Abstract

Kaolinites, catalytically active for the polymerization of styrene, can be deactivated by treatment with 1N aqueous sodium chloride. Subsequent washing of the sodium kaolinite results in a facile hydrolysis yielding an active hydronium/aluminum kaolinite in which the exchangeable cations act as surface Br0onsted acid initiation sites.

Résumé

Résumé

Des kaolinites, dotées d’une activité catalytique pour la polymérisation du styrène, peuvent être inactivées par un traitement au chlorure de sodium aqueux 1 N. Un lavage ultérieur de la kaolinite sodique entraîne une hydrolyse facile qui fournit une kaolinite hydronium/aluminium, dans laquelle les cations échangeables agissent comme sites d’initiation superficiels par une acidité de Brønsted.

Kurzreferat

Kurzreferat

Kaolinite, die für die Polymerisation von Styrol katalytisch aktiv sind, können durch Behandlung mit 1 N wässriger Natriumchloridlösung deaktiviert werden. Nachfolgendes Waschen des Natriumkaolinits führt ohne weiteres zu Hydrolyse, bei welcher ein aktiver Hydronium/Aluminium Kaolinit gebildet wird, in welchem die austauschbaren Kationen Stellen zur Einleitung einer Brønstedsäure-Oberfläche bilden können.

Резюме

Резюме

Каолиниты, являющиеся активными катализаторами при полимеризации стирола, лишаются своей активности при обработке 1N водным раствором хлорида натрия. Последующее промывание натриевого каолинита приводит к легкому гидролизу, дающему активный HзО+/Al-каолинит, в котором обменные катионы действуют как поверхностные кислотноинициирующие центры.
