The results show that sulfonationt time （2.5 h）, sulfonation temperature （160 ℃） and condensation time （5.0 h） are key factors. Adding oxidizing agent MO in the course of synthesis can decrease the emission of SO2 in exhaust （20%）. Compared with NF, NF-30 have some advantages in lower cost, high water reducing rate （19.7%） and optimum early strengths. Moreover, TGA-DTA and SEM analysis were adopted to research the NF-30 modified concrete on hydyation mechanism. The analysis show that, compared with NF, there are a large number of hydration products such as Ca （OH）2, C-S-H, AFt etc of NF-30, the structure of NF-30 is dense and the performance is good.展开更多

In this study, all the runs were performed with 50% load of the catalyst and the results were compared with those of PP + 50% pure silica having no catalytic activity. The degradation behavior of PP using catalyst Zeolyst-713 exhibited much higher degradation activity among the other catalysts used in this study. Moreover, it contributed to lowering of initial stage temperature showing a shape-selective effect. DSC-TGA tools such as Ton, Tmax, T99%, activation energy, enthalpy change in the process and coke content were used for screening. It was concluded that the pore construction and unique acid properties of the Zeolyst-713 as well as proper reaction temperatures were significant influential factors to fully exert this effect. In this work, kinetics of catalytic thermogravimetric degradation of PP used for domestic purposes was investigated using Alumino-silicate catalyst. Zeolyst-713 was observed to lower activation energy and enhances degradation activity in comparison with thermal degradation without a catalyst.展开更多
