Kinetic analysis of thermal decomposition was carried out by using differential scanning calorimetry, derivative thermogravimetry, and thermogravimetry. 1) The thermal decomposition mechanism could be estimated by measuring the residual fraction (Cm) at a temperature when decomposition rate was maximum. The Cm was characteristic of reaction mechanism. 2) The activation energy could be estimated by measuring the difference between temperatures (Td) of maximum decomposition rate at different heating rates, or measuring the Td when the crystals decomposed to a certain fraction at different heating rates. The Td was independent of reaction mechanism.
