The results show that the thermal decomposition processes of the mixed nitric ester gun propellants have two mass-loss stages. Nitric ester evaporates and decomposes in the first stage, and nitrocellulose and centralite II(C2) decompose in the second stage. The mass loss, the DTG peak points, and the terminated temperatures of the two stages are changeable with the difference of the mass ratio of TEGDN to NG. There is only one obvious exothermic peak in the DSC curves under the different pressures. With the increase in the furnace pressure, the peak temperature decreases, and the decomposition heat increases. With the increase in the content of TEGDN, the decomposition heat decreases at 0.1 MPa and rises at high pressure. The variety of mass ratio of TEGDN to NG makes few effect on the exothermic peak temperatures in the DSC curves at different pressures. The kinetic equation of the main exothermal decomposition reaction of the gun propellant TG0601 was determined as: dα/dt=1021.59(1-α)3e-2.60×104/T. The reaction mechanism of the process can be classified as chemical reaction. The critical temperatures of the thermal explosion(Tbe and Tbp) obtained from the onset temperature(Te) and the peak temperature(Tp) are 456.46 and 473.40 K, respectively. ΔS≠, ΔH≠, and ΔG≠ of the decomposition reaction are 163.57 J·mol^-1·K^-1, 209.54 kJ·mol^-1, and 133.55 kJ·mol^-1, respectively.展开更多

ZnO and ZnS nanocrystals could be obtained by decomposing Zn-MPA(3-mercaptopropionic acid) complex under different reaction conditions. It was found that both the pH value of the solution and the molar ratio of Zn2+ and MPA can play an important role in the formation of ZnO and ZnS nanocrystals. MPA mainly acts as an S source or as a complexing agent. This study provides a new route for the controllable preparation of semiconductor nanocrystals.展开更多

The effects of initial concentrations, total gas flow rates, and power consumption have been investigated. The conversion result was relatively high. It reached 80% for CCl4 and 97% for CHCl3. Using atmospheric air as the carrier gas, the plasma reaction occurred at exothermic reaction and the main products were CO2, CO, and Cl2. Transformation into CCl4 was also detected for CHCl3 decomposition reaction. The conversion of CCh and CHCl3 were increased with the increasing applied frequency and decreasing total gas flow rate.展开更多

All geometries of the reactant, transition states, and products were optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) level. Vibration analysis was carried out to confirm its identity as transitions' structure, and the intrinsic reaction coordinate method(IRC) was used to search the minimum energy path. Two possible reaction channels are reported in this article. The calculated results indicate that O-cyclization reaction channel has the lower activation barrier, and therefore, it occurs more easier than the other.展开更多

The geometric structures of reactants, intermediates, transition states, and products are fully optimized. The frequency analysis approves the authenticity of intermediates and transition states. Our results show that there are four feasible reaction pathways. The main pathway of the reaction is KNF → B1 → TSB1 → B2 → TSB2 → B3 → TSB3 → B4 → KNO2 + NO2 + NO + CO, and the energy barrier of the rate-limiting step is 216.30 k J·mol^-1. The dominant products predicted theoretically are KNO2, NO2, NO, and CO, which is in agreement with the experiment.展开更多
