Abstract Asbestos is one of the materials causing ecological stress. Due to its health harmfulness, an effective, ecological, and economic decomposition is highly desirable. One of the decomposition possibilities is a chemical decomposition, which could compete with commonly used thermal decomposition. The chemical decomposition can be accomplished both with the use of pure chemicals and waste chemicals from production technologies. This work deals with the use of technological wastes containing hydrofluoric acid or fluorides. Fluorides release hydrofluoric acid in the acid medium, which acts as the main decomposition medium. The source of fluorides was waste from the glass and metallic material industry. The efficiency of degradation processes was studied by mass analysis. Materials and decomposition products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction.

Diffusion and solubility of sulphur have important effects on the degassing of silicate melts. Both properties are closely related to the structural incorporation of sulphur in the melt. Depending on the oxygen fugacity, sulphur can be present as sulphide (S2-), sulphite (S4+) or sulphate (S6+). Sulphates play an important role in the industrial production of glasses especially in the fining process. The decomposition products of sulphate amass in bubbles which ascend and homogenize the melt. Structural incorporation of sulphur in glasses is studied by XANES (X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopy). Diffusion of sulphur is investigated in simple silicate systems using the diffusion couple technique. First diffusion profiles were measured in sodium trisilicate glasses by electron microprobe. The results indicate that sulphur diffusivity in high temperature melts is close to the Eyring diffusivity calculated from viscosity data.

Effects of hydrofluoric acid (HF) treatment on the properties of Y–Ba–Cu–O oxides were investigated. No obvious etching of bulk Y–Ba–Cu–O and no degradation of zero resistance temperature were observed even though the oxides were placed into 49% HF solution for up to 20 h. Surface passivation of Y–Ba–Cu–O due to HF immersion was verified by subsequent immersion of Y–Ba–Cu–O in water. A thin layer of amorphous fluoride formed on the surface of the Y–Ba–Cu–O during HF treatment, which limited further reaction between Y–Ba–Cu–O and HF, and later reaction with water. Thin film Y–Ba–Cu–O was passivated by HF vapors and showed no degradation in Tc-zero after 30 min immersion in water. The properties of the surface layer of Y–Ba–Cu–O oxide after HF treatment are reported from Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy studies.

Thermal behavior of the complexes Pd2(dppm)2Cl2, Pd2(dppm)2(SnCl3)Cl and Pd2(dppm)2(SnCl3)2 (dppm = bis[diphenylphosphino(methane)], ((C6H5)2PCH2P(C6H5)2) in the solid state and immobilized onto porous Vycor glass was studied. Similar decomposition mechanisms were observed for the solid and immobilized complexes, with a small thermal stabilization upon immobilization. The decomposition products were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, Raman and diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy, which indicated the presence of a mixture of metallic palladium and oxidized species such as PdO,condensed phosphates, SnO2 and SnP2O7. According to X-ray diffractometry, the decomposition products of the immobilized complexes presented higher amounts of PdO than the solid-state residues, probably as an effect of interactions with silanol groups present in the glass surface.

Complex mineral ammonium nitrate-based fertilizers are complex multicomponent salt systems possessing low thermal stability and prone to self-sustaining decomposition. This leads to the need to increase the requirements for fire and explosion safety in their manufacture, storage and transportation, caused by the fact that ammonium nitrate is a solid oxidant able to support a combustion, and its heating in confined space can lead to detonation. Components that make up such fertilizers can both reduce (phosphates and ammonium sulfate) and accelerate (chlorine compounds) decomposition of ammonium nitrate. Thus, the thermal stability of fertilizers based on ammonium nitrate largely depends on the ratio of the components that make up its composition or formed as a result of the chemical reaction. The simplest way to reduce the content of ammonium nitrate and increase the thermal stability of fertilizer without changing the content of essential nutrients is to increase the degree of phosphoric acid ammoniation. In this paper, the phase composition change of grade 22:11:11 nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer obtained with different ammoniation degree in the process of thermal decomposition was studied by X-ray phase analysis. To obtain this fertilizer, wet-process phosphoric acid obtained sulfuric acid attack of the Khibin apatite concentrate by a hemihydrate method is used. It is shown that an increase in the ammoniation degree has a significant effect on the exothermic decomposition of ammonium nitrate and the amount of material that is released into the gas phase. The phases formed at each stage of the decomposition are determined.Forcitation:Gorbovskiy K.G., Ryzhova A.S., Norov A.M., Pagaleshkin D.A., Kalinina V.N., Mikhaylichenko A.I.

