A study of the mercury-sensitized photo-reactions of isobutane.

This thesis presents the results of an experiment conducted to discover if selenic acid or monazite sand are possible catalysts that can be used for the alkylation of isobutane and isobutene.

A study of the effect of photo-sensitized mercury on mixtures of isobutane and isobutene.

No description available.

This study investigated mercury-sensitized photochemical action on a mixture of isobutane and isobutene. Flow runs of isobutane-isobutene 3.2.1 mercury-saturated gases illuminated with unfiltered radiation of mercury vapor lamp gave no detectable change to hydrocarbons heavier than C4 at reaction tempratures of 27C. and 99C.

Neste trabalho s€o apresentadas as medidas do coeficiente de multiplica€o gasosa (α) no isobutano puro obtidas com uma cƒmara de placas paralelas protegida contra descargas por um eletrodo de vidro (anodo) de elevada resistividade (ρ = 2 x 1012.cm). O m†todo empregado foi o de Townsend pulsado, onde a ioniza€o prim‡ria † produzida pela incidˆncia de um feixe de laser de nitrogˆnio em um eletrodo met‡lico (catodo). As correntes el†tricas medidas com a cƒmara operando em regime de ioniza€o e de avalanche foram utilizadas para o c‡lculo do coeficiente de multiplica€o gasosa pela solu€o da equa€o de Townsend para campos el†tricos uniformes. A t†cnica utilizada foi validada pelas medidas do coeficiente de multiplica€o gasosa no nitrogˆnio, um g‡s amplamente estudado, e para o qual se tem dados bem estabelecidos na literatura. Os coeficientes de multiplica€o gasosa do isobutano foram medidos em fun€o do campo el†trico reduzido no intervalo de 139Td a 208Td. Os valores obtidos foram comparados com os simulados pelo programa Imonte (vers€o 4.5) e com os ‰nicos dados existentes na literatura, recentemente obtidos pelo nosso grupo. Esta compara€o demonstrou que os resultados s€o concordantes dentro dos erros experimentais. / In this work it is presented measurements of gaseous multiplication coefficient (α) in pure isobutane obtained with a parallel plate chamber, protected against discharges by one electrode (anode) of high resistivity glass (ρ = 2 x 1012.cm). The method applied was the Pulsed Townsend, where the primary ionization is produced through the incidence of a nitrogen laser beam onto a metallic electrode (cathode). The electric currents measured with the chamber operating in both ionization and avalanche regimes were used to calculate the gaseous multiplication coefficient by the solution of the Townsend equation for uniform electric fields. The validation of the technique was provided by the measurements of gaseous multiplication coefficient in pure nitrogen, a widely studied gas, which has well-established data in literature. The coefficients in isobutane were measured as a function of the reduced electric field in the range of 139Td up to 208Td. The obtained values were compared with those simulated by Imonte software (version 4.5) and the only experimental results available in the literature, recently obtained in our group. This comparison showed that the results are concordant within the experimental errors.
