Thermal conductivity measurements on samples with low cross-sections

A simple, low-cost apparatus has been designed and constructed for measurement of the thermal conductivities of samples with low cross-sections (10^–7 m²). This apparatus has been used to determine variations in the thermal conductivity of the metallic glass Fe₈₀B₂₀ (Metglas 2605) in the crystallization process induced by thermal treatment.In spite of the simplicity, the deviations from the real values of thermal conductivities measured have been lower than 8%, which has proved to be satisfactory for establishing the glass formation, temperature, T₈, from changes in thermal conductivity.

Zusammenfassung Eine einfache, billige Apparatur zur Messung der Wärmeleitfähigkeit von Proben mit kleinen Querschnitten (10^–7 m²) wurde entworfen und gebaut. Die Apparatur wurde zur Bestimmung von Veränderungen der Wärmeleitfähigkeit des metallischen Glases Fe₈₀B₂₀ (Mctglass 2605) während des durch thermische Behandlung ausgelösten Kristallisationsprozesses benutzt. Trotz der Einfachkeit betrug die Abweichung von den gemessenen tatsächlichen Wärmeleitfähigkeitswerten weniger als 8%, was sich als ausreichend für die Ermittlung der Glasbildungstemperatur 7₉ aus Veränderungen der Wärmeleitfähigkeit erwiesen hat.

The importance of the choice of a suitable kinetic equation in the DTA study of the silica gel to cristobalite transformation is pointed out. It is shown that isothermal and non-isothermal data reported in the literature are better fitted by a Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation withn=3, rather than a first-order one.

Kinetics of the formation of whewellite and weddelite by displacement reactions

The nucleation and crystallization of whewellite and weddelite during displacement reactions has been investigated by means of thermomicroscopy, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Gypsum cleavage plates were immersed at different temperatures in solutions of oxalic acid and alkali oxalates. The reaction product (whewellite and/or weddelite) formed on the gypsum crystal surface. Depending on the concentration of the solution and on the time and temperature, different degrees of reaction, which means varying amounts and crystal forms or Ca-oxalate were found. An evaluation of the growth rate was possible by means of thermogravimetry. Conditions for the preparation of pure weddelite by precipitation from solutions have been established.

Gipsspaltplättchen wurden bei verschiedenen Temperaturen in Oxalsäure- und Natriumoxalatlösungen eingetaucht. Das Reaktionsprodukt (Whewellit oder Weddelit) bildete sich auf der Oberfläche des Gipskristalls. In Abhängigkeit von der Konzentration der Lösung, der Zeit und der Temperatur wurden verschiedene Umsetzungen, d. h. verschiedene Menge und Kristallformen von Calciumoxalat gefunden. Die Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit ließ sich aus thermogravimetrischen Messungen ermitteln. Die Bedingungen zur Herstellung reinen Weddelits durch Fällung aus der Lösung wurden ermittelt.

Application of emissionless infrared diffuse reflectance spectrometry for following reactions of adsorbed alcohols on an alumina catalyst

IR spectra of adsorbed alcohols on alumina were measured under the reaction conditions at elevated temperatures. The transient response of IR absorption intensity indicates that alkoxides are reactive adsorbed species but carboxylates are not. The rate constants of surface reactions were calculated from the transient response.

The existence of a linear correlation between the apparent activation energy of benzene disappearance and the primary selectivity was demonstrated for a series of vanadia based catalysts. Analysis of this correlation leads to the conclusion that the activation energies of reaction 1 as well as activation energies of reaction 2 in benzene oxidation scheme do not differ significantly over a series of these catalysts.

The GC-MS method was used to identify the addition products of methyldichlorosilane to vinyl acetate. Radiation-induced addition of methyldichlorosilane to vinyl acetate produces 2-methyldichlorosilylethyl ethyl ether. The reaction follows a radical-chain mechanism. The ratio of the rate constants of methyldichlorosilyl radical addition to C=C and C=O to vinyl acetate amounts to 0.4±0.1 (303 K).

