Thermoanalytical studies on sodium 1,2-naphthoqoinone oximesolfonates

1991

Abstract Five sodium 1,2-nitrosonaphtholsulfonatea were prepared or purified and their thermal behaviour studied by TG, DTG and DSC. Pyrolysis MS technique was used to identify evolved gases and FTIR to characterize residuals. The water contents depended on preparation and conservation. The decomposition was analysed in three stages which can be formed by one or more steps. The final product was sodium sulfate in air at 530 °C and the mixture of carbon and sodium sulfide at 950 °C in nitrogen. The structure effects on decomposition is discussed.
