惰气熔融-红外吸收光谱法测定镧铈稀土钢中氧含量

高品质稀土钢要求进行精确低氧含量控制,而依据现有GB/T11261-2006标准进行氧含量测定,检测结果具有较大的不准确性。本研究以具有不同镧、铈稀土元素含量的稀土钢为对象,以其氧含量精确测定为目标,基于惰气熔融-红外吸收法,开展了分析功率、助熔剂和称样量对镧铈稀土钢中氧含量分析结果的影响研究。结果表明,对于不同镧、铈元素含量的稀土钢,需要采用不同的分析方法：当稀土钢中的镧、铈含量较低时,通过降低分析功率即可较为精确的测定稀土钢中的氧含量;对于镧、铈含量较高的稀土钢,在调控分析功率（分析功率在4000W～4500W）的基础上,需同时采用锡作为助熔剂,并将助熔剂与样品比例设定为1:1（称样量为0.3g～0.6g）,即可实现氧含量的精确测定。精密度验证实验结果显示,采用本研究所建立的方法,氧含量测试结果相对标准偏差（RSD）小于8.0%;采用钢标样进行回收率实验,回收率值在97%～108%,而加标回收率略有升高的原因在于助熔剂Sn降低了合金熔点,使少量难熔氧化物中的氧得到更充分释放。本研究所建立的分析方法可准确测定不同镧、铈元素含量稀土钢中的氧含量。     

Microdetermination of oxygen in organic compounds using a glassy carbon pyrolysis tube and nondispersive infrared detection

A glassy carbon pyrolysis tube holding a filling of carbon granules, protected from atmospheric oxygen by the carrier gas and an aluminum oxide ceramic mantle tube, has been successfully used for the first time in the microdetermination of oxygen. The reaction temperature of 1300 °C assures the quantitative transformation of oxygen to carbon monoxide, which is measured by infrared detection. The analysis of fluorine, phosphorus and alkali metal containing compounds is now possible. A 10% hydrogen content in the nitrogen carrier gas enhances liberation of oxygen in organometallic compounds. The method is applicable to sample weights between 0.1 and 5 mg and the time required for one analysis is 100 s.     

The effect of diamine length on the direct solid state polycondensation of semi‐aromatic nylon salts

In the current paper, a comparative study on the direct solid state polycondensation (DSSP) reaction of different terephthalate based semi‐aromatic salts (XT salts, X = 4–18) in the TGA micro‐reactor is reported. High purity XT salts were prepared in solution and were used as starting materials for DSSP. The reaction temperature (T_DSSP) for each salt was suitably selected as 20 °C–30 °C below the melting point T_m of the respective salt. The PAXT products were characterized by TGA/DSC, liquid ¹H‐NMR, and SEM. In the DSSP of XT salts, some diamine is always lost to the gas phase and as a consequence, the attainable molecular weight of the polymer formed gets limited by the unbalance of acid and amine end‐groups. The TGA curves show that as the diamine length increases and its volatility decreases, higher molecular weights are obtained. SEM pictures of the products reveal true solid character during the polymerization reaction up to and including PA10T, whereas PA5T, PA12T, and PA18T reveal stickiness and agglomeration during reaction. A possible mechanism explaining such behaviour is also provided. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2016 , 54, 2493–2506     

Size-dependent melting of silica-encapsulated gold nanoparticles

We report on the size dependence of the melting temperature of silica-encapsulated gold nanoparticles. The melting point was determined using differential thermal analysis (DTA) coupled to thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. The small gold particles, with sizes ranging from 1.5 to 20 nm, were synthesized using radiolytic and chemical reduction procedures and then coated with porous silica shells to isolate the particles from one another. The resulting silica-encapsulated gold particles show clear melting endotherms in the DTA scan with no accompanying weight loss of the material in the TGA examination. The silica shell acts as a nanocrucible for the melting gold with little effect on the melting temperature itself, even though the analytical procedure destroys the particles once they melt. Phenomenological thermodynamic predictions of the size dependence of the melting point of gold agree with the experimental observation. Implications of these observations to the self-diffusion coefficient of gold in the nanoparticles are discussed, especially as they relate to the spontaneous alloying of core-shell bimetallic particles.     

