Benzene and hydrogen

A technique used to overcome the unfavorable thermodynamics of one reaction is to couple that reaction with another process that is thermodynamically favored. For instance, the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane to form benzene and hydrogen gas is not spontaneous. Show that, if another molecule such as ethene is present to act as a hydrogen acceptor (that is, the ethene reacts with the hydrogen produced to form ethane), then the process can be made spontaneous. 

The performance of various solvents can be explained with the help of the role of these solvents in the reaction. These solvents help in keeping teth benzene and hydrogen peroxide in one phase. This helps in the easy transport of both the reactants to the active sites of the catalyst. The acetonitrile, and acetone adsorption data on these catalysts (Fig. 6), suggests that acetonitrile has a greater affinity to the catalytic surface than acetone. There by acetonitrile is more effective in transporting the reactants to the catalyst active sites. At the same time, they also help the products in desorbing and vacating the active sites.

There seems to be no great difference in the free energy between acyclic triene and the cyclic diene. This is because of smaller strain in the six-membered ring as compared with the four-membered one. On the other hand in 6n electron system in electrocyclic process there is more efficient absorption in the near regions of u.v. spectrum. This is why under both thermal and photochemical conditions, the (1, 6) electrocyclic reactions are reversible. Side reactions are more frequent in reversible. Side reactions are more frequent in reversible transformations of trienes than in dienes. The dehydrogenation of cyclic dienes to aromatic compounds may also occur in the thermal process. On heating cyclohexadiene yields benzene and hydrogen. 

The same catalysts which permit the addition of elementary hydrogen to a double bond are able to accelerate the opposite process—dehydrogenation, or elimination of hydrogen—when the temperature is altered. Thus cyclohexane is decomposed into benzene and hydrogen when passed over nickel or palladium black at about 300° (Sabatier, Zelinsky). The equilibrium...

Temperature will affect the degradation rate of different organic pollutants. Weir et al. (1987) reported that benzene and hydrogen peroxide are insensitive to temperature because photochemically induced reactions often have low activation energies. Koubek (1975) stated that temperature has little effect on the oxidation of refractory organics however, Sundstrom et al. (1986) observed that the decomposition rates of some halogenated aliphatics increased with temperature. 

The sheet of porous stainless steel with Re-carbon deposited film divided membrane reactor onto two equal parts. Cyclohexane vapors were fed to the surface of membrane with Re-carbon film (reaction part of membrane reactor) in argon flow from the thermostated bubler. The second part of reactor was flowed by argon and used for the removal of hydrogen, diffused through a membrane catalyst from the reaction zone. The products of reaction were benzene and hydrogen.

Irradiation of 1,3,5-hexatriene (81) in the vapor phase leads to the formation of 1,3-cyclohexadiene (82), benzene, hydrogen, and 1,2,4-hexatriene (83), in addition to a liquid polymer 63>. Determination of the quantum yield 64> led to the conclusion that 83 may originate from an electronically excited molecule, while benzene and hydrogen occur from a vibrationally excited ground state molecule (1,3-cyclohexadiene) formed by internal conversion from the electronically excited molecule. 

These estimates tend to indicate that the model proposed would yield roughly the right activation energy. It also explains the first order dependency of the rate on both the partial pressure of benzene and hydrogen. 

The Cu sheets, after being washed in acetone, where reduced "in situ" with hydrogen at the reaction temperature of each run. The rate of carbon formation was measured as a function of temperature, benzene and hydrogen partial pressures, and gas phase reactor residence time. 

Figure 2 shows the dependence of the rate of carbon deposition with initial hydrogen partial pressure. The rate depends on the hydrogen partial pressure with a negative order, i.e., the rate of deposition decreases with increased hydrogen pressure. The dependence of the rate on the initial benzene partial pressure is first order as revealed by the data on Figure 1. For fixed temperatures, benzene and hydrogen partial pressures, there is a critical gas phase residence time (t ) below which no appreciable deposition occurs. Above the critical residence time t, deposition occurs and its rate increases linearly with gas residence time. This is depicted in Figure 3.
