Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was used to study interactions between water vapour and the surface of thermally converted sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO). The decarboxylation degree of the samples was varied from 3% to 35% and the humidity range was 54-100%. The obtained enthalpy values were all exothermic and showed a positive linear correlation with decarboxylation degrees for each humidity studied. The critical humidity, 75% (RH), was determined as the inflection point on a plot of the mean-ΔH kJ/mole NaCO against RH. Humidities above the critical humidity lead to complete surface dissolution. The water uptake () was determined after each calorimetric experiment, complementing the enthalpy data. A mechanism of water vapour interaction with decarboxylated samples, including the formation of trona and Wegscheider's salt on the bicarbonate surface is proposed for humidities below RH.
采用等温滴定量热法(ITC)研究了水蒸气与热转化碳酸氢钠(NaHCO₃)表面之间的相互作用。样品的脱羧程度在3%至35%之间变化,湿度范围为54 - 100%。所获得的焓值均为放热,并且在所研究的每种湿度下,与脱羧程度呈正线性相关。临界湿度75%(相对湿度)被确定为平均ΔH(kJ/摩尔Na₂CO₃)对相对湿度的曲线图上的拐点。高于临界湿度的湿度会导致表面完全溶解。在每次量热实验后测定吸水量(),以补充焓数据。对于相对湿度以下的湿度,提出了水蒸气与脱羧样品相互作用的机制,包括在碳酸氢盐表面形成天然碱和韦氏盐。
