The thermal isomerisation of allyl isocyanide to allyl cyanide has been studied in the gas phase over the temperature range 130–200 °C. The reaction is homogeneous and first order, and at high pressure (20 Torr) has an activation energy of 40.8 ± 0.6 (2sdm) kcal mol−1; the corresponding range of frequency factor is 1014.77±0.30 s−1.

This study presents the investigation of CVD diamond for the application of an UV TL dosimeter. A 9-μm-thick film used in this study presents a TL glow curve with a well-defined first-order kinetic peak (at about 273 K), which norm ally presents in the glow curve from ionizing radiations, is not observed. By fitting the glow curve to a first-order kinetic model, the trap activation energy E t = 0.95 eV and frequency factor s = 5.6 x 106 s -1 have been resolved.

Abstract The kinetics of the alkaline rearrangement of O,O-dimethyl-(2,2,2-trichloro-1- hydroxyethyl)phosphonate, (trichlorfon, 1), the active insecticidal component in such formulations as Dylox, was followed at 25±0.5°C by high pressure liquid chromatography (UV-vis detector, 210 nm). The rearrangement product, O,Odimethyl- O-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)phosphate (dichlorovos, 2), which is a more potent biocide than trichlorfon, undergoes further reaction, and the kinetics, consequently, cannot be treated by a standard pseudo-first-order plot. A two-point van't Hoff (initial rates) method was used to obtain pseudo-first-order rate constants (kѱ) at 25, 35 and 45°C: 2.6 × 10-6, 7.4 × 10-6 and 2.5 × 10-5 s-1, respectively. Arrhenius treatment of this data gave an activation energy (Ea) of 88 kJ·mol-1 with a pre-exponential factor (A) of 5.5 × 109 s-1. Kinetic trials at pH 8.0 using phosphate and tris buffer systems show no buffer catalysis in this reaction and indicate that the rearrangement is subject to specific base catalysis. Estimates are reported for pseudo-first-order half-lives for trichlorfon at pH 8.0 for environmental conditions in aqueous systems in the Corner Brook region of western Newfoundland, part of the site of a recent trichlorfon aerial spray program.

Microwave-assisted transesterification of non-edible oil to produce biodiesel is gaining attention due to lower heat loss as well as rapid conversion. In this study, esterified kusum oil as a feedstock was transesterified in the presence of Ba(OH)2. At 800 W microwave power and constant magnetic stirring the effect of important process parameters such as solvent methanol molar ratio, Ba(OH)2, temperature, and time on biodiesel yield were evaluated. The parametric study suggested that 9:1 M methanol, 65 ºC reaction temperature, 2.5 wt% Ba(OH)2 catalyst and 3.5 min of transesterification time gave close to 96% biodiesel yield. At the above conditions of methanol and catalyst, the reaction kinetics and thermodynamic study were performed using different time intervals. The microwave-assisted transesterification followed pseudo-first-order reaction rate with 34.57 kJ/mol K activation energy and 205664 min-1 frequency factor. The reduction in activation energy and increase in the frequency factor reveal the non-thermal effect associated with microwave heating. The thermodynamic properties evaluated using the Eyring equation suggests non-spontaneity and endothermic nature of transesterification.

The thermal decomposition of cyclobutane-1,2-dione has been studied in the gas phase at temperatures from 120 to 250 °C and pressures from 0.2 to 1.5 Torr. Products were C2H4 + 2CO, apparently formed in a simple unimolecular process. The first-order rate constant was strongly pressure dependent, and values of k∞ were obtained by extrapolation of plots of 1/k vs. 1/p to1/p = 0. Experiments in a packed reaction vessel showed that the reaction was enhanced by surface at the lower temperatures. Arrhenius parameters for k∞, corrected for surface reaction, were log A (s−1) = 15.07(±0.3) and E = 39.3(±2) kcal/mol. This activation energy seems too low for a biradical mechanism, and it is suggested that the decomposition is probably a concerted process. The vapor pressure of solid cyclobutane-1,2-dione was measured at temperatures from 22 to 62 °C and a heat of sublimation of 13.1 kcal/mol was estimated.

