The kinetic parameters of reactivation of a carbonized hydrodesulphurization (HDS) catalyst by air were evaluated from combined thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) data. In addition, the gaseous products leaving a temperature-programmed reactor with a thin layer of catalyst were analyzed chromatographically. Two exothermic processes were found to take part in the reactivation, and their kinetics were described by 1st order equations. In the first process (180-400 °C), sulphur in Co and Mo sulphides is oxidized to sulphur dioxide; in the second process (300-540 °C), in which the essential portion of heat is produced, the deposited carbon is oxidized to give predominantly carbon dioxide. If the reaction heat is not removed efficiently enough, ignition of the catalyst takes place, which is associated with a transition to the diffusion region. The application of the obtained kinetic parameters to modelling a temperature-programmed reactivation is illustrated on the case of a single particle.

The out-of-equilibrium structural relaxation of Ag-Ni nanoparticles containing about 1000--3000 atoms was investigated computationally by means of molecular dynamics trajectories in which the temperature is decreased gradually over hundreds of nanoseconds. At low silver concentration of 10--30\%, the evolution of chemical ordering in Ni$_{\rm core}$Ag$_{\rm shell}$ nanoparticles with different surface arrangements is found to proceed spontaneously and induce some rounding of the nickel core and its partial recristallization. Fast cooling of an initially hot metal vapor mixture was also considered, and it is shown to disfavor silver aggregation at the surface. Silver impurities are also occasionally produced but remain rare events under the conditions of our simulations.
