Thermal analyses are conducted to measure chemical kinetic parameters of an unknown liquid fuel with various components. Thermal Analyses are divided into two different methods such as TGA(Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis) and DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimety). Non-isothermal experimental results are analyzed by adopting TGA and they are filtered by Freeman-Carroll method. As a results of the analysis, chemical parameters of the activation temperature and the reaction order are measured to be 6128.2 K and 1.4, respectively. Furthermore, the chemical kinetic parameters are obtained by a variety of mathematical processing methods. It has been found that they show a little difference depending on the processing method.

석탄화력발전소 폐기물인 석탄회와 요오드화 세슘의 반응특성을 DTA(Differential Thermal Analysis), TGA(Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis) 장치를 이용하여 분석하였다. 본연구에 사용된 석탄회는 85%의 실리카와 알루미나를 함유하고 있으며 Si/Al 몰비는 2.1 이었다. DTA와 TGA의 열분석 결과 CsI의 분해, 석탄회와 기체상 세슘의 반응 등으로 이루어져 있다. 석탄회와 CsI의 혼합물은 94$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 Pollucite 가 형성되었다. 반응생성물들의 SEM 분석결과 표면이 거칠며 bulky한 crystal 형태로서 구형의 석탄회와는 매우 다른 형상을 보였다. 석탄회는 요오드화세슘의 고정화를 위해서 적합한 알루미노규산염 원료물질들 중의 하나임을 확인하였다.

During the manufacturing process of a printed circuit board(PCB), fumes and mists are generated as the ink dries on the PCB surface. The generated fumes and mists are deposited in the dryer wall and the exhaust duct. Deposited fumes and mists may present a fire hazard if the dryer temperature control system fails. In this study, the thermal stability of the fumes and mists deposited in the dryer and ducts has been analyzed by experimental methods such as thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), auto ignition temperature (AIT), and multiple mode calorimetry(MMC). According to the experimental analyses, experimental samples are likely to generate gas at the temperature ($180{\sim}240^{\circ}C$) that deviates from the normal operating temperature ($150{\sim}156^{\circ}C$). It has been shown that the thermal stability is degraded when the temperature is deviated from the normal operating temperature. In the end, engineering and management safety measures of accidental prevention have been suggested.

To evaluate the possibility as a separator in alkaline water electrolysis, the thermal stability, ion conductivity and durability of 5 commercially available anion exchange membranes were tested. The thermal stability of FAAM-PK-75 and FAAM-40 membrane analyzed by thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) showed good performance compared to the other three types of AEM, AHO, and AHA membrane. The ion conductivity of AEM membrane measured in 7 M KOH solution at 25℃ and 80℃ had a higher value of about 4~17 times compared to the other membranes. The durability of FAAM-PK-75 tested in 7 M KOH solution at 25℃ was high compared to the other membranes.

Hot stage microscopy (HSM) is a thermal analysis technique that combines the best properties of thermal analysis and microscopy. HSM is rapidly gaining interest in pharmaceuticals as well as in other fields as a regular characterization technique. In pharmaceuticals HSM is used to support differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) observations and to detect small changes in the sample that may be missed by DSC and TGA during a thermal experiment. Study of various physical and chemical properties such sample morphology, crystalline nature, polymorphism, desolvation, miscibility, melting, solid state transitions and incompatibility between various pharmaceutical compounds can be carried out using HSM. HSM is also widely used to screen cocrystals, excipients and polymers for solid dispersions. With the advancements in research methodologies, it is now possible to use HSM in conjunction with other characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), DSC, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which may have additional benefits over traditional characterization techniques for rapid and comprehensive solid state characterization.

The aim of this work is to provide new experimental data on the pyrolysis characteristics and the minimum ignition energy (MIE) by using the same high-density polyethylene (HDPE) powder in domestic HDPE dust explosion accident. To evaluate the explosion sensitivity of HDPE, thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and MIE apparatus (MIKE-3, K$\ddot{u}$hner) was conducted. The measurements showed the volume median diameter of $61.6{\mu}m$ but the particle number density of 98 % in the range $0.4{\sim}4{\mu}m$. The ignition temperature from the results of TGA and DSC in HDPE dust layers was observed in the range of $380{\sim}490^{\circ}C$. MIE was measured under 1 mJ in the HDPE dust concentration of $1200{\sim}1800g/m^3$, it was found that the ratio of particle number density in the range $0.4{\sim}4{\mu}m$ was very high (98%).

탄소재료의 산화반응을 설명한 대부분의 논문은 TGA(Thermo Gravimetric Analysis)를 이용한 연구이다. TGA 장치는 가열이 필요한 물질의 반응연구에 다양하게 이용되고 있는데, 온도에 대한 무게 변화를 간편하게 알 수 있다는 장점과 함께 보편적으로 편리한 Arrhenius형태의 속도식으로 해석된다. 많은 연구자들은 TGA를 이용하여 다양한 탄소재료에 대한 반응속도상수를 구하였으며, 반응기체, 반응온도 및 원료물질에 따라 다른 속도를 나타내는 실험결과를 표준화된 속도식으로 표현하고자 하는 노력이 있었다. 그러나 이런 대부분의 연구는 coal 등과 같은 탄소재료의 연소특성을 이용하려는 에너지 변환 연구가 주를 이루어 왔으며, 탄소섬유의 산화반응에 대한 표준화 식으로 해석한 보고는 거의 없는 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 내부구조가 현격하게 차이나는 다른 두 종류의 피치계 탄소섬유를 TGA를 이용하여 등온 산화반응 시켰다. 반응기체의 종류와 반응온도를 변화시켜 산화반응조건에 따른 중량변화를 관찰하였고, 여러 산화조건에서 얻어진 산화속도를 Kasaoka 등에 의해 제안된 표준화식을 이용하여 산화반응의 평균 속도상수 K와 전환율이 0.5일 때의 속도상수 $k_{f=0.5}$ 결과를 비교하여 산화 반응속도를 정량적으로 해석하고자 하였다.다.

ZnO/Zn redox cycle is the one of the promising thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production via water splitting with high temperature heat source like a concentrated solar energy. This paper reports the particle size effect of Zinc on water splitting behavior. Water splitting reaction experiments were carried out at isothermal conditions of 350 and 400$^{\circ}C$ in TGA (Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer) using four commercial Zinc powders (nano, <10 ${\mu}m$, <150 ${\mu}m$ and $150{\sim}600\;{\mu}m$ particle sizes). Before the experiments, average particle size of Zinc powders was analyzed by PSA (Particle Size Analysis). After the experiments, XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) analyses were conducted on the samples. The experimental results showed that particle size had a effect on the conversion of Zinc to ZnO. Zinc conversion was increased, as the particle size decreased. Especially, the nano size particles were aggregated and the particle's morphology changed on the surface during hydrolysis reaction.

Glutaronitrile(GN) was introduced to diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)/ 4,4'-methylene dianiline(MDA) system to improve toughness. Effects of GN contents on thermal decomposition of epoxy resin system were investigated. To study the characteristics of thermal decomposition, thermo-gravimetric analysis(TGA) and Kissinger equation were used. Thermal degradation temperatures were about 365$^{\circ}C$ regardless of GN contents. Activation energies of thermal decomposition in epoxy resin system were almost constant below 10 phr and decreased above 15 phr.
