Noble metals continued reactions

Principles Immersion plating resulting from a displacement reaction involving the metal to be coated can continue only as long as the less noble substrate remains accessible to the plating solution, and therefore as plating proceeds, the quantity of A/, deposited, and of A/j dissolved, falls. Dissolution of A/j can be avoided by coupling it with a less noble metal A/, so that only A/j dissolves, i.e, by internal electrolysis. [Pg.433]

Thermodynamically, virtually all metals in the elemental form are unstable with respect to redox reactions in environments where they are exposed to air and water, i.e., virtually all environments where they are used. Those metals least likely to oxidize (corrode) were long ago given the distinguished title "noble metals." Efforts to prevent metals from corroding, and the cost of repairing and replacing metal structures that have done so, runs into the billions of dollars annually. Thus, one characteristic feature of the society s use of metals is that the metals are continuously, albeit slowly, "degrading" to a less useful form from the moment they are put into use. [Pg.383]

Electroless deposition should not be confused with metal displacement reactions, which are often known as cementation or immersion plating processes. In the latter, the less noble metal dissolves and eventually becomes coated with a more noble metal, and the deposition process ceases. Coating thicknesses are usually < 1 pm, and tend to be less continuous than coatings obtained by other methods. A well-known example of an immersion plating process that has technological applications is the deposition of Sn on Cu [17] here a strong complexant for Cu(I), such as thiourea, forces the Cu(I)/Cu couple cathodic with respect to the Sn(II)/Sn couple, thereby increasing the thermodynamic stability in solution of thiourea-complexed Cu(I) relative to Sn(II). [Pg.227]

The chemical composihons of the zeolites such as Si/Al ratio and the type of cation can significantly affect the performance of the zeolite/polymer mixed-matrix membranes. MiUer and coworkers discovered that low silica-to-alumina molar ratio non-zeolitic smaU-pore molecular sieves could be properly dispersed within a continuous polymer phase to form a mixed-matrix membrane without defects. The resulting mixed-matrix membranes exhibited more than 10% increase in selectivity relative to the corresponding pure polymer membranes for CO2/CH4, O2/N2 and CO2/N2 separations [48]. Recently, Li and coworkers proposed a new ion exchange treatment approach to change the physical and chemical adsorption properties of the penetrants in the zeolites that are used as the dispersed phase in the mixed-matrix membranes [56]. It was demonstrated that mixed-matrix membranes prepared from the AgA or CuA zeolite and polyethersulfone showed increased CO2/CH4 selectivity compared to the neat polyethersulfone membrane. They proposed that the selectivity enhancement is due to the reversible reaction between CO2 and the noble metal ions in zeolite A and the formation of a 7i-bonded complex. [Pg.338]

Pure decarbonylation typically employs noble metal catalysts. Carbon supported palladium, in particular, is highly elfective for furan and CO formation.Typically, alkali carbonates are added as promoters for the palladium catalyst.The decarbonylation reaction can be carried out at reflux conditions in pure furfural (165 °C), which achieves continuous removal of CO and furan from the reactor. However, a continuous flow system at 159-162 °C gave the highest activity of 36 kg furan per gram of palladium with potassium carbonate added as promoter. In oxidative decarbonylation, gaseous furfural and steam is passed over a catalyst at high temperatures (300 00 °C). Typical catalysts are zinc-iron chromite or zinc-manganese chromite catalyst and furfural can be obtained in yields of... [Pg.21]

The partial oxidation of alcohols, to afford carbonyl or carboxylic compounds, is another synthetic route of high industrial interest For this, scC02 was investigated as a reaction medium for the aerobic oxidation of aliphatic, unsaturated, aromatic and benzylic acids with different catalytic systems, mainly based on the use of noble metals, both in batch [58-64] and in continuous fixed-bed reactors [65-70]. In this context, very promising results have been obtained when studying the catalytic activity of supported palladium and gold nanoparticles in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde these allowed conversions and selectivities in excess of 90% to be achieved [71-73]. [Pg.18]

Nuclear reactions producing exotic nuclei at the limits of stability are usually very non-specific. For the fast and efficient removal of typically several tens of interfering elements with several hundreds of isotopes from the nuclides selected for study mainly mass separation [Han 79, Rav 79] and rapid chemical procedures [Her 82] are applied. The use of conventional mass separators is limited to elements for which suitable ion sources are available. There exists a number of elements, such as niobium, the noble metals etc., which create problems in mass separation due to restrictions in the diffusion-, evaporation- or ionization process. Such limitations do not exist for chemical methods. Although rapid off-line chemical methods are still valuable for some applications, continuously operated chemical procedures have been advanced recently since they deliver a steady source of activity needed for measurements with low counting efficiencies and for studies of rare decay modes. The present paper presents several examples for such techniques and reports briefly actual applications of these methods for the study of exotic nuclei. [Pg.478]

