Thermal behaviors and combustion kinetics of Thai lignite with different SO₃-free CaO contents were investigated. Nonisothermal thermogravimetric method was carried out under oxygen environment at heating rates of 10, 30, and 50°C min⁻¹ from ambient up to 1300°C. Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) methods were adopted to estimate the apparent activation energy (E) for the...

The complexation equilibria of Fe(III) with resorcylic acid (2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, DHB) were studied spectrophotometrically in ethanol-water (4 + 6, v/v) at an ionic strength of 0.1 M NaClO4. The complexation reactions were demonstrated and characterized. A simple, rapid, and sensitive method based on the formation of the Fe(III)-DHB complex at pH 2.5 (lambdamax = 520 nm, epsilon = 0.8 x 1...

This work deals with the influence of functionalization degree on the thermogravimetric and rheological behaviour of NCO-functionalized chitosanand chitin-based oleogels. Chitosan and chitin were functionalized using different proportions of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) and subsequently dispersed in castor oil to promote the chemical reaction between the –NCO group of the modified biop...

Amber from a Lower Cretaceous outcrop at San Just, located in the Eastern Iberian Peninsula (Escucha Formation, Maestrat Basin), was investigated to evaluate its physico-chemical properties. Thermogravimetric (TG) and Differential Thermogravimetric (DTG) analyses, infra-red spectroscopy, elemental and C-isotope analyses were performed. Physico-chemical differences between the internal light nuc...

This work reports the thermodynamic characterizations of organometallic species as a vehicle for the rapid separation of volatile nuclear fission products via gas chromatography due to differences in adsorption enthalpy. Because adsorption and sublimation thermodynamics are linearly correlated, there is considerable motivation to determine sublimation enthalpies. A method of isothermal thermogr...

Um planejamento fatorial foi aplicado para avaliar o conteúdo de cinzas em mel pela termogravimetria bem como para estabelecer as condições de análise ótimas que produzem conteúdos de cinzas em concordância com aqueles obtidos pelo método oficial (gravimetria). Os efeitos de taxa de aquecimento e papel de fibra de vidro foram significativos bem como o efeito de interação entre estas variáveis. ...

Solid-state Ln-Bz compounds, where Ln stands for trivalent lanthanides and Bz is benzoate have been synthesized. Simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis in a CO2 atmosphere were used to study the thermal decomposition of these compounds.
