Effect of hydrogen on the ethylene polymerization process over Ziegler–Natta catalysts supported on MgCl2(THF)2. II. Kinetic studies

2001

This article reports on a study of the effects of hydrogen on the activity of vanadium and titanium catalysts supported on MgCl2(THF)2 in ethylene polymerization. It was found that hydrogen did not change the stable nature of the active sites and the polydispersity index of the polyethylene obtained. The propagation rate, expressed as kp, was found to be independent of the presence and concentration of hydrogen, indicating that this reacting agent does not modify the reactivity of the active sites. However, the presence of hydrogen in the polymerization medium is responsible for partial deactivation of the active sites just before polymerization is initiated.

Organometallic VCl4-based catalyst supported on MgCl2(THF)2 for ethylene polymerization

1997

A Ziegler-Natta catalyst was obtained by milling VCl4 with the magnesium support in the from of the MgCl2(THF)2 complex, followed by activation with an organoaluminum compound. This catalyst was employed in low-pressure polymerization of ethylene. The system was found to offer a very high activity and to polymerize ethylene at a rate of a few hundred kg PE/(g Vh) with the resulting molecular weight of the product very high. The kinetic investgation of the polymerization process revealed over 80 % of the transition metal atoms to be involved in the forming catalytic active sites, undergoing virtually no deactivation over the period of time studied.

Weryfikacja kinetycznego modelu polimeryzacji etylenu wobec metaloorganicznych katalizatorów wanadowych na nośniku magnezowym

1998

The kinetic studies are reviewed on low-pressure polymerization of ethylene over two types of organovanadium catalysts, viz., MgCl 2(THF) 2/VCl 4/Et 2AlCl and MgCl 2(THF) 2VOCl 3Et 2AlCl, each deposited on a magnesium carrier. The polymerization rate was found to be directly related to the catalyst and monomer concentrations (Figs. 2 and 3), unless when the access of the monomer to the reactive V-C bond is restricted by diffusion. Polymer chain termination step was found to result from the reaction of the transfer onto the monomer and to be associated with the regeneration of the active site on which a new macromolecule can be formed. A kinetic model was developed for the ethylene polymeriz…

Synthesis of oxide-supported vanadium catalysts and their activity in ethylene polymerization

1999

The activity of oxide-supported vanadium-based catalyst systems (VOCl 3/Et 2AlCl) in low-pressure ethylene polymerization and the properties of the resulting polyethylenes were studied in relation to the type and mode of modification of the oxide support. Alumina, silica and an un"conventional silica-type material prepared by the sol-gel process were used as supports. Results are compared with those obtained earlier with a catalyst supported on MgCl 2(THF) 2. Of the oxides studied, the silica-type sol-gel material dehydrated and subsequently modified with Et 2AlCl proved to be the best carrier for a vanadium catalyst. The polyethylene prepared by using this catalyst support was found to exh…

SUPERHYDROPHOBIC TIO2-FLUORINATED POLYSILOXANE NANOCOMPOSITES WITH PHOTOCATALYTIC CLEANING ACTIVITY FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE APPLICATIONS

Preparation of tungstophosphoric acid/cerium-doped NH2-UiO-66 Z-scheme photocatalyst: a new candidate for green photo-oxidation of dibenzothiophene a…

2021

International audience; The goal of this study was to introduce an effective visible-light induced photocatalytic system with a good ability for photocatalytic oxidative desulfurization (PODS) and denitrogenation (PODN) using molecular oxygen (O2) as an oxidant. In this regard, tungestophosphoric acid (PW12) was supported onto cerium-doped NH2-UiO-66 (PW12/Ce-NUiO-66) and employed for the photo-oxidation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and quinoline (Qu). Herein, using cerium (Ce) as a “mediator” facilitated the separation of charge carriers, while NH2-UiO-66 remarkably enhanced the surface area with plentiful adsorption sites and shifted the adsorption edge of PW12to the visible region. The sum …

Inside Cover: Hydrogen-Bonded Open-Framework with Pyridyl-Decorated Channels: Straightforward Preparation and Insight into Its Affinity for Acidic Mo…

2017

International audience; A hydrogen-bonded open framework with pores decorated by pyridyl groups was constructed by off-charge-stoichiometry assembly of protonated tetrakis(4-pyridyloxymethyl)methane and [Al(oxalate)(3)](3-), which are the H-bond donor and acceptor of ionic H-bond interactions, respectively. This supramolecular porous architecture (SPA-2) has 1nm-large pores interconnected in 3D with large solvent-accessible void (53%). It demonstrated remarkable affinity for acidic organic molecules in solution, which was investigated by means of various carboxylic acids including larger drug molecules. Competing sorption between acetic acid and its halogenated homologues evidenced good sel…

.Single-Ion Magnetic Behaviour in an Iron(III) Porphyrin Complex: A Dichotomy Between High Spin and 5/2-3/2 Spin Admixture

2020

International audience; A mononuclear iron(III) porphyrin compound exhibiting unexpectedly slow magnetic relaxation, which is a characteristic of single-ion magnet behaviour, is reported. This behaviour originates from the close proximity (approximate to 550 cm(-1)) of the intermediate-spinS=3/2 excited states to the high-spinS=5/2 ground state. More quantitatively, although the ground state is mostlyS=5/2, a spin-admixture model evidences a sizable contribution (approximate to 15 %) ofS=3/2 to the ground state, which as a consequence experiences large and positive axial anisotropy (D=+19.2 cm(-1)). Frequency-domain EPR spectroscopy allowed them(S)= |+/- 1/2⟩->|+/- 3/2&Rig…

POSTNATAL DEVELOPMENTAL CHANGES IN ENTERIC DOPAMINERGIC SYSTEM

2013

The postnatal period is a key period of life, characterized by the maturation of various organs and in particular of the gut. Currently, we have a poor understanding of the development of neurological and endocrine factors that control intestinal motility. Such knowledge can provide indications about the potency, efficacy, or therapeutic range of a drug in premature infants. Dopaminegic antagonists are often used as prokinetic drugs to treat impaired GI propulsion, although the role of the enteric dopaminergic system in the control of intestinal motility in neonatal vs adult has not been adequately addressed. In this view the aim of this study, was to examine, the functionality of the dopam…
