8、d upon the vant Hoff equation:3Ts5 To2 RTo2!/HF! (1)where:Ts= specimen temperature, KTo= melting temperature of 100 % pure material, KR = gas constant (= 8.314 J mol1K1), = mole fraction of impurity,H = heat of fusion, J mol1, andF = fraction melted.4.2 This test method consists of melting the test
9、specimenthat is subjected to a temperature-controlled program whilerecording the heat flow into the specimen as a function oftemperature. The resulting melting endotherm area is measuredto yield the enthalpy of fusion, H. The melting endotherm areais then partitioned into a series of fractional area
10、s (about ten,comprising the first 10 to 50 % of the total area). The fractionalarea, divided by the total area, yields the fraction melted, F.Each fractional area is assigned a temperature, Ts.4.3 Eq 1 has the form of Y = mX +b where Y = Ts,X=1/F,m=(RTo2)/H, and b = To. A plot of Y versus X shouldpr

To linearize the plot, an incrementalamount of area is added to the total area and to each fractionalarea to produce a revised value for F. The process ofincreme

This phenomenon is describedapproximately by the vant Hoff equation for melting pointdepressions. Measuring and recor
19、ding the instantaneous heatflow into the specimen as a function of temperature during sucha melting process is a practical way for the generation of datasuitable for analysis by the vant Hoff equation.5.2 The results obtained include: sample purity (expressedas mole percent); enthalpy of fusion (exp
20、ressed as joules permole); and the melting temperature (expressed in Kelvin) ofthe pure form of the major component.5.3 Generally, the repeatability of this test method decreasesas the purity level decreases. This test method is ordinarilyconsidered unreliable when the purity level of the majorcompo
21、nent of the mixture is less than 98.5 mol % or when theincremental enthalpy correction (c) exceeds 20 % of theoriginal detected enthalpy of fusion.5.4 This test method is used for quality control, specifica-tion acceptance, and research.6. Interferences6.1 This test method is nonspecific. Many impur
22、ities maycause the melting temperature broadening.Thus, it is not usefulin identifying the nature of the impurity or impurities but onlythe total mol percent of impurity present.6.2 The vant Hoff theory assumes the following:6.2.1 The impurities dissolve in the melt of the majorconstituent forming a
23、 solution approximately described byideal solution theory;6.2.2 The solubility of the impurity in the solid of the majorconstituent is negligible; and6.2.3 The major constituent displays a single well-definedmelting endotherm in the temperature range of interest. Micro-scopic investigations of the m
24、elt and the solid may help toestablish whether or not solid or liquid solutions have beenformed.6.2.4 The solute and solvent are close in molecular size.6.3 In some cases the sample may react with air during thetemperature cycle, causing an incorrect transition to be mea-sured. Where it has been sho
25、wn that this effect is present,provision shall be made for sealing the specimen and runningthe test under an inert gas blanket. Since some materialsdegrade near the melting region, carefully distinguish betweendegradation and transition. See Appendix X1.6.4 Since milligram quantities of sample are u
26、sed, ensurethat samples are homogeneous and representative.6.5 Sublimation or decomposition will lead to a differentheat consumption and, perhaps, a change in composition of thespecimen. The specimen holder should be examined after themeasurement for crystals not part of the resolidified melt.7. App
