The synthesis of phase change materials based on NaCl–CaCl2 molten salt mixture and mesoporous silica was investigated. The influence of mesoporous silica porosity and salt concentration on the thermal energy storage properties of the resulting materials is discussed. The nanocomposite samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The mesoporous silica was found to act as a reactive matrix for the molten salts. Composite samples with up 95% wt. salt can be obtained and used as shape-stabilized phase change materials. The materials have heat of fusion values of up to 60.8 J g?1 and specific heat capacity between 1.0 and 1.1 J g?1 K?1. The samples exhibit thermal stability up to 700 °C and can be used for high-temperature thermal energy storage through both latent and sensible heat storage mechanisms.
相似文献Calorimetric measurements of sodium chloride dihydrate NaCl·2H2O (mineral name hydrohalite) were carried out with using DSC. Heat capacity from 190 to 250 K was measured and found to increase from 109 to 137 J mol?1 K?1. The enthalpy of formation of hydrohalite from solid ice and halite at 273.15 K was derived from the thermal effect of melting/decomposition in DSC measurements and found to be close to ??1.8 kJ mol?1. The same DSC results show clearly that the upper temperature limit for the existence of hydrohalite is several degrees greater than the current value of 273.15 K accepted for the peritectic decomposition of hydrohalite. The phase diagram of the NaCl–H2O system needs correction.
相似文献The change in the thermodynamic properties of triclosan adsorption on three activated carbons with the different surface chemistry was studied through immersion calorimetry and equilibrium data; the amount adsorbed of triclosan (Q) during calorimetry was determined and correlated with the energy associated with adsorbate–adsorbent interactions in the adsorption process. It was noted that triclosan adsorption capacity decreases with an increase in oxygenated surface groups. For an activated carbon oxidized with HNO3 (OxAC), the amount adsorbed was 8.50?×?10?3 mmol g?1, for a activated carbon without modification (GAC) Q?=?10.3?×?10?3 mmol g?1 and for a activated carbon heated at 1073 K (RAC1073) Q?=?11.4?×?10?3 mmol g?1. The adsorbed amounts were determined by adjusting the isotherms to the Sips model. For the activated carbon RAC1073, the immersion enthalpy (ΔHimm) was greater than those of the other two activated carbons due to the formation of interactions with the solvent (ΔHimmOxAC?=?? 27.3 J g?1?<?ΔHimmGAC?=?? 40.0 J g?1?<?ΔHimm RAC1073?=???60.7 J g?1). The changes in the interaction enthalpy and Gibbs energy are associated with adsorbate–adsorbent interactions and side interactions such as the adsorbate–adsorbate and adsorbate–solvent interactions.
相似文献Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) was neutron damaged at an integral flux of 2.40 × 1012 n cm−2 s−1 for 1, 2, 3 and 4 h. The h-BN samples undergo a transition from sp2 to sp3 hybridization as a consequence of the neutron induced damage with the formation of cubic boron nitride (c-BN) spots, as suggested both by FT–IR and Raman spectroscopy. In addition to c-BN, also a certain degree of amorphization is achieved by h-BN already at the lowest neutron fluence of 8.64 × 1015 n cm−2 as clearly evidenced by Raman spectroscopy. The Wigner or stored energy to the radiation-damaged h-BN samples was studied by DSC and also in this case there was a clear evidence that the neutron damage was partly irreversible and insensitive to the thermal annealing up to 630 °C. Electron spin resonance (ESR) was employed to further study the structural defects induced by the neutron bombardment of h-BN. Two kinds of paramagnetic defective structures centered on 11B atoms were identified.
相似文献In this research, the n-butyl palmitate was synthesized using the esterification reaction of the PA with n-butanol. The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared illustrated that the hydroxyl group and carboxyl group disappeared, and the ester bond appeared after the reaction, explaining that n-butyl palmitate was successfully fabricated. The differential scanning calorimetry indicated that the phase-transition temperature and latent heat are 12.6 °C and 127.1 J g?1, which was suited to use in low-temperature fields such as food, pharmaceutical, and biomedical. The thermogravimetric analysis suggested that it had great thermal stability during the phase change process. In addition, the thermal conductivity of the n-butyl palmitate was slightly higher than other fatty acid ester, and the 500 thermal cycles test results indicated that it had excellent thermal reliability. Therefore, the n-butyl palmitate is deduced to share great thermal energy storage ability in terms of latent heat thermal energy system applications.
