The application of thermoanalytical methods in the investigation of biological substances

The equilibria and thermodynamics of a number of naturally occuring isolated compounds (e.g. proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates) have recently been studied in several laboraties in different temperature ranges, and thermoanalytical methods have been used to study structural changes of biological materials, among them human tissues.In our investigations we succeeded in appling the derivatograph for the assay of glycosaminoglycans and for the characterization of the stability of crosslinked proteins in intact human and animal tissues. By means of this method age-related and pathological changes and repair reactions were studied in various connective and vascular tissues.Other temperature-dependent techniques (DSC, polarizing microscopy) were used successfully in another series of experiments. Alterations in the characteristic order-disorder transition temperatures of human serum lipoproteins could be demonstrated in pathological conditions; the altered physical structure of lipoproteins might give an additional explanation to the assumed mechanism of different metabolic disorders.

Proof of the kinetic reaction mechanism of PVC degradation using TA

The possibility of describing the kinetics of thermal degradation of PVC samples under both isothermal and nonisothermal conditions with a unique model and using the same set of parameters was investigated. Analysis of the experimental data revealed good agreement at higher temperatures (above 175 °C) when the catalytic action of generated HCl and its distribution in the sample were considered. At lower reaction temperatures, further experimental conditions and/or sample characteristics must be considered, and a modification of the model is necessary.

Zusammenfassung Es wird die Möglichkeit untersucht, die Kinetik des thermischen Abbaus von PVC sowohl unter isothermen wie unter nichtisothermen Bedingungen durch ein einziges Modell und unter Verwendung des gleichen Parametersatzes zu beschreiben. Die Analyse der Messdaten zeigt gute Übereinstimmung bei hohen Temperaturen (über 175 °C), wenn die katalytische Aktivität des entwickelten HCL und seine Verteilung in der Probe berücksichtigt werden. Bei tieferen Temperaturen müssen weitere experimentelle Bedingungen und/oder Probeneigenschaften berücksichtigt werden, was eine Modifizierung des Modells erforderlich macht.

Studies of Cu?Ni supported catalysts for enantioselective hydrogenation

The effect of support content and composition of supported metal phase on the crystallite size, phase composition and catalytic properties of supported Ni and Cu–Ni catalysts has been investigated. It has been established that with increasing metal content, crystallite sizes and enantioselectivity increase. Copper added to Ni catalysts decreases metal phase dispersity and enantioselectivity.

A novel possibility to clarify the role of bromide in bromate oscillators

Bromocomplex forming metal ions (Tl³⁺, Hg²⁺) alter considerably the parameters of chemical oscillations in bromate oscillators. Even at 10^–5 M metal ion concentration the period of the oscillation is doubled or tripled; at 10^–4 M the oscillation is quenched. At high (10^–2 M) Tl³⁺ concentration, high frequency, strongly damped oscillations occur although [Br^–]_eq is below 10^–10 M. By the addition of Tl³⁺ we could determine the amount of Br^– formed in a single autocatalytic step, which we found to be about 10^–4 M.

Study of thermal behaviour up to 1550° of materials containing calcium sulphate

Thermal analysis up to 1550 °C on natural and synthetic materials containing CaSO₄ revealed the temperature ranges of dehydration, impurity content decomposition and CaSO₄ decomposition. CaSO₄ decomposition starts above 1200 °C and proceeds in several steps, depending on the CaO content. CaSO₄ forms several eutectic compositions with CaO (at 1340, 1390, 1410 and 1450 °C), each decomposition step being preceded by the formation and fusion of a eutectic composition, the decomposition taking place in the melt.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Analyse bis 1550 °C von CaSO₄ enthaltenden natürlichen und synthetischen Materialien hat gezeigt, daß Temperaturbereiche zu unterscheiden sind, in denen die Dehydratisierung und die Zersetzung von Verunreinigungen und CaSO₄ verlaufen. Die Zersetzung von CaSO₄ setzt oberhalb 1200 °C ein und verläuft, abhängig vom CaO-Gehalt der Probe, in mehreren Schritten. Es wurde festgestellt, daß Calciumsulfat mit CaO mehrere eutektische Gemische (bei 1340, 1390, 1410 und 1450 °C) bildet. Jedem Zersetzungsschritt geht die Bildung und das Schmelzen eines eutektischen Gemischs voraus. Die Zersetzung selbst geht in der Schmelze vor sich.

