Calcium Sulphoaluminate

This paper presents the results of research into the heat of hydration and activation energy of calcium sulphoaluminate (CSA) cement in terms of the dependence on curing temperature and water/cement ratio. Cement pastes with water/cement ratios in the range of 0.3–0.6 were tested by isothermal calorimetry at 20 °C, 35 °C and 50 °C, with the evolved hydration heat and its rate monitored for 168 h from mixing water with cement. Reference pastes with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) were also tested in the same range. The apparent activation energy of CSA and OPC was determined based on the results of the measurements. CSA pastes exhibited complex thermal behaviour that differed significantly from the thermal behaviour of ordinary Portland cement. The results show that both the w/c ratio and elevated temperature have a meaningful effect on the heat emission and the hydration process of CSA cement pastes. The determined apparent activation energy of CSA revealed its substantial variability and dependence, both on the w/c ratio and the curing temperature.

The present work reports the effects of γ-, θ-phase of alumina on the hydrothermal stability and the properties of non- and strongly-interacting Rh species of the Rh/Al2O3 catalysts. Comparing to γ-Al2O3, θ-Al2O3 can not only reduce the amount of occluded Rh but also better stabilize Rh during hydrothermal aging treatment. When the aging time was prolonged to 70 h, all the non-interacting Rh was transformed into strongly-interacting Rh and occluded Rh. The XPS results indicated that non- and strongly-interacting Rh might exist in the form of Rh/Rh3+ and Rh4+, respectively. CO-NO reaction was chosen as a probe reaction to research more information about non- and strongly-interacting Rh. The two Rh species had similar apparent activation energy (Eapp) of 170 kJ/mol, which indicated that non- and strongly-interacting Rh follow the same reaction path. The non-interacting Rh was removed from aged samples by the acid-treated method, and obtained results showed that only 2.5% and 4.0% non-interacting Rh was maintained in aged Rh/γ-Al2O3 and Rh/θ-Al2O3.

The Magnetic Field

It is reported in this paper on the thermally assisted flux flow in epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7-δ deposited by Laser ablation method on the SrTiO3 substrate. The resistivity measurements ρ (T, B) of the sample under various values of the magnetic field up to 14T in directions B∥ab-plane and B∥c-axis with a dc weak transport current density were investigated in order to determine the activation energy and then understand the vortex dynamic phenomena and therefore deduce the vortex phase diagram of this material. The apparent activation energy U0 (B) calculated using an Arrhenius relation. The measured results of the resistivity were then adjusted to the modified thermally assisted flux flow model in order to account for the temperature-field dependence of the activation energy U (T, B). The obtained values from the thermally assisted activation energy, exhibit a behavior similar to the one showed with the Arrhenius model, albeit larger than the apparent activation energy with ∼1.5 order on magnitude for both cases of the magnetic field directions. The vortex glass model was also used to obtain the vortex-glass transition temperature from the linear fitting of [d ln ρ/dT ] −1 plots. In the course of this work thanks to the resistivity measurements the upper critical magnetic field Hc2 (T), the irreversibility line Hirr (T) and the crossover field HCrossOver (T) were located. These three parameters allowed us to establish a phase diagram of the studied material where limits of each vortex phase are sketched in order to optimize its applicability as a practical high temperature superconductor used for diverse purposes.

Abstract Generally, adding a certain amount of an additive to pulverized coal can promote its combustion performance. In this paper, the effect of CaO on the combustion characteristics and kinetic behavior of semi-coke was studied by thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The results show that adding proper amount of CaO can reduce the ignition temperature of semi-coke and increase the combustion rate of semi-coke; with the increase in CaO content, the combustion rate of semi-coke increases first and then decreases, and the results of TG analysis showed that optimal addition amount of CaO is 2 wt%. The apparent activation energy of CaO with different addition amounts of CaO was calculated by Coats–Redfern integration method. The apparent activation energy of semi-coke in the combustion reaction increases first and then decreases with the increase in CaO addition. The apparent activation energies of different samples at different conversion rates were calculated by Flynn–Wall–Ozawa integral method. It was found that the apparent activation energies of semi-coke during combustion reaction decreased with the increase in conversion.

Hydrothermally synthesized one-dimensional and two-dimensional nanocrystals of VO2 undergo phase transition around 65?C, where temperature and mechanism of phase transition are dependent on dimensionality of nanocrystals. Both nanocrystalline samples exhibit depression of phase transition temperature compared to the bulk material, the magnitude of which depends on the dimensionality of the nanocrystal. One-dimensional nanoribbons exhibit lower phase transition temperature and higher values of apparent activation energy than two-dimensional nanosheets. The phase transition exhibits as a complex process with somewhat lower value of enthalpy than the phase transition in the bulk, probably due to higher proportion of surface atoms in the nanocrystals. High values of apparent activation energy indicate that individual steps of the phase transition involve simultaneous movement of large groups of atoms, as expected for single-domain nanocrystalline materials.

<div> <div> <div> <p>Activation energy is a well-known empirical parameter in chemical kinetics that characterises the dependence of the chemical rate coefficients on the temperature and provides information to compare the intrinsic activity of the catalysts. However, the determination and interpretation of the apparent activation energy in multistep reactions is not an easy task. For this purpose, the concept of degree of rate control is convenient, which comprises a mathematical approach for analyzing reaction mechanisms and chemical kinetics. Although this concept has been used in catalysis, it has not yet been applied in electrocatalytic systems, whose ability to control the potential across the solid/liquid interface is the main difference with heterogenous catalysis, and the electrical current is commonly used as a measure of the reaction rate. Herein we use the definition of ‘degree of rate control for elementary step’ to address some of the drawbacks that frequently arise with interpreting apparent activation energy as a measure of intrinsic electrocatalytic activity of electrode. For this, an electrokinetic model Langmuir-Hinshelwood-like is used for making numerical experiments and verifying the proposed ideas. The results show that to improve the catalytic activity of an electrode material, it must act upon the reaction steps with the highest normalised absolute values of degree of rate control. On the other hand, experiments at different applied voltages showed that if the electroactive surface poisoning process take place, changes in 𝐸𝑎𝑝𝑝 can not be used to compare the catalytic activity of the electrodes. Finally, the importance of making measurements at steady-state to avoid large errors in the calculations of apparent activation energy is also discussed. </p> </div> </div> </div>

ABSTRACTWe have demonstrated a novel downstream plasma activated vapor phase etching of III-V compound semiconductors using ethylene di bromide as the etchant. Highly reproducible surfaces and etch rates were obtained by monitoring the reaction process with a mass spectrometer. Etch rates on InP of up to 4500Å/min, at temperatures as low as 160°C, at an rf power input of 25 watts were achieved with no evident damage to the surface as indicated by PL measurements. Apparent activation energy measurements seem to suggest that the etch products might be organometallic in nature, in contrast to inorganic etch products seen in most etching studies. Etching is partially anisotropic and resulted in smoother surfaces when H2 was used as the carrier gas for the etchant instead of N2.
