Effect of water on hydrogen desorption from the surface of Rh/C catalysts

An increase in the number of titration cycles results in a considerable decrease in H_T and O_T values, which in turn, brings about a decrease in the amount of desorbed hydrogen. This shows that water, being a product of titration reaction, is adsorbed on the oxidized surface of rhodium and represents a kinetic-diffusive barrier for hydrogen titration.

Effect of stirring on the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction: A problem of interpretation

It is probable that different phenomena attributed to mechanical stirring during the Belousov-Zhabotinskii (BZ) reaction are caused by atmospheric oxygen and, as far as our experiments show, they have nothing to do with dissipative structures or with the turbulence of the reacting mixture.

Usefulness of kinetic parameters in investigations of thermal decompositions of solids

The theoretical curves in the coordinates a vs. time for isothermal, and avs. temperature for non-isothermal experiments are calculated as functions of three kinetic parameters: activation energyE, pre-exponentical factorA and theg() function describing the mechanism of thermal decomposition of solids. The results show that conclusions not taking into consideration all three parameters can lead to information of little value concerning the mechanism of the decomposition and kinetic calculations. A correlation between non-isothermal and isothermal experiments, important for determination of the thermal stabilities of the compounds, is impossible without a knowledge of theg() function.

Zusammenfassung Theoretische Umsatzkurven gegent für isotherme bzw gegen Temperatur für nichtisotherme Versuchsführung wurden berechnet in Abhängigkeit von den drei kinetischen Parametern AktivierungsenergieE, PräexponentialfaktorA und derg()-Funktion, die den Mechanismus der Zersetzung von Festkörpern beschreibt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Schlussfolgerungen, die nicht alle drei Parameter berücksichtigen, zu, Ergebnissen von geringer Aussagekraft bezüglich des Zersetzungsmechanismus und der kinetischen Interpretation führen. Eine Korrelation nicht-isothermer und isothermer Experimente, die für die Bestimmung der thermischen Stabilität der Verbindungen wichtig ist, ist ohne Kenntnis der Funktiong() unmöglich.

Studies on the thermal behaviour of detonating fuse and detonators

Investigations of the thermal stability of detonating fuse containing 10 g pentaerythrol tetranitrate (PETN) revealed that the cord burnt under unconfinement at 403 K. Under confinement in a steel pipe or copper tube there was a partial detonation at 403 K. In order to characterize the thermal stability of PETN and pyrotechnic composition used in fuse head of electric detonators differential thermal analysis (DTA) was used.The electric detonators of aluminium cell and copper cell were heated from ambient temperature to 373 K at an average rate of 0.4 deg/min. The rate of heating was increased gradually to 1.5 deg/min till explosion. The detonation temperature varied between 373 K and 375 K.The impact and friction sensitivity of detonating fuse was poor. There was no detonation when a 5 kg hammer was repeatedly hit over the fuse from a height of one metre. There was no detonation when the detonating fuse was rubbed by a blunt edge of steel plate till it was smashed.

Zusammenfassung Untersuchungen der thermischen Stabilität von Sprengschnuren mit 10 gm^–1 PETN zeigten, daß die Schnur frei bei 403 K verbrennt. Unter Abschluß in einem Stahloder Kupferrohr tritt bei 403 K eine partielle Detonation auf. Zur Charakterisierung der thermischen Stabilität von PETN und von pyrotechnischen Mischungen, die in Zünderköpfen von elektrischen Sprengkapseln verwendet werden, wurde Differentialthermoanalyse (DTA) angewendet. Die elektrischen Sprengkapseln von Aluminium- und Kupferzellen wurden mit einer durchschnittlichen Aufheizgeschwindigkeit von 0.4 Grad/min von Raumtemperatur auf 373 K erhitzt. Die Aufheizgeschwindigkeit wurde bis zur Explosion allmählich auf 1,5 Grad/min erhöht. Die einzelnen Detonationen erfolgten bei einer Temperatur zwischen 373 und 375 K. Die Stoß- und Reibempfindlichkeit der Sprengschnur war gering. Bei einem mehrmaligen Einwirken eines 5 kg-Hammers aus einer Höhe von 1 m erfolgte keine Detonation. Bei Reiben mit der unscharfen Kante einer Stahlplatte bis zur Zerstörung erfolgte keine Detonation.

Thermal behaviour of some new hydrazinium fluorometallates

Three new hydrazinium(1+) fluoro complexes, N₂H₅AsF₆, (N₂H₅)₂ZrF₆ and (N₂H₅)₂HfF₆, were prepared and characterized by means of chemical analysis, IR and Raman spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction. Study of their thermal behaviour via TG, DTG and DTA measurements showed that they decompose in stages; the decomposition of N₂H₅AsF₆ proceeded in two steps, through the intermediate NH₄AsF₆; (N₂H₅)₂ZrF₆. Decomposed in three steps, through (NH₄)₂ZrF₆ and NH₄ZrF₅. The thermal decomposition of (N₂H₅)₂HfF₆ is more complex; in the first step (NH₄)₂HfF₆ with some N₂H₅HfF₅ was obtained, and in the second NH₄HfF₅. The intermediates were identified by means of chemical analysis and vibrational spectroscopy.

