Equilibrium in Saturated Ca(OH)2 Solutions: Parameters and Dissociation Constants

A new computer program has been developed for the calculation of pH, pOH, hydroxide ion concentration m _OH, species distribution coefficients _i, ionic activity coefficients _i ionic strength I, buffer capacity , solubility product K _s0, and the two dissociation constants, K _b1 and K _b2, corresponding, respectively, to first and second dissociation steps of Ca(OH)₂ in aqueous solution. Previously developed methodology, for the calculation of pH, _i, _i I, and parameters of pH buffer solutions, starting from the corresponding acidity constants, has been adapted for the case of aqueous Ca(OH)₂ solutions, for which the pertinent stoichiometric relationships are different from those applicable to mixtures of acids and their salts. The results show that, contrary to what is currently assumed, the first dissociation is far from complete. Values are given for the concentrations and activities of species Ca(OH)₂(aq), Ca(OH)⁺(aq), and Ca²⁺ (aq) in saturated calcium hydroxide solutions at 25°C.     

水热处理氢氧化镁微晶性质研究

Shape apprearance and crystallite characterization of magnesium hydroxide at different hydrothermal tempera-tures have been investigated by SEM， XRD and DSC methods. The grain size， cell parameter and lattice distortion rate of powders under each condition were obtained. The results show that the grains had grown up， especially along the (001) surface as the hydrothermal temperature was raised， accompanying the shrinkage of lattice and the de-scending of distortion rate. These could be relate to the re-crystallization of Mg(OH)₂， as well as the thermal dif-fusion of OH^- with lower charges， resulting in good dispersion， high thermal decomposition temperature and en-thalpy of Mg(OH)₂. Moreover， it is helpful for the increase of the retardant behavior of Mg(OH)₂.

Kinetic Analysis of Thermogravimetric Data XXXII. DSC Study of Some [Co(Diox·H)2(amine)2]X and H[Co(Diox·H)2(N3)2] Type Complexes with Alicyclic α-dioximes

14 mixed Co(III) dioximine chelates of the types [Co(Diox·H)₂(amine)₂]X (X = Br, I, NO₃, ClO₄) and H[Co(Diox·H)₂(N₃)₂], respectively (Diox·H₂-1,2-cyclohexane dione dioxime (nyoxime), 1,2-cycloheptane dione dioxime (heptoxime) 1,2-cyclooctane dione dioxime (octoxime) were obtained and their thermal decompositions were studied in an argon atmosphere. After the dehydration of the crystallohydrates, both types of complexes exhibit 3 decomposition stages. For the [Co(Diox·H)₂(amine)₂]X type complexes (X = Br, I) the first endothermal stage is the substitution of an amine molecule for the external sphere anion and this process is followed by two exothermal decomposition stages. With H[Co(Diox·H)₂(N₃)₂] type complexes the first and third processes are relatively slow, but the second process is very fast, corresponding to a vertical portion of the TG curves. From the TG curves kinetic parameters were derived for 11 processes and the validity of a non-linear compensation law was observed.

Thermal hazard evaluation of carbon nanotubes with sulfuric acid by DSC

Many concerns over unsafe or unknown properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been raised. The thermal characteristics regarding stability would represent potential hazards during the production or utilization stage and could be determined by calorimetric tests for various thermokinetic parameters. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was employed to evaluate the thermokinetic parameters for MWNTs at various compositions. Thermoanalytical curves showed that the average heat of decomposition (ΔH _d) of the MWNTs samples in a manufacturing process was about 31,723 J g⁻¹, by identifying them as an inherently hazardous material. In this study, significant thermal analysis appeared in the presence of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). From the DSC experiments, the purification process of MWNTs could induce an unexpected reaction in the condition of batch addition with reactants of H₂SO₄. The results can be applied for designing emergency relief system and emergency rescue strategies during a perturbed situation or accident.     

沉淀转化法制备的Co(OH)2的超级电容特性

Cobalt hydroxide, often used as an additive in nickel electrode, is rarely studied as active material for su-percapacitors. In this paper, the Co(OH)₂ with the particle size less than 20nm by deposition transformation was synthesized. Its single electrode specific capacitance was measured to be 92F·g^-1, and the electrode resistance was so low that the initial potential drop when discharging is unobvious even the discharge current increased to 200mA for a 1cm² electrode. After ten thousand cycles, Co(OH)₂ on the electrode changes to Co₃O₄ gradually, the resistance of the electrode does not increase much, while the specific capacitance increases to 133F·g^-1 at 10mA。     

Synthesis of Mono-Dispersed Mg(OH)2 Nanoflakelets

Solubility and solubility product of crystalline Ni(OH)2

The solubility of crystalline Ni(OH)₂ was studied in solutions of 0.01M NaC10₄ with pH ranging from 7 to near 14. Equilibrium was approached both from over-and undersaturation, and the equilibration times extended from 3 to 90 days. The solubility of Ni(OH)₂(c) in the pH range of approximately 7 to 11.3 was effectively modeled by including aqueous Ni²⁺ and NiOH⁺ species. Values of the logarithm of the thermodynamic equilibrium constants for the reactions [Ni(OH)₂(c) ⇌ Ni²⁺ + 2OH^-] and [Ni²⁺ + OH^- ⇌ Ni(OH)⁺] were determined to be -16.1±0.1 and 5.65 ± 0.10, respectively. These data, in conjunction with Pitzer ion interaction parameters given in the literature, were used to model the reported solubilities of Ni(OH)₂(c) in chloride, sodium acetate, and potassium chloride solutions. The model predictions for these systems were in excellent agreement with the experimental data from the literature.

