Numerical solution of direct kinetic problems

An algorithm is proposed to construct the righthand sides and the Jacobian matrix for a set of differential equations and a heat balance equation in terms of a given kinetic mechanism of a chemical reaction in a non-isothermal, constant-volume reactor. Its application is illustrated by the calculation of the dependence of the carbon monoxide explosion limit on the concentration of hydrogen added.

Thermal characterization of bismaleimide blends

4,4-bismaleimidophenyl methane (BM) and 3,3-bismaleimidophenyl sulfone (BS) were blended in solution using weight ratios 31 (MS31), 21 (MS21), 11 (MS11), 12 (MS12) and 13 (MS13). Chain extended bismaleimide resins were also prepared by treating BS/BM with 4,4-diaminodiphenyl ether in molar ratios of 10.3 (BM-E and BS-E resins). These resins were also blended with bismaleimides and the curing characteristics were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry. Increase in BM content in BMBS blends or increase in chain extended bismaleimide content in BM-EBS or BS-E BM blends resulted in a reduction of melting and curing temperatures. Indication about the extent of cross-linking was obtained from solubility measurements (in DMF) of isothermally cured resins (180 °C, lh and 220 °C, lh in an air oven). Thermogravimetric analysis of samples isothermally cured at 180 °C and 220 °C (lh each) was carried out in nitrogen atmosphere. Improvement in thermal stability of chain extended bismaleimides was observed on blending.

Zusammenfassung 4,4-Bismalimidophenyl-methan (BM) und 3,3-Bismalimidophenyl-sulfon (BS) wurden in Lösung in den Gewichtsverhältnissen 31 (MS31), 21 (MS21), 11 (MS11), 12 (MS12) und 13 (MS13) gemischt. Auch kettenpolymerisierten Bismalimid-Harze wurden durch Behandlung von BS/BM mit Diaminodiphenylether im Molverhältnis 10,3 dargestellt (BM-E- und BS-E-Harze). Die Kennwerte der Aushärtung von Mischungen dieser Harze mit den Bismalimiden wurden mittels DSC ermittelt. Eine Erhöhung des BM-Gehaltes in den BM BS-Mischungen oder des Gehaltes der BM-E BS oder BS-E-Mischungen an kettenpolymerisierten Bismalimiden führt zu einer Erniedrigung der Schmelz- und Aushärtetemperaturen. Hinweise über den Vernetzungsgrad wurden aus Löslichkeitsmessungen (in DMF) von Isotherm (je 1 Stunde bei 180 und 220 °C in Luft) gehärteten Harzen erhalten. Die thermogravimetrische Analyse der Isotherm bei 180 bzw. 220 °C 1 Stunde ausgehärteten Proben wurde in Stickstoffatmosphäre ausgeführt. Die thermische Stabilität der Bismalimide wird durch Verschneiden verbessert.

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.

Quantitative determination by differential thermal analysis of the heat liberated in the thermoluminescence of natural calcite

The paper presents results of the experimental determination of the quantity of heat liberated during the thermoluminesence (TL) of natural calcite.As the method for experimental investigation, quantitative differential thermal analysis was used, in which the reference was natural calcite which had previously been thermally treated at 623 K for 60 min to eliminate the TL effect.It was established that during the TL of natural calcite 7.11 J/g is liberated, which is in accordance with results obtained by estimating possible values of the concentration of charge carriers at trapping centers and the energy liberated by elementary recombination process.

Effect of the network structure on the flammability ofcis-1,4-polyisoprene vulcanizates

The combustibilities ofcis-1,4-polyisoprene and its peroxide and sulphur vulcanizates have been investigated by means of the oxygen index method. The temperature distribution in the sample and the molecular weight of the liquid products formed as a result of elastomer destruction in the combustion zone have been measured. It has been found that the combustibility ofcis- 1,4-polyisoprene diminishes as its cross-link density increases. This effect is much stronger for sulphur than for peroxide vulcanizates. The investigations lead to the conclusion that a mechanism of network degradation and volatile sulphur compounds penetrating to the flame are responsible for this difference.