Synthesis and thermal decomposition of cobalt(II) bis(oxalato)cobaltate(II) tetrahydrate

Cobalt(II) bis(oxalato)cobaltate(II) tetrahydrate (Co[Co(C₂O₄)] · 4H₂O) was synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental and spectral analysis. The thermal decomposition of the complex was investigated in air and nitrogen media. In air, complete dehydration of the complex occured at 251°, followed by rapid decomposition to a mixture of CO₂O₃ and Co₃O₄ at 300°; in nitrogen, dehydration occurred at 206°, followed by decomposition to a mixture of Co and CoC₂O₄, and finally to Co + CoO, at 394° and 420°, respectively. The activation energies for the dehydration and decomposition reactions in nitrogen and air media were evaluated and a tentative reaction mechanism for the thermal decomposition of the complex was proposed.

Adsorption of molecular and atomic oxygen on gold

Molecular oxygen adsorbs on gold surfaces at elevated temperatures (T900 K) forming a surface gold oxide which does not decompose in vacuum at T=1000 K. Atomic oxygen adsorbs at T=300 K and completely desorbs from the surface at T=500–600 K (E_des=12–15 kcal/mol) without trandformation to surface oxide oxygen.

An evolved gas analysis study of the reduction of nickel oxide by hydrogen

The reduction of NiO by H₂ was followed by conventional thermogravimetry and a new evolved gas analysis approach which follows the course of the reaction by measuring the H₂O content of the gas stream. Excellent correspondence is observed between the two techniques for simultaneous measurements. Heating rates between 0.5 and 10° min^–1 shift the temperature of the reaction as does changing the surface area of the NiO. These shifts are discussed in terms of the Neel temperature (T _N) of NiO and the thermal history of the sample. No correlation between reaction rate andT _N is observed under dynamic conditions. Preheating the sample in vacuum at 130° has a marked effect on shape of the DTG and EGA curves.

Zusammenfassung Die Reduktion von NiO durch H₂ wurde durch konventionelle Thermogravimetrie und eine neue Analyse des entwickelten Gases untersucht, welche den Reaktions-ablauf durch Messung des H₂O-Gehalts des Gasstromes verfolgt. Eine ausgezeichnete Übereinstimmung beider Techniken wird bei simultanen Messungen beobachtet. Aufheizgeschwindig keiten zwischen 0.5 und 10° min^–1 verschieben die Temperatur der Reaktion und verändern die Oberfläche des NiO. Diese Verschiebungen werden auf Grund der Neel-Temperatur (T _N) des NiO und der thermischen Vergangenheit der Probe erörtert. Unter dynamischen Bedingungen wird keine Korrelation zwischen der Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit undT _N beobachtet. Das Vorwärmen der Probe im Vakuum bei 130° zeigt einen deutlichen Einfluß auf die Form der DTG und EGA Kurven.

Kinetics of oxidation of acrolein on a vanadium-molybdenum oxide catalyst

A kinetic study has shown that, in the range of low conversions, the reaction rate depends only on the partial pressure of oxygen. Comparison of the oxidation of acrolein and I-deuteroacrolein suggests that the splitting of the H–CO bond is not rate-limiting.

Potassium addition to Fe/MgO, Ni/MgO and Ni/SiO2: Reducibility, dispersity and stabilization of the promoter by the support

The influence of potassium addition on the morphological properties of Fe/MgO and Ni/MgO has been investigated: KNO₃ addition to precursors results in a decrease of the reducibility and in a smaller dispersity of the metallic phase. A loss of potassium is observed at reduction temperatures in excess of 773 K. Silica-supported Ni behaves differently: silica inhibits the potassium volatilization and nickel reducibility is enhanced. This illustrates how promoter effects can be influenced by the nature of support.

Temperature and pressure oscillations during the autooxidation of benzaldehyde

The oscillatory behavior of the autooxidation of benzaldehyde catalyzed by cobalt(II) and bromide ions can be monitored besides potentiometry and/or spectrophotometry also by measuring the temperature of the reaction system and the pressure of oxygen above the solution as a function of time. The temperature and pressure oscillations can be explained only qualitatively so far.
