Isomerization runs were performed in a micro-reactor at 325 °C over a range of butene partial pressure of 84 to 763 mm Hg and at a total pressure of approximately 1 atm. The isomerization rate of 1-butene passed through a maximum with increasing 1-butene partial pressure; the isomerization rate of cis- and trans-2-butene increased asymptotically with increasing cis- and trans-2-butene partial pressures respectively. Stereoselectivity was observed in the isomerization of each butene, and was found to be independent of pressure. Catalyst deactivation resulted in loss in stereoselectivity. Results suggest that surface reactions control isomerization and proceed simultaneously on different active sites.

Vanadium nitride thin films have been deposited on to quartz substrates by dc magnetron sputtering at two different total pressures and a series of nitrogen partial pressures. The spectral transmittance of these films, in the region 350 to 1500 nm, is strongly dependent on the nitrogen partial pressure during sputtering and relatively insensitive to total pressure. The films became more transparent as the nitrogen partial pressure was decreased at a constant total pressure. The optical constants, refractive index and extinction coefficient, exhibited a similar dependence on the nitrogen partial pressure. The sheet resistivity of the films decreased with increasing nitrogen partial pressure. The values of resistivity indicate that the films are semiconducting rather than metalic.

TiO2 thin films have been deposited by reactive DC magnetron sputtering technique to study the effect of total pressure and oxygen partial pressure on structure and hydrophilic properties. The crystal structure and hydrophilic property was measured by XRD and contact angle meter, respectively. The results showed that the films were composed of pure rutile and mixed of anatase/rutile structure dependent on the total pressure and oxygen partial pressure. It was found that all films can perform hydrophilic property. In case of high total pressure, the films showed superhydrophilic property, whereas the films deposited under various oxygen partial pressures with fixed total pressure were all films exhibit superhydrophilic property.

AbstractRuthenium dioxide films have been prepared by rf reactive magnetron sputtering at different oxygen partial pressures and total sputtering pressures. The films have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electrical conductivity. The films prepared at low oxygen partial pressure and total pressure show a strong preferred orientation along the [110] direction. As both pressures increased, the peak intensity decreases. All the films are subject to a compressive stress. As the total pressure is decreased and the oxygen partial pressure is increased, the stress increases. When the total pressure is lower than 6 × 10−3 mbar and the oxygen partial pressure is higher than 1 × 103 mbar, the films peeled off automatically from the substrate because of the high stress. The films prepared at high oxygen partial pressure and high total pressure have a rough surface and those prepared at low pressure show smooth surface. In this paper, these phenomena have been discussed. In addition, the electrical properties of the films are also discussed.

Heterogeneous catalysts, used in industry for the production of fuels and chemicals, are microporous solids characterized by a high internal surface area. The catalyticly active sites may occur at the surface of the bulk solid or of small crystallites deposited on a porous support. An example of the former case would be a zeolite, and of the latter, a supported metal catalyst. Since the activity and selectivity of a catalyst are known to be a function of surface composition and structure, it is highly desirable to characterize catalyst surfaces with atomic scale resolution. Where the active phase is dispersed on a support, it is also important to know the dispersion of the deposited phase, as well as its structural and compositional uniformity, the latter characteristics being particularly important in the case of multicomponent catalysts. Knowledge of the pore size and shape is also important, since these can influence the transport of reactants and products through a catalyst and the dynamics of catalyst deactivation.

The corrosion mechanism of organic silicon modified polyurea composite coating under different CO2 partial pressures was studied using high-temperature autoclave, combined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), adhesion tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technology. The experimental results showed that: there was no corrosion product formed on the surface of coating sample after high-temperature high-pressure corrosion test, and with the increasing of CO2 partial pressure, the coating adhesion and impedance values decline increases. Moreover CO2 partial pressure increases accelerated the failure process of polyurea composite coating system.

The sulfidation experiments with two kinds of Chinese calcined limestones were performed in a pressurized thermogravimetric analyzer (PTGA). The effects of reaction temperature (700–950°C), total pressure (0–1MPa), particle size (0.055–2mm), and H2S concentration (0.1–4%) on the sorbent conversions were analyzed. Morphological studies with scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) equipment were made to obtain the pictures of solid surface and of the cross-sectioned samples. Nitrogen adsorption measurements were applied to determine the pore structure properties of the particles. Experimental results show that the sulfidation rate increases with total pressure when the volume fraction of H2S is constant. However, the rate of sulfidation decreases with the increase of total pressure when the H2S partial pressure is constant. Reaction temperature affects the sulfidation greatly, and the reaction rate increases with temperature. The sulfidation is the first order with respect to H2S partial pressure. Moreover, larger particles result in lower conversions and reaction rates. The unreacted shrinking core model was applied to describe the sulfidation to determine the kinetic parameters.

AbstractAl was evaporated at oxygen partial pressures, PO2, varying between 10−7 and 10−4 Pa on substrates of silicon nitride. The substrate temperature was varied between 20 °C and 250°C. The films were annealed at temperatures up to 500°C.For Al films deposited at 20°C, it was found that the average grain size decreases with increasing oxygen partial pressure. After annealing recrystallization was observed. The relative increase of grain size was less for higher values of pO2. Annealing gave rise to a broad grain size distribution.For Al films deposited at 250°C, the presence of oxygen caused the growth of rough inhomogeneous films. This inhomogeneous structure remained during annealing.

A detailed study has been made of the control and optimization of partial melting of dipcoated Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8+δAg0.1 (Bi-2212) tapes using reduced oxygen partial pressures. A coulometric titration technique has been employed to vary the oxygen partial pressure in a region of the phase diagram corresponding to binary melting, and the amount of partial melting has been quantified. Using this information, tapes have been processed using both isothermal and isobaric techniques. An optimum processing route was determined which combined isothermal and isobaric processes. Highly aligned material at the point of optimum melting was obtained.
