Kinetic analysis of non-isothermal solid decomposition reactions. An approach to the treatment of experimental data

Abstract The kinetics of non-isothermal solid decomposition should be studied with methods which separate the influences of temperature and conversion. Integral and differential methods are used to discriminate between models for both single and two controlling steps. The model and kinetic parameters corresponding to 14 solid decompositions or dehydrations are presented. The distinct possibilities of non-isothermal techniques are briefly discussed.
