Kinetic hard-modelling of multivariate spectroscopic data [1, 2] is a well-established method for the determination of reaction mechanisms and associated rate constants. Kinetic hard-modelling relies on a hard model defined by kinetic rate laws and require ...
Geometry and energy of the reactant (UO2(OH2)(5)center dot Cl+), the transition state (UO2(OH2)(5)center dot center dot center dot Cl+ double dagger), and the product (UO2Cl(OH2)(4)center dot OH2+) of the title reaction have been computed with complete act ...
Monodispersed Pd nanoparticles of 5 and 10 nm were obtained via reduction of Pd(acac)2 dissolved in ionic liquid (IL), [bmim][PF6], or [bmimOH][TF2N], supported on carbon nanofibers (CNF) anchored to sintered metal fibers (SMF). Using [bmimOH][TF2N], the m ...
The radical polymerization of bis-1,3(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2-propylmethacrylate dichloride revealed non-ideality with 0.59 and 4.4 for the reaction orders of the initiator and monomer concentration, respectively. Further, autoacceleration was observed ...
The ignition delay times of CH4/C2H6/C3H8 mixtures representative of an average natural gas composition have been measured in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at the University of Lille. The pressure at the end of compression (EOC) varied from 13 to 21 ba ...
A full thermal activation rate theory for dynamic strain aging is developed for the case where a single rate dependent strengthening mechanism controls dislocation motion in a material (e.g. solute diffusion). The analysis shows that negative strain-rate s ...
The Diels-Alder reaction has been examd. in room temp. ionic liqs. with high molar concns. of Lewis acids under various conditions. A molar ratio of 10% catalyst gave a large increase in the selectivity and the yield of the reaction. The effect of catalyst ...
The possibility to increase the performance (productivity or selectivity) of a chemical reactor by using periodic variations of reaction parameters (e.g. reactant concentration or temperature) has been theoretically envisaged since the beginning of the 70t ...
Process Analytical Chemistry/Technology has tremendously evolved in the last decades due to the development of multivariate online sensors that are able to monitor the properties of industrial processes in real time [1, 2]. Online monitoring of product qua ...
Systematic studies of mass transfer interactions with intrinsic reaction kinetics were performed for the threephase selective hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) to 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBE) over a modified Pd/CaCO3 catalyst under solvent ...
