APPLICATIONS Vitriol of copper 3.0 Inorganic salts first set their crystal water free. Vitriol of Copper heated with 10°C/min. results in a first TG stage, which corresponds to 4H2O. TG and DTA show that the curve is made up of two separate steps, one closely behind the other. At around 250°C the most strongly bound water evaporates. The dehydrate is raw gypsum. There are two molecules of water attached to a single CaSO4 molecule. By heating up to app. 160°C the semi hydrate gypsum is built. 1,5 molecules of water are released; so two CaSO4 molecules are sharing a single water molecule. By...

Decomposition of CaC2O4 • H2O The evolved gases from the decomposition of calcium oxalate has been fed into the mass spectrometer with a heated capillary. The ion currents for mass numbers 18 (water), 28 (carbon monoxide) and 44 (carbon dioxide) have been imported into the graph. The main parts of cement are tri calcium silicate, di calcium silicate and tri calcium aluminates. Hydrates slowly form after mixing cement with water. The absorbed water evaporates first. Hydrates of the calcium silicate decompose at 570°C. The hydroxides of calcium, magnesium and aluminum follow. Subsequently,...

Release of volatile parts Burn out of organic parts In the first step of weight loss, the dehydration of the sample takes place. The amount of water was 9.27%. In the second reaction step, the volatile components are released by pyrolysis under N2 atmosphere. The amount of these components is 35.99%. For the third reaction step, the atmosphere is changed to O2 – all organic components are burned out. The loss in weight is 14.33%. The remaining rest of 40.41% are inorganic components like ashes, slake or fillers. Mass change -1.12% Dehydration At the beginning of the heating process some...
