The subject of interest in this study was lead cementation with zinc from solution after conventional agitate acidic leaching of converter dust from secondary copper production. The kinetics of lead cementation from an acid solution of lead acetate using zinc powder was studied. The optimal cementation conditions for removing lead from the solution were determined to have a stirring intensity of 300 rpm, a zinc particle size distribution <0.125–0.4> mm and an ambient temperature. Under these conditions, an almost 90% efficiency in removing lead from solution was achieved. The cementation precipitate contains Pb, and a certain amount of Cu. Lead is present in the cementation precipitate in the PbO, Pb5O8 and Pb(Cu2O2) phases. The solution after cementation was also refined from copper. The solution can be used for further processing in order to obtain a marketable Zn-based product. The resulting cementation precipitate can be further processed and modified to obtain a lead-based product. A kinetic study of the process of lead cementation from solution was also carried out. Based on experimental measurements, the value of apparent activation energy (Ea) which was found to be ~18.66 kJ·mol−1, indicates that this process is diffusion controlled in the temperature range 293–333 K.

A new rigid tricyanate ester consisting of seven conjugated aromatic units is synthesized, and its structure is confirmed by X-ray analysis. This ester undergoes thermally stimulated polymerization in a liquid state. Conventional and temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry techniques are employed to study the polymerization kinetics. A transition of polymerization from a kinetic- to a diffusion-controlled regime is detected. Kinetic analysis is performed by combining isoconversional and model-based computations. It demonstrates that polymerization in the kinetically controlled regime of the present monomer can be described as a quasi-single-step, auto-catalytic, process. The diffusion contribution is parameterized by the Fournier model. Kinetic analysis is complemented by characterization of thermal properties of the corresponding polymerization product by means of thermogravimetric and thermomechanical analyses. Overall, the obtained experimental results are consistent with our hypothesis about the relation between the rigidity and functionality of the cyanate ester monomer, on the one hand, and its reactivity and glass transition temperature of the corresponding polymer, on the other hand.


In the first paper of this series (Burgoyne 1937) the kinetics of the isothermal oxidation above 400° C of several aromatic hydrocarbons was studied. The present communication extends this work to include the phenomena of ignition in the same temperature range, whilst the corresponding reactions below 400° C form the subject of further investigations now in progress. The hydrocarbons at present under consideration are benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n -propylbenzene, o-, m - and p -xylenes and mesitylene.

The adhesion of particles at solid surfaces in liquid media has attracted the attention of scientists because of its various applications as well as the theoretical significance of the processes involved. Early studies were characterized either by poorly defined systems or limited by the properties of a few morphologically well-defined model colloids, such as latex dispersions. Consequently, results were either of semiquantitative nature or were related to some specific cases, which eluded general conclusions. New methods for preparing uniform particles of different compositions, shapes, and sizes make it possible to approach the problem in a more comprehensive manner. For example, to demonstrate difficulties caused by polydispersity, it is sufficient to mention that the electrostatic interaction energy between a plane surface and a particle is approximately proportional to the particle radius, yet the rate of deposition depends exponentially on the height of the energy barrier.In principle, static and dynamic approaches may be employed in the study of particle adhesion. The static method yields the force required to detach an adhered particle, while kinetic investigations of attachment and detachment give the rates of the respective processes. Both methods offer information on the stability of the system in terms of the bond strength of adhered solids. For small colloid particles, which are the subject of thermal random Brownian motion, the dynamic approach is more appropriate. This article emphasizes the kinetics of deposition and detachment of small colloid particles in liquid media.


