The kinetics of the dehydrogenation of naphthenes over a chromium oxide supported on alumina catalyst at temperatures of 400° C and above has been investigated. Cyclohexene has been detected and estimated in the products from cyclohexane, and it has been shown that side reactions producing olefine other than cyclohexene proceed at only 0.01 of the speed of the main reaction at 450° C. If the contact time is sufficiently long a stationary concentration of olefine is established. The linear nature of the plot of the reciprocal of the rate against the reciprocal of the pressure for cyclohexane and methyl cyclohexane has been demonstrated experimentally for the stationary state conditions, while the intercepts and slopes have been identified with functions of the rate constants. As a result of the study of the rate of dehydrogenation of cyclohexene it is concluded that the loss of the first pair of hydrogen atoms from cyclohexane is the slow step in the reaction. An activation energy of 36 kcal./g. mol. has been obtained for this step. The variation of the stationary olefine con­centration with temperatures indicates that for cyclohexane and methyl cyclohexane the loss of the first pair of hydrogen atoms is the step with the highest activation energy. The variation of rate with pressure and the behaviour when nitrogen and benzene are mixed with the reactants all prove that benzene and hydrogen act mainly as diluents. Evidence is presented from the failure to attain thermodynamic equilibrium between ethyl benzene, styrene and hydrogen during the dehydrogenation of ethyl cyclohexane for a stepwise mechanism in which a large proportion of the molecules evaporate from the surface after the loss of the first pair of hydrogen atoms.

The rates of dehydrogenation in competition experiments using mixtures of two naphthenes, or a naphthene and a cyclic mono-olefine or two cyclic mono-olefines, have been examined theoretically and experimentally for the stationary state conditions. Provided the two reactants can occupy the same sites on the catalyst surface, then the ratio of the rates should be directly proportional to the ratio of the partial pressures at any instant. Theory suggests that a constant which can be derived from these competition experiments should be independent of the overall pressures, or of the initial ratio of concentrations or of the overall extent of dehydrogenation. Further, the ratio of the rates in competition should bear no simple relationship to the ratio of the individual rates alone, but should be related to the slopes of the 1/rate against 1/pressure plot for the two components considered separately. Moreover, the constant should be a ratio of two functions each of which is characteristic of one of the naphthenes. The theoretical conclusions have been confirmed experimentally which proves either that the groups of active sites on the catalyst surface are widely separated or that any set of sites is available for the reaction of any molecular species, and no interference takes place between naphthene molecules adsorbed on adjacent sites. Proof that a naphthene and cyclohexene are dehydrogenated on the same sites is supplied by the observation that a constant is obtained when different mixtures of cyclohexene and trans -1:4-dimethyl cyclohexane are allowed to compete for the surface. The ratios for methyl, ethyl, the three dimethyl and the three trimethyl cyclohexanes in competition with cyclohexane have been accurately determined at temperatures of 400 and 450° C. From the constants so derived the activation energy differences for the removal of the first pair of hydrogen atoms has been obtained. These values are discussed in terms of the possible transition complexes, and it is shown that the reaction proceeds by the loss of a pair of hydrogen atoms simultaneously and not by a half-hydrogenated state mechanism. Using these activation energies and the experimentally found overall activation energy of 36 kcal./g. mol., the resonance energy per resonating structure was determined as 1-73 kcal. This is in good agreement with the energies of C-H bonds in alkyl radicals (2-2 kcal./g.mol./ resonating structure). The theoretical treatment suggests that the weakest C-H link in methyl cyclohexane should be in the three position to the methyl group. A study of the activation energies involved shows that the methyl cyclohexene produced from methyl cyclohexane is not 1-methyl-1-cyclohexene, thus confirming the theoretical deduction.

The reaction between sodium hypochlorite and potassium cyanate in the presence of sodium hydroxide has been examined. The main products are chloride, and carbonate ions and nitrogen; but, especially if much hypochlorite is present, some nitrate is formed as well. The rate of reaction is proportional to the cyanate and hypochlorite concentrations, but inversely proportional to the hydroxide concentration: the rate constant is 5.45 × 10−4 min.−1 at 65 °C, at an ionic strength of 2.2. The rate constant increases somewhat as the ionic strength rises from 1.7 to 3.5. The effect of temperature makes the apparent activation energy 25 kcal./gm-molecule. The kinetics of the reaction suggest that the slow step is really a reaction of hypochlorous acid and cyanate ions, and possible intermediate products of this reaction are suggested. Allowing for the different extent of hydrolysis of hypochlorite at different temperatures, the true activation energy is found to be 15 kcal./gm-mol., which is consistent with the observed rate of reaction.

The effect of gamma pre-irradiation of the mixed nickel-magnesium oxide catalyst on the kinetics of hydrogenation of maleic acid in the liquid phase has been studied. The changes of the hydrogenation rate are compared with the changes of the adsorbed amount of the acid and with the changes of the solution composition, activation energy, and absorbed dose of the ionizing radiation. From this comparison and from the interpretation of the experimental data it can be deduced that two types of centers can be distinguished on the surface of the catalyst under study, namely the sorption centres for the acid and hydrogen and the reaction centres.

