This study examined the thermal behavior of cast gypsum specimens, with and without additives, by means of simultaneous differential thermal analysis-thermogravimetry (DTA-TG) and dilatometry. Specimens were prepared from wet-calcined hemihydrates (Hydrocal and Den-site). The additives studied were boric acid (H3BO 3) and sodium chloride (NaCl), and these were added to the hemihydrate powders in concentrations of 2 wt% (in the case of H3BO3) and 0.5 wt% (in the case of NaCl). A large shrinkage was observed in the range of 300 to 500°C, and this was greatly reduced when either H3BO3 or NaCl was present. The dehydration of gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) was not completed until the initial stage of this large shrinkage was reached, but the phase transition of calcium sulfate anhydrite (III-CaSO4 to II-CaSO4) was the major cause for the large shrinkage. This phase transition occurred over a much wider temperature range than that suggested by the DTA-TG results. Dehydration conditions similar to those employed in wet calcination of gypsum appeared to be produced under atmospheric pressure when NaCl was present.

The synthesis of alloys of the system was carried out stepwise in rotary furnaces. The synthesis mode was selected based on the physicochemical properties of the elementary components. For homogenization, the alloys were subjected to isothermal annealing at 750 and 1275 K, depending on the Tm2Te3 concentration, for 250 h after homogenization of the alloys, they were subjected to physicochemical analysis. The results of differential thermal analysis showed that reversible thermal effects are observed in the alloys of the system. In alloys in a 1: 1 ratio, a new intermediate phase is formed with a composition corresponding to the TmAsTe3 compound. The homogeneity area is observed in the concentration range 52.5-47.5. It was found that in the concentration range 98.5-52.5 Tm2Te3 there are two phases - a mixture of β and of the solid solution, and in the concentration range of 47.51 mol% Tm2Te3 phases and α are in equilibrium. ) 66 The eutectic has coordinates of 11.5 mol Tm2Te3 at a temperature of 575 K.

AbstractThermal analyses of samples of thorium dicarbide in equilibrium with graphite show arrests which indicate phase transitions at 1427 ± 21°C arid 1481 ± 28°C. These thermal effects have been observed on heating and cooling both in standard thermal analysis and in differential thermal analysis using graphite as a reference material. The microstructure of thorium dicarbide samples shows the characteristic “herringbone” pattern of a material which has undergone a martensitic-type transition.A high-temperature X-ray investigation has revealed that the observed thermal arrests correspond to erystallographic transformations. The monodinic modification found at room temperature is stable to 1427°C, at which temperature a tetragonal modification with a0 = 4.235 ± 0.002Å and c0 = 5.408 ± 0.002Å is formed. At 1481°C, the tetragonal is transformed to cubic with a0 = 5.809 ± 0.002 Å. The best agreement between observed and calculated intensities has been obtained with C-C units of 1.5-Å assumed bond length in space groups P42/mmc and Pa3 for the tetragonal and cubic modifications, respectively.

The infrared spectra of rare earth acetates have been studied to examine the metal-acetate bonding. The thermal decomposition of rare earth acetates as well as lead and copper acetates have been investigated in detail by employing thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis. Thermal decomposition of calcium dicarboxylates (malonate to sebacate) have been studied employing t.g.a. and d.t.a. Infrared spectra of the dicarboxylates have also been studied. Preliminary results on the products of decomposition of dicarboxylates have been reported.
