Kinetic Analysis of Thermogravimetric Data

Abstract

A new method for obtaining the kinetic parameters from non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis is proposed. This method is simple and applicable to n-th order reactions where n is arbitrary. The order of reaction is estimated from experimental TG curves obtained by different heating rates. The application of this method t9o pyrolysis of calcium oxalate presented. The results are in good agreement with previously reported method.
