The gaseous products, volatile condensed products and solid residues were identified by NMR and MS. Based on the product of thermal decomposition, the mechanism of thermal decomposition has been derived.

Thermal decomposition reactions of solids controlled by diffusion and phase-boundary processes: possible misinterpretation of the mechanism from thermogravimetric data

A comparative study of phase -boundary and diffusion-controlled reactions has been carried out using thermogravimetric data. The results reported support the hypothesis that a single TG diagram does not allow the determination of whether a solid decomposition reaction is controlled by a diffusion mechanism or governed by the movement of an interface coming from a nucleation process. However, the analysis of both a single TG diagram and an isothermal curve might be a quick and valid way for discerning between these mechanisms. These statements are confirmed by studying the thermal decomposition kinetics of Ba(OH)₂ and CaCO₃.     

Thermal behavior of ammonium perchlorate and metal powders of different grades

The effects of aluminum (Al) and nickel (Ni) powders of various grain sizes on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) were investigated by TG and DSC in a dynamic nitrogen atmosphere. The TG results show that Al powders have no effect on the thermal decomposition of AP at conventional grain size, while the nanometer-sized Ni powders (n-Ni) have a great influence on the thermal decomposition of AP with conventional and superfine grain size. The results obtained by DSC and an in situ FTIR analysis of the solid residues confirmed the promoting effects of n-Ni. The effects of n-Ni have been ascribed to its enhancement on the gas phase reactions during the second step decomposition of conventional grain size AP.     

Thermodynamic properties and thermal stability of the synthetic zinc formate dihydrate

Zinc formate dihydrate has been synthesized and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, FTIR spectra and thermal analysis. The molar heat capacity of the coordination compound was measured by a temperature modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC) over the temperature range from 200 to 330 K for the first time. The thermodynamic parameters such as entropy and enthalpy vs. 298.15 K based on the above molar heat capacity were calculated. The thermal decomposition characteristics of this compound were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). TG curve showed that the thermal decomposition occurred in two stages. The first step was the dehydration process of the coordination compound, and the second step corresponded to the decomposition of the anhydrous zinc formate. The apparent activation energy of the dehydration step of the compound was calculated by the Kissinger method using experimental data of TG analysis. There are three sharply endothermic peaks in the temperature range from 300 to 650 K in DSC curve.     

Preparation, crystal structure, and thermolysis of phenylenediammonium diperchlorate salts

Three salts of phenylenediammonium diperchlorate have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Their thermal decomposition has been studied by thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and explosion delay (DE) measurements. The kinetics of thermal decomposition was evaluated by model fitting and isoconversional methods using TG data. The oxidation-reduction reactions near the surface of thermolysing perchlorates may be responsible for the decomposition followed by explosion. The possible pathways of thermolysis have also been proposed.     

Thermoanalytical study of inner and outer residue of coffee harvest

The better use of agricultural residues is expected, when they are mostly disposed of improperly and it is often burned in the natural environment. This study of the thermal decomposition of residues was performed from the coffee crop for energy purposes and in this case was used thermal analysis techniques for such assessment. The TG/DTG and DSC curves showed that the thermal decomposition occurs in four consecutive events and it is predominantly exothermic. The first mass loss evidenced in TG/DTG curves has an endothermic peak in DSC curve, which it can be associated with the water liberation of the material. This first thermal event also can be related to the liberation of volatile compounds present in the sample, which is also corroborated by the endothermic peak. The other events of mass loss are related with the thermal decomposition of the material. This decomposition has an exothermic behavior, which is positively applied to the main aim of this scientific research: the coffee straw use like biomass energy font. The thermoanalytical techniques were satisfactory in the characterization of this material.     

Reactivity analysis of ammonium dinitramide binary mixtures based on ab initio calculations and thermal analysis

Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) is a promising high energy oxidizer for rocket propellants because it offers a good oxygen balance and has a significant energy content. As a result, ADN-based energetic ionic liquid propellants (EILPs) have been studied, based on ADN combined with urea and monomethyl ammonium nitrate (MMAN). The thermal decomposition of ADN in the condensed phase affects the combustion of both pure ADN and ADN-based EILPs; thus, it is important to understand the reactions of EILPs in the condensed phase. The present study assessed the reactivity of ADN mixtures in the condensed phase, focussing on hydrogen abstraction reactions with NO₂· formed from the thermal decomposition of ADN. The potential energy surfaces of these reactions were obtained using ab initio calculations. The effects of functional groups and of carbon chain length on hydrogen abstraction by NO₂· were examined. Mixtures of ADN with urea and acetamide (AA) as amide compounds, and with MMAN and monoethanol amine nitrate (MEAN) as nitrate salts, were examined. Thermal analysis was conducted to investigate the properties of these mixtures, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The calculation results shows that AA and MEAN are more reactive with ADN than urea and MMAN, which is supported by the DSC data. Hydrogen abstraction by NO₂· is evidently an important condensed phase reaction in ADN mixtures, and substances having alkyl groups and longer carbon chains are more highly reactive.

