Abstract
The paper presents the results of thermal analysis of polymer material in the form of starch derivatives in the form of sodium carboxymethyl starch (CMS–Na) with degree of substitution (DS) in the range 0.2–0.9 for the preparation of foundry binder. In this work, the thermal behavior of the modified starch and qualitative assessment of degradation products released during pyrolysis were determined and comprised. The analysis of the course of progressive decomposition of the starch material under controlled heating in the range of 25–1000 °C in anaerobic atmosphere was based on the results of thermal analysis methods (TG–DTG–DSC) in combination with the results of pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py–GC/MS). The detailed TG–DTG–DSC analysis allowed to determine and compare the temperature at which the process of decomposition of carboxymethyl starches sodium salts with different degrees of substitution begins and to determine the course of its degradation under conditions corresponding to the contact of the foundry binder in the form of starch material with liquid metal (conditions like in foundry mold). Thermogravimetric analysis shows that decomposition processes are multistage, and dehydration is the first step of decomposition. Moreover, TG–DTG–DSC analyses indicate that the thermal stability and the decomposition path of tested compounds depend on the DS. Results of Py–GC/MS studies showed that the formation of decomposition products (including cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons) in a predetermined temperature range is lower in the case of CMS–Na with high DS.
