Abstract  

Thermogravimetry has been widely used for the characterization of several biomasses but the most useful information given by this technique has been normally concerned to the relative amounts of humidity, hemi-cellulose, cellulose and lignin present in the biomass. TG-FTIR has been used to yield qualitative data about the pyrolysis products, in an exploratory way, by some authors. In the present paper, this technique was employed to reach comparative data about the products of pyrolysis of biomasses that are potentially available at economic bases for the production of biofuels. Agricultural residues such as coconut shell, sugarcane bagasse, corn stalks and peanut shell were chosen to be investigated. For all samples, the thermogravimetric curves showed a mass loss between 35 and 400 °C changed up to 73%, while that the loss between 400 and 800 °C changed up to 26%. TG-FTIR indicated tendencies in the rate of the formation of important species during the pyrolysis process of the four biomasses studied. The interpretation of the spectra allowed the proposition of characteristic absorbance ratios and the comparison of these values allowed inferences about the relative abundances of components formed in the pyrolysis of the biomasses. As an example of the possible inferences reached, among the species formed in the pyrolysis condensate, called bio-oil, the formation of carboxylic acids has to be specially considered due to their corrosivity. Thus, the data produced indicated that a bio-oil derived from peanut shell should be a little less acidic while the one derived from sugarcane bagasse should be showed more acidic among the biomasses studied.

Abstract  

Tris(1,10-phenanthroline) iron(II) ([Fe(phen)3]2+) ion synthesized in the supercage of zeolite Y has been characterized by Mössbauer, UV-VIS reflectance, and X-ray diffraction methods. The complex in the supercage may be significantly distorted by interaction between the complex and the supercage wall. Pyrolysis mechanism under air of the complex in the supercage was studied on the basis of Mössbauer spectra.

Csontszénnel és növényi eredetű bioszénnel tenyészedényes modellkísérletet állítottunk be, hogy feltárjuk a kiválasztott magyarországi talaj fizikai és kémiai tulajdonságaira gyakorolt hatásokat. A tenyészedényes modellkísérletben a kezeléseknek megfelelően (0, 1, 2,5, 5 és 10%) 500 cm3-es műanyag edényekbe 200 g talajkeveréket tettünk. Vizsgáltuk a minták AL-oldható P- és K-tartalmát, vízoldható összes sótartalmát, desztillált vizes pH-ját, kötöttségét és szerves-C-tartalmát (Tyurin módszerével).A kísérlet eredményeképpen megállapítható, hogy a csontszén (ABC) bekeverés hatására jelentősen megnőtt az AL-oldható P2O5-tartalom a talajkeverékekben, köszönhetően a csontszén eredendően nagy P-tartalmának.A pH és az összes sótartalom jelentősen nőtt a csontszén (ABC) kezeléseket követően, elsősorban a csontszén nagy ásványianyag-tartalma miatt. A növényi eredetű bioszén (BC) kezelések esetében azonban pH-növekedés csak a nagyobb koncentrációnál volt tapasztalható, az összes sótartalomban pedig nem tapasztaltunk változást. A sótartalom- és pH-növekedés egyik kezelés során sem okozott túlzott sófelhalmozódást. A sótartalom 0,07% körül alakult a legnagyobb dózis esetében is, azonban hosszú távon érdemes figyelmi a sótartalom változását.A növényi eredetű bioszén (BC) bekeverése növelte a kezelt talaj víztartó képességét, kálium- és szerves-szén-tartalmát, míg a csontszén esetében nem tapasztaltunk hasonló hatást. További kutatások szükségesek, hogy újabb információkat kapjunk a bioszenek mezőgazdasági felhasználásáról. Fokozottan igaz ez a csontszénre, mivel a jövőben a foszforutánpótlás alternatívája lehet.

Abstract  

The thermal degradation of copolymers based on butyl acrylate-methyl acrylate-acrylic acid used as acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives, especially for bonding of plasticizer containing materials, has been investigated using thermogravimetry and pyrolysis-gas chromatography at 250°C. It was observed that during the pyrolysis of butyl acrylate-methyl acrylate-acrylic acid copolymers unsaturated monomers as methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate and butyl methacrylate were formed. During the side-chain butyl acrylate-methyl-acrylate-acrylic acid-copolymer degradation the presence of methyl alcohol and butyl alcohol was observed.

Abstract  

The thermal decompositions of dehydrated or anhydrous bivalent transition metal (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd) and alkali rare metal (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) methanesulfonates were studied by TG/DTG, IR and XRD techniques in dynamic Air at 250–850 °C. The initial decomposition temperatures were calculated from TG curves for each compound, which show the onsets of mass loss of methanesulfonates were above 400 °C. For transition metal methanesulfonates, the pyrolysis products at 850 °C were metal oxides. For alkali rare metal methanesulfonates, the pyrolysis products at 850 °C of Sr and Ba methanesulfonates were sulphates, while those of Mg and Ca methanesulfonate were mixtures of sulphate and oxide.

Abstract

To develop thermal stable flavor, two glycosidic bound flavor precursors, geranyl-tetraacetyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (GLY-A) and geranyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (GLY-B) were synthesized by the modified Koenigs–Knorr reaction. The thermal decomposition process and pyrolysis products of the two glycosides were extensively investigated by thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and on-line pyrolysis-gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (Py-GC-MS). TG showed the T p of GLY-A and GLY-B were 254.6 and 275.7°C. The T peak of GLY-A and GLY-B measured by DSC were 254.8 and 262.1°C respectively.

Py-GC-MS was used for the simply qualitative analysis of the pyrolysis products at 300 and 400°C. The results indicated that: 1) A large amount of geraniol and few by-products were produced at 300°C, the by-products were significantly increased at 400°C; 2) The characteristic pyrolysis product was geraniol; 3) The primary decomposition reaction was the cleavage of O-glycosidic bound of the two glycosides flavor precursors. The study on the thermal behavior and pyrolysis products of the two glycosides showed that this kind of flavor precursors could be used for providing the foodstuff with specific flavor during heating process.

Abstract  

The thermal degradation of selected poly(alkyl methacrylates) at temperatures between 300 and 800 °C was investigated by pyrolysis gas chromatography. Quantitative characterization of the pyrolysis products yields insights into the mechanism for thermal degradation of poly(alkyl methacrylates) under these conditions. Unsaturated monomeric alkyl methacrylates, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, ethane, methanol, ethanol, and propanol were formed during thermal degradation of poly(alkyl methacrylates).

Abstract  

The thermal destruction processes of poly(2-propylheptyl acrylate) take place at the range of temperature 250–950 °C was investigated using pyrolysis–gas chromatography. Knowledge of the types and amounts of pyrolysis products will provide important information about the thermal degradation of homopolymer poly(2-propylheptyl acrylate) and the mechanisms involved. Unsaturated monomers 2-propylheptyl acrylate and 2-propylheptyl methacrylate, according to by-product alkyl alcohol 2-propylheptylalcohol, alkene 2-propylheptene-1, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and ethane were formed during thermal degradation of poly(2-propylheptyl acrylate).
