Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform reaction

Although acetone was a major product, it was not observed by infrared spectroscopy. Flowing helium/acetone over the catalyst at room temperature gave a prominent carbonyl band at 1723 cm 1 (not show here). In this study, a DRIFTS (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy) cell was placed in front of a fixed reactor DRIFTS only monitored the adsorbed and gaseous species in the front end of the catalyst bed. The absence of acetone s carbonyl IR band in Figure 3 and its presence in the reactor effluent suggest the following possibilities (i) acetone formation from partial oxidation is slower than epoxidation to form PO and/or (ii) acetone is produced from a secondary reaction of PO. 

Persson et al. (1991) used diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy to study the interactions between galena, pyrite sphalerite and ethyl xanthate. They provided the evidence that the DRIFT spectrum of oxidized galena treated with an aqueous solution of potassium ethyl xanthate is practically identical with that of solid lead (II) ethyl xanthate, which can be formed as the only detectable siuface species on oxidized galena. Dialkyl dixanthogen is formed as the only siuface species in the reaction between oxidized pyrite and aqueous solution of potassium alkyl xanthate.

Secondly, compared to methanol oxidation, the rates of reaction decrease significantly upon oxidation of HMF for the Pt and Pd catalysts. In the case of Pt this decrease is drastic under the mild conditions applied here, indicating a strong interaction of HMF with the Pt surface. In the case of Pd the decrease is less pronounced and for Pd/Al-N even an increase in rate of reaction is found (entries 3 and 15). Probably the interaction of HMF with Pd is less strong, especially in the case of highly dispersed Pd. In order to study the interaction of HMF with noble metals, DRIFT (diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform) measurements are in progress. 

The heterogenization of MAO-activated Nd(z 3-C3H5)3 dioxane on MAO-functionalized Si(>2 was reported by T. Riihmer et al. [307]. In situ DRIFT (= diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform) spectroscopy and TPRS (= temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy) were employed...

This section summarizes the chemistry of the SC isobutane regeneration process. To understand the nature of the hydrocarbons that remain adsorbed on the surface of the USY zeolite catalyst both before and after SC isobutane regeneration, a series of ex-situ temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO), diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) analyses was performed on samples submitted to different TOS 10 under isobutane/butene reaction conditions. 

Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy has been proven to be an excellent means of characterizing coals and related materials. This report is devoted to the evaluation of the technique as a method for situ monitoring of the chemical structural changes wrought in reactions of coal with fluid phases. This technique does not require a supporting medium (matrix) which can contain chemical artifacts which inherently serve as a barrier for access to the solid coal. The rapid response of the Fourier transform infrared technique is further beneficial for kinetic studies related to combustion, liquefaction, gasification, pyrolyses, etc. Experimental equipment and techniques are described for studies over wide ranges of pressure (10 5 Pa to ca 1.5 x 10 kPa) and temperature (298 K to 800 K). 

Nevertheless, there is a lack of understanding of the basic physical-chemical mechanisms, so research efforts are needed to improve the comprehension of the sensing phenomena using characterization techniques - such as diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectra - that permit the checking of chemical reactions during sensor operation, not only over the sensing material. This kind of measurement will help understand the underlying chemical processes and their relation with other electrical and physical parameters, and will help in the development of theoretical detection models. 

In recent studies about new formulations of the high-temperature catalysts, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy was used to elucidate the reaction mechanism. The results showed that the catalyst surface can provide oxygen to CO even in the absence of water. When the surface comes in contact with water, the surface of the catalyst recovers oxygen. The presence of intermediate species on the catalyst surface was not detected. This suggested that the WGSR over Fe based catalysts proceeds by redox mechanism. 

The study of the dynamics of N isotope transfer under adsorption-desorption equilibrium (NO -1- O2 + He) revealed two types of NOx complexes, and their concentrations and formation rates (depending on NO and O2 concentrations) were estimated. According to in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) data, these complexes are assigned to nitrite-nitrate (1520 cm" ) and N02 species (2130 cm" ). Note that nitrite-nitrates and N02 differ clearly in the rates of their formation. Under the reaction conditions, the concentrations of both active species drop considerably. Therefore, two parallel reaction pathways were proposed that involve both active complexes. The rates of NOx complexes interaction with methane were also calculated, and the reaction with participation of N02 species was shown to proceed about 2.5 times faster than that of nitrite-nitrate. The N02 species was determined to form at the interface between CoO clusters and acid OH groups in zeolite (or at the paired Co -OH sites). This finding agrees well with in situ DRIFTS data that indicates that the N02 formation correlates with a drop in the acid OH group band intensity.
