The reaction processes at different heating rates of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 ℃/min in air flow from ambient temperature to 1 000 ℃ were studied by TG-DTG-DSC analysis. By the peak temperatures of DTG curves, the whole reaction process for each sample was divided into different stages, and the corresponding apparent activation energies were calculated by the Ozawa-Flynn-Wall method. It is found that the reaction process of each sample is considerably complex; the apparent activation energy values change from 36 to 160 kJ/mol in different temperature ranges; sulfur-rich sulfide and iron sulfide concentrates have lower apparent activation energy than copper sulfide concentrate below 150 ℃; so they are more inclined to cause spontaneous combustion at ambient temperature.展开更多

This ranges from slow cooling rates close to equilibrium up to rates above complete supersaturation and is covering seven orders of magnitude in cooling rate （0.0005 to 5000 K/s）. The continuous cooling precipitation behaviour of 7049A alloy was recorded by combining different differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） techniques and microstructure analysis by SEM and Vickers hardness testing. The high alloyed, high strength and quench sensitive wrought aluminium alloy 7049A was investigated during quenching from solution annealing by conventional DSC in the cooling rate range of 0.0005 to 4 K/s. In this range at least two exothermal precipitation reactions were observed： a high temperature reaction in a narrow temperature interval of 450-430℃, and a low temperature reaction in a broad temperature interval down to about 200 ℃. Intensities of both reactions decreased with increasing cooling rate. Quenching from solution annealing with rates up to 1000 K/s was investigated by differential fast scanning calorimetry （DFSC） and the differential reheating method （DRM）. A critical quenching rate to suppress all precipitation reactions of 100-300 K/s was been determined.展开更多

After completion of the molecular distillation, three properties of heat transport chain cuts and residues obtained in the process were estimated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry （DSC） （specific heat, enthalpy, thermal conductivity）. These properties are of great importance for improving oil characterization and for future modeling and simulation of the molecular distillation process.

However, their melting temperatures can be adjusted to a suitable value by preparing a eutectic mixture of the myristic acid (MA) and the stearic acid (SA). In the present study, the thermal analysis based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique shows that the mixture of myristic acid (MA) and stearic acid (SA) in the respective composition (by mass) of 64% and 36% forms a eutectic mixture having melting temperature of 44.13℃ and the latent heat of fusion of 182.4J·g-1. The thermal energy storage characteristics of the MA-SA eutectic mixture filled in the annulus of two concentric pipes were also experimentally established. The heat recovery rate and heat charging/discharging fractions were determined with respect to the change in the mass flow rate and the inlet temperature of heat transfer fluid. Based on the results obtained by DSC analysis and by the heat charg- ing/discharging processes of the PCM, it can be concluded that the MA-SA eutectic mixture is a potential material for low temperature thermal energy storage applications in terms of its thermo-physical and thermal characteristics.展开更多

In this study, the amorphous forms of ketoprofen and flurbiprofen were obtained by supercooling of the melt in a DSC （differential scanning calorimetry） apparatus and then investigated, especially under the stability point of view. The average rate of molecular motions at any given temperature is probably the most important parameter to know for amorphous pharmaceutical materials, and it was used to explain and predict the stability of ketoprofen and flurbiprofen. A quantitative estimate of the product＇s behaviour upon storage is obtained with additional data, such as the heat capacity of crystalline and amorphous samples and the distribution of molecular relaxation times. Amorphous flurbiprofen demonstrated greater physical stability at any aging temperature tested, when compared to ketoprofen and a different dependence from aging temperature. Both amorphous drugs could he classified as ＂fragile＂ ones.展开更多

Rates of thermal and photochemical degradation are determined by measuring the relative changes of absorbance （A/Ao） of selected bands in PLA （polylactic acid） spectra. Comparison of the effect of both degradation on PLA structure showed that nanosilver act as a stabilizer for photodegradation at 254 nm. As oppose, thermal degradation at 80 ~C indicate, that nanosilver accelerates PLA degradation at the temperature. Glass transition and crystallization/melting processes occurring in PLA and PLA/Ag nanocomposites during both degradation processes were also compared.展开更多

This is important because it＇s necessary to find new applications for food industry. Uruguayan wild cardoon seed, Argentinian wild papaya seeds, Argentinian avocado pulp, Argentinian cherimoya seeds, Argentinian grapeseeds and four commercial brands of chia oils were studied. The thermal behaviors of the oils were analyzed on a differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）, TA Instrument, Q20 model equipped with an intercooler. These oils＇ thermal profiles presented differences, which are related to the compositions of fatty acids and triacylglycerols. The thermogram for the chia oil, with a high content of linolenic acid, presented a very important peak at about -40 ℃; whereas, the papaya oil with an oleic acid content of 74%, showed a peak at about -3 ℃. When comparing the thermal behaviors of these oils to commercial brand oils, it was found that the chia oil is similar to the flaxseed oil, the papaya similar to the olive oil and the avocado similar to the rice bran oil. The avocado oil, in particular, presents high solid content at cold store or winter temperatures, which would make its use in those conditions difficult （for example, a cosmetic cream or gourmet oil）. In conclusion, the thermal behavior of one oil sample as determined by DSC provides valuable information with regards to the possible use of new oils of American origin as replacement of usual commercial others.展开更多

