The effect of γ-irradiation on the thermal decomposition of magnesium bromate

The thermal decomposition of -irradiated magnesium bromate was studied by dynamic thermogravimetry. The reaction order, activation energy, frequency factor and entropy of activation were calculated by the Coats-Redfern equation and were compared with those of the unirradiated salt. Irradiation enhances the decomposition and the effect increases with irradiation dose. The activation energy decreases on irradiation. The mechanism for the decomposition of unirradiated and irradiated magnesium bromate follows the Avrami model equation, 1-/1-/1/3=kt, and the rate-controlling, process is a phase boundary reaction assuming spherical symmetry.

Topological aspects of differential thermal analysis

The most important calorimetric methods have been reviewed: the differential thermal analysis (DTA) as basic disposition and the scanning calorimetry (DSC) as well as the adiabatic rate calorimetry (ARC). The thermal circuits of these are expressed by bond diagrams as conceived by topological thermodynamics. It has been stated that the heat flux associated with the process of transformation is virtually (uncompensated) transferred in the DTA system, really transferred (compensated) in the DSC and ARC systems, between the two containers through a transfer medium assumed to be purely dissipative.

Zusammenfassung Eine Übersicht über die wichtigsten kalorimetrischen Methoden, sowie die Differentialthermoanalyse (DTA) als Grundverfahren, die Abtastkalorimetrie (DSC) und die adiabatische Geschwindigkeitskalorimetrie (ARC) wird gegeben. Die thermischen Kreise derselben werden durch Bindungsdiagramme, wie sie an Hand der topologischen Thermodynamik erhalten werden, ausgedrückt. Es wurde festgestellt, dass die Wärmeströmung mit dem Umwandlungsprozess assoziiert scheinbar (unkompensiert) in das DTA-System, wahrhaftig (kompensiert) in die Systeme DSC und ARC übertragen wird, undzwar zwischen den zwei Behältern durch ein als rein zerstreuend angenommenes Transfermedium.

Thermal decomposition of metal polyacrylates

Results of thermal and pyrolysis-GC/MS analyses of Na, Ca and Mg polyacrylates are presented. It was confirmed that the main decomposition reactions of the Na salt take place in the temperature range 420 – 470 and those of the other two polymers in the range 450–490. It was found that the solid residue after decomposition was the metal carbonate or oxide, while the volatile products consisted of H₂, CO, CO₂, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons (including cycloolefins and aromatic hydrocarbons) and aliphatic ketones. This suggests that the thermal decomposition of the metal polyacrylates proceeds via side-chain splitting and breaking of the main chain of the polymer, without retropolymerization.

Zusammenfassung Die Ergebnisse der Thermo- und Pyrolyse-GC/MS-analysen von Na-, Ca- und Mg-Polyacrylaten werden beschrieben. Es wurde bestÄtigt, dass die Hauptzersetzungsreaktionen des Natriumsalzes im Temperaturbereich von 420 bis 470, jene der anderen zwei Polymeren im Bereich von 450 bis 490 ablaufen. Es wurde nach der Zersetzung ein fester Rückstand von Metallkarbonat oder -oxid gefunden, wÄhrend die flüchtigen Produkte aus N₂, CO, CO₂, gesÄttigten und ungesÄttigten Kohlenwasserstoffen (darunter Zykloolefinen und aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen) und aliphatischen Ketonen bestanden. Dies lÄsst darauf schliessen, dass sich die thermische Zersetzung der Metallpolyacrylate über die Abspaltung der Seitenkette und der Spaltung der Hauptkette des Polymers ohne Retropolymerisation vollzieht.

Résumé On présente les résultats des analyses thermiques et des produits de décomposition pyrolytique par chromatographie en phase gazeuse et spectrométrie de masse (GC/MS) des polyacrylates de Na, Ca et Mg. On confirme que la réaction de décomposition principale du sel de sodium a lieu entre 420 et 470 et celle des deux autres polymères entre 450 et 490. On trouve que le résidu solide après décomposition est le carbonate ou l'oxyde du métal, tandis que les produits volatils consistent en N₂, CO, CO₂, en hydrocarbures saturés et non-saturés (y compris les cyclooléfines et hydrocarbures aromatiques) et en cétones aliphatiques. Cela permet de supposer que la décomposition thermique des polyacrylates métalliques s'effectue par coupure de la chaÎne latérale et par rupture de la chaÎne principale du polymère, sans rétropolymérisation.

Role of three phonon normal processes in the analysis of the thermal conductivity of solid HD at low temperatures

The role of the three phonon normal processes in the analysis of the lattice thermal conductivity of the solid HD has been studied in the entire temperature range 0.2–4 K. The study is made by calculating the contribution of the correction term due to the three phonon normal processes towards the total lattice thermal conductivity of the pure sample of the solid HD in the temperature range stated above. The study is also made for the different values of the three phonon normal processes scattering relaxation rate. The considerable contribution due to the correction term is found compared to the total phonon conductivity above 1 K.

