Cumene Hydroperoxide (CHP) has been used in the production of Dicumyl Hydroperoxide (DCPO) and phenol. In Taiwan, several severe fire or explosion incidents have occurred due to its thermal instability or reactivity. In this research, the exothermic decomposition of CHP in Cumene was characterized by isothermal microcalorimeter, TAM (thermal activity monitor), because isothermal testing offers ...

This is the first comprehensive study on the kinetic modeling of adiabatic decomposition of ditert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) and its solvent mixtures. The adiabatic thermal decomposition of DTBP and its solvent mixtures was examined using an accelerating rate calorimeter under varying thermal inertia. The decomposition products were characterized using gas chromatography-total inorganic carbon anal...

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...
