The thermal degradation of poly(oxycarbonylethylene) (poly-β-propiolactone) has been investigated within a temperature range of 180–220°C and under various pressures. The degradation begins with a considerable decrease in molecular weight, followed by an accelerating formation of acrylic acid. The reaction involves the following steps: 1 Random chain scission of polymer chains by typical ester pyrolysis with the formation of fragments one of which containing a carboxylic group the other one a CC-double bond at the chain end (Eq. (1)). 2 Formation of the volatile acrylic acid by scissions at the chain end, the amount of acrylic acid or the weight-loss increasing with the number of fragmentat…
Untersuchungen von polymeren im massenspektrometer, 6. Poly(oxy-1,4-phenylen), poly(thio-1,4-phenylen) und poly(dithio-1,4-phenylen)
1975
Der thermische Abbau von Poly(oxy-1,4-phenylen), Poly(thio-1,4-phenylen) und Poly(dithio-1,4-phenylen) wurde durch direkte Pyrolyse in der Ionenquelle des Massenspektrometers untersucht. Bei verringerter Elektronenenergie (15 eV) konnten die elektronenstosinduzierten Fragmentierungen der Pyrolysebruchstucke weitgehend zuruckgedrangt und die thermischen Abbaumechanismen ermittelt werden. In Abhangigkeit von den Bruckenatomen werden charakteristische Unterschiede im Abbauverhalten und in der Art der gebildeten Bruchstucke gefunden. Am Beispiel des Poly(dithio-1,4-phenylen)s kann gezeigt werden, das temperaturprogrammierte Pyrolyse und Verwendung eines Datensystems zur Ermittlung von thermisch…

A Novel Lab‐Scale Fixed‐Bed Pyrolysis Reactor for Biofuel Production from Agro‐Waste: Experimental Set‐up and Preliminary Life Cycle Assessment Study
2020
The present study reports the features and set-up of a novel lab-scale fixed bed pyrolysis reactor for the production of solid and liquid bio-fuels from waste biomass. The fixed bed reactor is tested by carrying out pyrolysis experiments using two different waste biomasses. Olive tree trimmings (OT) and olive pulp (OP), olive cultivation and olive mill industries residues respectively, are pyrolyzed, under nitrogen atmosphere, between 200 and 650 °C for a residence time of 0.5 h. The OT and OP pyrolysis chars were characterized in terms of mass yields, high calorific values (HHVs), proximate and elemental analysis. Char mass yields, on a dry basis (d.b.), decreased from 91 to 23 wt% and fro…
Study of the thermal behaviour of ordered bimetallic EDTA complexes
1986
Abstract The study of the thermal behaviour of a family of isostructural ordered bimetallic MM'(EDTA)·6H 2 O complexes has been performed using TG and DTA. Formal kinetic analysis of the dehydration step has been approached using non-isothermal procedures. The resulting correlation among the calculated E a values and the cationic sizes implies a common dehydration mechanism. Copper-containing complexes show distinctive behaviour during the ligand pyrolysis processes. A mechanistic interpretation involving formation of Cu(I) and Cu(0) intermediates is furnished. The evolution of the inorganic residues in systems containing both Co and Ni is especially considered given the interest in the (Co…
Study of the thermal decomposition of bromazepan complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)
1984
Abstract The thermal behaviour of complexes of bromazepan with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) was studied by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The complexes decompose in two steps: dehydration and decomposition. A correlation between the dehydration temperatures of MB2Xn and the coordinating ability of X is observed.
Potassium demineralization of coconut fiber via combined hydrothermal treatment and washing: Effect on pyrolysis kinetics, mechanisms, and bio-oil co…
2021
Abstract Producing clean energy from waste biomass via pyrolysis is critical in reducing dependence on fossil fuels and alleviating their environmental impacts. Inherent potassium in low energy density coconut fibers reduces bio-oil yield and compromises bio-oil quality and the integrity of reactors within which pyrolysis occurs. The effect of consecutive hydrothermal treatment (180°C-220 °C) and water washing on coconut fiber demineralization, pyrolysis behavior, and bio-oil composition was investigated. Chemical fractionation method classified the most occurring inorganic (potassium) as ~76% water-soluble, ~19% ion-exchangeable, and ~5% acid-soluble species. Demineralization results show …
Evaluation of the surface affinity of water in three biochars using fast field cycling NMR relaxometry
2016
Many soil functions depend on the interaction of water with soil. The affinity of water for soils can be altered by applying soil amendments like stone meal, manure, or biochar (a carbonaceous material obtained by pyrolysis of biomasses). In fact, the addition of hydrophobic biochar to soil may increase soil repellency, reduce water-adsorbing capacity, inhibit microbial activity, alter soil filter, buffer, storage, and transformation functions. For this reason, it is of paramount importance to monitor water affinity for biochar surface (also referred to as ‘wettability’) in order to better address its applications in soil systems. In this study, we propose the use of fast field cycling NMR …

1989
Abstract The study of the thermal behaviour of a family of bimetallic amorphous MM'(CDTA)· n H 2 O complexes has been performed using TG and DTA. The complexes decompose in three steps: dehydration, ligand pyrolysis and inorganic residue evoluation.
