Abstract
Herein, a thermal analysis system and a laser combustion diagnostic system were employed to comparatively investigate the reaction behavior differences of Al particles in N2 and oxidizing atmospheres. The results show that Al particles have higher mass gain and heat release in N2 compared to air and carbon dioxide at low heating rates. When the temperature is increased to 1000 °C, the reaction efficiency of Al in nitrogen is as high as 56.68%, much higher than that of 16.02% for air and 17.41% for carbon dioxide. Broken particles and large-sized agglomerates are found in the intermediate nitride products, and the particle surfaces become loose and porous. Combustion test results show that the combustion performance of Al particles in air is better than that in N2. Nanoscale smooth spherical alumina particles are found in the condensed combustion products of Al particles under air. Whisker-like aluminum nitride (AlN) is observed under nitrogen.
期刊介绍:
Thermochimica Acta publishes original research contributions covering all aspects of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods and their application to experimental chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The journal aims to span the whole range from fundamental research to practical application.
The journal focuses on the research that advances physical and analytical science of thermal phenomena. Therefore, the manuscripts are expected to provide important insights into the thermal phenomena studied or to propose significant improvements of analytical or computational techniques employed in thermal studies. Manuscripts that report the results of routine thermal measurements are not suitable for publication in Thermochimica Acta.
The journal particularly welcomes papers from newly emerging areas as well as from the traditional strength areas:
- New and improved instrumentation and methods
- Thermal properties and behavior of materials
- Kinetics of thermally stimulated processes
