Kinetics of methylamine conversion on a Pd catalyst in the presence of H2

The kinetics of disproportionation of methylamine to dimethylamine and ammonia in the presence of hydrogen have been investigated over a silica-supported palladium catalyst. At a fixed partial pressure of methylamine, the reaction rate generally increases with decreasing hydrogen partial pressure, approaching a limiting or maximum value at sufficiently low pressures of hydrogen. The existence of a maximum is supported by the observation that the presence of some hydrogen appears to be necessary for the reaction to proceed at a conveniently measurable rate. At a fixed hydrogen partial pressure, the reaction rate increases with increasing methylamine partial pressure. When the methylamine partial pressure is sufficiently low or the hydrogen partial pressure is sufficiently high, the reaction order with respect to methylamine can be somewhat higher than one. At such conditions, a mechanism involving a bimolecular reaction between two partially dehydrogenated methylamine molecules on the surface appears to make a significant contribution to the overall catalytic reaction.     

ANALYSIS OF OPEN SUN DRYING EXPERIMENTS

Open sun drying has lost its previous importance due to the fact that different factors affect its reliability and the quality of the products obtained.

One of the set-backs for the analysis of solar drying exoeriments is their deoendence on a non-controlled source of energy, i.e. solar radiation depends on climatic conditions and experiments are difficult to compare. It is thus necessary to investigate the advantages of a particular set up as well as the climatic influences. Open sun drying could constitute the natural reference, allowing the comparison of different drying strategies.

A new way of standardizing drying times, based on solar radiation inout, is proposed, to allow better evaluation of the experiments. An equivalent time is defined, allowing comparison of experiments carried out under different circumstances. Carrots and potatoes were used in these experiments.

The use of the average daily solar radiation 15.28 MJ m^-2.d^-1 in Palma de Mallorca (39.33°N, 2.37°E), is proposed for comparison purposes. An improvement of more than 12 % in the explained variance was observed, the unexplained variance being lower than 1 %.     

On the use of the WLF model in polymers and foods.

The validity of the WLF model with fixed "universal" coefficients was tested against that of the model original form with variable coefficients using published coefficients of polymers and amorphous sugars crystallization and viscosity data. The disagreement between the two versions of the model is particularly large at temperature ranges starting about 20 to 30 degrees K above the glass transition or reference temperature, excluding the former from being a model of general applicability. Because the WLF model mathematical structure entails the existence of an almost linear region near the reference temperature, establishment of its validity as a kinetic model and meaningful determination of its constants requires data spread over an extended temperature range, especially when the experimental results have a scatter.

Reactivity study and kinetic evaluation of CuO-based oxygen carriers modified by three different ores in chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU) process

In the chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU) process,CuO is a promising material due to the high oxygen carrier capacity and exothermic reaction in fuel reactor but limited by the low melting point.The combustion rate of carbon is faster than the decoupling rate of oxygen carrier (OC).Hence,high tem-perature tolerance and rapid oxygen release rate of CuO modified by three different ores were investi-gated in this study.The kinetics analysis of oxygen decoupling with Cu-based oxygen carriers was also evaluated.Results showed that CuO modified by chrysolite had faster oxygen release rate than that of CuO.Limestone showed obvious positive effect on the oxidization process.The selected OCs could keep stable in at least 20 cycles,for about 1200 min.Shrinking core model (SCM) fitted well for the decoupling process in the temperature range of 1123-1223 K.Reduction rate kinetic information may aid in the development of chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU) technologies during reactor design and process modeling.Ternary doped copper oxide with chrysolite and limestone could improve the reactivity of CuO in decoupling and coupling process and also improve the high temperature tolerance.

Oxidation Behavior of a Single-Crystal Ni-Base Superalloy in Air—II: At 1000, 1100, and 1150°C

The oxidation behavior of a single-crystal (SC) Ni-base superalloy was studied over the temperature range from 1000–1150°C and analysed by TGA, XRD, EDAX, and SEM. The results indicated that the SC Ni-base superalloy exhibited parabolic oxidation kinetics, which were controlled by the growth of the inner -Al₂O₃ layer. A mixed scale formed on the SC Ni-base superalloy after prolonged oxidation. The scale consisted of an outer layer of spinel, a sublayer of mainly -Al₂O₃ with small amount of spinel adjoined by a very thin and even discontinuous layer of CrTaO₄-rich oxide, and an inner -Al₂O₃ layer. The inner -Al₂O₃ layer provided good protection. No internal oxides or nitrides were observed below the inner -Al₂O₃ layer after 1000 hr at 1000°C, and after 200 hr at 1100 and 1150°C.
