The dynamic heating rate method developed by TA Instruments (Hi-Res
TM ) is a kind of sample controlled thermal analysis in which a linear relationship between the logarithm of the heating rate and the rate of mass change is imposed. It is shown in this paper that the reacted fraction at the maximum reaction rate strongly depends on the parameters selected for the Hi-Res heating algorithm, what invalidates the use of the Kissinger method for analysing Hi-Res data unless that the reaction fits a first order kinetic law. Only in this latter case, it has been demonstrated that it is not required that a constant value of the reacted fraction at the maximum reaction rate is fulfilled for determining the activation energy from the Kissinger method. In such a case the Kissinger plot gives the real activation energy, independently of both the heating schedule used and the value of the reacted fraction, αm , at the maximum.

Emanation thermal analysis (ETA), thermogravimetry and high temperature XRD were used to characterize the thermal behavior during dehydration of natural Na montmorillonite (Upton Wyoming, USA) and homoionic montmorillonite (MMT) samples saturated with different cations, i.e. Li
+ , Cs+ , NH, Mg2+ and Al3+ . ETA results characterized radon mobility and microstructure changes that accompanied the mass loss of the samples due to dehydration on heating in air. A collapse of interlayer space between the silicate sheets after water release from the MMT samples was characterized by a decrease of the radon release rate, Δ E. Decreases in c-axis basal spacing ( d001 ) values determined from XRD patterns for the different montmorillonite samples follow the sequence: The decrease of the radon release rate (Δ E) determined by ETA that characterized microstructure changes due to collapse of interlayer space corresponded well to differences in the c-axis basal spacing (Δ d001 ) values determined from the XRD patterns before and after samples dehydration.

A critical study of the use of isoconversional methods for the kinetic analysis of non-isothermal data corresponding to processes with either a real or an apparent variation of the activation energy, E, with the reacted fraction, α, has been carried out using for the first time simulated curves. It has been shown that the activation energies obtained from model-free methods are independent of the heating rate. However, the activation energy shows a very strong dependence of the range of heating rates used for simulating the curves if the apparent change of E with α is caused by overlapping processes with different individual activation energies. This criterion perhaps could be used for determining if a real dependence between E and α is really occurring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

VERMICULITE ,MICROSTRUCTURE ,RADON ,THERMAL analysis - Abstract
Thermal behaviour of natural vermiculite (Santa Olalla, Huelva, Spain) was investigated by TG, DTA, emanation thermal analysis (ETA) and high temperature XRD on heating in the temperature range from 30 to 1100°C before and after vibratory mill grinding. Microstructure changes of natural and ground vermiculite samples were characterized by using ETA under in situ conditions of heating. By comparing the ETA and XRD results it was demonstrated that a decrease of radon release rate measured by ETA characterized the decrease in the interlayer spacing of the vermiculite samples that followed the dehydration.

The effect of grinding on thermal behavior of pyrophyllite and talc as commonly used ceramic clay minerals was investigated by DTA, TG, emanation thermal analysis (ETA), B.E.T. surface area (s.a.) measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A vibratory mill was used in this study, grinding time was 5 min. It was found that the grinding caused an increase in surface area and a grain size reduction of the samples. From TG and DTA results it followed that grinding caused a decrease of the temperature at which the structure bound OH groups released. The formation of high temperature phases was enhanced with the ground samples. For the ground talc sample the crystallization of non-crystalline phase into orthorhombic enstatite was observed in the range of 800°C. For ground pyrophyllite a certain agglomeration of grains was observed in the range above 950°C. Moreover, for both clays the ETA characterized a closing up of subsurface irregularities caused by grinding as a decrease of the emanation rate in the range 250–400°C. The comparison of thermal analysis results with the results of other methods made it possible to better understand the effect of grinding on the ceramic clays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The SCTA method implies to control the temperature in such a way that the reaction rate changes with the time according to a function previously defined by the user. Constant Rate Thermal Analysis (CRTA) is one of the most commonly used SCTA methods and implies achieving a temperature profile at which the reaction rate remains constant all over the process at a value previously selected by the user. This method permits to minimize the influence of heat and mass transfer phenomena on the forward reaction. The scope of this work is to develop a universal CRTA temperature controller that could be adapted to any thermoanalytical device. The thermoanalytical signal is programmed to follow a preset linear trend by means of a conventional controller that at the time controls a second conventional temperature programmer that forces the temperature to change for achieving the trend programmed for the thermoanalytical signal. Examples of the performance of this control system with a Thermobalance and a Thermomechanical Analyser (TMA) are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Static and dynamic heating of vermiculite samples from Santa Olalla, Huelva, Spain, saturated with different cations, i.e. Na
+ , Cs+ , NH4 + , Mg2+ , Ca2+ , Ba2+ and Al3+ , have been studied. The characterization of the phases formed during heating has been carried out by X-ray diffraction. The phases formed depend on the cation present in the interlamellar position and the heating process. The phases identified in the vermiculite samples saturated with different cations and heated at different temperatures are the following: enstatite, forsterite, spinel, cordierite, anorthite, pollucite, nepheline, coesite, celsian and others various mixed silicates; also some dehydrated and amorphous phases have been observed. On static heating, at the maximum temperature reached in this work, the phases formed appear mixed with a glassy phase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The dependence of the preexponential factor on the temperature has been examined and the errors involved in the activation energy calculated from isothermal and non-isothermal methods without considering such dependence have been estimated. It has been shown that the error in the determination of the activation energy calculated ignoring the dependence of Aon Tcan be rather large and it is dependent on x= E/ RT, but independent of the experimental method used. It has been also shown that the error introduced by omitting the dependence of the preexponential factor on the temperature is considerably larger than the error due to the Arrhenius integral approach used for carrying out the kinetic analysis of TG data.

