Tungsten nickel containing

The first suitable activated-alumina catalyst contained 10% M0O3 activated by addition of 3% nickel oxide. This catalyst was superseded by a more active tungsten catalyst containing 70% activated alumina, 27% tungsten sulfide, and 3% nickel sulfide. This catalyst is used in commercial plants for the prehydrogenation of middle oils and also for the direct hydrogenation of shale oil and lignite tar (TTH process). 

Probably the best method available for the preparation of pure tungsten is the reduction in a porcelain tube of purified tungsten trioxide contained in nickel boats by means of pure dry electrolytic hvdrogen the desiccation being effected bv phosphoric anhydride) at... 

Tables 21 and 22 (and Figure 8) review Pt chemical shifts and metal-metal coupling constants of several chain clusters containing platinum, tungsten, nickel and molybdenum [119-121]. Likewise, Table 23 presents similar data for cyclic clusters containing eight metal atoms [120,122]. All these results are used to provide evidence of the structures, the symmetry and the isomerism of the clusters in solution.

This is a specialised technique which has been applied in field emission and field ion microscopy (see Section 2.1.5c). It is achieved by giving the tip a positive potential. Tungsten can then be removed at liquid helium temperatures with an applied field of 5.7 x 10 V.cm Perfectly regular surface structures are exposed containing many different lattice planes. Clean surfaces have been produced on tungsten, nickel, iron, platinum, copper, silicon and germanium. It is potentially applicable to a wide range of materials, but the area of clean surface exposed is only about 10 ° cm . 

For information about hazardous substances in the production of tungsten alloys, such as thoriated tungsten, cobalt, or nickel-containing cemented carbides, see Chapter 14. 

Elinvar (Trademark) A steel alloy of chromium, iron, and nickel containing some tungsten and manganese. It is used for making hairsprings for clocks and watches because its elasticity does not vary with temperature. 

In dealing with such a vast domain some decisions concerning the subjects addressed in this short chapter had to be made. Consequently, only selected enzymes containing the transition metals copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum/ tungsten, nickel and the related zinc, will be discussed also, we will consider only X-ray structures of active sites published relatively recently and for which some discussion on the catalytic mechanism is included. Some reference is also made to Co in the context of the correnoid iron sulfur protein that interacts with acetyl Coenzyme A synthase in the synthesis or cleavage of acetyl CoA. With a few exceptions, the protein structure beyond the metal coordination sphere will not be described unless it impinges in the catalytic mechanism. 

It is conunon practice to use two reactors. The first reactor contains a conventional bismuth phosphomolybdate catalyst and is used to convert propylene to acrolein. The second reactor contains a selective vanadium molybdate catalyst promoted with tungsten, nickel, manganese or copper, " to convert acrolein to acrylic acid. Fixed bed tubular reactors ate used in both stages. Typical operating conditions ate shown in Table 4.15. 

It is alloyed with iron, nickel and other metals to make Alnico, an alloy of unusual magnetic strength with many important uses. Stellite alloys, containing cobalt, chromium, and tungsten, are used for high-speed, heavy-duty, high temperature cutting tools, and for dies. 

Early catalysts for acrolein synthesis were based on cuprous oxide and other heavy metal oxides deposited on inert siHca or alumina supports (39). Later, catalysts more selective for the oxidation of propylene to acrolein and acrolein to acryHc acid were prepared from bismuth, cobalt, kon, nickel, tin salts, and molybdic, molybdic phosphoric, and molybdic siHcic acids. Preferred second-stage catalysts generally are complex oxides containing molybdenum and vanadium. Other components, such as tungsten, copper, tellurium, and arsenic oxides, have been incorporated to increase low temperature activity and productivity (39,45,46). 

Density is a particularly important characteristic of alloys used in rotating machinery, because centrifugal stresses increase with density. Densities of the various metals in Table 1 range from 6.1 to 19.3 g/cm. Those of iron, nickel, and cobalt-base superaHoys fall in the range 7-8.5 g/cm. Those alloys which contain the heavier elements, ie, molybdenum, tantalum, or tungsten, have correspondingly high densities. 

The catalyst for the second stage is also a bifimctional catalyst containing hydrogenating and acidic components. Metals such as nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, or palladium are used in various combinations and dispersed on sofid acidic supports such as synthetic amorphous or crystalline sihca—alumina, eg, zeofites. These supports contain strongly acidic sites and sometimes are enhanced by the incorporation of a small amount of fluorine.
