The DTA curves of seven representative samples from the Kharidhunga Magnesite Deposit arc asymmetric and show a sharp rise after attaining the maxima between 670 and 700 oC, which indicates the siliceous nature of the magnesite. The overlapped endothermic peaks al 770 oC and 860 oC characterize the presence of calcite and dolomite respectively as the other impurities. The results of DTA and TG are also compared with the available data of chemical analysis.

In order to utilization the molybdenum tailings which be deposited in large quantities. Test used it to prepare glass-ceramics as main raw material, TiO2 as nucleation agents and CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system and wollastonite as the principal crystalline phase. Heat treatment system of glass-ceramics was based on the differential thermal analysis. The crystalline phase, microstructure and characteristics of glass-ceramics were analysis by XRD, SEM and physical, chemical properties test. The result shows that the performance of glass-ceramics was superior to the other types of building decoration stone.

Four interspecific grape hybrids (Vitis spp.) developed in Arkansas were evaluated for primary bud hardiness by differential thermal analysis. Buds from two locations were analyzed over 2 years for acclimation, midwinter hardiness, and deacclimation. In addition, effects of two training systems on cold hardiness of buds were evaluated in one location. The buds of the two genotypes with the greatest component of V. vinifera in their ancestry acclimated more slowly than did the other genotypes. Ultimate midwinter bud hardiness was greater in the genotypes possessing less V. vinifera than other parentage. No effect on cold hardiness due to training system was noted. No natural winter freeze damage was observed on any of the genotypes in the period of observation.

The State of Paraíba, Brazil, retains about 88.5% of all Brazilian bentonite, and much of this production comes from deposits in the District of Boa Vista, PB. Nevertheless, the deposits are almost depleted. Recently, new deposits were found, which will increases the reserves of the State, in the regions of Cubati and Pedra Lavrada, PB. The objective of this work is to characterize and develop purified clays, through sieving and hydrocycloning techniques, from those recently discovered bentonites for several applications. The characterization of the sample was done through granulometric analysis by laser diffraction, X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis by X-ray fluorescence, and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis. The results show that the samples are typical of bentonite clays, and that the purification solely by hydrocyclone presents the best results.

Vacuum carburization of nanometer tungsten powder was investigated in a simple designed apparatus. An X-Y recorder was used to plot differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves to determine the starting temperature of carburization of four samples with different specific surface area. The product was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The results show that finer tungsten powder has lower starting temperature of carburization. Tungsten powder, the BET surface area of which is 32.97m2/g, was completely carburized to tungsten carbide at 1050°C, even though the starting temperature was 890°C. The particle was found to grow sharply before carburization.

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 quasi-reduced iron–selenium phase diagram has been determined by a combination of differential thermal analysis, visual polythermal, and liquid sampling techniques. Iron and selenium form two compounds: FeSe2 with a broad stoichiometry range and FeSe2 with a much narrower composition field. The former compound was found to melt congruently at 1070 °C and 53.5 atomic % selenium, while the latter melted incongruently at 585 °C. Two liquid–liquid regions were observed in this system. One occurred above 790 °C from 73.9 atomic % selenium to about 99.92% selenium with a consolute temperature of 1070 °C at approximately 93 atomic % selenium. The other liquid–liquid region extends upwards from 1520 °C and lies between 3 and 39.5 atomic % selenium.

SummarySepiolite has been identified in the Keuper Marl at a Midlands locality by X-ray diffraction data, electron microscopy, differential thermal analysis, and chemical analysis. It has been calculated that a sample representing 30 ft. thickness of clay may contain as much as 39 % sepiolite. Apart from sepiolite, the Keuper Marl in the area examined consists mainly of mica, quartz, calcite, and ferric oxide.

The synthesis of sodium 2-chlorobenzylidenepyruvate and its corresponding acid as well as binary, binary together with it's acid or hydroxo-2-chorobenzylidenepyruvate of aluminium (III), gallium (III) and indium (III), were isolated. Chemical analysis, thermogravimetry, derivative thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), simultaneous thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and X-ray powder diffractometry have been employed to characterize and to study the thermal behaviour of these compounds. The results provided information concerning the stoichiometry, crystallinity, thermal stability and thermal decomposition.

In the present paper, a novel way of finding out the order of kinetics of differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves by using the concept of skewness (Sk) has been investigated. It is found that for a particular DTA peak, skewness is a function of both the order of kinetics and the quantity, First order DTA peaks are characterized by negative skewness whereas those for the second order are characterized by positive skewness. Therefore, skewness can be used as an indicator of the order of kinetics of a DTA peak. We have evaluated and compared the orders of kinetics of some reported DTA peaks using the concept of skewness and found that the resulting values of the orders of kinetics are in fair agreement with those reported in literature.

AbstractThe degree of distortion of the calcite endotherm on differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves for kaolinite-calcite mixtures depends on the kaolinite sample used as well as on the factors previously established. Although no two of the ten kaolinite samples employed, even if from the same general locality, produced identical effects under all experimental conditions, a general relationship between locality of origin and degree of distortion was noted. The crystalline species detected in the products of heating, after standing in air at room temperature, included portlandite, calcite, aragonite, vaterite and the high-temperature phases gehlenite, α′-Ca2SiO4, and 12CaO. 7Al2O3. The actual species present again depended on the kaolinite sample. Although the results cannot be directly related to the volatiles evolved along with water on dehydroxylation of the different kaolinites, a tentative explanation is offered on the basis of the effects of the volatiles on the surfaces of the particles present.
