Heat capacities of 2-furfurylamine were measured by low-temperature adiabatic calorimetry in the temperature range from 5.6 to 356.1 K. Two phase transitions, solid phase transition and melting, were revealed at temperatures of 180.4 K and 228.17 K. Thermodynamic characteristics determined from experimental data show that the mechanism of solid phase transition is intermediate between order-disorder and displacive type. This conclusion is in agreement with X-ray crystallography data (Seidel et al., 2019). The standard thermodynamic functions in the condensed state (molar heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy) were calculated in the temperature range 5 - 350 K. Using the determined value of entropy for liquid 2-furfurylamine and available value of , the properties of formation, and , were obtained. The thermodynamic functions of gaseous 2-furfurylamine were calculated taking into account the internal rotation in this molecule. The required molecular constants were determined from quantum chemical calculations.

Adiabatic calorimetry is a reliable method for determining the purity of organic compounds, offering significant advantages over chromatography by eliminating the need for impurity separation. Despite its longstanding application, research in this area has been limited. This study comprehensively assessed the purity of tetradecanoic acid, n-heptadecane, and phenol using adiabatic calorimetry, comparing the results with those obtained through chromatography. The results demonstrated that tetradecanoic acid purity can be accurately measured, while n-heptadecane exhibited satisfactory repeatability in purity determination without sample separation in polycrystalline forms. Furthermore, the purity of phenol was effectively assessed using adiabatic calorimetry, where chromatography faced challenges. Overall, this study validates adiabatic calorimetry as a robust technique for organic compound purity determination and suggests avenues for further research in this domain.

The styrene-acrylonitrile bulk copolymerization reaction has a high risk of thermal runaway, but the factors influencing the thermal hazards of the reaction have not been adequately investigated. In this paper, the effects of different factors on the thermal runaway behavior of the styrene-acrylonitrile copolymerization are investigated using a combination of simulation and calorimetric testing. The simulation results indicate that increasing the proportion of styrene in the monomer feed significantly delays the onset of thermal runaway. The calorimetric results show that for di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP), azodiisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and tert-butyl peroxy benzoate (TBPB) initiators as examples, the TBPB-initiated copolymerization is found to have the maximum temperature-rising rate and pressure-rising rate. Under adiabatic runaway, the temperature and pressure change significantly with increasing TBPB concentration, indicating a great potential risk of thermal runaway. Calculation of kinetic parameters based on calorimetric data reveals thermal runaway mechanism.

The activation energies (E) and temperatures (T) of a variety of chemical reactions are analyzed to reveal the following correlation: E(kJ/mol)=(35±12)+(0.46±0.04)T(°C). The correlation is statistically significant having the Pearson's coefficient of linear correlation 0.873. Consequently, 76 % of the observed variation in the activations energy is caused by the actual relationship between E and T, whereas only 24 % is attributed to chance. A statistically similar correlation is revealed for crystallization of glasses. In practice, such correlations can be used to estimate the initial E values in nonlinear optimization of kinetic models or to quickly check whether the experimental activation energies disagree excessively with the expected values. An attempt is made to identify the physical origins of the correlation.

Phosphotungstic acid/boehmite (PWA/B) is used to catalyze oil shale (OS) pyrolysis, where either the quality of thus-catalyzed pyrolyzates could be upgraded distinctly with regard to an evident removal of heteroatom-containing species and a remarkable enrichment in the content of hydrocarbons and short-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons, or the proportion of a number of valuable basic chemicals of extensive engineering/scientific interests, e.g., pyrroles, thiophenes, α-olefines and diolefines, could be enhanced substantially. We reveal that the density/acidity of Brønsted acids of PWA/B are larger/stronger than those of Lewis acids such that their collaborate-competition actions confer it with fascinating catalytic performances. Our work likely launches new opportunities for manufacturing value-added chemical/tecton or producing high-quality petroleum-like fuel using OS as feedstock, and it provides important guidance for the design and seeking of sophisticated catalyst for OS exploitation.

The pyrolysis and combustion of gunpowder are inseparable. To explore the risk characteristics of single base propellant, the pyrolysis kinetics and spectral information of single base propellant during combustion were studied in this work. Notably, with an increased heating rate, the exothermic peak shifts to higher temperatures, and the exothermic rate intensifies during the pyrolysis process, resulting in an incomplete reaction and the formation of residues. The reaction of single base propellant encompasses decomposition stage and multiple level reactions, it is phase boundary reaction mechanism. NO is generated firstly at 441.108 K and is identified as the most influential substance in facilitating the transition from pyrolysis to combustion. It causes intensified molecular chain breakage, CO, NH3, H2O, HCN, CxHy, NO, CO2 are generated. The combustion process results in the destruction of the flocculent structure and amorphous regions within single base propellant, leading to a relatively smooth particle surface, reduced porosity, and structural collapse. Moreover, the combustion optical spectrum of single base propellant has a distinct characteristic absorptions at 589 nm, 767 nm, and 770 nm, corresponding to Na and K, respectively. The spectrals can be effectively discerned within 15 ms. During the from pyrolysis to combustion of the single base propellant, the reaction mechanism, spectral band and intensity provide valuable indicators for anticipating potential accidental combustion hazards.
火药的热解和燃烧密不可分。为了探究单基推进剂的危险特性,本研究对单基推进剂在燃烧过程中的热解动力学和光谱信息进行了研究。值得注意的是,随着加热速率的增加,放热峰向更高温度移动,热解过程中放热速率加剧,导致反应不完全并形成残留物。单基推进剂的反应包括分解阶段和多级反应,属于相界反应机理。NO 首先在 441.108 K 时生成,被认为是促进从热解向燃烧过渡的最有影响力的物质。它加剧了分子链的断裂,生成 CO、NH3、H2O、HCN、CxHy、NO 和 CO2。燃烧过程会破坏单基推进剂内部的絮状结构和无定形区域,导致颗粒表面相对光滑、孔隙率降低和结构坍塌。此外,单基推进剂的燃烧光学光谱在 589 纳米、767 纳米和 770 纳米处有明显的吸收特征,分别对应于 Na 和 K。这些光谱可在 15 毫秒内有效分辨。在单基推进剂从热解到燃烧的过程中,反应机制、光谱带和强度为预测潜在的意外燃烧危险提供了有价值的指标。

