Abstract

A study was made of the difference occurring in ammonium nitrate during investigation by DTA and by DSC. The results show that the DTA of ammonium nitrate (p.a.) is accompanied by the crystal transformation IV → III → II → I and melting. During DSC investigation of the same ammonium nitrate samples, the salt undergoes the transformations IV → III and IV → II in parallel; then follow the crystal transformations III → II → I and melting. The investigation conditions and the history of the samples do not essentially influence the crystal transformations during thermal analysis.

Zusammenfassung

Bei DTA und DSC von Ammoniumnitrat zu beobachtende Unterschiede wurden untersucht. Bei der DTA von p.a. Ammoniumnitrat verlaufen die Kristallumwandlungen IV → III → II → I sowie der Schmelzvorgang. Während der DSC der gleichen Ammoniumnitratproben verlaufen die Übergänge IV → III und IV → II parallel, worauf die Kristallumwandlungen III → II → I und der Schmelzvorgang folgen. Die experimentellen Bedingungen und die Vorgeschichte der Proben hat keinen wesentlichen Einfluß auf die während der thermischen Analyse verlaufenden Kristallumwandlungen.

Резюме

Методами ДТА и ДСК про ведено исследование превращений в нитрат е аммонии. Результаты ДТА иссле дований образца нитр ата аммония (квалификаци и ч.д.а) показали наличие кристалличе ских превращений тип а IV → III → II → I и плавление. ДСК исс ледования того же самого образц а показали, что превращения типа IV → III и IV → II протека-ют параллельно, за котор ыми следует превраще ние типа III → II ar I и плавление. Экспери ментальные условия и происхождение образ цов влияния на кристаллические п ревращения.
