Thermal studies on melting and crystallization of polyamide fibres

Effect of heating rate on melting and crystallization of polyamide fibres has been examined using differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) technique. Peak temperature for melting (T _m) and crystallization (T _k) get suppressed with the increase in the heating rate which has been explained on the basis of chain orientation. Heat of melting (H _m) and crystallization (H _k) have been measured.H _m vs. T _m shows a nonlinear dependence which has been explained on the basis of entropy change. Quantitative difference inH _m andH _k values has been explained on the basis of orientation and degradation of the polymer.

Zusammenfassung Der Einfluss der Aufheizgeschwindigkeit auf das Schmelzen und die Kristallisation von Polyamidfasern wurde unter Anwendung der Differential-Scanning-Calorimetrie (DSC) untersucht. Die Peaktemperatur für das Schmelzen (T _m) und die Kristallisation (T _k) wird mit steigender Aufheizgeschwindigkeit herabgesetzt, was anhand der Kettenorientierung erklärt wurde. Die Schmelzwärme (H _m) und die Kristallisationswärme (H _k) wurden gemessen. Die FunktionH _m –T _m zeigt eine nichtlineare Abhängigkeit, welche durch die Entropieänderung erklärt wurde. Die quantitativen Unterschiede derH _m –H _k-Werte wurden auf Grundlage einer Orientierung und des Abbaus des Polymers erklärt.

Radiation-Induced Transformations of Iron(II) Formate

The solid-phase decomposition of the iron formate crystal hydrate Fe(HCOO)₂ · 2H₂O under exposure to ⁶⁰Co -rays or 3.5-MeV electrons was studied. It was found that the irradiation of this salt to absorbed doses of 0.1–2 MGy resulted in the radiolysis of water of crystallization and the HCOO^– anion and in the reduction or oxidation of the Fe²⁺ cation. The composition of the solid-phase (-Fe, -Fe, FeO, -Fe -Fe₂O₃, Fe₃O₄, and FeCO₃) and gaseous (H₂O, CO, CO₂, HCOOH, and CH₄) radiolysis products of the substance was determined.     

Caracterisation par analyse thermique differentielle des complexes de l'aluminium avec les acides fulviques et humiques

Résumé L'analyse thermique différentielle sous oxygène permet de caractériser divers complexes formés entre l'aluminium et les acides fulviques (ou humiques): en particulier, les complexes pseudo-solubles ne sont pas identiques aux complexes floculés. Les liaisons hydrogènes qui unissent l'alumine hydratée aux acides fulviques (ou humiques) dans la forme floculée rendent l'ensemble beaucoup moins stable thermiquement que les trois formes complexes pseudo-solubles.

Differential thermal analysis in oxygen renders possible the investigation of various complexes of aluminium with fulvic acid (or humic acid). The pseudo-soluble complexes are not identical with the flocculated complexes. The hydrogen bonds linking hydrated aluminium with fulvic (or humic) acids in the flocculated form reduce the thermal stability of the complexes compared with the three pseudo-soluble forms.

Zusammenfassung Die Differentialthermoanalyse in Sauerstoff ermöglicht die verschiedenen Komplexe des Aluminiums mit Fulvinsäure (oder Huminsäure) zu charakterisieren. Die pseudo-löslichen Komplexe sind nicht identisch mit den flockulierten Komplexen. Die das hydratierte Aluminium mit den Fulvinsäuren (oder Huminsäuren) in der flockulierten Form verbindenden Wasserstoffbindungen vermindern die thermische Stabilität der Verbindung gegenüber den drei pseudo-löslichen Formen.

Décomposition thermique du sulfite de fer(II) anhydre

Résumé Sous azote ou sous vide, le sulfite ferreux anhydre se décompose vers 210° en magnétite, pyrite et dioxyde de soufre. Concurremment une réaction de dismutation intervient avec formation de FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ et FeS₂. Lorsque la température atteint 320°, la pyrite et le sulfate réagissent ensemble pour donner Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ et SO₂. Au-delà de 370° le sulfure ferreux non-stchiométrique commence à réagir à son tour avec le sulfate restant pour former de la magnetite et du dioxyde de soufre.

In nitrogen or under vacuum, anhydrous iron(II) sulfite decomposes near 210° to magnetite, pyrite and sulfur dioxide. A parallel disproportionation reaction occurs with formation of FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ and FeS₂. When the temperature reaches 320°, pyrite and sulfate react together to give Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ and SO₂. Above 370° the non-stoichiometric ferrous sulfide begins to react with the remaining sulfate to give magnetite and sulfur dioxide.

