Errata and comments on “thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate—A TGA–FTIR–MS study: part I” [Thermochim. Acta 610 (2015) 57–68

Abstract

Some errata were noticed in the calculated pre-exponential factor (A) data represented in the TGA and kinetic analysis section of the paper “Thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate—A TGA–FTIR–MS study: part I” [Thermochim. Acta 610 (2015) 57–68]. In the discussion, we analyse what went wrong during the determination of the pre-exponential factor and subsequently identify the correct values. The correct value of pre-exponential factor (A) for the decomposition of 250 to 300 µm size AP particles during the LTD and HTD stages is found to be 5.70 × 109 min−1 and 2.70 × 109 min−1, respectively.