In this process, electrolytic manganese dioxide(EMD) and LiOH·H2O were used as starting materials. The physiochemical properties of the synthesized samples were investigated by thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry(TG-DSC), X-ray diffractometry(XRD), and scanning electronic microscopy(SEM). The results show that the hydrothermally synthesized precursor is an essential amorphous. The precursor can be easily transferred to spinel powders with a homogeneous structure and a regularly-shaped morphology by heat treatment. Li1.05Mn1.95O4 powder obtained by heat treating the precursor at 430 °C for 12 h and then calcining at 800 °C for 12 h shows an excellent cycling performance with an initial charge capacity of 118.2 mA·h·g-1 obtained at 0.5C rate and 93.8% of its original value retained after 100 cycles.展开更多

The dynamics of hydration reactions will depend on many factors, such as the fineness of cement, the ratio w/c during hydration, temperature, mixing technique, and the presence of additives in blended cement, as pozzolan, tuff and slag from blast furnaces. We studied the thermal and kinetic reactions of Portland cement hydration, and its variants with different additions using a differential scanning calorimetric analysis. The parameters from these models of curves allow us to evaluate the enthalpies, and the degree of progression of this blended cement, and finally determine their activation energies. We can say that the hydration of Portland cement is due to a series of reactions as （ C3S,C2S,C3A and C4AF reactions with water） and each of them, has its own kinetic, the experimental measurement of the heat of hydration, allows us to represent the overall kinetics of these reactions values of activation energy, they are therefore apparent and global energy. In our experiments, significant differences in these physicochemical parameters were observed, depending on the additive used.展开更多

The differences of desorption energy and natural log of the frequency factor of CH2C12 and H20 in MIL-53（A1） were analyzed by a thermo active process using DSC measurements. The interaction energy of guest molecules with MIL-53（A1）, which corresponds to the desorption in the thermal active process, was explored using ab-initio calculation. As a result of the difference in the interaction energies of H20 and CH2C12 in MIL-53（A1）, the site near the p2-OH groups has two potential wells Both experimentally and computationally, MIL-53 presents the preferential adsorption of CH2C12 than H20.展开更多

The DSC curve manifests three exothermic responses to dynamic heating, among which the first and the third one are the signatures of the normal sub-Tg （Tg, glass transition temperature） relaxation and the crystallization process, respectively. The second one is attributed to a partial overlap between the endothermic response to the glass transition and the exothermic response to the formation of ordered clusters. The cluster ordering, which begins at the final stage of glass transition, has been verified by the differences in the activation energy of the sub-Tg relax- ation, the cluster ordering and primary crystallization for both the as-spun and annealed ribbons. The cluster ordering could be driven by the large difference between the Zr-Y mixing enthalpy and the Al-Y （or Cu-Y） mixing enthalpy. The findings contribute to distinguishing between phase separation and clusters motion scenarios.展开更多

The two derivatives were employed as the rigid monomers to copolymerize with acrylated epoxidized soybean oil （AESO）, as so to improve the performance of the cured resins. The chemical structures of HMPIDDC and IDOMAHM were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance （NMR） and Fourier Transform Infrared （FT-IR） before copolymerization. The curing behaviors of pristine AESO, AESO/HMPIDDC blend, and AESO/IDOMAHM blend were monitored by differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）. Moreover, the thermal and mechanical properties of the cured resins were evaluated by universal mechanical testing, dynamic mechanical analysis （DMA） and thermogravimetric analysis （TGA）. The results demonstrated that after the introduction of HMPIDDC and IDOMAHM, the glass transition temperature and mechanical properties of the copolymerized resin were significantly increased. In one word, HMPIDDC and IDOMAHM showed dramatic potential to be used as bio-based compounds to improve the properties of soybean-oil based thermosets.展开更多

The results are compared with those calculated from Maxwell relations by using the polarization data obtained from the polarization–electric field hysteresis loops. The direct method shows a larger ECE temperature change, which is accounted for the situation approaches an ideal condition. For the indirect method using Maxwell relations, only the polarization projection along the electric field was taken into account, which will be less than the randomly distributed real polarizations that contribute to the ECE. The MLCCs exhibit a broad peak of ECE around 80 C, which will be favorite for the practical ECE cooling devices.展开更多

