Some rate data for the transfer of a deuterium atom tracer between hydrogen and water vapor, catalyzed by platinum supported on γ-alumina, are reported. Above 100 °C the transfer rate measured at 1 atm total pressure is shown to be free of mass transfer effects, and obeys an initial first order dependence on water vapor for vapor pressures less than 10 Torr. A near zero order dependence is observed at higher water vapor pressures. At temperatures below 100 °C the transfer rate is essentially independent of water vapor pressure between 5 and 100 Torr suggesting that surface adsorbed water is involved in the rate limiting transfer step.

Initial Drop

Rates of dehydration under vacuum, and at a series of controlled water vapor pressures, have been carried out for powdered samples of magnesium sulphate heptahydrate and of cobaltous chloride hexahydrate. It has been found for the magnesium salt that as the pressures are increased, the rate at first drops rapidly, this decrease being followed by a period of acceleration which is followed in turn by a decline. The curves are similar to those previously reported for copper sulphate pentahydrate, but the changes occur over a much wider range of water vapor pressures. In the dehydration of cobaltous chloride hexahydrate the initial drop in rate with increase in water vapor pressure is not observed. The results are interpreted in terms of the crystallization of intermediate products in the presence of adsorbed water.

Kinetics of the two-stage dehydration of CaSO4•2H2O have been examined under controlled water vapor pressures up to one atmosphere. For both stages water vapor initially accelerated the rate of dehydration and subsequently retarded it. Separate, temperature-dependent water vapor pressures were noted above which each stage could be suppressed.The hemihydrate was clearly defined either as a change in the rate of weight loss during dehydration or, at higher water vapor pressures, as a fixed composition. The heat of solution of the hemihydrate increased linearly with the partial water vapor pressure present during its formation, but was independent of the formation temperature over the range studied. Activation energy and pre-exponential factor for the dihydrate → hemihydrate process also increased linearly with water vapor pressure. Hemihydrates produced at the extremes of water vapor pressure corresponded to the α- and β-modifications, as defined thermodynamically, and the production of a hemihydrate series with properties varying linearly from one extreme to the other is discussed.

The thickness of the still air layer adhering to perforated plastic plates and a fabric was investigated in terms of the water vapor pressure gradient in the zone of diffusion above the samples. The water vapor pressures above the samples were determined from measurements using a temperature and relative humidity sensor. To analyze the thickness of the still air layer for a wide range of evaporation rates, the hole diameter and the number of holes per unit area were changed and the measurements were under different temperature and humidity/gradient conditions. The thickness of the still air layer corresponded to a distance of 10 mm from the sample surface and was not related to the surface construction and materials.

Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate

The two recognized forms of calcium sulfate hemihydrate can be identified by the position of a relatively small exothermic peak in their differential thermograms. Hemihydrates prepared at various water vapor pressures up to 760 mm Hg were found to produce this exothermic peak in a position which is characteristic for the β-form. These results indicate that α-hemihydrate cannot be made at atmospheric pressure, as was previously suggested on the basis of heat solution measurements. The typical differential thermogram of α-hemihydrate is only obtained with material made by dehydration in solution or by autoclaving. The effect of ambient water vapor pressure on the position of the three peaks that occur in the differential thermogram of CaSO4•2H2O has also been studied. It was found that the incipient temperature of the second endothermic peak, corresponding to the transition of hemihydrate to soluble anhydrite, is displaced independent of the rate of heating from 145 °C to 187 °C with increasing water vapor pressures up to 760 mm Hg. This indicates that, for each temperature, a threshold water vapor pressure exists, above which soluble anhydrite cannot be formed.

The adsorption on regenerated cellulose of water at vapor pressures of 0 to 40 μ Hg has been measured by an oxygen-18 dilution technique. The results showed that cellulose may be dried to less than 0.04% moisture by evacuation at 70 °C. The adsorption isotherm was compared with that of Taylor for viscose rayon.It was also shown that oxygen-18 does not exchange between cellulose and water.

ArF excimer laser pulses (193 nm, 20 ns, 150 mJ) have been focused on a hydroxyapatite (HA) target in similar conditions to those normally used for thin film deposition. Fast intensified CCD images of HA laser ablation plumes have been taken in vacuum and under different water vapor pressures ranging from 0.01 mbar to 1 mbar. Images of HA ablation in vacuum have shown a plume freely expanding at a constant velocity of 2.3 × 106 cm/s. HA ablation under a water vapor pressure of 0.01 mbar has revealed an expansion behavior very similar to that of ablation in vacuum. Images taken under a water vapor pressure of 0.1 mbar have shown the formation of a shock structure in the plume. Finally, HA ablation under a water vapor pressure of 1 mbar has revealed the development of some irregularities in the shape of the plume.

The first object was to develop an X-ray diffractometric method for the detection and quantification of crystalline sucrose when it occurs as a mixture with amorphous sucrose. Standards consisting of amorphous sucrose physically mixed with 1 to 5 weight percent crystalline sucrose were prepared. The sum of the background subtracted integrated intensities of the 12.7°2θ (6.94 Å) and 13.1°2θ (6.73 Å) sucrose diffraction peaks were linearly related to the weight percent crystalline sucrose. The limits of detection and quantitation of crystalline sucrose were 0.9% and 1.8% w/w, respectively. The second object was to study the kinetics of crystallization of sucrose as a function of temperature (at 102, 105 and 110 °C under a water vapor pressure of 0 Torr) and water vapor pressure (17.4, 19.8 and 21.4 Torr at 27 °C). In all cases, the crystallization kinetics was best described by the Avrami-Erofe’ev model (three-dimensional nucleation).
