Environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM) is used to monitor the catalytic combustion of diesel carbon soot upon exposure to molecular oxygen at elevated temperatures by using a gas‐injection specimen heating holder. The reaction conditions simulated in the ETEM experiments reconstruct real conditions effectively. This study demonstrated for the first time that soot combustion occurs at the soot–catalyst interface for both Ag/CeO₂ and Cu/BaO/La₂O₃ catalysts.

Negative temperature programming using microwave open tubular gas chromatography

A microwave gas chromatography (GC) column oven is engineered to generate a uniform microwave field around an open tubular column with the elimination of cold spots, which are common in a domestic microwave oven. Short cool-down time in microwave heating makes it possible to employ negative temperature programming for the enhanced separation of compounds during the process. The feasibility of negative temperature programming in microwave GC is investigated for the analysis and quantitation of four different pairs of nonvolatile and volatile compounds. The influence of intermediate column cooling rate, holding time in the cooling ramp, and reheating rate after the cooling ramp for enhanced resolution are investigated. The results obtained from negative temperature programming are compared with those from positive temperature programming. Negative temperature programming affords greater resolution of some critical pairs of analytes.     

Heating behavior and crystal growth mechanism in microwave field

A simple microwave solid-state reactor was designed on the basis of a domestic microwave oven by using graphite powder as heating medium. The heating behavior of the reactor was studied by using an on-line computer to monitor the real-time temperature during irradiation. It was found that the temperature (T) was related to the time (t) and that microwave power depended on the duty cycle (x) of microwave irradiation. Two empirical equations were proposed and could be applied to the similar microwave solid-state reactors. Four inorganic layered materials, LiV(3)O(8), KNb(3)O(8), KTiNbO(5), and KSr(2)Nb(3)O(10), were successfully synthesized in the designed reactor at a suitable heating rate and temperature that were fully controlled by the empirical equations. Characterization results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy, and scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy indicated that the phases of samples prepared by traditional and microwave methods were in good agreement; nevertheless, the heating nature and the morphologies of products were quite different. The samples synthesized in the microwave field had crystallographic defects and showed an incompactly stacking structure of nanosheets. Due to the rapid formation of crystallites and different extended growth rate along the crystal axis of the products in microwave field, the crystal growth mechanism of layered metal oxides was not according to that of the traditional method and is briefly discussed.     

A Rapid Microwave-Induced Solution Combustion Synthesis of Ceria-Based Mixed Oxides for Catalytic Applications

We have been exploring the utilization of a simple and fast microwave-induced solution combustion synthesis technique for the preparation of various ceria-based mixed oxides for different catalytic applications. In our comprehensive investigation, CeO₂–SiO₂ (MWCS), CeO₂–TiO₂ (MWCT), CeO₂–ZrO₂ (MWCZ) and CeO₂–Al₂O₃ (MWCA) mixed oxides were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis method using microwave dielectric heating and employed for CO and soot oxidation applications. The intricate relationship between ceria and other supporting oxides has been explored with the help of various analytical techniques namely, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction/oxidation (TPR/TPO), temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of ammonia and CO₂, Raman spectroscopy (RS), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), BET surface area and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) methods. XRD results revealed amorphous nature of the material in case of ceria-silica mixed oxide and formation of a specific cubic fluorite type Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ solid solution in the case of ceria-zirconia mixed oxide. Ceria-titania and ceria-alumina mixed oxides exhibited diffraction lines only due to crystalline ceria. Zirconia-based mixed oxide exhibited a lower reduction temperature and better redox properties compared to other samples. TPD of ammonia and CO₂ results revealed superior acid–base properties for MWCS mixed oxide. TGA measurements indicated a complete combustion in all preparations. RS results suggested defective structure of mixed oxides resulting in the formation of oxygen vacancies. XPS results revealed that ceria-zirconia mixed oxide contained more Ce³⁺ compared to other oxides. Among all the mixed oxides, the MWCZ sample exhibited a higher oxygen storage capacity, and better CO and soot oxidation activities. All these interesting findings have been elaborated in this publication.     

