The radiation-initiated thermal cracking (RTC) of n-octane vapor was studied at temperatures from 184 to 551°C and at atmospheric pressure. Vapor-phase ionic chain reactions, which were completely suppressed by the addition of ammonia, were found to proceed simultaneously with radical chain reactions. The main ionic chain products were C3∼C5 paraffins and olefins containing quantities of branched products and β-olefins which were not formed by the thermal cracking of n-octane. For example, the G-values of isobutane and isopentane reached 82 and 78, respectively, at 524°C. The proportion of the ionic chain products to the overall products was about 10mol%. Isomerization of C8H17+ ion, its thermal decomposition, and subsequent hydride ion transfer reaction from n-octane molecule to the fragment ion are proposed for the ionic chain mechanism. Carrier ions are carbonium ions of C3∼C5.Several similarities are pointed out between the ionic products from the RTC and those from catalytic reactions over acidic sites.

Steam-reforming of n-heptane on rhodium catalysts was investigated under atmospheric pressure and in the temperature range from 550 to 800°C. The degree of dispersion of supported rhodium was determined from hydrogen chemisorption data measured at 25°C by a pulse technique.Rhodium supported on silica was found to sinter considerably on reduction in hydrogen flow, and its activity also decreased. On the other hand, γ-alumina support was found to keep the dispersion of rhodium unchanged on reduction in the temperature range from 550 to 800°C.The activity per weight of a catalyst increased with the concentration of rhodium supported on γ-alumina. The activity was correlated with the amount of hydrogen uptake when more than 0.2% of rhodium was supported.The product composition from reactions at 600°C was compared with the equilibrium composition determined by the following two reactions: i) CH4+H2O=CO+3H2, and ii) CO+H2O=CO2+H2. The composition was found to deviate considerably from the equilibrium at earlier stages of the reaction, but to approach it with increasing conversion of n-heptane. It was suggested that the rate of these equilibrating reactions, especially of the reaction ii), was smaller than that of the initial decomposition of the feed hydrocarbon.

For the gelled JP-4 of an oil-in-water emulsion type which includes 96∼99% oil concentration by volume as an internal phase and has the drainage temperature higher than 70°C in confined vessel, the flame spreading aspects with a pool combustion were observed by taking movie, and the measurement of temperatures, on and above the surface of the gel from the time when the flame is coming over to the time when it has passed away, was carried out with thermocouples fixed in place.While the flame is spreading on the gelled JP-4, an advance liquid flow ahead of the flame can be found in case of the initial gel temperatures lower than the apparent flash points (26∼35°C) measured by means of open cup method. This liquid flow invades on to the surface of the virgin gel, issued from the upstream region covered already with luminous flame, and is not formed by radiative and conductive heat transfer from the flame pillar to the virgin gel surface. In view point that the temperatures of foregoing liquid flow is 10∼20°C at the initial level of gel surface and the flash point of the original JP-4 is -23°C, a large part of the low hydrocarbon fractions seem to have burned in the flame zone before streaming out on the virgin gel surface. The behavior of liquid flow was observed in detail with fine aluminum powders sowed in the vicinity of the ignition position. As the result, it is found that in the foregoing liquid flow there is a strong convection due to temperature gradient. Thus, the covering of the liquid flow on the virgin gel plays a role to reduce the drainage rate of the gel, protecting the gel surface from being exposed in air in the place close to hot flame, and the flame spreading velocity can be suppressed by one-tenth to one-twentieth, compared to that of the original JP-4.

In order to develop a new method for removing the sulfur compounds in hydrocarbon oils, the extraction behavior of tetrahydrothiophene (THS) with an aqueous copper (II) bromide solution was investigated with special reference made to the mechanism of extraction and the factors which influence the extraction ability of copper complexes.Bromo-copper (II) complexes exhibited excellent extraction efficiency for THS that was more than 50 times as great as that of cupric ion itself. CuBr+, among the bromo complexes, was mainly concerned with the extraction of THS and it formed a white solid complex having a composition of [Cu(I)Br THS]. This solid complex was redissolved in the presence of excess amounts of Br- ion and/or CuBr2; and, thus, THS was extracted into the aqueous phase as water soluble complexes; i. e., copper (I) complex ions, [Cu(II)BrnTHS](n-1)- (n=2, 3) and/or mixed valance polynuclear complex ions, [Cu(II)-Brn-1-Cu(I)THS](2-n)+ (n=1, 2), respectively. The role of Br- ion as an auxiliary ligand was also discussed.