Die Untersuchung ihres thermischen Verhaltens durch simultane TG-DTG-DTA-Messungen zeigte, dass sie sich schrittweise zersetzen: N₂H₅AsF₆ zersetzt sich in 2 Stufen mit NH₄AsF₆ als Zwischenprodukt; (N₂H₅)₂ZrF₆ zersetzt sich in 3 Stufen über (NH₄)₂ZrF₆ und NH₄ZrF₅. Die thermische Zersetzung von (N₂H₅)₂HfF₆ ist komplizierter, der erste Schritt liefert (NH₄)₂HfF₆ mit wenig N₂H₅HfF₅, der zweite NH₄HfF₅. Die Zwischenprodukte wurden durch chemische Analyse und Schwingungsspektroskopie identifiziert.

CeO2-supported nickel catalysts. Evidence of a strong metal-support ineraction

An increase of the reduction temperature of a Ni/CeO₂ solid results in a continuous decrease of the catalytic activity toward C₂H₆ hydrogenolysis and of the quantity of adsorbed H₂. O₂ treatments with subsequent reduction at low temperature restore a part of the initial properties. This behavior, typical of a strong metal support interaction, is similar to that of Ni/TiO₂, Ni/SiO₂ and Ni/ZrO₂ solids and shows that the SMSI phenomenon is general.

Thermal characterization of bismaleimide blends

4,4-bismaleimidophenyl methane (BM) and 3,3-bismaleimidophenyl sulfone (BS) were blended in solution using weight ratios 31 (MS31), 21 (MS21), 11 (MS11), 12 (MS12) and 13 (MS13). Chain extended bismaleimide resins were also prepared by treating BS/BM with 4,4-diaminodiphenyl ether in molar ratios of 10.3 (BM-E and BS-E resins). These resins were also blended with bismaleimides and the curing characteristics were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry. Increase in BM content in BMBS blends or increase in chain extended bismaleimide content in BM-EBS or BS-E BM blends resulted in a reduction of melting and curing temperatures. Indication about the extent of cross-linking was obtained from solubility measurements (in DMF) of isothermally cured resins (180 °C, lh and 220 °C, lh in an air oven). Thermogravimetric analysis of samples isothermally cured at 180 °C and 220 °C (lh each) was carried out in nitrogen atmosphere. Improvement in thermal stability of chain extended bismaleimides was observed on blending.

Zusammenfassung 4,4-Bismalimidophenyl-methan (BM) und 3,3-Bismalimidophenyl-sulfon (BS) wurden in Lösung in den Gewichtsverhältnissen 31 (MS31), 21 (MS21), 11 (MS11), 12 (MS12) und 13 (MS13) gemischt. Auch kettenpolymerisierten Bismalimid-Harze wurden durch Behandlung von BS/BM mit Diaminodiphenylether im Molverhältnis 10,3 dargestellt (BM-E- und BS-E-Harze). Die Kennwerte der Aushärtung von Mischungen dieser Harze mit den Bismalimiden wurden mittels DSC ermittelt. Eine Erhöhung des BM-Gehaltes in den BM BS-Mischungen oder des Gehaltes der BM-E BS oder BS-E-Mischungen an kettenpolymerisierten Bismalimiden führt zu einer Erniedrigung der Schmelz- und Aushärtetemperaturen. Hinweise über den Vernetzungsgrad wurden aus Löslichkeitsmessungen (in DMF) von Isotherm (je 1 Stunde bei 180 und 220 °C in Luft) gehärteten Harzen erhalten. Die thermogravimetrische Analyse der Isotherm bei 180 bzw. 220 °C 1 Stunde ausgehärteten Proben wurde in Stickstoffatmosphäre ausgeführt. Die thermische Stabilität der Bismalimide wird durch Verschneiden verbessert.

Mechanism of reactions in mixtures of calcium polyphosphate with apatite and accompanying minerals during heating

The thermal interaction of Kovdor apatite, calcite, dolomite and forsterite with calcium polyphosphate up to 1200 °C were studied by chemical, thermal (under dynamic and quasiisothermal and isobaric conditions), X-ray, electronmicroscopic and chromatographic methods. It was found that the accompanying minerals of apatite react with calcium polyphosphate at lower temperature in comparison with apatite, complicating the process of thermal defluorination of papatite.

Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Begleitminerale des Apatits im Vergleich zum Apatit selbst bei niedrigeren Temperaturen mit Calciumpolyphosphat reagieren und so den Prozeß der thermischen Entfluorierung von Apatit komplizieren.
