Thermogravimetric analysis. A tool to evaluate the ability of mixtures in consolidating waterlogged archaeological woods
2010
Waterlogged archaeological woods (Pinus pinaster, Ulmus cf. minor and Fagus sylvatica L.) were consolidated by using Colophony, Rosin 100, and a mixture of Poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) 3000 and Poly(propylene) glycol (PPG) 425. The efficiency of the consolidants was estimated by determining the content entrapped into the cavity of degraded wood. For this purpose, thermogravimetry was demonstrated to be a reliable tool. In the case that the polymeric mixture was used for impregnation, it was also possible to discriminate the amount of PEG 3000 from that of PPG 425 captured by the wood capillaries. Regardless of the wood nature, all the consolidants were present in treated samples in large amo…
Analysis of archaeological samples and local clays using ICP-AES, TGâDTG and FTIR techniques
2000
Abstract The spectrochemical and thermal analysis of different archaeological samples as bricks, terra-cotta and local clays were carried out. The concentration of major and minor elements of samples was determined by sequential inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. The method was tested by determining Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, Mn, Pb, Cu, Zn, Ti, Na and K in the standard solutions and reference material GXR-4. The precision of the determination (relative standard deviation) ranged from 0.4 to 1.54%. The clay minerals are the main materials for the production of bricks and terra-cotta figures. Thermogravimetric (TG) and differential (TG–DTG) analysis and Fourier transform infra…
Upgrade of citrus waste as a biofuel via slow pyrolysis
2015
Abstract Slow pyrolysis (200–650 °C) experiments on citrus residues (orange peel waste “OP” and lemon peel waste “LP”) were carried out in lab scale fixed bed batch reactor. Bio-oil and bio-char obtained by thermal degradation are more stable, more homogeneous and higher energy content fuels when compared to the parent feedstock. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed higher stability of LP waste, which appears related to the higher lignin content . Mass and energy yields of solid and liquid products (i.e., char and oil) were measured to determine the effects of peak temperature on feedstock. A linear correlation between Gross Calorific Value (GCV), peak temperatures and mass loss (ML) all…
Tin-based mesoporous silica for the conversion of CO2 into dimethyl carbonate.
2011
Sn-based SBA-15 was prepared by reacting di-n-butyldimethoxystannane with SBA-15 pretreated with trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) to cap the external hydroxyl groups. Small-angle X-ray diffraction (SXRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), nitrogen adsorption/desorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission (ICP-AES) measurements allow us to propose that the organotin species are located within the pore channels of the mesoporous host. This novel material catalyzes selectively the coupling of CO(2) with methanol to dimethyl carbonate (DMC). The reaction time-conversion dependence shows that a turnover number (TON) of 1…
VAKUUMWAAGEN Teil 1: Einleitung und Makrowaagen
1997
Waagen, bei denen sich das zu wagende Gut im Vakuum befindet, werden als Vakuumwaagen bezeichnet. Makrowaagen sind fur Lasten von mehr als 100 g ausgelegt. Zum Vergleich von Masseprototypen ohne Auftrieb wurden Vakuum-Komparatorwaagen entwickelt. Grose Vakuumwaagen werden zur Molekulargewichtsbestimmung und zur Messung der Gasdichte verwendet. Fur chemische Untersuchungen unter reduziertem Gasdruck und zur thermogravimetrischen Analyse werden Vakuum-Analysenwaagen mit elektrischer Meswerterfassung eingesetzt. Zur Steuerung von Produktionsprozessen in kontrollierter Atmosphare dienen Wagezellen unterschiedlicher Bauart. Balances destined for weighing of goods in vacuum are labeled as vacuum …
Elaboration of Trans-Resveratrol Derivative-Loaded Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Glioma Treatment
2019
In this work, new nanohybrids based on superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were elaborated and discussed for the first time as nanovectors of a derivative molecule of trans-resveratrol (RSV), a natural antioxidant molecule, which can be useful for brain disease treatment. The derivative molecule was chemically synthesized (4&rsquo
A highly reduced graphene oxide/ZrOx–MnCO3 or –Mn2O3 nanocomposite as an efficient catalyst for selective aerial oxidation of benzylic alcohols
2017
Highly reduced graphene oxide (HRG) nanocomposites of manganese carbonate doped with (1%) zirconia (ZrOx) nanoparticles [ZrOx(1%)–MnCO3/(X%)HRG (where X = 0–7)] were prepared employing a facile co-precipitation method in which the percentage of HRG was varied. The resulting nanocomposite was calcined at 300 °C. Further calcination of the catalyst at 500 °C resulted in the conversion of manganese carbonate to manganese oxide [ZrOx(1%)–Mn2O3/(X%)HRG]. The effect of the inclusion of HRG on the catalytic activity along with its comparative performance between carbonates and their respective oxides was studied for the liquid-phase selective oxidation of benzylic alcohols into corresponding aldeh…
A salt-induced mechanism for the swelling of black liquor droplet during devolatilization
2017
Abstract Black liquor (BL) from the pulp and paper industry is a significant bioenergy source. Swelling of BL droplet during the pyrolysis stage of combustion and gasification is a profound phenomenon affecting various boiler processes. However, the mechanism for droplet swelling has remains a puzzle due to an insufficient understanding of the formation of the plastic droplet at the pyrolysis stage of the thermal conversion. Thermogravimetric studies with model aliphatic carboxylates unraveled the melting and decomposition behavior of the complex mixture of BL salts during pyrolysis, indicating that the melting of salts forming a liquid state may be the primary cause for the development of …
Fullerene-ionic-liquid conjugates: a new class of hybrid materials with unprecedented properties.
2015
A modular approach has been followed for the synthesis of a series of fullerene-ionic-liquid (IL) hybrids in which the number of IL moieties (two or twelve), anion, and cation have been varied. The combination of C60 and IL give rise to new unique properties in the conjugates such as solubility in water, which was higher than 800 mg mL(-1) in several cases. In addition, one of the C60 -IL hybrids has been employed for the immobilization of palladium nanoparticles through ion exchange followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. Surprisingly, during the reduction several carbon nanostructures were formed that comprised nano-onions and nanocages with few-layer graphene sidewalls, which have…
Synthesis, thermal properties and X-ray structural study of weak C–H⋯OC hydrogen bonding in aliphatic polyester dendrimers
2004
Dendritic polyester compounds based on polyol with three, four and six reactive hydroxy groups as a molecular core, chloroacetyl chloride (or bromoacetyl bromide) and sodium metal enolate were prepared by a simple two-step synthetic procedure. The compounds were characterised by using the NMR and MS techniques, and the thermal properties were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The structures of the crystalline compounds were determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. Detailed analysis of the structures showed that the self-complementarity of the molecules together with a multitude of weak C-H⋯O=C hydrogen bonding results in crystal…
