The oxidation of iodide at a rotaling platinum disk electrode in methanol has been studied. At low concentrations only one oxidation wave is seen, but at higher concentrations two steps are discerned. This is in accordance with the theory, assuming that the equilibrium between iodide, ttiiodide and iodine is reached fast and the oxidation of iodide to iodine occurs reversibly. only in approxima...

The oxidation of 2-(3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-yl)-ethanol (1) with a variety of thallium(III) salts was investigated. An indan, formed by a ring contraction reaction, was obtained in good to moderate yields under a variety of reaction conditions: i) thallium triacetate (TTA) in aqueous AcOH; ii) thallium tris-trifluoroacetate (TTFA) in aqueous TFA; iii) TTFA in CH(2)Cl(2); iv) thallium tripropion...

Methanol experimental data are obtained under pyrolysis, fuel lean (φ = 0.75) and stoichiometric mixtures with methane in a flow reactor. Methanol pyrolysis experiments are performed under isothermal conditions of 1073K over a pressure range from 1 to 10 atm. Oxidation environments are performed over a temperature range from 873 1073K and a pressure range from 1 5 atm. Oxidation experiments con...

A novel strategy for large-scale synthesis of shape- and size-controlled mesoporous Pt nanospheres (MPNs) through a slow reduction reaction in the presence of surfactant is reported here for the first time. The slow reduction reaction exclusively results in well-defined mesoporous architectures distinctly different from the dendritic constructions reported previously. More importantly, abundant...

Ru(OH) x /Al2O3 is among the more versatile catalysts for aerobic alcohol oxidation and dehydrogenation of nitrogen heterocycles. Here, we describe the translation of batch reactions to a continuous-flow method that enables high steady-state conversion and single-pass yields in the oxidation of benzylic alcohols and dehydrogenation of indoline. A dilute source of O2 (8% in N2) was used to ensur...

Complete mineralization of hazardous organic compounds to innocuous products can be achieved using supercritical water oxidation (SCWO). At typical SCWO process conditions (500 – 650 °C), free radical chemistry has been shown to be the dominant reaction path. Detailed Chemical Kinetic Mechanisms (DCKM), consisting of elementary free-radical reactions, have been used to model the oxidation of a ...

hybrid nanocomposites of binary pt-ru/polyaniline were prepared by oxidative polymerization of aniline andformation pt and ru nanoparticles. the polymerization of aniline was carried out in the presence of potassiumhexa cyano platinate (iv) and ruthenium (iii) nitrosyl nitrate as oxidizing agents. during the reaction anilinemonomers undergo oxidation and form polyaniline (pani) whereas the redu...

The integration of different components into a hybrid nanosystem for the utilization of the synergistic effects is an effective way to design the electrocatalysts. Herein, we demonstrate a hybrid strategy to enhance the electrocatalytic property of hollow structured Pt nanoparticles for methanol oxidation reaction. This strategy begins with the preparation of bimetallic Ag-Pt nanoparticles with...
