Photocatalytic and Catalytic Reactions in Gas–Solid and in Liquid–Solid Systems

2019

Abstract Heterogeneous photocatalytic and thermal-catalytic reactions are here presented focusing the differences and similarities between the two processes. When possible, the comparison was made for the same chemical reaction in the presence of an inorganic material playing the role of both catalyst or/and photocatalyst. Several examples are presented where a catalytic reaction can occur at milder experimental conditions and, particularly, at lower temperature when the system is also irradiated by UV and/or visible light. The differences in mechanistic aspects, conversions, and selectivities between catalytic and photocatalytic reactions will be also considered because these occurrences a…

The polyamides 3–5 were synthesized from α,ω-diamino-substituted oligo(oxyethylene)s (1) and bis-chlorides of dicarboxylic acids (2). As copolymers with defined sequences they contain up to five oxyethylene units per repeating unit. Hereby properties like solubility, thermal stability and complexing ability towards alkali metal cations are influenced.

Cu-exchanged Al-rich SSZ-13 zeolite from organotemplate-free synthesis as NH3-SCR catalyst: Effects of Na+ ions on the activity and hydrothermal stab…

2017

Abstract The relatively low activity at lower temperatures and high cost of SSZ-13 zeolite from organotemplate synthesis are two of major problems of presently commercialized Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts for NH3-SCR reaction. Cu-exchanged Al-rich SSZ-13 catalysts with Si/Al = 4 from organotemplate-free synthesis have been prepared, and show superior NH3-SCR performance with NO conversions above 85% at wide-temperature window ranging from 150 to 650 °C. Cu-Na-SSZ-13 catalysts with varied amount of residual Na+ were prepared by partial ion-exchange of as-prepared Al-rich Na-SSZ-13, and it’s found that Cu-Na-SSZ-13 catalyst with moderate Na+ content can improve both the low-temperature activity and its…

Thermal effects on small para-hydrogen clusters

2010

A brief review of different quantum Monte Carlo simulations of small (p-H2)N clusters is presented. The clusters are viewed as a set of N structureless p-H2 molecules, interacting via an isotropic pairwise potential. Properties as superfluidity, magic numbers, radial structure, excitation spectra, and abundance production of (p-H2)N clusters are discussed and, whenever possible, a comparison with 4HeN droplets is presented. All together, the simulations indicate that temperature has a paradoxical effect of the properties of (p-H2)N clusters, as they are solid-like at high T and liquid-like at low T, due to quantum delocalization at the lowest temperature. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of Experimental and Sample Factors on Dehydration Kinetics of Mildronate Dihydrate: Mechanism of Dehydration and Determination of Kinetic Para…

2014

The dehydration kinetics of mildronate dihydrate [3-(1,1,1-trimethylhydrazin-1-ium-2-yl)propionate dihydrate] was analyzed in isothermal and nonisothermal modes. The particle size, sample preparation and storage, sample weight, nitrogen flow rate, relative humidity, and sample history were varied in order to evaluate the effect of these factors and to more accurately interpret the data obtained from such analysis. It was determined that comparable kinetic parameters can be obtained in both isothermal and nonisothermal mode. However, dehydration activation energy values obtained in nonisothermal mode showed variation with conversion degree because of different rate-limiting step energy at hi…

Mesoporous molecular sieves of MCM-48 type were prepared by conventional hydrothermal and novel room temperature syntheses. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies have shown that nonagglomerate...

Properties and performance of a quadrupole mass filter used for resonance ionization mass spectrometry

1998

Abstract The performance of commercial quadrupole mass spectrometers (QMS) with a number of imperfections, as compared to the ideal hyperbolic geometry, has been characterized using the computer simulation program simion 3d version 6.0. The analysis of simulated QMS geometries focuses primarily on modeling of the internal potential, the study of field deviations, and the influence of finite length on performance of the QMS. The computer simulation of ion trajectories in the QMS field yields predictions for optimum working conditions and provides estimates for the resolving power and the maximum isotopic abundance sensitivity. Experimental measurements that confirm these expectations are pre…

Synthesis and crystal structure of α-NH4(VO2)(HPO4)

1992

Abstract Hydrothermal synthesis starting from β-NH 4 (VO 2 )(HPO 4 ) leads to α-NH 4 (VO 2 )(HPO 4 ): orthorhombic, space group Pb 2 1 a ; Z = 4; a = 6.830(1) A, b = 9.233(2) A, c = 8.817(2) A; R = 0.037 for 3371 reflections. NH + 4 cations connect isolated chains of trans -corner sharing VO 5 square pyramids running along the a -axis. The a -phase transforms irreversibly into the β-form by heating near 200°C. Comparison is made between the two phases.

On the Formation of Droperidol Solvates: Characterization of Structure and Properties

2014

A solvate screening and characterization of the obtained solvates was performed to rationalize and understand the solvate formation of active pharamaceutical ingredient droperidol. The solvate screening revealed that droperidol can form 11 different solvates. The analysis of the crystal structures and molecular properties revealed that droperidol solvate formation is mainly driven by the inability of droperidol molecules to pack efficiently. The obtained droperidol solvates were characterized by X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. It was found that droperidol forms seven nonstoichiometric isostructural solvates, and the crystal structures were determined for five of these solvates. To b…

2012

The synthesis, crystal structure, thermal analysis and spectroscopic studies of five zinc(II) complexes of formulae [Zn(Memal)(H2O)]n (1) and [Zn2(L)(Memal)2(H2O)2]n (2-5) [H2Memal = methylmalonic acid, and L = 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy) (2), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe) (3), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpa) (4) and 4,4′-azobispyridine (azpy) (5)] are presented here. The crystal structure of 1 is a three-dimensional arrangement of zinc(II) cations interconnected by methylmalonate groups adopting the μ3-κ2O:κO’:κO”:κO”’ coordination mode to afford a rare (10,3)-d utp-network. The structures of the compounds 2-5 are also three-dimensional and they consist of corrugated square layers of meth…
