Thermal desorption analysis:

Experiments on water desorption from silicate glass powders of different chemical compositions were carried out by means of DSC. In order to establish the desorption energy distributions, a model of the heterogeneous surface was applied to the thermoanalytical desorption curves, and the results are discussed together with contact angle measurements on flat polished glass samples.The maxima in the desorption curves shift to lower temperature with increasing hydrophobic character; this is caused by divalent cations such as Pb²⁺, Ca²⁺ and Zn²⁺, while alkali metal ions are responsible for an increase in the hydrophilic behaviour.

Zusammenfassung Wasserdesorptionsexperimente an Silikatglaspulvern unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung wurden mittels DSC ausgeführt. Für die Berechnung von Desorptionsenergieverteilungen wurde ein Modell der heterogenen Oberfläche genutzt und zusammen mit Randwinkelmessungen an glatten, polierten Glasoberflächen diskutiert. Das Maximum der Desorptionskurven verschiebt sich mit wachsendem hydrophoben Verhalten nach tieferen Temperaturen, wofür divalente Kationen wie Pb²⁺ Ca²⁺ Zn²⁺ verantwortlich sind, während Alkaliionen das hydrophile Verhalten begünstigen.

Thermal desorption of organic solids

The emergence of a number of 'desorption' methods, which enable the production of gas phase ions directly from the condensed phase, has greatly extended the range of applications of mass spectrometry.     

Thermal desorption of quasimolecular ions

The thermal desorption of [M + Alkali]⁺ quasimolecular ions from a heated metal surface is reported for some alkali salts of carboxylic acids and mixtures of alkali halides with a crown ether, glucose and adenosine. No quasimolecular ion could be detected from sucrose. With benzo[15]crown-5 the desorption of [M + Na]⁺ ions takes place even below the threshold temperature for thermionic emission of alkali ions. In addition, the desorption of intact [B(C₆H₅)₄]^? ions from a layer of NaB(C₆H₅)₄ is reported.     

Thermal desorption of hydrogen from carbon nanosheets

Carbon nanosheets are a unique nanostructure that, at their thinnest configuration, approach a single freestanding graphene sheet. Temperature desorption spectroscopy (TDS) has shown that the hydrogen adsorption and incorporation during growth of the nanosheets by radio frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition are significant. A numerical peak fitting to the desorption spectra (300-1273 K) via the Polanyi-Wigner equation showed that desorption followed a second order process, presumably by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. Six peaks provide the best fit to the TDS spectra. Surface desorption activation energies were determined to be 0.59, 0.63, and 0.65 eV for the external graphite surface layers and 0.85, 1.15, and 1.73 eV for desorption and diffusion from the bulk. In contrast to TDS data from previously studied a-C:H films [Schenk et al. J. Appl. Phys. 77, 2462 (1995)], a greater amount of hydrogen bound as sp(2) hybridized carbon was observed. A previous x-ray diffraction study of these films has shown a significant graphitic character with a crystallite dimension of L(a)=10.7 nm. This result is consistent with experimental results by Raman spectroscopy that show as-grown carbon nanosheets to be crystalline as commercial graphite with a crystallite size of L(a)=11 nm. Following TDS, Raman data indicate that the average crystallite increased in size to L(a)=15 nm.

Thermal desorption of atmospheric organic pollutants enriched on charcoal

A technique of thermal vacuum desorption of charcoal, used in passive dosimeters to enrich organic pollutants of toxicological importance, is described. It combines the advantages of the classic procedure of using highly active charcoal followed by solvent desorption and the environmental one-step procedure of analyzing the whole thermally desorbed sample. For pollutants such as trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, ether, benzene and ethanol, the recovery and reproducibility are satisfactory. The unexpected decomposition of halothane and ethylacetate at higher temperatures is caused by the catalytic activity of the charcoal, but this can be tolerated under constant operating conditions.

Zusammenfassung Eine Methode zum Anreichem toxikologisch bedeutender organischer Luftverunreinigungen durch thermische Vakuumdesorption von Aktivkohle nach dem Einsatz in passiven Dosimetern wird beschrieben. Die Methode kombiniert die Vorteile der klassischen Prozedur unter Verwendung hochaktiver Kohle mit nachfolgender Desorption durch Lösungsmittel einerseits mit denen der Umwelt-Analyse der gesamten desorbierten Probe in einem Schritt andererseits. Für Luftverunreinigungen wie Trichlorethylen, Tetrachlorethylen, Ether, Benzen und Ethanol werden ausreichende Wiedergewinnung und Reproduzierbarkeit ermittelt. Die unerwartete Zersetzung von Halothan und Ethylacetat bei höheren Temperaturen wird auf die katalytische Wirkung der Aktivkohle zurückgeführt. Sie kann unter konstanten Versuchsbedingungen jedoch toleriert werden.

