For effective waste management of mining industries is important to investigate their physical and mineralogical changes. For this purpose, X-raydiffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TG), derivative thermogravimetry (DTG), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) methods were used. Changes in the contents of mobile forms of heavy metals in rocks were investigated using an acetate-ammonium buffer solution with a pH of 4.8 after burning rocks at a temperature of 800–850°C. The obtained data indicated the significant role of the mineral composition in the thermal behavior of the rock samples and the subsequent influence of the thermal processes on the changes in the bioavailability of heavy metals.

The article is devoted to the experimental determination of thermokinetic parameters of oil sludge thermal degradation using the model-free Ozawa-Flynn-Wall method in the presence of a nanocatalyst (nickel, cobalt and iron-supported microsilicate) by calculating Arrhenius kinetic parameters (activation energy and pre-exponential factor). The phase composition of the reflex microsilicate was established – 4.12; 2.51 Å – SiO2, nickel-supported microsilicate reflexes: 2.09; 1.48 Å – NiO, reflexes: 4.25 Å – SiO2 and acid numbers of microsilicate – 64 μmol/g of prepared nanocatalysts. Using the method of Brunauer, Emmett and Teller, the specific surface area of the microsilicate was established – 18.3 ± 0.3 m2 /g, the microsilicate with nickel applied – 20.9 ± 0.2 m2 /g and the adsorption isotherm of the prepared nanocatalysts (microsilicate with nickel, cobalt and iron). Thermokinetic parameters of thermal decomposition of oil sludge without a catalyst and with a catalyst at an increment of 0.9 are 99.0 and 93.3 kJ/mol nickel-supported microsilicate, 51.9 kJ/mol cobalt-supported microsilicate, 111.3 kJ/mol iron-supported microsilicate and non-metal-supported microsilicate 173.7 kJ/mol, respectively. The study of the kinetic parameters of pyrolysis of oil sludge using various catalysts makes it possible to assess their influence on the process of decomposition of organic components. The results of the experiments showed that the use of catalysts significantly affects the destruction of oil sludge. Dynamic thermal analysis at different heating rates studied the dynamics of oil sludge decomposition. The study of the effect of catalysts on the kinetic parameters of oil sludge pyrolysis is an important step in the development of new methods for the disposal of petroleum products and the reduction of their negative impact on the environment. The obtained experimental data on thermal degradation kinetics of oil sludge will find application in designing a reactor for the process of destructive hydrogenation of heavy hydrocarbon raw materials.

Many modern processes for the production and casting of metals and their alloys are carried out in protective gas atmospheres, which protect them, for example, from oxygen pollution. This applies, for example, to titanium, magnesium or aluminum alloys. Most liquid alloys are comprised of constituents that differ in vapor pressures, resulting in harmful phenomenon during melting due to evaporation of some of its components. This harmful process may be limited by the selection of a suitable gas atmosphere in which the liquid metal treatment process is carried out. In the paper, results of study on the impact of the type of gas atmosphere on the rate of evaporation of zinc in argon - hydrogen mixtures are presented. It should be noted that such mixtures are used, for example, in metal welding processes, in which it is also possible to evaporate a component of the so-called liquid metal pool. The research results showed that the rate of zinc evaporation increases with the increase of hydrogen content in the gas atmosphere.

The synthesis and physicochemical properties of three new complexes of vanadium at +5, +4 and +3 oxidation state are described and discussed. The octahedral surrounding of vanadium for V(III) complexes of [V(L1)(HL1)] general formula is filled with two ONO tridentate ligand L, for V(IV) one ONO ligand L, oxido ligand and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) as a co-ligand are presented in complexes of [VO(L2)(phen)]. For V(V) the complexes of [VO2(L1)(solv)] type were formed. As ligands, the H2L Schiff bases were formed in reaction between 5-hydroxysalcylaldehyde and phenylacetic hydrazide (H2L1) and 3,5- dichlorosalicyaldehyde and 4-hydroxybenzhydrazide (L2). The magnetic moment measurements, in 8 year period, show, that V(III) complexes slowly oxidise to V(IV) with preservation of the nonoxido character of the complexes, while V(IV) complexes were found to be stable. The TG and SDTA measurements indicate, that thermal stability depends mainly on the oxidation state of vanadium. The less thermally stable are the V(V) complexes, while V(IV) and V(III) are stable up to ca. 200oC. In solution, at pH 2 (similar to that in human digestion system), again the V(IV) are the most stable, only at pH 7.0 V(III) complexes had higher stability. The most stable, thus best for pharmaceutical use, are V(IV) complexes.

