A. Venkataraman et Mc. Patel, THE KINETICS OF THERMAL DEHYDRATION OF FEC4H4O6-CENTER-DOT-2.5H2O EMPLOYING DSC TRACES, Thermochimica acta, 242, 1994, pp. 249-251
The non-isothermal dehydration kinetics for the loss of coordinated wa
ter of the hydrated ferrous tartrate FeC4H4O6 . 2.5H(2)O, have been st
udied by DSC technique under nitrogen atmosphere with varying heating
rates. The specific reaction rate constant determined by employing the
Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method is found to increase linearly with increase i
n heating rate. However, there is no effect on specific reaction rate
with variation in sample mass.
