A new method for preparing highly active unsupported Mo sulfide. Catalytic activity for hydrogenolysis of 4-(1-naphthylmethyl)bibenzyl

ABSTRACT A new method for preparation of Human Menopausal Gonadotrophin involves successively alcoholic precipitation, kaolin adsorption and chromatography on ion exchangers. A highly active material is obtained which corresponds to 1 mg per litre of urine and has an activity of 1 mouse uterus unit at a dose of 0.003 mg. This gonadotrophin possesses both follicle stimulating and luteinizing activities in hypophysectomized female rats, by histological study. It contains 13 % hexose, 10% hexosamine and 8.5 % sialic acid. A further purification, by zone electrophoresis on starch, gives a final product, biologically active at 0.001 mg, which behaves as an homogenous substance in free electrophoresis with mobility −4.76 × 10−5 at pH 8.6.

Catalytic Stability

The C6H6.Ti(II)(AlBr4)2 (Ib) catalyst deactivates during the butadiene cyclotrimerization to give a solid containing all titanium (mostly as TiBr3) and a mixture of AlBr3 and RAlBr2 compounds dissolved in benzene. The residual cationic catalytic activity of the deactivated Ib system is due to presence of AlBr3. In contrast to TiCl3, the deactivated Ib system and the model system TiBr3 + AlBr3 are not activated by the addition of EtAlCl2 in the presence of butadiene: the highly active benzenetitanium(II) system is re-constituted only after reduction of TiBr3 with Et3Al followed by the addition of EtAlCl2. The addition of Et2AlBr to Ib accelerates the deactivation of the system. Deactivation products of this system contain mainly Ti(II) species which forms benzenetitanium(II) catalytic system after addition of EtAlCl2. All the EtAlCl2 reactivated systems produce (Z, E, E)-1,5,9-cyclododecatriene with high catalytic stability and considerable selectivity (>90%). This behaviour points to the catalysis by benzenetitanium(II) chloroalane complexes containing only low amount of bromine atoms and ethyl groups.

Comprehensive Characterization

The correlation between the occurrence state of surface Pd species of Pd/CeO2 for lean CH4 combustion is investigated. Herein, by using a reduction-deposition method, we have synthesized a highly active 0.5% PdO/CeO2-RE catalyst, in which the Pd nanoparticles are evenly dispersed on the CeO2 nanorods CeO2-R. Based on comprehensive characterization, we have revealed that the uniformly dispersed Pd nanoparticles with a particle size distribution of 2.3 ± 0.6 nm are responsible for the generation of PdO and PdxCe1−xO2−δ phase with –Pd2+–O2−–Ce4+– linkage, which can easily provide oxygen vacancies and facilitate the transfer of reactive oxygen species between the CeO2-R and Pd species. As a consequence, the remarkable catalytic activity of 0.5% Pd/CeO2-RE is related to the high concentration of PdO species on the surface of the catalyst and the synergistic interaction between the Pd species and the CeO2 nanorod.

Pak2 Activation

ABSTRACT We have previously reported that Nef specifically interacts with a small but highly active subpopulation of p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2). Here we show that this is due to a transient association of Nef with a PAK2 activation complex within a detergent-insoluble membrane compartment containing the lipid raft marker GM1. The low abundance of this Nef-associated kinase (NAK) complex was found to be due to an autoregulatory mechanism. Although activation of PAK2 was required for assembly of the NAK complex, catalytic activity of PAK2 also promoted dissociation of this complex. Testing different constitutively active PAK2 mutants indicated that the conformation associated with p21-mediated activation rather than kinase activity per se was required for PAK2 to become NAK. Although association with PAK2 is one of the most conserved properties of Nef, we found that the ability to stimulate PAK2 activity differed markedly among divergent Nef alleles, suggesting that PAK2 association and activation are distinct functions of Nef. However, mutations introduced into the p21-binding domain of PAK2 revealed that p21-GTPases are involved in both of these Nef functions and, in addition to promoting PAK2 activation, also help to physically stabilize the NAK complex.

Bulk vanadium-chromium oxide (VCrO) catalyst was prepared and characterized by N2 adsorption, XRD, NH3-TPD, H2-TPR, and Raman spectroscopy. XRD and Raman results showed that the VCrO catalyst was a kind of VV-CrIII composite oxide mainly consisted of crystalline V2O5 and CrVO4-Ⅲ (orthorhombic). NH3-TPD and H2-TPR results revealed that this catalyst had negligible surface acidity, and was easily reduced due to the formation of CrVO4-Ⅲ. Their catalytic activity was evaluated in the ammoxidation of 3-picoline to nicotinonitrile. Catalytic results showed that the bulk VCrO catalyst was highly active and selective; the nicotinonitrile selectivity and yield was up to 96.1%, 88.2% respectively at atmospheric pressure and 360 °C. The high selectivity was related closely to the low surface acidity of the catalyst.

The catalytic activity of oxidation-reduction pre-treated Ni3Al powder for methane steam reforming was examined. The oxidation-reduction pre-treatment consisted of two steps: oxidation in air at various temperatures from 973 to 1373 K, and then followed by reduction in H2 at 873 K. It was found that the oxidation-reduction treatments significantly reduced the onset temperature of activity, i.e., improved the activity of Ni3Al powder at low temperatures. The characterization of Ni3Al surface showed that an outer surface layer of fine NiO particles were formed on the surface of Ni3Al after oxidation. These NiO particles were reduced to metallic Ni by the subsequent reduction treatment, resulting in the high activity for methane steam reforming. These results indicate that the Ni3Al can form highly active surface structure with oxidation-reduction treatment, having excellent heat resistance.
