Thermogravimetric Study of the M-Co-O System: I, M = Ta and Nb at 1200°C

Phase equilibria in the Ta-Co-O and Nb-Co-O systems have been studied at 1200°C at oxygen partial pressures from 10^−0.68 to 10^−13.50 atm for the former and from 10^−0.68 to 10^−13.30 atm for the latter. In both systems, M₂CoO₆ and M₂Co₄O₉ are stable ternary compounds under the experimental conditions, and a new phase, Nb₅Co₂O₁₄, has been identified. The Ta-Co-O system is simple, whereas the Nb-Co-O system is somewhat more complicated because of the extra phase. The lattice constants of the ternary compounds have been determined and compared with previous values. The standard Gibbs energies of reactions have been determined using oxygen partial pressures in equilibrium with three solid phases.     

Thermogravimetry and wide angle X-ray diffraction study on the structure of irradiated and thermally treated kodar film

The degradation behaviour of Kodar [poly(1,4-cyclohexylene dimethyl-eneterephthalate)] was investigated in air using thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis and wide angle X-ray diffraction studies. The rates of crystallization and degradation were influenced by thermal exposure and polychromatic irradiation (Λ > 290 nm) for different time intervals. The crystallinity changes (X_c%) and activation energies (ΔE) for the systems have been determined.

High-temperature oxidation of aluminum electroplated Fe-Mn alloys

Austenitic Mn-Al alloys (20–32 W/O Mn, 7–10 Al, 2–3 Si, 1C) were found to have satisfactory oxidation resistance up to 950°C under isothermal conditions in air. Surface enrichment of aluminum is a necessary condition for obtaining an almost pure alumina scale for uses at higher temperatures. Four different Mn-steels were Al-coated by the Capuano electroplating process. In all the steels there was an increase in the hot-oxidation resistance. The best results were obtained with steels containing both Al and Si, and this for temperatures up to 1100°C. No spalling was noticed during rapid cooling of the test pieces. Silicon was found to act as a diffusion barrier to outward iron diffusion. It appears that there is formation of a pure, thin film of alumina from the matrix which interacts with the aluminum diffusing from the superimposed, coating for the formation of good bonds.

Volatility of Simulated High-Level Nuclear Waste Glass by Thermogravimetric Analysis

The volatilities of simulated, high-level nuclear waste glasses have been measured using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). These volatilities were measured in the region of the glass transition temperature ( T _g) of the waste glasses, which is between 450° and 500°C. These data were obtained because the Waste Acceptance Preliminary Specifications require that no foreign materials be released into the canistered waste form upon heating of the canister to this glass transition temperature. In fact, all of the waste glass samples studied actually exhibited a net weight gain upon heating. This weight gain was shown to be due to oxygen uptake through oxidation of FeO. Powdered glass samples did show a small weight loss which was smaller in magnitude than the weight gain and was associated with water desorption. No true volatility was detected to the level of sensitivity (0.01 wt%) of the TGA instrument. This converts to a sensitivity of 330 μ g/m² of glass surface and a corresponding minimum value of 41 mg of volatiles for each Defense Waste Processing Facility conistered waste form. TGA experiments carried out at higher temperatures (800°C) revealed that organic concentrations in the waste glasses are less than 0.01 wt%. Thus, these results demonstrate that the Defense Waste Processing Facility will be able to comply with the Waste Acceptance Preliminary Specifications on the exclusion of foreign materials from the canistered waste forms, after exposure to T _g.     

Cinétique de dégagement des matières volatiles lors de la pyrolyse d'électrodes de carbone industrielles

In aluminium plants, the anode baking process is associated with an important release of volatile combustible matter. It is the purpose of this study to investigate the kinetics of the evolution of these volatiles. A large thermogravimetry set-up has been designed in such a way that it could simulate real plant conditions. Samples of two distinct masses have been subjected to pyrolysis at different heating regimes. The loss of weight together with the concentrations of the released gases were recorded on a continuous basis during the temperature rise. Kinetic results were found for methane, hydrogen and tar. No variation of the order of reaction with the heating rate was observed, whereas the activation energy and the pre-exponential factor increased. Furthermore, for the range of sample dimensions studied, it was found that the mass of the solid had no significant influence on the kinetic parameters.
