AbstractThe differential thermal analysis of reconstituted tobacco sheet heated at rates of 0.1°C/s to 500°C/s in an inert atmosphere is reported. As the heating rate is increased, the characteristic temperature of each global process observed is increased. Using a non-isothermal first-order kinetic equation, the activation energies and frequency factors are obtained for these bulk decomposition processes

Sheep paunch manure was anaerobically digested to study the effect of inoculum to substrate ratio on biogas production rates and accumulation. Inoculum to substrate ratios of 1.37, 2.05 and 4.1 were digested in biodigesters labelled R1, R2 and <br /> R3 respectively. Results showed that inoculum to substrate ratio had a significant effect on biogas production rates and accumulation. Biogas production rates increased to peak in the order of R3 (0.30526 Nm<sup>3</sup>/kg volatile solids (VS) days), R2 (0.15308 Nm<sup>3</sup>/kg VS d) and R1 (0.11009 Nm<sup>3</sup>/kg VS d) on the 5<sup>th</sup> day. The biogas production accumulation increased from 0.57195 to 1.46784 Nm<sup>3</sup>/kg VS as the inoculum to substrate ratio increased. The result of regression showed that coefficient of determination values for the linear equation ranged from 0.707 to 0.797, while the exponential equation had higher values that ranged from 0.7718 to 0.9929 showing better simulation. The modified Gompertz equation showed better simulation of the biogas production accumulation than the first order kinetic equation due to its higher coefficient of determination values.

In this study, The Fenton process was applied as a pretreatment method to treat industrial wastewater containing 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The effect of oxidant dosages on the decomposition of 4-NP and the reaction kinetics were investigated. More than 99% of 4-NP was readily decomposed when the reaction was carried out at oxidant concentrations of 5 mM H2O2 and 5 mg/L Fe2+ for 2 hours. The total nitrogenous compounds and the nitrogen gas evolved, accounted for 88% of the initial nitrogen concentration. However, the maximum DOC removal efficiency was 30.6%; and only 1/3 of 4-NP was mineralized to carbon dioxide by the Fenton process. 4-NP degradation profiles fitted well into a pseudo first-order kinetic equation; degradation rate constant (min-1) of 4-NP increased from 4.3×10-3 to 66.1×10-3 with increasing dosages of H2O2 and Fe2+. In addition, the t value was calculated for studying the significance of simulation by the t-test. It was found that the t value was greater than the value for 99% confidence. This result suggested that the 4-NP decomposition profile could be described by the pseudo first-order kinetic equation. Biodegradability of 4-NP before and after the reaction was 0.018 and 0.594, respectively.

Borothermal Reduction

Ultra-fine zirconium diboride (ZrB2) powders have been synthesized by borothermal reduction reaction, using zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl2•8H2O) as the precursors of zirconia. The thermodynamic variation in the amorphous ZrO2-B system was studied by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). The precursors containing amorphous ZrO2 and B were heat-treated under a high heating rate. It is shown that the borothermal reaction can be completed at a relatively low temperature (~950 °C) and short duration (~5 min) under a heating rate of 200 °C/min. The synthesized powders have an average crystalline size of 300 nm with oxygen content less than 2.62 wt%.

AbstractDifferential thermal analysis curves were obtained for a series of diamine and glycol complexes with natural and copper substituted montmorillonite, in air and in an inert atmosphere. Thermobalance curves of the diamine-clay systems were also determined. The exothermic peaks observed in air are characteristic for any particular system and reflect the nature and binding of the interlamellar material; no direct correlation was, however, observed with pyrolysis and oxidation processes in the clay. Organic matter is frequently liberated from the clay before oxidation, which then occurs within the reaction cell but outside the clay phase. The extent to which oxidation is completed at any particular temperature depends upon the supply of oxygen and the amount of organic material present.

The performance of anoxic and facultative ponds in Jordan was investigated for 12 months. Calculated values of the first order kinetic equation rate for CBOD removal (KCBOD) has resulted in different KCBOD's for different ponds in the same month, at the same temperature. It is evident that factors other than temperature must influence values of KCBOD. The KCBOD values determined were generally lower than those reported in the literature. The maximum value found was only 0.16 (/day). A pond was emptied after 18 months of operation and sediment was found randomly distributed over the pond area, with a depth ranging from 2 to 6 cm (averaging ≈ 4 cm). A simple model has been established to estimate sediment depth (Hs in cm) in terms of the operating time in months (t).

Major Process

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 ultraviolet protectant (UV protectant) properties of different natural and synthetic compounds were investigated for a biopesticide based on ecdysone. This study examined the photostabilization of ecdysone when exposed to ultraviolet light in the presence of some ultraviolet protectants. Ecdysone solutions with and without UV protectants in methanol were applied onto the surface of glass slides. At particular intervals, the remaining concentration of ecdysone was analyzed by HPLC. Using first-order kinetic equation, the dissipation half-life values (DT50) for the degradation of ecdysone under ultraviolet radiation were obtained. The larvicidal activity was evaluated against the larvae of Martianus dermestoides Chevrolat. It indicated that the addition of congo red, yeast, starch and arabia gum provided moderate degree of photostabilization of ecdysone and that addition of lignin provided the best photostabilization of ecdysone, among these UV protectants studied. Toxicity of the ecdysone with UV protectants was higher to the larvae of M. dermestoides Chevrolat compared to the ecdysone alone as indicated by the lower EC50 value. The dissipation half-life values of ecdysone after irradiation under ultraviolet light and the larvicidal activity suggested that the addition of lignin (in 1:l mol ratio) can provide better photostabilization of ecdysone molecule.

The PbO/MoO3 system with 47%: 53%, 53%: 47%, and 50%: 50% molar ratios at various processing temperatures has been studied with x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) methods. It is found that in addition to the crystallization of primary PbMoO4 phase, subphases such as Pb2MoO5 and PbMo2O7 are also formed. The remaining PbO and MoO3 are detected at certain stages of the thermal process due to localized powder inhomogeneity. Physical processes, such as sublimation, eutectic melting, solid to liquid, and liquid to vapor transformations are also investigated. In particular, evaporations of excessive PbO or MoO3 in the nonstoichiometric PbO/MoO3 can be correlated to thermal processing parameters. The current study has led to the following three processing guidelines to obtain stoichiometric PbMoO4: (i) for high temperature application, such as the Czochralski melt growth, it is suggested an excessive MoO3 (a few mol %) must be included and a slow heating rate should be employed; (ii) for low temperature synthesis, the stoichiometric PbO–MoO3 can be used, but with a fast heating rate; and (iii) PbO-rich PbO/MoO3 system is not recommended in PbMoO4 synthesis.
