Abstract
A method for the comparison of kinetic parameters of reaction/process for thermogravimetric measurements at isothermal and dynamic conditions and processes on a larger scale were considered. It is based on the concept of finite time and corresponding total conversion of the solid phase. The method allows for the determination of Arrhenius parameters without the selection of process mechanism. The results obtained for isothermal and dynamic conditions (comparison between dehydration process and thermal decomposition of calcite) indicate that the values of parameter E in both cases are similar, but values of ln A (the entropic factor) differ from each other. It also has been shown that the method of coke and char preparation notably influences the activation energy values of the CO2 gasification reaction, which is associated with varying degrees of devolatilization and corresponding development of the sample pore surface area.
