Glass transition and crystallization effects demonstrated by thermal analysis of liquid-quenched ternary glasses Te80Ge20−xA x V (AV=Sb,Bi)

In DSC studies of liquid-quenched ternary chalcogenide glasses Te₈₀Ge_20–xA _x ^V (A^V=Sb, Bi), the characteristic temperatures (glass transition and crystallization temperatures) were determined. Changes in the thermal stabilities of these glasses, depending on the element A (Sb, Bi) from group V of the periodic table and on its content in the alloy were evaluated. Moreover, the effect of changes in the glass composition on the glass formation ability expressed by the parameter K_g1 was determined.

Crystallization kinetics of LDPE/Ny6 blends

The crystallization behaviour of low density polyethylene/nylon 6 blends has been investigated as a function of the composition.The melting points of the polymers are almost uninfluenced by the presence of the other homopolymers except for blends with a nylon content of 75–90%.Blends with 10% nylon content do not exhibit the crystallization peak during the cooling step probably because of the low concentration and high viscosity of the low density polyethylene matrix.The crystallinity degree of the polyethylene is independent of the composition, while some variations are shown by the polyamide.Finally the rate of nucleation is strongly affected by the composition, in particular for the nylon phase.

Zusammenfassung Die Abhängigkeit des Kristallisationsverhaltens von 6 Polyethylen/Nylon-Gemischen geringer Dichte von der Zusammensetzung wurde untersucht. Der Schmelzpunkt eines jeden Polymers ist nahezu unbeeinflußt von der Anwesenheit des anderen Homopolymers ausgenommen die Gemische mit einem Nylongehalt von 75–90%. Die Gemische mit einem Gehalt von 10% Nylon zeigen während des Abkühlungsschrittes keinen Kristallisationspeak, was wahrscheinlich auf die niedrige Konzentration und auf die hohe Viskosität der Polyethylenmatrix mit geringer Dichte zurückzuführen ist. Der Kristallinitätsgrad des Polyethylens ist unabhängig von der Zusammensetzung, während ein Einfluß des Polyamids festzustellen ist. Die Keimbildungsgeschwindigkeit ist stark von der Zusammenstzung abhängig, was besonders für die Nylonphase gilt.

Continuous recording of the X-ray diffraction pattern during catalysis: Methanol on molybdenum trioxide

Using a modified Guinier-Lenne camera, the X-ray diffraction pattern of a solid catalyst at work was continuously recorded on a photographic film. During methanol catalysis on a high area orthorhombic MoO₃ sample, no phase change is observed in the presence of oxygen at 200 °C (30 h); under the same conditons, but without oxygen, MoO₃ is converted within 2 h to the bronze H_xMoO₃ (x=0.6).

Synthesis and thermal studies of metal salts of 2,4, N-trinitroanilinoacetic acid

Copper(II), silver(I) and lead(II) salts of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-N-nitroglycine were prepared and characterised. The thermal behaviour of the salts in air and nitrogen atmospheres was studied by means of DTA and TG techniques. The environment appeared to have no effect on the mode of decomposition. While metal oxides are formed as the end-products of decomposition of the copper and lead salts, metallic silver plus carbon was found to be final product from the silver salt. The thermal stabilities of these salts follow the sequence silver salt>lead salt>copper salt.

Mittels DTA- und TG-Techniken in Luft- und Stickstoffatmosphäre wurde das thermische Verhalten der Salze untersucht. Die Umgebung scheint auf die Art der Zersetzung keinen Einfluß zu besitzen. Zersetzungsendprodukte der Kupfer ui I Bleisalze sind Metalloxide, Zersetzungsendprodukte des Silbersalzes sind elementares Silber und Kohlenstoff. Die Wärmestabilität dieser Salze sinkt in der Reihenfolge Silbersalt — Bleisalz — Kupfersalz.

Limitations of evaluation methods for inhibited oxidation of hydrocarbons in the liquid phase. Expressions based on oxygen consumption

Three equations based on oxygen consumption data by which the rate coefficient of the reaction between peroxy radicals and inhibitor molecules can be calculated has been investigated. It was found that these equations do not give acceptable results and that the entire oxygen uptake vs. time curve is necessary for the determination of this rate coefficient.

Mechanism of methane photooxidation on V/SiO2 catalyst

CH₄ photooxidation on V/SiO₂ catalyst in the presence of gaseous oxygen has been studied by the mass-spectometric method. It has been established that CO₂ forms due to the interaction of CH₄ with surface oxygen anions bonded to vanadium ions. Photodecomposition of V⁴⁺O ₂ ^– species formed in O₂ adsorption on reduced vanadium ions leads to the reoxidation of the latter.

