MELTING POINT BY DSC METHOD (EC A.1. method)
1. Test objective
The test item is heated within a nitrogen atmosphere, at the atmospheric pressure, using the Differential Scanning Calorimetry method (DSC). Therefore, the determination of the temperature at which the test item changes from the solid state to the liquid state is determined.
2. Principle
The test item sample and reference material are both maintained at the temperature predetermined by the program even during a thermal event in the sample. The amount of energy which has to be supplied to the sample to maintain zero temperature differential between the test item sample and the reference material is the experimental parameter displayed as the ordinate of the thermal analysis curve. The rate of energy absorption by the sample is proportional to the specific heat of the sample.
Any transition accompanied by a change in specific heat produces a discontinuity in the power signal.
Melting of the test item is characterised by an endothermic enthalpy change that gives a peak whose area is proportional to the total enthalpy change. By contrast, decomposition is characterised by an exothermic peak.
3. Method
3.1. Apparatus
Analyser DSC 131: Connected to a computer using the Setsoft 2000 program
Balance Accuracy: ± 0.01 mg Mettler AB 265 S
Barometer
Crucibles
Gas cylinder of nitrogen
3.2. Experimental procedure
An aliquot of test item was placed in a crucible. A lid was fitted and the crucible was placed in the DSC analyser. The heating procedure was performed from room temperature to 600 °C. The other assays were performed up to the temperature necessary to obtain the melting peak.
3.3. Expression of the results
Several heating procedures were performed until two values for the melting point
were in the range of the estimated accuracy of the method: ± 0.5 °C up to 326.9 °C and ± 2.0 °C above 326.9 °C.
The melting point was calculated automatically using the Setsoft program by linear
integration of the curves obtained: “Heat flow as a function of the temperature”.
If the test item decomposes or sublimes before the melting point is reached, in this case the temperature at which the effect is observed shall be reported.
4. Results
4.1. Introduction
Three assays were performed during the test but no melting point was observed. A
decomposition of the test item was observed. These assays are presented in the following pages.

4.5. Discussion
At the start of the assays, the test item was a white powder. At the end, we obtained black residue on the wall of crucible. At about 275 °C decomposition was observed however no endothermic peak was detected.
5. Conclusion
Decomposition was observed at about 275 °C.
