The possibility of a simple transformation of thermogravimetric curves

A simple method is suggested for the Arrhenius-like representation of the thermal decomposition of a wide variety of materials. It consists in the transformation of the TG and the corresponding DTG curves, obtained as a single measurement by a derivative thermobalance. The method consists mainly in the division of the momentary DTG ordinates by the corresponding momentary TG values, the transformation of this value into logarithmic form, and the plotting of the logarithmic expression as a 1/T function. In many cases a straight line results testifying to a first-order reaction or a tolerable approximation of it.

Zusammenfassung Eine einfache Methode zur Arrheniusanalogen Darstellung der thermischen Zersetzung vieler Arten von Substanzen wird vorgeschlagen. Sie besteht in der Transformierung der TG- und der entsprechenden DTG-Kurven, welche mit Hilfe einer derivierenden Thermowaage durch eine einzige Messung erhalten worden sind. Die Methode besteht hauptsächlich in der Teilung der bestehenden DTG-Ordinaten durch die entsprechenden TG-Werte, dann in der Transformierung dieses Symbols in die logarithmische Form und schließlich in der Darstellung dieses logarithmischen Ausdruckes als Funktion von 1/T, wobei in vielen Fällen eine Gerade oder eine annehmbare Näherung einer Geraden erhalten wird, die für eine Reaktion erster Ordnung spricht.

Résumé On propose une méthode simple pour représenter la décomposition thermique d'un grand nombre de substances par une loi analogue à celle d'Arrhenius. La méthode consiste à transformer les courbes TG et TGD obtenues par une mesure unique à l'aide d'une thermobalance comportant un dispositif de dérivation. En premier lieu, on divise les ordonnées de la courbe TGD par les valeurs TG correspondantes puis on exprime ce symbole sous forme logarithmique et finalement on représente cette expression logarithmique en fonction de 1/T, ce qui donne dans de nombreux cas une droite et prouve ainsi qu'il s'agit d'une réaction du premier ordre ou d'une approximation qui peut Être tolérée comme telle.

Behavior of CSTR upon fast external effects: Possibility of increasing average conversion

The objective of the work was to study the influence of external factors (changes in composition, load and temperature) on the regimes of heterogeneous catalytic reactors. As shown, a rather fast change in external parameters causes an internal reorganization of the CSTR thus leading to an increase in average conversion.

V2O5/TiO2 oxidation catalysts, III. Oxidation of CO on pure and sodium-doped systems

The activity of vanadia/titania catalysts in CO oxidation has been tested and found to be of the same order as that observed for unsupported vanadia; the simultaneous presence of vanadium-sodium compounds cancels the activity, probably because of the elimination of labile V=0 species at surface defects.

Reduction behavior of Cu?SiO2 catalyst prepared by ion exchange for selective dehydrogenation to produce methyl formate from methanol

Reducibility of Cu–SiO₂ catalyst prepared by ion exchange method, being effective for selective dehydrogenation to produce methyl formate from methanol at lower temperatures, has been studied by a TPR technique. The results suggest that easier reduction leads to an increase of dispersity of Cu particles.

Kinetics and mechanism of the decomposition of pyrite under conventional and quasi-isothermal — quasi-isobaric thermoanalytical conditions

The kinetics and mechanism of the thermal decomposition of pyrite were examined by the method of quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric thermogravimetry (Q-TG). It emerged that by means of this technique the overlapping partial processes of the complicated oxidation and decomposition reactions of pyrite can be separated and studied independently from one another. It was found that the partial reactions FeS₂=FeS +S and Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x=Fe₂O₃+SO₃ are endothermic processes taking place quasiisothermally and leading to equilibrium, while the oxidation FeS+O₂=Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x is an exothermic process which takes place in an oscillating manner in a rather broad temperature interval.

