The thermal decomposition kinetics of melaminium bis(trichloroacetate) dihydrate (MTCA) has been studied by thermogravimetry and derivative thermogravimetry techniques using non-isothermal experiments at three different heating rates 10, 15, and 20 ◦C min−1. Non-isothermal studies of MTCA revealed that the decomposition occurs in three stages involving dehydration and decomposition. The apparen...

Thermal decomposition kinetics of calcium carbonate was studied by non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis at different heating rates. The reaction mechanism was found to follow a two-dimensional phase boundary-controlled model by modelfree and model-fitting methods. Two non-Arrhenius equations (Harcourt–Esson equation and Berthelot–Hood equation) were used to interpret the decomposition kine...

Pure and ZnO-doped Ni0.1Co0.9Fe2O4 catalyst were prepared by co-precipitation method and thermal decomposition in air calcinated at 400-700°C and that treated with different amounts of zinc nitrate (0.46-2.25 w% ZnO). X-ray powder diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and BET analysis of nitrogen adsorption isotherms investigated the crystalline bulk structure and the surface area ...

This contribution presents results on the parameter estimation of rate constants and optical response factors in a reduced order surface kinetics ~ROSK! model, which has been developed to describe the decomposition kinetics of the organometallic precursors involved and their incorporation into the film deposition. As a real-time characterization technique, we applied p-polarized reflectance spe...

Traditional models of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition are all based on first order kinetics in which the decomposition rate of a particular C pool is proportional to the size of the pool and a simple decomposition constant ðdC=dt 1⁄4 kCÞ: In fact, SOM decomposition is catalyzed by extracellular enzymes that are produced by microorganisms. We built a simple theoretical model to explore t...
