Mathematical modeling of induction period of chemical reactions

 

Investigation of mechanism of homogeneous metalcomplex catalysis is important problem of modern chemistry. The reactions which run with complex of transitional metals are complicated processes. Modern physical and chemical methods cannot define the structure of all intermediates which take part in complex catalytic processes. Therefore we have mathematical ambiguity of solution in solving the inverse problems of searching for kinetic parameters. In science school of Dzhemilev U.M. the fundamental catalytic reactions of hydro-, carbo- and cycloalumination of unsaturated compounds was worked out.

In last years investigations of mechanism of given processes was started. The aim of these investigations is building the kinetic model of given reactions. For the reaction of olefins hydroalumination by alkylalanes in presence of catalyst Cp2ZrCl2 the existence of induction period was shown experimentally. Induction period is some time interval [0;Tind], such that we have a slow accumulaton of reaction product during this time interval. Out of this interval the fast accumulation of reaction product observed. Induction period exist in various chemical systems, however, for the processes of homogeneous metalcomplex catalysis, particularly, for the reaction of olefins hydroalumination the question about induction period is not investigated.

Thus, the mathematical modeling of induction period in reactions with metalcomplex catalysts is important and relevant.

The main aim of this work is investigation the mechanism of reaction of olefins hydroalumination by alkylalanes in presence of catalyst Cp2ZrCl2, mathematical modeling of induction period, building a kinetic model of process, detachment the stages which define the characteristics of induction period.

Let’s consider the system of differential equations which describe the kinetics of some chemical reaction

                                                             ,             (1)

where ,  ,  - a number of process members,   - a number of elementary stages,  -concentration of substance , - stoichiometric coefficients of substances, - velocity of jth stage.

The system (1) solved with use a “time division” method. Firstly we made a numerical integration of system (1) by explicit method of Runge-Kutta with variable step (but with implicit scheme of Eiler for the “fast” variables). Then by knowing a computational solution we divide the time interval (0;) on a chain of subintervals. On each of these subintervals the initial system simplified to the subsystem differential-algebraic equations by the following rules:

1)     If on some time interval the absolute value of rate of change of normalized concentration of ith substance is less then absolute value of rate of change of normalized concentration of other substance then ith equation of initial system can be written as  where  -concentration of ith substance at time t.

2)     If on some time interval the absolute value of rate of change of normalized concentration of ith substance is less then absolute value of some items in right side, then ith differential equation of initial system can be replaced by algebraic equation , where -velocity of jth stage,  - stoichiometric coefficients.

3)     If on some time interval in the right side some items exist which is less by its absolute value in comparison with the rest items then we can ignore this items.

We know a works which dedicated to investigation of induction period. But we don’t know any works about modeling of induction period in catalytic processes, in particular, in reaction of olefins hydroalumination by alkylalanes in presence of catalyst Cp2ZrCl2.

Experimental data was obtained in laboratory of structure chemistry in institute of oil chemistry and catalysis of RAS.

The problem of induction period modeling for reaction of olefins hydroalumination with catalyst Cp2ZrCl2 is appeared. For different schemes of given reaction we need:

1)     to create a methods and algorithms of modeling the induction period, to make a calculating experiment which modeling an induction period.

2)     to define a kinetic parameters of reaction which describe given experimental data (for different initial concentrations of catalyst and different temperatures of reaction) as good as it possible.

3)     Clear up the stages of reaction which define an existence of induction period.