ABSTRACTGas phase reactions between trimethylgallium (TMG) and ammonia were studied at high temperatures, characteristic to MOCVD of GaN reactors, by means of insitu mass spectroscopy in a flow tube reactor. It is shown, that a very fast adduct formation followed by elimination of methane occurs. The decomposition of TMG and the adduct - derived compounds are both first order and have similar apparent activation energy. The pre-exponential factor of the adduct decomposition is smaller, and hence is responsible for the higher full decomposition temperature of the adduct relative to that of TMG.

The gas-phase thermal decomposition of dimethyldiazirine, (CH3)2CN2, at very slow rates has been investigated using precision gas-volumetric techniques previously applied to second virial coefficient studies. At 50-70� the first-order kinetics correspond to half-lives about 0.3-3.0 years. The present results, together with data obtained by other workers using conventional apparatus at 124-174�, fit a single log rate-reciprocal temperature activation energy equation.

The kinetics of pyrolysis of methylcyclohexane was investigated from the viewpoint of coke formation in a steel tubular reactor (S/V = 6·65 cm-1) at 0·1 MPa, 700 to 820 °C and residence time 0·01 to 0·24 s. Decomposition of methylcyclohexane proceeds as a first order reaction with a frequency factor 6·31 . 1015 s-1 and activation energy 251·2 kJ mol-1. The course of secondary reactions associated with the formation of coke is discussed. Investigation of coke formation showed a greater tendency of methylcyclohexane to coking in comparison with heptane. A prominent role plays the course of dehydrogenation of cycloalkane radicals up to aromates, this being reflected by the overall conversion of methylcyclohexane, and, on the other hand the thus formed aromates enter the consecutive reactions leading to coke.

AbstractThe decomposition of tert. butylperoxypivalate dissolved in n-heptane has been measured ir-spectroscopically in optical high-pressure cells up to 2000 bar at temperatures between 65 °C and 105 °C. The reaction follows a first order rate law with an activation energy Ea = 122.3 ±3.0 kJ · mol-1 and an activation volume ⊿V≠ = 1.6 ± 1.0 cm3 mol-1 .

At temperatures of the order of 250 °C., popcorn polymer undergoes decomposition to soluble polymer. The reaction is catalyzed by peroxides present in the popcorn when the latter is formed. These peroxides may be removed by extracting the polymer with benzene. The kinetics of both the catalyzed and purely thermal solubilization reactions were investigated. The rates of both reactions are first order, the catalyzed degradation having a higher activation energy and a higher frequency factor. The rate of the thermal reaction decreases and its activation energy increases with increasing butadiene content of the polymer. A linear relation between the activation energy and the log of the frequency factor, for the decomposition of popcorn polymers of different butadiene contents, was observed. The results indicate that the rate of solubilization is determined by the activation energy of the bond scission process, and is independent of the degree of cross-linking of the polymer.

The thermal decompositions of isopropyl N,N-dimethylcarbamate and t- butyl N,N-dimethylcarbamate are shown to occur over the temperature range 485-602 K through the reactions Me2NCO2Pri → Me2NH+CO2+MeCH=CH2 Me2NCO2But → Me2NH+CO2+Me2C=CH2 which are described as first-order unimolecular processes for which the rate equations are isopropyl k = 1013.04exp(-181209/8.314T) s-1 �t-butyl k = 1012.87exp(-157904/8.314T) s-1 For both carbamates these rate equations describe the rates of formation of the amine and the appropriate alkene but apparently overestimate the rate of carbon dioxide formation. The discrepancy in the carbon dioxide data is explained in terms of the formation of an amine-carbon dioxide adduct during the condensation stage of the analyses. The adduct is described as an ammonium carbamate which undergoes hydrolysis in solution to free the original amine. The existence of transesterification in the gas phase is ruled out.