Zusammenfassung Autoren untersuchten die Kinetik und den Mechanismus der thermischen Zersetzung von Pyrit durch quasi-isotherme und quasi-isobare Thermogravimetrie (Q-TG). Es stellte sich heraus, daß sich überlagernde Teilprozesse der komplizierten Oxydations- und Zersetzungsprozesse von Pyrit mit Hilfe dieser Technik absondern und unabhängig voneinander untersuchen lassen. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Teilreaktionen FeS₂=FeS+S und Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x=Fe₂O₃+SO₃ endotherme Prozesse sind, die quasi-isotherm verlaufen und zu einem Gleichgewicht führen, während die Oxydation FeS+O₂=Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x ein exothermer Prozeß ist, der oszillierend in einem ziemlich breiten Temperaturintervall verläuft.

The consistency of repeated H2?O2 titration cycles on supported Pt catalysts

H₂ and O₂ uptakes at 296 K on a Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst remained constant during repeated H₂–O₂ titration cycles conducted in a high vacuum adsorption system. Previously reported variations in these uptakes are attributed to adsorption of contaminants during desorption conditions. Also, it was found that nearly 40% of the H₂ adsorbed could be removed by degassing at 296 K for 1 hr.

Determination of organic- and carbonate-carbon in freshwater lake sediments by a microcombustion procedure

A microcombustion procedure specific for the determination of total-, organic- and carbonate-C in freshwater lake sediments is described. The procedure involves combustion of the sample at 650° to obtain organic-C. Total-C is obtained by combustion at 950° and carbonate-C calculated by difference. The procedure was evaluated by differential thermal analyses of representative sediments and known carbonate minerals. A procedure for the identification of dolomite in lake sediments by differential thermal analysis under CO₂ is also described.

Dependence of excitation energy on the coordination of oxygen atoms in cluster models of MgO surface

Cluster models of the MgO surface have been calculated by a semi empirical method. The energies of transitions between the surface states localized on ions of definite coordination are dependent on their coordination numbers. The lower transition energies correspond to a lower coordination number of oxygen ions.

Experiences with the use of DSC in the determination of vapor pressure of organic compounds

This paper describes the arrangement of measuring apparatus for vapor pressure determination by means of DSC according to the dynamic method (measurement of boiling temperatures at various pressures). Measuring conditions, main test parameters, typical disturbances and measuring errors are discussed. In the measuring range accessible (0.1 to 7000 kPa/ –30 to 600°C), certain boiling points and vapor pressure curves plotted therefrom agree very well with values specified in the literature. Extrapolation of these vapor pressure curves to the pressure range up to 0.1 mPa gives approximate values, the orders of magnitude of which are in agreement with those measured by means of other methods. Vapor pressure curves of oleochemical substances are presented.

Zusammenfassung Der Aufbau eines Meßplatzes zur Dampfdruckbestimmung mit der DSC nach der dynamischen Methode (Messung der Siedetemperaturen bei verschiedenen Drücken) wird beschrieben. Meßbedingungen, wesentliche Versuchsparameter, typische Störungen und Meßfehler werden diskutiert. Im zugänglichen Meßbereich (0,1 bis 7000 kPa/–30 bis 600°C) bestimmte Siedepunkte und daraus ermittelte Dampfdruckkurven stimmen sehr gut mit Literaturangaben überein. Die Extrapolation der Dampfdruckkurven in den Druckbereich bis 0,1 mPa liefert näherungsweise Werte, die mit nach anderen Verfahren gemessenen Werten in der Größenordnung übereinstimmen. Dampfdruckkurven von fettchemischen Substanzen werden vorgestellt.

Acetylene adsorption on a clean iridium surface

The interaction of C₂H₂ with a polycrystalline iridium surface at 140 KT500 K has been studied by AES, XPS and UPS. A model of the bonding between C₂H₂ and Ir by the 1 orbitals of the hydrocarbon is proposed. The more pronounced energy splitting between the orbitals of acetylene during adsorption compared to that in the gas phase is ascribed to deformation of the acetylene molecule.