Polygermanosilyne Calcium Hydroxide Intercalation Compounds Formed by Topotactic Transformation of Ca(Si 1 − x Ge x )2 Alloy Zintl Phases in Ambient Atmosphere

Summary.   Epitaxial thin films of Ca(Si _1 − x Ge _x )₂ with 0 < x ≤ 1 are found to react with the moisture of ambient atmosphere to form new Ca-Si-Ge-O-H compounds which were studied by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, infrared absorption, and thermally induced hydrogen desorption measurements. Pure CaGe₂ forms the polygermyne calcium hydroxide intercalation compound Ca(OH)₂(GeH)₂ upon exposure to humidity, with a trigonal tr6 crystal lattice with a = 4.00(1) and c = 65.3(1)?. In mixed Ca(Si _1 − x Ge _x )₂ with smaller Ge content, the group-14 layers are subject to intense oxidation leading to decreased crystallinity. The products exhibit characteristic colours and intense photoluminescence, the peak luminescence varying from 1.35 eV for the reaction product of Ca(Si_0.3Ge_0.7)₂ to 2.6 eV for that of Ca(Si_0.5Ge_0.5)₂.

Fe(OH)2悬浮液在EDTA作用下氧气氧化生成δ-FeOOH的机理研究

At room temperature and in the presence of trace EDTA, the formation of δ-FeOOH was studied by the rapid oxidation of Fe(OH)2 suspension with O2. The structural and morphological changes were characterized by various techniques such as XRD, FTIR and TEM. γ-FeOOH and (δ-FeOOH) formed simutaneously in the early period of oxidation. But as the rate of mass transfer was in equilibrium, trace (γ-FeOOH) vanished gradually. Accordingly, pure phase δ-FeOOH was obtained. At the same time, critical amount ratio K of EDTA to Fe2+ was verified. The experiments show that the reactivity, rate of the oxidizing agent and pH of the initial medium were important factors for the formation of pure phase (δ-FeOOH). Under the auxiliary effect of EDTA, the reactivity of O2 was nearly improved to that of H2O2. And the process of the oxidation that Fe(OH)2 suspension was oxidized by O2 under that condition was discussed.

Thermal explosion and runaway reaction simulation of lauroyl peroxide by DSC tests

Lauroyl peroxide (LPO) is a typical organic peroxide that has caused many thermal runaway reactions and explosions. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was employed to determine the fundamental thermokinetic parameters that involved exothermic onset temperature (T₀), heat of decomposition (ΔH_d), and other safety parameters for loss prevention of runaway reactions and thermal explosions. Frequency factor (A) and activation energy (E_a) were calculated by Kissinger model, Ozawa equation, and thermal safety software (TSS) series via DSC experimental data. Liquid thermal explosion (LTE) by TSS was employed to simulate the thermal explosion development for various types of storage tank. In view of loss prevention, calorimetric application and model analysis to integrate thermal hazard development were necessary and useful for inherently safer design.     

Thermal behaviour of the copper-substituted cobalt hydroxide fluoride series CuxCo1−x(OH)F

The basic salt cobalt(II) hydroxide fluoride was obtained by partial hydrolysis of a 0.2M solution CoF₂. Mixed Co(II)·Cu(II) hydroxide fluorides with an isomorphic substitution of Co(II) by Cu(II) ions up to 20% were also prepared. XRD data obtained on these compounds indicate that they are single-phase compounds, their X-ray powder patterns being almost identical to the Co(OH)_0.7F_1.3 diagram, with Zn(OH)F-type structure. However, their stoichiometries are very close to Co_1?xCu_x(OH)F (0≤x≤0.2). Thermal analysis studies carried out up to 1273 K in still air or under dynamic vacuum conditions show that in air CoO or a mixture of CoO and CuO is formed as final product. In vacuum, at high temperature, with a Ta heating surface, pure α-Co or a mixture of α-Co and Cu is formed at about 973 K.     

Study of The Mechanism and Kinetic Parameters of The Thermal Decomposition of Cobalt Sulphate Hexahydrate

Thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used in the study of the kinetics of decomposition of cobalt sulphate hexahydrate under an air atmosphere. The kinetics of the particular stages of CoSO₄ 6H₂ O decomposition were evaluated from the dynamic mass loss data. The values of the kinetic parameters for each stage of the thermal decomposition were calculated from the α(T) data by using the integral method, applying the Coats-Redfern approximation.
