✦ Synopsis
The thermal behaviours of cellulose and its primary and subsequently secondary substituted derivatives (viz. cellulose tosylate, cellulose tritylate and their acetates and benzoates) have been studied in air by differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry from ambient temperature to 700'. Various reactions involved (dehydration, detosylation, detritylation, deacetylation, debenzoylation, oxidative decomposition and oxidation of charred residues) are discussed. The data obtained from thermogravimetry have been utilized to obtain various thermodynamic functions for different stages of thermal degradation using the method of Broido. The activation energies for the oxidative decomposition of cellulose and its primary and secondary substituted derivatives are found to be in the range 35-304 kJ mol-t. The i.r. spectra of the residues of modified celluloses give indication of formation of a compound containing C--C and C--O groups in the final residual char. The mechanisms involved in thermal degradation of these compounds are discussed.
