Abstract
The thermoanalytical techniques e.g. DSC, TG/DTG and Hot Stage Microscopy have been used to examine the system of NaClO4, S and charcoal mixtures. The results show that there is no reaction between NaClO4 and S alone, but the presence of charcoal activates their reaction. Charcoal is oxidised by NaClO4 prior to the melting of NaClO4, showing a solid phase reaction. The presence of S activates the whole of the reaction to such a level that the mixture burns around 300‡C.
Zusammenfassung
Mittels DSC, TG/DTG und HSM wurde das System von Gemischen aus NaClO4, S und Holzkohle untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, da\ sich zwischen NaClO4 und S allein keine Reaktion abspielt, da\ diese Reaktion aber durch Gegenwart von Holzkohle aktiviert wird. Noch vor dem Schmelzen von NaClO4 wird Holzkohle in einer Feststoffreaktion von NaClO4 oxydiert. Die Gegenwart von S aktiviert die gesamte Reaktion in dem Ma\e, da\ das Gemisch bei 300‡C verbrennt.
