saturation constant () were both temperature dependent. The increase of temperature resulted in decreased values of , and higher values for kd. Using the experimental data effect of temperature was incorporated in a kinetic model previously developed for anaerobic reduction of sulphate. 相似文献

The regeneration of a coked naphtha reforming catalyst (Pt/Re-Al2O3) was studied by kinetic investigations on the effective rate of coke burn-off. For temperatures of industrial relevance for the catalyst, i.e., below (deactivation), the coke burn-off within the cylindrical particles is determined by the interplay of chemical reaction and pore diffusion; limitation by external mass transfer can be excluded for . Based on the parameters of the intrinsic kinetics and of the structure of the catalyst (porosity, tortuosity), the regeneration process is modelled and discussed both on the level of a single particle and in a technical fixed bed reactor. The results of modelling are compared with data from lab-scale investigations (coke profiles within the particles) and the performance data of the regeneration in an industrial fixed bed reactor (moving reaction zone); the agreement of calculation and measurement is in both cases complete. 相似文献

A Pt-loaded Y-type zeolite (Pt/NaY) membrane was prepared on the surface of a porous α-Al2O3 support tube by hydrothermal synthesis and then ion-exchanged with platinum. The thickness of the zeolite layer and the amount of Pt loaded were ca. and , respectively. The membrane was employed in the form of a cylindrical thin catalyst for the selective oxidation of CO in an H2-rich mixture. A mixture of CO, O2 and H2 was fed to the outer surface of the membrane, and CO was selectively oxidized during its permeation through the thin layer. The permeation fluxes for H2 and CO were determined at 423-. Permeation fluxes also calculated by means of a mathematical model using effective diffusion coefficients and reaction kinetics. The effective diffusion coefficients through the zeolite membrane were estimated from gas permeation test data, obtained at 423-, and the oxidation rates of CO were determined over a particulate catalyst that had the same composition as the Pt/NaY membrane. As a result, the diffusion coefficients of O2, N2 and CO were determined to be (0.7-1.0) at 423-, and the activation energies for the rate constants for CO oxidation were 61-. The predicted permeation fluxes of H2 and CO using the mathematical model were in good agreement with the experimental data, when the oxidation selectivity of CO to H2 was assumed to be 80% in the model calculation. 相似文献

In the present work the absorption of carbon dioxide into aqueous piperazine (PZ) solutions has been studied in a stirred cell, at low to moderate temperatures, piperazine concentrations ranging from 0.6 to , and carbon dioxide pressures up to 500 mbar, respectively. The obtained experimental results were interpreted using the DeCoursey equation [DeCoursey, W., 1974. Absorption with chemical reaction: development of a new relation for the Danckwerts model. Chemical Engineering Science 29, 1867-1872] to extract the kinetics of the main reaction, 2PZ+CO2→PZCOO-+PZH+, which was assumed to be first order in both CO2 and PZ. The second-order kinetic rate constant was found to be at a temperature of , with an activation temperature of . Also, the absorption rate of CO2 into partially protonated piperazine solutions was experimentally investigated to identify the kinetics of the reaction . The results were interpreted using the Hogendoorn approach [Hogendoorn, J., Vas Bhat, R., Kuipers, J., Van Swaaij, W., Versteeg, G., 1997. Approximation for the enhancement factor applicable to reversible reactions of finite rate in chemically loaded solutions. Chemical Engineering Science 52, 4547-4559], which uses the explicit DeCoursey equation with an infinite enhancement factor which is corrected for reversibility. Also, this reaction was assumed to be first order in both reactants and the second-order rate constant for this reaction was found to be at 298.15 K. 相似文献

The work presents an evidence in support of chain length dependent termination during cross-linking polymerization. It is based on the behavior of the ratio of the bimolecular termination coefficient to propagation rate coefficient kp during the after-effect of a photo-induced polymerization. The chain-length dependence was manifested by a decrease of the ratio with the increase in dark reaction time faster than that resulting from the conversion increase. Two monomethacrylate/dimethacrylate and one dimethacrylate/dimethacrylate systems were chosen, which enabled to study the chain-length dependence as a function of cross-link density of the polymer being formed and physical properties of the initial composition. The ratios of the polymerization rate coefficients were calculated for various postpolymerization processes as a function of dark reaction conversion using the mixed termination model (concerning the bimolecular and monomolecular termination occurring parallel). A rapid drop of the ratio during the dark reaction was observed at the beginning of the after-effect and in slightly cross-linked systems suggesting a significant chain length dependence, but when the cross-link density increased with conversion or with cross-linking agent concentration in the feed, the drop of the ratio became much slower indicating that the chain length dependence decreased. 相似文献

An ultrafiltration hollow fiber enzymatic membrane reactor was employed to study the kinetics of lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of racemic ibuprofen ester. Lipase from Candida rugosa was employed in the hydrolysis reaction both in free form in a batch system and in immobilized form in an enzymatic membrane reactor (EMR). The half life (t1/2) of immobilized lipase on spongy layer was 105 h at reaction temperature of and 62 h at . This value was 94 h for lipase immobilized on the inner lumen and 45 h for free lipase in batch system at . Excessive substrate was found to inhibit the reaction as an uncompetitive inhibitor. The by-product 2-ethoxyethanol was found to be non-competitive inhibitor to the reaction when it was present in an excess. Michaelis constant (Km) and maximum reaction rate (Vmax) for immobilized lipase were and , respectively; and that for free lipase were and h-1, respectively. 相似文献

The present investigation takes concern about a spiny environmental problem afflicting the pulp mill industry exploiting the Kraft sulfate-pulp process where dilute total reduced sulfur contaminants are co-mixed with oxygen in large-volume gas effluents. A potential Redox process for removing the total reduced sulfurs consists in oxidizing them by means of iron(III) organometallic complexes while the co-mixed oxygen mediates the oxidative regeneration of iron(II) into iron(III) complexes. In this work, the oxidation kinetics of iron(II) trans-1,2,-diaminocyclohexanetetraacetate (cdta) complexes with molecular oxygen (O2) as the source oxidant was investigated for a wide pH range (1.75<pH<12) in a 3.2 dm3 single-phase stirred cell reactor within the [281-323 K] temperature range. Simultaneous measurements of iron(II)-cdta (50-) and O2 (0.5-) were used to clarify the reaction mechanism which has been interpreted differently in previous works. The observed kinetic data in alkaline solutions could be accounted for in terms of three forward [Fe2+cdta4-+O2 (rate-limiting, k1,app), , 2Fe2+cdta4-+H2O2] and one reverse [ (k-1,app,n=0 or 1)] elementary steps. Assessment of the rate-limiting apparent rate constant led to the following results ( at and , , ). Fe3+OH-cdta4-, being the dominating iron(III) product at pH>10, was found to be less reactive than Fe3+cdta4- with the superoxide intermediate , thus reducing the effect of the reverse step at higher pH. A study on the effect of electrolytes on the reaction rate led to the conclusion that salts increase the rate constant k1,app. Finally, kinetic results in acidic conditions leading to the formation of other iron(II)-cdta complexes (i.e., Fe2+cdta4-H+) and another superoxide intermediates are reported and discussed. 相似文献