Zusammenfassung Die Brennbarkeit des unvernetztencis-1,4-Polyisoprens und seiner Peroxid- und Schwefelvulkanisate wurde mit der Sauerstoffindexmethode untersucht. Messungen der Temperaturverteilung im Prüfling wurden ebenfalls ausgeführt und das Molekulargewicht der infolge der Zersetzung der Elastomere in der Verbrennungszone entstehenden flüssigen Produkte mit der Methode der dynamischen Osmometrie bestimmt. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Brennbarkeit des cis-1,4-Polyisoprens mit zunehmender Vernetzungsdichte abnimmt, und zwar viel ausgeprägter im Falle der Schwefel- als im Falle der Peroxidvulkanisate. Es wurde gefolgert, daß flüchtige, in die Flamme gelangende Schwefelverbindungen als Verbrennungsinhibitoren wirken.

Das System KNbO3-Nb2O5

Zusammenfassung Das System KNbO₃–Nb₂O₅ wurde mit thermoanalytischen, dilatometrischen und röntgenographischen Methoden neu untersucht. Acht ternäre Verbindungen werden im Bereich von 0–50 Mol-% K₂O gefunden. Nur K₄Nb₆O₁₇ schmilzt kongruent, alle anderen zersetzen sich peritektisch. Bei den beiden niobreichaten ternären Verbindungen handelt es sich um Hochtemperaturphasen, die sich erst oberhalb 1273 bzw. 1551 K bilden. Drei der acht Verbindungen wandeln sich mit steigender Temperatur in ihre Hochtemperaturmodifikation um.

Effect of carbon support on the hydrogen sorption of platinum

The hydrogen sorption of carbon-supported platinum catalysts, studied by the potentiodynamic method, differs significantly from that of unsupported platinum. The difference depends on the preparation method and on the nature of the support. Possible explanations are suggested as (i) some kind of interaction between metal and support atoms during impregnation, (ii) high dispersity (amorphous structure) and (iii) hydrogen spillover onto the carbon support.

Influence of reoxidation temperature on TPR of zirconia supported rhodium

Based on TPR investigations of oxidized 5 % Rh/ZrO₂ catalyst a substantial effect of rhodium both on increase in degree of surface reduction of the support and lowering of reduction temperature range as compared to the support alone was observed. With growing reoxidation temperature, a gradual increase in degree of oxidation of rhodium takes place until Rh₂O₃ is formed at temperature about 770 K. Simultaneously, the support surface is gradually reoxidized until a prilmary state is reporduced at 720–779 K.

On the relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations IX

The Stoichiometry and the kinetics of thermal decomposition of the title compounds were studied. The results were correlated with the structures of the Cu(II) coordination polyhedra, which have in general a 4+2 type of coordination. It was shown that the equatorial Cu-H₂O bond distances are important for the found decomposition stoichiometries. As an intermediate of thermal decomposition, Cu(H₂O)₅(CH₃C₆H₄SO₃)₂ was prepared and characterized via its IR and electronic spectra and powder X-ray diffractogram. The experimental activation energies increase with increasing degree of tetragonality of the Cu(II) coordination polyhedron forX ^–=C₆H₅SO₃ and D-C₁₀ H ₁₅OSO₃, but decrease forX ^–=4-CH₃C₆H₄SO₃. TheE ^* value found for the decomposition of the latter compound can not be attributed to the chemical reaction.

Thermochemistry of hydrated rare earth orthophosphates

The hydrated rare earth orthophosphates LnPO₄ ·xH₂O (Ln=La-Dy) contain zeolitic water in the structural channels, which is released reversibly up to 300°. The thermal stabilities of the hydrates depend upon the nature of the Ln atom. The dehydration temperature decreases with decreasing ionic radiusr of Ln³⁺, according to the general equation=(r–a)/b (where is the DSC and/or DTG dehydration peak temperature, anda andb are empirical constants depending on the experimental conditions).The contracting-area rate equation was valid for linearization of the isothermal vs. time plots in the range 0; 0.65. Kinetic values ofE, A, H ⁺ and S⁺ were calculated and the kinetic stabilities of the hydrates are discussed.
