Together with the fast oxidation (at low temperatures) of NO to N02, the plasma causes the partial HC oxidation (using propylene, the formation of CO, C02, acetaldehyde and formaldehyde was observed). Both the effects cause a large promotion in activity of the downstream catalyst [86]. For example, a "/-alumina catalyst which is essentially inactive in the SCR of NO with propene at temperatures 200°C allows the conversion of NO of about 80% (in the presence of NTP). Formation of aldehydes follows the trend of NO concentration suggesting their role in the reaction mechanism. Metal oxides such as alumina, zirconia or metal-containing zeolites (Ba/Y, for example) have been used [84-87], but a systematic screening of the catalysts to be used together with NTP was not carried out. Therefore, considerable improvements may still be expected.

The Swiss Agency of Environment and Landscape decided to re-evaluate mechanical metal separation techniques to reduce the landfill volume and to improve the BA quality for deposition by exploiting metal resources. A sampling campaign in all 28 incineration plants was initiated to verify BA quality and to establish a solid data base. A common sampling procedure, sample treatment, and analytical method were prescribed in order to obtain consistent information of chemical and structural composition and the leaching behaviour of current BA. This paper is focused on the chemical and mineralogi-cal results from the study. 

Further mechanical metal separation requires crushing of the BA, whereby grain size is... 

Cracking reactions can take place on either the acid site or the platinum site. Acid cracking is characterized by the formation of C3 and C4 paraffins due to the carbonium ion mechanism. Metal cracking (hydrogenolysis), as shown by Sinfelt (19), is random and forms more C, and C2 gases relative to acid cracking. 

Ab initio and semiempirical methods have been applied to the interpretation of many aspects of dithiolene chemistry electronic spectra, ESR, Mossbauer, XPS, charge distributions, redox properties, reaction mechanisms, metal binding in biological systems and ligand-exchange behavior. We shall focus our attention on the theoretical deductions of some representative research groups. For computational details, the reader is referred to the original papers and references therein.

The cleavage of the C—H bond by direct participation of a transition metal ion proceeds via an oxidative addition mechanism or an electrophilic substitution mechanism. Metals in low oxidation states undergo oxidative addition while high oxidation state metals take part in electrophilic substitutions. Another function of the metal complex in these reactions consists of abstracting an electron or a hydrogen atom from the hydrocarbon, RH. The RH radical ions or R radicals which are formed then interact with other species, such as molecular oxygen which is present in the solution or in one of the ligands of the metal complex (21). 

Description of the process. The simplified process flow diagram is shown in Figure 16.12. The shredder waste (ASR, plastic and electronic waste as well as MSW) is fed in an IRFB, which operates in a reducing atmosphere and at temperatures as low as 500-600°C, allowing easy control of the process. The IRFB reactor separates the combustible portion and the dust from the inert and metallic particles of the fed waste the obtained mixture of metallic and inert particles is sent to a mechanical metal separation while fuel gas and carbonaceous particles are burnt in a cyclonic combustion chamber for energy production and fine ash vitrification. Metals such as aluminium, copper and iron can be recycled as valuable products from the bottom off-stream of the IRFB as they are neither oxidized nor sintered with...

Winter, Organometallics, 1984, 3, 1177 for further studies along these lines, and J. R. Strickler, P. A. Wexler and D. E. Wigley, Organometallics, 1988, 7, 2067 for studies of relevant model systems associated with alkyne trimerizations catalyzed by early transition metals. Note that although cyclobutadiene-like structures are not involved in most alkyne trimerization mechanisms, metal-complexed cyclobutadienes are fairly common side products in alkyne trimerization reactions. As their yields are usually low, their formation does not present practical problems in arene synthesis.

According to the above mechanism, metallic palladium serves as a catalyst for the interconversion between hydrogen atoms and acidic protons. 

Some fairly hindered catalysts, such as the rosindones [97] and metal porphyrins [98] are as efficient as AQ at low concentrations in delignifying wood and/or fragmenting models. This observation is contrary to what one would expect with an adduct mechanism metal ion complexes have been proposed to fragment lignin models by SET pathways. Moreover, carbohydrates have been shown to facilitate p-ether cleavage in lignin models [99] and can also transfer electrons to QMs [87]. 

Cuprous ions (Cu+) also react with hydrogen peroxide to make hydroxyl radicals (Halliwell and Gutteridge, 1985). The presence of iron salts and cuprous ions in the formulation can lead to an accelerated photochemical degradation of the drug by these reaction mechanisms. Metal ions can also participate in redox reactions with the drug or excipients in the preparation, depending on the redox properties of the species involved. Such reactions may further influence photochemical stability of the product, e.g., by the formation of photosensitizers. 

However, parallel reactions by two mechanisms (metal-mediated and chain free-radical) cannot be excluded [43]. Very efficient catalysts are ruthenium complexes with Si-containing ligands [44, 45] (Fig. 32).
