TGA4000 (Perkin Elmer)
Device:
The thermogravimetric analyzer TGA 4000 consist of a micro-balance coupled to an oven, which allows to follow the variation of a sample weight during eating-induced transformations.
- Temperatures range: 30°C – 1000°C
- Sample weight: 5 mg to 200 mg
- Under controlled (nitrogen) or ambient atmosphere.
Principle:
The sample is placed on the weighting module in an alumina holder, then heated following a programmed temperature profile (simple gradient, multiple plateau, etc..)
The measured weight loss allows to determine several sample characteristics: oxidation kinetics, degradation/phase transformation temperatures, humidity absorption or desorption, inorganic/organic amounts, decomposition points, etc..
Routine measurements:
-
Follow of mineralogical transformations
-
Quantification of mineralogical phases
-
Quantificatin of organic phases