相似文献In this work, the effect of temperature on the texture of silica gel waste is presented and water vapour adsorption in a different humidity is highlighted. It was found that silica gel waste is a mesoporous material with the parallel plates pores. Its specific surface area is equal to 4.61 m2 g?1, and the calculated total pore volume is equal to 9.01 × 10?3 cm3 g?1. The texture of silica gel waste changed during calcination in a 188–550 °C temperature interval: SBET and ΣVP increased to 11.32 m2 g?1 and 30.06 × 10?3 cm3 g?1, respectively. It was determined that the water vapour pressure influenced the mineralogical composition and the quantity of adsorbed water in the samples. The obtained results were confirmed by the differential scanning microcalorimetry, X-ray diffraction, BET and water vapour adsorption analysis data.
相似文献A kind of pavement crack repairing material with temperature regulation property was successfully prepared through one-step method, in which the paraffin was incorporated into the polyurethane/epoxy resin-interpenetrating polymer networks. Differential scanning calorimeter results indicated that the phase-change latent heat of sample A was 14.4 kJ kg?1, and the phase transition temperature was ??0.3 °C. FTIR and thermogravimetry measurements verified that the paraffin was successfully incorporated into the interpenetrating polymer network without leakage and reacted with the carrier, which exhibited high thermal stability above 300 °C. After 1 year of road test, there was no breakage for the repairing pavement with paraffin–polyurethane/epoxy resin-interpenetrating polymer networks, and there was almost no change for the accumulated attenuation of phase-change latent heat. Therefore, the materials of paraffin–polyurethane/epoxy resin-interpenetrating polymer networks have good chemical stability and thermal stability.
相似文献This work synthesized and characterized the NOR-RIB 1:1 (mol–mol) cocrystal. During a study of the reagents, Riboflavin (RIB) melted at 304 °C, which is different from the temperature previously reported in the literature (280–290 °C); therefore, this compound was characterized individually. Subsequently, the cocrystal was synthesized with the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) norfloxacin (NOR) with the RIB coformer, and the mechanochemical synthesis route was adopted. NOR, RIB, and the cocrystal were characterized by thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), DSC coupled to a microscope (photo-DSC), mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR), and powder X-ray diffraction. The results of thermal analysis showed that the RIB starts decomposition process (260 °C) and then melts (304 °C). The MIR found that beginning at 295 °C, the RIB passes into the form of a decomposition intermediate; therefore, the melting point observed in the DSC curve is related to this decomposition material. The cocrystal presented thermal stability (200 °C) lower than the API (235 °C) and the coformer (260 °C). The DSC curve did not contain a melting peak. The bands at 1726 cm?1 (C=O of the carboxylic acid) for the NOR, and the band at 3326 cm?1 (stretch O–H), among others, were not visible for the cocrystal in the MIR spectrum, indicating interactions in these regions. The X-ray diffractograms showed a new diffraction pattern, which proved the obtainment of a new phase and cocrystal formation.
相似文献In this work, we reported a detailed study on the synthesis, structural and magnetic properties of nanocrystalline La0.8Sr0.2MnO3. The synthesized nanoparticles were prepared using a sol–gel method and characterized using X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscope. The average particle size was found in the range from 40 to 45 nm. The magnetization versus temperature M(T) measurements as well as magnetization field dependence M(H) have been investigated using vibrating-sample magnetometer. The magnetization as a function of temperature M(T) indicated a broad second-order magnetic phase transition from ferromagnetic state to paramagnetic state in the Curie temperature region (320–340 K). The magnetocaloric effect of the sample has been estimated and presented a maximum magnetic entropy change |ΔSM|max?=?0.86 J kg?1 K?1 with relative cooling power?=?62.12 J kg?1 at magnetic field (H)?=?2T. Based on the result of magnetocaloric properties, the investigated sample could be considered as a good refrigerant material for near room temperature magnetic refrigeration.
相似文献The present work investigates the hydration heat of different cement composites by means of conduction calorimetry to optimize the composition of binder in the design of heavyweight concrete as biological shielding. For this purpose, Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R was replaced by a different portion of supplementary cementitious materials (blast furnace slag, metakaolin, silica fume/limestone) at 75%, 65%, 60%, 55%, and 50% levels to obtain low hydration heat lower than 250 j g?1. All ingredients were analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and nuclear activation analysis (NAA) to assess the content of major elements and isotopes. A mixture of two high-density aggregates (barite and magnetite) was used to prepare three heavyweights concretes with compressive strength exceeding 45 MPa and bulk density ranging between 3400 and 3500 kg m?3. After a short period of volume expansion (up to 4 h), a slight shrinkage (max. 0.3°/°°) has been observed. Also, thermophysical properties (thermal conductivity, volumetric specific heat, thermal diffusivity) and other properties were determined. The results showed that aggregate content and not binder is the main factor influencing the engineering properties of heavyweight concretes.
