Carbon Dioxide Measurements with and without Barium Peroxide in Electrolytic Studies with and without a Supporting Electrolyte

Abstract

This research deals with the quantitative formation of carbon dioxide in electrolytic oxidation reactions. The electrolytic reactions were run with barium peroxide to generate the superoxide anion at the anode. With the organic compounds used in these electrolytic studies we needed to develop a method where we could determine the amount of carbon dioxide liberated from these compounds with the superoxide anion. This method degasses an acidified solution with dry nitrogen, which carries the carbon dioxide to a standard solution of sodium hydroxide. Titration of the sodium hydroxide solution with standardized hydrochloric acid revealed the amount of carbon dioxide formed in the reaction after precipitation of the carbonate ions with barium chloride. Blank runs with the apparatus using anhydrous sodium carbonate produced 99% plus results of recovered carbon dioxide from the sodium carbonate.     

聚丁二酸丁二酯的无卤阻燃性能的研究

本文研究了聚苯基膦酸二苯砜酯(PSPPP)对聚丁二酸丁二酯(PBS)的阻燃作用。研究发现,在PBS中仅添加4wt%的PSPPP,其垂直燃烧就可以达到UL-94 V-0级,极限氧指数达到34,PSPPP对PBS表现出高效阻燃作用。然而,PSPPP对PBS有促进降解的作用,破坏了PBS的力学性能。通过在PBS/PSPPP体系中添加0.5wt%氧化锌后,有效抑制了PBS的降解,力学性能得到改善。

BaO∙4B2O3∙5H2O纳米材料的制备及其对聚丙烯阻燃性能的热分解动力学方法评价

Borate is considered one of the most important additives for improving the fire-resistance of combustible polymers because of its smoke suppression, low toxicity, and good thermal stability. However, the size of prepared borate is usually in the micrometer range, which makes it difficult to disperse in a polymer matrix, thus hindering its use as fire-retardant material. The preparation and application of borate nanomaterial as flame retardant is considered an effective method. However, the preparation of barium borate nanomaterials as flame retardant has not been reported. In this paper, nanosheets and nanoribbons with different sizes for a new barium borate BaO·4B₂O₃·5H₂O are prepared by hydrothermal method, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The flame-retardant properties of polypropylene (PP)/BaO·4B₂O₃·5H₂O composites are investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermal analysis methods and limited oxygen index (LOI) method. Considering the near TG mass losses and the near LOI values for PP with 10% prepared BaO·4B₂O₃·5H₂O nanosheet and nanoribbon, their flame-retardant properties need to be further evaluated by non-isothermal decomposition kinetic method. The apparent activation energy for this decomposition reaction was obtained from the slope by plotting ln(β/T_p²) against 1/T_p according to Kissinger's model. With the reduction of TG mass loss, increased heat absorption in DSC under N₂ atmosphere, increased apparent activation energy E_a for the thermal decomposition of PP/BaO·4B₂O₃·5H₂O composite as well as increased LOI value, the flame-retardant performance of prepared BaO·4B₂O₃·5H₂O samples with PP gradually improved from bulk to nanoribbon to nanosheet. This can be attributed to the decrease in the size of BaO·4B₂O₃·5H₂O samples because the smaller sample size leads to improved dispersion and increased contact area with the polymer. The flame-retardant mechanism is discussed by analyzing the after-flame chars of the PP/BaO·4B₂O₃·5H₂O composite in SEM images, which show that the char layer is more compact and continuous for the PP/BaO·4B₂O₃·5H₂O nanosheet composite. The influence of loading BaO·4B₂O₃·5H₂O nanomaterials on the mechanical properties of PP is also tested using a universal material testing machine, in which the PP/BaO·4B₂O₃·5H₂O nanosheet composite has higher tensile strength. The PP/BaO·4B₂O₃·5H₂O nanosheet composite has the best flame-retardant and mechanical properties, which is promising to be developed for the application as flame-retardant material.     

Phase evolution of a barium tin 1,2-ethanediolato complex to barium stannate during thermal decomposition

The thermal behaviour of [Ba(C₂H₆O₂)₄][Sn(C₂H₄O₂)₃] used as a BaSnO₃ precursor, and its phase evolution during thermal decomposition are described. The initially formed transient barium tin oxycarbonate phase disintegrates into BaCO₃ and SnO₂, reacting subsequently to BaSnO₃. The existence of the intermediate oxycarbonate phase is evidenced by Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS (ELNES)) investigations.

Thermodynamic properties of the gaseous barium silicates BaSiO2 and BaSiO3

In the present study, the stability of gaseous barium silicates was confirmed by the high temperature mass spectrometry. On the basis of equilibrium constants measured for gas-phase reactions, the standard formation enthalpies were determined for gaseous barium silicates as (−510 ± 15) kJ · mol⁻¹ and (−884 ± 18) kJ · mol⁻¹ at 298 K; standard atomization enthalpies as (1637 ± 17) kJ · mol⁻¹ and (2318 ± 20) kJ · mol⁻¹ at 298 K for BaSiO₂ and BaSiO₃, respectively. Based on the results obtained the critical analysis of the literature data was carried out.     

A re-investigation of the crystal structure and luminescence of BaCa2MgSi2O8:Eu

Barium calcium magnesium silicate (BaCa₂MgSi₂O₈), a compound whose space group was obtained via X-ray diffraction data, was re-investigated using neutron diffraction techniques. A combined powder X-ray and neutron Rietveld method revealed that BaCa₂MgSi₂O₈ crystallizes in the trigonal space group P3? (Z=1, a=5.42708(5) Å, c=6.79455(7) Å, V=173.310(4) Å³; R_p/R_wp=5.52%/7.63%), instead of the previously believed space group P3?m1. The difference in the two structures arises from the displacement of the O2 atom. Blue emission from Ba_0.98Eu_0.02Ca₂MgSi₂O₈ under 325-nm excitation is ascribed to the 4f⁶5d¹→4f⁷ transitions of Eu²⁺ ions at Ba sites and Ca sites. Site assignment of Eu²⁺ ions in the titled compound was performed by analysis of emission spectra at temperatures in the range of 4.2-300 K.     

Zur Kristallchemie eines neuen Barium-Lanthanoid-Oxozinkats: Ba2Er2Zn8O13

On the Crystal Chemistry of a New Barium Rare-Earth Oxozincate: Ba₂Er₂Zn₈O₁₃ High temperature reactions led to single crystals of Ba₂Er₂Zn₈O₁₃. It crystallizes with orthorhombic symmetry, space group C¹²_2v? Cmc2₁, a = 6.276, b = 10.871, c = 10.195 Å, Z = 2. The hitherto unknown crystal structure shows Zn²⁺ with tetrahedral, Er³⁺ octahedral and Ba²⁺ cuboctahedral coordination by O^2?. It will be shown that parts of the [Zn₈O₁₃] network are fragments of the ZnO structure showing O^2? within a tetrahedral zinc coordination. A deficit of two O^2? ions per unit cell is focused on two point positions.
