Importance of the liquid to solid weight ratio in the powdered solid-liquid reactions Example drawn from cement constituent hydration

1997

Abstract It seems justified to wonder if the chemical processes which have been evidenced from diluted stirred suspensions are or are not in accordance with those involved in a stagnant paste. The present paper is aimed at clarifying this question which is in connection with the problem of the so called ‘dormant period’ or ‘induction period’ at the beginning of the hydration of Portland cement.

Hydration of cementitious materials, present and future

2011

This paper is a keynote presentation from the 13th International Congress on the Chemistry of Cement. It discusses the underlying principles of hydration and recent evidence for the mechanisms governing this process in both Portland cements and other cementitious materials. Given the overriding imperative to improve the sustainability of cementitious materials, routes to reducing CO2 emissions are discussed and the impact of supplementary materials on hydration considered.

Assessment of Postharvest Dehydration Kinetics and Skin Mechanical Properties of “Muscat of Alexandria” Grapes by Response Surface Methodology

2016

The dipping of berries in a dilute solution of sodium hydroxide during a short time was evaluated as pretreatment undertaken prior to convective dehydration of wine grapes. The impact of the sodium hydroxide content and dipping time on weight loss (WL) at different dehydration times was thoroughly assessed using central composite design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RSM). Furthermore, the effects of these two variables were also investigated on the skin mechanical properties of dehydrated grapes. The effect of these two pretreatment factors on the dehydration kinetics and skin hardness was satisfactorily fitted to regression models. The berry pretreatment with low sodium hydroxide…

Dynamic Self-Consistent Field Approach for Studying Kinetic Processes in Multiblock Copolymer Melts

2020

The self-consistent field theory is a popular and highly successful theoretical framework for studying equilibrium (co)polymer systems at the mesoscopic level. Dynamic density functionals allow one to use this framework for studying dynamical processes in the diffusive, non-inertial regime. The central quantity in these approaches is the mobility function, which describes the effect of chain connectivity on the nonlocal response of monomers to thermodynamic driving fields. In a recent study [Mantha et al, Macromolecules 53, 3409 (2020)], we have developed a method to systematically construct mobility functions from reference fine-grained simulations. Here we focus on melts of linear chains …

Electrochemical characterization of solid state reaction kinetics using voltammetry of microparticles. Application to thermal decomposition of iron c…

2011

The voltammetry of microparticles is applied to characterize the electrocatalytic ability of solids towards selected electrochemical processes. The variation of catalytic currents under fixed electrochemical conditions permits to obtain composition/time data to be fitted with solid state kinetic models. This methodology is applied to analyze the thermal decomposition of magnesiochromite ferroan and chlorite chromian standards and a South Africa iron chromite ore on the basis of the significant catalytic effect on the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in aqueous alkaline media at mineral-modified graphite electrodes. Measurement of the time variation of catalytic current for OE…

Kinetische untersuchungen zur strahleninduzierten festkörperpolymerisation von trioxan und tetroxan IV. Mitt. der Reihe “kinetische und morphologisch…

1971

Die strahlungsinduzierte Polymerisation von kristallinem Tetroxan und Trioxan wurde untersucht und der Einflus von Strahlendosis, Reaktionszeit und -temperatur auf den Umsatz und das Molekulargewicht der entstehenden POM, insbesondere bei der Nachpolymerisation, studiert. Die Zeit-Umsatz-Kurven fur die Nachpolymerisation laufen bei beiden Monomeren asymptotisch gegen einem Grenzwert des Umsatzes, der mit steigender Reaktionstemperatur ansteigt. Die Aktivierungsenergie der Nachpolymerisation wurde zu 24 ± 2 kcal/Mol fur Tetroxan und zu 36–38 kcal/Mol fur Trioxan bestimmt. Die Zeit(t)-Umsatz(x)-Kurven fur Tetroxan lassen sich durch die empirische Gleichung: beschreiben, wobei k1 und k2 Konsta…

Ascorbic acid degradation kinetics in mushrooms in a high-temperature short-time process controlled by a thermoresistometer

2004

Abstract The degradation of ascorbic acid was studied in mushrooms heated at temperatures between 110 and 140°C, high-temperature short-time conditions, in a five-channel computer-controlled thermoresistometer. The kinetics parameters were calculated on the assumption that there are 2 degradation mechanisms, one aerobic (during the first few seconds of the process) and the other anaerobic. The 2 stages followed first-order reaction kinetics, with E a =46.36 kJ/mol for aerobic degradation and E a =49.57 kJ/mol for anaerobic degradation.

High accuracy [sup 18]O(p,α)[sup 15]N reaction rate in the 8⋅10[sup 6]–5⋅10[sup 9] K temperature range

2011

The 18O(p,α)15N reaction is of great importance in several astrophysical scenarios, as it influences the production of key isotopes such as 19F, 18O and 15N. In this work, a high accuracy 18O(p,α)15N reaction rate is proposed, based on the simultaneous fit of direct measurements and of the results of a new Trojan Horse experiment. In particular, we have focused on the study of the broad 660 keV 1/2+ resonance. Since Γ∼100–300 keV, it strongly influences the nearly‐zero‐energy region of the cross section by means of the low‐energy tail of the resonant contribution and dominates the cross section at higher energies. Here we provide a factor of 2 larger reaction rate above T∼0.5 109 K based ov…
