Abstract

Thermogravimetric studies of the combustion kinetics of sucrose carbon with varius impurities, mainly vanadium and lead, show V to be a strong catalyst of the oxidation under conditions of chemical control of the reaction, whereas Pb increases the apparent activation energy of the reaction. To some extent, the addition of Pb counteracts the effect of vanadium. The “compensation effect” between the activation energy and the frequency factor is operative in all cases studied. The transition between chemical and diffusion control correlates with isokinetic temperatures in some of the samples.
