Thermochemical properties of copper forms of zeolite zsm5 containing ethylenediamine

Abstract  Copper forms of synthetic zeolite ZSM5 containing ethylenediamine (en) were characterised by methods of thermal analyses - TG, DTA and DTG in the temperature range 20-1000C, in air and in argon atmosphere. Mass spectroscopy was used for the study of the released gas products of thermal decomposition. The results of thermal analyses of three Cu(en)xZSM5 zeolitic products with different composition (x depends on the mode of preparation) checked their different thermal properties. The main part of the decomposition process occurs at considerably higher temperatures than the boiling point of ethylenediamine of all three products, it proves strong bond and irreversibility of en-zeolite interaction. According to the results of the mass spectroscopy method the decomposition process in inert atmosphere is characterised by the development of a large spectrum of products with atomic mass from 28 to 178 atomic mass units, and there is a correlation between the mode of sample preparation and the spectrum of...
