Chemical Equilibria in High Temperature Condition

CHEMICAL REACTION AT HIGH TEMPERATURE AND HIGH PRESSURE VI Polymorphic Transition in ZnP, at High Temperature and High Pressure

:1 new pressure-induced modification of zincdiphosphide, ZnP2, has been prepared by the di reel union o(zinc with phosphorus and also through the polymorphic transitions of both monoclinic and tetragonal ZnP2. The application of pressures above 20 kb combined with temperatures above 150'C is required for [be synthesis. The new modification of ZnP2 has a pseuda•cuhic cps[al symmetry with a latti...

High-temperature Chemical Processing on Asteroids: an Oxygen Isotope

Chemical equilibria studies using multivariate analysis methods.

Chemical multiequilibria systems can be monitored efficiently with the aid of spectroscopic techniques. Both hard- and soft-modeling are effective and powerful tools to extract chemical information from spectroscopic data. Recently, hybrid approaches that combine the flexibility of soft-modeling with the precise solutions provided by hard-modeling have been proposed. Here, we tested the perform...

High-temperature chemical processing on asteroids: An oxygen isotope perspective

High-temperature isothermal chemical cycling for solar-driven fuel production.

The possibility of producing chemical fuel (hydrogen) from the solar-thermal energy input using an isothermal cycling strategy is explored. The canonical thermochemical reactive oxide, ceria, is reduced under high temperature and inert sweep gas, and in the second step oxidized by H2O at the same temperature. The process takes advantage of the oxygen chemical potential difference between the in...
