Differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric analysis of sodium azide diluted with sodium chloride both show one major peak followed by a second minor one. This is interpreted as indicating the occurrence of two distinct decomposition processes. The activation energy of the first, major process was 36 kcal/mol, which agrees with values reported previously from measurements of the rate of nitrogen evolution. Differential thermal analysis of sodium azide mixed with alumina was complicated by the presence of variable amounts of water adsorbed on the alumina. The presence of water was shown to have an inhibiting effect on the decomposition.

The glasses with composition of Li2O . 2 SiO2 . n ZrO2 . n TiO2 (where n = 0; 0.015; 0.031; 0.050; 0.075; 0.1; 0.15; 0.2) were prepared and the relationship between structural and selected parameters of thermal stability vs. crystallization has been studied by differential thermal analysis. Structural analysis was provided by X–ray diffraction. The order of thermal stability vs. crystallization representing of activation energy of studied glass systems which increase with higher addition both oxides. The same order was obtained from the values of XRD. On the comparison the glasses with zero addition titanium dioxide their activation energy was much higher.

A research program has been completed in order to analyze structural changes during heating of amorphous alloys belonging to Fe-Ni-P system. Special attention has been given to thermodynamics and mechanism of crystallization, to determine some aspects of development for crystalline phases. Experimental material used to determine characteristics of crystallization consisted in long ribbons, 30 thick and 18 mm wide, fabricated by mean of “Planar Flow casting” as amorphous Fe42Ni38P16B4alloy. Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and X-rays diffraction have been used to determine crystallization temperature of this alloy. Curves of differential thermal analysis for heating rates ranging between 1°C/minute and 20 °C/minute have been used to determine activation energy of crystallization.

The 2-carboxybenzaldehyde-1H-benzotriazol-1-aceylhydrazone (C16H13N5O3) has been synthesized and used in preparing thirteen novel rare earth complexes. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, and UV-Vis, and the formula is RE (C16H11N5O3)·NO3·xH2O·yC2H5OH (RE=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Ho, Er, Yb) and RE(C16H12N5O3)2·NO3·5H2O (RE=Gd, Dy, Y) .The thermal decomposition processes of the thirteen complexes were studied by thermal gravimetric technology and their apparent activation energy values were calculated by Kissingers and Ozawass method.

A crystallization process in an amorphous state under isothermal condition is examined for binary alloys ZrNi and ZrNi2 by differential thermal analysis (DTA). Time dependence of DTA curves is measured at several constant temperatures just below crystallization temperature. The fraction of crystallized volume in amorphous state and its time evolution during isothermal annealing are measured. These data are analyzed by the Johnson-Mehl–Avrami formula. The Avrami exponent is 2.4±0.1 for ZrNi and 3~4 depending on the set temperature for ZrNi2. The activation energy for crystallization of amorphous ZrNi and ZrNi2 was estimated by plots of lnt1/2 vs. 1/T.

The infrared spectra of rare earth acetates have been studied to examine the metal-acetate bonding. The thermal decomposition of rare earth acetates as well as lead and copper acetates have been investigated in detail by employing thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis. Thermal decomposition of calcium dicarboxylates (malonate to sebacate) have been studied employing t.g.a. and d.t.a. Infrared spectra of the dicarboxylates have also been studied. Preliminary results on the products of decomposition of dicarboxylates have been reported.

This study examined the thermal behavior of cast gypsum specimens, with and without additives, by means of simultaneous differential thermal analysis-thermogravimetry (DTA-TG) and dilatometry. Specimens were prepared from wet-calcined hemihydrates (Hydrocal and Den-site). The additives studied were boric acid (H3BO 3) and sodium chloride (NaCl), and these were added to the hemihydrate powders in concentrations of 2 wt% (in the case of H3BO3) and 0.5 wt% (in the case of NaCl). A large shrinkage was observed in the range of 300 to 500°C, and this was greatly reduced when either H3BO3 or NaCl was present. The dehydration of gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) was not completed until the initial stage of this large shrinkage was reached, but the phase transition of calcium sulfate anhydrite (III-CaSO4 to II-CaSO4) was the major cause for the large shrinkage. This phase transition occurred over a much wider temperature range than that suggested by the DTA-TG results. Dehydration conditions similar to those employed in wet calcination of gypsum appeared to be produced under atmospheric pressure when NaCl was present.
