Reaction rate of n12C radiative capture at temperature from 0.01 to 10 T9

Within the framework of a modified potential cluster model with forbidden states, radiation n12C capture at energies from 10-5 keV to 5 MeV is considered, taking into account a wide resonance at Ex = 8.2 MeV. It is shown that on the basis of potentials that are consistent with the energies of the bound states, it is possible to correctly transfer the available experimental data. Based on the obtained total cross sections, the n12C capture reaction rate was calculated. The results for reaction rate are approximated by simple expressions, which simplifies their use in applied research.

The reaction rate and efficiency of piperazine to 1,4-diazabicyclo-octane (DABCO) depends on the Si/Al ratio of the MFI topology catalysts. The Al was shown to be the active site, however, in the Si/Al range of 30-200 the reaction rate increases as the Si/Al ratio increases. The objective of this work was to determine the location and concentration of Al to explain this inverse relationship of Al content with reaction rate.Two silicalite catalysts in the form of 1/16 inch SiO2/Al2O3 bonded extrudates were examined: catalyst A with a Si/Al of 83; and catalyst B, the acid/phosphate Al extracted form of catalyst A, with a Si/Al of 175. Five extrudates from each catalyst were fractured in the transverse direction and particles were obtained from the fracture surfaces near the center of the extrudate diameter. Particles were also obtained from the outside surfaces of five extrudates.
