Kinetic analysis of thermogravimetric data. XI thermal decomposition of some metal dithionates

A thermal analytical study of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, NH₄, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Zn dithionates is reported. The decomposition of the dithionate ion is endothermic in the case of the Na, K, Rb, Cs and NH₄ salts, but exothermic with Li, Mg, Sr, Ba and Zn. Kinetic parameters have been derived from the TG curves by means of the Coats-Redfern method. The validity of a linear kinetic compensation law is reported for the loss of crystal water and separately for the decomposition of the dithionate ion.

Catalytic reactions of ethanol on H3+xPMo12?xVxO40 catalysts

The catalytic decomposition of ethanol on heteropolyacids (HPA) of the series H_3+xPMo_12–xV_xO₄₀ (x=0,1,2,3) was investigated at 240°C, using a pulse method. It has been shown that besides ethyl ether, ethylene, acetaldehyde and unreacted alcohol, a certain amount of alcohol was irreversibly sorbed by HPA. The amount of the latter decreased with x, which is considered to be due to the tighter bonding of Keggin units (KU) with an increasing number of intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The yield of ethyl ether forming at the surface was almost constant but that of ethylene and acetaldehyde decreased in the series x=0,1,2, which was connected with the increasingly difficult penetration of HPA molecules into the bulk. Some differences in the behavior of the sample with x=3 were the result of partial decomposition of this thermally stable catalyst.

IR and thermal studies on lanthanum zirconyl oxalate

Lanthanum zirconyl oxalate hydrate (LaZO) was prepared and characterized by chemical analysis and i.r. spectral studies. Its thermal decomposition was investigated by using DTA, TG, X-ray diffraction and i.r. spectral studies. On the basis of the TG and`isothermal results, a tentative decomposition scheme was proposed. In the first step the dehydration of LaZO takes place in two steps between room temperature and 498 K, to give the anhydrous compound. The anhydrous oxalate decomposes in a series of steps (498–548 K, 548–673 K and 673–773 K). Finally the decomposition of the carbonate takes place (773–1073 K) to give lanthanum zirconate (La₂Zr₂O₇).

Seine thermische Zersetzung wurde unter Einsatz von DTA, TG, Röntgendiffraktion und Infrarotspektroskopie untersucht. Aufgrund der TG und isothermen Ergebnisse wurde ein Zersetzungsschema vorgeschlagen. In der ersten Stufe erfolgt die Dehydratisierung von LaZO in zwei Schritten zwischen (RT-498 K) um die Anhydroverbindung zu ergeben. Das wasserfreie Oxalat wird in einer Serie von Stufen zersetzt und verschiedene Zwischenprodukte enthalten sowohl Oxalat als auch Carbonat (498–548 K, 548–673 K und 673–773 K). Abschließend findet die Zersetzung des Carbonats statt (773–1073 K) unter Bildung von Lanthazirkonat (La₂Zr₂O₇).

Barium sulphate reduction with carbon

The reduction of BaSO₄ by carbon was investigated by means of isothermal thermogravimetric measurements. In combination with a high-temperature thermobalance, solid electrolyte cells were used (i) to purify the N₂ flow gas, and (ii) to measure the partial pressure of oxygen (COCO₂ ratio, respectively) in the outlet gases.Mass loss curves and in the outlet gases were recorded at 743–955 °C. The activation energy of the process was calculated from the isothermal TG curves. X-ray diffraction and SEM showed that the solid product in the whole temperature interval comprised only cubic BaS.
