The thermal decomposition of Perilla frutescens polysaccharide was examined by thermogravimetry, differential thermogravimetry, and differential thermal analysis. The results showed that the mass loss of the substance proceeded in three steps. The first stage can be attributed to the expulsion of the water from ambient temperature to 182°C. The second stage corresponded to devolatilization from...

Several papers have been described on the thermal stability of the sweetener, C12H19Cl3O8 (Sucralose). Nevertheless no study using thermoanalytical techniques was found in the literature. Simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and infrared spectroscopy, have been used to study the thermal stability and thermal decomposit...

Coordination of copper (I) and (II) salts to melamine (Mel) produces [CuX(Mel)] [X = Cl (5a), Br (5b), I (5c), NO3 (5d)], [CuX2(Mel)2] Æ S [X = Cl, S = H2O (6a); X = Cl, S = 2 MeOH (6b); X = Br, S = 1/2H2O (6c); X = OAc, S = none (6d)], and [Cu(OAc)2(Mel)] (7). The chemical identity of the complexes has been confirmed by elemental analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetry, and infrar...

Nano sized ZnS and MnS2 were synthesized through a simple wet chemical route. In this Synthesis metal sulfides were used as the starting material and allowed to react with the transition metal source at 60°C for 75 minutes. The products were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Photoluminescence spectra (PL), Raman Spectra, Thermogravimetry analysis Diff...

Mucilage was isolated from the seeds of Diospyros melonoxylon Roxb., a plant growing naturally in the forests of India. Various physico-chemical methods like particle analysis, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetry analysis, molecular weight by gel permeation chromatography, rheometry, elemental analysis, x-ray diffracti...

Solid state M-L compounds, where M stands for bivalent Mn, Ni, Cu and L is 4-methoxybenzoate, have been synthesized. Simultaneous thermogravimetry – differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray powder diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and complexometry were used to characterize and to study the thermal behaviour of these compounds. The results led to information about t...

A method for measuring the vapor pressures of a wide range of materials using a conventional thermobalance and standard sample holders is described. The equipment is calibrated using pure reference materials of known vapor pressure and exploiting the relationship between volatilization rate and vapor pressure based on the Langmuir equation for free evaporation. Enthalpies of vaporization and su...
