Abstract A detailed kinetic modeling of the noncatalytic processes of thermal pyrolysis and steam and carbon dioxide reforming of methane revealed almost completely identical kinetics of the methane conversion in these processes. This suggests that, in the temperature range 1400–1800 K, the initial stage of conversion of methane in all these processes is its thermal pyrolysis. The modeling results agree well with the experimental data on methane pyrolysis. For the temperature range examined, the Arrhenius expressions (pre-exponential factors and activation energy) were obtained in the first-order kinetics approximation for the rate of methane conversion in the processes studied. The expressions derived may be useful for making preliminary estimates and carrying out engineering calculations.

The kinetics of the adsorption of orthophosphate (Pi), inositol hexaphosphate (IHP), inositol monophosphate (IMP) and glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) by short-range ordered precipitate of Al were studied at the initial pH 4.50 and in the temperature range of 278–308 K. This information is essential for understanding the rate and energy relationship of the adsorption of phosphates by short-range ordered Al precipitate. The amounts of Pi and IHP adsorbed by the Al precipitate were much higher than those of IMP and G6P adsorbed in the temperature range and reaction periods studied. The adsorption can be divided into two stages, a fast adsorption before 1 h and a slow adsorption between 1 and 24 h. The adsorption at both stages obeyed the first-order kinetics. Among all the phosphates studied, the adsorption of Pi proceeded most rapidly. The rate constants for the adsorption of IHP were much greater than those of G6P and IMP at the same temperature; this was attributed to the functionality of multiple phosphate groups of IHP. The Arrhenius activation energies for the adsorption of Pi, IHP, IMP and G6P, which were estimated from the slow reaction, were 48 ± 2, 89 ± 4, 100 ± 8 and 108 ± 10 KJ/mol P adsorbed, respectively. Key words: Organic phosphate, precipitate of aluminum, adsorption, rate constant, Arrhenius activation energy

AbstractThe extraction of a coal-tar pitch with supercritical carbon dioxide was performed under optimal pressure, flow rate, and three different constant temperatures. The extraction kinetics was examined for each temperature and it was surprisingly found that the extraction rate of most components was governed by the first-order kinetics. It was assumed that this deviation from typical models of supercritical fluid extraction kinetics was caused by high pitch concentrations and low solubilities of the components.

The production of syngas via carbon dioxide reforming or dry methane reforming (DMR) was studied in the present study. To reduce pressure drop and improve the performance, the reaction was carried out over a 10%Ni/Al2O3-MgO catalyst in a wall-coated monolith reactor at about 600°C, atmospheric pressure. The monolith reactor comprised of 37 circular flow channels of 3-mm-diameter. The reactant gases i.e. CH4and CO2at stoichiometric molar ratio of 1:2 was fed into the reactor at the volumetric flow rate of 450, 600 and 750 mL/min corresponding to various gas space velocities (GSV) i.e. 0.57, 0.76, and 0.96 s-1, respectively. Under 24-hr continuous operations, the stability of system could be sustained and the deactivation by carbon deposition was not observed. The experimental results did show that the conversion of methane depended upon the GSV i.e. the %CH4conversion were 50, 45 and 40% for the GSV of 0.57, 0.76, and 0.96 s-1, respectively. In addition, the %H2yield, %H2selectivity, %CO yield, %CO selectivity also depended on the feeding rate and so affected the performance of the wall-coated monolith reactor as a reformer.

The thermal oxidation of ε-caprolactam or N-octylbutyramide in the liquid phase is a chain radical reaction. In the initial stage, the only reaction product is the corresponding amide hydroperoxide, formed from peroxy radicals by a second-order termination reaction. The rates of thermal oxidation reactions initiated with 7,7'-dicumenyl peroxide or 1,1'-azodi(cyclohexanecarbonitrile) and the rates of initiation reactions were measured in the temperature range 80-130 °C. Using the values thus obtained, the ratios of rates of the propagation and termination steps, k2 . k6-1/2, characterizing the oxidizability compounds, were calculated.

Hydrate formation from cyclopentane (CP) and carbon dioxide was measured at 281 K by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and macroscopic methods. The effect of initial pressure and CP mass fraction in liquid phase was analyzed. The results showed that hydrate formation was assumed to start with the nucleation of the mixed CP-CO2 hydrate with small fraction of CO2 followed by a large continuous CO2 adsorption. Initial pressure was found to have a positive correlation with the total CO2 consumptions when the initial pressure was below 2.5 MPa. However, the total CO2 consumptions dropped by over a half as the initial pressure was 3.0 MPa. PXRD revealed that all the hydrate samples formed at different initial pressures were structure II. The CO2 consumptions were assumed to be inhibited by the competitive occupation of 51264 cages between CP and CO2 molecules when the initial pressure was above 2.5 MPa. The CO2 consumptions were also found to be reduced as the CP mass fraction was above 0.25. An excess of CP molecules was not assumed to strengthen the formation of the mixed CP-CO2 hydrates at the initial stage, but increased the thickness of liquid CP film at aqueous brine and hydrate particles, which increased the diffusion resistance of CO2 molecules. Therefore, the suitable initial pressure and the CP mass fraction for the mixed CP-CO2 hydrate formation should be around 2.5 MPa and 0.2, respectively.
