R. Font et al., Kinetic law for solids decomposition. Application to thermal degradation of heterogeneous materials, J AN AP PYR, 58, 2001, pp. 703-731
The kinetic expressions considered for the decomposition of heterogeneous s
olids, with several reactions and inert compounds, are discussed. Proposals
of the best way for expressing the kinetic equations are presented, as a c
onsequence of the mathematical analysis used. A discussion on the number of
parameters that can be obtained in the correlation of experimental data is
also presented. In addition, a method for comparing the kinetic constants
is proposed. This analysis is applied to thermal decomposition data of seve
ral wastes where potential laws have been considered. (C) 2001 Elsevier Sci
