Abstract

The thermal decomposition of sodium nitrite or nitrate pre-adsorbed upon TiO2 surfaces has been investigated by employing several techniques as infrared spectroscopy (IR) and temperature programmed desorption in conjunction with mass spectrometry analysis (TPD-MS) to study the features observed during these thermal decompositions. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) in combination with X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) were used to investigate the possibility of a solid state chemical reaction between the solid products originated from the thermal decomposition of the pre-adsorbed species and the TiO2. On the basis of our results, various characteristic features of these thermal decomposition reactions will be discussed.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels verschiedenen Techniken, wie z.B. IR-Spektroskopie oder temperaturprogrammierte Desorption in Verbindung mit massenspektrometrischer Analyse wurde die thermische Zersetzung von Natriumnitrit oder Natriumnitrat, welches zuvor an der Oberfläche von TiO2 absorbiert wurde, untersucht, um die Eigenschaften bei dieser thermischen Zersetzung zu beobachten. DTA in Verbindung mit Röntgendiffraktions-analyse wurde eingesetzt, um die Möglichkeit einer chemischen Feststoffreaktion zwischen den bei der thermischen Zersetzung der voradsorbierten Proben entstehenden Produkten und TiO2 zu untersuchen. Anhand der Ergebnisse werden zahlreiche verschiedene charakteristische Wesenszüge dieser thermischen Zersetzung diskutiert.
