The most economically important iron-chromium bearing minerals is chromite. In natural deposits, iron(II) is frequently substituted by magnesium(II) while chromium(III) is replaced by aluminum(III) and/or iron(III) forming a complex chromium bearing material. The majority of mined chromite is intended for the production of ferrochrome which requires a chromite concentrate with high chromium-to-iron ratio. Found mostly in the spinel chromite structure, iron cannot be removed by physical mineral processing methods. In this frame, the present work deals with the reaction of chlorine and chlorine+oxygen with selected samples of chromite concentrates for assessing the reactivity of their components towards chlorinating atmosphere, allowing the preferential removal of iron, hence meeting the chromite metallurgical grade requirements. Isothermal thermogravimetric analysis was used as a reliable approach for the kinetic reactivity investigation. Results indicated a wide difference in the thermal behavior of chromite constituents in a chlorinating atmosphere when considering their respective values of apparent activation energy oscillating from about 60 to 300 kJ/mol as a function of the sample reacted fraction. During the chromite treatment by chlorine in presence of oxygen, chromium was recovered as liquid chromyl chloride by condensation of the reaction gas phase.

The thermal behavior of polychlal fiber partially phosphorylated with phosphorus oxychloride has been studied using a conventional dynamic thermogravimetric technique. The dynamic thermogravimetric analysis curves have been analyzed using analytical methods reported in the literature to obtain information about the sequential stages in the thermal degradation process. The data obtained reveals that the phosphorus system is capable of modifying the degradation kinetics, with the phosphorylated polychlal fiber having a reduced maximum activation energy and more rapid weight loss dur ing the initial degradation.

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was employed to study the pyrolysis characteristics of four glucose-based and three fructose-based carbohydrates. Kinetic parameters were calculated based on the experiment data. The results indicated that the starting and maximal pyrolysis temperatures of the glucose-based carbohydrates were increased steadily as the rising of their degree of polymerization (DP). The fructose-based carbohydrates exhibited similar pyrolysis behaviors as the glucose-based carbohydrates, but the difference was smaller. Kinetic calculations revealed that the activation energy values of the glucose-based carbohydrates were higher than those of the fructose-based carbohydrates, indicating the glucose-based carbohydrates were more difficult to decompose than the fructose-based carbohydrates.

In this study, the effect of SBR concentration (10 Phr, 20 Phr & 30 Phr ) on the thermal behavior of EPDM/SBR blends was studied. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to check weight loss of samples as function of temperature by heating upto 600°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed to determine quality and % crystallinity of the elastomer blends. It was seen that % crystallinity improved with an increase in the content of SBR in EPDM/SBR blends. TGA revealed that the thermal stability of EPDM/SBR blends has improved by 17% than neat EPDM. Carbon nano-coatings produced by sputtering have no beneficial influence on thermal behaviour of elastomers.

The polymerization of vinyl chloride in the gas phase by X rays gives a solid polymer of 1140 average molecular weight. The G value of monomer disappearance varies from 100 to 400 and depends on pressure and temperature. From the measure of the rate of polymerization it was possible to deduce the activation energy of the chain propagation steps: 2.5 kcal/mole, and that of the hindered termination process: 7.4 kcal/mole. The negative temperature co-efficient of the polymerization is explained by the importance of this hindered termination process.

AbstractThe thermal degradation behaviors of PC/PMPSQ (polymethylphenylsilsesquioxane) systems were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under non-isothermal conditions in nitrogen atmosphere. During non-isothermal degradation, Kissinger and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa methods were used to analyze the thermal degradation process. The results showed that a remarkable decrease in activation energy ( E ) was observed in the early and middle stages of thermal degradation in the presence of PMPSQ, which indicated that the addition of PMPSQ promoted the thermal degradation of PC. Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method further revealed that PMPSQ significantly increased the activation energy of PC thermal degradation in the final stage, which illustrated that the PMPSQ stabilized the char residues and improved the flame retardancy of PC in the final period of thermal degradation process

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.
