Application of iso-temperature method of multiple rate to kinetic analysis

Abstract

A new method of the multiple rate iso-temperature was used to define the most probable mechanism g(α) of a reaction; the iterative iso-conversional procedure has been employed to estimate apparent activation energy Ea, the pre-exponential factor A was obtained on the basis of Ea and g(α). In this new method, the thermal analysis kinetics triplet of dehydration of calcium oxalate monohydrate is determined, which apparent activation energy Ea is 82.83 kJ mol-1, pre-exponential factor A is 1.142·105-1.235·105 s-1, the most probable mechanism belongs to phase boundary reaction Rn with integral form g(α)=1-(1-α)n and differential form f(α)=n(1-α)1-(1/n), where accommodation factor n=2.40-1.40.