锂/铌镁催化剂中碳酸锂的熔点与甲烷氧化偶联反应的活化和失活的关系

研究了铌掺杂的Li/MgO甲烷氧化偶联催化剂的反应性质及铌的助剂作用。铌的引入使得该催化剂上甲烷氧化偶联反应的活化温度降低50℃以上, 使此温度降到了催化剂中碳酸锂的熔点附近。试验观察到部分催化剂上甲烷氧化偶联反应的活性曲线在碳酸锂的熔点附近有一转折, 这一转折现象的出现与否及程度取决于制备条件。在碳酸锂的熔点附近, 含有铌的催化剂得到活化, 观察到无稀释气体时的反应引燃现象, 即温度增加几度活性便达到最大值。当在比碳酸锂熔点稍高的温度下且不稀释时反应, 含铌催化剂活性很高但很快失活, 在稍低于此熔点下则不失活, 但活性较低。这些试验结果表明, 含铌催化剂的活化与失活均与催化剂中的碳酸锂的相变化有关。试验还观察到了在稍高于碳酸锂的熔点下做寿命试验时, 甲烷氧化偶联反应的振荡现象。     

Application of Fe2O3/Al2O3 Composite Particles as Oxygen Carrier of Chemical Looping Combustion

Chemical looping combustion (CLC) of carbonaceous compounds has been proposed, in the past decade, as an efficient method for CO2 capture without cost of extra energy penalties. The technique involves the use of a metal oxide as an oxygen carrier that transfers oxygen from combustion air to fuels. The combustion is carried out in a two-step process: in the fuel reactor, the fuel is oxidized by a metal oxide, and in the air reactor, the reduced metal is oxidized back to the original phase. The use of iron oxide as an oxygen carrier has been investigated in this article. Particles composed of 80 wt% Fe2O3, together with Al2O3 as binder, have been prepared by impregnation methods. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals that Fe2O3 does not interact with the Al2O3 binder after multi-cycles. The reactivity of the oxygen carrier particles has been studied in twenty-cycle reduction-oxidation tests in a thermal gravimetrical analysis (TGA) reactor. The components in the outlet gas have been analyzed. It has been observed that about 85% of CH4 converted to CO2 and H2O during most of the reduction periods. The oxygen carrier has kept quite a high reactivity in the twenty-cycle reactions. In the first twenty reaction cycles, the reaction rates became slightly higher with the number of cyclic reactions increasing, which was confirmed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) test results. The SEM analysis revealed that the pore size inside the particle had been enlarged by the thermal stress during the reaction, which was favorable for diffusion of the gaseous reactants into the particles. The experimental results suggested that the Fe2O3/Al2O3 oxygen carrier was a promising candidate for a CLC system.

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THERMOTROPIC COPOLYESTERS AND COPOLY (ESTER-AMIDE)S CONTAINING OXYETHYLENE-ETHER AS THE SPACER

Flexible oxyethylene-ether was introduced into the aromatic copolyesters and copoly(es-ter-amide)s to reduce the melting point of resulting polymers. The melting point was greatlyreduced to 200℃ or even lower in some cases, and the molecular weight was satisfactorilyhigh as reflected by inherent viscosity. The polymers exhibited high thermal stability and goodmechanical properties as determined by TGA and mechanical tests. The copolyester showedbetter crystallinity and liquid crystallinity than corresponding copoly(ester-amide)s with simi-lar monomer composition as reflected by POM observation and WAXD study. The meltingpoints for both copolyesters and copoly (ester-amide)s showed great dependence on the p-acetoxybenzoic acid (PAB) content in monomer composition and reached the lowest valuewhen PAB was 29 mol%.     

