Cellulosic Fibres

Comparative studies of the structure and thermal behavior of cellulose and composite precursors with additives of silyl-substituted acetylene and alkoxysilanes were carried out. It is shown that the introduction of silicon-containing additives into the cellulose matrix influenced the thermal behavior of the composite fibers and the carbon yield after carbonization. Comparison of the activation energies of the thermal decomposition reaction renders it possible to determine the type of additive and its concentration, which reduces the energy necessary for pyrolysis. It is shown that the C/O ratio in the additive and the presence of the Si–C bond affected the activation energy and the temperature of the beginning and the end of the pyrolysis reaction.

The thermal decomposition kinetics of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and flame-retardant PBT (FR-PBT) were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis at various heating rates. The kinetic parameters were determined by using Kissinger, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Friedman methods. The y (α) and z (α) master plots were used to identify the thermal decomposition model. The results show that the rate of residual carbon of FR-PBT is higher than that of PBT and the maximum mass loss rate of FR-PBT is lower than that of PBT. The values of activation energy of PBT (208.71 kJ/mol) and FR-PBT (244.78 kJ/mol) calculated by Kissinger method were higher than those of PBT (PBT: 195.54 kJ/mol) and FR-PBT (FR-PBT: 196.00 kJ/mol) calculated by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method and those of PBT and FR-PBT (PBT: 199.10 kJ/mol, FR-PBT: 206.03 kJ/mol) calculated by Friedman methods. There is a common thing that the values of activation energy of FR-PBT are higher than that of PBT in different methods. The thermal decomposition reaction models of the PBT and FR-PBT can be described by Avarami-Erofeyev model (A1).

In this study, carbon mesospheres (CMS) and iron oxide nanoparticles decorated on carbon mesospheres (Fe2O3-CMS) were effectively synthesized by a direct and simple hydrothermal approach. α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles have been successfully dispersed in situ on a CMS surface. The nanoparticles obtained have been characterized by employing different analytical techniques encompassing Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The produced carbon mesospheres, mostly spherical in shape, exhibited an average size of 334.5 nm, whereas that of Fe2O3 supported on CMS is at around 80 nm. The catalytic effect of the nanocatalyst on the thermal behavior of cellulose nitrate (NC) was investigated by utilizing differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The determination of kinetic parameters has been carried out using four isoconversional kinetic methods based on DSC data obtained at various heating rates. It is demonstrated that Fe2O3-CMS have a minor influence on the decomposition temperature of NC, while a noticeable diminution of the activation energy is acquired. In contrast, pure CMS have a slight stabilizing effect with an increase of apparent activation energy. Furthermore, the decomposition reaction mechanism of NC is affected by the introduction of the nano-catalyst. Lastly, we can infer that Fe2O3-CMS may be securely employed as an effective catalyst for the thermal decomposition of NC.

Thermogravimetric (TG) studies have been carried out for some bimetallic dithiocarbamate complexes of the type ZnML4 and NiM′L′4 [M = Co(II), Cu(II); M′ = Zn(II), Hg(II); L = N-methylcyclohexyldithiocarbamate; L′ = N-ethylcyclohexyldithiocarbamate]. From TG curves, the order, apparent activation energy and apparent activation entropy for the thermal decomposition reaction have been calculated. The thermal stabilities have been correlated with the structures of the complexes on the basis of hard and soft acid base (HSAB) theory.

In this work the kinetics of the thermal decomposition of two ß-diketone lanthanide complexes of the general formula Ln(thd)3phen (where Ln = Nd+3 or Tm+3, thd = 2,2,6,6- tetramethyl-3,5-heptanodione and phen = 1,10-phenantroline) has been studied. The powders were characterized by several techniques. Thermal decomposition of the complexes was studied by non-isothermal thermogravimetry techniques. The kinetic model that best describes the process of the thermal decomposition of the complexes it was determined through the method proposed by Coats-Redfern. The average values the activation energy obtained were 136 and 114 kJ.mol-1 for the complexes Nd(thd)3phen and Tm(thd)3phen, respectively. The kinetic models that best described the thermal decomposition reaction the both complexes were R2. The model R2 indicating that the mechanism is controlled by phase-boundary reaction (cylindrical symmetry) and is defined by the function g(α) = 2[1-(1-a)1/2], indicating a mean reaction order. The values of activation energy suggests the following decreasing order of stability: Nd(thd)3phen > Tm(thd)3phen.

Pyrolysis Tar

The paper discusses results of an experimental study of the thermal decomposition of pyrolysis tar in a homogeneous process and in the presence of a catalyst. Experiments on thermal decomposition of pyrolysis tar were carried out under isothermal conditions in a laboratory setup at temperatures of 300, 400, 450 and 500 °C. The rate of the homogeneous process of thermal decomposition of tar and maximal degrees of decomposition were determined. According to the data of this work, the activation energy of the homogeneous process was 320 kJ/mol. It was found that the rate of thermal decomposition of the tar increases in the case of introducing samples of natural dolomites into the reaction zone, as well as a composite material based on them. This increase is due to the occurrence of a heterogeneous catalytic decomposition reaction of the pyrolysis tar. The apparent activation energy of this process was 210 kJ/mol (when using dolomites) and 202 kJ/mol (when using composites). It was noted that the composite material has significantly more favorable mechanical properties than dolomite. Based on the established data, it was concluded that the creation of composite catalysts for the thermal decomposition of heavy hydrocarbons formed in the processes of thermochemical conversion of biomass is promising.

The thermal decomposition of precipitated silver(I) oxide in a vacuum has been studied over the range 100-350 �C. Three regions are identified : in the fist, 100-200 �C, the activation energy is 30 kcal, 5 per cent. of the total oxygen is evolved, and the lattice parameter increases to a limiting value ; in the second, 200-300 �C, the activation energy is 50 kcal, and a further 1-2 per cent. oxygen is evolved; in the third, above 300 �C, metallic silver crystallizes, the oxide lattice contracts to a constant value, and the activation energy becomes 36 kcal. The activation energies in the three regions are interpreted as being associated, respectively, with (i) the diffusion of silver into the oxide lattice, (ii) the formation of aggregates of silver " atoms " not conforming to the normal silver lattice in an oxide lattice saturated with silver, and (iii) the reaction at the interface between metallic silver and the oxide.

The pyrolysis of diphenylacetic acid was investigated over the temperature range 515-636° C using the toluene-carrier technique. The main products of this system were similar to those formed in the thermal decomposition of phenylacetic acid. The rate constant for the reaction[Formula: see text]was calculated as k′ = 8 × 1012.exp(−52,000/RT) sec−1.The over-all decomposition reaction was found to be partly heterogeneous and, therefore, the activation energy for reaction [1] may be only tentatively identified with D[(C6H5CH)2—COOH].

Al Powder

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.
