The pyrolysis of polymers and identification of the soot adsorbed components

Various polymers like polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide 6 and polypropylene were burnt in an open flame furnace according to DIN 4102. The generated soot particles were collected on glass fiber filters followed by elution with tolouene. A great part of the soot extract adsorbed compounds could be identified by means of gaschromatographic and mass spectrometric analysis. For polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene mainly aromatic combustion products like naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene and chrysene were detected in contrast to polyethylene and polypropylene which form aliphatic and olefinic products. In the chromatograms these components are often interfered by superimposition of the aromatics. The extractions of the sample receiver with nitromethane lead to the separation of the aromatic — from the aliphatic compounds. Monomeric and dimeric-caprolactam were mainly formed by burning polyamide 6.

Zusammenfassung Verschiedene Kunststoffe wie zum Beispiel Polyethylen, Polyvinylchlorid, Polyamid 6 und Polypropylen wurden in offener Flamme in 'Anlehnung an DIN 4102 verbrannt. Die dabei entstehenden Russpartikel wurden auf Glasfaserfiltern gesammelt und mit Toluol extrahiert. Durch gaschromatographische und massenspektrometrische Untersuchungen konnten die Hauptbestandteile des Russextraktes analysiert werden. Bei Polyvinylchlorid und Polystyrol handelt es sich vorwiegend um aromatische Verbindungen, wie zum Beispiel Naphthalin, Phenanthren, Pyren und Chrysen. Die Hauptkomponenten des extrahierten Russes von Polyethylen und Polypropylen bestanden aus aliphatischen und olefinischen Produkten, die im Chromatogramm die aromatischen überdeckten. Durch Ausschütteln der Probenvorlage mit Nitromethan konnte eine Trennung der aromatischen von den aliphatischen erreicht werden. Bei der thermischen Zersetzung von Polyamid 6 wurden als Hauptabbauprodukte das Mono und Dimere des -Caprolactams gebildet.

Thermal analysis of phenolic resin based pyropolymers

The formation and thermal behaviour of pyropolymers based on novolak resin synthesized under carefully controlled processing conditions have been studied by various thermoanalytical techniques. A suitable reaction scheme has been proposed for the formation of these pyropolymers. Only a small (3–8%) weight loss has been observed up to 800 °C in static air. DTA curves confirmed multistage exothermic processes predominantly due to two different linkages which control their thermo/thermo-oxidative stability. Hot metal filtration (700 °C) in an inert atmosphere exhibited only negligible weight loss.

Zusammenfassung Mittels verschiedener thermoanalytischer Verfahren wurde Bildung und thermisches Verhalten von Pyropolymeren auf Novolackbasis unter streng geregelten Reaktionsbedingungen untersucht. Zur Bildung dieser Pyropolymere wurde ein geeignetes Reaktionsschema entwickelt. In unbewegter Luftatmosphäre kann bis 800 °C nur ein geringer (3–8%) Gewichtsverluft beobachtet werden. Die DTA-Kurven zeigen einen exothermen Mehrstufenprozeß, der hauptsächlich auf zwei verschiedene Verkettungen zurückzuführen ist, welche die thermische/thermisch-oxidative Stabilität bestimmen.

Crown ether salt catalysis of ester aminolysis in an aprotic solvent

The RCO ₂ ^– catalyzed n-butylaminolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate in chlorobenzene has been studied. Logarithms of the catalytic rate constants can be linearly correlated with Taft polar substituent constants for the R groups. Product analysis as well as the lack of steric hindrance by bulky R substituents indicate that the carboxylates act as general base catalysts.

Role of transition metals during p-xylene oxidation in aqueous system

The role of transition metals in the mechanism of p-xylene oxidation has been studied in aqueous systems at 140°C and 1.0 MPa of oxygen. The reaction proceeds according to second-order kinetics in p-xylene concentration for all metals and of <0.5 order with respect to metal concentration. For the metals studied the apparent activation energies are almost the same. The results support our previous assumption that (i) the rate-determining propagation step of p-xylene oxidation in aqueous systems does not involve metal ions, (ii) direct oxidation of p-xylene by higher valent metals does not play any significant role.

Differential scanning calorimetry study of reactions of phenyl glycidyl ether with phosphoric acid

The reactions of phenyl glycidyl ether (PGE) with phosphoric acid in three molar ratios have been studied by means of DSC alone. The results obtained from isothermal measurements are as follows:H=–91.0 kJ/mole PGE(1:1 molar ratio);H=–100.5 kj/mole PGE (1:2/3 molar ratio).The DSC curves obtained from dynamic experiments are multipeaked and giveHvalues higher than those obtained from isothermal measurements. These results can be explained by taking into account the acid concentration, the different reactivities of the hydrogens of the phosphoric acid and the possibility that secondary reactions occur.

Zusammenfassung Die Reaktion von Phenylglycidyläther (PGE) mit Phosphorsäure wurde bei drei verschiedenen molaren Verhältnissen allein mittels DSC untersucht. Isotherme Messungen ergaben folgende Werte:H=–91.0kJ/mol PGE (molares Verhältnis 1:1);H=–100.5 kJ/mol PGE (molares Verhältnis 3:2). Die bei dynamischen Experimenten erhaltenen DSC-Kurven weisen viele Peaks auf und ergebenH-Werte, die größer als die durch isotherme Messungen erhaltenen sind. Diese Ergebnisse können erklärt werden, wenn die Säurekonzentration, die unterschiedliche Reaktivität der Wasserstoffatome der Phosphorsäure und die Möglichkeit des Verlaufs sekundärer Reaktionen in Rechnung gestellt werden.

Effects of drying conditions on thermal decomposition behaviour of UO3 gel microspheres

The effects of the drying conditions on the thermal behaviour of UO₃ gel microspheres were studied by TG, DTA and X-ray examination. The effects of drying with air, steam or alcohol on the crystal structure and crystallite size were also studied. The results indicate that the thermal decomposition of UO₃ gel microspheres involves five steps: the first two for dehydration, the third for ammonia release, the fourth for ammonia oxidation, and the last one for UO₃ recrystallization. It was also found that the crystal growth varied from 110 Å after air drying to 512 Å and 496 Å after steam and alcohol treatment, respectively.

Ebenfalls wurden die Auswirkungen der Trocknung mit Luft, Dampf und Alkohol auf die Kristallstruktur und die Kristallitgröße untersucht. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, daß die thermische Zersetzung der UO₃-Gelmikrokugeln in 5 Schritten verläuft: die ersten zwei sind Dehydratisierungsprozessen, der dritte der Freisetzung und der vierte der Oxydation von Ammoniak und der letzte der Rekristallisation des UO₃ zuzuschreiben. Die Kristallitgröße variiert zwischen 110 Å nach Lufttrocknung und 512 bzw. 496 Å nach Trocknung mit Dampf bzw. Alkohol.

IR study of interaction of propylene at CoO-MgO and CoO-MoO3-MgO surfaces

IR spectra of propylene adsorbed in CoO-MgO and CoO-MgO-MoO₃ solid solutions show that a surface -complex with Co²⁺ ions is formed, strongly bonded in the former case and weakly in the latter. Thus, introduction of Mo strongly modifies the catalytic properties of Co²⁺ active centers. In the presence of oxygen, allylic species, aldehyde and carboxylate complexes appear.
