The catalytic activity and stability of the M-N4 macrocycle modified CNTs, especially in acid electrolyte, can also be enhanced by heat treatment processing [138, 141, 145]. Most heat treatment studies reported an continuous enhancement effect on the catalytic performance of the M-N4 macrocycle modified CNTs with the increase of annealing temperature up to 800 °C [138, 141, 144]. Kruusenberg et al. compared heat treatment effects on CoPc, FePc, CoP, and FeP modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes [141]. It was shown that the MP modified CNTs heat- treated at 800 °C exhibited higher ORR activity than the MPc modified CNTs [141]. 

To obtain a maximum yield of the acid it is necessary to hydrolyse the by-product, iaoamyl iaovalerate this is most economically effected with methyl alcoholic sodium hydroxide. Place a mixture of 20 g. of sodium hydroxide pellets, 25 ml. of water and 225 ml. of methyl alcohol in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask fitted with a reflux (double surface) condenser, warm until the sodium hydroxide dissolves, add the ester layer and reflux the mixture for a period of 15 minutes. Rearrange the flask for distillation (Fig. II, 13, 3) and distil off the methyl alcohol until the residue becomes pasty. Then add about 200 ml. of water and continue the distfllation until the temperature reaches 98-100°. Pour the residue in the flask, consisting of an aqueous solution of sodium iaovalerate, into a 600 ml. beaker and add sufficient water to dissolve any solid which separates. Add slowly, with stirring, a solution of 15 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid in 50 ml. of water, and extract the hberated acid with 25 ml. of carbon tetrachloride. Combine this extract with extract (A), dry with a httle anhydrous magnesium or calcium sulphate, and distil off the carbon tetrachloride (Fig. II, 13, 4 150 ml. distiUing or Claisen flask), and then distil the residue. Collect the wovaleric acid 172-176°. The yield is 56 g. 

During the nineteenth century the growth of thermodynamics and the development of the kinetic theory marked the beginning of an era in which the physical sciences were given a quantitative foundation. In the laboratory, extensive researches were carried out to determine the effects of pressure and temperature on the rates of chemical reactions and to measure the physical properties of matter. Work on the critical properties of carbon dioxide and on the continuity of state by van der Waals provided the stimulus for accurate measurements on the compressibiUty of gases and Hquids at what, in 1885, was a surprisingly high pressure of 300 MPa (- 3,000 atmor 43,500 psi). This pressure was not exceeded until about 1912. 

Oxidation. Carbon monoxide can be oxidized without a catalyst or at a controlled rate with a catalyst (eq. 4) (26). Carbon monoxide oxidation proceeds explosively if the gases are mixed stoichiometticaHy and then ignited. Surface burning will continue at temperatures above 1173 K, but the reaction is slow below 923 K without a catalyst. HopcaUte, a mixture of manganese and copper oxides, catalyzes carbon monoxide oxidation at room temperature it was used in gas masks during World War I to destroy low levels of carbon monoxide. Catalysts prepared from platinum and palladium are particularly effective for carbon monoxide oxidation at 323 K and at space velocities of 50 to 10, 000 h . Such catalysts are used in catalytic converters on automobiles (27) (see Exhaust CONTHOL, automotive).
