Monoxide Oxidation

Technogenic phases, such as various Fe-alloys ((Cr,Ni)-ferroalloy, (Cu,Ni)-alloy, and (Fe, Si)-alloy), Fe-oxides ((Cr,V,Fe)-oxide, (Mo,W,V,Cr,Fe)-oxide, (Monoxide, (W,Cr,Fe)-oxide), and spherical particles ((Cr,Ni)-oxide or chrome-nickel-spinel (Fig. 3), (Cr.Fe)-oxide or chrome-spinel), were recognized in the area of the Ravne ironworks. 

Zahn and co-workers [2], using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, separated up to 62 isolated protein spots from human hair. From the fluoro-gram of bleached hair, these scientists identified cystine oxides (monoxide and dioxide). Although the exact quantities of these intermediate oxidation products versus cysteic acid were not reported, the quantities were indicated to be small relative to the cysteic acid content [2]. 

Most of the rare earth oxides (monoxides, sequioxides, and higher oxides, with the exception of Ce02) dissolve readily in dilute mineral acids. All of the rare earth metals also dissolve in dilute acids, in particular HCl(aq). Therefore, the enthalpies of formation of all rare earth oxides with the exception of Ce02 can be determined by dissolving the metals and their oxides in acids of the same composition. The simplest reaction cycle is thus ...

The material to be analyzed is pyrolyzed in an inert gas at 1100°C in the presence of carbon the carbon monoxide formed, if any, is either analyzed directly by chromatography or analyzed as carbon dioxide after oxidation by CuO. The CO2 is detected by infra-red spectrometry or by gas phase chromatography. 

However, such a level can still be considered too high for vehicles having 3-way catalytic converters. In fact, results observed in the United States (Benson et al., 1991) and given in Figure 5.20 show that exhaust pollutant emissions, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides, increase from 10 to 15% when the sulfur level passes from 50 ppm to about 450 ppm. This is explained by an inhibiting action of sulfur on the catalyst though... 

These are carbon monoxide, CO, unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and the nitrogen oxides, NO. In the U.S.A., a program called Auto/Oil (Burns et al., 1992), conducted by automotive manufacturers and petroleum companies, examined the effect of overall parameters of fuel composition on evaporative emissions and in the exhaust gases. The variables examined were the aromatics content between 20 and 45%, the olefins content between 5 and 20%, the MTBE content between 0 and 15% and finally the distillation end point between 138 and 182°C (more exactly, the 95% distilled point). 

There has been a general updating of the material in all the chapters the treatment of films at the liquid-air and liquid-solid interfaces has been expanded, particularly in the area of contemporary techniques and that of macromolecular films. The scanning microscopies (tunneling and atomic force) now contribute more prominently. The topic of heterogeneous catalysis has been expanded to include the well-studied case of oxidation of carbon monoxide on metals, and there is now more emphasis on the flexible surface, that is, the restructuring of surfaces when adsorption occurs. New calculational methods are discussed.

Let us now consider the reduction of a metal oxide by carbon which is itself oxidised to carbon monoxide. The reaction will become energetically feasible when the free energy change for the combined process is negative (see also Figure i.i). Free energies. 

Consider the reduction of zinc oxide, by carbon monoxide. The equations are ... 

Hence for the reduction of zinc oxide by carbon monoxide we have. 

All Group IV elements form both a monoxide, MO, and a dioxide, MO2. The stability of the monoxide increases with atomic weight of the Group IV elements from silicon to lead, and lead(II) oxide, PbO, is the most stable oxide of lead. The monoxide becomes more basic as the atomic mass of the Group IV elements increases, but no oxide in this Group is truly basic and even lead(II) oxide is amphoteric. Carbon monoxide has unusual properties and emphasises the different properties of the group head element and its compounds. 

Carbon forms a number of oxides in addition to carbon monoxide and dioxide but they are beyond the scope of this book.

Variable oxidation state is also exhibited in the oxides themselves among metals in this region of electronegativity. Thus lead, for example, forms the monoxide PbO (+2) and the dioxide PbO 2 ( + 4) (the compound Pbj04 is not a simple oxide but is sometimes called a compound oxide). Similarly, manganese gives the oxides MnO and Mn02-... 

The other more electronegative elements are non-metals and form oxides which are entirely covalent and usually acidic. For example, sulphur yields the oxides SO2 and SO3, dissolving in bases to form the ions SO3 and SO4" respectively. A few non-metallic oxides are often described as neutral (for example carbon monoxide and dinitrogen oxide) because no directly related acid anion is known to exist.
