Abstract
The study on the thermal behavior of some new diazoaminoderivatives was aimed to follow the structure-thermal stability-degradation mechanism correlation by means of the TG-FTIR technique and formation enthalpies. The TG-DTG-DTA curves reveal the thermal degradation in air (30–900 °C) to show two ranges as a function of temperature (time), where the gaseous species resulting by degradation are eliminated: the first, an endothermic one which is identical to that under nitrogen atmosphere and the second, an exothermal one. As made evident by the identification of the individual gaseous species by their characteristic absorbances as well as those obtained by TG-FTIR the compounds C2H2, H2C = NH, SO2, NH3, CO2, H2O, HCl are eliminated in the first domain while CO2, SO2, H2O in the second, which afforded the advancement of the most probable degradation mechanism.
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study on the thermal behaviour of three species of edible mushrooms: Boletus edulis (foot and cap), Pleurotus ostreatus (foot and cap), Lactarius deterrimus (cap) by the TG–FTIR-coupled technique, in air, over the 30–900 °C temperature range. The analysis of the TG–DTG–DTA curves reveals the thermal degradation mechanism to be complex and specific to every species under the recording conditions applied. A similar degradation mechanism is noticed for the foot and cap of Pleurotus ostreatus in comparison with the Boletus edulis and Lactarius deterrimus species where the mechanisms are different. The TG–FTIR analysis, combustion heats and IR spectra of the starting samples also support these results. The initial degradation temperatures from TG–DTG indicate the temperature range where these species are thermally stable and their nutrient features maintained making them proper for food. The TG–FTIR analysis gives information on the gaseous species evolved by the thermal degradation bringing thus a contribution to the elucidation of the changes developing by processing the edible mushrooms (industrialization, conservation, culinary preparations, etc.) at temperatures above the initial degradation temperature. At the same time, the environmental impact, when the mushroom failed cultures are burned, is also important.
Abstract
The study is devoted to the characterization by TG, DTG, DTA, both in air and N2 atmosphere, of three cyclic ylides as well as two spirane derivatives, to the purpose of elucidating the correlation between structure, thermostability and thermal degradation mechanism. Thermal analysis data indicated that the degradation mechanism is characteristic for every sample, and the consequences of structural peculiarities are discussed. The thermostability series of the samples is correlated to their structure. The quantitative TG-DTG-DTA analysis allowed some considerations on the thermal degradation mechanism, subsequently confirmed by mass spectrometry. The melting points obtained by DTA and Boetius measurements along with the initial degradation temperatures from TG-DTG-DTA curves indicates the temperature range for the use and storage of these compounds, considering that some derivatives of cyclic ylides show biological activity and potential medical applications.
Abstract
The article is devoted to a comparative study on the thermal degradation of some new diazoaminoderivatives under both air and nitrogen atmosphere by TG-FTIR analysis. The TG–DTG–DTA curves show the thermal degradation in air to present two temperature domains: an endothermic one identical to the case of the degradation under nitrogen and an exothermic one which is not to be found under nitrogen atmosphere. The identification of the gaseous species released by degradation in air within the endothermic domain made evident the presence of the same components of the degradation in nitrogen atmosphere. In the exothermic domain of the sample degradation in air, the CO2, H2O, SO2 species result by the burning of the molecular residues of the first domain. The obtained results afforded a degradation mechanism to be advanced that coincide for the endothermic domain with that of degradation under nitrogen atmosphere. Due to the importance of these compounds as possible reaction initiators and also as potentially bioactive substances (herbicides, acaricides, fungicides), the study on their thermal degradation could give useful information on the environmental impact of the degradation products resulting by the thermal processing of the plants which could possible retain these compounds, when the initial degradation temperature is exceeded.
