Abstract

We have studied by means of differential microcalorimetry the adsorption process of 1-propanol on α-Al2O3 at the temperatures of 25, 50, 100, 150 and 200°C, respectively. Both amounts of adsorbed alcohol and heats released decrease as the temperature of adsorption increases. At very low coverage, the high value of differential heat shows a strong irreversible chemisorption on active sites (Lewis acid sites) (qdiff>200 kJ·mol−1). Moreover, we carried out some thermokinetic investigations on heat emission peaks at different coverage degree (different equilibrium pressure of 1-propanol vapour as a function of time) and at different temperatures of adsorption, at same coverage.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels Differential-Mikrokalorimetrie wurde bei den Temperaturen 25, 50, 100, 150 und 200°C der Adsorptionsprozeß von 1-Propanol an α-Al2O3 untersucht. Sowohl die Menge adsorbierten Alkoholes als auch freigesetzter Wärme nimmt mit steigender Adsorptionstemperatur ab. Bei sehr geringfügiger Bedeckung zeigt der hohe Wert des Wärmeunterschiedes eine stark irreversible Chemisorption an aktiven Stellen (Lewis-Säure-Stellen) (qdiff> 200 kJ·mol−1). Weiterhin führten wir einige thermokinetische Untersuchungen des Wärmeemissionspeaks bei unterschiedlicher Bedeckung (unterschiedlicher Gleichgewichtsdruck von 1-Propanoldampf als Funktion der Zeit) sowie bei verschiedenen Temperaturen und gleicher Bedeckung durch.