Influence of the preparation method on the pore spectrum of Pt?Cr/Al2O3 and Pt?Sn/Al2O3 catalysts

It is shown that, in contrast to classical impregnation methods, in bimetallic catalyst production the texture of the carrier is stabilized by introducing the promoting ion on the surface of Pt/Al₂O₃ with vapors of CrO₂Cl₂ or SnCl₄. This is shown by a relatively slower decrease of the specific area and the volume of the pores upon calcination.

Investigation of the self-heating phenomenon in the bulk polymerization of acrylonitrile

The temperature of the polymerizing system was measured with a thermistor during the bulk polymerization of acrylonitrile initiated by azoisobutyronitrile. The temperature of self-heating suddenly rises at a conversion of about 2%. This jump of temperature is presumably caused by the formation of a gel structure and, consequently, the outfall of thermal convection within the system.

Effects of admixtures of potassium bromide on the thermal decomposition of potassium bromate

The effects of admixtures of potassium bromide (2.5% and 5%) on the thermal decomposition of potassium bromate were studied within the temperature range 653–683 K. The fraction decomposed() vs. time (t) relations revealed (i) initial gas evolution, (ii) acceleratory and (iii) decay steps. The data were analysed on the basis of the first-order law with two rate constantsk ₁ andk ₂,k ₁ being the rate constant for the initial, slow first-order process (0.02, 0.26), andk ₂ being the rate constant for the subsequent faster process, holding within the range 0.21 to 0.98. Upon increase of the concentration of added potassium bromide to 5%, the range for the slow and faster processes became 0.01 to 0.16 and 0.1 to 0.98, respectively. At a given temperature,k ₁ increased with increasing bromide concentration, whereask ₂ almost identical for pure potassium bromate and its mixtures (2.5% and 5% bromide).

Zusammenfassung Im Temperaturbereich von 653–683 K wurde der Einfluß von Beimengen von Kaliumbromid (2,5% und 5%) auf die thermische Zersetzung von Kaliumbromat untersucht. Die Funktion der zersetzten Menge () in Abhängigkeit von der Zeit (t) weist eine anfängliche Gasentwicklung(i), eine beschleunigte(ii) und eine abklingende Stufe(iii) auf. Die Daten wurden auf der Grundlage einer Kinetik erster Ordnung mit den zwei Geschwindigkeitskonstantenk ₁ undk ₂ durchgeführt, wobeik ₁ die Geschwindigkeitskonstante für den einleitenden, langsameren Schritt erster Ordnung ist (0,02, 0,26) undk ₂ die Geschwindigkeitskonstante für den darauffolgenden schnelleren Vorgang mit Werten zwischen 0,21 und 0,98. Bei Erhöhung der Konzentration von Kaliumbromid auf 5% betrug der Bereich für den langsameren und den schnelleren Vorgang 0,01 bis 0,16 bzw. 0,10 bis 0,98. Bei gegebener Temperatur steigtk ₁ mit zunehmender Kaliumbromidkonzentration an, währendk ₂ für reines Kaliumbromat und seine Mischungen mit 2,5% und 5% Kaliumbromid fast identisch bleibt.

Hydrogen pressure dependence of the reaction of neopentane with hydrogen over Pd/SiO2 and Pt/SiO2 catalysts

H₂ pressure influences in different ways the reaction rates of neopentane conversion over Pd/SiO₂ and Pt/SiO₂ catalysts. It seems that on Pt/SiO₂ both isomerization and hydrogenolysis involve a common surface intermediate (probably an adalkyl), whereas on Pd/SiO₂ the hydrogenolysis goes via more dehydrogenated species than those involved in isomerization.
