Thermal decomposition of hydrated selenites of trivalent lanthanides and yttrium

Hydrated lanthanide(III) and yttrium(III) selenites were prepared. Simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis, classical differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and other methods of analysis have been used in the characterisation as well as in the study of the thermal decomposition of these compounds. The results led to the composition and thermal stability and also to interpretations concerning the thermal decomposition mechanisms. © 1990.

Effects of vinasse upon the decomposition rate of Ocotea pulchella leaves in cerrado soil

Ocotea pulchella leaves placed on soil treated with vinasse lost 64.48% of their organic matter, whereas the leaves sampled in the control parcels lost 70.68%, after one year. -from Authors

Thermal decomposition of vanadyl Schiff-base compounds

The thermal stability and thermal decomposition of several Schiff bases coordinated to vanadyl, VO (Schiff base), were studied by thermogravimetry and conventional gas Chromatographic and X-ray analyses. The kinetics, the number of steps and, in particular, the final temperature of decomposition of these complexes depend on the equatorial ligand. © 1992.

Preparation and thermal decomposition of solid state compounds of 4-methoxybenzylidenepyruvate and trivalent lanthanides and yttrium

Solid state compounds were prepared of Ln-4-MeO-BP, where Ln is a trivalent lanthanide (except promethium) or yttrium, and 4-MeO-BP is 4-methoxybenzylidenepyruvate. Thermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and other methods of analysis have been used to characterize and to study the thermal stability and thermal decomposition of these compounds. © 1993.

Thermal decomposition of the hydrated basic carbonates of lanthanides and yttrium in CO2 atmosphere

The hydrated basis carbonates of lanthanides and yttrium were prepared by precipitation from homogeneous solution via the hydrolysis of urea, without the addition of an auxiliary anion. Thermogravimetry, derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) have been used in the study of these compounds in CO2 atmosphere. The results lead to the composition and thermal stability of the studied compounds, and also to a comparative study with reported results in air atmosphere. © 1993.

Thermal decomposition and stability in a series of tetrafluorborate copper(I) complexes

Tetrafluorborate copper(I) complexes containing acetonitrile, triphenylphosphine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2′-bipyridine and 2-quinolinethiol have been prepared in order to study their thermal stabilities as a function of the ligands present. The characterization of the above compounds was carried out by elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. Their thermal behaviour has been investigated and the final products were identified by X-ray powder diagrams. © 1995.

Influence of polymerization on the synthesis of SrTiO3: Part I. Characteristics of the polymeric precursors and their thermal decomposition

The influence of polymerization on the thermal decomposition of polymeric precursors and phase formation was investigated during synthesis of SrTiO3. The precipitation of polymeric precursor in acetone produced a more thermal stable precursor with lower weight loss during decomposition. This more stable precursor retarded the formation of the SrTiO3 phase. From thermal analysis, XRD and FT-IR the presence of an intermediate phase during decomposition of the precursors was observed. This is a mixed (Sr,Ti) carbonate phase with the proposed composition of Sr2Ti2O5.CO3. © 1995.

Thermal decomposition of some diuretic agents

Thermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry were used to study the thermal behaviour of furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, spironolactone, and amiloride hydrochloride. The results revealed the extents of their thermal stability and also permitted interpretations concerning their thermal decompositions. © 1996 Akadémiai Kiadó.

Thermal decomposition of some analgesic agents

Thermogravimetry, derivative thermogravimetry (TG, DTG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), were used to study the thermal behaviour of mefenamic acid, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, sodium diclofenac, phenylbutazone, dipyrone and salicylamide. The results led to thermal stability data and also to the interpretation concerning the thermal decomposition. © 1996 Akadémial Kiadó.

Thermal decomposition of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)

The thermal decomposition of aspirin in air and dry air flux was investigated. Thermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared absorption spectra and thin layer chromatography have been used to study the thermal decomposition of this compound. The results permit the identification of some compounds revealed in the first step of the TG-DTA curves, and also suggest the thermal decomposition mechanism.

Thermal decomposition of the magnesium, zinc, lead and niobium chelates derived from 8-quinolinol

Solid M-Ox compounds, where M represents Mg(II), Zn(II), Pb(II) and NbO(III), and Ox is 8-quinolinol, have been prepared. Thermogravimetry, derivative thermogravimetry (TG, DTG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and infrared absorption spectra (IR) have been used to characterize and to study the thermal stability and thermal decomposition of these compounds. © 1997 Akadémiai Kiadó.

Synthesis, characterization and thermal decomposition of [Pd2 (C2-dmba) (μ-SO4) (μ-SO4) SO22]

The bridged sulphate complex [Pd2 (C2,dmba) (μ-SO4) (SO2)2] has been obtained by reacting a saturated solution of SO2 in methanol and the cyclometallated compound [Pd(C2,N-dmba)(μ-N3)]2; (dmba = N,N-dimethylbenzylamine), at room temperature for 24 h. Reaction product was characterized by elemental analysis, NMR comprising 13C{1H} and 1H nuclei and I.R. spectrum's measurements. Thermal behavior has been investigated and residual products identified by X-ray powder diffraction.

Influence of canine brain decomposition on laboratory diagnosis of rabies.

Canine brains infected with rabies virus were submitted to decomposition by being left at room temperature of 25 to 29 degrees C for up to 168 h. At 24 h intervals, brain fragments were analyzed by immunofluorescence (IF) and by the mouse intracerebral inoculation (MI) test to confirm the diagnosis of rabies and to measure the putrefaction effect on the accuracy of the diagnosis. Forty eight h after the beginning of the experiment, the MI test showed signs of impairment with four negative results, while after 72 h, 100% of the results were negative to the MI test and only one result was negative to the IF test, indicating that the threshold period for accurate diagnosis is 24 to 48 h before putrefaction. The authors recommend the shipment of suspected cases of rabies to the laboratory for confirmation, but the use of putrid materials for diagnosis is meaningless because of false-negative results.