Thermogravimetry (TG) is the fast and reliable method for characterization of thermal decomposition of any material and in particular to determine the kinetics of pyrolytic decomposition of sewage sludge. Two types of sewage sludge with and without addition of lime were investigated from kinetic point of view. For TG analysis samples of selected sewage sludge were heated under the inert atmosphere of argon with constant heating rate from 303 to 1273 K; the three heating rate β = 5, 10 and 20 K/min were chosen. The iso-conversion methods of Friedman and Ozawa-Flynn-Wall were employed for analysis of TG results. As the sewage sludge decomposition is very complex process it cannot be described by a simple stoichiometric equation, therefore the so called lumping of reactions in the selected temperature ranges were used with detailed principles arising from visual analysis of DTG curve. The deconvolution of DTG curves performed according to Fraser-Suzuki asymmetric profile allowed the identification of number of lumps and their contribution to the overall mass loss. So the decomposition of sewage sludge with lime addition could be described with five groups of reactions while the one without lime by means of six lumps. The thermal decomposition of sewage sludge was assumed to proceed according to the scheme of parallel concurrent independent reactions of n-th order. The values of the apparent activation energies at different constant values of conversion degrees were determined by the iso-conversion analysis. To estimate the kinetic parameters the non-linear regression with Levenberg-Marquart optimization procedure was used. The kinetic parameters such as activation energy, pre-exponential factor, reaction order and fraction of total mass loss associated with a given reaction were determined. The impact of sewage sludge liming revealed in essential differences of pyrolysis products and pyrolysis kinetics of limed sludge and without lime one was highlighted.

In the present paper, three kinds of aged and freshly prepared 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) based Composition B stockpiled, for a period of 20 and 32 years, were investigated for the effect of natural ageing on their thermal degradation behaviour and kinetic parameters. The properties investigated indicated that there was no significant change in the thermal stability of the samples aged under natural environmental conditions. The kinetic parameters were studied by means of the Kissinger method using the peak temperature at maximum reaction rate from DSC data, and the isoconversional Kissinger-Akahira-Sunnose (KAS) and ASTM E689 methods from TGA data. The apparent activation energies calculated by the Kissinger method were 173.8 kJ·mol–1 for fresh, 170.4 kJ·mol–1 for 20 y old and 187.1 kJ·mol–1 for 32 y old Composition B, respectively. The values calculated by the KAS method were found to be in the range 77.2-235.8 kJ·mol–1 for fresh Composition B, 75.7-224.0 kJ·mol–1 for 20 y old and 70.4-196.0 kJ·mol–1 for 30 y old Composition B, respectively. The activation energies obtained from the KAS methods are in good agreement and consistent with the isoconversional ASTM E689 kinetic method. The thermodynamic parameters, such the Gibbs free energy of activation (ΔG#), activation enthalpy (ΔH#) and activation entropy (ΔS#) for the formation of activated complexes were also studied and are discussed.

Three products were obtained from the condensation of citric acid with: propane-1,2-diol with the catalyst Tyzor TPT (HDCA1), propane-1,2-diol without a catalyst (HDCA2) and propane-1,3-diol with the catalyst Tyzor TPT (HDCA3). We measured the viscosities (from 3972 mPa • s for HDCA1 to 27 986 mPa • s for HDCA3), densities (about 1200 g/cm3), hydroxyl values (280–427 mg KOH/g), and acid values (23–52 mg KOH/g) of the HDCAs. The thermal resistance of the HDCAs were assessed under dynamic conditions. The temperature ranges of 5, 10, 20 and 50 % weight loss for HDCA polyols were, respectively: 174–194 °C, 230–234 °C, 263–303 °C, and 314–364 °C. The HDCAs were used in the further synthesis of rigid polyurethane-polyisocyanurate foams (PUR-PIR) and their physical qualities assessed with reference to foams produced from an industrial standard (Rokopol RF551). The authors examined the thermal properties (thermogravimetry, differential thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry) of the foams, as well as the thermal stability: dimensional, volume and mass. The number of foam degradation stages was determined, as well as the speed of degradation of specific chemical bonds and percentage mass loss during all stages. We determined the temperature of the foam’s first weight loss, the extrapolating temperature of the foam’s weight loss, the temperature of the start of the foam’s rapid decomposition, and the temperature of the foam’s highest speed of weight loss, the temperatures of 5 %, 10 %, 20 % and 50 % mass loss were measured (respectively: 208–223 °C, 230–260 °C, 280–300 °C, 345–366 °C). The enthalpy related to each individual stage of foam degradation was examined using DSC (three endotherms and one exothermic peak).

