National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

On the Partial Dehydration of Aluminum Nitrate Nonahydrate to Form the Hexahydrate. (I). A Computational Equilibrium Investigation of the Thermal Decomposition of Aluminum Nitrate Nonahydrate. (II).

PB293577

Publication Date	1978
Personal Author	Herman, Z. S.; Riter, J. R.; Chughtai, A. R.
Page Count	20
Abstract	The work on the thermodynamics of aluminum nitrate nonahydrate decomposition has led to two manuscripts. The first, 'On the partial dehydration of aluminum nitrate nonahydrate to form the hexahydrate,' suggests mechanistic interpretations for the first two steps in the thermal decomposition process. The second, 'A computational equilibrium investigation of the thermal decomposition of aluminum nonahydrate,' covers the work on the thermal decomposition to diaspore and alumina. A discussion is given on the condition of kinetic control of the decomposition reactions of nitrogen in the +5 valence state (HNO3 vapor and N2O5) to uneconomical and undesirable gaseous nitrogen. One of the conclusions of the computations is that diaspore is the stable solid product below 200C and alumina above this temperature.
