CF_4 Decomposition by Thermal Plasma Processing

Sun, Jong-Woo,Park, Dong-Wha 한국화학공학회 2003 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.20 No.3

Decomposition of CF_4 was investigated by thermal plasma method. Thermal plasma processes applied to environmental problems have the features of high temperature, high activity and rapid decomposition rate, so it can perfectly decompose non-decomposed materials like CF_4 to a high degree. Before the experiment, thermodynamic equilibrium calculations were performed from 300 K to 5,000 K at atmospheric pressure. Based on the thermodynamic equilibrium calculations, the trends in decomposition and recombination of CF_4 were studied. Decomposition was carried out by injecting mixtures of CF_4 bubbled by Ar, with some addition gases, such as H_2 and O_2 at atmospheric pressure. Experiments were performed to determine the effects of additive gas identity, additive gas dilution, input power, etc. on the decomposition ef CF_4. Plasma input power has a slight effect on CF_4 decomposition, and the injection of reacting gas through a torch increased CF_4 decomposition. Supply of H_2 and O_2 as addition gases increased the CF_4 decomposition to 99% for experimental conditions tested.

Since HFCs does not contain Cl component, they are not harmful to the depletion of Ozone layer but require reduction especially due to the high GWP (global warming potential). The HFC 134a, known as one of typical refrigerant of HFCs is generally shown to be effectively thermally decomposed only above the temperature of 3,000℃. However, giving condition of sufficient water vapor and the temperature more than 800℃ with large heating source like in calcination reactor or blast furnace, the thermal decomposition of HFC 134a will occur easily due the component of H and O contained in water vapor. In order to investigate this phenomenological finding appeared in large scale field test, a series of experimental investigation has been made for the thermal decomposition rate of HFC 134a as a function oxygen and HFC 134a flow rate for a small tubular reactor. In this experiment the wall temperature of tubular reactor was fixed to be 900℃. In order to verify and figure out the finding by experiment, numerical calculation has also been made for the detailed reaction of HFC 134a inside the tubular reactor. The comparison between experiment and numerical calculation are in good agreement each other especially for the rate of thermal destruction at the exit of the reactor. Further, considering the efficient thermal decomposition of HFC 134a in the H2O vapor environment with sufficient heating source, the application of the stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, that is, H2+ 1/2O2, is made numerically in the same tubular reactor, for the thermal decomposition of HFC 134a. The result appears physically acceptable and looks promising for the future method of the HFCs decomposition.

347 austenitic stainless steel weld (ASSW) was thermally aged at 343, 400 and 450 °C up to 20,000 h in this study. Effects of thermal aging induced microstructure evolution on the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of delta-ferrite in the 347 ASSW were qualitatively and quantitatively assessed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (0.07 nm) with energy-dispersive spectroscope (EDS) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). After thermal aging at 343 °C for 20,000 h and 400 °C over 5,000 h, fluctuation of major alloying elements such as Fe, Cr, and Ni was observed by spinodal decomposition in the delta-ferrite. Meanwhile, a Ni+Si-rich G phase was developed as thermal aging progressed at 400 °C for 20,000 h and 450 °C for 5,000 h in the delta-ferrite. Such microstructure evolutions tended to be accelerated with increasing aging temperature and exposure period, while the G phase was formed at a higher exposure temperature and/ or period compared to spinidal decomposition. These effects increased the tensile strength and decreased the elongation of 347 ASSW at room temperature, compared to the as-welded condition. Moreover, when spinodal decomposition and G phase were observed, the degree of sensitization values of the 347 ASSW in the double loop-electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation tests were significantly increased, due to localized Cr depletion in the delta-ferrite.

In this study, the structures and thermal stability of pure urea-formaldehyde resin (PR) and modified urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin are investigated by differential thermal gravity (TG/DTG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) supported by data from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. FTIR analysis indicate that the modifiers such as polydimethylsiloxane, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and phenol have actively participated in the curing reactions. TG/DTG and DSC curve of UF resin show that its pyrolysis process is conducted in three steps: desiccation and dehydration, flash pyrolysis and slow decomposition. Compared with pure urea-formaldehyde resin (PR), modified UF resin exhibited good thermal stability. The activation energy (E) of modified UF resin acquired by Kissinger and Ozawa method was higher than that of PR. ΔH > 0, ΔS > 0 and ΔG > 0 in the thermal decomposition process of UF resin means that the decomposition reaction of UF resin before and after modification is a process of unnatural decalescence and entropy increase.

