Abstract

DSC and TG-DTA techniques were used to investigate micro-sized silver powder particles and the adsorption of ethyl cellulose on these particles in a solution of ethyl acetate. The apparent specific heat of the silver particles was determined, and the kinetics of temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of these adsorbed silver particles was investigated. Results show that the apparent specific heat and desorption kinetic parameters obtained by thermal analysis techniques could be used to characterize certain physico-chemical properties of such a particulate system.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels DSC und TG-DTA wurden Mikro-Silberstaubpartikel und die Adsorption von Ethylcellulose an diesen Partikeln in Ethylacetatlösung untersucht. Es wurde die scheinbare spezifische Wärme der Silberpartikel ermittelt und die Kinetik der temperaturpro-grammierten Desorption (TPD) dieser adsorbierten Silberpartikel untersucht. Die Resultate erweisen, daß die mittels Thermoanalyse ermittelten scheinbaren spezifischen Wärmewerte und Desorptionskinetikparemeter zur Charakterisierung bestimmter physikalisch-chemischer Eigenschaften solcher Partikelsysteme geeignet sind.
