Enthalpies of formation of selected Pd2YZ Heusler compounds

Standard enthalpies of formation of selected ternary Pd-based Heusler type compositions Pd₂YZ (Y = Cu, Hf, Mn, Ti, Zr; Z = Al, Ga, In, Ge, Sn) were measured using high temperature direct synthesis calorimetry. The measured enthalpies of formation (in kJ/mole of atoms) of the Heusler compounds are, Pd₂HfAl (−81.6 ± 2.4); Pd₂HfGa (−79.9 ± 2.9); Pd₂HfIn (−76.4 ± 1.4); Pd₂HfSn (−77.6 ± 1.6); Pd₂MnSn (−54.6 ± 3.1); Pd₂TiGa (−65.6 ± 3.6); Pd₂TiIn (−69.9 ± 2.1); Pd₂TiSn (−78.6 ± 2.4); Pd₂ZrAl (−85.3 ± 3.0); Pd₂ZrGa (−76.2 ± 1.9); Pd₂ZrIn (−85.1 ± 3.9); Pd₂ZrSn (−92.2 ± 3.1); for the B2 compounds, Pd₂MnAl (−87.1 ± 3.0); Pd₂MnGa (−54.5 ± 1.7); Pd₂MnIn (−41.0 ± 2.5); Pd₂TiAl (−81.4 ± 1.9); for the tetragonal compound Pd₂CuAl (−55.2 ± 3.0) and for the orthorhombic compound Pd₂CuSn (−43.1 ± 2.3). Values were compared with those from published first principles calculation and the Open Quantum Materials Database (OQMD). Lattice parameters of these compounds were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Microstructures were identified using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Selected alloys were annealed at various temperatures to investigate phase transformations and phase relationships.     

Thermodynamic assessment of the Ga-Sn-Zn system

The integral molar mixing enthalpy of liquid ternary Ga-Sn-Zn alloys has been investigated using drop calorimetry method along five intersections as follows: X_Ga/X_Zn = 3/1 at 720 K, x_Ga/x_Zn = 1/1 at 718 K and 720 K, x_Ga/x_Zn = 1/3 at 718 K, x_Ga/x_Sn = 3/17 at 718 K and for x_Ga/x_Sn = 1/3 at 720 K. Based on obtained thermodynamic results and those available in the literature the thermodynamic optimization was done using Thermo-Calc software. Next, the phase equilibria in the binary and ternary systems were calculated and the results were compared with those obtained using different experimental techniques.     

Torrefaction of pine in a bench-scale screw conveyor reactor

Numerous works are reported in the literature regarding the torrefaction of biomass in batch processes. However, in industrial applications, continuous reactors and processes may by more interesting as this allows for the integration of continuous mass and heat flows. To shed light on the operation of continuous torrefaction processes, this work presents the findings of continuous, bench-scale (2.5 kg h⁻¹) torrefaction experiments using pine wood particles as a feed material in a screw conveyor reactor. The shifts in product mass yields were in line with theoretical expectations for changes in reactor temperature and reactor residence times whereas the degree of filling within the screw reactor and the flow of the nitrogen purge gas were found to be negligible. The process allowed for the measurement of the particle surface temperatures throughout the length of the reactor and significant temperature differences where measured between the wall of the reactor and the reactor screw. The proximate composition and the higher heating value of the torrefied biomass were found to be correlated to the ratio of the mass of dry biomass feed to the mass of the torrefied biomass produced. Important observations regarding the operability of such a process, also relevant to larger-scale processes, include the need to prevent the occurrence of torrefaction vapour condensation (which leaves the torrefaction reactor in the form of a saturated vapour) in the presence of fine, solid particles as this leads to rapid particle agglomeration and process blockage.     

Isothermal calorimetry investigation of Li1+xMn2−yAlzO4 spinel

The heat generation of LiMn₂O₄, Li_1.156Mn_1.844O₄, and Li_1.06Mn_1.89Al_0.05O₄ spinel cathode materials in a half-cell system was investigated by isothermal micro-calorimetry (IMC). The heat variations of the Li/LiMn₂O₄ cell during charging were attributed to the LiMn₂O₄ phase transition and order/disorder changes. This heat variation was largely suppressed when the stoichiometric spinel was doped with excess lithium or lithium and aluminum. The calculated entropy change (dE/dT) from the IMC confirmed that the order/disorder change of LiMn₂O₄, which occurs in the middle of the charge, was largely suppressed with lithium or lithium and aluminum doping. The dE/dT values obtained did not agree between the charge and the discharge at room temperature (25 °C), which was attributed to cell self-discharge. This discrepancy was not observed at low temperature (10 °C). Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) results showed that the fully charged spinel with lithium doping has better thermal stability.     

铝酸钙水泥、硅酸盐水泥和β-半水石膏混合物中钙矾石的膨胀性能

本文利用现场同步加速X-射线衍射、等温量热仪和膨胀测量等手段,研究了在20℃,100%相对湿度下,由25%(重量比)的铝酸钙水泥、12.5%的硅酸盐水泥、12.5%的β-半水石膏和50%的水组成的浆体的水化。水化伊始,首先形成了石膏和钙矾石,同时半水石膏也相应消耗(0-45min内)。随后石膏继续消耗,钙矾石持续形成,2h45min后石膏消耗完毕,铝酸盐-AFm开始形成,同时钙矾石的数量在7h内保持不变。热曲线的第一个峰源自机械搅拌、初始润湿和溶解,还有钙矾石和石膏的形成,第二个峰为石膏被钙矾石所替代,第三个对应于铝酸盐-AFm的形成。石膏被钙矾石替代伴随着0.7%平均线性膨胀。     

Calorimetric and structural analysis of the new phase Al33Ni16Zr51 produced by direct synthesis and mechanical alloying

A new phase has been synthesized in the ternary phase diagram Al–Ni–Zr: its nominal composition is Al₃₃Ni₁₆Zr₅₁. For the Al₃₃Ni₁₆Zr₅₁ compound obtained by mixing the three components in suitable proportions, a study has been carried out by direct synthesis (calorimetry) and mechanical alloying in our laboratory. With the first method we know directly the enthalpy of formation of this alloy. For the amorphous alloys prepared by mechanical alloying we can determine the crystallisation enthalpy with the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method. So it is possible to determine a fundamental piece of information: the amorphous alloy formation enthalpy.     

Effect of EVA on the fresh properties of cement paste

The improved workability effect of latex in dry mortars has not been fully clarified. The purpose of this research was to investigate the influence of the EVA copolymer on the cement hydration and on the rheological properties of cement pastes. The results pointed to a minor influence of EVA on cement hydration and to a ball-bearing effect. In fact, the shear thinning behavior of reference paste at 15 min after mixing changed to shear thickening owing to the EVA addition. This behavior could be explained by the decrease in the interparticle separation distance as consequence of the solid content increase in case of shearing detachment of weakly adhered EVA particles from the cement particles surfaces. The expected EVA plasticizing effect was observed at 60 min. Such behavior points to the stabilization of EVA on the cement particles surfaces, thus resulting in a steric barrier effect.
