Abstract:
The oxidation of titanium and titanium aluminides has attracted the attention of scientists for many years because of their high-temperature application. The most popular method to investigate oxidation behavior is the measurement of alloy mass changes during exposure to elevated-temperature under isothermal or thermal cycling conditions. However, the thermogravimetric method is not enough to establish an oxidation mechanism. In this paper, the temperature-programmed oxidation (TPOx) and reduction (TPR) were applied for the Ti-Al and Ti-Al-Nb systems, which was a new experimental concept which revealed interesting phenomena. Although oxidation of titanium alloys is well-described in the literature, not many papers present at the same time reduction of oxidized alloys. The results presented in the paper concentrated on the first stages of oxidation, which are scarcely described in the literature, but are important to understand the oxidation mechanism. Comparison between powder and bulk samples with similar compositions revealed essential differences in the oxidation mechanism.

As shown below, the mechanism involves three steps. Firstly, the hydride ion acting as a nucleophile attacks the nitrile carbon to form an anion. In the second step, a second equivalent of the hydride ion attacks the anion to...

Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...

01:19Acid Halides to Alcohols: LiAlH4 Reduction
The mechanism proceeds in three steps. First, the nucleophilic hydride ion attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid halide to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Next, the carbonyl group is re-formed, and the halide ion departs as a leaving group, generating an aldehyde. A second nucleophilic attack by the hydride yields an alkoxide ion, which, upon protonation, gives a primary alcohol as...