Versuche zur Darstellung von 4- Vinyltriarylmethylradikalen

Zusammenfassung Beim Versuch zur Darstellung von 4-Vinyltriarylmethylradikalen durch Umsetzung von 4-Vinyltriarylmethylchloriden mit Metallen entstehen intermediär Radikale, die jedoch sofort in einer mesomeren Form weiterreagieren, wobei Polymere mit Chinodimethan-Strukturen entstehen. Als Modell hierfür dient das gelbe 1,4-,-Diphenylchinodimethan, das aus 4-Methyltriphenylmethylchlorid und Pyridin in Lösung erhalten werden kann; es ist nicht in fester Form isolierbar und polymerisiert sich leicht zu Poly-1,4-,-diphenylxylylen, das durch IR- und NMR-Spektren identifiziert wird.

The effect of gamma-irradiation on the thermal decomposition of anhydrous cadmium nitrate

The thermal decomposition of -irradiated anhydrous cadmium nitrate was studied by dynamic thermogravimetry. The reaction order, activation energy, frequency factor and entropy of activation were calculated by the Coats-Redfern method and were compared with those of the unirradiated salt. Irradiation enhances the decomposition and the effect increases with the irradiation dose. The activation energy decreases on irradiation. The mechanism of the decomposition of unirradiated and irradiated anhydrous cadmium nitrate follows the Mampel equation: -ln(1-) for g() and the rate-controlling process is random nucleation with the formation of a nucleus on every particle.

Effect of gamma-irradiation on the thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate

The thermal decomposition of -irradiated KClO₃ was studied by dynamic thermogravimetry. The reaction order, activation energy, frequency factor and entropy of activation were computed using the Coats-Redfern, Freeman-Carroll and Horowitz-Metzger methods and were compared with those of the unirradiated salt. The decomposition increases with the irradiation dose. The energy of activation decreases on irradiation.

Β-Chloro-Β-ferrocenylacrylaldehyde and its application in the synthesis of pyrylium and pyridine derivatives of ferrocene

-Chloro--ferrocenylacrylaldehyde, to which an s-cis configuration was assigned on the basis of the PMR spectral data, was synthesized from acetylferrocene by the Vilsmeier-Haack reaction. 2, 3, 6-Trisubstituted pyrylium salts with a ferrocenyl substituent in the 6 position were obtained by condensation of this aldehyde with -dicarbonyl compounds. The pyrylium salts were converted to the corresponding pyridines by the action of ammonium acetate in acetic acid. On the basis of the structures of the pyridines it was established that the aldehyde carbon atom initially attacks the -dicarbonyl compound with subsequent closing of the -unsubstituted pyrylium ring.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 599–602, May, 1977.

Analysis of the electronic excitations of the protonated forms of mono- and diacetyl derivatives of dibenzofuran,dibenzothiophene, and carbazole

The ^* electronic excitations of hydroxycarbonium (G-C (OH)- CH₃) and dihydroxycarbonium (CH₃- (OH)-G- (OH)-CH₃) ions, produced by the reaction of the corresponding acetyl and diacetyl derivatives of the heterocyles containing a biphenylene ring with 96% sulfuric acid, were investigated. A relationship was established between the structure of thse ions and their spectral characteristics. Analysis of the experimental data, the results of calculations by the PPP method, and the indices which quantitatively characterize the structure of the ^* electronic excitations, showed that two transitions (a strong transition of the p type and a weak transition of the type) are observed in the long-wave region (315–440 nm) of the electronic absorption spectra of the hydroxycarbonium ions. For the dihydroxycarbonium ions in this region of the spectrum there are doublets both for the p and for the a transitions. The origin of the electronic excitations of the dihydroxycarbonium ions is discussed in terms of orbital-configurational analysis and the resonance of the electronic excitations of the chromophores.Khar'kov University.

La and Zn promotion of Ru Fischer-Tropsch catalysts

An investigation of the use of La- and Zn-promoters for Ru/SiO₂ F-T catalysts has been carried out. It was found that, while the use of a La-promoter did not result in any improvement over the use of a K one, Zn-promotion resulted in much higher yields of olefins. The CH₄ and olefin selectivities of the Zn-promoted Ru/SiO₂ were essentially insensitive to temperature over the range 250–320 °C. The Zn-promoted catalyst was found to have many of the same catalytic properties previously found for Ru/ZnO, but was much more active. Thus, it is possible to achieve certain interesting catalytic properties for Ru by the use of Zn-promotion without having to make use of the low surface area support ZnO.

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.
