Calorimetry high temperature

Several methods of sulfur determination are used for carbon black. They include oxygen bomb calorimetry, high-temperature combustion with an iodometric detection procedure and an infrared detection procedure. The results are given as percentage of sulfur.

Ceramic bond formation and grain growth by diffusion are the two prominent reactions for bonding at the high temperature (1100 to 1370°C, or 2000 to 2500°F, for iron ore) employed. The minimum temperature required for sintering may be measured by modern dilatometry techniques, as well as by differential scanning calorimetry. See Compo et al. [Powder Tech., 51(1), 87 (1987) Paiticle Characterization, 1, 171 (1984)] for reviews.

A survey of the literature shows that although very different calorimeters or microcalorimeters have been used for measuring heats of adsorption, most of them were of the adiabatic type, only a few were isothermal, and until recently (14, 15), none were typical heat-flow calorimeters. This results probably from the fact that heat-flow calorimetry was developed more recently than isothermal or adiabatic calorimetry (16, 17). We believe, however, from our experience, that heat-flow calorimeters present, for the measurement of heats of adsorption, qualities and advantages which are not met by other calorimeters. Without entering, at this point, upon a discussion of the respective merits of different adsorption calorimeters, let us indicate briefly that heat-flow calorimeters are particularly adapted to the investigation (1) of slow adsorption or reaction processes, (2) at moderate or high temperatures, and (3) on solids which present a poor thermal diffusivity. Heat-flow calorimetry appears thus to allow the study of adsorption or reaction processes which cannot be studied conveniently with the usual adiabatic or pseudoadiabatic, adsorption calorimeters. In this respect, heat-flow calorimetry should be considered, actually, as a new tool in adsorption and heterogeneous catalysis research. 

Heat-flow calorimetry may be used also to detect the surface modifications which occur very frequently when a freshly prepared catalyst contacts the reaction mixture. Reduction of titanium oxide at 450°C by carbon monoxide for 15 hr, for instance, enhances the catalytic activity of the solid for the oxidation of carbon monoxide at 450°C (84) and creates very active sites with respect to oxygen. The differential heats of adsorption of oxygen at 450°C on the surface of reduced titanium dioxide (anatase) have been measured with a high-temperature Calvet calorimeter (67). The results of two separate experiments on different samples are presented on Fig. 34 in order to show the reproducibility of the determination of differential heats and of the sample preparation. 

Cross-linking constrains the conformational flexibility of biopolymers and, as a rule, stabilizes their secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures against the denaturing effects of high temperatures.29 We used differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to compare the heat-induced conformational transitions of selected RNase A samples that were characterized in Figure 15.2. A brief introduction to DSC is provided in Section 15.15.1 for those readers unfamiliar with this biophysical method. Trace 1 in Figure 15.3a is the heat absorption... 

Heat capacities at high temperatures, T > 1000 K, are most accurately determined by drop calorimetry [23, 24], Here a sample is heated to a known temperature and is then dropped into a receiving calorimeter, which is usually operated around room temperature. The calorimeter measures the heat evolved in cooling the sample to the calorimeter temperature. The main sources of error relate to temperature measurement and the attainment of equilibrium in the furnace, to evaluation of heat losses during drop, to the measurements of the heat release in the calorimeter, and to the reproducibility of the initial and final states of the sample. This type of calorimeter is in principle unsurpassed for enthalpy increment determinations of substances with negligible intrinsic or extrinsic defect concentrations... 

The solution experiments may be made in aqueous media at around ambient temperatures, or in metallic or inorganic melts at high temperatures. Two main types of ambient temperature solution calorimeter are used adiabatic and isoperibol. While the adiabatic ones tend to be more accurate, they are quite complex instruments. Thus most solution calorimeters are of the isoperibol type [33]. The choice of solvent is obviously crucial and aqueous hydrofluoric acid or mixtures of HF and HC1 are often-used solvents in materials applications. Very precise enthalpies of solution, with uncertainties approaching 0.1% are obtained. The effect of dilution and of changes in solvent composition must be considered. Whereas low temperature solution calorimetry is well suited for hydrous phases, its ability to handle refractory oxides like A1203 and MgO is limited. 

Low melting metals (Sn and also Bi, In, Pb, and Cd) are extensively used as solvents in calorimetric studies of metallic phases [35]. Transition metals do not, however, dissolve readily in tin [43] and other solvents such as Cu and A1 have been used. An experimental probe for high-temperature solution calorimetry is shown in Figure 10.8. 

Equilibrium constants involving each compound were evaluated using the partial pressures by the third law method. Accepting the heats of formation of WF5 and WF obtained from bomb calorimetry, the values for WF (n = 1 to 4) could be extracted by iterative fitting to partial pressure data. The W/02/F2 and W/S/F2 systems were also examined to give heats of formation of tungsten oxo- and thiofluorides. This experimentally simple technique yields thermodynamic data on high-temperature species inaccessible to conventional calorimetry. 

Johnson et al. [143] used low-temperature adiabatic calorimetry and high-temperature drop calorimetry to obtain the heat capacity of both forms of mordenite as a function of the temperature. These results and the results of the reaction-solution calorimetric studies discussed herein, enabled the tabulation of the thermodynamic properties (C°, S°, Af H°, and Af G°) of mordenite from 0 K to 500 K and dehydrated mordenite from 0 K to 900 K.
