The chemisorption of oxygen and of carbon monoxide by evaporated tungsten films has been studied between 20 and - 195° C and at pressures up to 10 -2 mm., with the primary aim of measuring the surface areas of the films. The two methods give results which agree, and the film areas have been determined to an accuracy of about 5 %. Chemisorption of oxygen is followed by a second process, probably an oxidation, which slows very rapidly as gas is taken up, and for which an activation energy of 7000 cal. has been evaluated. The heat of carbon monoxide chemisorption is so low in densely packed layers that measurable equilibrium gas pressures are required even at liquid-air temperatures for completion of chemisorption. Values for the fraction of the surface atoms covered at various temperatures and pressures have been obtained, together with isothermal heats at various coverages. At the lowest temperatures onset of second-layer formation has been observed; first- and second-layer formations do not form a stepwise process.

AbstractWe have studied the photoelectronic properities of a- Si(x),Ge(1−x):H alloy films and have concluded that there are depletion layers at the film surface and film/oxide interface that effect the determination of bulk quantum effieciencymobility- lifetime (nuT) products. From changes in dark conductivity activation energy with film thickness and the nuT product with wavelength of incident light we have estimated defeci sta:e lensitles. Our best x=0.5 film has an nuT value of 9×10−8 cm2 V−1 andaj defect state density near the Fermi level of approximately 5×10 cm−3 eV−1.

Oxidation Of Carbon Monoxide

The properties of pure and platinum-doped LaMnO3 perovskites, including their catalytic activities for the reaction of CO with oxygen, have been determined. Perovskite samples were prepared by decomposition of lanthanum and manganese citrates. The surface areas were 12.2 m2/g for pure LaMnO3 and 9.8 m2/g for the platinum-doped sample. The doping with a small amount of platinum markedly enhances the catalytic activity of LaMnO3 perovskite. The (CO + O2) reaction starts at 200 °C over LaMnO3 and at temperatures below 100 °C over a sample doped with Pt. The reaction kinetics for both the pure and platinum-doped LaMnO3 can be described by empirical equation (4). When Pt-doped perovskite is used, an increase in the apparent activation energy occurs at about 150 °C. This fact is attributed to a change in the mechanism of CO oxidation.

Abstract The thin layer drying of olive pomace was experimentally studied in a laboratory convective dryer. Drying experiments were performed under five air temperatures of 60, 70, 80 and 90ºC, two air velocities of 1.0 and 1.8 m s-1 and three thickness of thin layer of 6, 9 and 12 mm. The results show that the drying time decreased with increased in drying temperature and air velocity but increased with the decreasing of thin layer thickness of olive pomace. Over the experimental range studied, the values of effective moisture diffusivity and activation energy ranged from 1.25 • 10-9 to 6.30 • 10-9 m2 s-1 and 26.30 to 37.63 kJ mol-1, respectively. The dependence of these parameters on thickness of thin layer, and temperature and velocity of drying air has been investigated.

Background: The present study was focused on the development of HPLC method for purity testing of sofosbuvir by the Design of Experiments and determination of the activation energy of hydrolytic degradation reactions of sofosbuvir using HPLC based on the kinetics of sofosbuvir degradation. Methods: Following four factors for the Design of Experiments were selected, stationary phase, an organic modifier of the mobile phase, column temperature and pH of the mobile phase. These factors were examined in two or three level experimental design using Modde 11.0 (Umetrics) software. The chromatographic parameters like resolution, USP tailing and discrimination factor were calculated and analysed by partial least squares. The chromatography was performed based on Design of Experiments results with the mobile phase containing ammonium phosphate buffer pH 2.5 and methanol as an organic modifier. Separation was achieved using gradient elution on XBridge BEH C8 at 50 °C and a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. UV detection was performed at 220 nm. The activation energy of hydrolytic degradation reactions of sofosbuvir was evaluated using two different calculation methods. The first method is based on the slope of dependence of natural logarithm of the rate constant on inverted thermodynamic temperature and the second approach is the isoconversional method. Results and Conclusion: Calculated activation energies were 77.9 ± 1.1 kJ/mol for the first method and 79.5 ± 3.2 kJ/mol for the isoconversional method. The results can be considered to be identical, therefore both calculation methods are suitable for the determination of the activation energy of degradation reactions.
