Abstract

The progressive nature of the process of dehydration of Ca(NO3)2·4 H2O has been shown not to be due to consecutive decomposition reactions, as believed so far, but is the result of various physical processes, such as the incongruent melting of the material, the boiling and evaporation of the unsaturated or saturated solution formed, as well as the crust formation and drying of the surface of the solidifying residue. The quasi-isothermal-quasiisobaric thermogravimetric technique and the phase diagram of the Ca(NO3)2-H2O system were used to evaluate the results.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurde bewiesen, dass der progressive Charakter des Dehydrationsvorganges vom Ca(NO3)2·4 H2O nicht den aufeinanderfolgenden Dekompositionsreaktipnen zuzuschreiben ist, wie es bisher gedacht wurde, sondern ein Ergebnis verschiedener physikalischen Prozesse ist, wie das inkongruente Schmelzen des Materials, das Sieden und die Verdampfung der sich bildenden ungesättigten oder gesättigten Lösung, wie auch Verkrustung und Trocknung der Oberfläche des festwerdenden Materials. Zur Auswertung der Ergebnisse wurde die quasi-isothermische-quasi-isobare thermogravimetrische Methode und das Phasendiagramm des Ca(NO3)2-H2O-Systems gebraucht.

Резюме

Показано, что последо вательность процесс а дегидратации Ca(NO3)2 · 4 H2O об условлена не ступенчатым харак тером реакций разлож ения, как это было принято, а являет ся результатом различн ых физических процес сов, таких как инконгруэнтное п лавление вещества, кипение и ис парение образующего ся ненасыщенного и насы щенного раствора, образование корки и в ысушивание поверхно сти затвердевающегося о статка. В исследовани ях был применен квазииз отермический—квази изобарный термогравиметричес кий метод, а для оценки полученн ых результатов была использована фазова я диаграмма системы Ca(NO3)2-H2O.