Changes induced in the thermal properties of Galizian soils by the heating in laboratory conditions

The soil properties can be strongly affected by wildfires, causing direct effects on ecosystem productivity and sustainability. These effects depend, among other things, on the soil type and on the temperature reached during the fire. The variations of thermal properties of several Galizian soils heated in an oven in laboratory conditions at different temperatures (200–500 °C) during 15 min have been examined in this study. The measured properties are heat of combustion of soil organic matter, ignition temperature, specific heat and mass loss, determined using DSC 2920 TA Instruments and a TGA 7 Perkin Elmer under dry air gas flow. In agreement with other authors, this study establishes three temperature intervals with different effects on the soil: up to 200 °C, low intensity heating, with no significant changes in thermal properties; between 200 and 350 °C, medium intensity heating, with losses of organic matter up to 50%; and high intensity heating to temperature higher than 350 °C, with harmful effects on the soil organic matter. On the other hand and taking into account that the sampled soils had been affected by forest fires, the variations of thermal soil properties with the laboratory heating temperatures allowed for an estimation of the temperature reached by the soil in the real fire.     

Nanotube Content in Arc Generated Carbon Powder

 A novel experimental technique for the separation of nanotubes from other unwanted carbon species in arc generated carbon soot is described. A conjugated polymer was used to bind to nanotubes in solution. The resultant hybrid was soluble, whereas extraneous carbon material formed a sediment at the bottom of the sample bottle. The process was monitored using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy showing that 63% of nanotubes were kept in solution and 98.1% of impurities were rejected. This non-destructive purification allowed the calculation of the nanotube content in the carbon soot using EPR and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The measurement of nanotube content gave a purity value of 34% for the soot used in this study; this is compatible with estimates from electron microscopic determinations.     

Comparison of digestion procedures for the determination of mercury in soils by cold-vapour atomic absorption spectrometry

Five digestion procedures were investigated for the determination of mercury in soils by cold-vapour atomic absorption spectrometry. These methods included three acid leaching procedures in open systems and two acid digestion procedures in closed decomposition vessels. The closed vessels were heated in a conventional laboratory oven or a laboratory microwave oven. In the open systems, digestion with concentrated acids at elevated temperatures led to considerable losses of (organo) mercury compounds, while digestion at ambient temperature gave incomplete oxidation of the sample matrix. To prevent any losses of mercury and to obtain complete oxidation, the use of a closed decomposition system at elevated temperatures appeared to be necessary. The results obtained with these closed systems were in good agreement with those obtained by neutron activation analysis. Heating in a microwave oven appeared to be a considerable improvement over conventional thermal heating.

Demonstrating Linear Regression and Error Using an Experiment with a Microwave Oven

To provide an application for the method of linear least squares to data collected in a laboratory, a beaker with water is heated in a microwave oven, and the water temperature is measured as a function of heating variables (time and oven setting). This procedure enables a student to obtain a regression line for each oven setting, and to evaluate the intercept and slope of this line and compare them with the initial temperature of the water and the heating versus oven setting relationship described in the microwaves manufacturers manual. They also are asked to identify any sources of errors observed in this experiment.     

A spontaneous combustion reaction for synthesizing Pt hollow capsules using colloidal carbon spheres as templates

Here we report a spontaneous combustion reaction in synthesizing Pt hollow capsules. In brief, Pt nanoparticles were loaded on the surface of colloidal carbon spheres by wet-chemical impregnation. When Pt-loaded carbon spheres were taken out of an argon-filled tube furnace at room temperature and exposed to air, they underwent spontaneous combustion. The internal carbon spheres templates were removed to leave nanostructured Pt hollow capsules. There are at least two critical conditions for the occurrence of the spontaneous combustion: the Pt particle size is below 5.8 nm, and the hydrogen content in the carbon spheres is above 2.570 wt %. Such a reaction is interesting for the preparation of metal hollow spheres and is also relevant with respect to removal of accumulated carbon on catalysts and for soot oxidation at room temperature.     

