Thermal decomposition of ammonium permanganate

The parent material, ammonium permanganate, was carefully decomposed in air at 120°. The product, referred to as the starting material (SM), was then subjected to thermal treatment in air for 5 hr in the temperature range 150–1200°. Chemical analysis of SM indicated that the main decomposition product of NH₄MnO₄ was Mn₂O₃, together with MnO₂, NH₄NO₃, H₂O and O₂. Mn₃O₄ started to form at 900°. The infrared spectra of various calcination products revealed the retention of NH ₄ ⁺ in the lattice structure up to 300°, and reflected the presence of excess oxygen as coordinated O ₂ ^– . The TG, DTA and IRA results on SM supported the chemical analysis data. X-ray analysis was carried out for phase identification and to follow transformations and the formation of a solid solution between MnO₂ and Mn₂O₃.

Zusammenfassung Die Muttersubstanz, Aramoniumpermanganat, wurde in Luft bei 120° vorsichtig zersetzt. Das dabei erhaltene Ausgangsmaterial (SM) wurde danach in Luft 5 Stunden im Temperaturbereich von 150–1200° thermisch behandelt. Die chemische Analyse von SM ergab, daß als Hauptprodukt der Zersetzung von NH₄MnO₄, Mn₂O₃ auftritt neben MnO₂, NH₄NO₃, H₂O und O₂. Die Bildung von Mn₃O₄ beginnt bei 900°. Aus Infrarotspektren verschiedener Kalzinierungsprodukte ist ersichtlich, daß in der Gitterstruktur NH ₄ ⁺ bis 300° zurückgehalten wird und überschüssiger Sauerstoff in Form von koordiniertem O₂ vorliegt. Die Ergebnisse der TG-, DTA- und IRA-Untersuchungen von SM bestätigen Daten der chemischen Analyse. Mittels Röntgenanalyse wurden die Phasen identifiziert und der Verlauf der Phasenübergänge und der Bildung einer festen Lösung zwischen MnO₂ und Mn₂O₃ verfolgt.

Possibilities of applying the Piloyan method of determination of decomposition activation energies in the differential thermal analysis of polynitroaromatic compounds and their derivatives

The Piloyan activation energiesE, as well as the initial exotherm temperaturesT _D, are determined for sixN-monoalkyl- and fiveN,N-dialkyl-2,4,6-trinitroanilines. By comparison withR _f-factors, orR _M-functions of paper chromatography, the molecular-structural dependences ofE andT _D are studied for these compounds. Relationships are also found between the termE · T _D ^–1 and theR _M-functions. The effects are discussed of the introduction of the 6-nitro group into the TV-substituted 2,4-dinitroanilines, and of the introduction of the 4-nitro group into the 2,6-dinitro analogues, upon the thermal stabilities of the resulting 2,4,6-trinitroanilines.

Thermal decomposition of homo- and copolymers of isobutylene

The thermal properties of polyisobutylene and isobutylene-isoprene copolymers were studied. Thermal curves were interpreted with regard to supplementary data. It was found that the degradation of both homo- and copolymers proceeds to a much higher extent in air than in argon. It follows from the results that peroxide formation plays a significant role in the degradation of this group of polymers.This finding correlates well with the influence of dicumyl peroxide and phenyl--naphthylamine on the thermal properties of the isobutylene polymers investigated in this work.

Zusammenfassung Die thermischen Eigenschaften von Polyisobutylen- und Isobutylen-Isopren-Kopolymeren wurden untersucht. Die thermischen Kurven wurden unter Berücksichtigung ergänzender Angaben gedeutet. Es wurde festgestellt, dass die Zersetzung sowohl von Homoals auch von Kopolymeren in Luft in einem viel grösseren Ausmass verläuft, als in Argon. Aus den Ergebnissen folgt, dass die Peroxidbildung bei der Zersetzung dieser Gruppe von Polymeren eine bedeutende Rolle spielt.Diese Aussage ist in guter Übereinstimmung mit dem Einfluss von Dicumylperoxid und Phenyl- naphthylamin auf die thermischen Eigenschaften der untersuchten Isobutylenpolymere.

Résumé On a étudié les propriétés thermiques des copolymères polyisobutylène et isobutylèneisoprène. On a interprété les courbes thermiques en considérant des données supplémentaires. On a établi que la dégradation tant des homoque des copolymères s'effectue d'une manière beaucoup plus importante dans l'air que dans l'argon. Nos résultats montrent que la formation du peroxyde joue un rôle important sur la dégradation de ce groupe de polymères.Cette conclusion est en bon accord avec l'influence du peroxyde de dicumyle et de la phényl-naphtylamine sur les propriétés thermiques des polymères d'isobutylène étudiés dans notre travail.