Mohammad Hossein Habibi,Bahareh Karimi 한국공업화학회 2014 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.20 No.3

Nanostructure CuO/ZnO mixed oxide was systematically prepared via the sol–gel route using zinc andcopper carbonates as precursors (molar ratio of 2:1) under thermal decomposition. The zinc and coppercarbonates precursors have been synthesized by a simple chemical reaction in high yield andcharacterized by its melting point, FT-IR and thermal analysis (TG/DTG). The TG/DTG analysis provedthat the thermal decomposition of zinc and copper carbonates precursors at 255 ℃ and 289 ℃ respectively. Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TG-DTG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanningelectron microscopy (FESEM) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) studies were undertaken toinvestigate the thermal properties and electronic structure of the CuO/ZnO mixed oxide catalysts. XRDdata of the samples proved the formation of the nano-crystalline CuO/ZnO mixed oxide. Scanningelectron microscopy (SEM) showed that the spherical-like particles have a diameter in the range 35–45 nm. Optical spectra of the nanostructure show a band peaked at 1.35 eV which is associated to nearband gap transitions of CuO and a band centered at about 3.00 eV related to band gap transitions of ZnOnanostructures.

( Wonsool Ahn ) 한국고무학회 2016 엘라스토머 및 콤포지트 Vol.51 No.2

Thermal decomposition kinetics for two different types of polyurethane elastomers prepared with 2,2``-dichloro- 4,4``-methylenedianiline (MOCA) and 3,5-dimethyl-thiotoluenediamine (Ethacure-300), based on PTMG/TDI isocyanate prepolymer, were studied using non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Thermograms were obtained and analyzed using Friedman (FR) and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) methods for activation energy, Ea. The results obtained showed that decomposition reaction of both samples was observed similarly to occur through three different stages, i.e., initial stage with vaporization of low molecular weight materials, second stage of urethane linkage decompositions, and later stage of polyol segment decompositions. However, activation energy values at each stage for the sample cured with Ethacure- 300 was much lower than those for the sample with MOCA, exhibiting relatively lower thermal stability for the sample with Ethacure-300 than that with MOCA.

The present study prepared molybdenum trioxide ($MoO_3$), the most important intermediate of molybdenum metal, by using a fluidized bed reactor for the thermal decomposition of ammonium molybdate (AM) in the presence of an air flow. During the process of fluidizing the sample inside the reactor, the reaction time and temperature were optimized with a close analysis of the X-ray diffraction (XRD) data and with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). In particular, the temperature level, at which the AM decomposition is completed, is very important as a primary operating parameter. The analysis of the XRD and TGA data showed that the AM decomposition is almost completed at ${\sim}350^{\circ}C$ with a reaction time of 30 min. A shorter reaction time of 10 min. required a higher reaction temperature of ${\sim}500^{\circ}C$ with the same air flow rate to complete the AM decomposition. A sharp rise in the decomposition efficiency at a temperature ranging between 320 and $350^{\circ}C$ indicated a threshold for the AM decomposition. The operating conditions determined in this study can be used for future scale-ups of the process.

Evaluation of Ozone Condensation System by T.D Method

Lee, Hee-Kab,Park, Yong-Pil The Korean Institute of Electrical and Electronic 2000 Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Material Vol.1 No.2

An ozone condensation system is evaluated from the viewpoint of an ozone supplier fro oxide thin film growth. Ozone is condensed by the adsorption method and its concentration is analyzed using the thermal decomposition method, The concentration of ozone exceeds 90mol% and ozone is supplied for a sufficiently long time to grow oxide thin films. Investigation of the ozone decomposition rate demonstrates that ozone can be transferred into the film growth chamber without marked decomposition. The ozone concentration is also evaluated using a quardrupole mass analyzer and the accuracy of this method is compared with the results of the thermal decomposition method.