The effects of the UV radiation on the surface geometrical structure, phase transition temperatures, and the temperature of the onset of thermal decomposition of a polylactide film containing 2 wt % of dye are presented. The surface geometrical structure was examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The temperatures of both the phase transitions and the changes in the melting enthalpy of the crystalline phase were determined using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The temperature of the onset of thermal decomposition of the film was determined with a thermogravimetry (TG) instrument. It was found that the UV radiation generated in an aging test chamber mostly causes changes in the surface geometrical structure of the examined film and reduces the onset temperature of the film thermal decomposition.

Cobalt-based superalloys are class of new heat-resistant materials for components of turbine engines. The γ-γʹ phase microstructure similar to nickel-based analogue, provide excellent creep resistance as well as resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Superior high temperature resistance drives intensive development of Co-based superalloys. The aim of paper is assessment of high temperature oxidation behaviour of Co–9Al–9W and Co–20Ni–7Al–7W alloys in as-cast state. The non-isothermal oxidation performance of Co–9Al–9W and Co–20Ni–7Al–7W alloys was studied using thermogravimetric method up to 1200°C. The thermogravimetric analysis was carried out under argon atmosphere with heating rate 5°C/min. The scale morphology after high temperature oxidation test was investigated. The evaluation of scale concerned macrostructure, microstructure, chemical and phase composition of surface after high temperature oxidation tests. Surface of tested alloys after oxidation was characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and light microscopy (LM). Co–20Ni–7Al–7W was characterized by slightly better high temperature oxidation resistance than basic Co–9Al–9W alloy. The surface stability in elevated temperature is important factor in case of components undergoing elevated temperature. This paper shows possibilities of these alloys for high temperature service.

The investigated nanocomposite was either in a form of nanopowder or dispersed at concentration of 0.1 wt.% in poly(ethylene naphthalate-block-tetramethylene oxide) PTMO-b-PEN polymer matrix. Similarities and differences in magnetic behavior of these two samples revealed by the study of static magnetization and FMR spectra have been discussed relative to different morphologies and the associated variation of interparticle interactions. Moreover, thermal and thermo-oxidative stability of the nanocomposite and the neat polymer have been studied by thermogravimetric method.

Flame retardant properties of both the control and the treated fabrics were analysed in terms of limiting oxygen index (LOI), horizontal and vertical flammability. Fabrics treated with the non-diluted BPS were found to have good flame retardant property with LOI of 30 compared to the control fabric with LOI of 18, i.e., an increase of 1.6 times. In the vertical flammability test, the BPS treated fabric showed flame for a few seconds and then, got extinguished. In the horizontal flammability test, the treated fabric showed no flame, but was burning only with an afterglow with a propagation rate of 7.5 mm/min, which was almost 10 times lower than that noted with the control fabric. The thermal degradation and the pyrolysis of the fabric samples were studied using a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and the chemical composition by FTIR, SEM and EDX, besides the pure BPS being characterized by EDX and mass spectroscopy. The fabric after the treatment was found to produce stable natural khaki colour, and there was no significant degradation in mechanical strengths. Based on the results, the mechanism of imparting flame retardancy to cellulosic textile and the formation of natural colour on it using the proposed BPS treatment have been postulated.

W pracy zbadano produkcję polihydroksymaślanu (PHB) przez bakterie Cupriavidus necator w podłożu syntetycznym oraz w podłożu natu-ralnym w kolbach wstrząsanych. Stwierdzono, że najwięcej PHB w komórkach bakterii (62,0%) uzyskano w podłożu syntetycznym zawierającym maślan sodu o stężeniu 5 g/dm3. Przeprowadzona analiza termograwimetryczna C. necator wykazała, że jest wyraźny podział pomiędzy rozkładem termicznym PHB a pozostałymi składnikami komórek bakterii, co wskazuje na możliwość jej zastosowania do oznaczania zawartości PHB w komórkach drobnoustrojów.

The production of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by Cupriavidus necator in a synthetic and natural medium in shake flasks was investigated. It was found that most of PHB in bacterial cells (62.0%) was obtained in a synthetic medium containing sodium butyrate at the concentration of 5 g/dm3. The thermogravimetric analysis of C. necator showed the clear separation between the thermal degradation of PHB and other components of bacterial cells suggesting the possibility of its usage for the determination of PHB in the cells of microorganisms.
