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.

Mechanism of o-xylene conversion on magnesium modifications of Y zeolite

o-Xylene conversions has been investigated in the presence of MgNaY zeolites with different Si/Al ratios and degrees of exchange. Disproportionation proceeds to a higher degree than does isomerization. The distribution of reaction products is attributed to geometric factors. The results are in agreement with a monomolecular mechanism of isomerization.

Comparative thermal analysis of commercial and low-grade bauxites

This paper presents qualitative and quantitative comparative results on the simultaneous TG-DTG DTA of five commercial and low-grade bauxites. The methodology of qualitative determination of the basic mineral forms contained in bauxites is currently being established. The weight losses relating to the steps in the TG curve allow determination of the contents of the basic minerals in bauxite. These are recalculated as percentages of Al₂O₃, SiO₂, CaO moisture and total volatiles. The final results are in accordance with the results of classical chemical analyses, and this jusitifies the use of this technique as a quick method for qualitative and quantitative determinations of both commercial and low-grade bauxites.

Zusammenfassung Qualitative und quantitative Ergebnisse vergleichender simultaner TG-DTG-DTA-Untersuchungen an 5 kommerziellen und geringwertigen Bauxiten werden vorgestellt. Die Methodologie der qualitativen Bestimmung der wichtigsten im Bauxit enthaltenen Minerale wird ausgearbeitet. Die Gewichtsverluste bei den entsprechenden TG-Stufen erlauben die Berechnung der Gehalte an den wichtigsten Mineralen. Diese werden umgerechnet in die Anteile an Al₂O₃, SiO⁰², CaO, Feuchtigkeit und Glühverlust. Letztere Resultate stimmen mit denen klassisch-chemischer Analyse überein. Das erlaubt die Anwendung thermoanalytischer Methoden als Schnellverfahren für qualitative und quantitative Bestimmungen in kommerziellen und geringwertigen Bauxiten.

Effect of acid treatment on the properties of an activated carbon

The enhancement of the activity of a carbon treated with HF is due to the drastic diminution of its inorganic impurities, which produces an increase of the surface area of the carbon, a stronger Pt-C interaction and a higher Pt dispersity.

The economical parameter survey program for long-term transient temperature distribution and stress analysis around the sodium level of the liquid metal fast breeder reactor

The thermal stress around the sodium level of the LMFBR reactor vessel, caused by the axial temperature distribution during heat-up and cool-down transient conditions, is one of the most important problems for a reactor vessel designer, especially in a conceptual design stage. Key parameters relating to plant operating transient conditions and reactor vessel main configuration should be settled carefully, thermal stresses not being allowed to exceed design stress limits. In order to examine the sodium level thermal stress easily and economically, a simple computer program for parameter survey has been developed. This program uses a one-dimensional Fourier series solution in transient temperature distribution analysis, and an analytical stress solution based on shell theory in stress value estimation. This paper presents a simplified and economical calculation method for the axial temperature distribution and stress value in the LMFBR operating transient conditions, and analysis examples obtained with this computer program.

Zusammenfassung Der durch die axiale Temperaturverteilung während der Übergangsphase von Aufheizen und Abkühlen verursachte thermische Streß rund um den Natriumfüllstand des LMFBR-Reaktorkessels ist für den Reaktorkesselkonstrukteur, besonders im Entwurfstadiuni eines der wichtigsten Probleme. Die mit den transienten Operationsbedingungen der Anlage und der Gestaltung des Reaktorkessels in Beziehung stehenden Grundparameter müssen sorgfältig ermittelt werden, um zu verhindern, daß der thermische Streß die geplanten Streßgrenzen nicht überschreitet. Um den thermischen Streß um den Natriumfüllstand, leicht und ökonomisch zu bestimmen, wurde ein Komputerprogramm für die Parameterübersicht aufgestellt. In diesem Programm wird von einer eindimensionalen Fourrierreihe zur Analyse der transienten Temperaturverteilung und einer auf der Schalentheorie von Streßwertbestimmungen basierende analytische Lösung Gebrauch gemacht. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden eine vereinfachte und wirtschaftliche Berechnungsmethode für die axiale Temperaturverteilung und Streßwerte bei transienten Arbeitsbedingungen mitgeteilt und mit diesem Komputerprogramm ausgeführte Analysenbeispiele angegeben.