     

Sulfonation of arylamines: Part 12. Kinetics of thermal decomposition of dimethylanilinium sulfates

Three dimethylanilinium sulfates (DMAS) have been prepared and characterised by elemental and spectral studies. Thermal decomposition of these salts has been studied by TG and simultaneous TG-DTG technique and kinetic parameters were evaluated from both dynamic and isothermal TG data using mechanism based kinetic equations. The thermal decomposition pathways have also been suggested and it has been found that DMAS salts give dimethyl aminobenzenesulfonic acids (DMABSA) via solid state reaction. The primary step in the thermal decomposition involves proton transfer followed by sulfonation.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Studies on kinetics and mechanism of initial thermal decomposition of nitrocellulose

The thermal decomposition of nitrocellulose (NC) 12.1% N, has been studied with regard to kinetics, mechanism, morphology and the gaseous products thereof, using thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and hot stage microscopy. The kinetics of the initial stage of thermolysis ofNC in condensed state has been investigated by isothermal high temperature infrared spectroscopy (IR). The decomposition ofNC in KBr matrix in the temperature range of 142–151°C shows rapid decrease in O?NO₂ band intensity, suggesting that the decomposition of NC occurs by the rupture of O?NO₂ bond. The energy of activation for this process has been determined with the help of Avrami-Erofe'ev equation (n=1) and is ≈188.35 kJ·mol^?1. Further, the IR spectra of the decomposition products in the initial stage of thermal decomposition ofNC, indicates the presence of mainly NO₂ gas and aldehyde.

Effect of the thermal treatment conditions on the formation of zinc ferrite nanocomposite, ZnFe2O4, by sol–gel method

Zinc ferrite nanocomposite was synthesized via thermal decomposition of zinc acetate and iron nitrate at three different temperatures (350, 450, and 550 °C). The influence of the thermal decomposition of precursors on the formation zinc ferrites was studied by differential thermal gravimetry and thermogravimetry (TG). The TG curve shows two steps for the thermal decomposition with mass loss of 17.3 % at 78 °C and 63.3 % at 315 °C. The prepared zinc ferrites nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The X-ray diffractograms of ZnFe₂O₄ shows that a crystalline phase, spinel system is formed. SEM micrograph of the zinc ferrite nanocomposite indicates the formation of uniformly spherical 48-nm nanograins. The properties of the zinc ferrite phase were strongly dependent on their calcinations temperature and molar ratio of precursors.     

Heat capacities and thermodynamic properties of MgBTC

A novel two-dimensional metal organic framework MgBTC [MgBTC(OCN)₂·2H₂O, where BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate] has been synthesized solvothermally and characterized by single crystal XRD, powder XRD, FT-IR spectra. The low-temperature molar heat capacities of MgBTC were measured by temperature modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC) over the temperature range from 190 to 350 K for the first time. No phase transition or thermal anomaly was observed in the experimental temperature range. The thermodynamic parameters of MgBTC such as entropy and enthalpy relative to reference temperature of 298.15 K were derived based on the above molar heat capacities data. Moreover, the thermal stability and decomposition of MgBTC was further investigated through thermogravimetry (TG)-mass spectrometer (MS). Four stages of mass loss were observed in the TG curve. TG-MS curve indicated that the products of oxidative degradation of MgBTC are H₂O, N₂, CO₂ and CO. The powder XRD showed that the mixture after TG contains MgO and graphite.     

Infrared and thermal studies of strontium zirconyl oxalate hexahydrate

Strontium zirconyl oxalate hexahydrate (SZO) is prepared and characterized by chemical analysis and IR spectral studies. Its thermal decomposition studies have been made using thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The decomposition has been found to proceed through three major steps (i) a three stage dehydration, (ii) decomposition of the oxalate and (iii) decomposition of carbonate to strontium zirconate. Carbon dioxide is found to be trapped in the solid during the decomposition of the oxalate. The identification of residues at various stages has been done by IR spectra and chemical analysis.

The results for 18 of the drugs were in good agreement with those calculated from the formulation.     

Influences of aging on thermal decomposition mechanism of high performance oxidizer ammonium dinitramide

Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) is one of the several promising new solid propellant oxidizers. ADN is of interest because its oxygen balance and energy content are high, and it also halogen-free. One of the most important characteristics of a propellant oxidizer, however, is stability and ADN is known to degrade to ammonium nitrate (AN) during storage, which will affect its performance. This study focused on the effects of aging on the thermal decomposition mechanism of ADN. The thermal behaviors of ADN and ADN/AN mixtures were studied, as were the gases evolved during their decomposition, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis-infrared spectrometry (TG–DTA-IR), and thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis-mass spectrometry (TG–DTA-MS). The results of these analyses demonstrated that the decomposition of ADN occurs via a series of distinct stages in the condensed phase. The gases evolved from ADN decomposition were N₂O, NO₂, N₂, and H₂O. In contrast, ADN mixed with AN (to simulate aging) did not exhibit the same initial reaction. We conclude that aging inhibits early stage, low temperature decomposition reactions of ADN. Two possible reasons were proposed, these being either a decrease in the acidity of the material due to the presence of AN, or inhibition of the acidic dissociation of dinitramic acid by NO ₃ ^? .