In this process, electrolytic manganese dioxide(EMD) and LiOH·H2O were used as starting materials. The physiochemical properties of the synthesized samples were investigated by thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry(TG-DSC), X-ray diffractometry(XRD), and scanning electronic microscopy(SEM). The results show that the hydrothermally synthesized precursor is an essential amorphous. The precursor can be easily transferred to spinel powders with a homogeneous structure and a regularly-shaped morphology by heat treatment. Li1.05Mn1.95O4 powder obtained by heat treating the precursor at 430 °C for 12 h and then calcining at 800 °C for 12 h shows an excellent cycling performance with an initial charge capacity of 118.2 mA·h·g-1 obtained at 0.5C rate and 93.8% of its original value retained after 100 cycles.
文摘The hydration of cement compounds gives hydrated compounds, which allow linking together, the different particles and aggregate of cement, and gives the concrete the required qualities. The dynamics of hydration reactions will depend on many factors, such as the fineness of cement, the ratio w/c during hydration, temperature, mixing technique, and the presence of additives in blended cement, as pozzolan, tuff and slag from blast furnaces. We studied the thermal and kinetic reactions of Portland cement hydration, and its variants with different additions using a differential scanning calorimetric analysis. The parameters from these models of curves allow us to evaluate the enthalpies, and the degree of progression of this blended cement, and finally determine their activation energies. We can say that the hydration of Portland cement is due to a series of reactions as （ C3S,C2S,C3A and C4AF reactions with water） and each of them, has its own kinetic, the experimental measurement of the heat of hydration, allows us to represent the overall kinetics of these reactions values of activation energy, they are therefore apparent and global energy. In our experiments, significant differences in these physicochemical parameters were observed, depending on the additive used.

文摘Desorption energies of dichloromethane （CH2C12） and water （H20） in a metal-organic framework, MIL-53（A1）, were investi- gated by the combination of experimental （differential scanning calorimeter, DSC） and computational （ab-initio calculations） methods. The differences of desorption energy and natural log of the frequency factor of CH2C12 and H20 in MIL-53（A1） were analyzed by a thermo active process using DSC measurements. The interaction energy of guest molecules with MIL-53（A1）, which corresponds to the desorption in the thermal active process, was explored using ab-initio calculation. As a result of the difference in the interaction energies of H20 and CH2C12 in MIL-53（A1）, the site near the p2-OH groups has two potential wells Both experimentally and computationally, MIL-53 presents the preferential adsorption of CH2C12 than H20.

文摘This work investigated the response of Cu46Zr42Al7Y5 glass ribbons to both dynamic and static heating using differential scanning calorimeter （DSC）. The DSC curve manifests three exothermic responses to dynamic heating, among which the first and the third one are the signatures of the normal sub-Tg （Tg, glass transition temperature） relaxation and the crystallization process, respectively. The second one is attributed to a partial overlap between the endothermic response to the glass transition and the exothermic response to the formation of ordered clusters. The cluster ordering, which begins at the final stage of glass transition, has been verified by the differences in the activation energy of the sub-Tg relax- ation, the cluster ordering and primary crystallization for both the as-spun and annealed ribbons. The cluster ordering could be driven by the large difference between the Zr-Y mixing enthalpy and the Al-Y （or Cu-Y） mixing enthalpy. The findings contribute to distinguishing between phase separation and clusters motion scenarios.

文摘The thermal diffusivity and heat capacity of β-SiAION ceramics with different Z values （0.6, 1.5, 3.0） were measured by laser flash technique and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）, respectively. The thermal conductivity of β-SiAION was calculated from thermal diffusivity, heat capacity and density and it decreased and then kept almost constant with increasing of temperature. Two different models representing effective thermal conductivity were established and the various parameters of these models were simulated based on the results from the present work. The fitted regression lines were in good agreement with the experimental values.

文摘Two kinds of rosin derivatives, （2-hydroxy-3-（methacryloyloxy）propyl 7-isopropyl-1,4a-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,4b,5,6,10,10a- decahydrophenanthrene-1-carboxylate） （HMPIDDC） and （（（7-isopropyl-1,4a-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9,10,10a-octahydrophenan- thren-1-yl）methyl）azanediyl）bis（2-hydroxypropane-3,1-diyl）bis（2-methylacrylate） （IDOMAHM） were synthesized under mild and easy to implement conditions. The two derivatives were employed as the rigid monomers to copolymerize with acrylated epoxidized soybean oil （AESO）, as so to improve the performance of the cured resins. The chemical structures of HMPIDDC and IDOMAHM were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance （NMR） and Fourier Transform Infrared （FT-IR） before copolymerization. The curing behaviors of pristine AESO, AESO/HMPIDDC blend, and AESO/IDOMAHM blend were monitored by differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）. Moreover, the thermal and mechanical properties of the cured resins were evaluated by universal mechanical testing, dynamic mechanical analysis （DMA） and thermogravimetric analysis （TGA）. The results demonstrated that after the introduction of HMPIDDC and IDOMAHM, the glass transition temperature and mechanical properties of the copolymerized resin were significantly increased. In one word, HMPIDDC and IDOMAHM showed dramatic potential to be used as bio-based compounds to improve the properties of soybean-oil based thermosets.

文摘The electrocaloric effect(ECE) of multilayer ceramic capacitor(MLCC) of Y5 V type was directly measured via a differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) method and a reference resistor was used to calibrate the heat flow due to the heat dissipation. The results are compared with those calculated from Maxwell relations by using the polarization data obtained from the polarization–electric field hysteresis loops. The direct method shows a larger ECE temperature change, which is accounted for the situation approaches an ideal condition. For the indirect method using Maxwell relations, only the polarization projection along the electric field was taken into account, which will be less than the randomly distributed real polarizations that contribute to the ECE. The MLCCs exhibit a broad peak of ECE around 80 C, which will be favorite for the practical ECE cooling devices.
