چکیده

Evaluation of thermal stability and runaway behavior of any exothermic chemical system is of great importance for the design and operation of a chemical process. The evaluation process should be based on a thorough investigation of the reaction chemistry including reaction pathways, thermodynamic, and kinetic parameters. When addressing the reactivity hazards of any reacting system, the dominant pathway(s) should be identified. Identifying the main reaction pathway under specific conditions will lead to a better thermodynamic and kinetic characterization of the reacting system. In this article, the thermal stability and runaway behavior of styrene-acrylonitrile copolymerization reaction system in bulk is evaluated. Traditional thermal analysis techniques (calorimetric analysis) are combined with computational quantum chemistry methods and empirical thermodynamic-energy correlations. Reaction pathways are identified from the theoretical approach and verified by experimental measurements. The results of this analysis are compared to literature data for this system.

Thermal Stability and Crystallization Behaviour of Modified ABS/PP Nanocomposites

In this research work, poly (acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene)/polypropylene (ABS/PP) blends were processed by melt compounding in a twin-screw extruder. Upgrading of the thermal characteristics of the obtained materials was attempted by the incorporation of organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT), as well as, by the addition of two types of compatibilizers; polypropylene grafted with maleic ...

Hydrothermal Synthesis of Bi2S3 Nanostructures and ABS-Based Polymeric Nanocomposite

Bismuth sulfide nano-rods and nano-flowers were synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction at a relatively low temperature. Thioglycolic acid is used as sulfur source and capping agent simultaneously. Bi2S3 nanostructures were then added to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer. The thermal stability behavior of ABS filled with bismuth sulfide nano-rods were investigated by thermogravime...

Performance evaluation of a full-scale ABS resin manufacturing wastewater treatment plant: a case study in Tabriz Petrochemical Complex

 Background: The measurement data regarding the influent and effluent of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) provides a general overview, demonstrating an overall performance of WWTP. Nevertheless, these data do not provide the suitable operational information for the optimization of individual units involved in a WWTP. A full-scale evolution of WWTP was carried out in this study via a r...

Application of the Monomer Reactivity Ratios to the Kinetic- Model Discrimination and the Solvent-Effect Determination for the Styrene/Acrylonitrile Monomer System

The impact of reactivity ratios determined with the Nelder and Mead simplex method on the kinetic-model discrimination and the solvent-effect determination for the styrene/acrylonitrile monomer system was investigated. For the monomer system, the penultimate unit effect was inversely proportional to the polarity of the solvent: acetonitrile , N,N-dimethylformamide , methyl ethyl ketone , toluen...