The thermal decomposition of americium (III) -oxalate-decahydrate, americium (III)-formiate-0,2-hydrate, and americium (III) -carbonate-2-hydrate was studied by using mass spectromertic identification of gaseous decomposition products and X-ray identification of solid residues. The oxalate decomposition proceeded via four different hydration steps to the anhydrous oxalate, Am2 (C2O4)3, which decomposed to the anhydrous carbonate Am2 (CO3) 3. This, in turn, was decomposed to Am2O3 wia two intermediate carbonates Am2O (CO3) 2 and Am2O2CO3. — The decomposition of Am (HCOO)3 · 0,2 H2O proceeded to Am2O2CO3, which yielded Am2O3 on further heating. As an intermediate a formiate AmO(HCOO) seemed to be formed. The decomposition of Am2(CO3)3 · 2 H2O proceeded to the anhydrous compound, which then follows the same decomposition pattern as the anhydrous carbonate formed by decomposition of the anhydrous oxalate.

Titanium dioxide has a special feature: anatase, to rutile transformation which was considered in our investigations. It is especially important to keep anatase form of titanium dioxide for photocatalytic materials, different ceramics with tribo-chemical properties, self-cleaning coatings and self-sterilizing coatings. For that only one of the titanium dioxide forms is more suitable – anatase, which is more active but not stable, because it transforms to rutile during the time or with the temperature increase loses its activity. Different methods of stabilising anatase have been considered in the paper. Several doping agents have been determined and it was chosen fluorine ion to modify titanium dioxide. Stabilization of anatase is achieved by preparing the reaction mixture by a sol-gel method with hydrofluoric acid. It has shown thermodynamic data, results of experiment, temperatures of anatase to rutile transformation of non-doped and doped titanium dioxide, its X-Ray diffraction and TGA. It is proved that titanium dioxide doped by fluorine ion keeps anatase form till the temperature is more than 1000 °C.

AbstractCrystalline orthorhombic rare earth carbonate hydroxides Ln[CO3][OH] (Ln=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) were synthesised as phase pure powders via a simple hydrothermal reaction. CO2 from air acted as natural carbonate source and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide was added as templating agent to an aqueous rare earth nitrate solution. Single-crystal X-ray structure determination was performed on La[CO3][OH] (Pnma, a=7.4106(5), b=5.0502(3), c=8.5901(6) Å, 563 independent reflections, 38 refined parameters, wR2=0.037), Pr[CO3][OH] (Pnma, a=7.2755(4), b=4.9918(3), c=8.5207(5) Å, 744 independent reflections, 38 refined parameters, wR2=0.04), Eu[CO3][OH] (Pnma, a=7.1040(4), b=4.8940(3), c=8.4577(5) Å, 1649 independent reflections, 38 refined parameters, wR2=0.05) and Gd[CO3][OH] (Pnma, a=7.069(7), b=4.874(5), c=8.464(9) Å, 431 independent reflections, 38 refined parameters, wR2=0.051). These findings are supported by powder XRD, infrared spectroscopy, UV/Vis spectroscopy and, for Pr[CO3][OH] and Eu[CO3][OH], by measurements of the non-linear optical properties. Thermal analysis could demonstrate the possible use of the Ln[CO3][OH] phases as precursors for rare earth carbonate dioxides Ln2[CO3]O2 and rare earth oxides Ln2O3. The decomposition products inherit the precursor’s morphology. The lattice parameters of Pr2[CO3]O2 were refined from high-temperature powder XRD data.

AbstractTechniques of determining spot size and sensitivity of the instrument will be developed. Spot sizes of the order of 5 microns have been obtained with the possibility remaining for improvement- Preliminary sensitivity measurements indicate that micro-microgram quantities of some elements are sufficient to be detected. Difficulties involved in finding desired target areas will be discussed. The inhomogeneities of standard samples used for conventional fluorescense X-ray quantitative analyses precludes their use for microemission techniques at least in some cases. Possible ways of determining homogeneity will be discussed. Analysis which can be performed to advantage may be classed into several categories.1.The changes in composition occurring in grain boundaries can be detected and compared with the base material.2.An inclusion, in a metallic material can be brought under the electron probe and analyzed independently of the base material.3.Changes in composition across a boundary between solid phases can be measured.4.Diffusion coefficients between solid phases may be determined.5.Thickness of thin films and variations in film thickness can be measured.Examples of the instrument's performance will be given in some of these categories.
