Chromium zeolites are recognised to possess, at least at the laboratory scale, notable catalytic properties like in ethylene polymerization, oxidation of hydrocarbons, cracking of cumene, disproportionation of n-heptane, and thermolysis of H20 [ 1 ]. Several factors may have an effect on the catalytic activity of the chromium catalysts, such as the oxidation state, the structure (amorphous or crystalline, mono/di-chromate or polychromates, oxides, etc.) and the interaction of the chromium species with the support which depends essentially on the catalysts preparation method. They are ruled principally by several parameters such as the metal loading, the support characteristics, and the nature of the post-treatment (calcination, reduction, etc.). The nature of metal precursor is a parameter which can affect the predominance of chromium species in zeolite. In the case of solid-state exchange, the exchange process initially takes place at the solid- solid interface between the precursor salt and zeolite grains, and the success of the exchange depends on the type of interactions developed [2]. The aim of this work is to study the effect of the chromium precursor on the physicochemical properties of chromium loaded ZSM-5 catalysts and their catalytic performance in ethylene ammoxidation to acetonitrile. 

How the experimental panorama is influenced by parameters still to be defined was demonstrated by Shibata et al. [86]. Here, preliminary results obtained in aqueous media using a specific brand of high-purity commercial copper cathode were positive with regards to hydrocarbons C3+, provided that no electropolishing was performed before the electrochemical process. If electropolishing preceded the C02 reduction, the cathodes behaved similarly to any other copper cathode, leading essentially (besides hydrogen) only to methane end ethylene. A tentative explanation of this behavior was proposed which referred to the polycrystalline matrix of this brand of copper, which made it particularly adaptable to be covered by oxide layers active in the formation of C3+. However, further experimental evidence on the surface structure, composition and modifications with electrolysis time will be required to substantiate this hypothesis. 

Dioxane, ethylene glycol, water-soluble esters, and short-chain alcohols at high bulk phase concentrations may increase the CMC because they decrease the cohesive energy density, or solubility parameter, of the water, thus increasing the solubility of the monomeric form of the surfactant and hence the CMC (Schick, 1965). An alternative explanation for the action of these compounds in the case of ionic surfactants is based on the reduction of the dielectric constant of the aqueous phase that they produce (Herzfeld, 1950). This would cause increased mutual repulsion of the ionic heads in the micelle, thus opposing micellization and increasing the CMC. 

Thermogravimetric (TGA) experiments have long established that some sites can be more easily reduced than others. The choice of support and activation parameters was found to influence the temperature of reduction with H2 [44,46,47]. CO can also be used to reduce the catalyst, and it can even be used to discriminate between sites [377], CO reduction yields highly coordinatively unsaturated Cr(II) [52,215,217-219,250-252,322-325,339,347]. If the catalyst is cooled in CO, Cr(II) strongly adsorbs CO, which irreversibly poisons the catalyst. In contrast, Cr(VI) does not adsorb CO. Thus by partial reduction of a catalyst in CO, followed by cooling it in CO, some Cr(II) sites are formed, which chemisorb CO and are subsequently inactive for polymerization. Other sites, more resistant to reduction, remain Cr(VI) and are therefore unaffected by the CO, becoming active for polymerization upon later exposure to ethylene. Thus, one can selectively poison only those sites that are most easily reduced as indicated in Scheme 15. 

Nevertheless, a far more important parameter in this case is the promotion index Pj (Section 4.2) which takes values up to 250 and down to -30 for the case of Na promotion and poisoning, respectively, of CO oxidation on Pt (Table 2 and Figure 18). As noted in Section 4 (Figures 16 and 17) and also shown on Table 2, p values up to infinity and down to zero have been recently obtained for the cases of NO reduction by C2H4 on Pt and benzene hydrogenation on Pt. Also the use of P"-Al203 as a Na donor in the case of ethylene epoxidation, in conjunction with the use of chlorinated hydrocarbon moderators, leads to ethylene oxide selectivity up to 88 percent (Figure 30). 

It has been shown that the extreme enhancement of strain at break for blends polycarbonate/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PC/PET) is due to the corresponding structural changes of the indicated blends, which are characterized by their structure fractal dimension variation. The blends deformability rise can be achieved by enhancement of either Flory-Hug-gins interaction parameter, or shear strength of their autohesional contact. The transparence threshold of macromolecular coils achievement results in sharp reduction of strain at break, that is, its decrease practically up to zero.