Thermal characteristics of Cu-based oxygen carriers

Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a novel combustion technology with the capability for segregation of exhaust products (i.e., carbon dioxide/H₂O or N₂/O₂). The combustion is performed in two interconnected reactors with a solid oxygen carrier circulating between them, transferring oxygen from the air to the fuel. The feasibility of a successful CLC system depends on the selection of an appropriate oxygen carrier. Cu-based oxygen carriers are good oxygen carriers due to high reactivity. However, it faces low melting point, agglomeration problems in fluidized bed. In this study, a circular reduction?Coxidation reaction simulated to the cyclic operation of the Cu-based oxygen carrier was conducted on the thermogravimetric analyzer (TG). The thermal behaviors of the potential Cu-based oxygen carrier were investigated by using an X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and surface analyzer. Multiple TG results show that the weight loss was 3.4%, indicating that the loading CuO amount was 17%. Moreover, the weight loss and weight gain was equal during 73 redox cycles, suggesting the good thermal stability of the oxygen carrier. The conversion rate of reduction and oxidation for each redox cycle remained constant even after 73 redox cycles. XRD results show the new phase formation of CuAl₂O₄ during redox cycles, which promotes the thermal stabilization of the oxygen carrier. The surface area of the oxygen carrier decreased from 105 to 13?m^2?g^?1 after 73 redox cycles and the particle size distribution shifted from 5?C15?nm to 15?C30?nm, suggesting that the micorpores were blocked or collapsed. However, the reactivity of the oxygen carrier didn??t decrease. SEM results show that CuO was evenly distributed on the surface of Al₂O₃ after 73 redox cycles. Overall, these results suggested that the Cu-based oxygen carrier was ready for fluidized bed tests.

Mechanism of Thermal Degradation of an Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Based on an Epoxy-POSS

A novel inorganic-organic hybrid material, belonging to the family of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS), was used to reduce the trend of a conventional epoxy-amine system to undergo combustion. The mixtures with different percentages in weight of POSS, and equal number of equivalents between of epoxy and amino groups were tested by thermogravimetic analysis (TGA) in both, argon and oxygen atmospheres. The results indicated that the char/ceramic yield values increase with the content of POSS and therefore, fire resistance is enhanced. Activation energies of degradation processes were obtained by Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose method. An empirical kinetic model satisfactorily explained the degradation mechanism of different blends.

Biodegradation behavior of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), and their blend under soil conditions

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) were mixed at a ratio of 40:60, extruded to form granules and cast into film; then, the PLA, PBAT, and PBAT/PLA film samples were buried in real soil environments. The residual degraded samples were taken regularly from the soil and analyzed by SEM, DSC, TGA, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The analyses showed that PBAT and PLA had different biodegradation mechanisms. Further, the melting temperature and the melting point change of the various components in the PBAT/PLA blend before and after the biodegradation essentially followed the process of the changes in the respective single polymers. After biodegradation, the carbon atom content in the molecular structure of the PBAT, PLA, and PBAT/PLA samples decreased, while the oxygen atom content increased, indicating that the samples indeed degraded. The biodegradation rates of PBAT and PLA in the PBAT/PLA blend were not the same as those for the single materials.     

Lanthanum-promoted copper-based oxygen carriers for chemical looping combustion process