It is often necessary to assess the effect of aging at room temperature over years/decades for hardware containing elastomeric components such as oring seals or shock isolators. In order to determine this effect, accelerated oven aging at elevated temperatures is pursued. When doing so, it is vital that the degradation mechanism still be representative of that prevalent at room temperature. This places an upper limit on the elevated oven temperature, which in turn, increases the dwell time in the oven. As a result, the oven dwell time can run into months, if not years, something that is not realistically feasible due to resource/schedule constraints in industry. Measuring activation energy (Ea) of elastomer aging by test methods such as tensile strength or elongation, compression set, modulus, oxygen consumption, etc. is expensive and time consuming. Use of kinetics of weight loss by ThermoGravimetric Analysis (TGA) using the Ozawa/Flynn/Wall method per ASTM E1641 is an attractive option (especially due to the availability of commercial instrumentation with software to make the required measurements and calculations) and is widely used. There is no fundamental scientific reason why the kinetics of weight loss at elevated temperatures should correlate to the kinetics of loss of mechanical properties over years/decades at room temperature. Ea obtained by high temperature weight loss is almost always significantly higher than that obtained by measurements of mechanical properties or oxygen consumption over extended periods at much lower temperatures. In this paper, data on five different elastomer types (butyl, nitrile, EPDM, polychloroprene and fluorocarbon) are presented to prove that point. Thus, use of Ea determined by weight loss by TGA tends to give unrealistically high values, which in turn, will lead to incorrectly high predictions of storage life at room temperature.

The effects of F− concentration, leaching temperature, and time on the Ti leaching from Ti-bearing electric furnace slag (TEFS) by [NH4+]-[F−] solution leaching process was investigated to reveal the leaching mechanism and kinetics of titanium. The results indicated that the Ti leaching rate obviously increased with the increase of leaching temperature and F− concentration. The kinetic equation of Ti leaching was obtained, and the activation energy was 52.30 kJ/mol. The fitting results of kinetic equations and calculated values of activation energy both indicated that the leaching rate of TEFS was controlled by surface chemical reaction. The semi-empirical kinetics equation was consistent with the real experimental results, with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.996. The Ti leaching rate reached 92.83% after leaching at 90 °C for 20 min with F− concentration of 14 mol/L and [NH4+]/[F−] ratio of 0.4. The leaching rates of Si, Fe, V, Mn, and Cr were 94.03%, 7.24%, 5.36%, 4.54%, and 1.73%, respectively. The Ca, Mg, and Al elements were converted to (NH4)3AlF6 and CaMg2Al2F12 in the residue, which can transform into stable oxides and fluorides after pyro-hydrolyzing and calcinating.

The non-enzymatic synthesis of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-leucine (Cbz-Phe-Leu) from lipophilic N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanine (Cbz-Phe) and hydrophilic L-leucine (Leu), by N, N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) as a condensing agent, was carried out using a reversed micellar system composed of bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) as a surfactant and isooctane. We successfully synthesized Cbz-Phe-Leu in a short time and investigated the effects of its operational conditions, the DCC concentration, w0, and the pH on the kinetic parameters and the maximum yields. For dipeptide synthesis, we had to add an excess of DCC with the substrates because of the side reactions of Cbz-Phe. From the pH dependency of the reactivity, a partially cationic form of Leu was better for a synthesis reaction because of the enrichment of Leu at the interface by anionic AOT. The optimum water content on the dipeptide synthesis was w0 = 28 due to the competition of the peptide synthesis and the side reactions. The maximum yield of Cbz-Phe-Leu was 0.565 at 80 h under optimum experimental conditions.

This study investigates the impact of carbon on the kinetics of the spark plasma sintering (SPS) of nano- and submicron powders WC-10wt.%Co. Carbon, in the form of graphite, was introduced into powders by mixing. The activation energy of solid-phase sintering was determined for the conditions of isothermal and continuous heating. It has been demonstrated that increasing the carbon content leads to a decrease in the fraction of η-phase particles and a shift of the shrinkage curve towards lower heating temperatures. It has been established that increasing the graphite content in nano- and submicron powders has no significant effect on the SPS activation energy for “mid-range” heating temperatures, QS(I). The value of QS(I) is close to the activation energy of grain-boundary diffusion in cobalt. It has been demonstrated that increasing the content of graphite leads to a significant decrease in the SPS activation energy, QS(II), for “higher-range” heating temperatures due to lower concentration of tungsten atoms in cobalt-based γ-phase. It has been established that the sintering kinetics of fine-grained WC-Co hard alloys is limited by the intensity of diffusion creep of cobalt (Coble creep).

Abstract As a complement to earlier investigations, and in order to examine more closely the connection between the chemical kinetics and the changes with vulcanization time of the physical properties in the case of vulcanization reactions, we used thiuram vulcanizations as an example, and concerned ourselves with the dependence of stress values (moduli) at different degrees of elongation and different vulcanization temperatures. We found: 1. Stress values attain a limiting value, dependent on the degree of elongation, but independent of the vulcanization temperature at constant elongation. 2. The rise in stress values with the vulcanization time is characterized by an initial delay, which, however, is practically nonexistent at higher temperatures. 3. The kinetics of the increase in stress values with vulcanization time are both qualitatively and quantitatively in accord with the dependence of the reciprocal equilibrium swelling on the vulcanization time; both processes, after a retardation, go according to the first order law and at the same rate. 4. From the temperature dependence of the rate constants of reciprocal equilibrium swelling, as well as of the increase in stress, an activation energy of 22 kcal/mole can be calculated, in good agreement with the activation energy of dithiocarbamate formation in thiuram vulcanizations.
