Thermoanalytical Study of the Composition of β-tungsten

The aim of the present work was to provide arguments to the almost ‘hystorical’ problem of what β-tungsten is. WO₃was reduced in dry H₂gas atmosphere in order to examine, whether β-tungsten formed in such a way contains oxygen as part of the lattice described as W_xO (e.g. W₂₀O) or is a pure metallic phase of tungsten. As a result of thermoanalytical measurements and of chemical analysis for oxygen, the assumption is supported that in the 600-800°C temperature range of metal formation not the W_xO (β-W)→W(α-W) transformation but the β-W→α-W structural rearrangement of materials with identical chemical composition is the most probable process. The earlier opinion that the formation of the β-W structure requires the presence of oxygen atoms was not verified by our results. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermal behavior of double salt schoenite

The thermal behavior of synthetic schoenite (K₂SO₄·MgSO₄·6H₂)) during heating has been studied by thermal methods. The temperatures of dehydration and decomposition of schoenite have also been determined by DTA, TG and DSC. The thermal reaction equations and the X-ray power diffraction results of the products have been given and the corresponding kinetic parameters have also been obtained.     

Study of the drying zirconia gel-precipitates using thermal analysis

Thermoanalytical techniques (TG, DTG, DTA and EGA) can be helpful in studying gel compositions and relating the chemical history and the role of the precipitant to the chemical properties of gels. The objective of our work was to determine the influence of the initial conditions in the reaction mixture on the product characteristics. Zirconia gels were prepared by the gelprecipitation method by the hydrolysis of zirconium tetrachloride dissolved in methanol. The substitution of water by methanol was chosen in order to obtain a reaction medium in which better control of the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of the zirconium precursor were achieved and thus also better control of the final properties of the dried zirconia gel-precipitates could be obtained. The nature of the hydrated zirconia gels obtained during the gelation process is strongly influenced by the conditions of the reaction mixture, e.g. concentration of the zirconium precursor, the mixing rate and particularly by the amount of water added. To distinguish between various types of water in the gel-precipitates, the furnace atmosphere and the partial water pressure were altered appropriately. It was shown that initial zirconium to water molar ratio has a significant effect on the properties of the final products. It was assumed that, according to the preparation conditions, three different types of water are present in the formed zirconia gel-precipitates. Modification of the dehydration processes of zirconia gel-precipitates enables control of the final microstructural and surface properties of the dried gels which are suitable for further catalysts support as well as mixed oxide preparation.

Interaction of host-guest complexes of cucurbit[<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>] urils with double probe guests

Three guests with two moiety probes for different Cucurbit[n = 6-8]urils have been synthesized. They are N-(2-methylenethiophen)-adamataneamine, N-(2-methylene pyrrole)-adamataneamine and N-(2-methylenefurfuran)-adamataneamine. The probes are methyle-nepyridyl typically for Q[6] and adamataneamine typically for Q[7]. The host-guest complexes of Cucurbit[n = 6-8]urils with these guests have been investigated by using NMR techniques and ESMS method. Also, thermoanalysis has been used for exploring relationship of enthalpy and stability of the host-guest complexes.     

Thermal degradation of environmentally degradable poly(hydroxyalkanoic acid)s

Aliphatic polyesters have attracted industrial attention as environmentally degradable thermoplastics to be used for a wide range of applications. Besides intensive studies on the biodegradability of aliphatic polyesters, understanding of the thermal stability has importance for processing, application, and recycling. The details of thermal degradation processes of five types of aliphatic polyesters; namely, poly(L-lactide), poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid), poly(4-hydroxybutyric acid), poly(delta-valerolactone), and poly(epsilon-caprolactone), were investigated by means of several thermoanalytical techniques under both isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. In this feature article, the thermal degradation behaviors of aliphatic polyesters with different numbers of carbon atoms in the main chain of the monomeric unit are reviewed. In addition, the effects of chain-end structure and residual metal compounds on the thermal degradation processes of aliphatic polyesters consisting of hydroxyalkanoic acid monomeric units are presented.

氧钒(Ⅳ)碱式碳酸铵的热分析和纳米氧化钒的制备

The violet polycrystalline (NH₄)₅[(VO)₆(CO₃)₄(OH)₉]·10H₂O(NVCO) was simply synthesized by solution reaction using V₂O₅, HCl, N₂H₄·2HCl and NH₄HCO₃ as the starting materials. The results of TGA and DTA of NVCO under H₂(99.999%) atmosphere show that V₂O₃ forms at 620℃. The data of TG/DTG and DTA of NVCO under N₂(99.999%) atmosphere indicate that VO₂ forms at 367℃ and crystallizes at 390℃. In air atmosphere, the TG/DTG and DTA of NVCO show that V₂O₅ forms at 354℃, crystallizes at 366℃ and melts at 664℃. The three thermolysis processes of NVCO show that a large amount of H₂O, CO₂ and NH₃ gases fast releases during the thermolysis of NVCO, causing that the particles of the materials split and atomize strongly, thus to obtain V₂O₃, VO₂ and V₂O₅ nano-powders finally. According to the above of thermoanalytical results, V₂O₃, VO₂ and V₂O₅ powders were prepared respectively under H₂, N₂ and oxygen in a tube furnace. Chemical analysis and XRD ex-periments of the powders identify that pure V₂O₃ is obtained at 800℃ for 0.5h under H₂ atmosphere; crystalline VO₂ is obtained at 480℃ for 0.5h in N₂; amorphous VO₂ is obtained at 350℃ for 20min under N₂ atmosphere, this has been first reported to prepare amorphous VO₂ powder so far; pure V₂O₅ is obtained at 400℃ for 10min under oxygen. From the micrographs of the powders, the particle size of the V₂O₃, the crystalline VO₂ or the V₂O₅ powders is 35nm, 24nm or < 40nm, respectively. Above-mentioned results prove that NVCO is a good precursor for preparation of pure V₂O₃, VO₂ and V₂O₅ nano-powders under mild conditions.