Parallel hierzu findet eine Disproportionierung unter Bildung von FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ und FeS₂ statt. Wenn die Temperatur 320 °C erreicht, reagieren Pyrit und Sulfat unter Bildung von Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ und SO₂ Oberhalb von 370 °C beginnt das nichtstöchiometrische Eisensulfit seinerseits mit dem restlichen Sulfat zu reagieren um Magnetit und Schwefeldioxid zu ergeben.

Optical and electrical measurements on CO2 covered copper films

Thin polycrystalline copper films are deposited in a special UHV cell on glass substrates and are covered step by step with CO₂. The optical and electrical properties of the films are studied in-situ by means of ellipsometry and resistivity measurements. The properties of the clean films correspond to literature data. In the case of monolayer adsorption of CO₂, the changes in the ellipsometrical angles are +1° and +0.1°, similar to the Cu/O and Cu/CO systems. Three-dimensional island growth leads to a drastical increase of and by several orders of magnitude. The resistivity first quickly decreases and then slowly reapproaches the initial value. This marked kinetics is quantitatively interpreted on the basis of a diffusion model.

Thermal and some other properties of the complexes crystallizing from the system Ni(II)-en-[Ni(CN)4]2−-H2O

Seven complex compounds exhibiting the compositions Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄·H₂O (I), Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄ (II),-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (III), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄·2H₂O (IV), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄ (V), Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ · 2.5H₂O (VI) and-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (VII) were prepared from the system Ni-en-[Ni(CN)₄]^2–-H₂O. These compounds were examined by the methods of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry, UV-VIS reflectance spectroscopy, and also by the measurement of magnetic moments. The thermal stability, the stoichiometry of thermal decomposition and the mutual transformations were investigated with a derivatograph. The reactions proceeding according to the following schemes were observed if the system was heated to appropriate temperature: (I)(II)(III)(V)(IV) and (VI)(VII)(III)(V)(IV) Process (VII)(III) represents isomerization. The reversibility of the process (V)(IV) is due to the high hygroscopicity of the anhydrous complex. The changes in structure in the course of the individual processes are discussed.

Characterization of active species in alumina and silica supported CuCl2 catalysts by EPR

In a recent paper [1] we proposed that a Cu²⁺ species interacting with the support was responsible for maintaining the catalytic activity of CuCl₂ catalysts used in the methane oxyhydrochlorination reaction (CH₄+HCl+O₂ chloromethanes). This species was detected on Al₂O₃ and TiO₂ supports but it did not appear on SiO₂. In this paper we report EPR results which provide a direct characterization of this species and correlate well with the observed trends in activity.

Coupled hydrogenation of arenes and alkenes or dienes with cobalt phosphine complexes

Coupled hydrogenation of arenes with alkenes and dienes proceeds under mild conditions in the presence of a phosphine-modified cobalt system as well as of H₃Co[P(C₄H₉)₃]₃. Benzene hydrogenation products are cyclohexene (up to 25%) and cyclohexane. By the ESR method, a Co(0) complex containing P(C₄H₉)₃, an arene molecule and AlR₃ as ligands has been identified in the catalytic system Al(C₂H₅)₃+Co(C₅H₇O₂)₂+P(C₄H₉)₃. The nature of the active complex and the possible mechanism of the coupled process are discussed.

Mössbauer study of the thermal decompositions of alkaline earth tris(oxalato)ferrates(III)

The thermal decompositions of alkaline earth tris(oxalato)ferrates(III) (Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) have been studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy and other techniques. During the thermal decomposition, dehydration occurs first, followed by reduction to iron(II) species, and oxides and ferrites (MFe^IIIO₄) are then formed at higher temperature. In the case of strontium tris(oxalato)ferrate(III), strontium ferrite (SrFe^IVO₄) is formed at 700°.

Telomerization of butadiene with diethylamine catalyzed by Ni, Pd and Pt allyl halide complexes

The telomerization of butadiene with diethylamine with the formation of the tertiary amine (C₂H₅)₂NC₈H₁₃ is catalyzed by Ni, Pd and Pt allyl halide complexes. Triphenylphosphine increases the activity of such catalysts. The rate of telomerization depends strongly on the [PPh₃]/[M] ratio (M=Pd and Pt) and increases in the series of metals: Ni3H₅PdCl)₂ exceeds that of (-C₃H₅)₂ Pd by more than two orders of magnitude.
