Influence of nucleation mechanisms on the multiplicity of steady states in isothermal CMSMPR crystallizers

The influence of primary and secondary nucleation on steady-state behavior of CMSMPR crystallizers is analyzed. Secondary nucleation may lead to one, two, or three steady states over some region of parameters, while the appearance of primary nucleation tends to eliminate the steady-state multiplicity. In case of dominance of primary nucleation, the crystallizer always exhibits a unique steady state.

TG and EGA investigations of the decomposition of magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate by means of the Derivatograph under conventional and quasiisothermal — Quasi-isobaric conditions

An investigation was made of the thermal decomposition of MgNH₄PO₄ · 6H₂O under conventional and under quasi-isothermal—quasi-isobaric conditions. The experiments were carried out with a Derivatograph-suitable for simultaneous TG and EGA examinations. It was found that the thermal decomposition of MgNH₄PO₄·6H₂O consists of three, more or less overlapping partial processes. First 5 moles, then 1 mole of water of crystallization depart, and finally, strictly simultaneously and in an inseparable way, the departure of the ammonia and water of constitution takes place. The three processes can be separated best under quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric conditions.

Zusammenfassung Die Autoren untersuchten die thermische Zersetzung von MgNH₄PO₄·6H₂O unter konventionellen und quasi isothermischen — quasi isobaren Bedingungen. Die Versuche wurden mit einem zur TG- und EGA-Analyse geeigneten Derivatograph-Typ durchgeführt. Die Autoren fanden, daß die thermische Zersetzung von MgNH₄PO₄·6H₂O aus drei mehr oder weniger überlappenden Teilvorgängen besteht. Zuerst werden 5, dann 1 Mol Kristallwasser entfernt, das Konstitutionswasser und Ammoniak werden streng simultan und von einander untrennbar entfernt. Die drei Vorgänge können am besten unter quasi isothermischen und quasi isobaren Bedingungen von einander getrennt werden.

Résumé Les auteurs ont étudié la décomposition thermique de MgNH₄PO₄·6H₂O dans les conditions conventionelles ainsi que dans des conditions presque isothermes et presque isobares. On a effectué les expériences à l'aide d'un Derivatograph qui se prête aux études simultanées par TG et AGE. Dans les conditions conventionnelles, la décomposition thermique de MgNH₄PO₄·6H₂O s'effectue en trois processus élémentaires qui se recouvrent plus ou moins. Le départ de 5 puis d'une molécule d'eau de cristallisation est suivi de celui d'ammoniac et d'eau de constitution, celui-ci étant strictement simultané et indissociable. Ces trois processus peuvent être mieux séparés si l'on opère dans des conditions voisines du régime isotherme et isobare.

A new differential thermal analysis method

A new differential thermal analysis method has been developed which allows fast and accurate determinations of phase equilibria in condensed systems between 400 and 1100°. In this method the temperature is increased stepwise, heat effects being determined by analysis of the transient thermoelectric effects after each step. Between steps the temperature is kept constant until equilibrium is attained. The method has been tested in measurements of displacive solid-state transformations and melting points.

Zusammenfassung Eine neue Methode der Differentialthermoanalyse wurde entwickelt, welche rasche und genaue Bestimmungen von Phasengleichgewichten in kondensierten Systemen zwischen 400° und 1100° ermöglicht. Bei dieser Methode wird die Temperatur stufenweise erhöht und die Wärmeeffekte durch Analyse der thermoelektischen Übergangseffekte nach jeder Stufe bestimmt. Zwischen den Stufen wird die Temperatur bis zum Erreichen des Gleichgewichts konstant gehalten. Die Methode wurde bei Messungen von Verschiebungsumsetzungen in festem Zustand und von Schmelzpunkten erprobt.

Development of Heteropolysiloxane Coatings on Electrogalvanized Steel

The development of heteropolysiloxane coatings on electrogalvanized steel by sol-gel processing has been studied from the sol state to the solid state using techniques such as 29Si NMR, SIMS, XPS, and the three point flexure test. It was possible, from the results obtained, to propose a simplified model for the coatings which brings into play two layers of differing molecular structure: an extremelly thin internal layer and an outer layer, respectively called the anchoring and volume layers.     

Temperature programmed desorption of NH3 and H2O from NH4NaX and CoNH4NaX zeolites

A study has been made of temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of NH₃ and H₂O from samples of NH₄X and CoNH₄X zeolites of various degree of exchange. NH₃ TPD peaks could be explained by interaction of NH₃ with different Brönsted and Lewis acidic centers. Moreover a water peak at high temperatures allowed interpretations of the dehydroxylation, and by reason of the characteristic desorption temperatures a particular state of the Co²⁺ ions in the CoNH₄X zeolites is postulated.

Quantum-chemical studies of olefin activation on gallium oxide

The interaction of propylene with gallium oxide has been studied by the MINDO-3 method using a cluster model. It is shown that the energy barrier against allyl C–H bond dissociation is mainly determined by the Coulomb repulsion between the molecule and the central metal ion. Interaction of the dissociating hydrogen with the oxygen of the fragment ensures the stabilization of the system.

