Residue curve maps for reactive distillation systems with liquid-phase splitting

A model has been developed to study the effects of chemical kinetics on the residue curve maps (RCM) for reactive distillation systems with liquid phase splitting. In the model, chemical reaction can occur in both or only one of the two liquid phases. The heating policy V/V₀=H/H₀ is applied so that the kinetic effect can be described by a single parameter, the Damköhler number Da. The effects of reaction kinetics on pseudohomogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures have been compared. The properties of their RCMs are the same outside, but are fully different inside the liquid-liquid (L-L) region if they have different chemical equilibrium curves. Inside the L-L region, the chemical equilibrium curve coincides to a unique reactive liquid-liquid tie line in case that the pseudohomogeneous chemical equilibrium curve intersects with the L-L envelope. When the reaction occurs in only one of the two liquid phases, the residue curves inside the L-L region are strongly affected by the L-L envelope, especially at high Da. In the present paper, first an illustrative arbitrary reaction system, and then the reaction of cyclohexene with water to cyclohexanol are analysed with respect to their RCMs.     

Kinetics of lipid oxidation in the presence of cinnamic acid derivatives

The effects of seven (prenyl‐ and methoxy‐) derivatives of cinnamic acid (0.1 mM) on the kinetics of lipid (sunflower oil triacylglycerols, TGSO) bulk phase oxidation at 80 °C have been compared. Synthesis of prenyl cinnamic acid derivatives: 3‐prenyl‐4‐hydroxy‐cinnamic acid (PHC), 3,5‐diprenyl‐4‐hydroxy‐cinnamic acid (DPHC), 2,2‐di‐methyl‐6‐carboxy‐ethenyl‐2H‐benzopyran (DMCB), 2,2‐dimethyl‐6‐carboxy‐ethenyl‐8‐prenyl‐2H‐benzopyran (DCEPB) present in Brazilian propolis has been performed. The monoprenyl derivative (PHC) has been found to exert a higher antioxidant activity as compared to the diprenyl derivative (DPHC). However, cinnamic acid derivatives DMCB and DCEPB have caused no change in the kinetics of TGSO oxidation. The results obtained have been compared with those on related compounds containing a cinnamic acid moiety as a structural feature, such as 4‐hydroxy‐cinnamic (p‐coumaric), 3‐methoxy‐4‐hydroxy‐cinnamic (ferulic) and 3,5‐dimethoxy‐4‐hydroxy‐cinnamic (sinapic) acids, as well as with data on butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and α‐tocopherol (αToc). PHC has shown a stronger antioxidant efficiency than BHT, p‐coumaric and ferulic acid, but a weaker antioxidant efficiency than α‐Toc and sinapic acid. The observed antioxidant effect of DPHC was stronger than that of p‐coumaric and ferulic acids and weaker than that of α‐Toc, BHT and sinapic acid.     

Kinetics of the hydroformylation of soybean oil by ligand-modified homogeneous rhodium catalysis

The kinetics and mechanism of the hydroformylation of soybean oil by homogeneous ligand-modified rhodium catalysts were investigated at 70–130°C and 4000–11,000 kPa. The effects of reaction rates on systematic variations in reaction parameters were evaluated in order to develop an industrial process to convert vegetable oils to polyaldehydes. The activation energies in the presence of triphenylphosphine (Ph₃P) (61.1±0.8 kJ/mol) (mean±SD) and triphenyl phosphite [(PhO)₃P] (77.4±5.0 kJ/mol) were determined. The catalyst was deactivated at temperatures higher than 100°C. An evaluation of the effects of the reaction parameters on initial rates yielded the rate laws for Ph₃P {rate=k [olefin][Rh(CO)₂Acac]^1.1 [Ph₃P]^−0.5 (pH₂+pCO)^1.4, where Rh(CO)₂Acac is (acetylacetonato)dicarbonylrhodium (I)} and (PhO)₃P {rate=[olefin] [Rh(CO)₂Acac]^1.2 [(PhO)₃P]^−0.8 (pH₂+pCO)^0.9 at total pressures lower than 7000 kPa, and rate =[olefin] [Rh(CO)₂Acac]^1.2 [(PhO)₃P]^−0.8(pH₂+pCO)^1.7 at total pressures higher than 7000 kPa}.     

Hydrogen incorporation in Ni–P films prepared by electroless deposition

Electroless NiP films, with 12 to 16 wt % P, were deposited from a moderately acid solution. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates the presence of occluded hydrogen in the layers, which desorbs upon heating. The amount of incorporated hydrogen decreases when the pH of the solution or the nickel sulfate concentration is increased; by contrast it increases with hypophosphite concentration. Cyclic voltammetry, using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, confirms the existence of parasitic reactions, namely the reduction of protons of the solvent during the cathodic process and oxidation of hydrogen during the dissolution of the layers. This behaviour is in qualitative agreement with the proposed reaction scheme.     

Kinetics of Solid-State Reactions in Heterogeneous Catalysis from Time-Resolved X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy

The potentials of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) (quantitative phase composition and average valence together with a short-range order structure analysis) combined with a time-resolution in the second range make time-resolved (TR-) XAS a powerful tool for investigating the reactivity of solids in catalysis and solid-state chemistry. General aspects of TR-XAS investigations are discussed (i.e., instrumentation, data analysis). In addition, some experiments illustrate how the kinetics of solid-state reactions in heterogeneous catalysis can be elucidated from TR-XAS studies.