Preparation and Characterization of Thin Optically Transparent Alumina and Ce-doped Alumina

Transparent and porous boehmite, -Al₂O₃ (500°C) and -Al₂O₃ (900° and 1000°C) thin sheets (50–100 m) have been prepared from boehmite sols. -Al₂O₃ shows about 48% porosity and 292 m²/g surface area. On transformation from -Al₂O₃ (500°C) to -Al₂O₃ (900°C), the porosity still remains high, i.e. 45%; however, the surface area becomes 138 m²/g. The porosity and surface area of -Al₂O₃ become about 41% and 97 m²/g respectively on further heating to 1000°C. A gradual increase of average pore radius during this thermal treatment suggests that coarsening of the pore occurred during the densification process. Both -Al₂O₃ and -Al₂O₃ show high degree of transmission from UV to NIR wavelength region. Cerium exists in +4 oxidation state in the boehmite as well as in the - and -Al₂O₃. The ultraviolet absorption edge of the alumina was tailored by varying the concentration of cerium.     

Acid-base properties of supported vanadium oxide catalyst

Reduction of V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ and V₂O₅/silica-alumina produced Lewis acid sites which could strongly adsorb CO (heat of adsorption: 90 kJ/mol). Such strong acid sites were not formed in the cases of V₂O₅/SiO₂ and V₂O₅/MgO. V₂O₅ loaded on Al₂O₃ interacted with the basic sites of alumina but not with the acidic sites, while the V₂O₅ on silica-alumina interacted with the acidic sites of the silica-alumina and decreased its acidity.

Study of the polymerization of some methacrylic acid esters by differential scanning calorimetry

The strengths of the gel effect, and the monomer conversions at which the gel effect sets in for the polymerizations of some methacrylic acid esters, were determined at different temperatures from the courses of polymerization measured by differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that the strength of the gel effect is greatly influenced by the reaction temperature and the ester residue in the molecule of the monomer, whereas the critical conversion for individual monomers is practically independent of the reaction temperature in the measured interval, but is strongly dependent on the length of the ester residue.

Zusammenfassung Die Stärke des Geleffektes und die Monomerkonversion, bei der der Geleffekt bei der Polymerisation einiger Methacrylsäureester einsetzt, werden aus dem Verlauf der Polymerisation in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur mittels DSC gemessen. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Stärke des Geleffekts stark von der Temperatur und dem Esterrest im Molekül des Monomeren beeinflußt wird, während die kritische Konversion individueller Monomere praktisch unabhängig von der Temperatur im untersuchten Bereich ist, jedoch im starken Maße von der Länge des Esterrestes abhängt.

Ab initio investigation of the electron structure in bis-Cu+ acetylene and vinylidene complexes

[Cu(-C₂H₂)₂]⁺, [Cu(-CCH₂)₂]⁺ and [Cu(-C₂H₂) (-CCH₂]⁺ complexes have been studied by the ab initio double-zeta basis set method. It has been established that all calculated compounds are stable to decomposition into two C₂H₂ molecules and Cu⁺ cation and into one C₂H₂ molecules and the respective monocomplex. Calculation results suggest the possibility of intramolecular acetylene-vinylidene rearrangement in the coordination sphere of Cu⁺.

Kinetics of thermal decomposition of diacyl peroxides in the presence of aerosil

In the presence of aerosil the thermal decomposition of the polymeric peroxide of sebacic acid is enhanced proportionally to the filler weight fraction in the reaction system. This is attributed to the interaction of peroxide groups with acidic groups on the aerosil surface and their decomposition according to a nonradical mechanism unlike the homolytic radical decomposition in solution.

Hexadiene formation during decomposition of 2-propanol over Ca?P?O catalysts

Hexadiene formation from 2-propanol was investigated in view of acid-base properties of Ca–P–O catalysts with the Ca/P atomic ratio varying from 1.5 to 5.0. The catalytic activity in hexadiene formation increased up to a maximum at Ca/P=2.0, having almost the same amount of weak acidic sites as weak basic sites, and decreased with futher increase in Ca/P ratio.

Photoluminescence Spectra and Crystallization of θ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3 from AlOOH-Fe(NO3)3 Gels

Diphasic boehmite derived unseeded and seeded (by either -Al₂O₃, -Fe₂O₃, or Fe(NO₃)₃) alumina gel planar monoliths were examined by DTA, XRD and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Luminescence spectra enable sensitive monitoring of the - and -Al₂O₃ crystallization in heat-treated gels due to Cr³⁺ impurity traces. Fe(NO₃)₃ unlike other seeds effectively influences crystallization of both - and -Al₂O₃. The present results are interpreted as prevailing solution or Fe³⁺ ion effect on the crystallization process.