The differences on the thermal behaviour (DTG-DTA) of antigorite sample measured before and after sonication have been studied. Sonication treatment produces negligible changes in the structure of the material but substantial textural modifications. These modifications produce changes in the thermal behaviour of antigorite sample. Thus, it has been observed a decrease in the dehydroxylation temperature as measured by DTG and DTA effects. For sonication treatments longer than 20 h, two new effects of dehydroxylation are observed, the intensity of these two new effects increases with the sonication time showing a modification in the release of structural OH. It has been also observed that the formation of forsterite takes place simultaneously with the dehydroxylation of the antigorite. The high temperature exothermic effect is due to the recrystallization of forsterite and not to the formation of forsterite as traditionally assumed. Modifications in the thermal dehydroxylation of antigorite observed in this study are related to the pronounced decrease in particle size obtained by sonication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The SCTA methods for the kinetic analysis of solid-state reactions have been reviewed. It has been shown that these methods present two important advantages with regards to the more conventional rising temperature experiments. Firstly, they have a higher resolution power for discriminating among the reaction kinetic models and, secondly, SCTA is a powerful tool for minimizing the influence of the experimental conditions on the forward reaction.

The Ozawa concept of generalized time has been used for developing master plots for the different kinetic models describing solid state reactions. These plots can be indistinctly used for analysing isothermal or non-isothermal experimental data. It is demonstrated that it is not possible to discriminate the kinetic model from a single non-isothermal curve without a previous knowledge of the activation energy. However, it has been shown that the ln [(da/dt)/f(a)] data taken from a set of DTG curves obtained at different heating rates lie on a single straight line when represented as a function of 1/T only if the kinetic model really obeyed by the reaction is considered. Moreover, the true values of E and A are obtained from the slope and the intercept of this straight line. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The effect of ultrasounds on natural macroscopic vermiculite flakes has been studied. Conditions for the preparation of submicron vermiculite particles of narrow particle-size distribution by sonochemistry are described. The resulting material is crystalline, as assayed by X-ray diffraction. Effects of ultrasound treatment on the mean particle size, crystal structure, crystallite dimensions in different directions, and specific surface area of the resulting particles are investigated. Under the conditions used in this work, there is a practical limit at 40 h in the sonication time for the preparation of submicron particles; longer treatment times promoted aggregation.

- Abstract
Hematite nanoparticles of narrow size distribution were prepared by grinding of goethite. Intermediate and final products of grinding were characterised by different techniques, including the less-common emanation thermal analysis (ETA). ETA was shown to be a useful technique for characterising processes of surface annealing, initial sintering and growth of hematite particles under in situ conditions of thermal treatment. A good agreement was found between results of ETA, TG, XRD, IR spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, used for characterisation of thermal behaviour of the goethite samples ground for varying time (0–70 h).

15. The Accuracy of Senum and Yang's Approximations to the Arrhenius Integral.

- Abstract
The accuracy of the integral of the Arrhenius equation, as determined from the 1
st to the 4th degree rational approximation proposed by Senum and Yang, has been calculated. The precision of the 5th to 8th rational approximations, here proposed for the first time, has also been analyzed. It has been concluded that the accuracy increases by increasing the order of the rational approximation. It has been shown that these approximations to the Arrhenius equation integral would allow an accuracy better than 10−8 % in the E/RT range generally observed for solid state reactions. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that errors closed to 10−2 % can be obtained even for E/RT=1, provided that high enough degrees of rational approximation have been used. Thus, it would be reasonable to assume that high degree rational approximations for the Arrhenius integral could be used for the kinetic analysis of processes, like adsorption or desorption of gases on solid surfaces, which can take place at low temperatures with very low values of E/RT.

- Abstract
The synthesis of uniform colloidal rod-like In(OH)
3 particles from relatively concentrated solutions of InCl3 (0.1 mol dm-3 ) in short reaction time (<15 min) by the controlled double-jet precipitation (CDJP) technique is described. The effects of the molar ratio of [NH4 OH]/[InCl3 ], temperature, concentration of the reactants, and reaction time on the size and shape of the final products are investigated. It is found that such In(OH)3 particles are formed by aggregation of nanosize subunits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
