Zd. Zivkovic et al., KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF THE THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF M(NO3)(2)CENTER-DOT-NH(2)O (M = CU, CO, NI), JOURNAL OF THERMAL ANALYSIS AND CALORIMETRY, 53(2), 1998, pp. 617-623
This paper presents the results of simultaneous DTA-TG-DTG and DSC stu
dies on the thermal decomposition of Cu(NO3)(2). 3H(2)O, Co(NO3)(2). 6
H(2)O and Ni(NO3)(2). 6H(2)O in an air atmosphere. The mechanism and e
nthalpies of the investigated processes were determined, as well as th
e kinetic parameters of the processes run under non-isothermal conditi
ons by means of Kissinger's method. The dependence of the activation e
nergy on the ionic radius of the cations building up the crystal latti
ces of the investigated compounds was also studied.
