Abstract The present thesis includes four parts. The most important results and conclusions of the various parts are given below. In the first part, a literature survery concerning the kinetics of reactions in the solid state, thermal decomposition of oxalates, and carbonates, with a specieal emphasize on the kinetics and thermal formation of chromates, zincates and titanates. The second part consists of preparation of pure zinc oxalate dihydrate and preparation the mixture of ZnC204. 2H20- Cr203 by the impregenation method. The structure of the various prepared samples were characterized and studied by differential thermal analysis - thermogravimetry (DTA-TG) and X-ray diffraction techniques. The kinetic of the solid - solid reaction was studied at a temperature range of 115-200(; for the thermal dehydration step of ZnC204. 2H20 mixture.whereas at a temperature range 340-440’t for thermal .decomposition of anhydrous ZnC204, using isothermal and dynamic thermogravimetric techniques. The kinetic of the solid - solid reaction for ZnC204.2H20-Cr203 mixture was also studied at higher temperature range 290-490t using dynamic thrmogravimetric technique. Kinetic analysis of the reactions were discussed in view of state of reaction models based on diffusion of reactants through •continuous product layer, phase boundary reactions, reaction orders Prout - Tompkins equation, Exponential law equation and random nucleation models. Kinetic analysis of isothermal data of thermal dehydration step and thermal decomposition step of ZnC204. 2H20 was carried out for weight loss fraction (ce) values in the range 0.02 < u < 0.99. Kinetic analysis of dynamic TG curves were discussed and a critical composition was made of three integral methods; one of Coats and Redfern, second of Ozawa and the third of Diefallah’s composite method. The results showed that the dynamic results are in a good agreement with those obtained under isothermal thermogravimetric conditions. The dynamic results showed that there is a systematic decrease in activation parameters with increasing heating rates according to Coats-Redfern method. Kinetic analysis of data by a computer program analysis according to various theoretical models showed that the thermal dehydration reaction and the thermal formation of ZnCr204 is best described by .(F 1) whereas the thermal decomposition reaction is best described by (R2) where those models give the highest correlation coefficients and less standard deviations than the other models. In the thrid part of thesis, the preparation of BaC03 - ZnO and BaCZ04·HzO- ZnCZ04• 2HzO mixtures were carried out by the impregenation method. The structure of the various prepared mixtures were characterized and studied by differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry (DTA and TG) and by X-ray diffraction techniques. The kinetic of the solid - solid reaction was followed in the temperature range 850 - 1070°C for the formation of barium zincate dihydrate from BaC03-ZnO mixture using isothermal and dynamic thermogravimetric techniques. While the kinetic of the solid - solid reaction was followed in the temperature range 840 - 1130 t for the formation of barium zincate dihydrate from BaCZ04• HzO- ZnCZ04. 2HzO mixture using dynamic thermogravimatric technique. Kintic analysis of the reactions were discussed in view of different stolid state reaction models. Kinetic analysis of data by a computer program analysis according to various theroretical models showed that the thermal formation of barium zincate dihydrate from BaCOrZnO and BaCZ04. HzOZnCZ04 · 2HzO mixtures is best described by (R3) which gives the highest correlation coefficient and less standard deviation than the other models. Kinetic analysis ofisothnnal data of thermal formation of barium zincate dihydrate from BaC03-ZnO mixture was carried out for weight fraction (a.) values in the range 0.04 < a. < 0.99. It was found that the barium zincate dihydrate formation was increased with increasing the temperature. Kinetic analysis of dynamic .TG curves were discussed and a critical composition was made of three integral methods; one of Coats and Redfern, second of Ozawa and the third of Diefallah’s composite method. The results showed that the dynamic results are in a good agreement with those obtained under isothermal thermogravimetric conditions but within exprimental errors for the thermal formation of BaZn02.2H20 from BaC03 - ZnO mixture whereas, in case of the thermal formation of barium zincate dihydrate from BaCZ04• H20- ZnCZ04. 2H20, the dynamic results showed that there is an agreement between the composite method and Coats - Redfern methods, but Ozawa method, gives much less satisfactory results. There is an agreement between the dynamic results obtained for thermal formation of barium zincate dihydrate from BaC03 - ZnO mixture and those are obtained for the thermal formation of barium zincate dihydrate from BaCZ04. H20- ZnC204. 2HzO mixture according to composite and Coats - Redfern methods. But there is e, disagreement according to Ozawa method. The fourth part, consists of preparation of mixture of ZnCz04.2HzO- TiOz (Anatase) mixture by the impregenation method. This mixture was calcined at 110 ’C for 6 hours. The structure of the prepared mixture was characterized using by differential thermal analysis,thermal gravimetry (DTA - TG) and X-ray diffraction techniques. The kinetic of the solid - solid reaction was followed in the temperature range 90- 200 °c for the thermal dehydration step and in the temperature range 270- 430 ’t for the thermal formation step of ZnTiO) for ZnC204• 2H20 - Ti02 (Anatase) mixture using isothermal and dynamic thermograviametric techniques. Kinetic analysis of the reactions were discussed in view of different solid state reaction models. Kinetic analysis of data by a computer program analysis according to various theoretical models showed that the thermal dehydration reaction is best described by (D)) whereas the thermal formation reaction of ZnTiO) is best described by (R2) which they give the highest correlation coefficients and less standard deviations than the other models. Kinetic analysis of isothermal data of thermal dehydration step and thermal formation step of ZnTiO) in ZnC204. 2H20 - Ti02 (Anatase) mixture was carried out for weight fraction (a) values in the range 0.02< a < 0.99. Kinetic analysis of dynamic TG curves were discussed and a critical composition was made of three integral methods ; one of Coats - Redfern, second of Ozawa and the third of Diefallah’s composite method. The results showed that there is an agreement among the composite, Coats - Redfern and Ozawa methods, but the isothermal method gives much less satisfactory results for dehydration step. whereas there is an agreement among composite, Coats - Redfern and of isothermal methods, but Ozawa method gives much less satisfactory results for zinc titanate formation step. Morever, the values of activation energy calculated according to Coats - Redfern method increase with increasing heating rate, while for log A values, the results showed non systematic trend. |