With the advent of synthetic methods to produce more advanced model systems (cluster- or nanoparticle-based systems either in the gas phase or on planar surfaces), we come to the modern age of surface chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis. Castleman and coworkers demonstrate the large influence that charge, size, and composition of metal oxide clusters generated in the gas phase can have on the mechanism of a catalytic reaction. Rupprechter (Chap. 15) reports on the stmctural and catalytic properties of planar noble metal nanocrystals on thin oxide support films in vacuum and under high-pressure conditions. The theme of model systems of nanoparticles supported on planar metal oxide substrates is continued with a chapter on the formation of planar catalyst based on size-selected cluster deposition methods. In a second contribution from Rupprecther (Chap. 17), the complexities of surface chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis on metal oxide films and nanostructures, where the extension of the bulk structure to the surface often does not occur and the surface chemistry is often dominated by surface defects, are discussed. [Pg.534]

As outlined in previous volumes, the chemistry of ylides coordinated to noble metals, particularly palladium, platinum and gold continues to attract most attention. Refluxing (dppm)palladium(II) dichloride [dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane] with alkynes in mixtures of 1,2-dichloro-ethane/l,4-dioxane provides a novel route to palladium-bound alkenyl phosphorus ylide complexes (53) (Scheme 1)P The reaction represents the... [Pg.166]

This approach, as exemplified by the work of Wehman et al., appears ripe for commercialization. Drawbacks of the reaction are the need for three equivalents of carbon monoxide and relatively large amounts of noble metal catalysts. The use of relatively high levels of catalyst is not a problem if the catalyst can be used over a long time period and has good activity, as in a column in a continuous process. A variant (2.22) using a 1 1 molar ratio of nitroben zene to aniline eliminates the need for the noble metal catalyst.57 The catalyst is a mixture of sulfur, sodium methoxide, and ammonium metavanadate. [Pg.35]

Oxygen is an extremely reactive gas which vigorously oxidizes many elements directly, either at room temperature or above. Despite the high bond dissociation energy of O2 (493.4 kJmol ) these reactions are frequently highly exothermic and, once initiated, can continue spontaneously (combustion) or even explosively. Familiar examples are its reactions with carbon (charcoal) and hydrogen. Some elements do not combine with oxygen directly, e.g. certain refractory or noble metals such as... [Pg.612]

The important issue of possible deactivation of noble metal catalysts by CO formed from the reverse water gas shift reaction between CO2 and H2 was investigated using high-pressure transmission FTDR. spectroscopy. It was shown that CO could be formed on Pd/Al203 when exposed to CO2 (95%) and H2 (5%) at the reaction condition (70 °C, 138 bar). This adsorbed CO evolved with time and was insignificant at short residence times, implying that short-residence time continuous reactors are preferred over batch reactors (with residence times > 20 min) to minimize the effects of possible catalyst deactivation by CO. [Pg.479]

Gold as a VOC Destruction Catalyst. - Continued research into the use of noble metal catalysts for complete oxidation reactions is required to determine the composition of catalysts most active for the process and the mechanism by which these operate. In spite of considerable research into alternative supports, varied noble metal loadings, etc., the susceptibility to deactivation of these catalysts remains a problem, particularly in the oxidation of chlorinated compounds. For this reason, alternative classes of catalysts active for VOC combustion are required. [Pg.127]

Iron has played an extremely important role in catalysis in the past, present and increasingly will in the future. The fundamental work carried out over a centuiy ago continues to he relevant and informative to modern catalysis. The discovery and development of heterogeneous iron-hased catalysts used in large-scale ammonia, methanol and hydrocarbon synthesis, amongst others, has undoubtedly sculpted modern science and society. Most crucial to the use of iron in modem catalysis is perhaps the excellent sustainability traits associated with iron. The high natural abundance, low cost and low toxicity of iron oxides and iron salts provides sustainable avenues for molecule diversification. In particular, the ability of simple iron oxides and iron salts to facilitate crosscoupling and olefin hydrofunctionalisation reactions, where noble metals are commonly required, demonstrates a significant advance towards more sustainable synthesis. [Pg.367]

The most cited reference electrode is the platinum-hydrogen electrode, and electrode DC potentials are often given relative to such an electrode. It is an important electrode for absolute calibration, even if it is impractical in many applications. The platinum electrode metal is submerged in a protonic electrolyte solution, and the surface is saturated with continuously supplied hydrogen gas. The reaction at the platinum surface is a hydrogen redox reaction H2 2H (aq) + 2e, of course with no direct chemical participation of the noble metal. Remember that the standard electrode potential is under the condition pH = 0 and hydrogen ion activity 1 mol/L at the reference electrode. Thus the values found in tables must be recalculated for other concentrations. Because of the reaction it is a hydrogen electrode, but it is also a platinum electrode because platinum is the electron source or sink, and perhaps a catalyst for the reaction. [Pg.203]
