ABSTRACTWe have studied the kinetics of the chemical reaction between Mg and B by differential thermal analysis. There are two exothermal peaks observed at 500 and 650 °C. We speculate that the first exothermal peak is mainly related to the chemical reaction between Mg and oxygen, forming MgO. The second exothermal peak, which coincides with the melting point of Mg, clearly indicates the chemical reaction between Mg and B. The effect of synthesis conditions and defects on the transport property of MgB2 has been investigated. A correlation between the microstrain, the lattice parameters, and the Mg concentration were observed and are discussed.

Through a combination of thermogravimetry, mass spectrometry and differential thermal analysis, we demonstrate for the first time that all four zeolites show experimental differences in their host-guest interactions with 18C6. In addition, we have estimated the kinetics of 18C6 decomposition, which is a technique that has not been applied to zeolites previously. Using these findings as a toolkit, a more rational use of OSDAs can be utilised to prepare designer zeolites. Furthermore, the new methodologies presented herein can be applied to current zeolites, such as MFI-type zeolites used in the petrochemical industry.

The kinetic parameters of reactivation of a carbonized hydrodesulphurization (HDS) catalyst by air were evaluated from combined thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) data. In addition, the gaseous products leaving a temperature-programmed reactor with a thin layer of catalyst were analyzed chromatographically. Two exothermic processes were found to take part in the reactivation, and their kinetics were described by 1st order equations. In the first process (180-400 °C), sulphur in Co and Mo sulphides is oxidized to sulphur dioxide; in the second process (300-540 °C), in which the essential portion of heat is produced, the deposited carbon is oxidized to give predominantly carbon dioxide. If the reaction heat is not removed efficiently enough, ignition of the catalyst takes place, which is associated with a transition to the diffusion region. The application of the obtained kinetic parameters to modelling a temperature-programmed reactivation is illustrated on the case of a single particle.

Non isothermal kinetics of a glass obtained from a mixture of 59 wt % of metallurgical slag and 41 wt % of soda lime recycled glass was studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The curves of differential thermal analysis revealed the presence of two exothermic peaks, a major peak at 810 °C and a minor peak at 1085 °C. DRX revealed that the first exothermic peak corresponds to the formation of hardystonite, Ca2ZnSi2O7 and aegirine, NaFe3+Si2O6, while the second minor peak corresponds to the formation of zinc ferrite, ZnFe2O4. The activation energy of the crystallization, <em>Ea</em>, was calculated with the Kissinger equation from DTA data, obtained at different heating rates. In addition, the particle size effect on the kinetics of crystallization was studied. The Avrami factor, <em>n,</em> was calculated with Augis-Bennett method. The values of obtained<em> Ea</em> increase with bigger particle sizes and also the value of n, indicating that for small particles the superficial crystallization mechanism is predominant, while bulk mechanism is preferential on large particles. Obtained materials are suitable for some structural applications.

The new Y257 superconductor in YBaCuO family was synthesized by standard solid state reaction. The Y257 samples were measured the critical temperature (Tc) by the four-probes method that found at 90 K. The XRD technique and FULLPROF program were used to determine the lattice parameters, space group and phase compositions. It was found that the Y257 exhibited in both of superconducting and non-superconducting phase. The Pmmm space group was fit well on superconducting phase with the lattice parameters as a=3.8108 Å, b=3.8544 Å and c=26.4967 Å. The non-superconducting phase exhibited in two space groups of Pccm (a=12.9770 Å, b=20.54780 Å and c=11.3530 Å) and Im-3m (a= 18.2104 Å, b=18.2104 Å and c=18.2104 Å). The peritectic temperature at 976.73°C was measured by differential thermal analysis.
