THERMAL TRANSFORMATIONS OF SOLID NICKEL(II) AQUA AMMINE MONODIPHOSPHATE
Abstract
Synthesis and thermal studies of new inorganic phosphate materials are becoming more actual, because they are widely used in modern technology and agriculture.
The aim of this research was to study the thermal transformations of Nickel(II) aqua ammine monodiphosphate.
Thermal transformations of compounds were studied by complex thermal analysis using a Q-1500D derivatograph. The samples were heated in air. In experiments with a constant heating rate of 5°C/min, the samples (0.5 g) were placed in covered cylindrical platinum crucibles with lids.
The X-ray phase analysis was carried out on a DRON-UM1 diffractometer (CuKα radiation). A single crystal of graphite placed in a diffracted beam was used as monochromator. The diffraction patterns were taken by the method of step scanning in the range of angles 2Q = 4…80°. The scanning step was0,05°, and the expose time in a was 3…9 s. The measured diffraction maxima were approximated by the pseudo-Voigt function, with the Kα1 component being separated out.
The IR spectra were taken on a Specord 75-IR spectrophotometer. Samples of compounds to be analyzed were prepared in the form of KBr pellets in which the concentration of a substance under study was 0.2-0.3 wt %.
Anions components in phosphates were estimated by using data of qualitative and quantitative paper chromatography.
The nickel content of the samples was determined gravimetrically with dimethilglyoxime; the phosphorus content, gravimetrically by the quinolone-molybdenium method; the ammonia content, by distillation in a vacuum on Seren’ev’s apparatus.
Ni2,5(PO4)1,0(P2O7)0,5×3,4NH3×6,0H2O was prepared by salting out from aqueous ammoniac solution. As starting reagents we used mechanical mixture consisting of Ni3(PO4)2∙8H2O and Ni2P2O7·6H2O with a specified molar ratio of the PO43− і P2O74−; water ammonia (23÷25% mas) and acetone.
Thermal analysis of aqua ammine monodiphosphate was studied in the temperature range 292…1118 К. Thermolysis of this compound is accompanied by several weak endothermic and exothermic effects which superimpose to each other іn the DTA and DTG curves. The most visible effects were with minima at 351, 369, 526 К. At range 858…936 К some exoeffects were observed, they were poorly separated at DTA and DTG curves.
There are four distinctly visible steps of the sample weight loss at 335…480; 486…573, 580…800 і 818…1041 К in thermo gravimetric curve.
It was found by X-ray analysis that starting Nickel(II) aqua ammine monodiphosphate was amorphous; final products of heating are crystalline and biphase. One phase is isostructural to Ni3(PO4)2, second – to Ni2P2O7.