The effect of firesorb as a fire retardant on the thermal properties of a heated soil

The DSC technique was used to characterise under laboratory conditions, the effect of a polymer substance, Firesorb, that tries to be used as a flame retardant in forest fires, over two different Galician soils (NW Spain). Samples of these soils with different doses of this retardant were heated in an oven at 230 and 350°C to simulate medium and high intensity fires, respectively. The effect of the retardant was determined as a result of the comparison between the enthalpy of combustion of the organic matter and the ignition temperature of these subsamples and the corresponding unheated and untreated ones. Both parameters, enthalpy of combustion and ignition temperature, were determined directly from the DSC experiments. The results showed that the effect of the retardant remains clear in heating at 230°C and the content of organic matter of the soil was a determining factor in its quantification. However the effect of the retardant in heating at high temperatures is almost null in both soils.     

颗粒油页岩燃烧及含硫杂质的转化

对抚顺、茂名及约旦颗粒油页岩在热重分析仪(TGA)上进行了燃烧研究,考察了抚顺及茂名颗粒油页岩在模拟流化床快速升温条件下的燃烧性能并与恒温燃烧作了对比。结果表明,升温速度提高时,失重率(即燃烧速率)明显加剧。文中还对含碳酸盐及含硫量高的约旦颗粒油页岩在燃烧过程中硫的转化进行了研究。X射线衍射分析表明,它在燃烧过程中有较强的自脱硫能力。通过对该油页岩燃烧过程中热量的有效利用问题的讨论,认为在流化床内燃烧此类含碳酸盐较高的油页岩时宜采用短停留时间的炉型。     

Microwave-assisted pyrolysis of CH4/N2 mixtures over activated carbon

The aim of this work was to study the microwave-assisted pyrolysis of CH₄ over an activated carbon, which acted as both microwave receptor and catalyst, and the influence of using different CH₄/N₂ ratios on the conversion of CH₄ to H₂. In order to compare the results obtained in the microwave oven, the pyrolysis was also carried out under conventional heating (electric furnace, EF). The effects of N₂, which enhanced significantly CH₄ conversion, differed depending on the heating device used. Under EF heating, N₂ seemed to have an effect similar to distribute the CH₄ molecules within the activated carbon bed. Under microwave heating (MW), the N₂, as well as distributing the CH₄ molecules, favoured the generation of energetic microplasmas, leading to higher conversions. The prevalence of one role over the other depended on the CH₄/N₂ ratio, the appearance of energetic microplasmas being favoured with high percentages of N₂. Consequently, CH₄ conversion was higher at low CH₄/N₂ ratios. Additionally, the formation of carbon nanofibres in experiments where a combination of N₂ and MW heating was used is also reported.     

Optimization of the process variables in the microwave-induced synthesis of carbon xerogels

Carbon xerogels (CX) can be synthesized by microwave-assisted heating. The transfer of this technology to an industrial scale passes through the optimization of the variables that affect the process. The effect of the main operational variables, i.e., initial volume of the precursor, gelation and ageing time and temperature of the synthesis, on the final porous properties of CX has been evaluated. It was found that the development of porosity in the CX synthesised in the microwave oven is hardly influenced by the increase in the initial volume of the precursor solution. This suggests that it is feasible to scale up the production of these materials by means of microwave heating. Furthermore, the consumption of energy does not increase in proportion to the volume of xerogel synthesized. Thus, the process is energy efficient, saves a considerable amount of time and requires only a single device to carry it out. These advantages, along with the fact that a temperature variation of 10 °C is not determinative in the xerogels’ final properties, indicate that CX could be produced on a large scale in a cost effective way .     

Dehydration of sodium carbonate monohydrate with indirect microwave heating

In this study, dehydration of sodium carbonate monohydrate (Na₂CO₃·H₂O) (SCM) in microwave (MW) field with silicon carbide (SiC) as an indirect heating medium was investigated. SCM samples containing up to 3% free moisture were placed in the microwave oven. The heating experiments showed that SCM is a poor microwave energy absorber for up to 6 min of irradiation at an 800 W of microwave power. The heat for SCM calcination is provided by SiC which absorbs microwave. The monohydrate is then converted to anhydrous sodium carbonate on the SiC plate by calcining, i.e. by removing the crystal water through heating of the monohydrate temperatures of over 120 °C. The calcination results in a solid phase recrystallization of the monohydrate into anhydrate. In the microwave irradiation process, dehydration of SCM in terms of indirect heating can be accelerated by increasing the microwave field power.
