Ehm. Diefallah et al., KINETIC-ANALYSIS OF THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION REACTIONS .8. RADIATION EFFECTS ON THE THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF AMMONIUM OXALATE MONOHYDRATE, Thermochimica acta, 230, 1993, pp. 143-153
The effects of gamma radiations on the kinetic parameters of the dynam
ic thermal decomposition-gasification reactions of ammonium oxalate mo
nohydrate have been investigated using differential thermal analysis a
nd thermogravimetry techniques. Kinetic analysis of the dynamic TG res
ults are discussed in view of a composite integral method in compariso
n with the integral methods due to Coats and Redfern and to Ozawa. The
activation parameters for the non-irradiated and irradiated samples a
re calculated and the results of the different methods of data analysi
s are compared and discussed.
