Thermal decomposition and gaseous evolution of the spent potlining (SPL) combustion were quantified using thermogravimetric and mass-spectrometric analyses in CO/O and N/O atmospheres using three heating rates (15, 20 and 25 °C/min). The thermal decomposition of SPL occurred mainly between 450 and 800 °C. Based on the four kinetic methods of Friedman, Starink, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa under the various conversion degrees (α) from 0.1 to 0.7, the lowest apparent activation energy was estimated at 149.81 kJ/mol in the 70% CO/30% O atmosphere. The pre-exponential factor, and changes in entropy, enthalpy and free Gibbs energy were also estimated. The reaction model did not suggest a single reaction of the SPL combustion. With the α value of 0.25-0.7, the following function best described the reaction based on the Malek method: f(α) = 1/2α and G(α) = lnα. The gases released during the combustion process included CO, CO, NO, HCN, and HF.

One-pot synthesis of niobium carbabide (NbC) nanoparticles with 30-50 nm was achieved a rationally designed novel alkali-molten salt method using niobium oxide (NbO), potassium carbonate (KCO), and mesoporous carbon (MPC). In this reaction, potassium niobate (KNbO) was produced as an intermediate and carbonization of KNbO proceeds at a spatially limited external surface encompassed by the mesopores of MPC due to the repulsive characteristics of ionic KNbO toward hydrophobic MPC, which affords the size-controlled NbC nanoparticles with a narrow particle distribution. The particle sizes tended to become smaller as the pore sizes of MPCs or the temperature on the calcination under the nitrogen stream decreased.

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a thermoplastic polymer widely used in several everyday life applications; moreover, it is also one of the most employed plastics in contemporary artworks and design objects. In this study, the chemical and thermal properties of an ABS-based polymer and its photo-degradation process were investigated through a multi-analytical approach based on thermal, mass spectrometric and spectroscopic techniques. LEGO building blocks were selected for studying the ABS properties.

In this work, a functionalized zwitterionic (ZI) compound 1-butylsulfonate-3-methylimidazole (CCimSO) was synthesized and tested as an additive to LiTFSI/CCimTFSI ionic liquid-based electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. The structure and purity of CCimSO were confirmed by NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. The thermal stability of the pure CCimSO was examined by simultaneous thermogravimetric-mass spectrometric (TG-MS) measurements and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Rationale: The SrO-Al O system holds promise as a base for a wide spectrum of advanced materials, which may be synthesized or applied at high temperatures. Therefore, studying vaporization and high-temperature thermodynamic properties of this system is of great practical importance.
Methods: Samples of the SrO-Al O system were obtained by solid-state synthesis and identified by X-ray fluorescence analysis, X-ray phase analysis, scanning electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis, simultaneous thermal analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis.

The ever-growing number of space launches triggering an enormous release of metallic dead weight into the atmosphere has become a global concern. Despite technological advancements, the inclusion of environmental concerns in space research has become the need of the hour. Here, we report the impact of iron oxide (FeO)-doped polymeric carbon nitride (gCN) composites with varying metal contents (namely, GF1, GF2, and GF3 with iron contents of 0.
