Abstract
The ability to determine the actual reaction mechanism (RM) of solid state processes from a single non-isothermal curve was analysed and discussed. Owing to the correlation of all kinetic parameters the RM cannot be ascertained without the knowledge of activation energy. However, if the activation energy is known a simple and precise method for the determination of RM can be proposed. The method was used to analyse the experimental data of the thermal decomposition of magnesium carbonate in vacuum. It was found that the reaction follows the R3 mechanism which is in very good agreement with the results of isothermal experiments.