Copper-based oxygen carriers have high reactivity and favorable thermodynamic properties in the innovative chemical looping combustion (CLC), which results in the inherent capture of CO₂. The major challenge of copper-based oxygen carriers is its low melting point and potential thermal sintering and agglomeration under high-temperature cyclic CLC operations. This study is to verify the beneficial use of a rare earth metal (lanthanum) additive in copper for the enhancements of thermal stability of copper-based oxygen carriers. In both the initial 50-cycle tests using TPR-TPO techniques (temperature-programmed reduction and oxidation, 800 °C) and further extended 840-cycle tests using the micro-reactor system, in over 50 cyclic Redox TPR-TPO tests, the lanthanum-promoted copper-based oxygen carrier showed the substantial resistance to the agglomeration. Thermal analysis studies were also extended into investigations of free oxygen releasing from copper-based oxygen carrier. Characterization of used oxygen carriers revealed the significant interaction between copper and its supporting material, Al₂O₃. The Al₂O₃-supported CuO seemed to indicate a slow release of oxygen. The formation of a new crystal phase (CuAl₂O₄), combining CuO and γ-Al₂O₃, may be a major reason for the stability of copper-based oxygen carrier and the slow oxygen release under oxygen uncoupling condition. The fresh and used oxygen carriers were further characterized by (1) Brunauer–Emmett–Teller for the pore structure analysis, (2) X-ray diffraction for crystal structure analysis, and (3) scanning electron microscopy for surface analysis.     

Epoxidation of styrene–butadiene–styrene block copolymer and use for gas permeation

The epoxidation of styrene–butadiene–styrene triblock copolymer (SBS) by an in situ generated peracid method is discussed. The presence of an acid acting as catalyst led to side reaction. The reactivities of internal double bonds (the 1, 4-structure) were higher than those of the vinyl bonds (the 1, 2-structure). In the 1, 4-structure, the reactivities of cis-structure were higher than those of trans-structure. The oxirane weight content and total oxygen weight content were determined by titration and element analysis, respectively. The cohesive energy, solubility parameter, and the glass transition temperature of epoxidized SBS increased with increasing total oxygen weight content. But the molecular weight between crosslinking points decreased resulting in an increase of crosslinking density with increasing total oxygen weight content. The changes of properties of epoxidized SBS reduced the gas permeability of oxygen and nitrogen through epoxidized SBS membrane, but increased the gas selectivity between oxygen and nitrogen. When the operating temperature of gas permeation was increased, the permeability of oxygen and nitrogen increased but the selectivity decreased. For epoxidized SBS containing 7.35 wt % oxygen content, the activation energy was 9 and 12.2 kcal/mol for oxygen and nitrogen, respectively.     

ANALYSIS OF BRANCHING DISTRIBUTION IN POLYETHYLENES BY DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY

Short chain branching has been characterized using thermal fractionation, a stepwise isothermal crystallizationtechnique, followed by a melting analysis scan using differential scanning calorimetry. Short chain branching distributionwas also characterized by a continuous slow cooling crystallization, followed by a melting analysis scan. Four differentpolyethylenes were studied: Ziegler-Natta gas phase, Ziegler-Natta solution, metallocene, constrained-geometry single sitecatalyzed polyethylenes. The branching distribution was calculated from a calibration of branch content with meltingtemperature. The lamellar thickness was calculated based on the thermodynamic melting temperature of each polyethyleneand the surface free energy of the crystal face. The branching distribution and lamellar thickness distribution were used tocalculate weight average branch content, mean lamellar thickness, and a branch dispersity index. The results for the branchcontent were in good agreement with the known comonomer content of the polyethylenes. A limitation was that high branchcontent polyethylenes did not reach their potential crystallization at ambient temperatures. Cooling to sub-ambient wasnecessary to equilibrate the crystallization, but melting temperature versus branch content was not applicable after cooling tobelow ambient because the calibration data were not performed in this way.

Oxygen solid electrolyte coulometry (OSEC)

The development and utilization of solid electrolyte-based coulometric techniques for the investigation of different oxygen exchange processes of solids or liquids, oxygen or hydrogen permeability through membranes, and generation of gas flows with well-defined oxygen concentration is briefly reviewed. The method based on Faraday’s law may be used alternatively or additionally to thermogravimetry, gas chromatography, chemical analysis, spectroscopy, and X-ray or neutron diffractometry in a wide oxygen partial pressure region (10^?20 to 10⁵?Pa) unaffected by temperature. The detection limit of exchanged oxygen is determined by a current- and voltage-measuring technique and is now not lower than 50?ng for devices operating in carrier gas mode.
