Stabilization of ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts for steam catalytic cracking of naphtha for production of propene and ethene
2012
In order to increase ethene and propene, naphtha steam catalytic cracking has been considered. The cracking of C 5-C 12 n-alkanes with ZSM-5 has been studied in absence and in presence of steam and the influence of the operation variables was studied. Irreversible catalyst deactivation by dealumination also occurs in the reactor when the cracking is carried out in the presence of steam. To diminish steam deactivation, the influence of zeolite Si/Al framework and a postsynthesis treatment by phosphorous have been studied and optimized. Much more stable catalyst can be achieved that result in an increase in activity without penalty for production of ethene and propene.
Synthesis and Characterization of Adducts Derived from the syn-Diastereomer of Benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-Dihydrodiol 9,10-Epoxide and the 5‘-d(CCTATAGATATCC…
1996
5'-d(CCTATAGATATCC) was reacted with each syn-enantiomer of trans-7,8-dihydroxy 9,10-epoxy 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (syn-BPDE). The (-)-enantiomer yielded one dominating adduct, whereas the (+)-enantiomer resulted in two major adducts. As indicated by optical spectroscopic methods, the major adduct derived from both (-)- and (+)-syn-BPDE involves cis addition of the C-10 position of the diol epoxide to the exocyclic amino group of deoxyguanosine [(-)-syn-BPDEc-N2-dG and (+)-syn-BPDEc-N2-dG, respectively], whereas the minor (+)-syn-BPDE adduct is identical to a trans adduct [(+)-syn-BPDEt-N2-dG]. The cis adducts as well as the (+)-syn-BPDEt-N2-dG adduct are chemically stable for sev…
Formation in solution, synthesis and crystal structure of μ-oxalatobis[bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amido] dicopper(II)
1989
Abstract The compound μ-oxalatobis[bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amido] dicopper(II), [Cu 2 {(NCsH 5 CO) 2 N} 2 - (C 2 O 4 )] was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopy, EPR and diffraction methods. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with cell constants: a =7.6793(6), b =9.238(2), c =10.007(2) A, α=83.80(1), β=68.37(1) and γ=69.44(1)°; V =617.7(3) A 3 , D (calc., Z =2)=1.80 g cm −3 , M r =667.6, F (000)=336, λ, (Mo Kα)=0.71069 A, μ (Mo Kα)=17.895 cm −1 and T =295 K. A total of 3587 data were collected over the range of 1 ⩽ θ ⩽ 30°; of these, 2391 (independent and with I⩾2σ( I )) were used in the structural analysis. The final R and R w residuals were 0.049 and 0.053, respective…
Mass spectra of methoxychlorobenzenes (chloroanisoles)
1988
Electron impact mass of all 19 ring-substituted chloroanisoles have been investigated. The fragmentation pathways were elucidated with the aid of the 1st field-free region metastable ions. The greatest disparity between the spectra of the positional isomers is shown with the [M−CH 3 ] + and [M−CH 2 O] +• ions, i.e., the ortho and para isomers preferentially lose • CH 3 , whereas the meta isomers generally show both loss of • CH 3 and elimination of formaldehyde, the latter process being more dominant with the meta-monochloro and di- and trichloro isomers having two meta-chlorine atoms. Characteristic for all isomers is also the abundant M +• and [M−CH 3 −CO] + ions, the other fragmentation …
Interaction of the Dioxouranium(VI) Ion with Aspartate and Glutamate in NaCl(aq) at Different Ionic Strengths
2005
The formation of complexes species of the dioxouranium(VI) ion with aspartic and glutamic acids was studied in the pH range of 3 to 6 at 25 °C by potentiometric measurements (H+−glass electrode). R...
Tungsten(VI)-gluconic acid complexes: Polarimetric and13C-N.m.r. Studies in an excess of tungsten(VI)
1986
A polarimetric study of the tungsten (VI)-gluconic acid system in an excess of metal reveals the formation of four stable complexes: two monomers with 1 : 2 and 2: 1 stoichiometries and two dimers of 2:2 composition. The pH ranges of these species, the amount of acid equivalents their formation requires, and their conditional stability constants have also been calculated.
Microparticles derived from marine sponge collagen (SCMPs): preparation, characterization and suitability for dermal delivery of all-trans retinol.
2002
Abstract Collagen microparticles were prepared using marine sponge collagen. For this purpose a previous method by Rossler et al. (J. Microencapsul. 12 (1995) 49) of emulsification and cross-linking of native calf collagen was modified. The modified method for sponge collagen microparticles (SCMPs) achieved a yield of 10%. Scanning electromicroscopic photographs showed spherical particles with a diameter of 120–300 nm and photon correlation spectroscopic measurements indicated particle size range from 126 (±2.9) to 2179 (±342) nm. This broad size distribution was caused by some agglomerates that could not be destroyed by ultrasonication. The surface charge was measured as a function of pH. …
Comparison and Rationalization of Droperidol Isostructural Solvate Stability: An Experimental and Computational Study
2014
In order to find a tool for comparison of solvate stability and to rationalize their relative stability, droperidol nonstoichiometric isostructural solvates were characterized experimentally and computationally. For the experimental evaluation of stability, three comparison tools were considered: thermal stability characterized by the desolvation rate, desolvation activation energy, and solvent sorption–desorption isotherms. It was found that the desolvation process was limited by diffusion, and the same activation energy values were obtained for all of the characterized solvates, while the solvent content in the sorption isotherm was determined by the steric factors. Therefore, the only cr…
A unified view of ligand-protected gold clusters as superatom complexes
2008
Synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of self-assembled, ligand-stabilized gold nanoparticles are long-standing issues in the chemistry of nanomaterials. Factors driving the thermodynamic stability of well documented discrete sizes are largely unknown. Herein, we provide a unified view of principles that underlie the stability of particles protected by thiolate (SR) or phosphine and halide (PR 3 , X) ligands. The picture has emerged from analysis of large-scale density functional theory calculations of structurally characterized compounds, namely Au 102 (SR) 44 , Au 39 (PR 3 ) 14 X 6 − , Au 11 (PR 3 ) 7 X 3 , and Au 13 (PR 3 ) 10 X 2 3+ , where X is either a halogen or a thiol…
Utilisation of pectin coating to enhance spray-dry stability of pea protein-stabilised oil-in-water emulsions
2010
International audience; In this study, development of pea (Pisum sativum) protein stabilised dry and reconstituted emulsions is presented. Dry emulsions were prepared by spray-drying liquid emulsions in a laboratory spray-dryer. The effect of drying on the physical stability of oil-in-water emulsions containing pea protein-coated and pea protein/pectin-coated oil droplets has been studied. Oil-in-water emulsions (5 wt.% Miglyol 812 N, 0.25 wt.% pea protein, 11% maltodextrin, pH 2.4) were prepared that contained 0 (primary emulsion) or 0.2 wt.% pectin (secondary emulsion). The emulsions were then subjected to spray-drying and reconstitution (pH 2.4). The stability of the emulsions to dry pro…
