The use of modern thermobalances, with high sensitivity, fast heating and cooling rates, and good atmosphere control, has allowed the routine application of compositional analysis using thermogravimetry in solving a wide range of industrially important analytical problems. Using examples drawn from experiences within their laboratory, the authors show how the technique can be extended beyond the traditional areas of proximate analysis of coals and determinations of carbon contents. Less common experimental procedures are described, including the use of reactive gases, and the study of samples in liquid and paste form.

The application of thermal analysis is outlined by 18 contributions, writtenby experts in the various fields of geosciences. Emphasis was laid on the determination of minerals and technical products, kinetic parameters and calorific values in glass and ceramics technology, characterization of raw materials (e.g. clays, industrial minerals), in quality control and performance assessment, but also in environment protection from soil and water pollution, using re-evaluated existing and new data and improved combined modern methods. This book is addressed to practitioners, scientistsand students in mineralogy/crystallography, applied geology, material sciences, and environmental sciences.

Volume I contains a brief review of adsorption history and its development for practical purposes up until now. It also presents some important information on adsorbents and catalysts as well as on the methods of their characterization. The part of this volume dealing with practical industrial applications includes chapters presenting advanced technical tools for high capacity adsorption separation of liquid and gas mixtures, development of new adsorbents for removal of hazardous contaminants from combustion flue gases and wastewaters, degasification of coal seams and fabrication of inorganic membranes and their applications. A comprehensive review is also included on contemporary utility of self-assembled monolayers, adsorption proteins and their role in modern industry, adsorption methods in technology of optical fibre glasses, sol-gel technology, solid desiccant dehumidification systems, etc. The articles give both the scientific backgrounds of the phenomena discussed and emphasize their practical aspects. The chapters give not only brief current knowledge about the studied problems, but are also a source of topical literature on the subject. A comprehensive bibliography on adsorption principles, design data and adsorbent materials for industrial applications for the period 1967-1997 concludes the book.

The application of a technique combining thermogravimetry and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry is shown for selected analytical problems encountered by the Research Division of the U.S. Customs Service. These include the compositional analysis of a fabricated object, the detection of a benzenoid containing compound in a complex matrix, the compositional analysis of styrene-butadiene rubber blends, the differentiation between the natural and chemically modified forms of a natural product, and finally, the determination of country of origin of another natural product. In each of these cases, the combination of the two techniques provided the information necessary to address the analytical problem.

A multielement evolved gas analysis technique for the simultaneous determination of up to eight elements is described. The results obtained in one analysis are a quantitative composition in terms of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I) and fluorine (F), and a distribution of these elements as a function of the evolution temperature. Determinations for which the system is used include the amount, composition and volatility of, for instance, kerogen materials, the amount of fixed carbon (coke) on catalysts, or the thermal stability of polymers. The instrument has become an indispensable tool in the screening of materials, in compositional analysis, and in kinetic studies.
