THE ROLE OF LATTICE OXYGEN IN THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF OXIDE CATALYSTS

The lattice of an oxide catalyst used for oxidation reactions can act as a reservoir for oxygen, storing and releasing it for reactions at the catalyst surface under appropriate conditions. The implication of this oxygen storage property of an oxide catalyst on its dynamic response characteristics has been investigated through an experimental study of 2-butene oxidation over vanadium oxide as a model reaction. Isothermal reaction rate measurements in a differential reactor and nonisothermal studies in a single pellet reactor have been carried out. Following a step increase in the feed butene concentration, isothermal reaction rate overshoot and pellet temperature overshoot were observed. These observations could be modelled in a qualitatively correct way by a very simple model accounting for the participation of lattice oxygen in the catalytic reactions under dynamic conditions. It is demonstrated through model simulations that the ignition characteristics of a catalyst pellet are significantly affected by the participation of the lattice oxygen, when steady state multiplicity is present.     

On the nature of the active state of silver during catalytic oxidation of methanol

Under the applied high reaction temperatures (900 K) the Ag surface is restructured and a tightly held oxygen species is formed on the surface (O) apart from O atoms dissolved in the bulk (O). Methanol oxidation to formaldehyde proceeds through this O species as demonstrated by application of a variety of spectroscopic techniques.     

Increasing productivity and protein content using early-maturing rices and efficient nitrogen management

Germplasm with shorter duration than that of the currently grown varieties is being generated to maximize productivity of irrigated rice. However, short-duration varieties often produce yields lower than the medium- and long-duration varieties. Experiments were conducted during the 1980–82 dry and wet seasons to increase productivity through the use of very early-maturing rices and the improved management of nitrogen (N) fertilizers.Results over three years showed that IR58 and IR9729-67-3 (growth duration 100 ± 5 days) yield as well as or higher than IR36 although earlier maturing. They generally had a higher productivity (kg ha^–1 day^–1) than IR36 (110 ± 5 days).Three years' data suggest that the improved timing of broadcast applications of urea in split doses increased grain yield comparable with the basal incorporation of slow-release sulfur-coated urea (SCU) or deep point-placement of urea supergranules (USG).Results on elite breeding lines showed that the early-maturing IR9729-67-3 produced higher protein yield ha^–1 than longer duration varieties such as IR8 and IR42 in the dry season. Furthermore, contrary to earlier results, single basal incorporation of slow-release SCU increased the protein yield of rice by 53 kg ha^–1 and deep point-placement of USG by 43 kg ha^–1 over split application of prilled urea.

Synthetic hydrogels: 3. Hydroxyalkyl acrylate and methacrylate copolymers: surface and mechanical properties

The surface and mechanical properties of copolymers of hydroxyalkyl acrylates and methacrylates have been examined by a variety of techniques. This work is complementary to earlier parts of this series which describe the effect of copolymer structure on water binding properties. Water structure has been demonstrated to exert a profound effect upon mechanical properties whether measured in compression or in tension. In particular, water that is characterized by differential scanning calorimetry as ‘freezing’ water is observed to have a marked plasticizing effect upon the gel, whereas ‘non-freezing’ water has little such effect. Similarly, the ‘freezing’ water produces a more marked effect on thermally induced transitions. Two distinct transition points are observed as a result of its presence. One corresponds to the freezing point of water and the other to a glass transition temperature, whose value depends upon the proportion of ‘freezing’ or ‘plasticizing’ water in the gel. Several predictive and direct measurement techniques have been used to study the surface properties of the copolymers in both hydrated and dehydrated states. Taken together they have established a sound understanding of the way in which polar and dispersive components of surface free energy vary as a function of copolymer composition and water content. Use of protein adsorption and fibroblast cell interaction techniques demonstrate that biological phenomena respond to changes at a molecular level which current macroscopic surface energy techniques are unable to discern.     

Thermoplastic extrusion—the mechanism of the formation of extrudate structure and properties

Systems processed by thermoplastic extrusion can be regarded as heterophase polymer melts of incompatible water-plasticized biopolymers. In the process of thermoplastic extrusion, proteins and polysaccharides are melted at high pressure and temperature below the temperature region of their thermal decomposition. Dispersed particles of these systems can be deformed in flow. The mixed-melt anisotropic structure, formed in flow, is fixed by rapid conversion of the melt jet that lets the extruder die from a viscous state to a rubber-like state and then to a glassy state caused by cooling and drying. Incompatibility of proteins and polysaccharides in their water-plasticized melt mixtures impacts on structure formation and texturization during thermoplastic extrusion.

Effect of the metal oxide loading on the activity of silica supported MoO3 and V2O5 catalysts in the selective partial oxidation of methane

Precipitated silica catalysts loaded with either MoO₃ (0.2–4.0 wt%) or V₂O₅ (0.2–5.3 wt%) have been studied in the selective partial oxidation of methane to formaldehyde with molecular oxygen at 520 °C. The functionality of the SiO₂ surface towards the formation of HCHO is significantly promoted by V₂O₅, while it is depressed by the MoO₃.     

Effects of oxidation on I2 doping of trans-polyacetylene as studied via e.s.r. and conductivity measurements

Oxidation of trans-polyacetylene lowers the activation energy for conduction from 16 kcal mol^?1 to 11 kcal mol^?1 for oxidation levels of (C₂H₂O_n)_x, n = 0.144, 0.207 and 0.550. Maximum conductivity levels for 0 < x < 0.144 doped with I₂ were almost identical. At long I₂ doping times all samples exhibited some loss of conductivity. E.s.r. experiments indicate that: (1) linewidth is directly proportional to oxygen content, and (2) iodine doping is not diffusion controlled. All data are consistent with a molecular picture of PAC consisting of highly reactive localized spin states that are selectively oxidized, and less reactive delocalized states that affect conductivity more strongly via doping.