A process for preparing granular activated carbon has been developed, utilizing petroleum residues such as asphalt. Successful pilot plant operations have been made.The process consists of three steps. They are char production, char activation, and exhaust gas treating. Granular char, hard and uniform, has been produced by reacting asphalt with fuming sulfuric acid or elemental sulfur.A co-current, two-step fluidized bed furnace with unique features developed by the authors has been used for activating char above obtained.The product has indicated some excellent properties such as large specific surface area, extensive methylene blue adsorption, characteristic pore distribution, and high mechanical strength. Some practical applications have shown promising results.

A new apparatus is proposed for measuring isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria of gas-solvent systems. It is based on the determination of vapor-liquid equilibria from boiling point measurements. The vapor composition in equilibrium with liquid solutions is calculated by using the method of Mixon et al. The experimental results are obtained for two binary systems, ammonia-water and propylene-acetone, at 760mmHg. In the ammonia-water system, the experimental data are in good agreement with those found in the literature.

Isomerization of n-butenes was investigated over binary oxides ZnO-SiO2 having different mole ratios and the nature of active sites and the mechanism of the reaction were examined.On mixing of ZnO and SiO2, there appeared acidic sites and basic sites on the surface. The type of the acid sites was of Lewis acid which was determined by IR study of adsorbed pyridine.The isomerization was not retarded by acidic molecule of CO2 but by basic molecules such as pyridine and ammonia. The products formed over the deuterated catalyst contained a small amount of D atoms. The results of co-isomerization indicate that the reaction involves intramolecular hydrogen transfer and that the slow step is C-H bond cleavage. Therefore, it is concluded that the isomerization of butenes takes place on Lewis acid sites and is initiated by the abstraction of hydride ion which is the rate determining step.

The effect of mid-range volatility of motor gasoline on warm-up performance of modern Japanese cars was investigated in an all weather chassis dynamometer room, using six late model cars and twelve fuels of different volatility. The warm-up performance of cars and fuels was evaluated in terms of the time required to completely warm-up (warm-up time), the carknock disappearing time and the numerical driveability demerit rating. The warm-up performance was considerably different with different cars tested. Car with a rotary engine performed best. The warm-up performance correlated well with the 30% and 50% evaporated temperatures of a fuel. Also, the warm-up time was best correlated with 50% evaporated temperature, and the carknock disappearing time and driveability demerit were related best to 30% evaporated temperature.

The carbonylation reaction of ethyl vinyl ether with various cobalt hydrocarbonyls, HCo(CO)4, HCo(CO)3PR3, HCo(CO)3P(OR)3, and HCo(CO)2[P(OR)3]2 was studied. Almost all of the cobalt hydrocarbonyls react with ethyl vinyl ether to form the branched chain acyl complexes, CH3CH(OC2H5)COCo(CO)4-nLn (L; CO, PR3 and P(OR)3), regardless of the character of the ligands at 0∼25°C, while HCo(CO)2[P(OEt)3]2 does not react even at 65°C. The order of the reactivities is parallel to that of the electron-accepting character of the ligand. The addition of an excess of the ligand retards the reaction. The activation parameters of the reaction of HCo(CO)3PPh3 with ethyl vinyl ether were estimated to be ΔH≠=9.88kcal/mol, ΔS≠=-41.0e.u.

Experimental studies were carried out to determine what kind of catalysts are effective for the cracking of ethanethiol using a pulse reactor.Solid acid catalysts such as silica-alumina (SA), solid phosphoric acid (SPA), alumina (Al2O3), hydrogen Y zeolite (HY) and metal Y zeolite (MeY) showed a definite activity in the cracking of ethanethiol. However, solid bases such as CaO and MgO showed no activity.From these results, it may be said that the solid acid catalysts accelerate the cracking of ethanethiol. The cracking products of ethanethiol on SA, SPA, HY and MeY were only ethylene and hydrogen sulfide. In the case of ethanethiol cracking on Al2O3, the products were ethylene, hydrogen sulfide and a substantial amount of diethylsulfide which was formed by the disproportionation of ethanethiol.Furthermore, detailed studies were made on the effective active sites of the solid acid catalysts which showed the activity in the cracking of ethanethiol. And it was concluded that the active sites of SA, SPA and HY were the Bronsted acid sites, and that the active sites of Al2O3 were both Lewis acid sites and basic sites, and that the active sites of MeY were mainly the metal ions.In light of the nature of the active sites, reaction mechanisms were proposed for the cracking of ethanethiol over individual solid acid catalysts.