Kinetic applications of thermal analysis

A study was undertaken to compare two computational methods of estimating kinetic parameters from thermoanalytical experiments. Examples illustrating the relationship between reaction complexity and validity of isothermalvs. non-isothermal kinetic analyses will be presented. Thermal decomposition of several compounds was studied both by isothermal and dynamic thermogravimetry (TG). For the isothermal runs, reaction order and activation energy were estimated using established methods. For the dynamic runs, the statistical method of nonlinear least squares was used to estimate all three kinetic parameters of the nth order decomposition reaction and their individual 95% confidence intervals. Both methods assumed Arrhenius temperature dependence.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde eine Untersuchung zum Vergleich von zwei Methoden zur Berechnung von kinetischen Parametern aus Ergebnissen thermoanalytischer Experimente unternommen. Beispiele werden angegeben, die die Beziehung zwischen isothermer und nichtisothermer kinetischer Analyse in Bezug auf Komplexizität der Reaktion und Gültigkeit illustrieren. Die thermische Zersetzung verschiedener Verbindungen wurde mittels isothermer und dynamischer Thermogravimetrie (TG) untersucht. Aus den isothermen Versuchsergebnissen wurden die Reaktionsordnung und Aktivierungsenergie nach den üblichen Methoden bestimmt. Aus den dynamischen Versuchsdaten wurden alle drei kinetischen Parameter der Reaktion n-ter Ordnung und deren individuelle 95%-Konfidenzintervalle nach der Methode der kleinsten Fehlerquadrate ermittelt. Beide Methoden setzen eine Temperaturabhängigkeit entsprechend der Arrhenius-Gleichung voraus.

Measurement of adsorption heats of nitrogen on metal nitrides

Adsorption heats q and activation energies of the nitrogen exchange on several metal nitrides have been compared. For the systems capable of changing readily their composition upon varying conditions, the isotope exchange is suggested to be the most reliable method of the determination of q.

Effect of oxygen on reduction of NO with carbon monoxide over NiO and Cr2O3

Cr₂O₃ is found to be a less active catalyst than NiO in reduction of nitrogen oxides. Introduction of molecular oxygen into the NO–CO mixture decreases the conversion of NO_x on both catalysts. On NiO it is due to competition between O₂ and nitrogen oxides for CO. On Cr₂O₃ it is caused by the complete suppression of this reaction.

On the structure and activity of a Pt/C catalyst subjected to repeated deactivation and regeneration cycles

Electron microscopic studies reveal that repeated air/hydrogen regeneration cycles cause irreversible structural changes of a Pt/C catalyst involving sintering and migration of the platinum over the support. This is reflected by a serious decrease of the catalytic activity. With hydrogen treatment only, these effects are less significant.

Thermal behaviour of rigid polyurethane foams

By means of a combined thermal analysis technique, the thermal behaviour of rigid polyurethane foams containing additive antipyrenes was studied. The presence of phosphorus- and phosphorus/chlorine-containing antipyrenes based on phosphate and phosphonate and a combination of them led to decreases in the rates of heat and weight loss during heating. More steps of decomposition were formed and the interval of decomposition was widened and shifted to higher temperatures. Some thermal characteristics make it possible to predict the optimum antipyrene compositions and concentrations with minimum time, labour and material consumption under laboratory conditions.

Zusammenfassung Mittels einer kombinierten Technik wurde das thermische Verhalten eines starren, Antipyrene als Additiv enthaltenden Polyurethanschaumes untersucht. Phosphor und Phosphor/Chlor enthaltende Antipyrene auf Phosphat- und Phosphonatbasis und eine Kombination dieser Substanzen vermindern die Geschwindigkeit der Wärmeentwicklung und des Gewichtsverlustes während des Aufheizvorganges. Es treten mehr Zersetzungsschritte auf und das Temperaturintervall der Zersetzung ist größer und nach höheren Temperaturen hin verschoben. Einige thermische Kennwerte ermöglichen die Voraussage der optimalen Zusammensetzung und Konzentration des Antipyren-Additivs für minimalen Zeit-, Arbeits- und Materialaufwand unter Laboratoriumsbedingungen.
