V. Balek et al., EVALUATION OF THERMAL-ANALYSIS EXPERIMENTAL-DATA .2. OPTIMAL CONDITIONS FOR EVOLVED GAS-ANALYSIS OF THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF SOLIDS, Journal of thermal analysis, 39(8-9), 1993, pp. 1019-1029
The influence of various factors on EGA and TG/DTG results of thermal
decomposition of solids is analyzed. Following factors have been consi
dered: the flow rate of the gas medium in the dynamic measurements, th
e diffusion resistance of the solid sample for gaseous products, the s
hape of samples, the grain size distribution of the disperse samples.
The ways how to determine optimum values of the parameter have been di
scussed. The use of THERMOKIN software package is recommended for this
purpose.