Dissociative adsorption of oxygen and hydrogen, and the formation of hydroxyl groups on the surface of Cu, Ag, Ni, Pd and Pt

By the semi-empirical interacting bonds method, the heats of oxygen and hydrogen adsorption in a dissociative form on the (100) face of Cu, Ag, Ni, Pd and Pt have been calculated. It has been shown that most stable are the multiply bonded adsorption forms. For the different bonding states, the heat of hydroxyl group formation from O₂ and H₂ varies but slightly. The calculated values are compared with the experimental data.

Interaction of ammonia with the surface of Cr?Mo and Cr?Mo?Te oxide catalysts

The adsorption of NH₃ on Cr–Mo and Cr–Mo–Te catalysts has been investigated by IR spectroscopy. It is shown that there are both electron acceptor and proton donor acid centers on the surface of these catalysts. The introduction of tellurium into a Cr–Mo catalyst decreases adsorption on the electron acceptor centers.

State of Sn in Pt-Sn-alumina catalyst: XPS study

XPS examination of reduced Pt-Sn-alumina catalysts showed that a portion of the tin was present in the zerovalent state; this is in contrast to XPS data published previously. It appears from the XPS Sn(O) and Pt(O) areas that the composition of the PtSn alloy, if present, becomes richer in Sn as the Pt:Sn ratio varies from 11 to 18.

Problems of non-linear theory in differential scanning calorimetry

The problems of DSC non-linear theory, connected with the dependence of the thermophysical parameters upon the temperature, are discussed. The changes in thle form of the thermal energy curve recorded by the device as results of the thermaconductivity jump and heat capacity shift taken into account in the course of transformation are shown. A correct non-linear DSC model is formulated. The mather matical apparatus and some simplifying notions for calculation with the non-lineamodel are suggested.

Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag erörtert das Problem der nicht-linearen DSC-Theorie im Zusammenhang mit der Abhängigkeit der thermophysikalischen Parameter von der Temperatur. Die Änderungen der durch das Gerät registrierten Form der Wärme-Kraft-Kurve rühren, wie gezeigt wird, von einer jähen Änderung der Wärmeleitfähigkeit her und Änderungen der Wärmekapazität spielen im Laufe des Prozesses ebenfalls mit. Ein korrektes nicht-lineares DSC-Modell wird formuliert. Der mathematische Apparat und einige vereinfachende Begriffe zur Errechnung des nicht-linearen Modells werden vorgeschlagen. Als Beispiel wird die Interpretation einer kalorimetrischen Kurve eines adiabatischen Scanning-Mikrokalorimeters gegeben, das den Vor-Übergangs-Bereich von Temperaturen erfaßt.

On montre que les variations de forme de la courbe enregistrée par l'instrument résultent d'un saut de conductibilité thermique et d'un changement de chaleur spécifique lors de la transformation. On donne un modèle correct de DSC non linéaire. On propose un traitement mathématique et quelques notions simplificatrices pour le calcul du modèle non linéaire. On donne comme exemple l'interprétation d'une courbe; calorimétrique fournie par un analyseur microcalorimétrique adiabatique, dans le domaine de température précédant la transition.

Formation of nitrogen oxides during the oxidation of nitromethane on copper-chromium catalyst

Principles of the oxidation of nitromethane on a 30% CuCr₂O₄/-Al₂O₃ catalyst over the temperature range from 210 to 485 °C have been studied. The conversion of bound nitrogen to oxides depends on initial concentrations of nitromethane and oxygen in the range corresponding to the complete conversion of nitromethane (350–485 °C). The composition of oxidation products is determined by the oxygen to nitromethane ratio.

Gas phase elimination reaction of ethylbromoacetate

Ethylbromoacetate was pyrolyzed in a static system and seasoned vessels at temperatures between 339.3 °C–353.3 °C and pressures between 53–166.4 Torr. The rate constant for the homogeneous unimolecular elimination is given by the following Arrhenius equation: log k₁(s^–1)=(12.62±1.01)–(195.7±9.7) kJ/mol/2.303 RT. In comparing the -bromo substituent with the -chloro one in alkyl -monohaloacetates, the former shows about the same rate as the latter. The lack of a very significant difference in rates may be due to their similar electron withdrawing effect under these reaction conditions.