Thermal desorption of bromine from a graphite-bromine intercalation compound

Gas chromatography and static adsorption have been used to examine the bromine-graphite acceptor system, which has intercalant structures comparable with the adjacent graphite: layers. The bromine adsorption-desorption isobars and isotherms have been determined at 278–393 K, whose shapes indicate reversible phase transitions between intercalation stages 2 and 4. Measurements at 390–550 K give the desorption activation energies for the two forms of intercalated bromine; the heat involved in the conversion of the ionized intercalant form to the molecular one is 10.4 kJ/mole.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Ékperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 25, No. 1, pp. 120–123, January–February, 1989.     

Thermal desorption of the PO radical from polycrystalline Pt surfaces

The PO radical was detected to desorb from polycrystalline Pt surfaces during the catalytic decomposition of dimethyl methyl phosphonate and trimethyl phosphite above 1100 K using the laser-induced fluorescence technique. The activation energy for the desorption of adsorbed PO radicals, PO(a) → PO(g), was determined to be 59±2 kcal/mol in the temperature range 1100–1350 K at different radical source pressures. The mechanisms for PO production from these two catalytic reactions are briefly discussed.     

环戊烷和环己烷在silicalite-1分子筛上的热脱附行为

采用智能质量分析仪(IGA)及TG/DTG法研究了环戊烷和环己烷在硅沸石silicalite-1上的热脱附行为。当环戊烷在silicalite-1上吸附量小于4 m/uc时,TG/DTG曲线表明环戊烷在silicalite-1上存在一个脱附过程。吸附量大于4 m/uc,TG曲线显示热脱附过程明显分为两个阶段,DTG曲线中出现两个明显的脱附峰,彼此分离。环己烷在silicalite-1上只存在一种脱附过程,DTG曲线只出现一个脱附峰。从环戊烷和环己烷的热脱附曲线中也可看出,随着吸附量的增加脱附峰温逐渐向高温方向偏移。

Thermal desorption and vapor transport characteristics in an explosive trace detector

Swipe-based explosive trace detectors rely on thermal desorption to vaporize explosive particles collected on a swipe. The vaporized material is carried by air flows from the desorption unit to the inlet of the chemical analyzer, typically an ion mobility spectrometer. We have observed that the amount of explosives detected from a swipe varies with the physical location of explosives collected on the swipe. There are two issues that may contribute to this effect: inhomogeneous or insufficient heating of the swipe during desorption and low velocity air flows that inefficiently transport desorbed vapor during the instruments analysis time. To better characterize this effect, we have simulated the air movements within a generic desorption unit using commercially available computational fluid dynamics software. Simulations are three dimensional, symmetric and solved under steady, laminar flow conditions. The calculated velocity field correlates directly with experimental detector response to the high explosive RDX. Results suggest that the limiting factor in this model thermal desorption unit is the flow-field around the swipe and flow rate into the detector, rather than heat transfer to the swipe itself. Buoyancy effects due to heating dominate the flow-field and produce a vertical bulk fluid motion within the domain that opposes much of the flow drawn into the analyzer.     

Thermal desorption comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography for in-situ measurements of organic aerosols

The complexity of organic composition and temporal variability of atmospheric aerosols presents an extreme analytical challenge. Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) has been used on time integrated filter samples to reveal the presence of thousands of individual organic compounds in aerosols, but without defining the temporal variability in composition ideal for providing information on source resolution and human exposure to specific pollutants. We hereby introduce a new instrument, 2D-TAG, which combines our in-situ thermal desorption aerosol GC (TAG) instrument with GC x GC allowing for dramatically improved separation of organics with automated measurements at hourly timescales.

Thermal desorption behavior and binding properties of DNA bases and nucleosides on gold

A comparison of the binding of DNA bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine) and nucleosides (2'deoxyadenosine, 2'deoxycytidine, 2'deoxyguanosine, and thymidine) to gold thin films is presented. Desorption of monolayer/submonolayer and multilayer films of the adsorbates on gold studied via temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and reflection-absorption infrared (RAIR) spectroscopy reveals that there are major differences in the binding affinities of the different bases to gold, for example, thymine DeltaHdes = 111 +/- 2 kJ/mol compared to guanine DeltaHdes = 146 +/- 2 kJ/mol. The differences can be rationalized by molecular structures of the bases and their binding modes to gold surfaces deduced from IR data. Similar trends in desorption energies, shifted to lower desorption energy by more than 10 kJ/mol, are observed for deoxynucleoside layers on gold thin films.