From a study of the u. v., visible, near i. r. and e. s. r. spectra induced by γ -irradiation at 77°K in glassy MTHF and in glassy MTHF containing various additives and from a study of controlled temperature increases on these spectra, the following conclusions are drawn. (1) The primary products of the radiolysis are electrons ( e - ) and positive ions ( MTHF + ) which undergo a rapid ion-molecule reaction to give O CH 3 radicals ( R ⋅). (2) e - can either be trapped in the glassy MTHF matrix or can be captured by either napththalene, ferric chloride, carbon tetrachloride, nitrous oxide or trans -stilbene if these substances are present. (3) The e - T are bleachable by light or heat and disappear independently of the radicals R⋅ without either augmentation of R⋅ or the production of any new radical species. (4) e - T and R⋅ disappear thermally and independently by second-order reactions, the rate constants being K e - + e - (M -1 S -1 ) = 10 12⋅4±1⋅1 exp ─ [0⋅85 ± 0⋅10 kcal/mole/ R ( T ─ 75)] and K R˙ + R˙ (M -1 S -1 ) = 10 13⋅3±1⋅4 exp ─ [1⋅20 ± 0⋅15 kcal/mole/ R ( T ─ 75)]. These rate expressions suggest that both reactions are diffusion controlled at low temperatures in the glassy phase. (5) The kinetics of the thermal bleaching of e - T indicate that the electrons migrate distances of about 150 Å from their parent positive ions before being trapped in the matrix. (6) The effect of FeCl 3 in reducing the formation of e - T at 77°K and its lack of effect on the thermal bleaching of e - T suggests that the reaction e - + FeCl 3 → FeCl 2 + Cl - only occurs before the electron is thermalized.

We review the results of our Monte Carlo simulation studies carried out within the past two decades in the area of atomic-migration-controlled phenomena in intermetallic compounds. The review aims at showing the high potential of Monte Carlo methods in modelling both the equilibrium states of the systems and the kinetics of the running processes. We focus on three particular problems: (i) the atomistic origin of the complexity of the ‘order-order’ relaxations in γ’-Ni3Al; (ii) surface-induced ordering phenomena in γ-FePt and (iii) ‘order—order’ kinetics and self-diffusion in the ‘triple-defect’ β-NiAl. The latter investigation demonstrated how diverse Monte Carlo techniques may be used to model the phenomena where equilibrium thermodynamics interplays and competes with kinetic effects.

The oriented 0.67Pb (Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.33PbTiO3 (PMNT) polycrystals were prepared by the conventional ceramic technique and the templated grain growth method adding excess PbO in the matrix. Kinetics of the development of oriented structure was investigated systemically. In the presence of PbO liquid phase, the oriented PMNT polycrystals mainly grow by the dissolution-precipitation mechanism. The diffusion is determined by the sintering temperature and the PbO-excess content in the matrix. The thickness of oriented PMNT polycrystals displays a t1/3 dependence, which is characteristic of diffusion-controlled growth. For the thicker oriented structure, 20% excess PbO in the PMNT matrix and 1150oC for 10h are the proper experimental conditions. Moreover, the addition of PbO in the matrix hardly affects the final composition of ceramic matrix.

ABSTRACTSilicide formation induced by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) and conventional furnace annealing (CFA) in bilayers of sequentially deposited films of amorphous silicon and polycrystalline Co or Ni is studied with RBS, X-ray diffraction and TEM. Particular attention is paid to the reliability of the RTA temperature measurements in the study of the growth kinetics of the first interfacial compound, Co2Si and Ni2Si, for both RTA and CFA. It is found that the same diffusion-controlled kinetics applies for the silicide formation by RTA in argon and CFA in vacuum with a common activation energy of 2.1+0.2eV for Co2Si and 1.3+0.2eV for Ni Si. Co and Ni atoms are the dominant diffusing species; during silicide formation by both RTA and CFA. The microstructures of the Ni-silicide formed by the two annealing techniques, however, differs considerably from each other, as revealed by cross-sectional TEM studies.

ABSTRACTThe microstructure developed in primary crystallizations is studied under realistic conditions. The primary crystallization of an amorphous alloy is modeled by considering the thermodynamics of a metastable phase transition and the kinetics of nucleation and crystal growth under isothermal annealing. A realistic growth rate, including an interface controlled growth at the beginning of the growth of each single grain and diffusion controlled growth process with soft impingement afterwards is considered. The reduction in the nucleation rate due to the compositional change in the remaining amorphous matrix is also taken into account. The microstructures developed during the transformation are obtained by using the Populational KJMA method, from the above thermodynamic and kinetic factors. Experimental data of transformed fraction, grain density, average grain size, grain size distribution and other related parameters obtained from annealed metallic glasses are modeled.