Colloid & Polymer Science

Certain water soluble polymers may have a repulsive two-body interaction, but an attractiven-body interaction induced by certain clustering effects. In the bulk this may lead to a point in the phase diagram. Here, with polymer brushes, we construct the theoretical density profiles, using a local mean-field approximation. The brush often shows two layers (one dense near the wall, and one dilute), but the concentrations in both layers depend on the distance to the wall. The location of the interlayer boundary can be derived from a Maxwell construction.

Ultrasonic study of the molecular encapsulation and the micellization processes of dodecylethyldimethylammonium bromide-water solutions in the presence of β-cyclodextrin or 2,6-di-o-methyl-β-cyclodextrin

Aqueous solutions of -cyclodextrin (-CD) or 2,6-di-o-methyl--cyclodextrin (DM--CD) and dodecylethyldimethylammonium bromide (D₁₂EDMAB) have been studied from speed of sound (u) data at 298.15 K, using a pulse-echo-overlap technique. The molecular encapsulation process of the surfactant monomer into the cyclodextrin cavity and its effect in the micellization process of the surfactant have been analyzed from theu measurements: I) as a function of [D₁₂EDMAB] in the presence of several initial cyclodextrin concentrations (-CD or.DM--CD); II) as a function of [cyclodextrin] (-CD or DM--CD), for an initial micellar solution of D₁₂EDMAB and; III) as a function of the [cyclodextrin]/[surfactant] stoichiometric concentrations. Both inclusion complexes formed (-CDD₁₂EDMAB) and (DM--CDD₁₂EDMAB) have stoichiometries of 11, and their association constantK have been determined using a model proposed in this work, based on the additivity of the different contributions of the involved species to the speed of sound. The apparent critical micellar concentration, cmc^*, of D₁₂EDMAB is found to increase linearly upon the addition of cyclodextrin (-CD or DM--CD). The free surfactant concentration in the micellar region, [D₁₂EDMAB]_f, decreases in the presence of -CD and slightly increases in the presence of DM--CD. The influence of the parcial methylation of the -cyclodextrin (-CDDM--CD) and of the polar head of the surfactant (D₁₂TAB D₁₂EDMAB) on the complextion and micellar parameters are also discussed.Supplementary material available: Tables of speed of sound (14 pages) are available from the authors.     

Comparison of microwave and lower-frequency discharges for plasma polymerization

A plasma sustained by surface waves (SW) has been used to study the deposition rate R of hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon plasma polymer films as a function of excitation frequency f=/2 in the range 12–400 MHz. The SW technique allows one to vary only f while keeping constant all other parameters known to influence R, for example, power density in the plasma P. A plot of R/P at a total pressure of 200 m Torr (27 Pa) displays two plateaus, that at f<30 MHz being about five times lower than that at f100 MHz. This is attributed to the fact that electron energy distribution functions differ fundamentally at radio- (f50 MHz) and microwave (f100 MHz) frequencies, for the gas pressure range considered.     

Thermal investigation of the phase composition of poly(ethylene terephthalate). Analysis of different methods of determination of the degree of crystallinity of partially crystalline substances

The literature data on the degree of crystallinity of non-deformed poly(ethylene terephthalate) measured at various temperatures have been subjected to comparative analysis. There is no correlation between the results obtained by the different methods. The reason for this is shown to be the imperfections in the methods of determining the degree of crystallinity, which do not provide the true composition of the crystalline phase. Consideration has been paid to the validity of the main principles involved in the thermal method of determining the degree of crystallinity, so as to eliminate the imperfections in the existing methods and to provide the correct value of the mass of the crystalline phase. The phase composition of PET has been analyzed by the thermal method at different temperatures and conditions of crystallization. A marked difference from the literature data is observed in the range of low temperatures.

Zusammenfassung Eine vergleichende Analyse der Literaturangaben bezüglich des bei verschiedenen Temperaturen gemessenen Kristallisationsgrades von nicht-deformiertem Poly(äthylen-terephthalat) wurde durchgeführt. Zwischen den mit verschiedenen Methoden erhaltenen Ergebnissen besteht keine Korrelation. Es wurde gezeigt, daß der Grund hierfür in der Unvollkommenheit der Methoden zur Bestimmung des Kristallisationsgrades liegt, da diese nicht die wahre Zusammensetzung der Kristallinen Phase angeben. Die Gültigkeit der wichtigsten Prinzipien, welche die thermische Bestimmung des Kristallisationsgrades unter Ausschaltung der Unvollkommenheit der bestehenden Methoden gewährleisten und den richtigen Wert der Masse der kristallinen Phase angeben, wurden in Erwägung gezogen. Die Analyse der Phasenzusammensetzung von PET wurde durch die thermische Methode bei verschiedenen Temperaturen und Kristallisationsbedingungen durchgeführt. Ein deutlicher Unterschied zu den Literaturangaben kann im Bereich der niedrigen Temperaturen beobachtet werden.
