Dehydrogenation of isobutane to isobutylene is highly endothermic and the reactions are conducted at high temperatures (535—650°C) so the fuel consumption is sizeable. Eor the catalytic processes, the product separation section requires a compressor to facHitate the separation of hydrogen, methane, and other light hydrocarbons from-the paraffinic raw material and the olefinic product. An exceHent overview of butylenes is avaHable (81). 

Heat is produced by chemical reaction in a reaction zone. The heat is transported, mainly by conduction and molecular diffusion, ahead of the reaction zone into a preheating zone in which the mixture is heated, that is, preconditioned for reaction. Since molecular diffusion is a relatively slow process, laminar flame propagation is slow. Table 3.1 gives an overview of laminar burning velocities of some of the most common hydrocarbons and hydrogen. 

This survey presents an overview of the chemistry of metal-hydrogen systems which form hydride phases by the reversible reaction with hydrogen. The discussion then focuses on the AB5 class and, to a lesser extent, the AB2 class of metal hydrides, both of which are of interest for battery applications.

Catalytic hydrogenation is typically carried out in slurry reactors, where finely dispersed catalyst particles (<100 (tm) are immersed in a dispersion of gas and liquid. It has, however, been demonstrated that continuous operation is possible, either by using trickle bed [24] or monoHth technologies [37]. Elevated pressures and temperatures are needed to have a high enough reaction rate. On the other hand, too high a temperature impairs the selectivity of the desired product, as has been demonstrated by Kuusisto et al. [23]. An overview of some feasible processes and catalysts is shown in Table 8.1. 

In the USA, the Clean Air Act of 1970 established air-quality standards for six major pollutants particulate matter, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and photochemical oxidants. It also set standards for automobile emissions - the major source of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. An overview of the major standards is given in Tab. 10.2. The levels of, for example, the European Union (1996) are easily achieved with the present catalysts. The more challenging standards, up to those for the ultralow emission vehicle, are within reach, but zero-emission will probably only be attainable for a hydrogen-powered vehicle.

The hydrogen content Ch greatly influences structure and consequently electronic and optoelectronic properties. An accurate measurement of Ch can be made with several ion-beam-based methods see e.g. Arnold Bik et al. [54]. A much easier accessible method is Fourier-transform infrared transmittance (FTIR) spectroscopy. The absorption of IR radiation is different for different silicon-hydrogen bonding configurations. The observed absorption peaks have been indentified [55-57] (for an overview, see Luft and Tsuo [6]). The hydrogen content can be determined from the absorption peak at 630 cm , which includes... 

A variety of alternate methods for the reductive coupling of aldehydes and alkynes have been developed. A number of important hydrometallative strategies have been developed, although most of these methods require the stoichiometric formation of a vinyl metal species or metallacycle. A very attractive hydrogenative coupling method has recently been developed, and its scope is largely complementary to the nickel-catalyzed methods. A very brief overview of these methods is provided below. 

The general experimental procedure employed in the study here has been described previously (7), thus only a brief overview is presented here. For all experiments, 45 mL deionized water and catalyst (50 mg Pd-black for 3-buten-2-ol and 25 mg for l,4-pentadien-3-ol) were added to the reaction cell. For ultrasound-assisted, as well as stirred (blank) experiments, the catalyst was reduced with hydrogen (6.8 atm) in water for 5 minutes at an average power of 360 W (electrical 90% amplitude). The reagents (320 mg 3-buten-2-ol or 360 mg l,4-pentadien-3-ol) were added to the reduced catalyst solution to achieve... 

The examples in the previous section give a comprehensive overview of application areas where molecular rotors have become important fluorescent reporters. Current work on the further development of molecular rotors can broadly be divided into three areas photophysical description, structural modification, and application development. Although a number of theories exist that describe the interaction between a TICT fluorophore and its environment, the detailed mechanism of interaction that includes effects such as polarity, hydrogen bonding, or size and geometry of a hydrophobic pocket are not fully understood. Molecular simulations have recently added considerable knowledge, particularly with...

This overview is organized into several major sections. The first is a description of the cluster source, reactor, and the general mechanisms used to describe the reaction kinetics that will be studied. The next two sections describe the relatively simple reactions of hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, and oxygen reactions with a variety of metal clusters, followed by the more complicated dehydrogenation reactions of hydrocarbons with platinum clusters. The last section develops a model to rationalize the observed chemical behavior and describes several predictions that can be made from the model.
