UHV Conditions: Sn/Pt( 111) Surface Alloys J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 751-755 751 A New Catalysis for Benzene Production from Acetylene under UHV Conditions: Sn/Pt( 111) Surface Alloys Chen Xu, John W. Peck, and Bruce E. Koel* Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089-0482. Received July 23, 1992 Abstract: The adsorption and reaction of acetylene on Pt(l 11) and the p(2X2) and (v/3Xv/3)R30°Sn/Pt(l 11) surface alloys were investigated with low energy electron diffraction (LEED), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The presence of Sn atoms at the surface of the p(2X2) and (v/3Xv/3)R30°Sn/Pt(l 11) surface alloys strongly suppressed the decomposition of acetylene (C2D2) to deuterium and adsorbed carbon. As a result, a new reaction path is opened on the Sn/Pt(l 11) surface alloys—benzene formation. Besides benzene desorption, we also observed butadiene desorption, which is obviously a C4 product of a stable intermediate in benzene production. The (\/3X\/3)R30oSn/Pt(l 11) surface shows the highest activity and selectivity for the formation of benzene and butadiene. Following C2D2 adsorption on the Pt(l 11) surface at 110 K, LEED shows a faint (2X2) pattern. After saturation dosing of acetylene on the p(2X2)Sn/Pt(l 11) surface at 110 K we find a large increase in the (2X2) LEED pattern intensity. This implies that an acetylene (2X2) substructure also forms on the p(2X2)Sn/Pt(l 11) surface. Introduction adsorption on Sn/Pt(l 11) surface alloys have shown that the alloys The palladium-catalyzed cyclotrimerization of acetylene has have a greatly reduced reactivity for hydrocarbon dehydrogenation attracted a lot of attention because of the measurable amount of on clean Pt(l 11).1314 Thus, we were attracted to explore acetylene benzene formation found even under ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) adsorption and reaction on Sn/Pt(l 11) surface alloys.

The experimental reaction conditions were chosen to operate under intrinsic kinetic conditions, free from heat and mass transfer limitations. The data could be described adequately by a Langmuir–Hinshelwood rate-equation based on a series of sequential hydrogen additions according to the Horiuti–Polanyi mechanism. The mechanism involves a single active site on which both the conversion of acetylene and ethylene take place. Keywords: power-law; Langmuir–Hinshelwood; kinetic modeling; Pd/α-Al2O3 1. Introduction Ethylene is the largest of the basic chemical building blocks with a global market estimated at more than 140 million tons per year with an increasing growth rate. It is used mainly as precursor for polymers production, for instance polyethylene, vinyl chloride, ethylbenzene, or even ethylene oxide synthesis.

Acetylene cylinders must be stored with the valve HAZARDS caps installed and in a well-ventilated area. Particular care must be taken with small cylinders that do not have valve protection caps. Keep cylinders away from external sources of heat. Cylinders are not designed for temperatures in excess of 125F (52C). Acetylene must be stored at least 20-feet away from oxygen or separated by a five foot high fire-rated wall. MSHA Photo Acetylene poses unique hazards based on its high flammability, instability and unique storage and transportation requirements. Acetylene is highly unstable. High pressure or temperatures can result in decomposition that can result in fire or explosion. Acetylene cylinders must never be transported or stored in a closed vehicle. There are several documented explosions that have occurred due to the buildup of acetylene vapors inside of a vehicle that were triggered by a spark from the vehicle’s Canadian Center for Occupation Health & Safety electrical system.

  • Measurement of Carbonyl Fluoride, Hydrogen Fluoride, and Other Combustion Byproducts During Fire Suppression Testing by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
    MEASUREMENT OF CARBONYL FLUORIDE, HYDROGEN FLUORIDE, AND OTHER COMBUSTION BYPRODUCTS DURING FIRE SUPPRESSION TESTING BY FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY Craig S. Miser, and W. Randolph Davis Aberdeen Test Center, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD and Kevin L. McNesby, Army Research Laboratory, Steven H. Hoke U. S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventative Medicine and Michael K. Leonnig, Sci-Tech, Services Inc. ABSTRACT The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)spectrometer is used for gathering toxic byproduct data in real fire situations using Halon replacement candidate systems. A unique approach is used to obtain carbonyl fluoride calibration data. Hydrogen fluoride can be measured in all systems; carbonyl fluoride can be measured in most systems. Several other methodologies are used simultaneously to measure hydrogen fluoride, and these data are compared. Further work will be done to refine this methodology and in-situ measurement will be employed in the future. INTRODUCTION The United States Army is committed to replacing its halon-based fire suppression systems. Evaluation of candidate replacement systems is a complex problem that requires the analytical measurement of chemical byproducts. Factors such as agent dispersion, extinguishment time, and bottle configuration can all affect the nature and quantity of the gaseous byproducts. Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) based replacement systems, such as hexafluoropropane, heptafluoropropane, and octafluoropropane, stoichiometrically contain about twice the fluorine of Halon 1301 systems. These HFC-based systems also have extinguishing concentrations roughly twice that of Halon 1301, according to conventional cup burner data [l]. These factors. combine to produce systems with about four times more total fluorine. This causes great concern for the production of carbonyl fluoride (CFzO) and hydrogen fluoride (HF)as toxic byproducts [2].
