The Characteristics of the Dehydration Reaction and the Durability for the Thermal Decomposition in Na₂B₄O₇·10H₂O/Na₂B₄O₇·5H₂O System

본 연구에서는 $Na_2B_4O_7{\cdot}10H_2O/Na_2B_4O_7{\cdot}5H_2O$ 반응계의 열분해 탈수반응에 의한 반응속도상수를 결정하고 반응계의 재현성 및 화학축열재의 반복사용에 따른 내구성을 검토하였다. 반응계의 열분해 탈수반응의 차수는 1차이었고, 열분해 탈수 반응속도는 수증기의 분압차에 정비례하였다. 반응계의 반응속도상수는 약 0.27이었고, 반응속도상수와 반응차수에 대한 반응의 재현성이 우수하였다. 또한 화학축열재의 내구성은 연속적으로 반복 사용하여도 활성변화는 ${\pm}5%$ 범위 내에 있었다.

This study was carried out to determine the reaction kinetic constant of the dehydration - thermal decomposition of $Na_2B_4O_7{\cdot}10H_2O/Na_2B_4O_7{\cdot}5H_2O$ and to investigate the durability during the repeated use of a chemical heat-storage material and the reproducibility of reaction system. The order of the dehydration reaction was 1st-order. The reaction rate was directly proportional to a partial pressure difference of water steam. The kinetic constant was 0.27 and the reproducibility of dehydration reaction for a kinetic constant and a reaction order was excellent. The activity variation in the durability test of a chemical heat-storage material was within range of ${\pm}5%$ during the repeatedly use in several times.
