Abstract

The thermal decomposition of the interlayer complexes of homoionic samples of montmorillonite with the carbamate insecticide pirimicarb (2-dimethylamino-5, 6-dimethyl pyrimidin 4-yl-dimethyl carbamate) was studied using TG and DSC techniques. The decomposition of the organic compound was followed by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. It was observed that the thermal decomposition of pirimicarb is catalyzed by adsorption by the clay. Both the catalytic capacity of the clay and the values of the decomposition enthalpies depend on the characteristics of the interlayer cation of the montmorillonite.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels TG und DSC Techniken wurde die thermische Zersetzung der Zwischenschichtkomplexe von homoionischen Proben von Montmorillonit mit dem Karbamatinsektizid Pirimicarb (2-Dimethylamino-5,6-dimethylpyrimidin-4-yl-dimethylkarbamat) untersucht. Die Zersetzung der organischen Verbindung wurde mittels IR-Spektroskopie und Röntgendiffraktion verfolgt. Es wurde beobachtet, daß die thermische Zersetzung von Pirimicarb durch Adsorption an dem Ton katalysiert wird. Sowohl die Katalysatorkapazität des Tones als auch die Werte für die Zersetzungsenthalpie hängen von der Art der Zwischenschichtkationen des Montmorillonites ab.

Резюме

Методом ТГ и ДСК изуче но термическое разложение прослоис тых комплексов гомоионных образцов монтмориллонита с карбаматпроизводны м инсектицидом пирим икарб (2-диметиламино-5,6-димет илпиримидин-4-ил-димет илкарбамат). Исследов ание прод uктов разложения было пров едено с помощью ИК спе ктроскопии и рентгенофазового а нализа. Найдено, что термичес кое разложение пирим икарба катализируется адсо рбцией его этим минералом. Каталитич еская способность ми нерала и значения энтальпий р азложения зависят от характеристик межсл оевого катиона монтм ориллонита.
