The thermal decomposition process of HXeCl···H2O in solid Xe is studied, and HCl···H2O is identified as a decomposition product. The production is due to the two-body (2B) decomposition of HXeCl moiety, in agreement with theoretical predictions. Two types of 2B decomposition paths are predicted: catalytic and unimolecular 2B decompositions, where water molecule plays different roles. In an experiment to selectively produce HXeCl···D2O, only HCl···D2O is observed as a thermal decomposition product, indicating the occurrence of unimolecular 2B decomposition, where water molecule serves as a spectator. The activation energy for this decomposition process is experimentally determined to be 15 kJ mol−1.<br>

Phosphate ore was decomposed by using thermogravimetric (TG) and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC). The TG-DSC curves contained different sizes and heating rates. The results showed that phosphate ore had four weight loss stages at the range of 40 ~ 1100°C. With the particle size decreasing, the third weight loss stage became more obvious in TG curves and the endothermic peak became sharper in DSC curve ; the starting and ending temperature of thermal decomposition process moved to higher,the weight loss rate also tended to increase; the activation energy of phosphate ore endothermic decomposition process was calculated by Owaza method in 600~800°C, the average activation energy was 202.80 kJ / mol. It provided a basis for the utilizing of phosphate ore.

Micron-MnO2 powder has unique thermal decomposition process compared with other metal oxides, and the different characteristics of components in thermite could affect the thermal performance of the whole system directly. In this work, the Al powder with different three particle sizes was combined with micron-MnO2 to prepare the Al-MnO2 thermite system, and the effect of Al powder particle sizes on the whole thermal behavior was studied. Firstly, the thermal decomposition process of micron-MnO2 and purity of Al powder are tested by TG-DSC. By using ultrasonic dispersion method, the fuel-rich thermite samples were prepared and characterized by SEM and TG-DSC at different heating rates. The Kissinger method was also employed to calculate the activation energy for the first exothermic peak. It was found that the thermal decomposition process of MnO2 in the thermite system can be significantly disturbed by different Al particles size. In other words, the effect of Al particle sizes on the thermite can be magnified due to the unique decomposition properties of micron-MnO2 instead of onset temperature of exothermic reaction changing simply. The activation energy of thermite system decreased with the reduction of Al particle sizes in micron-level, while in nanolevel the activation energy markedly increased. Finally, the possible reasons for phenomenon were discussed.

Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by Hummers method and GO/1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) composite was prepared via an ultrasonic compounding method. The structure of GO was characterized using XRD and SEM, the thermal decomposition of HMX and GO/HMX composite was analyzed by DSC/TG test. The results show that interlayer space of GO increases markedly, the thermal decomposition process of HMX can be promoted with the nanolayer structure of GO, resulting the reduced thermal decomposition activation energy of about 50 kJ/mol with 1% GO.

The thermal behavior of two polymorphic forms of rifampicin was studied by DSC and TG/DTG. The thermoanalytical results clearly showed the differences between the two crystalline forms. Polymorph I was the most thermally stable form, the DSC curve showed no fusion for this species and the thermal decomposition process occurred around 245 ºC. The DSC curve of polymorph II showed two consecutive events, an endothermic event (Tpeak = 193.9 ºC) and one exothermic event (Tpeak = 209.4 ºC), due to a melting process followed by recrystallization, which was attributed to the conversion of form II to form I. Isothermal and non-isothermal thermogravimetric methods were used to determine the kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition process. For non-isothermal experiments, the activation energy (Ea) was derived from the plot of Log β vs 1/T, yielding values for polymorph form I and II of 154 and 123 kJ mol-1, respectively. In the isothermal experiments, the Ea was obtained from the plot of lnt vs 1/T at a constant conversion level. The mean values found for form I and form II were 137 and 144 kJ mol-1, respectively.