This study introduces a thermoanalytical approach utilizing sodium persulfate (PS) to expedite the humification of food waste (FW) through advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). The method harnesses heat-induced free radicals to break down complex organic compounds into simpler forms, leading to the formation of humic substances. We conducted an analysis of changes in soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), ammonia nitrogen, soluble proteins, and sugars, employing advanced techniques such as three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The findings indicate that the activation of PS at 70 °C effectively increases SCOD and DOC levels, converts proteins into soluble forms, and enhances NH4+-N content. This study, which focuses on the utilization of thermal methods, affirms that the thermal activation of persulfate (PS) significantly boosts the humification of food waste (FW), presenting a sustainable approach for waste management and resource recovery.

Oxygen-containing functional groups are the main heat source of coal spontaneous combustion, but their complex reaction pathways and microscopic mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, the molecular dynamics simulation of the composite combustion reaction model system with four oxygen-containing functional groups was conducted using the Machine Learning (ML) potential force field. The results showed that the stability order of these four oxygen-containing functional groups in the combustion reaction system is as follows: ‒OH < ‒COOH < ‒C‒O < ‒C = O. These simulation findings align with those obtained from in-situ FTIR experiments, thereby validating the accuracy of the ML potential force field. Notably, ‒C‒O exhibits the highest tendency for CO2 conversion (58.57 %); ‒COOH displays the highest tendency for H2O conversion (45.00 %); and ‒OH demonstrates the highest tendency for CO conversion (59.17 %). The essence of the oxidative combustion reaction pathway involving oxygen-containing functional groups lies in the heat accumulation resulting from the oxidative dehydrogenation effect.

Phytoremediation is the use of vegetation for the in situ treatment of contaminated environments. After plants have been used for phytoremediation of soils, their biomass can be used for example as value-added products or converted by thermochemical processes. Large-scale application of pyrolysis technology for phytoremediation biomass requires accurate predictive kinetic models and a characterization of the toxicity of the materials produced. The pyrolysis of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) was investigated on a laboratory scale by varying the process conditions and accurately modelled by considering four pseudo-components with first reaction order. The average value of the coefficients of determination is 0.9980. Biomass and biochar were characterized and the main components of the gas phase were monitored. We found Cd, Pb, and Zn in the roots, although in lower amounts than in the soil. Especially the leaves and stems showed negligible traces of these elements, so that these parts can be used directly, even if the hemp was grown on the polluted soil. After pyrolysis, the concentration of pollutants in the solid fraction decreased, which could be attributed to the reduction of metal oxides (or salts) to elemental form and subsequent evaporation. This pyrolysis process has the potential to treat heavy metal-rich biomass, with gas phase purification via condensation, yielding agricultural-grade biochar, CO-rich gas and a highly concentrated heavy metal stream in absorbent material.

This pyrolysis process has the potential to treat heavy metal-rich biomass, with gas phase purification via condensation, yielding agricultural-grade biochar, CO-rich gas and a highly concentrated heavy metal stream in absorbent material.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23058,"journal":{"name":"Thermochimica Acta","volume":"742 ","pages":"Article 179899"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142658911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, Cu(OH)F nanoparticles are prepared through a simple hydrothermal reaction and their effects on the thermal oxidation and ignition characteristics of micron-sized Al powder (μ-Al) are explored for the first time. Thermal analysis in air atmosphere (50∼1050 °C) shows that compared to raw μ-Al, the normalized weight gain of Al in Al-Cu(OH)F increases by about 36.9%, 64.8%, and 106.3% when the added Cu(OH)F is 1 wt%, 3 wt%, and 5 wt%, respectively. After mixed with NH4ClO4, electric ignition and open-air combustion tests show shortened ignition delay time (by 42.6%∼63.8%) and increased maximum light intensity (by 48.9%∼117.8%) for Al-Cu(OH)F. The effects of Cu(OH)F result from its decomposition products, namely, HF and CuO. HF reacts with alumina shell to form AlF3, which sublimes at high temperature and thus exposes Al core instantly, while CuO can react with Al core to release heat, further facilitating the thermal oxidation and ignition processes.
