Abstract

The differentiation of known kinetic models in appropriately chosen coordinate systems has been investigated. A new method of defining the control of chemical reaction rate has been presented, the suggested method being based on the use of known kinetic model equations. It consists in comparing the respective model courses with the experimental. For isothermal conditions, the model curves, f(α) vs. α, are compared with the experimental DTG vs. TG. For conditions of linear temperature increase, however, model courses of the type (1/f(α) (df(α)/dα) vs. α and corresponding experimental curves {[(DDTG/DTG2)—(Eγ/RT2)](1/DTG)} vs. TG are used for comparison: such visual comparison allows a rapid estimation of the closeness of experimental results and predicted models. This method was verified with positive results with experimental material under isothermal conditions (for the thermal decomposition of PbSO4 and for the oxidation of copper in air) and for conditions of linear temperature increase (for the oxidation of copper in air).
