A. Malecki et B. Prochowskaklisch, THE INFLUENCE OF OXYGEN-PRESSURE ON THE KINETICS OF THE THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF CO3O4, Journal of thermal analysis, 41(5), 1994, pp. 1109-1117
The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of Co3O4 has been examined i
n the 1123-1200 K temperature and 2.66-20.73 kPa oxygen pressure range
. The kinetics of this process has been described in terms of a mixed-
control model of reaction. The values of activation energies of diffus
ion chemical reaction as well as the observed activation energy have b
een given. The strong dependence of the decomposition rate on temperat
ure and oxygen pressure has been explained.
